At this time of chatting and boasting, Old Topher had already taken a helicopter to patrol around the area of Xiaoquan Mountain, but he had never found any trace of the wolves.

Occasionally, I saw a group of moving figures flickering in the mountains and forests, and when I looked over, they were not wolves, but deer or other wild things.

"Where are these wolves hiding? If you can't find a wolf pack, the cowboys you hire will always be a safety hazard even if they go up the mountain to cut wood! Old Topher pouted.

Wolves? Plough the whole mountain and you won't be able to find it! The county lord was secretly smug in her heart, but her face still showed a puzzled look with Old Tofher's words, "Or, ask those people on the ground." Have you spotted any wolves? ”

Old Tofo nodded, took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket, and handed it to Pei Pei, "You come and ask, I'll turn around and check over there." ”

Pei Pei took the walkie-talkie and pretended to ask if the scattered search crowd on the ground had found any signs of wolves.

The answer, of course, is no!

Pei Pei shrugged at Old Topher, returned the walkie-talkie to Old Topher, and said, "Do you have enough fuel in the tank?" Why don't we lower down a little bit and re-patrol the whole mountain? ”

Old Topher looked at the oil gauge and replied, "Then try to make another round." After saying that, he pushed the lever, and the height of the helicopter from the ground became lower and lower.

Forty minutes later, Old Tofer looked at the remaining amount of fuel displayed on the fuel gauge with regret, and said to Pei Pei: "This amount of fuel is almost consumed, and we have to go back, we will go back to Xiaoquan Villa first, and then we can only wait for the news from those who searched on the ground." ”

Pei Pei smiled secretly and then made a regretful expression, and said, "Okay, that's the only way." ”

A few minutes later, the helicopter landed on the flat ground in front of Koizumi Villa.

As the host, Pei Pei invited Old Topher to visit the villa and give some pointers.

The previous owner, as a former super-rich, bought Xiaoquan Mountain and spent money to build such a luxurious manor at the foot of the mountain as a resort villa, the whole manor construction style and interior decoration are completely different from the rustic family style of the ranchers of the old Tofo, there is a large stone carved fountain at the entrance of the manor, and the old Tofo is stunned while watching.

In addition to the Baroque style of the main house, there is also a two-story fairytale-style villa near the lakeside pier, which echoes the architectural style of the main house. The roof design of this small cottage is particularly pleasing to the county lord's wife, and from a distance it looks like a witch's hat.

The inside of the manor's walls was clinging to the wall and there was a long row of houses, and old Topfer thought it was a worker's house, but when he opened the door, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and then retreated. It turns out that such a long row of houses is actually a garage, and it is estimated that the original owner always invites a large group of friends to come over to hunt, so he has to build such a large row of garages to park all vehicles.

At the other end, the wall was clinging to the wall and there was a long row of houses, which were also empty inside, but when they were opened, they were stables.

In addition to the lawn in front of the house and behind the house, there are also flower beds, and there is a beautiful glass flower house next to the flower garden closest to the lake.

It would take more than twenty minutes just to walk around the entire interior of the manor. After a rough circle, old Topher asked Peipei, where are the workers' room and the tool room?

The county lord scratched her head, she had only stayed for two nights, and such a large manor was just a rough inspection when she first arrived.

She thought about it again and again, where the workers' room and the tool room were, and ah—it really didn't seem to be!

There is no worker's room, but there are several servants' rooms, and I haven't counted the specific Pei Pei, but I remember that on both sides of the ground floor of the main house building, there are doors to connect to the main house.

Then the county lord looked up at the tall, splendid, luxurious and beautiful main house that can be called art, hehe, tool room? Does this thing have anything to do with this manor?

To put it bluntly, the original owner purely regarded this land as a place for vacation and entertainment, Pei Pei suddenly remembered that nothing was planted on the 800 acres of land outside the manor, and the original lawn was overgrown with weeds because no one took care of it, and then looked at the long row of stables, Pei Pei guessed that the original owner probably used the 800 acres of grass as Happy Valley.

Pei Pei sighed and replied to Old Topher, "No, there is only a maid's room here, and in the tool room, there is a utility room on the first floor, and there are some commonly used tools in it." ”

Old Tofo frowned and said, "Let's go into the utility room of the main house and see what tools are there." ”

Pei Pei nodded, and led Old Topher all the way back to the living room of the main house.

First of all, I opened all the rooms on the first floor and looked at them, there were quite a few maid's rooms, four on each side, and the utility room seemed to be not small, but there were some small tools such as wrenches and grills in it.

