Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 352 Seems

  Stepping onto Heidou's back, Jian Heng walked straight to where Denver was.

  Sisters Da Mai and Mai also started to look around the house at this time. Seeing Jian Heng walking directly up the slope, Mai Mai chased after him.

   "Where are you going? Didn't I tell you to find your sister?" Mai asked anxiously.

   "Where can she go? Think about it, where is Pooh's favorite place to go?" Jian Heng asked.

  Mait was a little confused, and asked with his mouth open, "Why Pooh?"

   Jian Heng said: "Couldn't it be Denver if it wasn't Pooh? It's not like you don't know Denver, except for himself, it seems that not many people like him?"

   "It's good for Ningning," Mai immediately retorted.

  Jian Heng can't say the reason. If Ning Ning and Jian Heng weren't close blood, it would be strange if Denver could tolerate Ning Ning's swaying.

   "I judged that Pooh went crazy with the little girl, so I'm going to go to the cattle herd to have a look. I guess it's there in all likelihood," Jian Heng said.

  Wheat was a little skeptical.

  Jian Heng looked at her eyes and said: "If you doubt it, you can stay and look for it where you think it might be. Anyway, I'm going there."

"Forget it, I'll go with you. Alison and I have searched around, even the chicken coop, but we haven't seen Ningning. I hope your guess is right." Wheat Now I am a little worried about the safety of this little girl, Ning Ning.

   Jian Heng said: "Don't worry!"

   After speaking, he urged the horse to continue walking up the slope. Although the snow in the pasture has not yet melted, after these days, there are several roads extending in all directions for the animals to pass through the motorcycle, and it is no longer as difficult as when the snow first fell.

Naturally, this situation will not last for too long, because another blizzard is coming in a few days, and then the roads stepped on will be buried by heavy snow again, and everyone will have to open up new roads again. This is the case in winter in the Jishan Mountains, where man and nature work repeatedly and are interdependent.

  After passing two slopes, Jian Heng and Mai Mai stood at the top of the slope. After seeing the herd of livestock, they also saw Ningning.

   Seeing Ning Ning Jianheng finally understood why the little girl was so happy to play, because she was riding on Qianlong's back, and Qianlong was playing in the snow with the **** his back.

This guy Qianlong can jump very high. He can jump up to a height of more than one meter or two meters with a single effort. Generally speaking, people on his back are unlikely to be able to sit on his back if he jumps so high. Deer run very fast. They are agile, but there are very few people who can sit on the back of a deer. That is to say, there are people who use a deer as a mount in fairy tales. In reality, people who can stay on the back of a deer for a minute are not bad. .

After observing it, Jian Heng seemed to understand why the little girl could sit on Qianlong's back. In addition to the blood relationship between the girl and Jian Heng, because the girl's body was very light, she could sit on Qianlong's neck. On the one hand, you can reach out and grab the antlers, and on the other hand, Qianlong's neck also acts as a cushion for the girl.

   "Ning Ning!" Seeing Ning Ning, Mai Mai immediately yelled loudly, then immediately took out his mobile phone and started calling his family to report that he was safe.

  Seeing his brother and Mai Mai, Ning Ning sat on Qianlong's body and waved his hands like a show off.

   "You little girl didn't say a word when you came out, do you know how much my mother is worried about you?" Jian Heng walked up to the little girl, and stretched out his hand to hug the girl off Qianlong's back.

   "I don't want to tell my mother, she's so talkative" Ning Ning swung her two calves, refusing to get off Qianlong's back, until the little **** hit her brother for a while, and then she was completely honest.

   "Go home, come back to play tomorrow, we will have dinner soon today" Jian Heng said as he put the **** Mai Mai's back.

  Mait stretched out a hand to protect Ningning, and then said to Jian Heng: "Since we are all here, let's drive the cattle back."

   "Alright!" Jian Heng blew a whistle as he spoke, calling for Daniel and Qianlong to come over.

  Riding the black beans around and gathering all the animals together, Jian Heng scratched his head a bit.

   Mai Mai was also helping out. Seeing Jian Heng scratching his head, he asked, "What's the matter?"

   "There are more cows in the herd again." Jian Heng counted silently carefully and said.

  Wheat said: "Will another bison come in?"

  Jian Heng looked at the herd of bison and said, "No, it seems that someone else's cattle got in."

   "Whose family?" Mai Mai asked one more time.

   "Wait, I saw one..." Jian Heng took off the lasso hanging from the farmer's head, and kept shaking it in his hands, scaring the herd of cattle out of the way, and came to the side of the cattle he saw for the first time.

   After a careful look, Jian Heng found that there was no label on the cow's ears, and no branding on the body. Jian Heng wouldn't be surprised if it was a bison, but obviously these cattle are the domestic cattle of the ranch. Although the breed of the cattle is really average, no ranch would abandon the beef cattle.

  If you lose one, you have to look for it, not to mention losing seven or eight beef cattle together.

