Alpine pasture

Chapter 534
The small propeller plane rented by Ju An landed steadily in Bonners Ferry. It was morning and there were not many passengers in the airport.The passenger plane came to a stop, and Ju An took Teddy and the others out of the plane. Behind Teddy was a clockwork and a spring. It was the first time that the two troublemakers were very novel. They wanted to walk back and forth on the plane, and were caught Ju An glared several times before he calmed down. Clockwork and Spring were followed by Hans and Jin Bao, and behind them were dozens of cattle dogs led by Hu Tou Suantou and Pi Dan.When Da Jin and Little King Kong got out of the cabin, they had already flown into the sky.

A bus was parked next to the plane. Ju An got on the bus with the clockwork. Hunter and Thornton followed Ju An into the bus with the cattle dogs. The seats on the bus had already been taken down. There are only three or four seats, just enough for the cattle dog and Teddy to squat down with a little squeeze.

Watching the bus driving out of the airport, walking towards the foot of the mountain.Encountering cars in twos and threes on the road, Ju An looked at his watch, it was just after nine o'clock.

At the foot of the mountain, I saw a large helicopter parked in an open space. The sled and some supplies were delivered directly by the helicopter. Several people from the security company are currently assembling the sled. A white man in his 30s, with high-top boots on his feet, a leather jacket, and a one-piece fur hat on his head. The sled next to him has been assembled, and there are a lot of things piled on it, and there are ten people beside him. Several huskies are running and making noise.You don't need to guess to know that this person is the friend Norman mentioned.

When the bus stopped next to the camp, Norman's friend was immediately overwhelmed by Ju'an's style. First, he followed the big bear, lion and leopard, then two mountain lions, and dozens of tall ones behind him. Big thick-haired dogs, only 36 cattle dogs were brought here in the end. During the ranch test, twelve cattle dogs could pull the sled and gallop, not the fifty that Ju An said.

Hunter walked up to the four employees: "Is everything assembled?".

"It's almost there, we are doing the final inspection," one of the black boys said to Hunter.Hunter nodded.

Ju An walked up to a sled and tried it out with his hands. Don't look at such a big sled, he can easily lift it with one hand. Don't look at the light weight. These sleds can be bought at the same price as Ju An's family. A dozen or so, Norman's friend came over and extended his hand to Ju An: "Brian, Norman's friend."

"Hello! Just call me Ann." Ju An smiled and shook hands with the fellow photographer.Then he watched the inspection of the two sleds and asked a hunter, "Let's harness the cattle dogs of these two sleds first."

Hunter nodded, and Ju An greeted the cattle dogs one by one to put the triangular leather sheath on the cattle dogs' chests, and then hung up the rope.hung on the sled.

It was really busy for more than half an hour before Ju An was ready. As soon as he raised his head, he saw that Brian had taken out the camera and took a few snaps at Teddy Hans. The huskies on his side had already Shrunk in fright.

After tidying up his things, Hunter said to Juan Thornton and Brian: "Then let's go?".

Ju An and the others nodded, and Hunter yelled at the leader of the preserved eggs: "Preserved eggs! Guys, let's go."After speaking, he stood on the sled, and Pidan led the sled and trotted easily.

Ju An and Thornton also followed, Ju An followed Hunter closely, Thornton adjourned, Brian and his husky team adjourned.Of course, Teddy and the others ran around Ju An's sled, and from time to time, the clockwork would jump up suddenly, and then step on the snow to make a hole. Later, the spring also learned, and the two troublemakers The ghost just played happily along the way.

After walking for a while, Ju An turned around and saw that Brian had fallen about ten meters behind Thornton, hanging far behind the team.

In order to prevent the cold wind from blowing into his neck, Ju An tightened his hood and wrapped the sides of the goggles. After passing through the foot of the mountain, the trees grew more and more taller. The cattle dogs He pulled the sled and ran quickly without saying a word, unlike the huskies behind, who barked while running.

After running for about an hour, the team of four entered the mountain forest completely, and the temperature dropped by at least five or six degrees. It was better for Ju An to pull the sled through the snow, and the cattle dogs pulling Hunter's sled were the most strenuous.

After running for another hour and a half, the sun was almost above the top of the head. Hunter standing on the sled in front raised his arms, and Juan raised his arms, so that the team slowly stopped, and Hunter shouted loudly. He said to Ju An and the others: "Let's have lunch here. In half an hour, we will continue to set off and let the cattle dogs have a rest."

Cattle dogs can rest, but humans cannot. The four of them separately searched for branches to start a fire, and then Hunter was in charge of cooking. Hunter opened several plastic packages and poured a dozen pieces of brown soap into the cauldron. The same thing, and then started to stir up.

