Little Life on An American Ranch: Chapter 286 none of your business
Chapter 286 It's none of my business
Seeing Mrs. Anderson talking with a group of people for a while, and then frowning slightly, Jian Heng walked over, greeted the cowboys standing next to her, and asked, "What happened?" Is it gone?"
Mrs. Anderson replied: "The wolves attacked the bounty hunter camp in the Eagle Ranch. Even the bounty hunter and the cowboys were injured. The two seriously injured have been sent away by helicopter...".
"The wolves attacked the bounty hunter's camp?" Jian Heng really felt that it was too much, and the bounty hunters who thought they were tall and tall now in Jian Heng's heart have directly dropped from a semi-idol industry to a harmonious one. There are almost beggars on the street.
No matter how you say it, a group of bounty hunters got together and were attacked by wolves, which is a bit unreasonable.
Mrs. Anderson nodded: "Who would have thought of that!"
After speaking, Mrs. Anderson sighed softly, let alone her, all the cowboys present had never thought that such a thing would happen.
Generally speaking, wolves will avoid crowds. Attacking cattle on pastures is nothing new, and revenge is not a big deal. Everyone knows that wolves are narrow-minded, but a group of wolves attacking bounty hunters is entangled. The camp, that would be astonishing.
At this time, an old cowboy next to him said, "Who says it's not? Not only we didn't think of it, but the bounty hunters probably didn't think of it either!"
"It's more than I didn't expect that these people and the cowboys are busy celebrating the festival today. I heard that they all dressed up. I heard that they even held an anime-themed party, all dressed up as X-Men and The Avengers is indeed ironic enough, a group of superheroes were picked up by wolves," said a young cowboy.
It seems that the young cowboy doesn't like these bounty hunters.
"Don't talk nonsense," the old cowboy scolded the young man.
The young cowboy said: "This group of people are scum, why don't people say it?"
Clearly something unpleasant must have happened between the cowboy and the bounty hunter.
Jian Heng is not interested in knowing what happened between the young cowboy and the bounty hunter, and he is not even interested in knowing the injuries of the bounty hunters.
Just when Jian Heng was about to turn around and leave, a cowboy suddenly said, "The National Guard may be dispatched now!"
The United States is different from China. The United States is responsible for law and order in a mess. The highest level used is the National Guard. It is too troublesome to use the US military. To put it simply, the US military is external, and the National Guard is in charge of the United States. Domestically, the nature is almost a bit like our domestic armed police.
Hearing these words, Jian Heng suddenly stopped the desire to turn his head and leave: "No way?"
"Why not? Let's not mention the loss of several nearby pastures now, just look at how many people have been injured by the wolves so far, and it's time to call out the National Guard," said the old cowboy.
"These bounty hunters are useless," an old cowboy said disdainfully.
Mrs. Anderson said: "We still need to discuss what to do, this is not the answer!"
As soon as Jian Heng heard the discussion about how to deal with wolves, he immediately nodded to several people, then turned and left. For Jian Heng, he didn't want to participate in such a discussion at all. No one notified him in the morning, so why put his face on it now! Jian Heng has to make these people feel that I have a temper too, okay?
Seeing Jian Heng turn around and leave, Mrs. Anderson froze for a moment, then remembered the news she had received in the morning, a group of ranchers intentionally or unintentionally excluded Jian Heng. Thinking of this, Mrs. Anderson could only smile wryly. Shake your head.
Returning to the side of He Ye and the others, Jian Heng told what he had heard.
Barley asked, "What shall we do?"
"What can we do, they didn't ask us to discuss this matter, we just pretend we don't know, these wolves, whoever likes to fight, anyway, from now on, these wolves are not a cheap lamp!" Jian Heng Said.
He Ye opened his mouth to express everyone's aspirations: "These wolves are really smart!"
From the helicopter collision in the morning, to the raid on the bounty hunter camp at night when people are slack during the holidays, and causing so many people to be injured at once, everything put together does not seem like a pack of wolves. Come out, because ordinary wolves don't have such an IQ.
"It doesn't matter whether it's good or not, as long as it doesn't mess with us, we'll just stay and watch the show!" Jian Heng said.
After speaking, Jian Heng took a look at the chattering crowd. The original lively atmosphere was disappearing little by little. Everyone was whispering, and most of the original strong festive atmosphere disappeared at once, which made Jian Heng feel particularly boring.
"Let's go back?"
The two sisters, Barley and Wheat, looked around and nodded: "Go back!"
He Ye also nodded in agreement.
