Chapter 358: Sprouts
Stepping on the back of the black bean, Jian Heng walked straight towards the position where Denver was.
The two sisters, Big Mai and Wheat, also began to look for the front and back of the house at this time, and Wheat, seeing that Jian Heng was now walking directly up the slope, chased after him.
"Where are you going? Didn't you go to find your sister? Wheat asked anxiously.
"Where can she go? Come to think of it, what is Pooh's favorite place to run? Jian Heng asked rhetorically.
Wheat was a little confused, and opened his mouth to ask, "Why Pooh?" ”
Jian Heng said: "If it's not Pooh, can it still be Denver?" It's not like you don't know that this guy in Denver doesn't seem to like too many people other than himself? ”
"It's good for Ning Ning," Wheat immediately retorted.
Jian Heng can't say the reason, if it weren't for the close blood relationship between Ning Ning and Jian Heng, it would be strange for Denver to be able to endure Ning Ning's move.
"I judged that Pooh was going crazy with the little girl, so I was going to go to the herd to have a look, I estimate that nine times out of ten, it was over there," Jian Heng said.
Wheat was a little skeptical.
Jian Heng looked at her eyes and said, "If you are suspicious, you can stay and look for it where you think it may be, anyway, I am going over there."
"Forget it, I'll go with you, Alison and I have been looking around, even the chicken coop, and we haven't seen Ning Ning's shadow, I hope your guess is right" Wheat is now a little worried about the safety of Ning Ning, a little girl.
Jian Heng said: "Don't worry! ”
After saying that, he urged the horse to continue walking up the slope. Although the snow in the pasture has not yet melted, after these days, the cattle have been able to cross the road in all directions, and it is no longer as difficult to walk as when the snow first fell.
Naturally, this situation will not last long, because in a few days there will be another blizzard, and then the roads will be buried by the snow again, and then everyone will have to open a new road, as is the case in the winter of the Rocky Mountains, where man and nature are repeated and interdependent.
After two slopes, Jian Heng and Wheat stood at the top of the slope, and after seeing the herd of livestock, they also saw Ning Ning.
Seeing that Ning Ning Jian Heng finally understood why the little girl was having fun, because she was now riding on Qianlong's back, and Qianlong was dancing in the snow with the girl.
Qianlong, this guy jumps high, four hooves can jump more than one meter and two meters high, jumping so high Generally speaking, the person on the back is unlikely to sit down, the deer runs fast and is very agile, but the person who can sit on the back of the deer is rare, that is, there are people who take the deer as a mount in mythological stories, and it is good for people in reality to stay on the back of the deer for a minute.
After observing it, Jian Heng seemed to understand a little bit why the little girl could sit on Qianlong's back, in addition to the blood relationship between the girl and Jian Heng, but also because the girl's body was very light, she could sit on Qianlong's neck, first, she could reach out and grab the antlers, and secondly, Qianlong's neck also made a cushion for the girl.
"Ning Ning!" When Mai saw Ning Ning, he immediately shouted loudly, and then immediately took out his mobile phone and began to call his family to report his safety.
Seeing his brother and wheat, Ning Ning sat on Qianlong's body and waved his hand.
"You little girl came out and didn't say a word, do you know how worried my mother is about you" Jian Heng walked in front of the little girl, and reached out and hugged the girl off Qianlong's back.
"I don't want to tell my mother, she's really verbose" Ning Ning shook her two calves, refusing to get off Qianlong's back, until the little fart hit her brother for a while, she was completely honest.
"Go home, come over tomorrow to play, we will have dinner today" Jian Heng said and put the girl on the back of Wheat's horse.
Wheat stretched out a hand to protect Ning Ning, and then said to Jian Heng: "Since we are all here, let's just drive the cattle back."
"It's good!" Saying that, Jian Heng whistled and beckoned Da Niu and Qianlong to come over.
Riding the black beans in a circle, gathering all the livestock together, Jian Heng scratched his head a little.
Wheat was also helping, and when he saw Jian Heng scratching his head when he heard this, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"There are more cattle in the herd," Jian Heng said after carefully counting them.
Wheat said: "Will there be another bison coming in?" ”
Jian Heng looked at the bison herd and said, "No, it seems that someone else's cattle have mixed in."
"Who's from it?" Wheat asked more.
"Wait, I saw one" Jian Heng took off the noose hanging from the head of the village, and kept shaking it in his hand, scaring the herd of animals to get out of the way and come to the side of the cow he saw for the first time.
After taking a closer look, Jian Heng found that there were no labels on the ears of the cow, and there were no imprints on the body. If it was a bison, it would not be strange for Jian Heng to arrive, but it is clear that these cattle are the kind of domestic cattle in the pasture, although the breed of cattle is really average, but no ranch will leave beef cattle behind.
You have to find all of them, let alone seven or eight beef cattle thrown together.
