Chapter 46: Protested

Shi Lei returned to the ranch with a lot of training equipment, in front of the gate of the ranch, Shi Lei looked at a few guys holding signs and shouting something, but Shi Lei didn't care, and drove the car back to the main house without stopping, anyway, there was a vineyard in the middle, and what the people at the door shouted had no effect on Shi Lei.

Put the car away, Shi Lei and Hanks separated for the time being. It's time for lunch, so I'll leave the matter of setting up the venue until the afternoon.

Shi Lei was cooking lunch in the main room while watching TV boringly, and then found that one of the contents of the TV report actually mentioned Stone Ranch.

It turned out that the powerful reporters didn't know where to know about the coyotes gathering into a pack and then attacking the ranch at night, Shi Lei even saw the picture of the dog pack and the coyote pack fighting that should have been taken by a cowboy with his mobile phone.

Among them, the most conspicuous table is undoubtedly Shi Lei's pets, and most of the cameras are aimed at them, recording their vigorous tables in great detail, so that the audience can see them at a glance. There is even a director who adds passionate music, which makes the whole scene suddenly feel like a Hollywood blockbuster.

After the video was broadcast, a lively discussion began in the news studio. The so-called experts have a similar view to Shi Lei, who believe that the wildfire in Los Angeles caused a rare gathering of large groups of coyotes to launch an attack on the relatively weakly protected stone pasture. Of course, there are also some words that are indispensable in the future, in short, a neutral attitude.

The hosts and guests on both sides were divided into two factions. One faction believes that private property is sacrosanct, and it is normal to take necessary measures to protect one's legitimate property without violating the law, and this behavior should not be blamed, and some of them also expressed their love for the ranch dogs, especially Shi Lei's pets, which are simply eager, and there is no lack of yearning in the words.

The other faction thinks that Shi Lei's behavior is very cruel, and since he has stopped the coyote pack's sneak attack, he should drive them away instead of killing them all.

I don't know where all this extra sympathy comes from, why don't you want to think about the livestock on the farms that have been victimized, and how many of them have died, all of them are newly born cubs. Of course, the coyotes who do this are either the first to be bitten to death by the dogs, or they are chased to death by angry herds.

Once again, the expert duly expressed his opinion, saying that coyotes are opportunists, but so many coyotes gathering together in a short period of time will destroy the local ecological balance, and they are vengeful animals, if this measure is not taken, the loss of pastures will be greater and greater.

The people on both sides can't open the glue, and Shi Lei just watched it with relish. Anyway, no matter how much they quarreled, it wouldn't affect Shi Lei, and he didn't do anything illegal.

Shi Lei has a very good impression of this expert, every time this guy speaks, he talks about Shi Lei's heart, which is the same as Shi Lei's thoughts. Well, seeing that you are so good, if I watch your show in the future, I will definitely scold you less.

Shi Lei also understands why there are protesters at the door today, and he is a group of hopeless idealists, and he doesn't look at how much damage the coyote has caused to Southern California and how many casualties it has caused, just in this boring way to show his sympathy, and to stand on the moral high ground to condemn others, why don't you think about the ranch.

The people of the United States just like to go out to march, protest, petition or something, go to the park to read books naked at every turn, and go to everyone to parade naked or something, for this kind of person, Shi Lei just wants to say, come to me, but as long as the beauty. Shi Lei didn't mind holding a camera to greet the enthusiastic protesters.

Of course, the people of the United States not only like to go into battle in a vacuum, but also like to go to the White House website to post some boring petitions, for example, the two groups of people directly started scolding on the White House website for the question of whether sweet bean brain is authentic or salted bean brain.

Ahem, it's far away. Shi Lei finally understood about the demonstration, but he was still a little unimpressed. Anyway, they can only hold signs outside the ranch and make some meaningless yelling, and when their enthusiasm goes down in a few days, they will probably disperse on their own. Anyway, the private territory is sacrosanct, and they are all far away from Shi Lei.

Besides, Shi Lei will spend a long time in training after that, the so-called out of sight and out of mind, it's a big deal not to go to the beach to run in the morning, anyway, Shi Lei has no animals that need to be modified recently. Thinking like this, Shi Lei no longer paid attention to this matter.

After lunch, Shi Lei met Hanks again and prepared to set up the shooting range. However, Shi Lei first drove the pickup truck to the barn where the sundries were stored, and put the two flying saucer target launchers into it.

Hanks means that Shi Lei doesn't need to shoot skeet targets yet, so he can wait until Shi Lei's shotgun shooting skills are decent before they come in handy.

Of course, Shi Lei's clothes and plastic steel knives have already been moved to the main room and put away.

By the way, Hanks served in the position of an accurate shooter, who could be turned into an assault if necessary. So the three weapons he is most familiar with happen to be precision shooting rifles, shotguns and pistols, and he can also pick up a sniper rifle to be a sniper if necessary. The few guns that Shi Lei chose happened to be guys that Hanks was familiar with.

