Chapter 61: White picked up several heads of cattle

  Watching the figures of his parents disappear at the boarding gate, Ju An returned to his own waiting room and waited for the flight to Bozeman. Ju An's plan was to fly to Bozeman first, rent a car and drive back to the ranch, and then return the car to the car rental in Lewistown the next day.

  When the plane that Jing'an was riding on arrived at Poznan Airport, it was already sunset. After leaving the airport, he found a taxi and went straight to the car rental company. Under the enthusiastic accompaniment of the lady at the car rental company, Jing'an rented a Chevrolet and after completing all the formalities, he drove out of Poznan, which was lit up like daylight, opened the navigator, and headed towards Lewistown along Highway 90.

  Juwon was driving alone for the first time at night, and it was a long distance. Because he had watched some American TV dramas in his home country before, many murders and rapes happened on deserted highways. Of course, if there were girls who wanted to rape Juwon, he wouldn't be afraid - if they were pretty, he might even say "eonbaby!" What Juwon cared about more was his life.

  Yesterday evening, I had already put the left wheel and 200 rounds of ammunition into space. Standard bullets were loaded, in case of encountering robbers in the wild, enter the space at the first time, then flash out and kill the robbers. If there are many opponents, just squat inside for a few hours until dawn. I have space on Handan Mountain.

  After driving for more than half an hour on the highway, the music in the car was all country music, Taylor Swift's voice had been ringing all the way. The damn DJ seemed to want to have a Swift night or something. After a while, Ju An switched to a news channel, changing the flavor. On this damn highway, not to mention robbers, you can't even see a ghostly figure. In half an hour, I've only met two cars, and when Ju An met them, both drivers happily waved at Ju An and shouted "hello". When Ju An waved back, the two guys had already sped away with their tails between their legs. So Ju An decided that next time he meets a car, he'll first stretch out his hand, so as not to let foreigners think that old China lacks quality.

  After driving for more than 10 minutes, Ju An stopped at a gas station, had a few drinks, and ate a hamburger to fill his stomach. He got back on the road, drove for a while, and soon found himself in a dense forest. The highway passed through this vast woodland, with towering trees on both sides. Driving through it at night made Ju An feel a bit eerie. After driving for a while, he had no choice but to stop the car, turn on the rear lights, get out of the vehicle, and prepare to urinate by the side of the road because, unfortunately, he had drunk too much water.

  Just after pouring water, I was about to get back in the car when I suddenly heard a "moo" sound coming from the woods. After getting into the car and listening carefully again, I indeed heard several more "moos". If the windows were closed, I wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.

  He took out a flashlight from the car, felt for his glasses and the left wheel of the snake-shaped bicycle lock in the dark space, and walked towards where the cow was calling. After walking for a while, he found several cows with several half-grown calves crowded together in the woods. He went over to take a look, then shouted twice: "Is anyone there? Whose cows are these?" Having shouted twice without getting any response from nearby, he shone his flashlight on the cows to see if they had any marks on them. If they did, he thought about calling the police to do a good deed and be an honest young man. Although Jian An had basically put every coin he picked up into his own pocket since middle school, anything over 50 cents was something he had only ever picked up in his dreams - in reality, he had never seen anyone drop that much money.

  After carefully observing the cows, I found that these few heads of cattle were somewhat similar to the North American bison I had seen before, but there were also some differences. None of the larger cows had any marks or anything on their bodies. After thinking for a moment, I decided not to be a good boy and put the few cows into my own space. The few cows that had just entered the space were still quite tense, with the four small calves tightly clinging to their mother cow, while the larger cows looked at me nervously. After a while, they found that I didn't have any malicious intentions, and the surroundings were full of the temptation of lush grass, so they began to eat comfortably. Only when I saw that the cows were fine did I flash out of the space.

  When Ju'an walked to the side of the car, he saw another car stopped behind him. An old foreigner had just gotten out of the car and was inspecting Ju'an's car. A small head stuck out from inside the old foreigner's car and shouted: "Dad, is there someone in the car?"

  The old American turned around and said: "Stay in the car, there's no one inside, but the engine is on, it should be nearby."

  "I'm fine."

  Watching Ju An come out of the woods with a flashlight, Lao Mei finally let out a sigh of relief, putting the gun in his hand back into its holster and saying: "I thought something had happened, do you need any help?"

  "Nothing, just drank too much water earlier and went to relieve myself in the woods back there," he said with a smile to the middle-aged American.