Old Tofer carefully examined all the tools in the utility room, and Pei Pei said hello and left the utility room, went into the kitchen to boil a pot of coffee, and then called Old Toof out of the utility room with a tray, and walked back to the living room together.

Old Topher washed his hands and sat back on the sofa in the living room, poured himself a cup of coffee, added a sugar and a pack of creamer, and slowly scooped it with a small spoon, then picked up the coffee cup, and only after taking a sip did he speak: "The worker's room is not poured, there are so many maid's rooms on this floor, I am not afraid that the workers have no place to live, but the tool room must be there, and I have looked at all the tools in the utility room, they are all small tools, there are too many missing, I will give you a list in a while, you can go to the hardware store in the town to make up for it." ”

After taking another sip of coffee, Old Topher put down the cup, looked at Peipei and said: "Some large tools can't be stuffed into your utility room, if you rebuild a tool room, not to mention that you have to pay an extra house tax if you delay the time, I will give you a building yì, you can renovate the garage, and divide half of the area to make a tool room, so that you don't have to destroy the overall architectural style." ”

That's a good idea! Pei Pei gladly accepted the proposal.

Next, while drinking coffee, Pei Pei learned from old Tofo, inquired about the rainy season and winter climate here, chatted and chatted, and before she knew it, it was lunchtime.

Pei Pei remembered that there was still a lot of raw beef in the space, so she invited Old Topher to lunch.

Old Tofer nodded, and went to the utility room with Pei Pei to move the barbecue grill out of the main house and to the lawn outside the house, and Pei Pei pretended to go back to the house to take out the beef from the kitchen (space), handed it to Old Tofo and asked, "How do the people on the mountain solve lunch?" Do you want to inform them all to come back? ”

Old Topher thought for a moment, and replied, "They all have guns with them, and they can hunt in the mountains for lunch, but I think I'd better contact them first and ask them what their situation is." ”

After saying that, Old Topher picked up his phone and dialed it.

After a while, Old Topher hung up the phone and replied to Pei Pei: "They said that they have not found any signs of wolves, which is really strange! I heard that even the size of the deer herd was much smaller, so I finally killed two deer and prepared to find a water source to roast the deer. I told them all to come down now, and we discussed what to do next. ”

Ha! Yesterday, I commanded Wei Lang and his men to hunt dozens of deer, and many of the deer on the mountain are strange. Pei Pei lowered her head and snickered.

Old Topher had already set up the grill and was about to make a fire, "Pell, you have all the spices in the kitchen, and by the way, bring out a bottle of red wine, and Uncle Topher will make you my best red wine grilled steak." ”

Pei Pei hurriedly ran back to the main house, there was no shortage of spices in the kitchen, she had already brought it to Wal-Mart in Bozeman City before she came, but she didn't buy red wine, but fortunately there was an underground wine cellar in this house, Pei Pei remembered that the original owner seemed to have left a lot of red wine when she first checked, so Pei Pei hurriedly went down to the wine cellar, took two bottles and handed them to Old Topher after leaving the house

By the time Pei Pei had eaten her fourth steak, the doorbell finally rang, and the searchers on the hill came down, with two cowboys each carrying two deer on their shoulders.

So at noon, everyone ate barbecue and drank red wine together, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

Old Topher discussed the wolf trail with everyone while eating, and after discussing it, everyone decided to go up the mountain again tomorrow, Pei Pei listened on the sidelines, and was anxious, she made an appointment with the cowboys in the town to start work the day after tomorrow, she lowered her head and thought about it, and had an idea!

"Ahem—everyone be quiet, listen to me first." Pei Pei stood up, "I just heard from everyone that there seems to be a shortage of deer in the mountains, and I have a guess that it is because there are fewer deer, so the wolves have migrated back to the Rocky Mountains due to lack of food?" After all, it's late autumn, and if the wolves are going to survive the winter, there will only be more prey in the depths of the Rocky Mountains. ”

As soon as Pei Pei's words came out, everyone thought silently.

After a while, old Topher spoke: "What Miss Peer said just now also has some truth, but tomorrow we still have to go up the mountain once, so let's do it, I won't drive the helicopter back today, just put it in Xiaoquan Villa, tomorrow I will bring a few more barrels of oil, the fuel tank is not enough fuel, when the time comes, I will drive the helicopter to patrol the whole mountain inside and out, and if we find the wolves, we will encircle and suppress them together, and if we can't find the wolves, Miss Pel's guess is correct." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and after setting the meeting time for tomorrow, everyone chatted while barbecue, and the lunch barbecue lasted until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, which was the end of the unfinished business, and Old Topher also led the big guy to say goodbye to Peipei.
