After figuring out these two stupid thieves, Jian Heng's excitement about catching the cattle thief immediately decreased, and he really doubted that the IQ of these two goods dared to play like this when they were like this, probably because he regarded other people's IQ as being at the same level as them.

But then again, if it weren't for such intellectual flaws, you wouldn't have been able to do such a thing.

What made Jian Heng a little happy was that the North African Eagle Ranch actually offered a bounty of 10,000 knives, which was also a windfall from the sky.

Of course, Jian Heng was not ready to ask for this bounty, and made a statement in the police station that if the money was given by the North African Eagle Ranch, he would donate the full amount to the police station, which would be regarded as improving the office conditions of the American People's Police.

It was just such a little fucking thing, and it wasn't until it was dark that Jian Heng had to drive away from the police station and drive back along the road where there were still no people.

When I arrived in the town, I found that today's town seemed to be different from before, and there was still a faint noise coming.

So with the natural curiosity of human beings, Jian Heng did not directly turn into the path of his ranch, but drove less than four hundred meters along the main road, and stopped the car next to the small bar in the town.

"Good guys!" Jian Heng saw that the bar was a little noisy tonight, and he didn't need to go in, there were a few tables outside the bar, and a group of people were drinking and dancing, like a bonfire party.

"Mr. Jean, Mr. Jean, come and have a drink, I'm invited!"

Seeing Jian Heng get out of the car, a student immediately stood up and shouted at Jian Heng.

Seeing that he had already drunk a piece of hemp, Jian Heng waved his hand at him first, and then said, "Thank you, I'll go and see it first, you guys are drinking here."

Jian Heng smiled at all of them, and then walked towards the bar.

As soon as I entered, I was frightened by the people inside, good guy, it originally looked like a loose small bar, but now it was crowded with people, and standing at the door, I could feel that the air temperature inside was much higher than outside.

Not only were there a lot of people, but the jukebox also rang, and the songs of the Beatles that could not be older were ordered.

The original chairs at the bar were almost half empty every time I came, but now the front of the bar is not only full of chairs, but also a slightly better place to stand.

The small bar, which used to be quiet and peaceful, is now a bit like a nightclub, not only with a lot of people, but also very noisy.

Jian Heng had no choice but to get to the corner of the bar, reached out and knocked on the table, and raised his voice: "Sarah! Sara! Have a bottle of beer! ”

"It's gone!" Sara didn't look at anyone either, and when she heard that she wanted beer, she replied directly.

Now the proprietress Sara is busy and a little dizzy. It's just that unlike the dizziness of being sick, this is the dizziness of happiness.

In the past, the business of the small bar was barely enough to support her, but now there are ten more customers every day, and the consumption power of each one is obviously much stronger than that of the residents of the town, so Sarah's tavern has suddenly increased its turnover these days.

There wasn't much preparation for the day, and suddenly a dozen more people crowded in, all of them almost as if they were going to drink the wine in her bar, and kept screaming, not only Sara and Elizabeth Morey, the little waitress in the bar, were busy making cameos from time to time as cashiers and bartenders.

When Sara was done, she subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction where the voice came from just now, and when she found that it was Jian Heng, she immediately walked to the opposite side of Jian Heng with a smile, took out a wine glass from under the table, and put it on the table.

"I'm please!"

As he spoke, he added a few ice cubes to the glass, and then quickly poured Jian Heng a glass of whiskey.

"Business is good, huh?" Jian Heng thanked him first, and then said.

"Ever since you had customers at your ranch, the business of the bar has been pretty good, and a lot of people who live at Walsh Ranch and Anderson Ranch have a drink at the bar when they have time!" When Sara said that when it was time to engage in science, she stretched out her finger and pointed at her brain, meaning that these people were all smarter people.

For Sarah, Jian Heng is now like the God of Wealth, in the previous bar, there were two or three crows during the day, and at night, at the best time, more than half of them will be seated. Where would it be like now, not only was the room full, but even a few tables were set up outside.

