Chapter 253: Fierce Wild Horses
White's words made the charming atmosphere at the moment disappear, and Xiao Ping hurriedly asked loudly: "How did he get hurt? Does it matter?")" White replied anxiously: "It seems to have a broken leg!"
Xiao Ping jumped into the truck with quick movements, and then said to Jessica, "White and I will take Johnson to the hospital, you can inform Mr. Damon." ”
Dimon is the contractor's boss, and he happened to be away today, so he didn't expect this to happen. Jessica nodded at Xiao Ping and reminded him and White loudly: "Drive carefully and try to avoid bumps!"
The injured Johnson was lying in the back of the car, and for the man with a broken bone, the bumpy ride to the hospital was a crime. Jessica's words alerted Xiao Ping, and he and White switched seats and personally drove Johnson to the hospital.
At first, White was not at ease to let Xiao Ping drive, but he soon found that Kung Fu Xiao drove fast and steadily, and his skills were much better than his own, so he gradually put his mind at ease. Lilian's ranch was relatively remote, and the nearest hospital was forty-five minutes away, so Xiao Ping let White lead the way and drove quickly towards the hospital.
After driving along the road for a while, Xiao Ping, who felt a little bored, couldn't help but ask White: "There are still wild horses here?"
White is also a local and is well aware of the situation around Wharton, so he immediately nodded, "Of course." There are several herds of wild horses in the Stone Mountains area, and the land you bought has not been visited for a long time, and has been used as your own territory by a herd of wild horses. ”
This statement makes sense, but Xiao Ping still asked with some doubts: "Aren't Mustang afraid of people? How could Johnson be kicked and injured?"
"Wild horses in general are afraid of people, right. White smiled bitterly: "But Johnson's luck is not good, he ran into the black devil!"
Xiao Ping couldn't help but laugh and said, "Is this a horror movie?" How could a mustang have such a name?"
White didn't think there was anything funny about this, and said to Xiao Ping seriously: "You don't know, that wild horse is indeed worthy of this name." It was the leader of the nearby herd of wild horses, and the townspeople would stay away when they encountered it. That horse's xìng is so strong that whoever gets in its way will rush up and kick you over. Johnson's luck was so bad this time that he ran into the black devil while erecting a stake. It turned out to be unlucky!"
Xiao Ping said curiously: "Since this horse is so fierce, why don't you kill it, I think you all have guns." ”
White looked at Xiao Ping with the eyes of a criminal. After a long while, he whispered: "That's a protected wild animal, and you will be imprisoned for random killing!"
Xiao Ping was reminded by White that he remembered that he was in the United States right now. \You can't just shoot wild animals. No wonder that wild horse has the notoriety of "devil", and can still live freely in this land.
It didn't take long for the truck to arrive at the hospital, and after a series of tests, doctors determined that Johnson only had a fractured left leg, but otherwise there was no major problem, and he would be healed after a few months of rest.
The contractor's boss, Damon, also arrived quickly, and when he heard that his workers were kicked and injured by the black devil, he also attached great importance to this matter, and said to Xiao Ping seriously: "Mr. Xiao, I regret to inform you. The construction of the guardrail is on hold for a few days. We have to get those wild horses out of the ranch first, or the wildlife conservation agencies will get us in trouble. ”
Xiao Ping knows the truth of following the customs of the locals, and since he wants to gain a foothold and develop in this land, he must abide by the laws and rules here. So he didn't force Dimon to continue the project, but nodded like a good one: "Okay." Tomorrow I will go to the pasture with the others to get the wild horses out of the herd as soon as possible. ”
With this herd of wild horses roaming the pasture, it is impossible to continue to build the guardrails of the pasture. This not only delayed the contractor's work time, but also delayed the official opening of the ranch. So the next day, not only did all of Damon's workers go out, but even Jessica and Mark joined the team to drive the horses.
To find a herd of wild horses in such a large area and drive them out of the pasture. Horses are also the best means of transportation. For these Wharton natives, horseback riding is as easy as riding a bicycle. All of them dressed up as cowboys rode their horses to the ranch. Even Jessica changed into a denim shirt and jeans, and put on a pair of riding boots, restoring the dress Xiao Ping had when he first saw her after coming to the ranch.
There was such an accident in the construction of the ranch, and Xiao Ping, as the owner of the ranch, of course could not stand idly by, and took the initiative to join everyone's team. No one will object to Xiao Ping's request, after all, he is the owner of the ranch, and no one can prohibit him from riding a horse on his own ranch, right?
However, the most realistic problem in front of Xiao Ping is that his riding skills are really not good. In fact, Xiao Ping had only ridden a horse once before, and it was the kind of old horse that he rode in the park with almost a bald tail. Now he needs to gallop across the endless pastures, and the two are not the same thing at all.
After hearing Xiao Ping talk about his horseback riding experience, everyone, including Mark, did not approve of him going with everyone. Driving wild horses is no joke, especially since the leader of the group is still a black devil. Seriously, everyone present was not sure that they would be able to come back intact, who would have the kung fu to take care of Xiao Ping?
Xiao Ping, who was full of interest, was poured cold water on everyone's head, and naturally it was difficult to hide his disappointment. Jessica, who secretly promised him, was a little unbearable, so she said to the others: "You guys go first, I'll stay and help Xiao Ping prepare the horse, and then slowly catch up with him." ”
Except for Xiao Ping, everyone thinks that Jessica said this to take care of his face. Anyway, in the eyes of everyone, Xiao Ping and Jessica can't help much, so naturally they won't have any objections to Jessica's arrangement. Mark repeatedly told the two men to be careful, and then led the others on their horses to look for the wild horses.
Jessica took out a horse from the stable, and comforted Xiao Ping with a smile while chewing the horse's head and saddle: "Lucy is the most honest horse in the ranch, you don't have to worry, it promises not to fall you off." ”
All the horses in the ranch used to belong to Jessica's father, and she was naturally familiar with the spleen of each horse. This mare named Lucy has a surprisingly good temper, and even if she holds her hind legs, she won't kick anyone, which is the most suitable for a novice like Xiao Ping to ride.
