Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 135 Denim powder

Jim listened to Colter talking about hunting wolves. Although they were all Americans, Jim grew up in photography. He went on a vacation or something. The kind that looks particularly tall. Let's just say that on Jim's childhood vacations, Frank either took him to a museum or was on his way there.

   Therefore, Jim has not been exposed to too much American cowboy culture. The United States has such a long history, and there are no antiques worth mentioning.

  Kolter is also a guy who can talk. He talked about his wolf hunting, like a storyteller.

  Jim’s listening mood was written all over his face. When Colter said it was dangerous, he was worried. It seemed that not only Chinese tourists were full of yearning for cowboys, but also many Americans were fans of cowboys.

   Like Jim now.

Jian Heng knows how to hunt wolves. It is far less thrilling than what Colter said. It is nothing more than tolerating the strange smell and some strange bugs in the mountains. If you are bitten by them, your fun will be When you get older, what you need to fight wolves is actually patience.

  But Jian Heng saw that Jim and He Ye were quite involved in listening. It was just these two people, and even He Ye's bodyguard showed curious eyes from time to time. So Jian Heng couldn't bear to spoil their interest, so he just let Colt talk nonsense.

  Jane Heng endured it, but Old Walsh couldn't bear it any longer. Even if it was his son who was bragging, he decided not to bear it anymore, because the old man felt that if he could bear it any longer, he would definitely vomit.

So the old Walsh cleared his throat, interrupted his bragging son Colt, and said directly to He Ye and the two: "The wolf hunting is not as complicated as he said, there are only three steps in total. The first step is to find out where the wolf is, the second is to aim the gun at the wolf's head, and the third is to pull the trigger and kill it!".

  A good story is no longer interesting at the end of the old Walsh. I have to say that the old guy is really first-class when it comes to talking about disappointment.

  Jim shook his head: "Your story is no longer a story, it's just a piece of Jane's news!"

   "Besides the taste of steak, all other tastes of life on the ranch can be classified into one: the smell of cow dung!" Old Walsh followed up with a more disappointing remark.

  Old Walsh didn't like these city boys with "greasy hair and flour noodles" very much, so after taking a look at Jim, the mustache at the corner of his mouth began to be a little picky.

  Seeing his expression, Jian Heng knew that the old man was a little upset.

   "By the way, when will your family drive the cattle to the winter pasture? If it's later, I'll go back to China to deal with some things." Jian Heng immediately changed the topic to the real thing.

Old Walsh replied: "Isn't your ranch very busy now? I heard that another group of people will come! I thought you wouldn't have time, so I was going to invite others, but now is the season of transition. Please, I just made a verbal appointment with a cowboy who is free before winter, if you come over, then I can ask Catherine to borrow someone, so that I can move first."

Lao Wo originally wanted to ask Jian Heng to help, but he heard that the group of people in front of Jian Heng had not left and would stay for another month, so he stopped thinking about it and asked others to help, so as not to delay them from making a lot of money. .

   Old Walsh still has this awareness.

   "There is no conflict between the two! I can help!" Jian Heng said very simply.

  Hearing what Jian Heng said, Old Walsh immediately became happy. The problem that had been a headache seemed to have a way all of a sudden. It is no wonder that the old man is not happy.

   I thought about it for a while. Old Walsh asked: "We can move whenever you are free. I thought you wouldn't be able to spare time. Now that you have time, Catherine has something to do these days. If you don’t want to move, then we’d better drive the cattle to the winter pasture before Catherine’s cattle move.”

   "Driving cattle? Where?..."

  Jim heard the conversation between Old Walsh and Jian Heng, and then asked Colt who was stabbed by his father.

  Colt then briefly told Jim about the transition of the family's cattle this year. As for what transition was, the kid started bragging again.

  As soon as he heard that the transition was so interesting, so western movie-like, Jim felt that his chance to experience the life of a cowboy had come.

   Turned his head to Jian Heng and asked: "Why don't we go into the mountains and go to the transition with them? Can you experience the upright cowboy life?"

   After speaking, he turned his head and looked at He Ye. It seemed that he hoped to get He Ye's support.

  Colt was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. He hoped that Jian Heng could help, but he was definitely not in the mood to bring three rookies to the scene. That guy was too tiring.

   It doesn’t matter to Jian Heng, of course, it’s best to do the two things of playing with him and transitioning together, so that he can go back to China earlier.

  Now when he thinks of his hometown, Jian Heng's heart is a little restless.