Although it is a little tiring, but this belongs to the tiredness of happiness, the tiredness of happiness is better than the leisure of the poor, which business does not want to greet customers every day. So when Sara saw Jian Heng, she naturally wanted to greet her with a smile.

"Don't even have beer?"

Jian Heng was just about to say something, when he heard a familiar voice over there, and the person who spoke was also standing next to the bar at the moment, and he couldn't squeeze into the first row of the bar, so his face was naturally a little unhappy.

When Jian Heng turned his head to take a look, he found that the person who came was the old veterinarian in the town, Lynch, so he stretched out his hand and said hello: "Lynch!" ”

Lynch saw Jian Heng calling himself, so he walked over to Jian Heng, and said as he walked: "Oh my God, there are too many people in the bar today, I just drank a bottle of beer, and the second bottle is gone!" ”

As he spoke, Lynch pointed at Jian Heng the empty beer bottle in his hand.

Jian Heng took a sip of the wine in the glass: "You still have beer, I don't even have beer when I come."

"Wait a minute, in a few minutes at most, and the delivery cart will be here," Sara explained to Lynch, then gestured to him for the whiskey in her hand.

"I'm please!" Sarah's business is good, but she doesn't want to disappoint the regular customers, and now she has no beer, so she can only take the whiskey on top, but just like that, there is less than one case of whiskey left, and if the delivery car is an hour late, it is estimated that the whiskey in her bar will be gone.

"Oh my God, these guys can really drink!" Picking up his wine glass, Old Lynch looked around at the guests in the bar, and then asked Jian Heng again, "These are all guests from your ranch?" ”

"Not all, half of it!" Jian Heng looked around and replied, half of them were guests from the ranch, and the other was a researcher from the foundation, and some helpers who did chores for them.

Lynch didn't know what to remember, and suddenly turned his head and scolded the crowd with his mouth, and said to Sara at the bar, "Sarah, when was the last time the bar in town was so lively?" ”

Lynch's question made Sara fall into memory, and after thinking for a while, she said: "I'm afraid it was thirty years ago, when I was in my twenties and just reached the age of drinking, and the first time I came here to drink was with Walsh, I remember that I ordered a bottle of beer and sat in that position, and Walsh asked for a tequila ...... at that time."

"Yes, since then, people have moved out of the town every year, and now there is only such a big place left" Lynch seemed to be a little nostalgic for that time, and when he said this, his expression was a little melancholy.

"It used to be prosperous here?" Jian Heng asked curiously.

"Prosperity is not enough, and there are two lumberyards and a couple of small oil wells a dozen miles away, so the population of the town is almost five times faster than it is now, and it is more than the population of Marion today," Sara said.

"More than that!" After Old Lynch finished speaking, he talked to Jian Heng about the town.

The former town seemed to be several times more populous than the current Marion from Lynch's mouth, and the area was naturally much larger, and finally because the forest farm was closed and the oil wells were soon exhausted, the prosperity of the town became the memory of these fifty or sixty-year-old people when they were young.

Urbanization seems to be a trend, and in the United States, as in China, the children of peasant families want to work in prosperous cities, not like their parents. It's just that rural babies in the United States are not like rural babies in China, and they are called migrant workers after entering the city.

In the United States, the economic conditions of rural children who have land and pastures are generally comparable to those of the urban middle class, and more are large middle class or directly large capitalist families.

Therefore, they did not go into the city like the Chinese peasants went into the city, and were looked down upon by some people with a sense of superiority of the city people.

After a glass of whiskey and the story was finished, Jian Heng reached out and patted it on the table: "Okay, you guys talk first, I'll go back to the ranch."

"A few more drinks, I'm please!" Sara said.

Jian Heng waved his hand: "Thank you, but don't worry, I still have something to do when I go back."

After saying goodbye to Sara and Lynch, and then kept saying hello to his students along the way, and returned to the car, Jian Heng let out a sigh: "Woohoo!" This bar is a bit breathless! ”。
