Little Life on An American Ranch

Chapter 115: clue

  Chapter 115 Clues

  After seeing off Rebecca, Jian Heng returned to the lake with the black beans again. Just as the brush was lifted up, the mobile phone on the shore rang again.

   Picking it up, I found that it was Catherine Anderson's phone, that is, the manly widow with a strong personality who was familiar with Old Walsh and Jian Heng.

   "Jean! There are cattle thieves nearby, I'll let you know." Catherine waited for the phone call, and immediately talked about the cattle thieves to Jian Heng.

Jian Heng heard from Rebecca that he hadn't paid much attention to it. Generally speaking, cattle thieves always shot to change places. After committing a crime, they immediately slipped away. Now it seems that this group of people are very courageous. Ruthless!

   But when he heard Catherine say this, he couldn't help but pay attention to it: "Another house was stolen?"

   "I'm talking about the Eagle Ranch in North Africa, which one do you think it is?" Catherine asked curiously.

  Jian Heng said: "I just heard Rebecca from O'Brien's family talk about this matter, and she just left."

  Jian Heng is embarrassed to say, I knew there were cattle thieves, but I didn’t pay attention to them, and I didn’t think about notifying you at the first time.

  Catherine also hummed.

   "How much has the North African Eagle lost?" Jian Hengduo asked.

   "A dozen or so, their ranch was stolen yesterday afternoon, and the news came out just now!" Catherine opened her mouth and said.

  As mentioned earlier, cattle stealing is a small group, and if there are more than 20 cattle, it is a large gang of cattle stealing.

  In a sparsely populated place like Montana, the difficulty of stealing cattle is not in stealing, but in transportation.

  What era is it now? If the cattle thief only relied on manpower to drive the cattle, then the ranch where the cattle were lost would bring dogs, neighbors and friends, and ride horses, and the cattle thief would be caught in a short time.

Now cattle thieves use carts to transport cattle, and usually not one, but several small trailers together to spread the stolen cattle, several in one cart, several in one cart, so that people can easily find them. Hard to find.

  Because Montana is too vast and sparsely populated, if it is transported in small batches by car, it will not be able to block the highway alone.

   "I see!" Jian Heng nodded solemnly.

Putting down the phone, Jian Heng remembered that there was still a troublesome thing waiting for him for his cattle. Since the cattle were bought back, Jian Heng had not marked the cattle with the pasture mark, except for changing the ear tags. There is no other way to identify it.

  Now that there is the threat of cattle thieves, Jian Heng has to think about making up for the unfinished work.

Now Jian Heng stopped brushing the horse, and directly called to arrange for Zhang Jialiang to go to the city to buy liquid nitrogen. After cleaning the horse in twos and twos, he wiped his feet and was going to go back to change the horse and drive the cow back to the pen early. Branding.

  Just when Jian Heng was about to take the black beans back to change horses, he suddenly heard the cry of the big cow. The cry was long and loud, as if he had discovered some danger.

  Jian Heng didn't care about anything else when he heard it, he reached out and grabbed the edge of the saddle, turned onto Heidou's back, stretched out his hand and patted Heidou's neck: "Let's go and have a look!"

Hei Dou suddenly sat on a person. Hei Dou was a little uncomfortable, but he was stunned for a few seconds. When the big cow's loud moo sounded again, Hei Dou immediately raised all four hooves towards the big cow. The place ran over.

Heidou was running with all his strength. At the beginning, Heidou didn't start fast, and his acceleration was average. But fortunately, this guy has good stamina. After running about four to five hundred meters, Heidou's speed increased. Jian Heng's ear It started to get wind. At this time, Heidou was still slowly accelerating. All the conditions showed that Heidou was a great long-distance horse.

   It’s just that Jian Heng is not in the mood to care about Heidou at this time, but is worried about the situation at Daniel’s side, wondering if he has encountered the aforementioned cattle thief.

   While riding the horse and galloping wildly, Jian Heng took out a long gun in the space. The long gun that was loaded with bullets was carried by Jian Heng in his hand, and his courage could not help but grow stronger.

  As for why the spear was taken out, it was just in case something happened to the cattle thief.

It is not uncommon to have a gun battle with a cattle thief. The old cowboys are not polite to those who steal cattle into the pasture. Although they are rarely killed, things that injure cattle thieves happen from time to time. , and let alone wounding the cattle thief here, even if killing him, the rancher is usually a little troublesome.

  If the cattle thief is still carrying a gun, he will be killed if he is killed, because the cattle thief enters with a gun without being invited, and the owner has the right to protect his own rights.

  As he got closer to the call of Daniel, Jian Heng kept calling for Daniel, Erhu and Qianlong in his heart, hoping that the three of them could approach him.

  When Jian Heng rode the black beans to the top of the small slope, he found that the mixed herd of cattle, sheep and deer led by Da Niu was trotting towards him along the valley.

