Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 145 Courageous

After the meal, Jian Heng was going to change Kurt in. As soon as he lifted his foot and was about to go out, the little bear cub immediately uttered a cry like um, and writhed in He Ye's arms while yelling. Yes, it seems that he wants to leave with Jian Heng.

As soon as Jian Heng left Little Bear, he felt insecure. It may be due to the nature of animals. Little Bear felt that Jian Heng seemed to be carrying something that made him feel safe, and he couldn't help but want to rely on it. In the past, once Jian Heng left the safe range it could accept, the cub immediately felt unsafe again.

  It's like the front, it keeps leaning against the bear skin, Xiao Ning would rather be hungry first, and find a safe place for himself to avoid his natural enemies.

   "Forget it, just take it with you." He Ye stretched out his hands and handed the little bear to Jian Heng: "You are really destined to have it!"

The struggle of the stuffed bear really made He Ye a little overwhelmed, not to mention that He Ye was not the kind of girl of fifteen or sixteen years old who would be moved whenever she saw a cute thing. My son didn't want to hug the bear anymore, so he simply took advantage of this opportunity to return the bear to Jian Heng.

  Jian Heng said: "I am going out to watch cattle, what are you doing with it?"

  Although he said so, Jian Heng still stretched out his hand to take the little bear, and just put one arm around the little bear's belly, and put it under his armpit.

Once at Jian Heng's side, the little bear immediately stopped moving. Not only did he not move, but he stretched out two small front paws and hugged Jian Heng's arm, rubbing his fluffy head against it. holding Jian Heng's arm.

"You took it with you when you set off in the afternoon, so how about you put it in this bag!" Old Walsh took out a leather bag from his hand, and with a lift of his hand, he threw the bag to Jian Heng come over.

  Jian Heng bent slightly, reached out to pick up the bag: "Use this thing to pack it?"

"It should be stuffed. It's not good if it's too big. It will move around in the bag. I think it's the same. It doesn't matter if it's tight." Old Walsh also finished his meal at this time, wiped his mouth and stood while talking up.

  Jian Heng felt a little reasonable when he heard what Old Walsh said, so he stuffed the bear cub into the bag, stuffed it in and found out, yo! It really happened to be able to stuff this little thing in, so I put on the bag strap and put on the rain gear and went out of the cave to change people for dinner.

  Old Walsh's team changed, and Simon and the other family had a rest after eating and went out to drive the cattle away and continue on the road.

  As soon as the family left, the cave was completely empty and there were no people there. Old Walsh saw that he simply drove all the cattle into the cave so that everyone could rest.

  Old Walsh and Jian Heng slowly drove the cattle into the cave. He Ye put on his rain gear after seeing it, got on his horse and helped out with the bodyguards.

  When the four of them had just driven the cattle in, there was another family of ranchers driving their cattle over there.

  The Colt brothers had finished their meal at this time, they stood up and began to pack their things, tying cooking utensils and the like to the mule's back.

   Lao Wo saw that it was impossible for the cow to be driven out, so he asked everyone: "How is everyone's physical strength? If we can persist, let's go?"

   "It's okay!" Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Jim nodded immediately and stood up with a temporary crutch in his hand while speaking.

   "Let's go!" Old Walsh announced immediately.

  Drinking Jian Heng's brown sugar **** water, and everyone changed into dry clothes, so everyone has recovered a lot of physical strength now, and there is no major problem in going on the road again.

  Everyone got on their horses, each checked the things at hand, and then drove all the cattle out of the cave, and continued to drive in the direction of the winter pasture.

Turning from the cave to the transition road, waiting for about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the rain began to change from a majestic heavy rain to a patter of light rain. After the light rain dripped for about half an hour, the sun came out again. After a while, the rain cleared up and everyone was left with a small sunset, and they were free to leave work in less than a quarter of an hour.

As soon as the weather improved, everyone's mood also improved, so the speed of walking also increased. Jian Heng was afraid that everyone's physical strength would not be able to keep up, so at six or seven o'clock, he gave everyone a little space Water, so until after eight o'clock in the night, the spirit of the whole team was still good.

   Changed a road and disrupted all the original plans, so now the biggest problem after nightfall is to find a place for everyone to camp.

There are a lot of people walking on this road, and it is also the intersection of several valley pastures, and it is the prime time for transition, so many good camps are naturally preempted by those who arrive first, such as Old Walsh This group can only go forward, looking for it while walking.

   "Someone is here"

  Another better camping spot, Colt immediately went to check, turned back quickly, and said something to his father facing the cows.

"Go further?" Old Walsh looked up at the sky, and found that after the heavy rain, there was a bright moon hanging in the sky, like a small sun, illuminating the road brightly and clearly for tens of meters Anything else is fine.

Old Walsh's question is not to the cowboy, but to Jim and the others. Now the three of them don't know whether they have adapted to this state of riding, or the Jianheng space water for the three of them is a little too much, no longer like Like yesterday, he has been softly following behind the team, and now it is the first mule with three mules tied by bodyguards. After the rain stopped, Jim and He Ye began to learn to take the lead and learn together with the cowboys drive cattle.

   "We have no problem!" Jim raised his cowboy hat to Jim, indicating that he could move on.

