Chapter 129: The Older Adopted Brother
Driving out of the horse farm, they headed towards the outskirts of Los Angeles, found a secluded spot with no one around, and stopped the car. They opened the trailer door and loaded the mischievous bag and the goat into the space.
The mischievous bag suddenly stunned, then saw such a large piece of grassland, and happily jumped lightly, looking very excited. Ju An quickly grabbed the reins and led the mischievous bag out of the yard, then untied its reins. As soon as the reins were untied, a long neigh was heard, and it started to run wildly. As for the little goat, Ju An tied it under an apple tree, but only lengthened the rope, without giving it the same freedom as the mischievous bag. Watching his first pure-blood horse galloping wildly on the grassland in space, he felt very satisfied, looking forward to the mischievous bag developing well in space and surprising people when brought out.
After a while, he got out of the car and restarted it, driving into the city to return the car to the rental company. Then he walked back to his hotel room with a carefree stride.
For the next seven or eight days, Ju An would call the ranch during the day and then spend the rest of the day playing with Tiao Qi Bao in the virtual space. After a few days, Tiao Qi Bao had grown five or six centimeters taller, and when Ju An measured him again, he found that his shoulder height had reached 1.65 meters, looking quite majestic. After measuring Tiao Qi Bao's height, Ju An called Thomas and told him that he had spent over $7,000 to buy a pure-blood horse, which would be delivered to the ranch in a few months. Old Thomas responded with a string of "no"s on the phone, saying that Ju An must have been scammed, and that there was no way he could have bought a pure-blood horse for that price. Ju An burst out laughing at this.
At night, accompanied by Molly, just thinking of leaving Los Angeles, I heard that Molly had a two-day break, and the two rented a small boat to go fishing. When Molly went back to work, Ju An packed her bags and returned to the ranch.
Out of the airport. Felt Montana's fresh air and stretched my waist. No one was notified to Thomas that I would be back today, so no one came to pick me up at the airport, and I took a taxi directly back to the ranch.
The driver had just stopped the car when he saw a fat bear rushing out of the house, startling him: "Oh my god! There's actually a bear!"
Ju An hastily pulled out the money from his pocket and handed it to the driver, smiling and saying: "Don't worry, I won't bite you. It's my own pet, no need to find it." After hearing the driver say thank you, he picked up his luggage and pushed open the car door. As soon as he got out of the car, Teddy grabbed Ju An's leg with a big hug. The fluffy head kept rubbing against Ju An, who patted Teddy's head and looked at Wu Song, who was also walking over with small steps, making "hiss" sounds and pointing at Teddy, seemingly wanting to accuse him of something.
The taxi driver rolled down the window halfway and said to Ju An, "Hey! Buddy. You're really bold, actually raising a bear and a monkey at home." Ju An looked at the driver with a surprised face and smiled, "My brother hasn't told you that there are also two eagles and two mountain lions."
Watching the taxi drive away, Ju An thought of pulling his leg and walking back to the house. Who knew Teddy wouldn't let go? Now this guy was quite heavy, making it a bit difficult for Ju An to pull his leg. After comforting him for a while, he finally let go of Ju An's leg, leaving his pants covered in drool.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a wicker basket on top of the gun cabinet, and on top of the basket was an even larger hood with netting. Two small eagles were perched inside, and I thought to myself, "Wow, Second Brother has really outdone himself!" He had even woven a nest for the two little golden eaglets. As soon as I lifted up the hood, the two little guys immediately became lively, strutting around on their short legs, walking towards the edge of the nest. The small black spots on their bodies were more numerous than before, which meant they were about to grow out their feathers. Seeing some small pieces of meat next to them, I picked up a few and fed them to the two little eaglets. Who knew that after eating half a piece, they would stop eating and start hiding? It seemed like they had eaten too much and were feeling full!
Put the lid of Xiaoying's nest back on, carrying luggage and following two guys upstairs, throwing away luggage and entering the space to get a bucket of fruit for the two guys. Just as the bucket was put down, Teddy climbed onto the bucket, stretched his head into it, and started eating the fruit inside, then grabbed one and squatted beside the bucket to eat it up. Wu Song casually picked one up and peeled it with his mouth.
Ju An threw himself onto the bed, twisted a few times, and said repeatedly, "It's still comfortable at home." Before he finished speaking, he heard Er Zhuang's voice coming from downstairs: "An Ge, is that you back?"
He hastily got up, went downstairs and said to Er Zhuang at the door: "Hmm! I'm back, thank you for taking care of my little ones these days. By the way, where did my two little mountain lions go?"
Second Brother rubbed his head and said with a silly smile: "It's nothing, just coming back two or three times a day. Compared to my old place, the ranch is like heaven now. Those two little mountain lions are now being led by a cowherding dog."
"Hmm!" Wu An asked strangely: "How did you guys do it? I tried for a while, but the mother dog didn't want to bring these two little ones either."
