Dividing line *******************
Seeing the rejuvenated little Susan, Wang Hao could finally rest assured, and he called Su Jing while the little witch was playing tricks on the soup dumplings, wanting the savior to come over quickly.
Leaning against the back door of the kitchen, through the window, you can see the turquoise grassland outside the ranch bathed in golden sunlight. The endless green grass is like a blanket of felt, and there are countless colorful flowers blooming on it, like the stars in the sky, and like the falling flowers in the water, when the wind passes, the grass waves turn lightly, the flowers shine, and the scenery is particularly charming.
The weather conditions are so good, Wang Hao smiled slightly, he knew what projects he could play tonight, but unfortunately Su Jing was not there, otherwise it would be a romantic date.
In a short time, as the sun continued to set in the west, the loud barks of the sheepdogs became more and more distinct, and the barks of the Merino sheep here became more noisy. The living quarters of the ranch suddenly changed from quiet to noisy, and Pete and Neil rode their horses and flicked their whips to drive the cloud-like flock back to their huts.
Luna, on the other hand, sits proudly on horseback like a queen, only she is followed by a large pile of alpacas with her hair cut short. The alpacas walked leisurely towards their quarters, stopping to rub their necks against each other as if they were their own show. Because the place where the alpacas live has a very strong taste. Therefore, the distance from the living area is relatively far, so as not to disturb your own life.
At this time, Katie was already busy in the kitchen. She had to prepare a delicious and generous dinner for everyone on the ranch, which was quite a challenge for her. Although she is nominally the steward of the ranch. But more than that, it's chefs and veterinarians.
Wang Hao saw that little Susan was happily watching the TV show, so he walked out of the living area and came to the stable with great confidence. At this time, the ranch has begun to blow the wind, and the cool breeze slowly takes the summer heat away from the grassland, which makes people feel relaxed. Taking a deep breath of the grassy air, Wang Hao took the saddle out of the cabinet and placed it on the cheese.
Cheese had been outside for a long time today, but was locked in the stable at the hottest time, so it was a special thrill to be able to go out and walk around. So it was particularly obedient to let Wang Hao turn over on his back, and then moved forward with light steps.
Wang Hao didn't come out casually, he had something to do. He rode cheese and trotted towards the emu garden. He needed to see if the half-sized emus needed to be fed. At the same time, he was worried that some small predator would harm them, after all, the area was too vast to send people to guard it.
Thankfully, he has so many animal friends to help, first of all, Xiao Jin, a golden eagle that is absolutely impossible to have in Australia, has no natural predators, and can help protect these emus from wild dogs, foxes and even weasels. And the Ahri, who is in the period of discoloration of their fur, is not a simple thing, not to mention that these energetic emus also have excellent fighting ability in their own right, and their beaks are very powerful.
Riding on horseback, the world is so open that it seems that even his internal organs no longer exist. It is said to be grassland, but in fact, there are some small hills, but they all become gentle slopes. With the undulations of the terrain, the pasture is a shallow bowl for a while, and a large plate for a while. The lush and fertile pastures glow golden in the sun. As the terrain changed and the cheese trotted in small steps, the golden ribbon of light fluttered across the grass. Like the sparkling waves of the water, and like the reflection on a large satin.
The grass is not deep, just past the horseshoe of cheese. But the rare flatness is like an invisible hand cutting with push scissors. In addition to comparing it to a large carpet. Wang Hao could no longer find an accurate statement. But this carpet is just too big, except for the sky. There's only one left of it; Except for the blue of the sky, which is its green; Except for the clouds in the sky, there are only cattle and sheep on this carpet.
At this time, the houses, streets, cars, horses, pedestrians, and landscapes that I am used to seeing have all become vague memories of the previous life. Looking at the endless grassland and the infinite blue sky, Wang Hao suddenly felt that the four walls of his body had suddenly dispersed, and all his troubles, along with all his ambitions and ideals, had disappeared without a trace.
The cheese walked slowly through the pasture at a brisk pace, and nothing could be heard except the sound of horses' hooves rubbing against the grass. A man and a horse seem to have broken into an alien world, where there are only colors and no sounds. The grass doesn't move at all, so you can't imagine the movement of the wind. Cattle and sheep are moving slowly, and from time to time they raise their heads to look at them a few times, or flick their tails, like objects in a silent movie, fish in a glass tank, or shadows in the sun. It was as if there was no air, and the world around me was so empty.
