Alpine pasture

Chapter 106
Sure enough, Ju An waited all night, and only three waves of children were brought by their parents to ask for sweets. It was not until after eight o'clock that the last two children came to Ju An's ranch, and they didn't come to ask for sweets. The ones who dropped by to play with Teddy Wu Song were Emily and Jerry.

As soon as the two little ghosts knocked on the door, Ju An immediately went to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the two little ghosts say: "Hello, Uncle An." Di and Wu Song leave, leaving Ju An depressed and Kerry laughing.

Ju An said to Kerry who was standing outside: "It seems that there are not many people coming today, come in and have a seat, I guess you have been running all night."So he invited Kerry to sit down on the sofa in the house, and he went to make a cup of coffee for Kerry.

After Kerry got on the sofa, he took off the cowboy hat on his head and put it on the armrest. Juan handed a cup of hot coffee to Kerry. After taking it, Kerry said thank you, and then said: " This night, I was really tired from running. The two little guys asked for a lot of candy in the town. Although you don’t have many kegs in your hand, there are still many in the car. The festive atmosphere in your home is also very good Ah, there are a dozen jack-o-lanterns lit at the gate, and I saw two at the gate of your ranch."

Ju An said depressedly: "Isn't this the first time I celebrate Halloween, people gave me a lot of pumpkins, I just carved a dozen or so, and put them everywhere. I thought many children would come to the ranch Asking for sweets, who knew that after waiting for several hours until now, two or three kittens came and bought so many chocolates for nothing.”

Kerry took a sip of his coffee, laughed and said to Ju An: "There is no atmosphere in the town during the holidays in the ranch. After all, everyone lives far away. If you ask for sugar in the ranch, you may not be able to get a few in two or three hours. It’s better to go to the town where there are many people and it’s close. Therefore, adults usually bring their children there to ask for candy. You will have experience next year. You don’t need to prepare anything. Our family never went out to buy any candy. , We also went to the town to beg for a circle and came back. We passed by you and saw the headlights outside. It happened that the two little guys wanted to play with Teddy and the others, so we came over."After speaking, he glanced at the two little guys who were playing with Teddy and Wu Song.The two are peeling the sugar in their small bucket, and they are feeding Teddy and Wu Song. If Wu Song has one in his mouth, he won’t ask for it anymore. Have you finished eating in your mouth?

Ju An glanced at Jerry and Emily and said, "Don't feed them too much sugar, I've already eaten a lot today, this guy still eats so much for dinner, Wu Song is okay, Teddy It's like a bottomless pit."

Kerry looked at Teddy's bulging belly and smiled and said to the two little guys: "Bears are like this. In the wild, they basically look for food every day when they open their eyes. When there is no rest, you two little guys Guys, don’t let them eat so much, Teddy will get tooth decay if he eats too much.”

After listening to Kerry's words, Emily asked curiously: "Teddy is a bear, can bears also have tooth decay?" After speaking, she looked at her brother Jerry in disbelief. Jerry seemed to be asked by his sister's words. I stopped, scratching my head and not knowing how to answer.

"Then see if Teddy has any teeth. If he has teeth, he will definitely have tooth decay, just like you did a while ago, didn't it hurt?" Kerry walked to Emily, squatted down, and stroked Emily's cheeks. said the little head.

Emily thought for a while, then nodded, and handed the small basket to Kerry. Kerry took the small basket from the two little guys and put it on the coffee table.

Ju An picked up the grapes in the fruit plate on the table and said to Emily and Jerry: "Come here and eat some fruit, and feed Teddy and the others a little more by the way, tonight is full of meat and sugar, just let them Eat some fruit" After speaking, he put the grapes into the two little hands stretched out.

Kerry asked Ju An: "Now all the cows have arrived? Now I feel that it is a real pasture when I walk by the edge of your pasture. I used to walk for a long time without seeing a single cow."

Ju An nodded and said: "Well, the last wave arrived this morning, and now there are more than 3 cattle in total, and the brokerage company also gave away less than a hundred calves."

"These guys, it's better to reduce the brokerage fee, and the calf will be fed for a year," Kerry said with a smile.

Ju An also smiled and replied: "It's better than nothing. By the way, how are your ranches doing tourism now? The quality of tourists is not bad."

Kerry nodded and said: "Well, yes, basically everything is very good. During this period of time, Taylor is always smiling, and the business is very good. In addition, some shops in the town have made a lot of money. Now they all like it. These generous Chinese guests".

Hearing this, Ju An felt relieved.Then he asked: "Now is the hunting season, do you have any plans, will you go hunting this year?"

Kerry shook his head: "It's not going to work this year. The group that comes to the ranch is already scheduled for Christmas. Where will there be any time? Why are you going to go hunting?".

Ju An nodded and said, "I'm going to go hunting in the mountains in two days, and I'm going to hunt a dozen big deer."

