The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 201 200. The little pig makes great contributions

Since the door of the small world can only be opened and closed in the same position, Lin Feng has no way to "teleport" to salvage the iron box himself. Otherwise, he can easily do it himself without having to go to such trouble.

Wayne was so tired that he stuck out his tongue. His upper limbs were unable to pull the iron box out of the mud.

When Lin Feng was about to think of another way, the pig's head appeared at the door of the small world and squeezed Wayne in with his fat body.

From Lin Feng's point of view, it looked very funny. A huge pig's head was hanging there out of thin air, and it was still moving around.

It became curious about the iron box, rubbed its head a few times, and then licked the mud on it.

Lin Feng planned to use the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and gave Tuzhu the order to arch the iron box.

The result was unexpected, it easily pushed the box out!

Although there is no way to move the iron box into the small world with two pig hooves, it can lift the thing out of the tidal flat!

So Lin Feng opened and closed the door of the small world to let the native pig push the iron box into the water little by little. With each push, Lin Feng moved the door of the small world forward, and then rowed his boat to salvage it.

Unexpectedly, a pig helped him in the end. To Lin Feng's surprise, Wayne pushed the iron box without moving at all, and the pig could actually run around with it!

This taught Lin Feng a lesson, don't ignore any person or animal, sooner or later something will surprise you.

The golden eagle, which was originally the most promising, flew away in despair. The native pig, which was not taken seriously by Lin Feng, actually helped him a lot.

Recently, due to pumping, the lake water has become a little turbid, but its body can still be seen clearly.

Crocodile?

The drop in water levels may have disturbed the living environment of deep-water animals, causing them to rise to shallow water to feed.

When he reached the top of the iron box, Lin Feng picked up the net bag and started fishing.

But the guy in the water swims very much like a crocodile, but his body is not as strong and more like a "fish".

But I heard David say that crocodiles are rare in Montana. This is determined by the natural environment. Florida, with abundant rainfall and a suitable climate, is the favorite of crocodiles.

However, just as he was rowing over to salvage the iron box, the problem arose again.

But now Lin Feng is more focused on the iron box that was pushed into the water by the native pig just now. The boat can paddle across it without running aground at that position.

I finally saw its true face clearly, it was nearly two meters long!

This was Lin Feng's first reaction.

There seems to be some unusual creature in the lake!

This made his relaxed mood tense instantly. The movement was not like ordinary fish, and a large group of fish were scurrying around as if they were frightened.

Maybe there is a "lake monster" in the lake that is more terrifying than this "big fish".

He took out his mobile phone and took a video, ready to show it to the knowledgeable Uncle David to see who it was.

It has no dorsal fin but has a tail fin. It is very fast. It is chasing a group of fish in front of it and passes by Lin Feng in a swagger.

The boat was shaken from side to side by the impact, but it did not capsize.

Lin Feng was overjoyed.

The other fish in the lake were facing a formidable enemy, and Lin Feng had never seen them escape like this before.

Like a slender cannonball, its body is covered with dark olive green scales, which shine brightly from the sunlight refracted into the water.

I tried several times but failed to catch it. On the fourth try, I accurately covered the iron box, turned it over with force, and successfully pulled it onto the boat.

I fished the lake water and cleaned up the mud on it, but it was still rusty and looked like it was old.

After shaking off the water almost completely, I was ready to open it and take a look. It felt like opening a blind box.

The difference is that the blind boxes in the mall have a range of choices, and this iron box is completely a matter of luck. However, there is an equally rusty password lock hanging on it. The password is definitely unknown and can only be cracked through brute force.

So Lin Feng patiently returned to the lake shore and took it to the tool room.

There is everything there, even a rusty combination lock.

Wayne and David were released from the little world, and the two dogs ran happily towards the pasture.

After a clanging sound, the lock on the iron box was smashed crookedly, so I just smashed it without stopping!

The last hammer fell, and the lid of the iron box opened by itself driven by inertia.

The moment the answer is revealed.

A coin popped out of it!

The coin bounced to the ground and made a crisp sound.

In addition, there is a pocket watch lying quietly in the box. It has been soaked for a long time and is probably broken.

The case is rusty, but the classic sophistication is still visible.

However, it’s hard to say whether this kind of mechanical equipment can be repaired and used.

Empty the water in the empty iron box, wipe the mud inside with paper, put the gold coins and pocket watch back in, then close the lid and put it in the small world, and then take it out and study it slowly when you return to the wooden house.

It was an unexpected blessing. Now there was no need to go to the island in the middle of the lake, and I could go home to appraise the treasures.

I plan to send it to Paul Schneider and ask him to check if it is anything valuable. If the value is too low, I will keep it as a decoration.

Although we haven’t seen each other for a long time, we have kept in touch with Paul on social media.

That guy likes to share his life on the Internet. He lives a very chic life and has hundreds of thousands of fans. He is considered a small Internet celebrity.

Lin Feng was a little nostalgic for the days when he was running for the golden apple in Seattle. During that time, his mood was ups and downs. Fortunately, everyone was happy with the final result. Looking back now, he feels that it was a valuable experience.

I don't know what kind of surprise the coin and pocket watch can bring to me, but the coin is only average in quality, and I don't feel it has much value.

But the pocket watch is worth looking forward to.

In his room at night, Lin Feng carefully cleaned the dirt on the surface of the coin with a brush. He used the well water from the small world. He didn't know if it had any magical effect of "bringing the dead back to life".

That pocket watch was more troublesome to clean, and it took a full hour of washing with small world well water before the work was done.

But I still feel a sense of accomplishment. I can see the exquisite workmanship of this pocket watch.

I sent photos to Paul, and he wanted to see an appraiser from the auction house to take a look, maybe tomorrow at the earliest.

As for the coins, there really isn't much to see.

It is bare with almost no patterns, only the word "XII" and the letter "e" are engraved on it, and then there are some scratches and the like, like leftovers after processing some kind of handicraft.

Lin Feng's focus was on that pocket watch. It was probably worth some money, otherwise it wouldn't be packed in an iron box.

As for why it appeared in the beach coating of Jinghe Lake, Lin Feng analyzed that it might have been accidentally dropped by the previous owner while boating on the lake. Later, it was pushed to the shore with the current and embedded in the mud.

Of course, these are not important. Everything found on the ranch belongs to him. This is clearly written in the laws of the United States.
