Chapter 144 First Snow
After hearing Er Zhuang's words, Ju An patted Er Zhuang's arm and smiled: "This winter, we'll just hunt a few more. When the time comes, we can get one for each of your parents, and that will be it."
Thomas followed with a smile and said, "Actually, deerskin is nothing. When there's an opportunity, we can hunt black bears, their skin is better and warmer." He then added, "However, the hunting license for bears is issued very few each year, and the price is much higher."
"It doesn't matter, if there's a chance later on, we can just get one then. Anyway, we're all in the mountains, where can we run to? Are you saying that when we go bear hunting, we'll pack our bags and flee overnight?"
Several people nearby heard it and burst out laughing, everyone chatted like this, not long after a complete deerskin was stripped off by the army, following which the army began to deal with the internal organs and so on. Thomas took over the deerskin, shaving off the small pieces of meat left on it. After everyone finished processing, they started dividing up the deer, each person got quite a bit, the other half would be sent to the east tomorrow morning by Du Hu, for everyone to taste as well.
The following days passed easily, and the interaction with Diana was smooth. There were no worries about the ranch, and every day was spent riding horses and occasionally thinking about making some delicious food to satisfy their cravings. As the weather got colder, Diana didn't want to run around to restaurants or movie theaters every day either. In fact, Ju An also wanted to change up the dating style, but in a small town where you could walk from one end to the other in 10-20 minutes, what kind of fun could there be for Ju An?
The last two people discussed and changed the appointment location to their home, with food and drink, thinking of watching a movie when buying a disc, two people snuggled on the sofa to watch. Of course, the number of appointments at home is much larger than at Diana's home. Marcos was too serious, which is consistent with Ju An's impression of Germans. Stereotyped doing things meticulously, also made Ju An afraid to see him, but Diana told Ju An that Marcos liked her very much and had praised her several times in front of Diana, and Ju An didn't think this future father-in-law liked herself at all.
However, such dates are quite enjoyable for Ju An. Every time Diana comes over, she will actively help Ju An cook, and the two of them in the kitchen are tender and loving. Try this one. Let me try that one. It takes at least half an hour to make a meal, and Diana especially loves the two big cats. The first time she heard the names of the big cat brothers, she changed their names. The bigger one is called Hans, and the smaller one is called Brook. Finally, under Ju An's repeated persuasion, the smaller one was named Jinbao, which means auspicious in Chinese. Even Diana took Hans and Jinbao back home for a few days, and the two little things also went to visit their relatives. When they were sent back, Diana praised the two little things, saying that they never bite things randomly and always choose to go outside when solving their excretion problems. Marcos also likes the two little things very much. As soon as he sits down, he will hug the two cute foodies in his arms, feeding them this and that. The extent of their pampering has surpassed that of Marcos' flower dog. According to Diana, the flower dog especially dislikes these two things coming home and will bark frantically whenever it sees them.
As for the two small golden eagles, their feathers had slowly become plump and were taken out of the space by Ju An. Although their feathers had grown well, they were not yet ready to fly, at most they could only flutter around on the ground.
It's strange that the golden eagles I raised are not entirely yellow, but have black feathers on their bodies, with white feathers under their wings. Their sharp beaks and claws are exceptionally fierce, especially when they stand on the armrest of the sofa, lift their heads to stare at something, their eyes are extremely sharp, showing the majesty of birds of prey.
The two golden eagles made Old Thomas and Lawrence nod their heads in praise, a good eagle. Of course, these two so-called good eagles now only know how to take small steps, wandering around the house, taking small square steps, just like two street-wandering punks.
When they were first released, Hans and Jinbao tried to pounce on the two several times. Probably because they saw that these two guys were new, the two brothers wanted to give the Golden Eagle brothers a warning, but after being pecked twice, they left the two brothers far away. Later, Teddy got along well with the two Golden Eagles, and even allowed the two guys to get some meat from their own bowls. To know that the big cat brothers never had this treatment. As for Wu Song, the Golden Eagle brothers also dared not to provoke him. When Wu Song was angry, Teddy immediately pounced on him and pressed him to the ground. Teddy was not a gentle peck on the big cat brother's skin, but a thick-skinned and fat-bodied guy who would get more ferocious every time he pecked, and his roar would get louder and louder. After several times, the Golden Eagle brothers saw that Teddy Wu Song were very obedient and wouldn't often make mistakes again. Sometimes they would even use their heads to gently peck at the two men's bodies, trying to help them groom their fur. However, when it came to the mountain lion brothers, they didn't pretend to be polite, and the Golden Eagle brothers' skill of bullying the weak and fearing the strong was revealed.