The two strong men laughed and said: "Old Hu's trick worked, saying that if we apply enough milk to the small lion's body, the dog will be fed milk, we tried it, and it was indeed fed".
"Alright, young fellow, you've handled this matter efficiently. I suppose I don't have to take care of these two little rascals every day now. Let's go and take a look."
Er Zhuan led Ju An to the granary, and when they opened the door, it was even more crowded than before. The granary was filled with hay for winter storage, and there were piles of sacks everywhere. Ju An touched one of them and felt that it was filled with grain, probably corn. Er Zhuan explained: "Thomas bought some winter corn and oats, part of which is stored here, and the rest is stored in another granary on the east side."
"Got it," said Ju An, nodding his head. "What about the little mountain lions?" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Er Zhuang point to a nearby cave made of stacked sacks. At the entrance of the cave, Ju An saw a female flower cow dog that seemed to have just given birth, and two small mountain lions drinking milk from her. The flower cow dog glanced at Ju An before turning back to lick one of the small dogs on its back. The two mountain lions were clearly larger than the newborn puppies next to them and had easily taken over the best positions. One of them even had a small puppy crawling on its head, trying to push it away from the nipple. However, this little guy was barking up the wrong tree - the two foster brothers next to it were much stronger. After struggling for half a day without success, the little puppy could only whimper and crawl towards the front of its mother's nipples, trying to snatch milk from its siblings' mouths.
"Can these two guys eat enough?" Ju An asked after watching for a while, if not enough, the two little guys should be separated, so as not to starve one of the little dogs.
"It's just enough to drink, and fortunately our cow dog is quite big, if not it would really not be enough for the two little guys to drink, and the two little guys can already follow the mother dog to eat some meat food. Thomas estimates that when the puppies are full moon, these two little guys should also be weaned." Er Zhuang explained with a smile.
Jū ān nodded, "Good job on weaning, otherwise I'd really worry about starving the little dog to death." Then he touched his forehead and cursed, "This weaning is just saying that these two little guys are going to eat meat now. Calculating this way, it's not even as good as drinking milk. How come there are only foodies at home?"
After a while, Er Zhuang was about to continue herding cattle, and Ju An also closed the door of the granary and returned to the house. As soon as she went upstairs, she saw that her bedroom was filled with fruit, and Teddy had already knocked over a small bucket, rolling out some fruit. Wu Song saw Ju An come up and pointed at Teddy, calling out "hiss, hiss". Teddy, this foolish goods, didn't react at all, eating an apricot in his hand.
The fruit was put back into the small bucket, and then the bucket was returned to its original place. Only a few fruits were taken out and handed over to the two guys, making Teddy unable to pick any, so he became honest.
I moved the nests of the two little eagles to a new spacious place, so that the two little guys can grow up quickly and I can save some energy. If not for taking care of them every day, it would be annoying.
Then casually got some lunch for myself, and went upstairs to lie down on the bed to take a nap. This nap lasted until after 3 pm before I woke up. It's really true that there are all kinds of masters and pets. When Ju An woke up, Teddy was curled up at the edge of Ju An's bed, still snoring away. Wu Song, on the other hand, as soon as he heard Ju An's movements, woke up, then followed Ju An to the bathroom to wash his face, leaving Wu Song in the bedroom watching Teddy.
Here is the translation:
Juw An rode down to the stable, whistled and summoned Bean Grass to his side. After a warm greeting with the horse, he saddled up and rode out to inspect his cattle herd, which now numbered over 30,000 head. Juw An's inspection range had expanded several times over since buying the ranch. For the first time, he crossed a small stream on the east side of the ranch, where the clear water barely reached Bean Grass's knees. The horse easily waded through and after a while, they saw Lawrence and his men driving their cattle herd. After exchanging greetings with the cowboys and listening to Lawrence's report, Juw An turned his horse around and headed back home.
Finally saw the gray cattle group that Wayne was hurrying to, which was next to the tl gray cattle group that had just been named not long ago. Looking at this group of cows, there were actually three cow dogs, Hu Tou and Suan Tou, as well as Pi Dan, all of whom were here. After chatting with Wayne for a while, I felt that Old Thomas truly valued this batch of cows. This configuration was a cowboy with three cow dogs taking care of fifty cows, and it was an independent pasture near the water tank on the ranch. Wayne explained that Thomas said the grass here was the best, so he set aside the gray cattle group separately. The water tank was also where each month would release a bucket of space water, raising a group of geese and ducks. Now the geese and ducks have multiplied quite a bit, swimming lively in the water tank.
Riding on the bean grass, it walked in a circle. The bean grass was always like a king, and as soon as it saw the horse, it raised its head high, with the characteristic high-stepping gait of Friesland, showing off its splendor, just like a king inspecting his territory. An Qi found it strange that the bean grass had suddenly become like this.