Cows are grouped. If you find one, the other ones must be nearby. Just joined a strange group. Not only cows will cuddle, but people will cuddle too. Otherwise, how can there be fellow villagers meeting these things? . Although the metaphor is a bit inappropriate, the meaning is similar.

   "I don't know, there is no mark! There is no branding, and there is no sign of a mark on the ear." Jian Heng got on the horse again.

   "Do you want to see a veterinarian for a check?" Mai said.

  Jian Heng replied: "That's for sure. Let's drive the herd back first. When the time comes, let Juan Lynch come over and check these cows. Don't give up with any disease."

  This incident happened a bit unexpectedly, Jian Heng can only think about it first, although he thinks it is a bit weird.

   "Will you go or not? If you don't go, let me down to play. I haven't ridden enough deer yet."

   At this moment, the little girl became a little unhappy, and lost her temper with her brother and sister-in-law-to-be.

  Mait stretched out his hand and rubbed the hat on Ningning's head: "Let's go right now, I'm not a little tempered."

The two drove the herd back to the barn, Mai Mai took Ning Ning home directly, while Jian Heng and Toby stayed behind to drive their own cattle into the barn, and then put the cows that slipped in today into the barn. The cows huddled together and waited for the veterinarian to come and examine the cows.

  After Toby and the others drove the cattle into the shed, they immediately divided them into two and began to go around the pasture to find the fences that had been washed down by the cattle. Repairing them was the last task of the three of them today.

  Old Lynch came very quickly. After Jian Heng waited for a short time, Lynch came over in his sports truck, got out of the car with his small medicine box, and checked the cows.

"It doesn't seem to be a problem, but my suggestion is to isolate it for a few days and observe it. If you are worried, I have a few pills here, and you can mix them with the food and feed each head." Lynch accepted After picking up his own tools, he shook a small bottle at Jian Heng and handed it to Jian Heng.

  Jian Heng said: "What is the isolation? I don't know how long we've been together. Those who should be infected have already been infected. Do you know anyone nearby who lost a cow?"

   "No one has really heard of this, but in my opinion, these cows don't seem to have stayed in the pasture for the past year!" Lynch said.

Seeing that Jian Heng was a little confused, Lynch explained: "The physical condition of these cows is average. It seems that they have not been carefully fed for at least a few months, and the breed of cattle is a bit too hybrid. I think It may have been bred by cattle that ran out of some pasture."

   "Okay, I know, thank you, if someone loses a cow, they are welcome to come and claim it" Jian Heng said to Lynch.

   "Okay, let me ask for you." Lynch lifted the box and wanted to turn around.

  After walking a few steps, Lynch stood still, turned to Jian Heng and asked, "I heard Sarah said that you are going to buy a farm?"

   "Well, a hundred or so acres is enough to guarantee the supply of vegetables for our pasture! The one I contacted before is not going to do it anymore after the contract ends," Jian Heng said.

   Lynch said: "Old Lance's farm is ready to sell."

   "The old guy won't want to sell it to me." Jian Heng said with a smile when he heard that it was the Lawrence family's farm.

The Lawrence family’s farm is in a good place. Where should it be located? That is, their farm happens to be in the flattest place nearby. The whole farm is almost a stretch of flat land, and there is a river four or five hundred meters away from the farm. Yes, but in the Rocky Mountains, it's so close to the river, and the river doesn't dry up in summer, so it's not too much.

  Most people use easements to get river water through pipelines to irrigate their farms.

   "As long as the price is right, there is nothing you can't sell," Lynch said.

   "Shall I negotiate the price with him? It's not bad if the old man doesn't bite the price. Thank you for your kindness. I don't want to go to the old man to make fun of myself. Besides, how can he be willing to sell his farm!" Jian Heng said.

   Lynch said: "How do you know if you don't try?"

   "Huh?" Jian Heng heard something wrong.

Lynch said to Jian Heng: "Lawrence's farm is not in a good situation now, and the people from the bank have issued a final notice. If they can't make up part of the owed money by the end of this month, then they will take back his money." farm".

"Will he owe money to the bank?" Jian Heng was a little curious. In Jian Heng's memory, Lawrence was a stinky guy. He thought he was the best farmer in the vicinity. Of course, he also had arrogance. His ranch It's doing well.

"It has to start with his client. Last year and the year before last, the profit of his ranch was quite good, and the market was good, so Lawrence and his client invested in the purchase of a large farm in Harding. Expanding production, who knows that half of the work is done, and his client has an accident, so Lawrence is now facing two problems, which farm to protect."

   "Is this not guaranteed?" Jian Heng was surprised.

"He really wanted to protect this, but he couldn't! The land in Harding is an ordinary small pasture, and there are materials. Although it has been invested, who will take over such a farm. So the farm over there If you can’t afford the price, you have to pay for the two dollars if you want to keep it,” said old Lynch.

   Jian Heng thought for a while and said, "Then I won't ask the price for the time being."

   "Hey!" Lynch sighed after hearing this, then waved hands with Jian Heng, got into his car, started the fire and drove away from Jian Heng's ranch.
