The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 200 199. Treasure in the Lake

After returning from Scarland Manor, Lin Feng has been thinking about several recent events in the pastoral area.

There are various signs that all this is related to the financial conglomerates who are about to enter Montana, but there is no evidence to link them to them.

Just out of intuition, they must be careful and will not reveal their flaws.

Even if the motorcyclist who was wreaking havoc everywhere was caught, he would probably be let go like Jassim before, and nothing would end.

As early as a few years ago, some people were eyeing the open land in Montana's pastoral areas, thinking that it could be developed into a second Las Vegas by cooperating with the Indians on the back of the reservation.

Bureaucrats in the Montana state government seem to think so too, but the herders below don't buy it.

The complete private ownership of land has led to the slow progress of the northwest development plan, and not many people are willing to sell the land on which they depend for their livelihood.

The herdsmen are in the light, and the real estate developers are in the dark.

At present, there is not much that can be done, but everyone can vaguely smell the breath of war.

At night, Lin Feng plunged into the small world.

Those ginseng seeds seemed to be moving. He was sure that although they had not broken out of the ground yet, he could feel the restlessness under the black soil.

I got up very early the next day. Recently, Lin Feng personally checked the condition of the fence every day.

Dad also asked why the little native pig disappeared. Lin Feng excused himself and said that he ran away. In fact, he raised him in his small world and became the native bully.

The native pig seemed to have entered a period of ecstasy due to staying in the small world for a long time.

Lin Feng guessed that if he was planted in the small world, he might not be able to grow quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Who?"

This makes Lin Feng very happy, maybe he can give himself a surprise someday.

Lin Feng plans to get a few more sows for breeding. Then, like free-range turkeys, there will be a steady supply of pork to eat.

Lin Feng nodded, "The most likely ones are real estate developers. They collude with politicians and some ranchers to transform pastoral areas into resort centers."

Seeing that his boss got up at six o'clock every day, David didn't sleep in anymore. After all, his salary was considered high in the entire pastoral area.

Lin Feng told him what happened at Scarland Manor. David frowned and felt that it was not simple.

Unfortunately, it seems that this breed does not exist in the United States, so there is no way to witness the "miracle" with my own eyes.

The seeds of the "King of Desert Vegetation" Haloxylon ammodendron tree can only live for a few hours, but as long as they get a little water, they can take root and sprout within two or three hours.

"Geronimo."

Under normal circumstances, it takes one to two weeks for rose seeds to germinate. The few roses planted in the small world are even faster, and several buds more than ten centimeters long have already grown.

Instead, you can experiment with bean sprouts. They germinate faster and can be harvested within a few hours of planting.

"Don't forget there is another person." David said.

The kitchen remodeling at home is completed, and you can start cooking meat at any time.

One is because of the big black bear, to prevent it from coming in again and running wild.

The second is that I am worried that the motorcyclist might one day be the one who gets hit.

"Including the previous poisoning of the Yellowstone River, some people wanted to destroy the pastoral area."

"You mean the Indians? I don't believe they would use such dirty tricks."

"BOSS, Geronimo's charisma is indeed very attractive, but that guy's ambition will support him in doing anything that is beneficial to expanding the scope of the reservation."

What David said does make sense. Chief Geronimo is a businessman and a politician, and he is from the same background as a herdsman.

They do not believe in any cowboy rules and always put interests first.

Especially for the Indians, a suffering nation, in their eyes, white people are just a group of untrustworthy thugs who steal land and kill all their people. Lin Feng felt melancholy. He just wanted to run his ranch well. It seemed that people had no control over the situation. Even people like the Scarlander family who wanted to live a stable life were also involved.

When the entire pastoral area is remembered, no one will be spared.

In the morning, he planned to go to the island in the middle of the lake to relieve his boredom.

Now that the pumping work has been completed, the water level of Tranquility Lake has dropped by one-third, exposing a large tidal flat where people can easily sink if they step on it.

As Jasmine's father said before, if there is no heavy rain, it may be difficult to replenish the water level.

But once he did this, there was no room for regret. At that time, he had to stand up and do something, which could be regarded as a reward for the pastoral community's acceptance of him.

It is very difficult to go to the island in the middle of the lake now. You need to push the small broken boat to walk at least 20 meters on the tidal flat.

For this reason, Lin Feng put on waterproof riding boots, which looked like water shoes. The difference was that the soles of the riding boots were very soft to step on and were covered with a layer of wool.

The tidal flat near the small pier is fairly hard, not so soft that no one can stand on it.

Just as he untied the cable and struggled to push the boat out, something suddenly shook his eyes.

After searching around with squinted eyes, I found that there seemed to be an iron box embedded in an exposed tidal flat, with only a small part exposed.

This made him a little excited, because there were often hidden treasures.

But that area is so muddy that even waterfowl are reluctant, and there is no way for people to cross.

It was at least ten meters away from the lake shore, and he didn't want to risk it for an iron box.

Then I thought of the big golden eagle, maybe that guy could pick it up from the air.

He used his consciousness to call the big golden eagle. The guy thought he was asking it to do some hard work, but it turned out that he was a little reluctant after he found out that it was doing hard work.

Forced by Lin Feng's YIN power, he did it anyway.

The big golden eagle landed firmly on the iron box with its feet, and then tried to hook the edge with its claws and pull it out, but it was embedded too firmly and could not move at all.

The tidal flats are squeezing each other, creating a strong force, and it is estimated that even holding it directly by hand will be very laborious.

The big golden eagle looks majestic on the surface, but in fact it is useless. It is a pity that the mutton it was fed before is useless!

I have to continue to think of a solution. If I don't take out the iron box and open it, I guess Lin Feng won't be able to sleep tonight.

Continue to search for your ranch assistants. It is said that you can raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while. Now is the time to show your ability.

The four Gouzi brothers will definitely be of no use, and there is a high probability that they will fall into it, so even those who fight on the ground will not be able to do it.

As a result, his ranch was almost wiped out, and the only useful one, the big golden eagle, was barely alive.

I suddenly had an inspiration, opened the door to the small world there, and then asked a reliable guy to get the iron box out.

A very clever idea, but you still have to use the small world at critical times.

This important task naturally fell on Wayne. Lin Feng called Charlie and asked him to call Wayne over.

Now Wayne is very understanding of human nature. He only needs Charlie to point at Tranquility Lake and he will know what he should do.

David also came with him. The white Dogo was slender and seemed more suitable for this task, but Wayne was more powerful.

Just do it, let Wayne get into the small world first. After closing the door, Lin Feng aimed at the tidal flat and reopened the door accurately.

Wayne stood at the door and stuck his head out. Lin Feng didn't need to use his words, he could convey instructions only through his consciousness.

After all, the dog's two front paws are not human hands and are not that flexible. While pulling the iron box, you must keep your center of gravity to avoid falling into the mud.

After going back and forth like this for about ten minutes, the iron box only moved slightly and was still embedded inside.

If it takes a lot of effort to get it out later, if it is opened and found to be a pile of stones or other useless junk, then Lin Feng will definitely smash the box!
