The calf returned to its original position, and Zhang Chi also controlled the reins, waiting for the herd to maintain a suitable position with the herd, so as to better observe the movements of the unstable elements in the herd.

"Take a bite?"

Charles came to Zhang Chi's side and shook the flask in his hand at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi waved his hand: "Thank you, no need."

Charles took the flask back, unscrewed the lid and pulled out a crumpled disposable plastic mug from his pocket, poured a little wine out of the flask, and drank it dry.

Ha!

Charles breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Zhang Chi: "If you don't take a sip of wine on such a cold day, your body can't get warm."

Zhang Chi smiled: "I'm hot enough now."

In the process of driving cattle, people and horses almost did not stop for a moment, and now the heat on Zhang Chi's body just offset the cold air, it is not comfortable to say, but it is really not cold to say that it is cold.

Charles looked at Zhang Chi and said, "There are not many young people like you now."

Zhang Chi joked: "Really? But that's what people who have seen me say."

"Haha!" Charles laughed and said, "It's even more rare to have a sense of humor."

Charles has seen a lot of young people as old as Zhang Chi over the years, but these young people don't give him a good impression, Charles feels that the new generation in the United States is lazy and hypocritical, unwilling to work, has a lot of opinions, and can't work hard without any ability, so he still wants to live a good life, which has a hole in his brain.

If nothing else, let's talk about the current profession of cowboy, few young people have joined in, one is that they make less money, and the other is that they are tired of work, and they would rather take a paper cup to the street than work.

It's not like when they were young, they were willing to do any hard work, and they believed that as long as they worked hard, that good life would definitely come.

Through the observation of the past two days, Charles felt that Zhang Chi, a young man, was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, obviously his legs had worn out, but he still did not complain, and he still refused to do less.

This reminded him of when he was young, he was also so desperate, from a cowboy to a farmer, luck never seemed to leave his diligent self, allowing himself to drill oil wells on the farm.

"Haha" Zhang Chi also laughed.

"Is the injury on your leg alright?" Charles asked.

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "It's okay, a small injury."

For Zhang Chi, this is really a trivial matter, coming out to break into life, the uncle's experience tells him that people like himself who have no rich parents and are unwilling to work hard will not have a good life.

"Do you want to learn how to train eagles?"

Suddenly, Charles threw out the question.

Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: Why did the old man suddenly mention this matter.

But Zhang Chi was really moved, how could a man not like these birds, so Zhang Chi nodded: "I think it's quite interesting."

Charles said: "The training of eagles is also quite simple, I started training from the eaglet, which is a little bigger, and the eaglet that has just come out of the shell is bought and fed personally."

As he spoke, Charles looked at the eagle standing in front of his saddle, and the eagle's head was now covered with a leather hood, and there were a few tassels of skin on the top of the cover, as quiet as a chicken squatting on a branch.

Charles continued: "This is my sixth eagle, the previous ones have changed hands, I have raised golden withers, I have raised falcons, I have raised gray eagles, and even vultures, and this Haas eagle is the best I have ever raised."

"Have you raised so many of them?" Zhang Chi asked curiously.

Charles said: "There are many varieties, some people like big eagles, such as golden eagles, some people like small ones, such as peregrine falcons, the one I have raised has a wingspan of two meters and four golden eagles, but every time I go out, I am too tired, and my arms are a little unbearable when I am old."

Hearing this, Chi smiled.

Next, Charles and Zhang Chi talked a lot about the eagle breed.

Now Zhang Chi felt that his knowledge reserves were a little wider, he really didn't know, there were many kinds of eagles alone, he used to know two or three kinds of wither, eagle and falcon, who knew that the old man told him that there was such a thing as a buzzard.

A large number of names made Zhang Chi's head a few times bigger for a while.

"If you want to try it, I recommend using this breed to get started, it's easy to learn and easy to train," Charles said.

Zhang Chi said: "I'm just curious, and I haven't made up my mind to train eagles yet."

Charles shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said to Zhang Chi: "Life is very short in this life, there are many things to try, otherwise it is not for nothing to come to this world, young people just have to keep trying new things and find some small hobbies." I've heard that you're pretty good at raising cows, and you don't seem to be too short of money, so believe me and do whatever you want while you're young, because you don't know when bad luck will fall on you."

Zhang Chi nodded, and said in his heart: This old man still thinks a lot.

Many people Zhang Chi has seen now don't know what they want to do, what they see is three meals a day, there are no ideals, and even if they have ambitions, they have been smoothed out by life.

