Chapter 102: The Flute
It took two people more than 40 minutes to ride from the zoo in the suburbs to Orange Town, and the main bean sprouts rode slowly, slowly swallowing all the way, and was despised several times by the fat tiger in Ji An's back bag.
"Is it okay for you to turn its ugly face to the front?" Ji An turned the fat tiger in a different direction and put it in his bag, Lu Xiaoming rode behind, and when he looked up, he saw the fat tiger sticking out his tongue at him, and he also thought that he was riding slowly, barking twice from time to time, and the bean sprouts complained unpleasantly.
"I don't, it's convenient for the fat tiger to see the scenery. ”
"Wang!"
"Your uncle......"
…………
John's Farm is right next to the foot of the hill, and a large meadow is fenced off at the edge of the woods.
Messi found Ji An from afar, four little short legs digging the grass at a high frequency, two big ears fell back against the wind, and ran towards Ji An who was riding along the dirt road. Behind it is Leo, who can't walk fast.
Ji An parked the car, put down the fat tiger, squatted down and stroked the little short leg who came to ask An to lick his face, and then walked to Leo, who was still on the road.
Caressing the old McCorgi, it came up a little more energetically, and licked the king twice.
Touching the dog's head, Ji An stood up, old John stood up with a red nose, and walked enthusiastically.
After a while, the old man laughed and left to be busy with things, Ji An rubbed his shoulder that was hurt by him, and looked at Lu Xiaoming in confusion: "What's the situation with this old man?"
The old man always had a stinky face two days ago, but today he will change when he says that he will change, and the two of them are confused.
Lu Xiaoming excused himself to go to the orchard to help, but Ji An didn't bother to care about him, took the children to the ranch, and continued to teach the little short legs.
The irascible ram and its subjects lowered their heads and gnawed on the grass, Ji An touched his head outside the fence from time to time to kill, snap his fingers, or give a snack, more than an hour later, Mary called everyone to lunch, Messi's true obedience has reached the full value, Ji An plans to ask Mary about the whistle when he rides in the afternoon.
Speaking of whistles, Ji An thought of the shepherd whistle. After lunch, he walked alone to the meadow and summoned the flute.
Just as long as a cigarette, the texture is not gold or stone, and it is warm and moist, Ji An played with it for a while, and said in his heart: "I don't know if I can use it as a shepherd whistle." ”
He picked up the flute, and when the smoke was in his mouth, he blew it gently, and the sound of the flute spread out in all directions.
The sound of the flute reached a short distance away, and the long wooden table in the center of the farm was almost inaudible, and no one at the table responded.
But outside of the human hearing frequency, in the mountain forest next to the ranch fence, a large bird that happened to forage for food and passed by tilted its tail and glided sideways in a "U" shaped bend, flying towards the source of the sound.
Ji An knew that blowing the flute would summon a bird within a radius of 1 kilometer nearby, as for what kind of bird it was, he didn't know, anyway, even if he was summoned, he wouldn't be able to keep it now.
After a while, a small black dot appeared above the mountain forest, and when he got closer, Ji An saw that the wingspan of the bird was terrifying, and the head and neck were very ugly.
"I'll go!" found that it was a vulture, and Ji An was shocked.
Soon the vulture was getting closer and closer, and Ji An didn't know if it would fly down, and was just about to call the children, so as not to be taken away by the eagle.
"Phew!"
He was startled by the loud noise, and when he turned around, he saw Old John holding a double-barreled shotgun, not aiming, and firing a warning shot into the air, still scolding and scolding in his mouth, which translates to the effect that "blind your bird's eyes, dare to go to Lao Tzu's farm to do something?"
Double-barreled shotgun bullets can be fired at the same time, or they can be opened separately, the first shot scared the vulture, but did not panic, slowly and leisurely turned, and then the second shot sounded, the strong wind brought out by the bullet almost grazed its wings, the ugly big bird calmed down, and shouted hard to fan the big wings for an emergency stop, quickly turned back and slipped away, panicked and scattered a ground eagle/hairy ......
"Hahahaha......" Satisfied with the vulture's embarrassed appearance, Old John laughed arrogantly with his gun.
Ji An pouted at the old man.
Old John opened the double-barreled shotgun from the trigger, took out two thick cartridge cases, carried the gun on his shoulder, walked to Ji An, and said, "You can't be better than me when you play with guns, right?"
Ji An had nothing to say about this, he dared to touch the gun in Huaguo, and when he was ready, he was invited in to drink tea.
Old John stood in front of Ji An, put the two cold thick shells in his hand into his pocket, and said: "In the past, I saw the vultures that came to steal the sheep cubs on the farm, but now I don't allow it, I can only scare them away."
How's it going? Marksmanship is okay, right? Just grazing his body and flying by. ”
Ignoring the old man's own boasting, Ji An was not interested in guns, and said, "When is Mary's class today?"
Old John: "Why? Want to ride a horse?"
Wait a minute, put the gun and I'll take you. ”
Ji An was still a little unable to accept that the old man said that he would change his face, and he was suspicious: "Did he take medicine today?"
Soon, on the vacant grassland nearby, the old man rode a common jujube red horse in the rice country, and Ji An still rode on Jenny's back, and the two walked side by side in a circle.
Leo kept his distance and followed slowly, and he couldn't go fast, and Fat Tiger and Messi circled around the two white horses, calling twice from time to time. Seeing that the jujube red horse next to him was emotionally unstable because of the harassment of the strange dog, Ji An turned around and motioned for the children to wait outside the fence.
"You can train dogs, can you play dog hunting?" said Old John.
Now it was Ji An's turn, took out his mobile phone, and flipped out the photo of the 300-pound wild boar.
Old John looked at it and raised his eyebrows: "It's not bad, so you can hunt, are you interested in going to the club with me on the weekend?"
I play with guns, and a few of our old fellows have good dog hunters, and Harrison, whom you saw yesterday, has a few good pit hounds. ”
Hearing this, Ji An looked at it unexpectedly, and saw that the old man was not joking, but he also wanted to see how the people of Xia Mi fought wild boars, and said that he wanted to go together.
Xu felt that the two had a friendship now, and then, the old man kept harassing Ji An like a child who had not grown up, pestering him to ask why the same bait only bit Ji An when he went into the water, and did not bite him.
Perfunctory old man, Ji An remembered the matter of shepherd's whistle and whistle.
The local shepherd whistle in California is homemade by the rancher and has the only sound, so Ji An plans to use the flute on the fat tiger and get another shepherd whistle for Messi.
Old John thought of one out and said, "You wait for me for a while." "Rode back to the big house at a trot.
Soon, he brought a metal shepherd's whistle that looked relatively flat, and said: "This is leo's before, it is not used now, it can just be used by Messi."
You want to teach Macy's whistle?"
Seeing Ji An nodded, Old John took out a small notebook: "This is the whistle used by Mary before, if you want to teach, use this." Save Mary the trouble of learning again. ”
Ji An took it and looked at it, and recorded the instructions represented by these various long and short whistles, just right, he didn't have to make it up himself, so he put away the small notebook.
