The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 5 5. Activate the small world

Lying in bed at night, Lin Feng began to curse the young man named Cassidy.

This guy wanted to pierce his chest. At that moment, he even felt that these people were trying to tease him.

For some reason, the location of the "weathervane" felt a dull pain. He remembered that there was an inconspicuous birthmark there, which might have caused a chain reaction.

The ointment does not cause pain, it just makes the wound scab faster.

In order to divert attention, Lin Feng turned on the gramophone. It was a very old piece of equipment. It was a miracle that it still worked, but the songs were all in an old-fashioned style.

Just when Lin Feng was about to be hypnotized by the song, a strange phenomenon woke him up.

The air in front of me trembled inexplicably for two seconds, and then a thin line of faint light drew a rectangle as high as a person floating in the air.

It's like using something to pull out a box in the real world.

Lin Feng rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw correctly. That faint blue line did exist.

He boldly leaned over and found that the rectangular space was slightly distorted, like an asphalt road that was heated by the sun in summer.

For safety reasons, Lin Feng picked up an apple on the table and threw it over. The magic happened again, the apple actually disappeared!

At this time, the brain's first reaction was something like four-dimensional space, and those fantastic science fiction novels played a role.

Then Lin Feng picked up a bottle of mineral water and slowly stretched it into the rectangular area. As a result, the bottle seemed to be cut off, and when he pulled it out, it returned to its entire shape.

After trying several more times with different items, he initially concluded that this was a door, and Lin Feng began to boldly reach out.

It was advancing almost in units of millimeters. There was no feeling of contact between the fingers and the line surface. I watched my right hand disappear little by little, then my arm, and then the whole person stepped over.

It was completely dark at first, but the vision suddenly brightened up, giving the illusion of transcending time.

He immediately raised his pistol and pointed around, discovering that this was an exquisite... small world.

Lin Feng wanted to use "small world" to describe everything he saw.

The sun is blue, the sky is white, the wooden house and trees are green, the grass is green, and then there is a well.

It feels like being in an ecological ball. Except for this small pastoral space, the rest of the place is filled with transparent walls, and everything is blank when you look out.

It's like a privately-customized peach blossom land, and it seems to have its own background music. You can always hear the gentle tunes in your ears, which are vaguely audible and inaudible.

The furnishings of the white house are very simple, there is nothing special about an ordinary log cabin.

His attention was focused on the well, and Lin Feng's intuition made him think that it was not simple.

So I went to the white house to find a bucket, tied a rope and shook the handle to get a bucket of water.

For safety reasons, he didn't dare to drink it directly. There was no harm in being more cautious, but at this moment, there was no living thing to "test the poison" for him.

After some mental struggle, Lin Feng decided to take a small sip. The reason why he was bolder was because this was so amazing!

If the mysterious power allowed itself to have a small world just to poison itself, it would be too much trouble. It could have killed itself when it entered.

After drinking a bottle-cap-sized amount of well water, a chill swept through my body!

From his throat to his stomach, he felt inexplicably comfortable. This was the sweetest water he had ever drunk. It wasn't the sweetness of drinks with added sugar, but the taste of the well water itself.

At the same time, my brain feels much more relaxed, not as groggy as before.

Tasting the sweetness, Lin Feng scooped up another cup and drank it.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about the microorganisms that exceeded the standard. He was sure that this was a gift from God. The reason was unknown.

Before leaving the small world, Lin Feng filled half a bucket of water and brought it back to the real world as drinking water before going to bed tonight.

I was feeling sleepy at first, but now I am full of energy and can even go out and run for a few kilometers.

Maybe this is the benefit of "magic well water".

What's even more amazing is that when I woke up the next morning, I found that the burned skin next to the brand mark on my chest was almost healed, and the scars on my face were also healing faster than normal. I looked in the mirror and saw that I was radiant.

Lin Feng was extremely happy. If the well water in the small world really had this function, then running a ranch would be a smooth road for him in the future. A huge ranch empire seemed to be at his fingertips.

More importantly, maybe that thing can help dad cure his illness.

I couldn't wait to call home, but on second thought I decided to verify it a few times before confirming the effectiveness of the spring water.

As agreed, today Ms. Laura will drive him to downtown Montana to complete the final procedures.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Ms. Laura appeared at the ranch on time.

The driver with her was the same driver from last time, a bearded white man.

"You look good. It seems that the air in the countryside is very good. When I was a child, I grew up on my grandfather's ranch. Those were my happiest days."

"Montana?" Lin Feng asked.

"Texas is not as pure as River Valley. People pay more attention to business. Now it has been developed into a tourist resort."

Lin Feng nodded, "As far as I know, the herdsmen in River Valley Town like their current life and environment. Someone must pass on the cowboy spirit."

He told Ms. Laura everything that had happened recently, except Little World, who enjoyed it as if she were listening to a story.

The past few days have been as long as months, especially at night. He is always worried that someone will break in again, or a beast or something like that. Anything can happen in the suburbs.

There used to be a pack of wild wolves that often wandered near the lakeside pasture, and Uncle Frank spent a lot of money to hire hunters to drive them away.

Recalling the scene at that time still makes me shudder. Listening to the wolf howl at night, the sound seemed to be right next to the pillow, which made people shudder.

Lin Feng asked about applying for a green card. Now he must have Zhang Na. He didn't care about the welfare policy just to facilitate the operation of the ranch. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to apply for a gun license.

Although "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", it is safer to hold a gun by yourself in pastoral areas, but it will be very troublesome once you are investigated.

Ms. Laura admitted that it was difficult because his current conditions did not meet any green card standards.

Well, maybe you don’t need a green card, you can just throw the gun into the small world and it will be done.

Lin Feng has mastered the method of opening the door to the small world. It should be related to the birthmark on his chest. After being branded, it feels like a switch has been activated.

You only need to concentrate and think about it to summon the "door", but there will be a pain in the chest that lasts for a few seconds, which is still within the tolerance range.

Lin Feng has always wanted to find another animal to verify the efficacy of well water. Ms. Laura accidentally mentioned that if you feel bored alone, you can keep a dog as a companion. She has three at home.

This reminded Lin Feng that dogs would definitely be needed to run the ranch in the future.

I kind of miss the native dogs in China, they are loyal and easy to feed, and they will eat delicious food if you give them any leftovers.

This requires going to a pet shelter or rescue station to adopt. If you have the ability, you can also go outdoors to catch wild stray dogs with Poké Balls, which is more challenging.

In the afternoon, after completing all the formalities, I learned that there is a pet rescue center in River Valley Town.

great.

The target is a sick dog, so as to prove the true efficacy of the well water.

When he was officially going through the inheritance procedures, something shocked him!

He thought the estate tax was just symbolic, but according to Montana law, he needed to pay 40% of the total estate, which was a full $12.

This means that 30% of the US$18 in cash left by Uncle Frank is equivalent to being thrown away in vain, leaving only US$ in start-up capital.

This is the reality, so I have no choice but to accept it. Fortunately, the money will be enough for a while.