Ju An stretched his head and looked at the brown, mushy thing inside and asked, "We won't just eat this at noon, shall we?"Looking at these things makes me lose my appetite. To be honest, this pot of brown mush looks like poop, and it makes me sick to my stomach, let alone let Ju An eat it.

"These things are fed to cattle dogs. Just a spoonful can provide a lot of heat, military food." Hunter said with a smile to Ju An, and then pouted his mouth: "We eat food roasted next to the fire, that taste Better!".

Now Ju An felt relieved, if he wanted to let himself eat the poop-like thing in the pot, he probably couldn't help but get a piece of sauced beef from the empty house and eat it.

The pot of poop-like paste was ready in about ten minutes. Hunter directly took out a dozen small bowls and asked the cattle dogs to eat one by one.

Ju An tore open the plastic package that was roasting next to the fire. Fortunately, it didn’t look like stool, but something that looked like mashed potatoes and a small box of vegetables. Into the mouth, um, the taste is not bad, at least there are saltheads, handed two to Thornton and Brian, and the three of them ate together.

After all, it was his mother's dry military rations, even if he was very hungry, this small piece actually filled Ju An to his full.After feeding the dog, Hunter walked to the campfire, tore open his dry food and started to chew: "Our progress in the morning is a bit slow, and we need to speed up in the afternoon."

Brian nodded: "I'm sorry! I saw a few beast huskies with weak legs, and it will be better in the afternoon. I will try my best to keep up with the team."Hearing what Brian said, Ju An turned his head to look at the huskies, and saw that some of them were still smelling at Hans, and it was exactly as others said. The legs are weak, but now I dare to sniff around the mountain lion presumptuously.It seems that the reports heard before, the news that the husky played with the thief who entered the house is true.

The four of them finished eating, put out the fire, and continued on their way. At this time, Ju An looked at Brian behind him. Sure enough, the group of huskies had strengthened a lot. After this meal, their legs and waist were not weak anymore. Forget it, the shouts were much more cheerful, and they followed closely behind Thornton's sled.

While on the road, Ju An looked at Da Jin and Xiao Jin in the sky from time to time, the two golden eagles flew very smoothly, circled around Ju An, and found nothing at all.

And looking at the clean snow all around, not to mention wolves, I didn't even meet a deer, but from time to time, two snow rabbits flashed in front of my eyes, making Clockwork and Spring jump happily Go up and chase after the snow rabbit for a while. Of course, the speed of the two troublemakers on the snow is not to mention. Next time I see a snow rabbit, I will happily chase after it.

"Aw~~~! Aw~~~~!" Waiting for a fire to start in the camp, the sky darkened, and just after dinner, Ju An started to howl like a wolf facing the mountains, howled twice, and stood upright. I listened to the voices in the forest, hoping to hear the responses from the three with split lips and ghost eyes. After waiting for four or five minutes, there was no sound at all. It was certain that the three wolf kings were not in this area.

Ju An sighed and sat beside the fire.Thornton asked Ju An: "Don't be discouraged, maybe we will meet a few of them sometime, we are only on the first night in the mountains."

Looking at the warm firelight, Ju An nodded and did not speak. At this time, Brian had already turned on the camera to record what was going on in front of him. Hearing what Thornton said, he immediately pointed the camera at Thornton and Ju An. One, asked: "I know these three chiefs came from the big house mountain in Montana, do you know them?"

Ju An was not interested in showing his face, and turned Lian to the fire, but Thornton said to the camera: "Who doesn't know them in the pasture at the foot of Juwu Mountain."Then he told the story of the rancher at the foot of Juwu Mountain getting along with the wolves, and then said to the camera: "We just want to bring them back this time."After speaking, he added to the camera: "Take it back alive".After speaking, he patted the rifle next to him: "We have prepared anesthetics, just find them."

Listening to Thornton talking to Brian, Ju An gently touched Teddy's head lying next to him with his hands, and the clockwork and spring also obediently fell asleep beside the fire, with their eyes dazed. It seems that I am sleepy after playing for a day.While listening to Thornton talking about his split lips when he was a child, and when he went to the farmer or rancher's house to eat food, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the chubby appearance of the three wolf cubs when they were young was reflected in his mind.

The four of them gathered around the bonfire, huddled next to the cattle dog and husky, and it was a lot warmer, especially Ju An, who was surrounded by Teddy clockwork springs, Hans and Jinbao, plus tiger head preserved eggs and garlic. The surrounding cold wind is tightly blocked.
