The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 108 107. Late Night Rescue

After Christmas came New Year's Day. That night, Lin Feng's family had a great time eating and drinking. Jasmine was also there, and it was her turn to visit her home.

Hans asked his daughter to bring two bottles of red wine that he had collected for many years, saying they were for Lin Feng’s father.

Lao Lin was so happy that he even called his future in-laws to express his gratitude.

At his home in Qincheng, Lao Lin collected a cabinet of white and red wine, nothing expensive, mainly just for his liking.

The two bottles Hans gave were probably quite valuable. After dinner, Old Lin sat on the lounge chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding the two bottles of wine and loving them.

Lin Feng thought about going to the supermarket in town in a few days to see if there was any Guimao, and then buy a bottle for the old man to enjoy.

During this period, the condition has been relatively stable. I also had a recent dialysis checkup. Dr. Sun said that the situation is relatively optimistic and there is no need to worry too much.

Lin Feng felt that the well water in the small world was slowly working, and maybe he could create a medical miracle before the kidney transplant.

After New Year's Day, a new year begins.

I forget the time when I get busy. Half of January has passed in the blink of an eye, and there are only sixteen days left before the Spring Festival.

Before my parents came to the United States, they planned to return to Qincheng years ago. They lived comfortably here and never mentioned going back again.

But the couple has always been worried, and they don't want to delay their son's development. Besides, the two of them were not used to living in the United States. They stayed at the ranch all day with no one to talk to.

In addition, weather is also a problem. The temperature in the pastoral areas of northern Montana fluctuates greatly. Except for cowboys with rough skin and thick flesh, ordinary people may not be able to adapt to it.

It is difficult to change the lifestyle that has lasted most of my life at once, especially for my father. Although he is ill, he can still go out to play poker and chess with the neighbors in his hometown, and visit other places.

The period of living on the ranch made him feel bored and panicked, as did his mother, and she couldn't worry about the family at all.

If it weren't for medical treatment, the couple would not really be willing to stay in the United States.

Lin Feng also understood, so he usually talked to them as much as possible, or took his parents for a drive or went to town.

That evening, after dinner, the family watched TV in the living room.

After entering January, a new round of cooling is about to begin. It is said that this time it will be colder than before, and not even a little bit colder.

Just after New Year's Day, several states near the Great Lakes have already experienced historically low temperatures.

Due to geographical factors, the coldest cold wave in Montana will come later than in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, etc., and March will be the lowest temperature of the year.

At Rogers Pass in Montana, a low temperature of -1954 degrees was detected in the winter of 54, and avalanches often occurred.

People living there would actively bombard the snow-capped mountains with cannons to cause avalanches to occur in advance to avoid resonance and accidents when trains pass by.

Today, a large number of flights were canceled in the United States, highways were closed in many places, and some cities were almost paralyzed.

Schools are closed, businesses are closed, and shelters are overcrowded.

All the cowboys in the pastoral areas can do is stay at home and drink and warm themselves by the fire. Few people go out.

At two o'clock in the night, Lin Feng was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

It was quite scary to suddenly come to the silent night in the middle of the night. Lin Feng fumbled for his mobile phone from under the pillow. His first reaction was Jasmine. He couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and wanted to chat with him.

It turned out to be an unknown number.

There have been a lot of sales calls lately, and it's hard to escape harassment even in the United States, and telemarketing seems to be a pretty common industry here.

David's wife, Catherine, used to work part-time as a telemarketer, making sales calls to customers after returning home from get off work at a convenience store.

However, there should be no dedicated salesmen still working at this time, unless there is something wrong with their brains.

When he picked up the phone, the other party said he was Nicholas McClung.

Lin Feng was a little confused, and it took him a few seconds to realize that he was the eldest son of the rancher of Tranquility Meadows.

Calling myself so late, I subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

It could be heard that Nicholas was very tired now, breathing heavily as if he had just run a marathon.

Lin Feng seemed to hear the dull sound of gunshots and the braying of cows.

A hint of foreboding. Soon his worries became reality, it was a distress call from Serenity Meadow Ranch.

Their home was invaded by wolves again!

Nicholas said with some despair: "It should be the same wolf pack from before. They tasted the sweetness last time and are back tonight."

"Mr. Lin, for the sake of my father, I hope to get your help."

Nicholas' words were full of desperation.

Lin Feng would not sit idly by. He immediately called Uncle David and Wayne, and they picked up their equipment and set off immediately.

The German Shepherd brothers are eager to try, but they need to stay and look after the house.

You have to go at times like this, even if you can’t help anyone, you still have to show up.

Otherwise, if your ranch encounters trouble in the future, no one will step forward to help.

Moreover, they all have weather vane marks on their chests. According to the sixth article of the "Cowboy Code", they must help people in trouble.

This is the "Riverdale Cowboy Survival Guide" left by Ben Grando back then. It is similar to an international military alliance. Cowboys have the responsibility and obligation to unite in the face of invasion.

My mother was woken up and asked him where he was going so late.

Lin Feng told the truth about the situation, but his mother was worried and said it was too dangerous.

Lin Feng pointed to the weather vane mark on his chest, "Mom, because of this, I have to go."

My mother knew some of the stories, and she nodded and told her son to pay attention to safety, not to show off, and to retreat if he couldn't fight.

Lin Feng comforted him and said, "They were probably a pack of little wolf dogs. They scared them away after a few shots. Xiao Min and I were able to kill several of them with pistols before."

Saying this makes me feel a little worried.

When I was on the phone with Nicholas just now, judging from the wolf howling in the back, it didn’t seem to be Zhan Wuzhao.

It only took five minutes from the call to the pickup truck to drive out of the ranch. I hope the McClung family can hold on.

"Uncle, do you think we should go?"

Before setting off, Lin Feng still asked Old David to hear his thoughts.

"BOSS, even if you put aside the cowboy laws, if you still have thoughts about the land of Tranquility Meadows, we should go there."

Lin Feng didn't hesitate anymore and turned the car key.

It's extremely cold tonight, the temperature is estimated to have reached -10 degrees.

The two people in the car were shivering from the cold. It was useless to wear more clothes in this weather. The best way to keep out the cold was to stay at home.

Before we reached the peaceful meadow, we saw lights flashing there from a distance, the light of a hand-held searchlight.

And... torches, they actually used such primitive things.

You can hear wolves howling, dogs barking and cows barking, and then people cursing.

David, who was sitting in the co-pilot, was ready for battle. He was holding a telescope to observe the situation in front. His Winchester M70 was already thirsty.

The main battlefield was near the cowshed. Through the dazzling headlights of the pickup truck, Lin Feng saw at least a dozen pairs of green eyes wandering nearby, as well as a few frightened Angus cattle running around in the pasture.

The McClungs were driving away with guns drawn, and it seemed they were not very well-equipped.

Poor vision at night makes it difficult for the gun to be effective.

Wolves are color blind, but their night vision is very good. Wolves can generally see one or two kilometers away at night.

This disparity puts the McClungs at a definite disadvantage.

The situation was far more complicated than imagined, and Lin Feng had a vague feeling that these wolves were extraordinary and much more aggressive than the coyotes he usually saw.
