Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 151: naming rights
Chapter 151 Naming Rights
Soon the Edwin Harrison Marcus Ranch Company became a new joke in winter ranching. Because no one believes that their horse herd suddenly lost fifty mares and none of the other horses, because this does not conform to the logic that everyone has accumulated over decades.
Not only does it not conform to the logic of the cowboys, it also does not conform to the logic of the police. Even when the policemen who came to handle the case came to ask Walsh to take notes, they laughed at them at the corners of their mouths.
Nothing to steal fifty mares? Isn't that sick? This year, not to mention Montana, several nearby states are plagued by mild drought. Although there are no serious consequences, who is going to steal fifty horses at this time? So it is not fast enough to die!
This year, everyone has only heard of the pastures grazing horses, but they have not heard of any pastures that hunted wild horses on a large scale.
What makes Edwin Harrison Marcus Ranch Company even more depressing is that they have to admit that they first drove the horses to Old Walsh's ranch to prove that they really had more horses at that time Fifty mares came out.
Jokes are not jokes. Anyway, Jian Heng is not interested in caring about these things. Since everyone has driven the cattle here, the work at hand has been successfully completed.
The next step is naturally to go home, or I can’t stay in this small broken place, there are only four beds, and I can make up for one night, but if I live for a few days, how can seven or eight people sleep!
So after everyone had a good night's rest in Old Walsh's winter pasture, early the next morning, Elder Walsh and Jian Heng went back to their pasture. For the time being, only Colt and Remington were left here to take care of the cattle. group.
Because there are still guests on the old Walsh's ranch, so this year's long winter, only the two brothers will stay on the ranch. As for the old Walsh, he may come over from time to time to send some supplies to his two sons. of.
It was extremely slow when I came, but it was very fast when I came home. Without the fetters of the cattle, the few people almost didn’t get off their horses along the way, and they returned to the pasture after ten o’clock in the evening.
As soon as the four of Jian Heng returned to the ranch, Feng Sanzhu, who lived in the ranch, set up dinner for everyone. The four of Jian Heng hardly ate anything along the way, and they ate Chinese food that suits their taste. It's a bit much.
"Ah!" Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Jian Heng touched his belly, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "It's better to be at home!"
Feng Sanzhu sat next to him and said courteously: "Have some more soup!"
"No, that's enough, you can ask them if they want it." Jian Heng waved his hand, smiled at Feng Sanzhu, and motioned him to ask others on the table.
He Ye's eating appearance at this time was not very good-looking, he directly grabbed a big rib, and was chewing hard. He grew up so big, and felt that he had never eaten such delicious food.
It has to be said that after a few days of transition, He Ye has a deeper understanding of the life of cowboys. Although he already understood that cowboys may be hard work, it is not like the movie shows, but only when he is himself After experiencing it for yourself, some things can make you think more deeply.
As for Jim, he is not doing well at this time, just like Jian Heng just now, holding a chopstick into the bone cylinder and eating the bone marrow.
"I don't need it either. By the way, let them stay still with my horse, and go for a trot after eating. I ate too much today," He Ye said.
Feng Sanzhu looked at He Ye and asked: "Are you going to change the scene? Those who don't understand think that everyone is fleeing famine."
He Ye opened his mouth and said: "It's really similar to fleeing from famine. You have to get up before dawn, and you have to drive cattle after a simple breakfast. At noon, you almost eat something on horseback. It's lunch, and it's a little easier at night, but After all the work is done, the eyelids are fighting...".
Feng Sanzhu just asked casually, but he didn't expect that He Ye would start a long speech. He knew He Ye's temperament, but he didn't expect this guy to turn into a chatterbox after a change of scene.
Before He Ye finished speaking, the sound of horseshoes came from afar. Everyone turned their heads and saw two identical figures appeared in sight.
"Barley, wheat!" Seeing the two approaching, Jian Heng waved at them.
After saying hello, he put his hand on his belly and patted it happily, just like a rich landlord who has had enough to eat.
It is easy to distinguish between barley and wheat when riding a horse, because it can be seen at a glance from the horse, so not only Jian Heng, but all the ranch people can distinguish who is from who.
Aww!
Barley and Wheat came, and Denver also followed. Its attention was not on Jian Heng, but it instantly noticed the little bear cub lying at Jian Heng's feet.
When Cub Cub saw Denver, he didn't have a trace of fear. Not only did he not have a trace of fear, but his eyes were actually filled with excitement. Probably because of the same reason of space, Cub stood up from Jian Heng's feet, and ran towards Denver cheerfully.
Suddenly a little bear jumped out, not only startled the two sisters, Barley and Wheat, but also shocked their mounts.
