In the next two or three days, Ju An spent time at the ranch and two old men, Thomas Lawrence, prepared the fence for the new ranch. The news about the fence for the new ranch spread quickly in the town, and some people who relied on odd jobs to make a living were happy.
Get up, Ju'an will definitely need a lot of manpower to do this. So many fences provide them with a lot of opportunities, at least a few months of work. The smarter cowboys began to ask when the ranch will find people.
, I want to get a position in the ranch, the salary in the ranch is too attractive.
After signing the document and sending a check at the same time, more than 20,000 acres of land were in the name of Xishuihe Ranch. The next work for Ju An was to write checks and use the wood needed to build fences for the ranch.
, let alone the town of Lewis, there are several people in the nearby towns.
Small lumber factories have begun to produce Ju'an fences. The thick-mouthed stakes are covered with ocher-colored bark and coated with anti-corrosion materials. Half of them have to be driven into the ground. Four slightly smaller horizontal rails are set up between each stake.
, providing at least several months of work to five or six small processing factories.
A new cowboy dormitory has also begun to be built. This time, there is no help from the cowboys. Instead, a small construction company was hired to build houses for the community. There are seventeen or eight people with good craftsmanship. In Ju'an's new community, as long as it is made of wooden
The houses are basically built by several people, and the quality is trustworthy.
Early in the morning, Ju An drove his pickup truck towards the construction site where he started work not far from his new home. The first pile was going to be laid today. Thomas and Lawrence would be there, and of course the rancher Ju An was indispensable.
When we arrived at the place where construction started, piles of wooden fences had been piled up in the new place. Several pile drivers were also in place, and all the construction workers were here. Not only these, but some uninvited people also came to the new pasture.
On the side, they were all carrying slogans. Those who opposed Ju'an's purchase of new land were those who wanted to save the wild horses. Well, there were also some: "Let the wild horses have a home!" and "Don't take our land."
There is also a horse head drawn next to the slogan.
Of course, the more sensational ones include "Save us!" "We are going extinct in this country!" and a series of various slogans. Sixty or seventy people in their twenties and thirties don't know where the protection is coming from.
That's an organization. Anyway, there are so many such groups here in the United States. They don't understand anything about making way for economic development, and the national consciousness is very poor. Moreover, there are millions of wild horses in the United States, and Ju An didn't notice it.
At what point is it going to become extinct?
Watching Ju An get out of the pickup truck and say something to the workers, the protesters recognized him and were sure that the black-haired man was the rancher, so they shouted louder and some even physically attacked Ju An.
Anli ignored them and glanced at the boundary of the ranch. There were white dots every three meters. This was where the stakes were driven.
Ju An glanced at the crowd of protesters standing on the road and walked directly in front of Thomas and Lawrence: "How are the preparations? When everything is ready, let's start work!".
Lawrence nodded and replied: "Everything is ready, just waiting for you to come!". Then he waved to the workers. The workers worked in pairs to lift the piles and erected them on the white spots. Several crawlers
The pile driver was started, and the big hammer was stretched out. The sound of bump! bump! bump! was heard, and the wooden piles stabilized by the workers were stretched out little by little into the ground. In less than two minutes, one wooden pile was
It was driven into the ground and exposed to a height of about 1.3 meters.
Next is the second pile. Thomas and Lawrence are going to take advantage of the high temperature to drive the pile down. If it snows, it will be troublesome to drive the pile into the frozen ground.
The voices of the protesters on the roadside became louder and louder. Lawrence glanced at Ju An and turned to Ju An and said: "An! Don't worry, they are just a bunch of idiots!".
Ju An smiled and looked at the demonstrators who were standing outside the ranch and said to Lawrence: "Do I need to care about them? You see, they also understand the law and are standing outside my place to demonstrate. Let them
Yelling, how can it reflect the democracy of the country? I don’t know if I have brought enough water. By the way, I should inform the little girls in the town and ask them to come over and sell drinks. I guess they will shout for a long time.
Thirsty, this is really a good business!".
Lawrence and Thomas, two old cowboys, laughed after hearing Ju An's words: "You are still worried that the demonstrators are thirsty! Didn't you see that they all came in cars? They had already brought enough water and food. These people
This is not the first time I have done this, I have experience!”.
"No one from the town will come to protest against me," Ju An said after thinking for a moment and looking at the protesting crowd.
Thomas glanced at the crowd: "No! They are all new faces. They are probably all well-fed ruffians from the city. Who in this town has such leisure time? All the idle people come here to work." The old man smiled
Pointing at the workers, he followed
He curled his lips, and said what he disliked most about the old cowboys was that they did not work all day long and interfered with others: "Today you protest against the killing of sheep, and tomorrow you protest against the killing of cows. If you don't kill cows and sheep, what will these idiots eat? If you have time to find some work,
Working hard is better than anything else."
Ju An smiled and continued to watch the pile driver driving the piles. After a while, he heard the sound of police cars. He looked up and saw two police cars from the town approaching. They stopped not far away and stopped on the side of the road. Qiba got off.