But Charles gave him a different feeling, the old man enjoyed life, even if it was such a hard thing as driving cattle, he could find time to feed the eagle marten or something, no matter how tired he was, he would have a smile on his face, and it seemed that he was enjoying life every moment.

At this time, a calf left the team, and Charles urged the horse to rush over, drove the calf back to the group, and turned to Zhang Chi's side.

"You have to die, pay attention to me" Charles said to Zhang Chi: "We can contact on the Internet in the future."

Zhang Chi has all social media in the United States, but he rarely uses them, because Zhang Chi almost never went to school in the United States, so he doesn't have any American friends who grew up, unlike his second brother Zhang Wu, a lot of men and women.

Paying attention to Charles, the old and the young continued to talk about the eagle.

After chatting like this, Zhang Chi found that the old man really had a lot of hobbies, such as skiing, surfing, paragliding, etc., the old man played.

It's an old playboy.

It's been a hot chat with Charles, and time seems to have passed a little faster.

By evening, it was close to tonight's camp.

Zhang Chi and Charles chatted very energetically.

At this time, in a clearing leading to the mountain, a snow rabbit thief jumped out, this thing is really fat, seeing a group of cows and cowboys, actually did not run, standing on the snow probe and looking at this side.

Zhang Chi saw it, and Charles naturally saw it.

I saw Charles take off the upper cover of the eagle's head, put the eagle on his arm, and gently lifted it up.

The moment the eagle took off the cover, he spotted the snow hare twenty or thirty meters away.

At the moment when Charles raised his arm, he spread his wings and flew towards the snow rabbit.

Zhang Chi was waiting to see the eagle catch the rabbit, who knew that the snow rabbit ran quickly when the eagle rushed over.

The rabbit ran in the snow, the eagle chased in the air, and swooped down on the rabbit like a sharp arrow.

Just when Zhang Chi thought that he had reached the catch, just when the eagle talon stretched out and was about to grab the rabbit's back, suddenly the rabbit made a ninety-degree turn, and then the eagle rushed into the snowdrift and came to a standard.

Immediately afterwards, the rabbit shook off the eagle so easily, and disappeared in a few jumps.

Zhang Chi opened his mouth slightly now, feeling that he had waited for a long time and was lonely, was it so hard for an eagle to catch a rabbit?

The eagle in the snow was a little confused, shook the snow off his body, spread his wings and called twice, and then flapped his wings and flew towards Charles.

It fell back on Charles's arm and was placed back on the scaffolding in front of the saddle.

"Bad luck," Charles said.

Zhang Chi nodded, but said in his heart: Your eagle is too wasteful.

Charles explained to Zhang Chi at this time, Zhang Chi realized that the success rate of eagles catching rabbits was not as high as he thought, in fact, many times it ended in failure, and when I saw that kind of eagle catching rabbits on TV, it was because the ones that were released were successful, and the failed ones were cut out.

This is a bit subversive of Zhang Chi's cognition, he thinks that it is not as easy as an eagle catching a rabbit and pinching a soybean with three fingers, only then did he know that in fact, the success rate of eagle hunting is not as high as he imagined.

Charles withdrew the eagle, but two small dots appeared in the sky, and the two eagles kept hovering low in the sky, crying, and the sound was so sharp that it hurt people's eardrums.

Charles's falconry hunted made the eagle couple in the sky think that their territory had been invaded by other eagles, so they always wanted to find an opportunity to fight the invaders.

Obviously, the eagle couple's idea was frustrated, and no matter how they cried in the sky, the eagle standing in the saddle remained unmoved.

When the sun went down, everyone arrived at the last camp on time, and tomorrow evening, everyone will arrive at Nell's ranch, and the transition will officially be over.

Everyone gathered the cattle together and began to work, even Zhang Chi was a veteran, so soon a bonfire was lit, and those who should cook and those who should collect firewood collected firewood.

Charles released his mink at this time, and let the two little things go around in the camp, and the two little ones were a little energetic after eating, and kept fighting, which made the camp a little more angry.

Dinner was still roast beef, vegetable soup and fried egg bacon and stuff.

Filling his stomach, Zhang Chi sat next to the fire, holding shredded meat to feed the mink, he didn't dare to feed the eagle, because he saw Charles wearing special leather gloves when he fed the eagle. It's safer to feed mink.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

The next thing is to sleep, and the next day I get up and have breakfast and continue to herd the cattle.

At noon, it was still a small Chinese hot pot, and in the evening, the cattle drove into the Nell's pasture, and Zhang Chi's first transfer trip was officially over.