Xi Law!
The two horses neighed at the same time, raised their heads in an instant, and subconsciously stepped back.
For people or Denver, the little bear cub is not scary, but for the two horses, it is easy to detect the dangerous aura exuding from the little bear cub, so they are suddenly a little bit scared The little bear cubs who rushed 'to them were startled.
"Duh! Duh!"
The reaction of the two sisters was fast enough, and they immediately turned around and couldn't stop comforting their own mounts.
"It's just a young bear, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!..." The two sisters said in unison while reaching out to comfort their beloved horses.
From time to time, he turned his head to look at the little bear cub that had just emerged.
At this time, the little bear cub seemed to see his relatives, he stood upright and hugged Denver, and kept rubbing his forehead against Denver's body. While rubbing, he also let out a low hum.
At the moment, Denver has a look of disgust on his face, with his eyes slightly closed and his head raised, obviously showing such an intimate expression that I don't want to get in touch with the little bear, but this guy doesn't move, just stands with his head up, accepting Cub Cub's gesture of affection.
This scene is like a woman who has lost her footsteps, being played by a benefactor who she dislikes in her heart.
After a while, the cub probably felt that he was not intimate enough, so he started hugging Denver's neck, and his two short legs froze, as if he was going to climb on Denver's body.
This time, Denver quit, just shook his head like this, and immediately dumped the bear cub.
The bear cub rolled twice on the ground, quickly got up from the ground, shook his head twice, and moved towards Denver again.
Now Denver didn't want to do what Little Bear Cub wanted, and directly started to move his legs to keep a certain distance from Little Bear Cub, and the two things started to circle around a wooden pillar.
Now Denver is almost twice and a half the size of Little Bear Cub, how could Little Bear Cub run past it, after going around a few laps, Little Bear Cub was powerless, sat down on the ground, and started whining made a pitiful cry.
When it called like this, it immediately called Mai Rong's heart, and walked up to the little bear with a look of a fan girl. At first, it didn't dare to touch it, but seeing how cute the little bear was, it opened its mouth to ask Jian Heng. ,
Unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth, the little bear walked up to her feet, stretched out his arms and hugged her legs, screaming softly while climbing onto Mai Mai's legs.
"Oh!" Maimai's heart was melted by it, and she stretched out her hand to hold Little Bear's arm and hugged it.
"Denver bullied you?"
Maimai made a childish voice, which made Jian Heng's back feel hairy. Looking at the way Maimai looked at Little Bear, he sighed and thought in his heart: Why can't women see cute things?
"What's its name?"
Balley also came over, stroked the bear's back and asked Jian Heng.
"Dog egg!"
Jian Heng didn't want to give his pet another foreign name, so he came here without even thinking about opening his mouth.
"go-die?" Damai looked at Jian Heng puzzled: "What's the name!"
He Ye couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this, but he quickly held back and looked at Jian Heng while continuing to gnaw the bone in his hand.
"G-O-U, D-A-N!" Jian Heng tried to pronounce it in Chinese, but when he thought about the tone of the two speaking Chinese, he gave up directly: "Go-die, let's go-die!"
"Not good, just call Denver II!" Barley was not polite.
"No, my name is commemorative." Jian Heng didn't want to give up the right to name the little bear, so he insisted: "Goudan, let's call it Goudan!"
"Go-die is going to die then, it doesn't sound good!" Damai didn't agree at all.
Wheat said: "How about calling it dear?"
"What kind of name is that!"
Jian Heng and Damai instantly formed a united front.
"I think it should be called Winnie, Winnie the Pooh, a character in cartoons" Damai said with an idea.
Mait nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "This name is good, this name is good."
After finishing speaking, he put his forehead on the little bear's head, and Pooh couldn't stop, Pooh yelled.
"I told you, the cub's name is Goudan!" Jian Heng still wanted to insist, so he said a few words to the two sisters.
Who knew that the two sisters ignored Jian Heng at all, squatting on the ground playing with the little bear, and kept screaming Winnie Winnie.
Denver seemed to be unable to stand it any longer at this time, and started to fight for favor, walked over and opened his mouth, bit the cub's neck and took the cub out of Wheat's hand.
Suddenly, Wheat was stunned, and Barley was also stunned for a short time. Neither of the two sisters thought that Denver would **** the cub.
By the time the two sisters came to their senses, Denver had already carried the cub across the corner of the room.
Jian Heng was very calm at this time, he felt that Denver didn't mean to hurt the cubs, but he didn't like others to share the favor of barley and wheat with himself. At this time, Jian Heng was still struggling with the bear's name.