So they turned around and walked back together. As soon as Jian Heng and the others set off, Feng Sanzhu and Huang Xiaodong from the ranch also followed, but Zhang Jialiang and Zhao Wei didn't follow. Zhao Wei was clinging to his favorite girl, Zhang Jialiang. It was a hot fight with a woman who looked about 30 years old, and it seemed that there were activities in all likelihood tonight.
A group of people returned to the ranch. When they just opened the gate and were about to enter, they heard the sound of a car, and turned their heads to see a small car driving over.
"Happy Halloween!"
A man in his thirties stuck his head out of the car window and waved at Jian Heng.
Jian Heng looked at it and asked with a smile, "Aiden, when did you come back?"
Sitting in the car is Aiden Anderson, the second son of Mrs. Anderson. He is now living in Los Angeles. He is an actor. He is not doing very well. What kind of acting dream is he pursuing? People like Aiden live in Los Angeles That's quite a lot, there are young actors who want to become famous everywhere, as many as crucian carp crossing the river.
For someone like Aiden who can rely on performances for food and clothing, and can also support his wife and children, although life is a bit tight, he can be regarded as a good mix among actors.
"This morning, Chris, say hello to Uncle Gene," Aiden immediately said to his daughter in the car.
The little girl stuck her head out and greeted Jian Heng.
Jian Heng praised the little girl a few words, and then let them into the pasture. After the little girl got the candies in front of the house, Aiden took her to the next house.
Everyone went back to the ranch, watched TV and waited for the children to come to the door together. The children who came were mixed. At ten o'clock, Jian Heng and Damai went back to the house to sleep. , As for what other people do, it is not Jian Heng's willingness to take care of it.
As soon as he fell asleep at five o'clock, Jian Heng was woken up by the biological clock. He opened his eyes and saw that Da Mai was still sleeping beside him, and he was still sleeping boldly. Most of his body was hanging out, so he reached out to help Covering the quilt with Barley, Jian Heng got out of bed directly.
While entering the bathroom to take a shower, Damai walked in and began to wash, and thus the day’s life on the ranch began.
The work on the ranch is endless, and cattle and sheep will not stop pooping or eating grass because of the festival, so even if it is Halloween, the work that should be done on the ranch must be done, like this time, the sky has not yet By dawn, Toby had already returned to the ranch, leading Zhang Jialiang and Zhao Wei to work.
Jian Heng got up early to help out, first drove the cattle to the pasture, let them eat the grass under the snow, and went back to the stable to help with the work, because it was over earlier, Toby You can also go home earlier and stay with your family.
Soon barley and wheat joined in. The three of them were all wearing snowshoes and scooped up horse manure with a shovel in their hands.
"Hey, you got up so early?" Jian Heng asked in surprise when he saw Sun Siwei appearing in the stable before six o'clock.
Sun Siwei sighed: "Oh, don't talk about it, that Zhang Jialiang brought a woman over and moaned for almost half the night, and I don't know what this guy ate so hard, he finally stopped for less than half an hour, It's starting again!"
Jian Heng couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard it: "I said, why is Zhang Jialiang yawning continuously after working this morning!"
"When will you play with guns?" Sun Siwei yawned again and asked.
"I think you'd better go back and catch up on sleep. If you're like this, how dare I let you play with a gun? What if you hit someone?" Jian Heng said.
"I want to fall asleep too, but I can't!" Sun Siwei said.
"Would you like to shovel horse manure?" Jian Heng said.
Originally, Jian Heng just said something, but Sun Siwei nodded, so Jian Heng directly handed him the shovel in his hand, and took another one himself.
After working for less than half an hour, Sun Siwei was really sleepy, and fell asleep leaning against the wooden fence with a shovel.
Just as he was about to urge this guy to go back to sleep, his cell phone rang suddenly, and Jian Heng took it out to answer it, and suddenly a message stunned Jian Heng.
"What did you say, Old John was taken away?" Jian Heng exclaimed.
It was Old Walsh who called. He informed Jian Heng on the phone that John O'Brien, his neighbor, was taken away by the police. He also told Jian Heng about the ranch of O'Brien's family. It may not be possible.
"Are you sure this is the truth?" Jian Heng was still a little skeptical. Although he heard that the annoying old John O'Brien was involved in a Ponzi scheme last time, Jian Heng didn't expect the police to make such a move. quick. And it's still chosen to do it on this day, Halloween, don't these policemen have a rest?
When did the American police become so dedicated?
After listening to Old Walsh's rambling for a while, Jian Heng roughly understood that Old John was involved in a scam and was broken, and was targeted by the IRS. The old man was not only involved in a scam, but also tax evasion and the like. Several charges.