  Old Walsh nodded and spit out a word: "GO!".

  The whole team slowly moved forward again.

"Hey! You can't do this." Dominique said to He Ye who was forcing the calf back into the herd, "It's too much effort for you to do this, so just stand where you left off. If the calf doesn't move, take it directly." Just swing the end of the rope and it’s enough, you’re not only tired of the male, but also tired of you…”

  The two held hands seriously, and the cowboys took the time to teach them some cattle driving skills from time to time, so the two gradually began to show off.

Although it is a show, but everyone came from the show. As an ordinary person or an urbanite who wants to experience the work of the transition, the current transition has become different from the beginning for the two of them. So boring.

After driving for another hour and a half, I passed a few good campsites, but they were all occupied by others. Finally, Old Walsh's luck came. There was no one left at the entrance to a pretty good campsite. After making a mark, he sent Colt to check, and after confirming that there was no one, after the old Walsh left a mark at the entrance of the camp, a group of people drove the cattle out of the road, and then drove them to the camp by the creek. .

  Just after it rained, the water level of the creek soared, almost twice as wide as the original water surface, and now less than half of the original campsite by the stream was left. But fortunately, there are not many of us, there are only so few people, and it is enough to roll around in such a big place.

  Seeing the stream, Jian Heng said to Jim: "It's raining a lot!"

   "It's fine when it's over. It's best not to have any rain in the next few days. It's really uncomfortable!" Jim replied.

   "Who do you think wants to go, let's do the work, finish the work early, go to bed early, and persist for two and a half to three days, and our mission this time will be completed." Jian Heng said with a smile.

Jim also nodded, then moved his buttocks on the horse's back, then grinned slightly, and said: "Give me some more of your ointment, it seems to be a little bit bald today, I have to take some medicine at night."

   "No mat, you?" Jian Heng heard what he said, turned his head to look at He Ye, and found that he was dismounting, and there seemed to be no problem at all.

   "It's a pity, but I'm serious about driving cattle tonight, so I exercise more."

   Naturally, Jim would not admit that his riding skills were not as good as He Ye's, so he just made up an excuse.

   "Here!" Jian Heng reached out from his pocket, actually took out a small medicine box from the space, and threw it to Jim.

   This is the healing ointment that Jian Heng made with space water and some dried fruits, just to prevent anyone from being injured along the way. I didn't expect half of it to be used on Jim and the others. None of the cowboys who drove the cows in his own group have been injured so far.

   After gathering up the cow, Jian Heng dismounted from the horse and removed the harness from Heidou's body. Of course, he also got the little bear stuffed in the bag out of the bag.

   "I'm going!" Jian Heng opened the bag, and just about to reach out to fish the bear out of the bag, he suddenly felt a smoky smell coming out of the bag.

   Without having to think too much, Jian Heng knew what Little Bear was doing in the bag.

  What can it do? Naturally, it's time to pee!

  Bao Jianheng didn't care much, because this thing belonged to Old Walsh, and the bear cub had something to do with the old man, so Jian Heng didn't care at all about how to use Baojiashi in the future.

  Now Guan Jian is this little bear and needs to be washed and scrubbed, or half of this thing is full of shit, and it’s okay to put it on his body!

Grabbing the little bear's fluffy neck, Jian Heng took the little thing out of the bag of excrement and urine. When he arrived at the stream, he first swung it with water, then brushed the little bear with a brush, and finally gave it to him. I picked up some soap bubbles from a professional brushing horse, and after I was done, I picked it up and checked it again. I felt that the hair of the little thing was almost wiped clean.

Casually put the little bear aside, Jian Heng got into the water here, and started brushing the black beans. The black beans seem to be the kind of horse that likes to play in water, and they are very happy when they take a bath. I have been playing in the water for a long time, so I am a little bit bored.

  Jian Heng's horse had just been washed when he felt something small had reached his feet. He looked down and found that the little bear cub got into the water at some point and ran to his legs.

  The little guy is small in size and light in weight. He is splashing the water now, and it looks like he will be swept away by the stream soon.

Quickly put down the brush in his hand, Jian Heng took two steps after him to lift the cub out of the water, and put it on the shore again: "Sit down calmly! When the time comes, your little physique won't even be enough to feed a fox! "

  Maybe frightened by the stream, Little Bear squatted obediently on the bank of the stream and watched Jian Heng brushing his horse, humming from time to time while watching.

  Jian Heng's horses hadn't been brushed halfway yet, and he saw Old Walsh coming over.

   "Hush!"

  Seeing that Jian Heng wanted to speak by himself, Old Walsh stretched out his finger to signal Jian Heng to shut up, and then bowed his waist and continued on his way.

  Jian Heng looked in his direction, and couldn't help being startled, because in the lower reaches of the stream, on a protruding rock, a huge male bear cast its shadow on the stream.

  Just by taking a glance, Jian Heng can say with certainty that this male bear is as strong as it was back then, and there may not be a bigger male bear within a radius of more than ten miles.

Seeing Old Walsh bowed his waist and holding a gun in his hand, Jian Heng naturally knew what was going on, so he immediately walked two steps ashore, pulled out a long gun from the side of his luggage pile, and took it out of the bullet box. A few specially made bullets were pressed into an empty magazine while walking.
