Chapter 237: I Saw People
Throwing the phone back on the bedside table, Zhang Chi smiled at Merika and said, "Go on."
Merika listened and said, "How do you look like an animal?"
"......" Zhang Chi was a little speechless.
"Who did you learn this from?" Zhang Chi asked.
Merica said, "This is a compliment to you."
"I didn't hear it" Zhang Chi felt a little hurt his self-esteem, but after thinking about it, what did he want that thing to do, so he directly pulled Merica and prepared to enter the house again to enhance the relationship.
Who knew that it hadn't started yet, and Merica said, "Listen, there's movement outside."
Zhang Chi paused and pricked up his ears and asked, "Where is there any movement?"
When I heard this, I found that there was movement outside, and the big white geese in my house kept calling, because they were a little far away from the house, so if I didn't pay attention, I really couldn't hear it.
If you change places, you may not be able to hear it, mainly because the night is too quiet here, if you live in the city, let alone hear the goose cry at such a distance, you may not hear the pig cry with a pig.
"Your ears are really sharp" Zhang Chi got out of bed and began to put clothes on his body.
Merica got out of bed, and the two of them got dressed, and went out of the house, and stood under the porch and pricked up their ears to listen to the movement.
Now the goose cry is even more obvious.
"The goose wasn't in the pen at night?" Merica asked.
"At this time, where to put the goose in the circle, go, go and see," Zhang Chi said.
Merica followed Zhang Chi to the stable, and when she reached the door of the stable, she saw that Cannon and Brian were already setting their horses.
"Boss, Miss Merica"
The two saw Zhang Chi and Merika coming, so they said hello to the two, but the movements of their hands did not stop.
It was evident that the two of them had also heard the goose cry and were about to go and have a look.
Now the two of them are crammed into the RV, one occupies the bed, and the other directly changes the chair into a temporary bed, and will deal with it.
"Did you hear the goose cry too?" Zhang Chi asked.
Cannon nodded: "Well, we were just going to take a look, and it is certainly not something ordinary to make a goose cry like this in the middle of the night."
Zhang Chi snorted and pulled Chiyan Mountain out of the stable. Merica took her mount out as well, and the two began to saddle up.
In the process of preparing the saddle, the two little guys, Bai Lao and Shiren, were making trouble next to them, and now these two little things are like two children with ADHD, as long as they see something fun, they will pounce on it.
By the time the two of them were ready, Cannon and Brian were already on their way.
When Zhang Chi and Merika ran to the lake, they found that the geese had stopped crowing, and these guys were all sleeping quietly in the pond with their heads under their feathers.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone heard the goose call, Zhang Chi thought he was hallucinating.
At this moment, Brian and Cannon were holding flashlights, looking for clues along the edge of the pond.
"Did you find anything?" Zhang Chi dismounted and asked Cannon.
Cannon shook his head: "I haven't found it yet, but if you can make a goose cry so loudly, it's definitely not a small thing, and it must be at least about the same size as a goose."
The goose is quite ferocious, otherwise no one would have nicknamed the goose one of the three tyrants in the village.
Seeing that Cannon didn't find any clues, Zhang Chi looked at the group of geese in the pond and began to count them in his heart.
At this moment, there are still a lot of geese on the lake, there are about seventeen or eighteen large and small, mainly Zhang Chi and Cannon did not eat much, and the goose eggs were too fishy, so the eggs laid by the geese were hatched by the geese themselves.
After counting, Zhang Chi finished counting, and then realized that he didn't know how many geese there were in his house now, so he turned his head and asked Cannon.
"By the way, how many geese are there now?"
Cannon said, "Seventeen."
"That's not right, why are there three more?" Zhang Chi was a little confused: "Could it be that I counted wrong?" ”
Merica then said, "You didn't count wrong, it's twenty."
"What's going on, whose goose ran away from us" Zhang Chi was a little strange.
Brian then looked out to the water.
The moon is big and bright tonight, and the lake looks like a small mirror.
Brian soon found out and said to his boss: "BOSS, it's not all our geese, there are three wild ducks mixed in there, you can take a look over there."
Zhang Chi heard Brian say this, paid attention to it, and sure enough, he found that there were three unknown guys mixed in the flock of geese.
This is easy to distinguish, because Zhang Chi's geese are all domestic geese, unlike the American geese here, they are gray, with gray feathers on their wings, and they look like large gray ducks.
Geese are domesticated from geese, and there are many varieties of geese in our country, but here the geese are generally gray, and the feathers on their bodies are gray and white. Of course, the fierceness is still as fierce, but Zhang Chi feels that the taste is average, and it is always not as good as our own domestic goose.