"Hunting deer is easy. You can find a pond and squat for two nights and you will always meet a deer, but it is not easy to find a dozen big deer. You basically have to go into the mountains. When the time comes, go to the water source in the mountains to guard, and you have to watch You have to be lucky, what do you go hunting, even if you are lucky, you will have to stay in the mountains for five or six days, if you are not lucky, you will wait," Kerry said strangely.

Ju An replied: "I saw the specimens of a dozen big deer that they had killed, the ones with only deer heads that look good on the wall, and I am going to make one myself and make a specimen to hang home".

In fact, the main reason for staying safe is that I miss the feeling when I went camping with the old Taylor, the spiritual shock of Tian Gao Shanxiong's closeness to nature, and the ranch is indeed busy these days, so I just have an excuse Flee into the mountains.

Kerry said: "If you go, I suggest you bring a few more dogs, and it is best to bring this guy with you."After speaking, he pointed to Teddy.

"What do you do with this guy, he seems to only be able to eat and drink, how troublesome is it to prepare something for him to eat?" Ju An asked puzzled.

"In the wild, Teddy lives better than you. He knows what he can and cannot eat, and you will never get lost with him. Otherwise, how did he live before he met us?" Kerry explained. .

Seeing that the two of them were almost chatting, Kerry got up and said goodbye with the two little guys. Ju An put a lot of chocolates in the baskets of the two little guys, so there was still half a jar left, so he had to leave He made snacks for Wu Song and Teddy, and enjoyed the two pieces every day.

The next morning, Ju An went to the town to go through the formalities of hunting deer. He paid more than 100 U.S. dollars in exchange for a piece of paper, allowing Ju An to hunt ten bucks.The next step is to go to the supermarket to do a lot of shopping, eat a lot of food and drink, and prepare to put it in the space. Even if a rabbit can't hit it, Ju An can live for more than ten 20 years with the space. sky.

In addition, Ju'an plans to bring a sleeping bag this time, instead of the tent that had to be set up last time.After a big purchase, Ju An drove his GMC back to the ranch. Of course, he found a free time in the middle of the process and put all the purchased things into the space.

After talking with Thomas, I prepared to pack up and set off for the mountain tomorrow.Thomas suggested that Ju An should not go into the mountains alone, after all, there are bears and wolves inside, and no one from Ju An has ever entered the mountains, and Ju An promised not to go deep, just to hunt a deer.Thomas couldn't persuade him, so he released the tiger's head, garlic and preserved eggs, and asked Ju An to take them with him. In this way, he brought two horses and a sorrel castrated stallion to carry the luggage.

When it was time to set off, he helped Ju An check his luggage, and Old Thomas carefully asked Ju An how to read the map, how to use the compass, etc., and finally said to Ju An: "Be careful when you go into the mountains. Use fire, and you must keep the bonfire alive at night. Many wild animals are afraid of fire. And don’t eat anything casually. If you see a fruit, let Teddy go first. If Teddy eats it, you can eat it. If you eat it, you must never eat it, it is poisonous in all likelihood.”

Ju An said with a smile: "Don't worry, I really don't want to go deep, I'll be back in five or six days, don't worry, there are three guys, Tiger Head Suanto and Preserved Egg, you are afraid that I will go into the mountains I can't get out."

Old Thomas shook his head and said, "It's not because you're afraid that you won't be able to get out of the mountain. As long as you walk facing the sun or with your back on the mountain, you can always come out. I'm afraid you will encounter wild animals."

"I'm bringing the guy." After speaking, Ju An smiled and patted the rifle on Doucao's back and the revolver on his waist. He didn't bring a pistol because it would be more troublesome if it jammed. A pistol is not as good as a revolver in this regard.

"I'm afraid that you will panic when the time comes. I know you have good marksmanship, but that's your normal shooting. It's different when you are in real danger. Many people will not even draw their guns when they encounter beasts at close range. If it weren't for the ranch, they would not be able to walk here Come on, I really want to go in with you," Thomas said.

"Don't worry, I'll come out alive and kicking in a few days." Ju An said, if it doesn't work, buddies can also flash into the space, there can be no danger, but this can't be said to Thomas.

"If you haven't come back in seven days, I'll call the police and let the police send a helicopter to find you," Thomas said seriously.

As soon as Ju An heard this, he said: "There is no need for such a big battle, and a helicopter has been dispatched."

Thomas nodded: "We are taxpayers. If you haven't come back for a week, you might be in danger. It's their duty to let them find you."

Ju An had no choice but to let Thomas go, promising that he would return to the ranch in at most six days, during which time all the matters of the ranch would be handed over to him.

Riding on Dou Cao and shaking the rein, Dou Cao walked forward, and Wu Song on the back of another sorrel gelding named Tu Ke also shook the rein, followed by Dou Cao walking forward. The three guys ran happily on the ground with Teddy.Hutou and the others barked from time to time, and they were very excited about the reunion with Ju An.