  There is nothing strange about these, what is strange is that above the herd of cattle, at a height of about ten meters, there is a snow-white suspended-wing drone.

   This drone is much smaller than the one played by Nathan. It is the common one that can hover, has four propellers, and is hung with a camera.

   Jian Heng saw this drone, and immediately started searching around, and soon locked on a small forest outside the ranch.

   At this time, apparently the guy controlling the drone also found Jian Heng. The drone that was following the herd immediately turned around and flew back, and the flying direction was exactly the small forest that Jian Heng guessed.

  At this time, Jian Heng immediately took out the phone, raised the gun in his hand at the same time, and fired a shot into the sky.

boom!

  A gunshot immediately echoed over the pasture.

  As soon as the phone call was made, Jian Heng immediately said: "Catherine, someone from my side is flying a small camera drone on my ranch. I suspect it's the group of cattle thieves!"

   "Where is it?" Catherine asked immediately.

  Jian Heng hung up the phone after announcing the approximate location, and then ran towards the grove with a gun in hand.

  Following Jian Heng's phone call, two or three minutes later, almost all the ranchers in the vicinity got the news, and all of them picked up their guns as quickly as possible, and stepped onto their horses with live ammunition.

  Some people headed towards the place Jian Heng said, while some people surrounded them on the possible road.

   I have to say that the military literacy of these American cowboys is really not fake.

  At this time, even the O'Brien family, who had always been at odds with everyone, and the nearby corporate ranch also had cowboys involved.

   Just as Jian Heng rushed towards the grove, the drone in the sky suddenly started spinning like a headless fly, and fell to the ground in a short while.

  At this time, Jian Heng was not interested in looking at the drone, so he rode the black beans and ran towards the grove. At a distance of about a few hundred meters, Jian Hengben dared not walk in a straight line.

   Afraid of being hacked, Jian Heng walked in a zigzag with great experience.

  At this time, Jian Heng really felt a bit possessed by a cowboy, and he didn't feel any fear in his heart. He only wanted to catch this cow thief and use the most effective method he knew to avoid danger.

   Completely forgot that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and he still has a secret space.

The horse ran in a zigzag shape, and naturally had to slow down. Heidou is not a magical horse, and he can walk in a zigzag without slowing down. When Jian Heng reached the edge of the fence, facing the fence that was half the height of a person, he was thinking about how to get over. I saw that Heidou turned around by himself, walked away from the fence by about twenty meters, and then rushed to the fence at a high speed. With a sharp kick of the rear hoof, the whole body of the horse jumped high into the air, Just jumped over the fence.

   "Damn it!"

   During the whole process, Jian Heng opened his eyes wide, until the black beans fell to the ground, Jian Heng still had an incredulous expression on his face: at the height of half a person, how could this black bean jump over without training?

   Hurrah!

  Heidou snorted, as if showing off what he had just done.

  The sound of the nose called Jian Heng back, and urged Heidou to check the grove. As a cowboy, Jian Heng quickly found the location of the person who controlled the drone just now by relying on some barely hidden traces.

  There is only trampled grass on the scene, and a remote control unit that has been destroyed. Maybe he walked too hastily, and the remote control unit looks like it was just cracked.

Putting away the gun, Jian Heng got down from Heidou's back, just as he was about to reach out and pick up the cracked remote controller to look at it, he suddenly remembered that it was dirty, and there might be a cow thief's fingerprints on it of.

   Didn't reach out to take it, but Jian Heng took a closer look curiously, and as expected, he saw the name of a big Chinese manufacturer on it.

  While Jian Heng was looking at the drone, the sound of horseshoes gradually sounded in the distance. With Jian Heng's ear strength, he could be sure that it was definitely not the sound that two horses or five or six horses could have.

   Throwing the bad remote controller into the space with a flick of his hand, Jian Heng stepped onto Heidou's back again.

  As soon as he sat back on the horse, Jian Heng opened his eyes and saw a dozen horses galloping towards him, and there were seven or eight big cattle dogs beside them.

   Tap! despair! despair!

  The rapid sound of horseshoes and the barking cattle dogs, don't even mention that the momentum looks a bit huge.

   The front runner in the team is Jayden Morey. Their family mainly raises sheep. The old guy is very fat and doesn't fit in with the old Walsh.

   "What about people?"

  Jetton came to Jian Heng's side and asked curiously.

   "No one, but I found this" Jian Heng picked up a small stick at this moment, and picked up the remote control handle of the drone that was trampled on through the crack.

   "Maybe there are fingerprints on it!" Jian Heng said.

  Hearing Jian Heng's words, a group of old cowboys were stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing collectively.

   "Do you think our small police station here can use things like fingerprints?" An old cowboy asked with a smile.

  Jian Heng frowned and said, "It won't be the same as before, two tables with a small iron cage?"

Seeing their expressions after speaking, Jian Heng understood that the police station here has hardly changed since he left. What.
