For the next two or three days, Ju'an soaked in the ranch and Thomas Lawrence, the two old men prepared the fence of the new ranch, and the news that the new ranch was going to build a fence soon spread in the town, and some people who lived by doing odd jobs became happy. The clever cowboys began to inquire when the ranch was looking for someone to find a place on the ranch, and the salary of the ranch was too tempting.

Signed on the paper, a check was sent out at the same time, more than 20,000 acres of land went to the name of the Xishui River Ranch, and then Ju'an's work was to write a check, the ranch to build a fence is the wood that is needed, not to mention Lewis Town, several small timber mills in nearby towns have begun to produce Ju'an fences, the bowl mouth of the thick stakes with ochre-colored bark and then antiseptic materials, half of which will be driven into the ground, and a slightly smaller circle of horizontal fences will be erected between each stake, At least a few months' work was provided to five or six small processing plants.

There are also new cowboy dormitories have also begun to be built, this time there is no cowboy help, but invited a small construction company to build a house for the community, a total of seventeen or eighteen people have good craftsmanship, as long as the new community in Ju'an is a wooden house, it is basically from the hands of a few people, and the quality is trustworthy.

Early in the morning, the place where Ju'an started work was not far from his new home, and he drove a pickup truck directly to the construction site, and today he will lay the first pile, and Thomas and Lawrence will be present, of course, Ju'an, the rancher, is indispensable.

When it came to the place where the construction started, piles of wooden fences had been piled up in the new place, several pile drivers had been put in place, and all the construction workers had arrived, not only these but also some uninvited people had also arrived at the edge of the new ranch, but they were all carrying slogans, and there were also those who came to oppose Ju'an's purchase of new land and rescued wild horses or something, well, there were some indispensable: "Let wild horses have a home!" ”。“ Don't rob our land" slogan with a horse's head painted next to it. Of course, the sensational ones are "Save us!" "We're going extinct in this country!" And so on a series of various slogans. Sixty or seventy people in their twenties and thirties don't know the organizations that have run out there to protect this and that, anyway, there are a lot of such groups here in the United States, and they don't understand everything at all to make way for economic development, and the kind of people who have a particularly poor national consciousness, and there are millions of wild horses in the United States, to say the least, Ju An is stunned and does not see what point is going to be extinct.

Seeing Ju'an get off the pickup truck and say something to the workers, the protesters recognized it, and they were sure that the black-haired man was the rancher, and the shouts were a little louder, and there were even people attacking. Ju Anli ignored them, and glanced at the boundary of the pasture, where there was a white spot every three meters away, and this was the place where the wooden stakes were driven.

Ju An glanced at the protesters standing on the road, and walked straight in front of Thomas and Lawrence: "How are you ready, if everything is ready, let's start work!" ”。

Lawrence nodded and replied, "It's all right, just waiting for you!" ”。 Then he waved to the workers, and the workers stood up one by one in pairs and erected piles to the white spots, and several tracked pile drivers had already started, stretching out the big rams, touch! Touch! Touch! The sound sounded, and the wooden stake that the worker had stabilized stretched out into the ground little by little, and in less than two minutes, a wooden stake was driven into the ground, exposed to a height of about one meter and three meters.

Next is the second pile, and Thomas and Lawrence are ready to take advantage of the high temperature to drive the pile down, if it is snowy and want to drive the pile into the frozen ground, it will be troublesome.

The voices of the protesters on the side of the road grew louder and louder, and Lawrence glanced at Juan and turned to Juan and said, "Ann! Don't worry they're just a bunch of idiots! ”。

Juan smiled, looked at the demonstrators standing honestly outside the ranch and said to Lawrence, "Do I need to care about them?" You see, they also know the law, standing outside my place to demonstrate, let them shout, or how can they reflect the country's cooking. I don't know if the water is enough, by the way, I should notify the little girls in the town and let them come over to sell drinks, it is estimated that they will be thirsty soon after shouting for a long time, this is really a good business! ”。

Lawrence and Thomas, the two old cowboys, laughed when they heard Ju An's words: "Are you still worried that the demonstrators are thirsty!. ”。

"No one from the town will come to protest against me," Ju An said after a moment's thought, looking at the crowd of protesters.

Thomas glanced at the crowd: "No! They are all fresh faces, and they are probably all well-fed riffraff from the city, and whoever has this idle effort in the town has come here to work." The old man smiled and pointed to the workers, and then pursed his lips, the most unaccustomed to the old cowboys is these people who don't work all day and interfere with others: "Protest against killing sheep today, protest against killing cattle tomorrow, what do these idiots eat if they don't kill cattle and sheep, it's better to find some work to do than anything else."

