Cowboy Faried checked the sheepfold before returning to the hut to rest, and was woken up by the walkie-talkie not long after he fell asleep. Fared, who was in a daze, heard Xiao Ping say on the walkie-talkie that he was alone near the northwest border of the ranch, and he was immediately frightened by the drowsiness.

The northwest corner of the ranch is the area where the cougars are most active, and the boss is there alone at this time, which is obviously a joke with his own life.

Although Xiao Ping is not often seen at Lillian's Ranch, the cowboys love this kind and generous boss. Knowing that Xiao Ping was in danger, Fareed quickly woke up the other two cowboys, and the three of them prepared everything as fast as they could, and rushed out of the garage in the best off-road vehicle on the ranch.

The off-road vehicle roared all the way to where Xiao Ping was, and it didn't take long to reach the northwest corner of the ranch. With the help of the light of the off-road vehicle, Fareed, who had been worried all the way, finally saw the boss standing not far in front, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Rick, park." Fareed asked the cowboy who was driving to park the car next to Xiao Ping, and as soon as he opened the door, he complained loudly: "Boss, what are you doing here?" You don't have to run so far for a walk, do you? Ian has just been attacked by a cougar, and we don't want to wake up early tomorrow morning to hear that you've been eaten! ”

Zhilu Dao Lao Mei generally spoke more directly, and Farred also cared about himself, Xiao Ping naturally didn't care about his rudeness, but smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I came out to kill that cougar to avenge Ian." ”

"No kidding, that cougar is cunning." Faried jumped out of the car and said, "Last week, Mark took us all over the ranch and couldn't kill this guy. You're alone in the middle of the night looking for a cougar. It's just suicide! ”

Fared was a bit of a rambling man, and wanted to babble on and on to tell Xiao Ping how dangerous it was to do so. Just when Fareed was nagging. Webb, another cowboy in the car, noticed it and shouted at him, "Faried." Without further ado, what's in the grass over there? I look like an animal carcass! ”

"It's even worse." Fared shook his head and said to Xiao Ping: "Boss, you are more likely to be attacked if you stay near the carcasses of animals, isn't that how Ian is during the day......"

Faried chattered as he walked towards the carcass, and there were four people near the SUV, all with guns, so he wasn't too worried about safety.

Fared walked up to the carcass of the animal, looked at it twice, and then suddenly exclaimed, "My God, this ...... It's a cougar! ”

As soon as I heard Farred mention the cougar. The other two cowboys were also excited, and hurriedly ran over to see what was going on. Soon they let out a burst of exclamations, apparently surprised.

"God, it's a cougar."

"Look at its tail, it's a broken tail!"

"How did Broken Tail die? Could it be that Ian hit it in the afternoon? ”

From the cowboys' words, it seemed that this cougar still had a name, and Xiao Ping couldn't help but ask curiously: "Do you know this cougar?" ”

It's the Broken Tail, the guy who's been harassing the ranch lately. The most talkative Farred introduced to Xiao Ping: "You see that the end of its tail is curved, and it should have been pinched by hunters' predators, which is its biggest feature. Ian said that the tail that attacked him in the afternoon was also broken! ”

Xiao Ping really didn't pay attention to this before, but now he realized that the end of the cougar's tail was really unnaturally bent. For Xiao Ping, it is undoubtedly a good thing that the cougar has this trait, at least it can make everyone believe that the cougar who harassed the ranch for a while has indeed been killed. In the future, cowboys will no longer have to worry about their work.

While Fared explains the origin of the name "Broken Tail" to Xiao Ping, two other cowboys are checking the body of the cougar with a flashlight.

Webb soon found out and excitedly told the others: "There are no traces of gunshot wounds on the body. There are a lot of bitten tooth marks. The fatal wound was in the throat, and this guy's throat was bitten by something! ”

Webb's words surprised the cowboys even more. Farred said curiously, "How is this possible, there is no animal in Texas that is the opponent of a cougar." What kind of animal can bite and break a tail? ”

Webb and the other cowboy shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know the answer to their question. Only Xiao Ping knew it, raised his hand and said lightly: "Okay, in fact, it was my dog who bit the broken tail to death!" ”

In a town like Wharton, news spreads very quickly. By the afternoon of the next day, the news that the severed tail had been bitten to death by the shepherd dogs of Lillian's Ranch had become known.

There were two very different reactions to the news.

Some people are convinced that this is true. Because it is said that the three shepherd dogs that bit and killed the severed tail were brought by Xiao Ping from China. Since Xiao Ping, known as "Kung Fu Xiao", has Chinese kung fu, it seems reasonable that he brought a particularly powerful sheepdog, what is the big deal to bite a cougar to death?

People who hold this view are basically Xiao Ping's brainless fans. They believe that "Kung Fu Xiao" can do almost anything, and that training a sheepdog that can bite a cougar to death is just a matter of effort.

Others are convinced that it is a rumor. They presented all sorts of scientific evidence that three sheepdogs couldn't fight a cougar. The so-called severed tail was bitten to death, either by the people of Lillian's ranch, or by the unknown animal in the ranch, more terrible and ferocious than the cougar, and it was this animal that bit the severed tail.

In fact, Xiao Ping also considered that some people would think so, so he took the initiative to admit that his dog bit and broke his tail. If cowboys are to suspect that there are more ferocious beasts in the pasture than the cougar, who will dare to work in the future? If it weren't for the cowboys on the ranch from panicking, Xiao Ping would never admit that his dog had killed the cougar.

The incident even attracted official attention, with forensic experts from the county police department and zoology professors at state universities rushing to study the wounds on the cougar's body and the relationship between Xiao Ping's three "sheepdogs."

After a full day of urgent research, the zoology professor first confirmed that the wounds on the cougar's body were indeed left by canines. Immediately afterwards, the forensic expert also announced that the tooth marks on the body of the cougar were exactly the same as the teeth of the three sheepdogs on Lilian's ranch. In other words, the cougar was indeed bitten to death by three dogs.

After this conclusion came out, the question of the cougars in the ranch came to an end. However, because of the proud record of hunting the severed tail, the three sheepdogs at Lilian's Ranch have become the stars of the town, and all attention has been turned to them. (To be continued.) )
