Little Life on the American Ranch

Chapter 577 Failure
After the children's performance is over, it is a formal adult performance. Naturally, it is impossible for adults to ride a sheep. What the cowboys perform is riding a bull.

As soon as the host's words fell, the wooden fence over there opened, and in an instant, a lively bull and a cowboy jumped into the arena. The cowboy on the back of the bull tightly grasped the harness bag on the back of the bull with one hand One hand was raised high, and the body shook violently with the bull's body.

If you have never ridden a cow, you may feel that this job does not seem to be very difficult, but you will really experience that feeling when you really step on the back of a cow. The whole world is shaking, and your head will With the frantic beating of the bull, there is an extreme and strong sense of dazzling.

The first cowboy to play was very good. He persisted on the bull's back for a long time before being thrown off by the bull.When the cowboy got up, he stretched out his hands and saluted the audience.

"what!"

At this moment, the bull had calmed down. The bull who stood still turned his head to look at the field, and found that the guy riding on his back was still there, so he turned his head and stomped on the ground a few times, and rushed towards the ground. The cowboy who was taking the curtain call rushed over.

When the bull rushed over, the audience let out a cry of surprise.

Hearing the exclamation of the audience, the cowboy who was taking the curtain call turned his head and saw the bull rushing towards him like a small tank, and immediately turned his head and ran away.As a result, a funny scene of a cowboy running a bull was formed in the field.

The cowboy seemed to do it on purpose, and ran two or three laps around the bull at high speed, which drew warm applause from the audience in the auditorium.

The strength of a bull is not comparable to human power. After running for a few laps, the strength of the cowboy is almost used up. The cowboy is also very experienced, so he immediately turned his head and ran towards the railing, turning over slightly to increase his strength. With the help of his companion standing on the railing, he jumped over the railing and reached the safe zone.

Boom!
The bull's violent temper directly hit the railing and made a loud bang, which immediately caused another exclamation from the audience in the stands.

The performance of the first cowboy was very exciting, not to mention the Chinese tourists who came to play, even Jian Heng couldn't help but whistled loudly and cheered.

The next few cowboys will be much inferior. Each of them has not spent more time on the bull's back than the first cowboy, and there is no fancy after falling off the bull's back. But even so, the audience present He still didn't hold back his own applause. For the cowboys, anyone who has the courage to step on the back of a bull is a good guy.

Just when everyone thought the championship was already won by the cowboy who appeared first, the cowboy who appeared last let everyone know what it means to be strong in the middle and stronger in the middle. One was five seconds longer, and it was these five seconds that allowed the last cowboy to appear to win the bull riding competition.

The next exercise was calves tying. Jian Heng didn't participate, but there were people from Jian Heng's ranch, one was Toby and the other was Huang Xiaodong. Jian Heng saw the two standing on the scene getting ready, so he naturally became interested.

Generally speaking, tying a calf is divided into several parts. What is important is the unity of man and horse. Not only must the man have quick hands and eyes, but the horse must also be alert enough so that the calf can be best trapped and tied up tightly. Among them, as long as there is a slight mistake between the man and the horse, the champion may belong to someone else.

The main trick of this sport is to make fewer mistakes, because all the cowboys who come to participate are masters, and everyone is almost on the same level. It is really uncertain who wins and who loses. It depends on the individual's on-the-spot reaction, luck The guy who can get a good ranking, as for the unlucky guy, it can only focus on participating.

Because people from the ranch participated, Jian Heng watched it very seriously. This competition also had the largest number of people participating. There were almost [-] members of the family, so this competition was the last one this morning. The host It is known that after the game is over, there will be a short break, and the game will continue at two o'clock in the afternoon.

The first dozen or so contestants completed their work smoothly, as Jian Heng estimated. The gap was only a few tenths of a second, and the fastest one was only two seconds longer than the slowest one. It sounds like a lot, but you Think about the two ticks, that is, an instant thing, which is not fast at all in life.

