Nothing happened all night, and the next morning, everyone packed up and continued to set off. Everything went smoothly over the ensuing, and although everyone arrived at the Winter Ranch a day and a half later than originally planned, everyone was in good spirits. Of course, Jian Heng's obscure contribution played a great role.

Winter pastures are located in a single valley, or rather not a valley, but a series of valleys forming a meandering valley.

In winter, the temperature here is at least 10 degrees warmer than outside, not to mention some geothermal and hot springs.

If nothing else, just look at the pasture in the valley now, it is a little greener than the pasture outside. The grass outside had begun to wither, but it was still a green patch, and there was a ribbon of green between the mountains on either side.

The weather, which had been slowly getting colder, suddenly made people feel warmed up, and the thick clothes and pants seemed to be a little unwearable, and every noon, if you cover it tightly, the slightly fatter denim may sweat profusely.

"Wow! It's magnificent."

He Ye and Jim, including the bodyguards, were all amazed by the magnificent scenery in front of their eyes, and the distance between the two sides was at most a kilometer, and there was a huge cliff hundreds of meters high.

These cliffs are not the kind with slopes, they are directly up and down, and the mountains on both sides are like knives and axes, which are very steep. There is hardly any vegetation growing on such a steep cliff, and a large area of the mountain is so naked that there is no trace of cover, so that the gray-white rocks are exposed, and only a small shrub or small tree can be found standing alone on the cliff from time to time.

However, when your eyes turn to the top of the mountain, you immediately feel that your eyes are full of greenery, and there are countless huge trees that can only grow for hundreds of years.

Inside the valley is a different story, with few shrubs to be seen, and the whole body is covered with pastures, which are different from the pastures outside, and here the grasslands are made up of a variety of pastures, including alfalfa and ryegrass, and occasionally some amaranth jumping into view.

What is even more surprising is that there is a shallow stream about 30 meters wide in the middle of the valley, and the water is not deep at most, and at most it does not reach the horse's knee, and the whole stream divides the valley in two. A mesmerizing blue sky is reflected in the sunlight.

Old Walsh got the winter pasture on the north side of the valley, and a large area on the south side belonged to a ranch company, and the cattle were put up, which was much more beautiful than Old Walsh's house.

The old Walsh family had just arrived, and they happened to meet the people who gathered the cows, dozens of cowboys, gathered together tens of thousands of cows, and drove all the way southeast along the valley, if nothing else, these cows mooed, and the whole valley was moved.

That momentum made Jian Heng's eyes a little hot for a while.

The group drove the cattle to the allocated pasture, and Old Walsh found his own cabin for the winter, this thing Jian Heng didn't know too much, I don't know if this belongs to a public facility or a private property, anyway, it's such a thing.

You expect it to be as comfortable as home, then you really think too much, its only function is to keep the cowboys in the winter sheltered from the wind and snow, can eat a hot meal or something, if you want to take a hot bath a day, have nothing to do and play an electric or something, then you really want to go crazy.

The big ranch may have good facilities to enjoy, but this does not belong to a family ranch like Old Walsh, if you want to enjoy all this, the ranch may face bankruptcy next year, for the herd, as long as the cattle have not been sold, then the ranch will always be in a state of loss.

The area of the room is not large, only fifty or sixty square meters, there are two wooden beds in it, or raised beds, a total of four people can live, and the small kitchen in the house is only one wooden table, as for the matchmaking bag or something, the owner has to bring it himself.

Of course, the fireplace in the house is indispensable, and the heating in the house in winter mainly depends on it, counting on electricity? Then save it, so that the power company will not spend a hundred years to build you a transmission line here because of the little money you make every winter, and spend an investment that cannot be recovered for a hundred years.

Of course, household generators are also common in the United States, and there are also large ranches that are used during the winter, but private ranches such as Old Walsh are mainly wood-fired fireplaces for the winter.

The first thing to do when I arrived at the ranch was that Walsh, as the owner, was to cook a delicious meal for my friends, and whenever the transition was officially completed, the host would entertain the relatives and friends who helped to eat a delicious meal to express my gratitude.

Naturally, the elder Walsh didn't disrespect this tradition, cooking himself, preparing the steak and grilling it himself, and then specially grilled two flavors of pizza to present to his friends. When it was time to start the meal, I added a caviar, a vegetable soup, and two bottles of expensive red wine.

