Little Life on An American Ranch
Chapter 116: come and go
Chapter 116 Communication
When the American police play Tai Chi, they are not inferior to the relevant departments in our country at all. They also procrastinate about cases where no one is dead. For the sake of. On this point, China and the United States have much in common.
Since everyone says it's useless, Jian Heng will take it first!
So the group of people got together again, let go of the dogs and chased the cattle thief in the direction in which he was fleeing.
There was an old hunter in the group, and he quickly determined that the opponent was riding alone, and the load on the mount was not too heavy, and even gave the approximate age of the horse.
For an old hunter like this, Jian Heng can only be amazed. If you don't have 20 or 30 years of hard work, you can't accumulate such eyesight. You have not only time but also talent.
When everyone followed the traces all the way to the small river at the foot of the mountain range, the hounds stopped at the river bank.
Because the smell of cattle thieves was gone, Jayton divided everyone into two teams and searched along the small river, up and down the river for more than a mile, but there was still no sign of cattle thieves, so each We had to regroup and go home together.
It's going to be night soon, and searching at this time can only be thankless, and the probability of finding someone is no less than finding a needle in a haystack.
At the time of parting, Jie Dun said it again to everyone: "Every family should be vigilant. Now it seems that this gang of cattle thieves is not only brave, but also has some tricks. When grazing cattle, it is best to have cowboys." Watch...".
What Jayden said was the stupid way, finding someone to watch the cow.
Although the method is stupid, it is very effective. So far, there are few cattle thieves who can kill the cowboys who watch the cows and then steal the cows. That is not called stealing cows, but robbery!
The nature of the crime is quite different, and cattle thieves who do this here usually don't make it out of the police station alive.
"Everyone, everyone just got together. If any of you have dogs or puppies, give me one or two. My ranch doesn't have any cattle dogs yet, let alone cattle dogs, not even guard dogs. " Jian Heng smiled at the people around him and said his little request.
Jian Heng saw that there were so many farmers and ranchers there, so he just asked aloud, it doesn't matter if they give or not.
Cowdogs are like family members to the old cowboys. Several generations of old cowboys who have worked on the ranch also have their own methods of training cattle dogs, such as the old Anders.
It's a pity that Jian Heng didn't think that he would be a ranch in the future, let alone that Anders would hand over the ranch to him, so Jian Heng didn't study hard. You can't train a good cattle dog just by knowing the little fur.
"Where is it at this time? Our family doesn't have it, does yours have it?"
A group of old cowboys, you look at me and I look at you. Many people said that their cattle dogs have not given birth during this period.
Jian Heng smiled after hearing this, but didn't take it seriously: "It's fine if you don't have one. I just asked this casually. Everyone, be careful along the way, and if you don't know, you might catch the son of that female cousin!"
Some people may not have it at home, but some people have it and don't want to give it to Jian Heng.
As far as Jian Heng knows, there are two families that have puppies, but these two families don’t say they don’t have them, and they just don’t say a word, as if they didn’t hear them.
Of course the dog belongs to him, so he will remember his kindness to Jian Heng, and he will return his favor when he has the opportunity.
It is their responsibility not to give it. It is their property. It is their business whether to give it or not. Jian Heng doesn't complain. But in the future, everyone will naturally have nothing to talk about. Reciprocity is not only a habit of Chinese people, it is applicable to all human societies, otherwise Jian Heng would not get along well with Old Walsh and Catherine.
If you help someone, and if they help you again, the natural relationship between helping and helping will be closer than others. For example, Jian Heng first thought of these two when someone arranged a residence this time. There is no way, the relationship is close.
Jie Dun also knew who had puppies, so he glanced at the two of them, and seeing that they didn't respond, he pretended he didn't know about it, and turned to everyone and said, "If it's okay, everyone go back." !"
Jayton knew that if Jian Heng was a white rancher, the two families would probably give it to him, but Jian Heng was an Asian, and the two didn't say it on the surface, but in their hearts they were not happy to see an Asian Become a Montana rancher.
The so-called one kind of rice raises a variety of people, and the enthusiastic and hearty Montana cowboys will always raise a few bad guys, such as racists or criminals.
In other words, this is not a rare thing. People in a place cannot be all good people, nor can they all be bad people. This applies everywhere!
Let it go! Jian Heng turned his horse's head and ran to his ranch. When Jian Heng took the remote control handle and entered the range of his ranch, it was completely dark. Fortunately, Jian Heng's memory and eyesight are very good, and it didn't take much effort to find the drone that had landed on the ranch.
Bringing the drone back to the ranch, before dismounting, Zhang Jialiang greeted him anxiously.
