50. Drive the cattle to the new meadows and go!

As a rancher, there are many skills to learn, and Emperor Wu has a high level of understanding, which is a fact recognized by the big guys.

Because it takes half a month for the pasture to mature in South Australia, now letting the cattle and sheep gnaw is tantamount to a hammer deal, these guys will not pity the jade, they are eager to dig up the roots of the modified grass and eat it, so now every morning to drive the cattle to a land outside the ranch to graze, and then rush back to the cowshed in the afternoon for the night.

Ten miles northwest of the Nanao Pastures, on the edge of a cliff, the green meadows were terra nullius, but the road leading to them was rough, through a pile of rocky dirt and across the upper reaches of the Huaxi River, which was a great test for the calves.

It is not strictly a good grazing meadow, but there is only natural pasture growing well within a radius of thirty miles, and the rest of the place is uninhabited wilderness except for other pastures.

Australia in mid-November is late spring, and due to its proximity to the equator, November to April is the dry season, and heavy rains like the one when Emperor Wu first arrived in Australia will hardly be encountered again.

The Huaxi River is the only river in Pelican Town and the only source of drinking water for many ranches, and once the Huaxi River dries up, the town's water problem will be infinitely magnified. In December, ranchers had to drive trucks to a mountain stream 90 miles away to fetch water, and at least a third of their livestock did not make it to the rainy season four months later.

Early in the morning, Emperor Wu summoned Mr. and Mrs. Frank and Turks to the pasture, where the grass in the suburbs had been eaten and the cattle needed to be driven to the meadow ten miles away.

The ranch could not be left unattended, so adhering to the principle of women first, Emperor Wu asked Mrs. Rachel to stay in the ranch to take care of the sheep and leave the tired work to the men.

Emperor Wu and Uncle Frank rode horses, Tex drove a bird of prey, Tex originally had a strong desire to ride a horse and drive cattle, he thought that was what a real cowboy should do, but the group could not lack pickups, and there were many supplies to pull, such as cooking utensils, tents, etc.

And in the event of a sudden situation, the pickup is easier to deal with than the horse, such as the cattle suddenly go crazy and run around without listening to the command, and driving to chase the herd is much more flexible than riding a horse. A few months ago, a cowboy was chasing a herd on horseback and was hit into a river by a mad Angus cow and a man.

"BOSS, I THINK YOU'VE JUST LEARNED TO RIDE A HORSE, SO IT'S SAFER FOR YOU TO FLY A RAPTOR. Turks said helplessly.

Emperor Wu understood his thoughts, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Uncle Frank is an old cowboy, he will definitely ride a horse, and you and I will come back when the time comes." ”

This is an expedient measure, if you really drive the herd to run, Emperor Wu will not change it.

"Okay boss, although you touched your nose when you just spoke. ”

At six o'clock, the sun had just risen, and the Nanao ranch had been busy for an hour, with three people, two horses and a cart, and fifty cattle ready to go.

"Xiaoqiang, take our real guys and hunt game at noon!" Emperor Wu shouted at Tex.

Turks was standing by the barn checking on the calf, "Are you sure you want to bring a musket? You don't have a gun license." ”

"I'm pretty sure!" Wu Di gestured with an OK gesture, and the Australian police ran to the desert to check whether a small rancher was legally armed with a gun, unless it was a broken head.

Tex threw his gun backpack in the trunk, walked to the front of the car, and pointed to the open sunroof of the raptor with his hands on his hips and said, "Boss, you need a Gatling here, you know, the kangaroo runs fast, and only Gatling's bullets can catch up." ”

"Gatling?, blue light?" replied Emperor Wu casually.

"What?" Tex didn't understand, blue light Gatling is a joke circulating on the domestic Internet, of course he doesn't understand it.

"The society is strong, bring the crossbow too, in case the musket doesn't work, we still have a backhand, by the way, bring Schrödinger, it's a rabbit catcher. Emperor Wu said while arranging the saddle that their greatest pleasure every day was to joke with each other.

