Chapter 619: Snake Cave

Depart from Old Patton's house and head to the vicinity of the cowshed.

The cattle that had been raised for a whole year had been sold at a high price, and most of the barns were empty.

Han Xuan deliberately did not maintain an intimate relationship with cattle and sheep, because their fate was already doomed, and they would eventually be served on the table.

If you don't know the cows and sheep, you will feel much less guilty, and you will not have to worry about the Romney sheep and grass and mud horses used for shearing.

Their meat has little commercial value, and selling it for wool is the most cost-effective way.

Combined, the two are numbered at less than 5,000 and are now polycultured on heated indoor farms.

The walls are thick and the sun is shining, and the space inside is huge, and even if the heating is on 24 hours, the temperature can only be kept at about 10 degrees.

Han Xuan walked from the middle aisle and looked into the fences on both sides.

The Romney sheep, with their thick hair, are round like balls, and they feel that the temperature is quite comfortable, and they look lazy.

And the pampered alpacas still felt the cold, and seven or eight of them lay on the hay-covered ground, huddled together to keep each other warm.

The keepers were cleaning up the manure in the sheepfold and driving the alpacas away for a while, but they had no intention of getting up, and they were dead in the sheepfold not wanting to move.

The man reluctantly grabbed a handful of corn and scattered it at the door of the sheepfold to attract them, and in the hearts of the grass and mud horses, a warm grass nest was obviously more important than this, and squinted at the keeper.

If the grass mud horse can speak, it must be saying, "Who are the sheep masters? Just give this little corn, it's not enough to stuff your teeth, what are you going to do to ask for food?"

Han Xuan didn't know what the plastic film on the breeder's body, which was similar to a raincoat, was used for, but now he knew that it was to block the saliva attack of the alpaca.

The grass mud horses lack roots in their brains, and their memory is not very good, every time they see Han Xuan, they feel like they have seen it somewhere, but they can't remember it.

So his eyes are particularly confused, and with his strange long hair, he is full of joy.

Alexander, a strong man more than two meters tall, was carrying the fodder into the feeding trough, and the leaves and flowers of the dried alfalfa grass were scattered behind him.

Patting the grass clippings off his chest and walking towards Han Xuan, Alexander smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few months, they are well raised, right?"

"Well, I feel a lot fatter than in the fall, and the hair on my body has grown.

Next year, I will buy another batch of baby alpacas, and the wool production of the pasture cannot keep up with the needs of my grandmother's company.

In the past, more than 30,000 Australian Leyland sheep and Belgian blue cattle were sold at Smith Ranch, and the vacant pasture was quite large. ”

"The wool from our snowy mountain pasture is finer than other people's alpacas, and it is definitely good to use it to make clothes......

Just as Alexander was boasting about himself, Martinez pushed the door open and hurried over.

Suddenly, a cowboy laughed and scolded: "It's okay to close the door, the temperature finally rose a little, and a gust of wind blew in and disappeared, be careful of these alpacas beating you in groups."

I heard that Mieu became your girlfriend?

Congratulations, that's a good job, and I sincerely wish you not to live too miserably in the future. ”

Martinez exclaimed, "I don't have time to talk to you about this right now!"

Han Xuan!Han Xuan!A tourist has fallen into a snake cave!!"

Han Xuan was furious when he heard this, he was naturally disgusted with the appearance of the snake.

This time there are not only snakes, but also snake caves!

I immediately remembered the movie "Human Snake War" that I had seen before, which was a nightmare for snake-phobic.

"Where did we get the snake cave from in our ranch?"

"Found on the edge of Flathead Forest Park!

A couple got a hunting licence and hired two old hunters to go hunting, and when they came to the junction with the Cowleydai Ranch to the north, the man stepped on a piece of snow and fell.

The entrance to the cave was very deep, about six meters, and the person was not seriously injured, but he said that the bottom was full of frozen snakes, and it should be a red-bellied banded snake. ”

Martinez rubbed his arm, his expression contorted in pain.

Han Xuan was not much better, as soon as he heard the name, he knew why there was a snake cave.

The red-bellied banded snake often appears in the pasture, it is a poisonous snake, as soon as they see it, the cowboys will cut off its head, because this poisonous snake reproduces too fast!

The red-bellied banded snake is widely distributed in the northwestern United States and southern Canada, and usually likes to gather thousands of them to mate together.

In the fifties, more than 30,000 red-bellied strapped-banded snakes were found in a cave in eastern Montana, mating at the same time.

They come into heat several times a year, and they are naturally erosive, and it is estimated that they are reveling this autumn and are frozen by the drastically reduced temperatures.

Han Xuan once saw this kind of snake in a scientific magazine, and when it came to estrus, it would come from all directions, less than a few hundred, more than tens of thousands, and the more they gathered, the more they gathered.

Near the snow-capped mountain pastures, the number of red-bellied banded snakes is not small, and in summer and autumn, when you go to Flathead, you can often see them in the trees and rivers.

I don't know how many red-bellied strapping snakes exist in the snake cave that the man fell into, but he will definitely be frightened.

Anya is also afraid of snakes, and when she heard Martinez cry out the phrase "snake hole", she covered her ears.

If you can't hear it, you won't be annoyed, her philosophy of life is so simple.

"It's good luck. ”

Alexander brushed down in a cold sweat, and as soon as he said this, the people around him stared at him strangely, and explained: "It's really good!

If the snake is not frozen, but falls into it in the fall"

"If you go on, I'll pull out your tongue!

I would kill myself by slitting my throat right away, not wanting to stay for a second longer. ”

Han Xuan pulled Anya's clothes and trotted out, "Go and rescue people first, Alexander, you let people go to the warehouse and move a few barrels of gasoline over and a few more barrels!"

"Do you want to burn them to death? But the animal police department doesn't allow that, right?" Martinez asked him.

Han Xuan said: "I can't care so much, I don't want this kind of snake to appear in the snow mountain ranch again."

They hid underground this year, the temperature is not cold enough, and they will come back to life next year, and then so many snakes run to our ranch, and I will not come back.

The animal police station guys don't have a backache when they stand and talk, and you let them move their home to the snake cave near it?"

"Burn, absolutely burn!"

Anya was sure that she could say such a thing, which shows how unlikable the snake is......

Pull the throttle all the way to the end.

Across the hills and snowfields, in the direction of the junction of the Snow Mountain Ranch and the Kaolidai Ranch.

Before the purchase of Smith Ranch, Snow Mountain Ranch and Couldale Ranch were not adjacent to each other, and it was a large ranch with an area of more than 30,000 acres.

The owner is an old German man who has lived in the United States for a long time and bought it more than 20 years ago.

Han Xuan stayed for twelve years, only saw the old man once, he was doing business in Philadelphia, and occasionally came to escape the heat in the summer, and he rarely had contact with people, and his temper was stinky and hard, and he was very eccentric.

There are a lot of cars on the road, all running in the same place.

At this point in time, the skiers have not yet made it up the mountain, waiting for the helicopter to clear the soft snow.

It is estimated that after they got the news, they came to see the excitement, dragging their families with them, for fear of missing any wonderful pictures, and their expressions were very excited.

Keep honking the horn to let the car in front of you drive quickly...... (To be continued.) )