  "Buddy! Next time don't run so far, or I'll have to call the police. I thought something had happened to the car's owner!" The old American said with a smile.

  "Thanks, next time I'll be more careful and won't run so far."

  The old American shook hands and said: "You can call me Doug, we're going to Billings."

  "My name is An, and I'm going to Lewistown," replied Juan.

  "We parted ways at the intersection ahead, good luck friend." The old American waved his hand and walked towards his own car.

  "You're lucky too," said Ju An, and then got into the car. After the middle-aged American's car drove away, he followed up.

  It was almost three and a half hours later that Gwan returned to the ranch. By the time he arrived, it was already past 11 o'clock at night. Hearing the noise outside, Old Thomas and Andrew Wain took their long guns and went out of the house, wondering who it could be.

  "It's a pleasant surprise," Thomas said with a smile, "We heard the car and the dog didn't bark, so we came out to take a look. We thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow, but you're back tonight."

  "Been here for so long, first time trying to open the car for so long, feels pretty good, drove from Bozeman for over three hours." Seeing Jia'an, Andrew and Wayne put away their guns, waved goodbye and turned back into the house.

  Thomas laughed and said: "How does it feel? In the past when I was young, I drove to California, it took several days."

  "Wow, you're amazing! I've been driving for three hours and I'm already feeling tired."

  Thomas laughed a few times and then bid Juan a good night before returning to his room.

  He stopped the car outside, opened the door, and Wu Song excitedly ran to Ju An's side, then went back to the bedroom and put the revolver in the bedside cabinet. He didn't want to leave the fruit on the tree in the space, so he left Wu Song outside and flashed into the space. There, he saw that several cows had fully adapted to life in the space. The calves were running around happily, while the larger cows were leisurely eating grass. When they saw Ju An, they mooed at him a couple of times. After seeing that the cows were fine, Ju An picked up a shrimp cage and put it into the pond in the space, planning to catch some shrimp to eat tomorrow. Although he had eaten shrimp from the outside ponds before, the flavor was still not as good as the ones in the space, which had a fresh and tender taste that couldn't be replicated outside. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to open up the land in the space, as the grass grew too quickly.

  After washing up in the space, Ju An was still thinking about what else he could do with the space besides growing grass. He couldn't just raise cows for nothing, and he himself couldn't eat that much anyway. Moreover, taking out such a large cow would be a troublesome thing to do. After some thought, he suddenly realized that there was a big tree in the space. If the space's trees could grow, then why not fruit trees? As soon as this idea occurred to him, Ju An's heart felt like it had grown grass - if only he had seeds, he would have immediately gone in to try it out.

  Thinking of this, Ju An prepared to try a new method. He took several potatoes and entered the space, putting them in the soil enclosure for a while. Immediately, several tender buds emerged on the surface. He cut the potatoes into several pieces, each with a tender bud, then dug a small hole in the soil and buried the potatoes. Before long, the sprouts grew out, but after a while, they turned yellow and died. This left Ju An disappointed, as he tried several times with the same result. The grass was too overbearing; apart from the large trees in the yard and the vines on the fence, it seemed like nothing else could be accommodated. However, thinking about it, it wasn't all bad. If the grass weren't so overbearing, Ju An would probably have a headache competing with the wild grass outside the space.

  The disappointed potato planting failed, went out of the room, walked downstairs, and took a big apple from the fruit basket on the tea table. While eating, he went upstairs and handed over the remaining fruit to Wu Song. In a short while, Wu Song ate the apple, leaving only the core behind. It can be said that Wu Song eats fruit very cleanly, leaving behind only a core the size of a glass ball.

  Praised Wu Song's spirit of cherishing food, took out a few seeds from the fruit core and entered the space.

  He first put a seed in the soil enclosure, soaked it for a while, and waited for the sprout to come out before moving it outside to dig a hole and plant it. However, after a while, it still died. Jū ān chose another sprout, put it in the soil enclosure, and soaked it again. This time, when the sprout grew taller than the pants leg, he moved it outside, and this time the survival period was much longer. After trying two more seeds, he found that the higher the seedling grew, the longer it survived. Finally, with the last seed, Jū ān waited until it had grown into a small tree in the soil enclosure before transplanting it outside the fence, covering it with soil, and watering it. The little tree quickly grew up, and after watching for half a day, he didn't see any signs of death. He waited as the fruit tree grew taller and taller, until it reached the size of a sea bowl mouth, at which point its growth stopped. It was over three meters tall, a short and sturdy apple tree that lived very tenaciously, finally free from the threat of weeds.