"Society?" said Tex and shook his head, he really didn't understand it at all.

Kitten Schrödinger found out about the movement of the ranch early in the morning, and stood at the door waiting for the order after pulling Xiang, and saw the owner waving his hand at it, and immediately meowed and ran towards the bird of prey, its bounce ability was good, and a big jump easily got on the roof of the raptor, and as a result, it fell from the open skylight, and the guy was too excited.

The koalas in the eucalyptus tree are still cute, hugging the trunk for a daily life, occasionally glancing at the busy crowd below, and then continuing to sleep.

Uncle Frank was indispensable for his smoking gun, bringing a full tin can of tobacco and a bottle of liquor from home, which he said reminded him of his transition to Mr. Hans.

At that time, the grass in the South Australian pasture was very slow, and in order to protect the pasture, the cattle were herded to the pasture at the foot of the Blue Mountains several times a year, passing through three ranches, all of which would open their doors in a friendly manner, including Benjamin of the Straw Hat Ranch.

Leaving in the morning and not returning until the sun goes down, lunch had to be settled outside, the Raptor had a barbecue grill and a kettle in the trunk, and Tex carried a large bucket of water in the car, which was enough to solve the drinking water problem for the three of them for a whole day, and there were two cases of Budweiser beer in the Raptor beer.

Rachel watched the three men move large bags to the car, and said with some anger: "You are going to graze, obviously going out for a picnic and leaving my old woman at home."

Frank hurried to give his wife a sweet kiss, and he didn't want her to come with him, because then he wouldn't be able to drink and smoke as much as he wanted.

"I've stocked up on food in the fridge, and today you can throw away the work at hand and enjoy it. Emperor Wu comforted Rachel.

Rachel hugged Emperor Wu, "I'm just talking, let me ride on a horse to drive the cattle, I'd rather stay in the pasture and watch TV." ”

For the final inspection before departure, Tex, who is proficient in cars, gives the Raptor a comprehensive medical examination, and it is not interesting to break down in the barren mountains and mountains.

It's still yesterday's outfit, Wu Di riding on the back of a 7K has become a real young cowboy, and his exposure to the sun in the past few days has made his complexion sunburned, looking healthy and full of energy.

Emperor Wu once asked himself a hundred times, Xiao Xianrou or a muscular man? There is no doubt that he will not be killed as an ornament like Xiao Xianrou, his goal is to become a cowboy with a sense of power.

"White Flower" became Turks' exclusive mount, and Uncle Frank had a lot of affection for the red horse, and he named it "Old Smoker", which was a reminder to quit smoking or a sign of his sworn stance.

"Smoke less, have you forgotten how Lily persuaded you?" Rachel turned on the nagging mode, and turned to Emperor Wu who was immediately in high spirits and said: "You are his boss, you should persuade him more, I don't want to take care of a dead old man who is struggling to breathe next year." ”

Emperor Wu can only laugh, these two people will quarrel every day, but there is no doubt about one thing, that is, they love each other deeply.

"Alright buddies, get ready to go! Uncle Frank, please lead the way, it's a piece of cake for you to drive the cattle!" Emperor Wu commanded on the back of a black horse 7K.

Turks whistled excitedly, and the whistle was really 6. Schrödinger sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and the front cover of the Raptor was its VIP seat, no matter how bumpy the car was, it would not move at all.

Frank waved his smoking gun at his wife, and Rachel opened the wooden fence of the cowshed and drove fifty cows out!

"Boss, go to the right side of these guys!Xiaoqiang, you drive the car to their left!I'll lead the way!" Frank shouted with a whip in hand.

Emperor Wu is already proficient in controlling 7K, and with the help of Shennong's knowledge, he can always find the excitement of 7K.

For a time the pasture was dusty, and fifty cows were running out with a low roar.

"Good luck all the way!" Rachel shouted as she stood in the courtyard toward the departing procession.