After finally waiting for Toby to play, Jian Heng saw Toby riding a horse and standing on the edge of the field getting ready, so he yelled at Toby: "Toby, come on!"

call out!
After speaking, Jian Heng inserted his finger into his mouth and blew a loud whistle.

Hearing Jian Heng's encouragement, Toby waved his hand in the direction where Jian Heng was standing, and then heard the referee say GO, and immediately urged his horse to gallop towards the calf in the field.

Maverick seemed to be petrified by the group of people at this moment, standing motionless in the center of the arena, raising his head and looking straight at the dark crowd of spectators around him.

Toby controlled the speed of the horse, and at the same time the rope in his hand was already thrown up. Seeing that the calf was about to enter the range of the rope, suddenly the calf seemed to come to his senses and turned his body to face Toby and him directly. His horse rushed forward.

The calf's action startled Toby, and when he was about to look for an opportunity to throw out the lasso in his hand, he found that the calf, which hadn't even grown a cow, lowered its head as if it was going to challenge it with its own small body. Toby and his steed.

Upon seeing such a situation, Jian Heng, who was standing in the auditorium, couldn't help raising his right hand and clenched his fist, hitting the palm of his left hand, while making a sound of annoyance.

"Ugh!"

This invisibly increased the difficulty of Toby and greatly affected Toby's performance.

Toby didn't seem to take this into consideration, he gave the horse's head a light swipe, then turned sideways and threw out the lasso in his hand.

Toby's technique is really good. Anyway, Jian Heng doesn't have his ability. He can throw out the lasso in such a posture on horseback, and buckle it around the calf's neck without any mistakes.

Suddenly the rope tightened, and the steed under Toby's crotch immediately stretched out its four hooves, stopped itself at the shortest distance, and controlled the calf with its weight.

Suddenly being trapped, the calf naturally had to struggle, but before the calf could react, Toby jumped off the horse quickly, and rushed directly to the calf standing on the field, hugging After holding the calf, Toby twisted the bull's head and then suppressed the bull's head with the weight of his whole body, causing the calf to tilt sideways. , and fell to the ground with a snap.

As soon as the cow fell, Toby quickly picked up the rope and tied up the calf's four hooves within three or four seconds, and then raised his hands high, not realizing that he had already completed it.

The referee came over to check if there was any problem with the tying of Toby's calf, and then signaled to the staff on the scene, and Toby's result was reported there.

Toby's results are not too bad, but they are not the best either. He must have lost the chance to compete for the championship.

Toby got off his horse, tied up his horse, and walked to Jian Heng's side.

"thanks, thanks!"

Along the way, people I knew expressed sympathy for Toby's game. If the Mavericks didn't suddenly go crazy, Toby's score would probably be the first.

Toby didn't take the championship too seriously, and it didn't matter if he had it or not, so he came to Jian Heng's side while thanking everyone.

"It's too bad luck!" Jian Heng also sympathized with Toby.

Toby smiled and said calmly: "That's how the game is, no one knows what will happen!"

"This game doesn't seem to have anything to do with me," Jian Heng said.

Toby laughed and said, "There's Huang Xiaodong, too. His technique of tying calves is also quite good. If you're lucky, you can win a championship and come back."

"Okay, then let's go out to eat after watching his game." That's all Jian Heng said, just to comfort Toby, how could he not watch Huang Xiaodong's game.

In fact, Huang Xiaodong did not disappoint Jian Heng, and won a silver medal for Jian Heng. To be honest, it is equivalent to nothing. The champion is Buckle, so he can’t be the runner-up. Besides, it is hard to find something cheaper than Buckle ah.

Fortunately, the sports meeting only focused on stirring things up, and the sense of victory and defeat was not that strong, so it didn't affect everyone's mood. However, the destruction of the entire team in the pasture in the morning was a matter of iron and nail.