"You guys? Can you drive cattle? Don't talk about driving cattle, can you ride horses?" The mustache on Old Walsh's mouth was raised again. It was obvious that the old man didn't want to bring a few burdens to the scene, but he Knowing that he has no chance to refuse, because Jian Heng is the most lacking cowboy who can drive cattle at this time.

   "I can't drive cattle, but I can ride horses well!" Jim said happily.

  Old Walsh asked again: "What's the point of riding for more than ten minutes? Is it okay to sit on horseback for a whole day?"

   "That's a bit difficult!" Jim didn't try to be brave, and directly confessed to the old man.

   "Then it's not called being able to ride a horse!" Old Walsh replied firmly.

  Jim looked at Jian Heng at this moment, and Jian Heng looked at He Ye again.

  He Ye smiled and spread his hands, and said calmly, "Look at what I am doing, it doesn't matter where I go!"

Seeing that He Ye had no problem, Jim was looking forward to experiencing the transition life, so Jian Heng could only say to Old Walsh: "I'll take care of them on the way, you don't have to worry about them, it's not the past transition It will take more than a month to go to the field, and now it only takes six days to go back and forth. Tell me, how quickly can you get ready?"

   "If you have no problem, we can start at noon tomorrow at the earliest." Old Walsh said to Jian Heng: "If you can settle now, I will go to Catherine to borrow someone."

   "Let's put it this way." Jian Heng felt that it was reasonable to hurry up and get things done quickly, and go home early.

  He Ye said at this time: "We can also help you on the way. My horse rides okay, but I don't know anything about driving cattle."

  Old Walsh smiled at He Ye, and his attitude towards He Ye was obviously better.

These old men especially don't like men who talk too much. In the past ten minutes or so, Jim has not only talked a lot, but also is familiar with himself. It was not pleasing to the eye, let alone Jim, an outsider, and the old man naturally attributed it to the talkative party who failed to succeed and failed.

  As for He Ye, he stood aside without saying a word. In the past ten minutes, he has spoken less than three sentences, and he seems to be quite well-mannered. Compared with Jim, he naturally fell into the eyes of Old Walsh first.

   "Then at noon tomorrow, let's see what we have to bring?" Jian Heng said.

  Old Walsh heard what Jian Heng said, took off the hat from the top of his head, scratched the gray hair on his forehead that was pressed by the hat and lay on the scalp, and began to think in his heart.

   While calculating, he muttered in his own mouth: "Sleeping bags, preferably tents, simple toiletries, all of which can be decomposed..."

   Chutu talked a lot to himself, but Jian Heng didn't hear anything new.

For Jian Heng, camping is not a new thing. When he was on the ranch before, Jian Heng followed him around and naturally knew what to bring, but this time he was helping people to move around. I don’t know if there is any on his side. It is necessary to bring some things that are not so commonly used, such as medicines and the like.

   "Just bring enough of your basic daily necessities!" Old Walsh said at the end that he was a little annoyed, so he simply summed it up in one sentence of daily necessities without counting.

   I thought about it for a while: "It's best to prepare a tent and something to protect against the cold. We have no problem, but your friend and the three of them may not be able to withstand the cold along the way!"

  Jian Heng hummed to express his agreement, and suddenly another question appeared in his mind, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Is there a car accompanying me this time?"

"You mean off-road motorcycles? I'm not prepared here. First, it's not easy to use. Second, it's uncomfortable to ride when you climb over the Earth Bear Mountain. The place is more than 20 kilometers away. Riding a motorcycle..." said the old man. Before Walsh finished speaking, he shook his head first.

  Tuxiong Mountain Jian Heng has a little impression. There are almost no mountain roads there, just random rocks, one by one, and it is indeed uncomfortable to use a motorcycle. Riding on that thing is not as good as riding a horse.

   "Then forget it?" Jian Heng asked after thinking for a while.

  Old Walsh nodded: "Well, it doesn't work!"

   "Then it's settled? I'll take the three of them to your ranch to find you at noon tomorrow." Seeing that everything was almost finalized, Jian Heng opened his mouth and said.

   "Okay!" Old Walsh dropped a sentence.

  Since the matter has been discussed to this point, Old Walsh didn't dare to delay any longer. He ran directly to his own pasture and started to gather cattle and make preliminary preparations.

  Jian Heng's side is more carefree, the three of them circled the pasture for a short time, took two fat rabbits, and a fat swan that Jim killed, and threw these things to Zhao Changshan from the back door of the restaurant.