Teddy and Wu Song were initially going to take them back for a couple of days. The first time, Ju An took them over to Dina's house for dinner, and then left the two of them there, driving back himself. On his way back, before he had even gone halfway, Ju An received a call from Dina. Teddy and Wu Song were standing at the door, staring in the direction that Ju An had left in, howling loudly and refusing to go inside. In the end, Ju An had to turn around and bring them back again. On the way back to the ranch, as he looked at Teddy and Wu Song sleeping peacefully on the passenger seat, snoring softly, he sighed: "These are truly steadfast revolutionary masses! Hans and Jinbao are just traitor material."
There are still about ten days until Christmas, and Montana has started to snow heavily. Overnight, the entire sky and earth were covered in a thick layer of white snow, leaving everyone stunned. As a child who grew up in the south, I had never seen such heavy snowfall before. The snowflakes fell from the sky like they were being poured down, covering everything in a thick layer that reached halfway up my knees in just one night. Even the cowboys on the ranch changed into their winter gear, and when I went out with them, I was dressed like a meatball. Old Thomas and Wayne wore only a little more clothing - windbreakers and cowboy pants - but were still able to ride their horses through the snow for hours while watching over the cattle. Even the cowboys' horses were covered in thick blankets.
Just after the snowfall, Anxi was particularly worried about his own cattle. This guy was thrown into the woods without any shelter or protection. Just after the snowfall, Anxi followed Thomas and a few others to check on the cattle, to see if there were any that had frozen to death or been injured. Who knew that after circling around the cattle, nothing was wrong, a bunch of cows were still swaying back and forth, digging through the snow, eating the grass under the snow. When Anxi opened up the snow to take a look, it was indeed as Thomas said, although the pasture had not turned green, the roots of the grass had already shown some signs of green.
Now the only thing that makes me feel at ease is that Comrade Teddy can hibernate like a normal bear, and when it's cold in winter, he can find a place to sleep for a few months, which would also save him some food. However, after observing him for a few days, I saw that this guy could eat and sleep well, and was in a state of great joy, and then Thomas said that there was another bear that didn't hibernate when food was particularly abundant. Looking at Teddy again, holding a big fruit and eating with relish, isn't he just that bear?
Moreover, this guy especially loves snow, and often goes out to play in circles. He particularly likes to hide his nose in the snow, then lie down with his body, putting his two front paws on either side of his body, and remaining still with his hind legs pushing against the ground. With a lazy expression, he uses his head to push the snow forward on both sides, leaving behind a trail of exposed dry grass on the ground. Because the snow is very thick, if you're not careful, all you can see on the snowy ground is Teddy's brown butt slowly moving forward.
Every time Teddy does this, the two little mountain lions have a new form of entertainment. The two small front paws grasp Teddy's large buttocks tightly, with one hanging on each side, and then the entire body is dragged along the ground, motionless, allowing Teddy to pull them. As soon as Teddy pulls, the two little things excitedly shout and scream, just like everyone playing roller coasters in an amusement park. It's unknown how Teddy's speed, which is similar to a dog's crawling pace, can make the two little ones so high, as if they've taken marijuana.
With this game, the three little ones can play for an afternoon. Wu Song doesn't really like going outside, although Diana got him a horse jacket and small open-crotch pants, and even put a small red hat on his head that Diana had modified from a Christmas hat, but he still doesn't like to go out and play in the snow, usually just staying indoors and not going out to play. At most, when the three things are playing wildly, he'll sit under the corridor and watch while eating fruit.
As for the two little golden eagles, let's not even mention them. They wouldn't even step out of the gate and especially liked to lean against the fireplace. In the end, Ju An had no choice but to move the nests of the two little things next to the fireplace. I don't know how wild eagles spend their winters, looking at the two little rascals, I estimate that if they went out, they wouldn't go far before freezing or starving to death. Moreover, they are very particular about eating and especially like to eat animal hearts and livers. The most delicious way is to add some salt and cook until three or four minutes are done, tender with a bit of blood. Fortunately, these two things are very cheap. Every time Diana comes, she will make them for the two rascals. Ju An puts them in to cook, thinking about it, they are cooked to three or four minutes, not thinking about it, they are fully cooked. Love to eat or not, so the relationship between the two things and Diana is slightly better.
Now that everything is fine, I can put my mind at ease and start thinking about finding an excuse to go out tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to take out the mischievous package from space. The mischievous package has now grown over 1.7 meters tall, with shiny black fur, strong limbs, especially the chest muscles that show extraordinary explosive power. Suddenly, its acceleration speed is much faster than bean grass, but it's not as durable as bean grass when running.