A policeman, these policemen got out of the car and did not move. They just stood by the car and looked at the demonstrators.
The town's police chief walked up to a few people in Ju'an, shook hands and said, "How are they? They're not causing trouble, are they?"
"No! They're all good," Ju An said with a smile, then glanced at the crowd of demonstrators. He was probably a little tired from shouting for a while, so his voice was much lower: "Why are you here? Are you afraid of causing conflicts?
”.
"I was afraid that the demonstrators would be irrational and rush into the ranch and be beaten by the cowboys, so I rushed over to defend them. I just got a call from the Bozeman Police Department and rushed over," the police chief said with a smile.
Ju An thought for a moment and said, "They all come from Bozeman? It's not a close journey. These guys are really powerful!".
"These guys have been protesting for a year, and they have almost invaded all of Montana. Last year, they went to Helena to protest the ranch acquisition. They broke into the ranch and were beaten up by a group of hot-tempered cowboys. Look,
Now you've learned your lesson. At the beginning there were some media reports, but now you see that even the media has no interest in it," the police chief said with a smile.
"These people are so brave when they rush into other people's pastures!" Thomas looked at it and said, "That's when someone with a good temper will shoot him if he has a bad temper." After saying this, he patted the gun hanging on his waist.
Revolver, Ju An then realized that the old man had brought the gun over.
Ju An quickly said to the old man: "Come in and beat them out. Don't use the gun!". Although the law allows shooting people who enter private property without the owner's permission, he was bloody because of the protest.
It's always bad to get wet. Just looking at the small bodies of those protesters, I guess two people tied together are no match for these cowboys who have been working all year round. Forget about shooting skills. Every little cowboy has followed them since they were five or six years old.
My father was playing with guns, and these city boys were eight blocks away.
"It's just a scare, just shoot or something," Thomas said with a smile.
A few people chatted with the police chief for a while, and then the police chief returned to the police car. A group of police officers leaned on the car and stared at the demonstrators, lazily conserving their energy in the spirit of being immovable until the enemy is immovable.
After a while, stakes were driven into the area, and Ju An and his group also moved to continue driving the piles. The demonstrators also moved together, and the entire group of people cheered and moved a distance of 700 to 800 meters.
It lasted until noon, when Ju An and Thomas returned home together. Dinah and Lawrence's wife prepared lunch together. Dinah stewed a pot of beef soup, fried rice for about ten people, added shredded pork and
Green beans, and of course some bread that the cowboys like to eat
It's your choice. Ju An and Thomas put the food in the car. Teddy was lying at the door rolling around in boredom from time to time. Dinah's little lion went to sleep, and Nini went to school, which made Teddy a little bored. Look
When Ju An and Thomas were about to go out, they fought hard to get the car to follow them.
Ju An had no choice but to let Teddy climb into the car. Before he could close the car door, Hans and Jinbao also ran over and got into the car. He took these three guys to the place where the workers were working.
All the animals got out of the car at once. Everyone in the town knew that Ju An had a brown bear that was very friendly to people and had never hurt anyone. He was not too scared when he saw Teddy.
Teddy became a little happy when he saw more people outside. He stood up and waved to the protesting crowd outside. Hans and Jinbao were lying in the grass, staring at the crowd outside.
A big brown bear made the entire protesting crowd suddenly lose their voice. Teddy waved and sat down. He was slightly dissatisfied with the lack of response from the crowd. People in the new community all touched their heads when they saw Teddy, while the little kid
They rushed up directly. The group of people outside were not enthusiastic at all. They yelled at the crowd twice and stood in front of the wooden pile and wanted to take pictures of the wooden pile. Fortunately, Ju An noticed it and yelled at Teddy: "Teddy"
!Don’t touch the wooden stakes”.
Teddy slapped him, and his current weight of nearly 300 kilograms was not just for fun. If he used force, he could at least crack the wooden stake. Ju An walked up to Teddy, touched his head and said, "This wooden stake cannot be used."
Play, just play here and don’t scare others." After that, he continued to walk to the pickup truck to have lunch.
When Hans and Jinbao saw Teddy lying down lazily basking in the sun, they also emerged from the grass. Two mountain lions weighing nearly 100 kilograms completely petrified the crowd. A group of people outside
The man opened his mouth wide and couldn't make any sound, watching the three animals licking each other's fur.
The three guys cleaned up each other and lay down on the grass. Teddy lay with his head facing the crowd, his two small eyes looking at each other from time to time. Hans and Jinbao were more alert and raised their heads.
He looked at the demonstrators with his head wagging and his tail wagging.
While eating, Thomas said to Ju An: "These three are much more useful than those policemen. They calmed them down as soon as they appeared."
Lawrence said with a smile: "If you see Teddy in the wild, most people will probably wet their pants out of fear. Their behavior is considered good." After saying this, he looked at the crowd and laughed.