However, the most important thing for Shi Lei at present is to learn the tactical shooting of the pistol. After all, Shi Lei is now only sure of the accuracy and speed of pistol shooting, and all he needs to learn is tactical movements and the like.

And shotgun and sniper gun shooting is a big subject, let alone to the point of combat use, there are really too many things to learn, so I won't think about it in a short time.

After moving the skeet target launcher, the two got on the pickup truck again and drove to the mountaintop shooting range.

Shi Lei and Hanks unloaded all the targets and other things together. Then it was a busy time, Shi Lei helped Hanks arrange the positions of each target together, some were lined up in a row, some were in front of one and one behind only a little bit of the body behind the back, and some were swinging behind the obstacles, and their bodies were hidden from time to time.

Shi Lei can probably understand the reasons for the setting of various targets, such as some indicate that the bandits have taken hostages, and some are shooting with a probe behind obstacles, which are obviously related to various situations of actual combat shooting.

After the two of them had spent hours setting up the venue, it was time for dinner. The two packed up their things and drove back to the front of the main room in a pickup truck.

After a while, Sanchez, who was in charge of patrolling the ranch today, found Shi Lei.

"Hi, Stone. Today, when I was patrolling around the ranch, I saw a lot of guys jumping and screaming on the edge of the fence with signs. Some of the guys still came with tents. When I came back, they had already set up their tent and were having a picnic there. I really don't know if they're here for a so-called protest or if they're here for an outing. Sanchez shook his head and said.

Sanchez still speaks with a strong sense of Spanish, and even occasionally pops up a few Spanish words. Fortunately, Shi Lei knew that he would have to use Spanish sooner or later after he came to the ranch, so he began to learn Spanish as soon as he moved in, and now he can adapt to the Spanish style English of the cowboys.

The reason why I have been learning Spanish is partly because most of the cowboys on the ranch are of Mexican descent, and on the other hand, there are many Spanish speakers on Santa Barbara's side.

Shi Lei has been learning Spanish with Hanks or Laura, and occasionally has some simple communication with Garcia and them in Spanish. Laura is a linguistic genius, that's what everyone knows. Hanks, on the other hand, is the need to carry out tasks in the army.

We all know that special forces need to master several foreign languages, and the guys Hanks dealt with during his time in the army were all African warlords or pirates, terrorist organizations in the Arab world, and of course, all kinds of people in South America.

The language spoken in these places is less English, but French, Spanish and Arabic are more practical. Since coming to Santa Barbara, and especially working with the Mexican cowboys, Hanks' Spanish is certainly not bad.

"Oh? Did they get into the ranch's territory? They didn't do anything out of the ordinary other than protest, did they? Shi Lei asked.

"Nope. Private territories are inviolable, and they all know it. They were just shouting slogans from the edge of the pasture, and they seemed to shout merrily only when I passed by, and they seemed to be joking there. It looks like they're really thinking of it as a camping activity. Sanchez shook his head again, seemingly speechless at the protesters' irresponsible attitude.

"Since they didn't enter the ranch's territory to cause damage, it doesn't affect us, so we don't have to worry about them. Let them play for a few days, and when the heat passes, they will disperse on their own. I'm mainly afraid that some radical guys will do something irrational. In that case, you sue the other cowboys on patrol to try not to get into a conflict with them, and if there is anything going on, tell me or Hanks. ”

Shi Lei was relieved when he heard that they didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, but let's tell the cowboys, after all, they are all impulsive guys, maybe they will be provoked by others and then start to do it, then the problem will be troublesome.

"Okay, stone. I'll sue SΓΉ Gonzalez for theirs. Then I'll go back if there's nothing else, my wife and children are waiting for me at home. Sanchez left with a happy face. In addition to Garcia's family, most of the bear children belong to the Sanchez family, these two guys who can give birth.

Shi Lei went back to the house, and after dinner, he washed away the fatigue of the day, and then logged on to his chat account again. First of all, I put the photos of the venue arranged today into the space, and then I also uploaded the photos of the newly bought guns from various angles.

Then, Shi Lei came to the group of classmates as usual. I saw that the group is now boiling unparalleledly. The center of the discussion is the video of the big battle between the dog pack and the coyote pack uploaded by Shi Lei.

Without exception, the students gave a high degree of affirmation to Shi Lei's dogs, and among them, the boss Jiang Kun shouted the most. This is also understandable, after all, his German black wolf is also a ranch product, and in disguise, it can be regarded as improving the value of his dog.

However, it can also be heard that Jiang Kun really likes his smart dog, one person and one dog cooperate very tacitly, one action, one look, the black wolf can understand his meaning, so he is also grateful to Shi Lei.

The first concern is, of course, Shi Lei's safety, and he was relieved to learn that Shi Lei was completely fine, but his father said that he had seen this incident from any news column in China, and also said that there were many protesters gathered around the ranch and asked Shi Lei how the situation was.

Shi Lei certainly reassured his family that the protesters would soon disperse. Let's have a tender and sweet chat with Laura for a while, and talk about the longing for a day of not seeing each other for three autumns. Although it was a little tiring, the day was still happy.