"Have you bought it?" Jian Heng asked after getting off his horse.
Zhang Jialiang said: "I called you several times but couldn't get through. I went to the town to check. The liquid nitrogen has been sold out, and it will be available in three days!"
Jian Heng thought for a while and said: "If there is no butcher, we can still eat hairy pigs, can't we? I will look for it later and see if old Anders' tools are still there!"
Without liquid nitrogen, you can only work **** the cattle. You can use it like a soldering iron, but it hurts a little. Of course, it is for the cattle.
Talking about Jian Heng, he went to the warehouse. Zhang Jialiang also followed Jian Heng, but he was about two or three meters behind Jian Heng. He was not afraid of Jian Heng, but he was afraid of being kicked by the black beans who followed Jian Heng.
Arrived at the door of the warehouse and turned on the light, Jian Heng realized that Heidou had come with him, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to pat the bridge of its nose: "Why did you follow?"
Heidou snorted, pawed the ground in front of him, and stepped on the ground slightly, roughly meaning: I still have a saddle on my back, how can I play without taking it off?
Seeing Heidou's movements, Jian Heng understood that it didn't want to carry the saddle anymore. So he smiled and unloaded the saddle, and put it directly on the wooden frame in front of the warehouse.
He stretched out his hand and patted Heidou's ass: "Okay, let's go play!"
Only then did Heidou yell twice happily, and then ran into the night in a hurry.
"Boss, you are really amazing. I didn't believe the horse whisperer they said at first!" Zhang Jialiang looked a little straight.
"What kind of horse talker, if you understand the habits of horses, you will know its general meaning. Horses live in groups, and horses communicate with other horses in the herd. If you understand its communication methods, you can naturally communicate with it simply. It's over," Jian Heng said.
Make sense, right? The truth is of course right, and there is nothing wrong with the big truth. There are a lot of truths that everyone understands when they talk about it, but few people do it.
Hearing what Zhang Jialiang said, it gave Jian Heng a little inspiration. He felt that there seemed to be something, which seemed to be caught, but also seemed not to be caught.
But now is not the time to think about other things. When he walked into the warehouse, Jian Heng turned around and found a few iron stamps with the sign of the pasture. Not only the iron stamps, but also the matching stove, and even And some coals for the stove.
"Is this the iron stamp used to mark the livestock on the ranch?" Zhang Jialiang knew what it was for even though he had never seen how it was used.
Jian Heng hummed, and then looked carefully to see if there was any damage.
This thing is an iron rod, with a handle on one end and the English abbreviation of Silent Lake Ranch printed on the other. In this vicinity, every ranch has a unique logo. After the animal is branded, it shows that the animal is who belongs to.
Of course, with the transfer of livestock, it is inevitable to repeat the branding situation. For example, some of the horses and cattle bought by Jian Heng have been branded. Can be overlaid or re-stamped on the side, either way!
"Use fire?" Zhang Jialiang grinned and said.
Jian Heng held the soldering iron, glanced at him and said, "It's not on your body, what kind of mouth are you!"
"By the way, where did you get the drones back? You can get two drones back in a day. With this kind of tricks, why are you doing a ranch? You can just sell the drones." Zhang Jialiang looked around and saw nothing. No one else, so he and Jian Heng became poor.
Mentioned the drone, Jian Heng asked: "Can you play this thing?"
"Yes!" Zhang Jialiang is considered a fashionable young man, and his money is not as good as that of Jian Heng, but he can play many more things than Jian Heng.
"That's good, go and see what is recorded in this thing!" Jian Heng pouted at the drone.
Zhang Jialiang immediately agreed with a smile on his face when he heard it: "Okay!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Jialiang said again: "Boss, there won't be anything unhealthy in it, right?"
"If it's not healthy, it was recorded by someone else, and it has nothing to do with me. Why are you laughing, it's from a cow thief!" Jian Heng raised his foot and kicked the guy.
Zhang Jialiang ran away in a hurry. When he reached the door, he took the drone and the remote control, and ran away laughing and disappearing.
Jian Heng prepared his things here, turned off the lights in the warehouse, and then put the saddle cloth on the shelf on his shoulders and walked towards the dormitory.
Jian Heng arrived at the door of the dormitory, and found that it was strange today. There was still a person standing at his door. Looking closely, it was none other than Blanca.
Seeing her, Jian Heng was very curious, and when he was some distance away, he asked, "Why aren't you sleeping so late?"
Blanca was startled when she heard someone's voice suddenly. When she found out that it was Jian Heng, a smile appeared on her face, she reached out and raised her hand, and shook the wine in her hand at Jian Heng.
"My body is sore and I can't sleep, I want to find you a few drinks!"
