Ranch Story: Start Over

“Knock, knock, knock.”

There was a knock on the door and Feng Ling quickly got up.

"Squeak..." the door opened.

"Uh! Hello, who are you?"

"Ah, hello, uncle, who are you?"

Looking at the man in front of me, with a red magic hat, a pair of glasses that look like decorations, and a pair of huge mustaches, it makes people want to touch them. Judging from the silky smoothness of the mustache, the other party takes good care of his beard.

A red tuxedo with a delicate blue bow on the chest makes people feel good. Looking at the meticulous clothes of the other party, it is exquisite and elegant:

"Look at your attire. Are you Uncle Thomas?"

Feng Ling instantly thought of a game character in his memory. He didn't expect that the mayor in real life was even more handsome, and his whole body was full of elegance and gentlemanliness. Looking at his well-dressed suit, Feng Ling hurriedly greeted him.

Thomas blinked, looked at Feng Ling and thought hard for a moment, but couldn't remember anything, so he asked:

"Young man, who are you? I have no idea what you are."

Feng Ling smiled at Thomas, then quickly moved aside and invited Thomas into the house.

The confident and kind-hearted Thomas did not despise Feng Ling's house because it was dilapidated, and walked into the room very naturally.

"Hey, old friend, it's rare to see you eating meat. Can't you introduce this guy to me? He knows me, but I don't know him."

Thomas teased Feng Qingyang.

"Hahaha, you idiot, this is my grandson Feng Ling. What do you think? Handsome, right?"

"This kid looks very strong, with solid muscles. He's much stronger than my son. He's also handsome, wow. I didn't expect that your grandson, who looks so shabby, would be so outstanding."

Thomas exclaimed in admiration.

"Go away, go away. You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. What's wrong? Why do you come to my place so late at night?"

Feng Qingyang said this unhappily, but looking at his smiling face, grandpa was not in a bad mood. Perhaps it was because someone visited at night, and it was really uncomfortable to be alone at home.

"Since it's your grandson, that's great. Just tell him everything."

"?"

Feng Ling scratched his head. The two of them were discussing something.

"It's like this, Feng Ling, you see, your grandfather is old, and this ranch is no longer easy to manage.

Before you came, I wanted to let your grandfather rent out the ranch so that he would have a stable income, right? This ranch was your grandfather's capital when he was young, it is very huge, and the rent will definitely be high, so he can spend his old age in peace."

Feng Ling nodded. Indeed, even before his rebirth, his parents had been persuading his grandfather to sell the old house and move to the city. They thought that his grandfather was stubborn and refused to move to the city, but his grandfather scolded them directly.

Here, Uncle Thomas plans to rent out Grandpa's ranch, and then exchange the rent for the corresponding amount to take care of him. This will also solve the problem of living expenses for the old man, and it really takes the old man into consideration.

"I can't help it. It's because you family members never come. You know, if I put it bluntly, after your grandfather passes away, you don't come back, and this ranch will have to be handed over to the government and taken back. That's not worth it."

Hearing Thomas' blaming tone, Feng Ling quickly apologized.

"Uncle Thomas, don't worry, I won't leave. I will stay here in the future."

Seeing Feng Ling's determined expression that didn't seem like he was joking, Thomas actually got excited.

"Feng Ling, I originally wanted my son Thomas to ask his friends to take over the ranch and take care of your grandfather. Now that you are here, I feel relieved."

Looking at Thomas holding his hands and shaking them up and down, what's going on? Is he so happy that I took over the ranch?

Feng Ling turned his head and looked at his grandfather, who understood what he meant.

"My dear grandson, your Uncle Thomas is the mayor of this town and is responsible for all the major affairs of the town. Now a lot of young people are leaving Mineral Town to live in big cities. Of course he is happy to have young blood joining Mineral Town."

After hearing his grandfather's explanation, Feng Ling finally understood why Thomas lost his composure. It was the same experience as before he traveled through time. As more and more young people left, the elderly were left alone in their hometown.

"It's not a loss tonight, it's not a loss at all. I was planning to persuade your grandfather again tonight. He had been a little relenting a few days ago, but I didn't expect that he would actually wait for you to come."

"Ah, Uncle Thomas, if you leave this ranch to me, I may not be able to do it well."