The energetic emus were running and playing in the bushes in the woods, but when they saw Wang Hao coming, they immediately gathered around, as if expecting their masters to feed. But Wang Hao felt that they had eaten enough, so he didn't take out the breadcrumbs from the space ring.
He stepped forward to check the drinking fountain in the shack, and was not surprised to find that there was already a little dust and feathers in the drinking fountain. It's strange that these guys who often fight don't compete for water, and Wang Hao cleaned the drinking fountain and then put it in and fixed it.
"It's a pity that I haven't learned the dust removal technique yet, otherwise a small spell would have become clean in the past." He muttered to himself, now he is trying to learn the experience and skills that the Holy Branch has taught him, but due to the limitation of the amount of magic in his body, there has not been much progress, and it is still unknown when he will be able to evolve from a trainee druid to a full-fledged druid.
So Wang Hao was thinking about whether he should plant oak trees on all the desolate hills in the pasture to see if these oak trees would help him grow his magic power.
When I returned to the ranch living quarters, the sun had completely sunk, and only the burning clouds on the horizon were constantly changing their appearance, and the sounds and bright lights in the ranch showed that the day was about to pass.
Looking at the dinner made by Katie, Wang Hao still felt that he was not used to it, everything here was good, but the food was not so satisfying. Wang Hao's own home-cooked food series has not been recognized by the rest of the cowboys, so what to eat is a sad question.
After eating casually, Wang Hao took a flashlight, put a thin coat on Susan and walked towards the open place outside, today is the night of fireflies.
Due to the open terrain and high altitude, the sky is often clear at night, and there are shooting stars crossing the starry sky from time to time, which can be seen very clearly. In the middle of the night, put on a coat and lie comfortably on the grass to see the mysterious and vast starry sky. The starry prairie night sky, shooting stars streak across the sky from time to time, and fireflies surround you, not to mention how beautiful this feeling is.
"Susan, do you know what a firefly is?" Wang Hao was a little curious, he didn't know if the children now had seen these elves in the summer night.
Susan, on the other hand, shook her head in confusion, she was bouncing up and down on the grass, and the fireflies were just a mysterious thing to her only a few years old.
Wang Hao smiled and shook his head, he quietly used the aura that exuded magical power, and then tried to spread this aura as far as possible, so as to attract the arrival of fireflies. This is the result of his practice, which has attracted many flies, bees and even other insects.
The darkness engulfed the surrounding qiē, and the dots of green became more and more. A large number of fireflies slowly fly over, like a brilliant ribbon, they communicate with each other in a unique way, or decorate the perched branches into a Christmas tree, or chase an irreproducible path of love.
Except for fireflies, there is no light around, but it clearly sets off the galaxy in the night sky. No matter how clean the air is, the city's light source makes it impossible for the eye to see the stars so clearly, and there is only a chance to see the stars in the real wilderness without "light pollution". This time the chances are quite good, and you can even clearly distinguish the Milky Way.
Susan looked curiously at the dots of light around her, and she stretched out her palm to grab one, but the firefly was extremely agile enough to dodge. On the other side, the meatball-like soup dumplings also jumped and jumped, as if playing a game with fireflies.
A little bit of silvery white, smart light, floating in the grass. …… In the confused night, all the colors were lost, and some were only swarthy. The bright light passed through and flickered, one bright spot went out, and another flew over, only in the grass above the stream, casting the bright spot into the reflected water, and the water also flashed with small bright spots, affecting the reckless reflection of the grass on both sides. Blue fireflies fluttered in the grass, like stars falling from the sky.
Wang Hao was also the first time to see so many fireflies gathered together, he slowly stood up and used his mobile phone to shoot such a shocking scene: a little girl in a white dress was jumping happily surrounded by fireflies, the innocent smile on her face seemed to be like an angel, and a cute kitten next to her was also fluttering and playing. These fireflies are not afraid of people at all, but gather and disperse, just like putting a pair of flickering wings on the little girl, and she is completely an angel.
Spreading out his palm to let a firefly stop on his palm, Wang Hao looked at these darlings in the dark and laughed softly. After he transmitted the video just now to Su Jing, who was far away in Sydney, he received a message from there at this time.
I didn't expect Su Jing to eat her little niece's vinegar, she replied and said, "You must take me to see these fireflies tomorrow, the shooting is so beautiful, I can't bear to take my eyes off!" (To be continued......)