Cattle are divided into groups, and if one is found, then the other few must be near it, and they have just joined a strange group, not only the cattle will hold together, but people will also hold together, otherwise how can there be such things as a fellow villagers' association. The metaphor is a bit inappropriate, but it means the same thing.
"I don't know, there's no mark! There is no branding, and there is not even a sign of a mark on the ear" Jian Heng turned over and got on the horse again.
"Would you like to get a veterinarian for a check-up?" Wheat said.
Jian Heng replied: "That's for sure, let's drive the herd back first, and then let Juan Lynch come over and check these cows, don't give up with any diseases."
This happened a bit unexpectedly, with Jian Heng's caution, he could only think about this point first, although he felt that this thing was a bit strange.
"If you can't go, let me go and play, I haven't ridden enough deer."
At this moment, the little girl was a little unhappy, and she lost her temper at her brother and sister-in-law.
Wheat reached out and rubbed the hat on Ning Ning's head: "Go now, your temper is not small."
The two drove the herd back to the shed, Mai took Ning Ning home directly, and Jian Heng stayed here with Toby and drove his cattle into the shed, and then surrounded the cattle that slipped in today and waited for the veterinarian to come and check the cattle.
After the Toby couple drove the cattle into the barn, they immediately split into two and began to circle the pasture to find the fences that had been damaged by the cows, and repairing them was their last task for the day.
Old Lynch came very quickly, and Jian Heng didn't wait long before Lynch came over in his running truck, got out of the car with his small medicine box, and inspected the herd.
"It's not like there's any problem, but my suggestion is to isolate for a few days and observe, if you don't worry, I have a few pills here, you can mix them in the material and feed one at each end" After Lynch put away his tools, he shook a small bottle at Jian Heng and handed it to Jian Heng.
Jian Heng said: "What is isolated, I don't know how long it has been mixed together, the one that should have been dyed has already been dyed, do you know who has lost a cow nearby?" ”
"I haven't really heard anyone say that, but in my opinion, these cows don't look like they've been on the ranch for nearly a year!" Lynch said.
Seeing that Jian Heng was a little confused, Lynch explained: "The physical condition of these cattle is all average, it seems that they have not been carefully fed for at least a few months, and the cattle breeds are also a little too hybridized, I think it may be bred by cattle from which ranch."
"Okay, I know, thank you, if someone loses their cow, they are welcome to come and claim it" Jian Heng said to Lynch.
"Okay, I'll ask for you," Lynch picked up the box and tried to turn around.
After walking a few steps, Lynch stood up, turned to Jian Heng and asked, "I heard Sara say that you are going to buy a farm?" ”
"Well, a hundred acres is enough to guarantee a vegetable supply to our pastures! The one I contacted before, after the contract ended, I was not ready to do it anymore," Jian Heng said.
Lynch said, "The old Lens's farm is ready to sell."
"The old guy won't want to sell it to me" Jian Heng immediately smiled and said when he heard that it was the Lawrence family's farm.
Lawrence's farm is a good place, where to be, that is, their farm happens to be in the flattest place nearby, the whole farm is almost a flat land, and there is a river four or five hundred meters away from the farm, although it is necessary to pump water, but in the Rocky Mountain, it is so close to the river, and the river is not dry in the summer, it is not too much.
Most people use easements to irrigate their farms by pipelining river water.
"As long as the price is right, there's nothing you can't sell," Lynch said.
"Shall I negotiate the price with him? The old man didn't bite the price to death, it's not bad, thank you for your kindness, I don't want to go to the old man's place to be bored, besides, how can his farm be willing to sell! Jian Heng said.
Lynch said, "How do you know if you don't try?" ”
"Huh?" Jian Heng heard a little bit wrong.
Lynch said to Jian Heng: "Lawrence's farm is not in a very good situation now, the people from the bank have given the final notice, if they can't make up part of the money owed by the end of this month, then they will take back his farm."
"Will he owe money to the bank?" Jian Heng was a little curious, in Jian Heng's memory, Lawrence was a very stinky person, and he thought he was the best farmer in the neighborhood, of course, people also had arrogant capital, and their ranches were running well.
"This has to start with his customers, last year and the year before that, the profits of his ranch were quite good, and the sales were good, so Lawrence and his customers together funded the purchase of a large farm in Harding, ready to expand production, who knows that half of the work is done, his customer has an accident, so Lawrence is now facing two problems, the problem of which farm to keep."
"Not to keep this?" Jian Heng was surprised.
"He wanted to keep this, but he couldn't! Harding's land is an ordinary small ranch, and there are materials, although they have been put in, but who will take over such a farm. So the farm over there can't afford to sell for a price, so you have to put it in for both," said Lynch Sr.
Jian Heng thought for a while and said, "Then I won't ask this price for the time being."
"Hey!" Lynch sighed when he heard this, then waved his hand to Jian Heng, got into his car, and drove away from Jian Heng's ranch with a fire.
