51. The conundrum of crossing the river

"Hey BOSS, do you want to take a break in the car!"

The driving Turks couldn't bear it anymore.

Emperor Wu waved his hand at him with a whip in his hand, this guy was in a hurry.

“xia!xia!”

They kept herding the stragglers back into the group, kicking up a cloud of dust wherever they went, and from a distance it looked like a giant armored vehicle advancing.

The Qinchuan black cow, which was bought for 15,000 Australian dollars, walked at the front of the line, and it seemed to be very appealing, and the other cows obediently followed behind its ass.

Frank only needs to keep the Black Bull under control, which saves a lot of trouble.

Wu Di and Tex were on either side of the line to prevent the cows from escaping, and under normal circumstances, there should be a cowboy at the back to keep the calves from falling behind.

The first time he drove the cattle, Emperor Wu was a little excited, and the 7K under his crotch was as excited as him, and he raised his head and howled from time to time.

Emperor Wu took a deep breath of fresh air, the smell was very strange, the grass was fresh mixed with oxberry, and it was a little irritating.

A mile beyond the confines of the South Australian Pastures leads to a wasteland overgrown with unknown weeds and brightly coloured mushrooms.

"Calves are very curious, don't let them eat poisonous mushrooms. Frank instructed as he lit a cigarette gun.

Emperor Wu stared at the herd closely, if a calf was attracted by the poisonous mushrooms on the ground, then he would unceremoniously go up and give it a whip, and he couldn't be too polite to these newcomers, otherwise it would be difficult to discipline him when he became an adult.

The herd is moving forward in an orderly manner under the leadership of Uncle Frank, and the Qinchuan Black Bull is a restless guy, running in front of Frank from time to time to show off, waiting for it is not praise, but only a whip.

"BOSS, we need to speed up, it seems that these calves are fully adapted. Frank asked.

Emperor Wu shouted: "Of course!"

After receiving the promise, Uncle Frank clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the "old smoker" hissed and quickened his pace.

“xia!xia!”

He held the whip and swung it at the black bull, signaling it to accelerate.

The whole team gradually changed from jogging to fast running, and then to running.

This was a big test for Emperor Wu and Tex, forty calves did not walk at the same frequency as adult cows, and one calf was knocked to the ground by an adult cow who followed behind because he was running slowly, which was a common thing.

Emperor Wu drove the 7K forward to check the situation, the hind hooves of the calf had been rubbed off a layer of skin and were bleeding, this injury was nothing to them.

"In the last century, Australia was still in the era of great development, when there was no convenient transportation, and ranchers had to drive their hard-earned cattle to the place where they were harvested, and at least 10 percent of them would die on the way!" Frank said with a smile as he breathed out a large smoke ring.

He continued: "Before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, during World War II, the ranchers in the interior would drive their cattle to Darwin because the army there needed a large supply of beef, and their cattle stretched halfway across Australia!"

Emperor Wu responded, "That's a chore, you need to camp outside at night!"

"Yes, yes, my grandfather used to go to Darwin Harbour, and the day before they arrived, the Son of a Son of Bone RB had blown it to the ground!" Frank was emotional.

During World War II, poor Darwin Harbor was bombed more than a hundred times in a year by the Japanese army, and although Darwin was not as important as Pearl Harbor, the number of bombs used to bomb Darwin had already exceeded the bombs used in the air raid on Pearl Harbor.

Turks heard the conversation in the Raptor and he also complained, "Hey, BOSS! Do you know the former Australian Prime Minister Abbott! It's that stupid X! He even praised the Japanese army for having a so-called sense of honor, saying that their combat readiness is very high!"

Frank and Turks each cursed.

Soon, the South Australian army came to the bank of the Huaxi River, their cattle need to cross from the shallows with the lowest water level, this shoal spans more than 300 meters, today is not very lucky, the water is turbulent, the Huaxi River is crystal clear in the past, but today it is very turbid, like a chemical plant that discharges sewage upstream, this is the only way, you must find a way to cross it.

Emperor Wu asked Frank to park the cattle five hundred meters away from the shore and rode over to check the situation.

Frank also came up, and Emperor Wu tightened the reins, allowing 7K to slowly pace to the middle of the river, back to the shore, and measured the height of 7K's front hooves that were wetted by the water, the deepest part of the shoal was about 80 centimeters high.

"Uncle Frank, are you really the shoal? Emperor Wu asked.

Frank's expression was firm, he pointed to a big tree nearby and said, "It must be here, I have an impression of this large eucalyptus tree, I don't know why the water level is so high today, usually the highest time is only 50 centimeters." ”

Adult cattle are not a big problem, eleven adult cows are about 130 cm tall, but the calves are only 100 cm or even lower, which is no problem from the data, but cattle are animals on all fours, which means that the calf's nose will soak in the water, and it is easy to choke on the water when passing through the middle of the river.

Everyone was worried, and when they saw Schrödinger on the front cover of the raptor, Emperor Wu suddenly came to pay attention, and he shouted at Tex with a smile: "Brother, I'm going to trouble you now!"

He came up with a stupid idea, the Raptor could probably hold three calves in its trunk, and pull the calves to the river bank in batches.

Frank expressed concern about the idea, as the Ford Raptor has an official wading figure of 80 centimeters, which is exactly the same as the current water level in the Huaxi River, but carrying three calves will inevitably reduce the wading height.

Emperor Wu weighed the pros and cons and decided to take this risk, he wanted to gamble on Ford's automobile technology.

Emperor Wu planned to drive himself, and Tex smiled confidently.

"Do you know who drove the first Humvee to Baghdad to come there?"

This is very good, Emperor Wu almost forgot his identity as a retired special forces.

The group carried the contents of the trunk to the ground, put a wooden board in the back, and led the three calves into the trunk.

Tex sat into the cab and thrashed the throttle, and the raptor roared.

"No problem. Turks took a deep breath and prepared to drive the car into the Huaxi River.

Frank drove the adult cattle into the water, and the Qinchuan black cattle were obliged to act as the vanguard, and Emperor Wu stayed on the shore to look after the remaining calves.

The raptor gradually submerged into the water, cutting the river in half like a scythe, and the huge splash rolled around the car, and the situation looked good.

As they approached the middle of the shoal, the birds of prey suddenly stopped, and the three calves behind them seemed to realize the danger and mooed.

"Xiaoqiang!what's the situation!" Emperor Wu immediately rode to the riverbank, and Uncle Frank also retreated.

I saw Tex tilt half of his head out of the car window and pat the car body with a grin, "I'm going to take a picture of Lily and let her see how capable her dad is!"

Well, only little Jontex has this psychological quality.

There was a false alarm, the birds of prey started again, and the three calves fell silent.

The adult cattle seemed to enjoy the river, slowing down as they reached the opposite bank, and were educated with a whip from Frank.