Feng Ling thought back to the big ranch in his memory of the game. Oh my god, he didn't have a partner to chase the wind, so he was afraid that it would be too far to walk there on foot.

"It's okay, take your time, everything will be fine. I'll bring you a new partner tomorrow and go through the formalities for you."

Thomas patted Feng Ling's shoulder again:

"With such a strong body, I believe you can do it."

"Okay, old friend, I'm going to leave now. You guys eat first."

"Come on, Thomas."

Feng Qingyang invited them to join in. Looking at the food on the table, Thomas did not refuse. He picked up a pair of chopsticks from the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of bitter vegetable with his chopsticks, took a bite, then put it down and said.

"Haha, this means I've eaten. Actually, I came here after eating. I was too busy during the day and had to go back quickly, otherwise it would be too dark and difficult to walk on the road."

Thomas took a bite, then smiled and refused the request to dine together, then walked out the door. Feng Ling hurriedly followed him.

Outside, a white horse was snorting,

She swung her ponytail out of boredom and lowered her head to eat the grass at the door.

"Uncle Thomas, please go slowly. With this good horse carrying you, it won't be a problem for you to get home in time."

Thomas turned over and rode on the white horse, smiling and saying:

"Okay, Feng Ling, you should get up a little earlier tomorrow, and I will try to get there earlier."

Feng Ling waved his hands vigorously and watched the man and the horse gallop away.

Everything was quiet under the starry sky, and the view in the wilderness was excellent. A tall horse, four hooves treading fire, I didn't expect that the horseshoes of the white horse were made of magic stones, just like some people like to install cursors on the wheels of their beloved cars before traveling through time, which shine brightly when driving fast.

And this guy, with his four hooves stepping on fire, looks like a ball of dancing flame from a distance. In one word, handsome!

“Is Thomas gone?”

"He's gone, grandpa. Let's eat. The food is getting cold. Let's eat the meat together."

Feng Ling found the oil storage barrel according to his memory. It was too dangerous to put it in the living area, so he had to move it out tomorrow.

Feng Ling took a small spoon and took out a small amount of kerosene, opened the lampshade, and added some to the wick. Fortunately, although there was no electric light, the existence of the kerosene lamp still made Feng Ling quite satisfied.

Candles had to be purchased in town. Thomas knew that Feng Ling's grandfather had difficulty walking, so he bought him a bucket of kerosene. When needed, he could just scoop it up with a small spoon and add it in.

Watching Feng Ling skillfully taking out kerosene from the oil barrel in the corner to refuel, Feng Qingyang said while eating:

"Feng'er, your decision to stay this time was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, was it?"

Feng Ling quickly put the lampshade back on, then walked over to Feng Qingyang and sat down to eat together, then said:

"Grandpa, don't worry. I thought about it for a year before making this decision. There's not much difference between being out there and back home. In fact, there's more room for development here."

“The Principality of Huaxia has an increasing demand for scientific research and development of crops. After reducing foreign wars, the Principality has become more and more obsessed with improving internal quality.

Before coming here this time, my strength was also upgraded to that of an intermediate swordsman. The source of the breakthrough was the power of the newly researched flame fruit. After so long, I finally became an intermediate swordsman. I spent half of my savings. I also had a small boat, but it capsized. Alas. "

"Flame fruit?"

Feng Qingyang's expression seemed to be lost in memories. When he was young, he was also a magic swordsman. However, as time passed, he grew older and could no longer wield the giant sword in the corner. However, the old man never slacked off in its maintenance.

"Feng'er, go to the corner of the east room and get the giant sword."

"Okay grandpa."

Not knowing what grandpa wanted to do, Feng Ling walked into the east room. There were only two rooms in this small, shabby house. The east room was grandpa's bedroom. Feng Ling walked to the corner and saw the giant sword that grandpa had mentioned.

"My goodness, it's so big, can I lift it?"

Feng Ling walked over and lifted it with one hand, but there was no response. Then he grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, half squatted down, and exerted force with his body.

"rise!"

"Wow, it's so heavy. Such a heavy sword. Hmm, I can check its properties."

Looking at the giant sword in front of him, Feng Ling found that when he concentrated his mind to check the status of the sword, a panel popped up.