Just when Zhang Chi was wondering how these wild ducks came from, Cannon and Brian had already made a round of inspections, and the two of them went around separately and walked around the pond when they met again.
"What is the reason for this?"
Cannon saw Brian and gestured with his eyes, and when Brian shook his head, he knew that Brian didn't find anything wrong either.
"Didn't find it?"
Zhang Chi asked.
Cannon said: "I didn't find it, but it's almost two choices, either the little coyote, or the fox, otherwise it would be impossible for the goose to call like this."
"Could it be a mountain lion?"
Zhang Chi remembered for no reason that he hadn't killed the mountain lion last time, it had been so long, maybe this guy had forgotten what had happened before, and ran to his ranch again to find food.
"That's possible," Cannon said immediately.
"However, if it's a mountain lion, we should be able to find footprints, the soil here is a little soft, and if this guy comes, the footprints will be obvious," Cannon deduced.
Zhang Chi thought for a moment and felt that Cannon was right.
The four of them stood on the edge of the pond, waited for a while, and found that there was no movement around, and the geese in the pond were motionless on the water, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.
"Let's all go back," Zhang Chi said.
Everyone has to sleep at night, and Cannon and Brian have to work tomorrow, so we can't all be here and watch.
So the four returned to the stable, unsaddled their mounts, and pushed into the compartment.
As soon as he returned to the house, Zhang Chi heard his mobile phone ringing.
took it out and looked at it, and found that it was my own wife who called.
So I immediately picked up the video.
"Dachi!"
Zhang Chi looked at it and couldn't help but be happy, because he saw his grandparents sitting next to his mother, and his father was stretching his neck in the back, looking like he couldn't squeeze in front of him.
And the grandparents, including the mother, seem to have changed their clothes, especially their grandfather, who also wore a suit, and I don't know what age the suit is, it looks like a little old photo.
"What kind of demon are you guys making trouble?" Zhang Chi asked with a smile.
"Your sister said you were getting married?" Zhang Chi's mother, Li Xiumei, is in the mood to care about this kind of thing now, she is thinking about looking at her daughter-in-law.
From Zhang Chi left home and returned to the ranch, Li Xiumei began to continue to worry about her son's marriage, but she was deflated by the matchmaker in Sili and Eight Villages, because Zhang Chi was blind date for the New Year, Li Xiumei was directly blacked out, no matter what Li Xiumei said, people just didn't introduce girls to Zhang Chi.
As for what Li Xiumei said about my son having land in the United States, many of these matchmakers don't believe it, and even if they do, they shake their heads, they think that if they go to the United States, of course they have to go to the big city, and they have lived in the countryside all their lives, and they raise a girl to come out and marry to the United States as a farmer, isn't that two hundred and five?
In the minds of these people, the peasant is not a good profession, and if you become a peasant, even if you go to the city to work, you are not called a worker, you are called a peasant worker.
I used to run in restaurants, but now I farm in the United States, and the grade has not improved to any extent.
There is no matchmaker willing to introduce it, Li Touxiumei can't be down-to-earth at all, except for going to the greenhouse to do some work for people and get some wages all day long, all the time is spent on finding a partner for her son.
As a result, when I got home at noon today, I saw that my son had called, and my daughter had made more than a dozen calls in the morning, so I replied to my daughter first.
Knowing from the girl's mouth that her son was getting married, she immediately felt that a gold ingot fell from the sky and smashed on her head, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
This good news instantly made the four elders happy, so everyone deliberately cleaned up before they were ready to make a video for Zhang Chi.
"What about the daughter-in-law?"
Li Xiumei was a little anxious, she was a little tired of her son's face.
Zhang Chi said to Merika at the door: "Merika come here."
Merika was about to change her clothes, and when she heard Zhang Chi's words, she walked over: "What's the matter?" ”
"My mom and dad, they want to meet you," Zhang Chi said.
Merika was not afraid, and she didn't have the anxiety that her ugly daughter-in-law was going to see her in-laws at all, so she walked to Zhang Chi's side and said hello to everyone on the screen.
"Hello!"
Merica waved her hand at the camera.
Hello this time, the four elders on the opposite side were confused, they didn't expect Merika, the granddaughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law to come up with a sentence that was actually like a leader's inspection, come to say hello.
I heard that the two of them are going to get married, and according to the customs of the Chinese, they always have to call grandparents, uncles and aunts and so on.
But they quickly figured it out: they are Americans, and maybe the United States doesn't pay attention to these things.
So the four elders were soon happy again, immersed in the joy of having a granddaughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law.
"Hello girl".
Grandpa Zhang Jiaren waved his hand with a smile at Merika on behalf of everyone.