For Old Walsh, these are delicious, but for Jian Heng, it is a little difficult now, and the Chinese stomach that is beginning to recover slowly is eating Western food for a few days, especially the barbecue and barbecue every day for several days, seeing the steak Jian Heng felt sick to his stomach.

Similar to Jian Heng, there are He Ye and the bodyguards, and the three Chinese stomachs are starting to be a little unable to accept the current diet, and the people who are constantly missing Zhao Changshan in their hearts.

"Isn't it appetizing?"

Old Walsh saw the expression on Jian Heng's face, stopped, and asked with concern. As he spoke, he glanced at He Ye and his bodyguard.

Jian Heng shook his head: "No, it's that my stomach is a little uncomfortable today, and I don't want to eat much!" ”

Jian Heng can't say that buddy wants to eat Chinese food now, you are either smoked or roasted, buddy is about to collapse.

"Eat some caviar, then," said old Walsh.

Jian Heng waved his hand: "No, you eat first, I'll go out for a walk."

Caviar may be sought after by domestic petty bourgeoisie, but Jian Heng has never liked this thing, in Jian Heng's opinion, this thing is smelly and fishy, plus an expensive one, except for this 'advantage', there is nothing else.

After speaking, Jian Heng directly walked out of the house with the small half of the pizza left in his hand.

Seeing Jian Heng walking out of the door, Xiao Xiong looked at the milk in the basin in front of him a little reluctantly, and then seemed to have made up his mind, turned his head and ran in the direction of the door for less than two or three steps, and then quickly turned his head back to the side of the basin, and began to suck the milk in the basin violently.

After sucking his fill, he immediately turned his legs and chased after Jian Heng, and chased to the door, probably feeling that the milk in his mouth was gone, and the little thing turned his head and ran to the basin again.

So the cub ran back and forth between the basin and the door more than a dozen times, until he drank all the milk in the basin, and then stood at the door.

It stood at the door at this moment, where was Jian Heng's shadow at the door?

"Whew! Oh! ”

The bear stood in the doorway, shouting loudly to the mountains and calling out to his master.

Jian Heng felt its call, but he was not in the mood to pay attention to it, since the little bear cub was connected with the secret space, such calls would not be less than twenty times a day, to be honest, sometimes Jian Heng was very upset.

Now Jian Heng has hid in a place where no one is around, and he took out a braised pig hand from his own space, gnawing on it in full swing, where is he in the mood to take care of the little bear cub.

Just when Jian Heng was hiding in a place that was not easy for others to see, and gnawed on the pig's hand, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near.

Sticking his head out from where he was hiding and looking in the direction where the voice came from, Jian Heng saw a herd of horses running towards him.

The whole herd of horses, about four or five hundred horses, was coming under the guidance of a chestnut horse king towards the winter pasture assigned to old Walsh.

"Fuck me!"

I originally thought it was just the free movement of the horses, but I didn't expect that after the horses, the figures of the three cowboys appeared, judging from some of the logos on these cowboys, they were still their neighbors, that is, the cowboys of Edwin Harrison Marcus Ranch.

The sign on the back of the horse's butt in the herd also indicates that at least half of the horses in the herd belong to the ranch.

Judging by Jian Heng, it is very clear that these cowboys don't want their own free-range 'wild horses' to eat the forage of their own winter pastures, so they drive them to other people's pastures.

Because of the communal pastures, it's not surprising that there are 'wild horses' that are free-range, and in a way, these wild horses are the owners of the pasture, and they should be able to graze here at will.

No, the same is true for grazing, and the entire public pasture is forbidden to defend the wild horse herd, which means that all the ranchers assigned to the winter pasture must not prevent them from grazing.

However, the facts are often different from the rules, and almost all ranchers who come over for the winter do not want a herd of wild horses on their winter pastures, even if they belong to them. Because these wild horses will compete with their cattle and sheep for grazing that is not abundant in the first place.

Think about it, if there is plenty of pasture, wouldn't they be stupid enough to travel long distances to drive their cattle here for the winter, just because there is forage here, and their own pastures can't provide enough fodder for the cattle to survive the winter.

Therefore, some ranchers or cowboys will do everything possible to drive away the herds of wild horses grazing on the boundary of their winter pastures, just like these cowboys that Jian Heng saw.

Almost came to the realm, and the cowboys did not stop until they drove the wild horses to the pasture where the old wows had been assigned a mile or more, and then turned around and left with a smile.