Ju An smiled, continued to watch the pile driver drive the wooden piles, and after a while, he heard the sound of the police car, looked up and saw that two police cars in the town were coming, and when they arrived not far away, they stopped on the side of the road, and seven or eight policemen came down, and the policemen got out of the car and didn't move, just stood next to the car and watched the crowd of demonstrators.

The sheriff of the town walked up to Ju'an and shook his hand, and said, "How is it?" They didn't make trouble."

"Nope! It's all good," Ju An said with a smile, and then glanced at the crowd of demonstrators, and estimated that he was a little tired from shouting, and his voice was a lot quieter: "Why did you come here, this is for fear of causing conflict?" ”。

"I was afraid that the demonstrators would be irrational, so I rushed into the ranch and was beaten up by the cowboys, and I rushed over as soon as I got a call from the Bozeman police station," the sheriff said with a smile.

Ju An thought for a moment and said, "All from Bozeman?" It's not close, these guys are really powerful! ”。

"These guys have been protesting for a year, and the whole of Montana is almost all over them, and last year they went to Helena to protest against the ranch acquisition, and they were beaten up by a bunch of hot-tempered cowboys when they rushed into someone's ranch, and you see that they are good at school, and there were some media reports at the beginning, and now you see that even the media are not interested," the sheriff said with a smile.

"Rushing into someone else's ranch, these guys are really daring!" Thomas looked at it and said, "That's when you have a good temper, and if you have a bad temper, you will shoot directly." After speaking, he patted the revolver hanging from his waist, and Ju An found that the old man had brought the gun over.

Ju An hurriedly said to the old man: "Come in and beat them out, don't use your gun!" ”。 Although it is legally allowed to shoot people who enter private territory without the permission of the owner, but because the protest is bloody and bloody after all, just look at the small bodies of those protesters, it is estimated that the two tied together are not the opponents of these perennial working cowboys, compared to marksmanship, every little cowboy plays with his father when he is five or six years old, and these city boys are more than eight streets behind.

"Just scare, just shoot or something," Thomas said with a laugh.

Several people chatted with the sheriff for a while, and the sheriff returned to the side of the police car, and a group of policemen leaned on the car to stare at the demonstrative crowd, lazily conserving their strength in the spirit of not moving the enemy.

After a while, the wooden stakes were laid, and Ju'an and his party also moved and continued to drive piles, and the demonstrators also moved together, and the entire group of people Hula moved a distance of seven or eight hundred meters at once.

It was until noon, Juan and Thomas returned home together, Dinah and Lawrence's wife prepared lunch together, Dinah stewed a pot of beef soup, fried fried fried rice for more than a dozen people, put shredded meat and green beans or something, of course, there were some bread cowboys who liked to eat what they chose, Juan and Thomas got the food into the car, Teddy was lying at the door boring rolling from time to time, Dinah's little lion slept, Nini went to school and made Teddy a little bored, seeing Juan and Thomas going out, Dead or alive with the car to follow.

Juan had no choice but to let Teddy climb into the car, and before the door could be closed, Hans and Jinbao also ran over and got into the body. With these three guys, to the place where the workers worked, the three animals got out of the car in one go, and everyone in the town knew that Ju'an had a brown bear or something that was very friendly to people, and he had never hurt anyone, and he was not too scared to see Teddy.

Teddy was a little happy to see more people outside, and stood up and waved to the protesters outside, while Hans and Jinbao were lying in the grass, staring at the crowd outside.

A big brown bear made the whole demonstrative crowd suddenly lose their voice, Teddy waved and sat down, for the crowd did not respond to his own slight dissatisfaction, the people in the new community saw that Teddy was touching his head, and the little baby rushed up directly, the group of people outside was not enthusiastic at all, yelled at the crowd twice, stood in front of the stake and wanted to shoot the stake, fortunately Ju'an found it and yelled at Teddy: "Teddy!" Don't move the stakes".

Teddy's slap down, now close to three hundred kilograms of weight is not to look at playing, if you use force, at least you can crack the stake, Ju An walked to Teddy's side and touched his head and said: "This stake can't be played, just play here don't scare others." After saying that, he continued to walk to the pickup truck for lunch.

Hans and Jinbao saw Teddy lazily lying down in the sun, and also got out of the grass, two mountain lions weighing nearly a hundred kilograms, which completely petrified the crowd, and a group of people outside opened their mouths and couldn't make a sound, watching the three animals licking each other's fur.

The three guys cleaned up each other and lay on the grass, Teddy was lying on his back with his head facing the crowd, the two little beans looked at each other from time to time, Hans and Jinbao were much more alert, raising their heads and flicking their tails to watch the demonstrators.

While eating, Thomas said to Ju An: "These three are much more useful than those policemen, and they were calmed down as soon as they appeared."

Lawrence said with a smile: "If you see Teddy in the wild, it is estimated that most people will be so scared that they will pee their pants, and their performance will be good" After speaking, he looked at the crowd and laughed.
