Cows walk very slowly. If someone has never seen a cow walking, you can try walking as if it were a walk. Don't think that this speed is a cow walking. Cows walk a few beats slower than a human walking.
The cattle move very slowly, but the cattle driver is not slow at all, because you have to run forward and backward together with your horse to control the movement of the entire herd.
If there are calves in the herd, it will be even more busy.
A calf is like a naughty child in a herd. It has just been born for a month or two, and is almost like a human child of about three or four years old. Children at this time are called the age when cats dislike dogs, and this
The same is true for calves of all ages.
However, calves are different from calves. They are both cows, but their personalities may be very different. Some calves are timid and follow their mothers closely, not daring to leave for a moment.
Such calves are the most popular among cowboys because they do not bring extra work to the cowboys.
What I'm most afraid of are the particularly stubborn calves, the ones who are obsessed with running around and can't even come back even if they scream.
Now Zhang Chi met such a calf. The calf's family just didn't want to be with the herd, and would run away as soon as they got an opportunity.
It doesn't do much else when it runs out. It just likes to run away from the herd of cattle, but without leaving the herd.
Zhang Chi has a way to deal with such a black sheep.
Pulling out the lasso from the saddle, Zhang Chi finally displayed the technique he had practiced for almost a year under Cannon's guidance.
The lasso threw a standard oval ring over Zhang Chi's head. After unfolding it, it covered the calf's head.
How could the calf have any experience? When he saw something falling on his head, the little guy looked up with his big eyes open.
Seeing that this thing was about to fall on his head, he thought of getting up and running.
But is it possible to run in a hurry at this time? It must be a waste of time!
The little guy didn't scream yet, he just kicked his hind legs and rubbed his neck, trying to fight Zhang Chi.
"Little thing, you're pretty cool!"
Zhang Chi said with a smile, but without stopping while speaking, he tied one end of the noose to the saddle.
Chiyanshan had also mastered the practice at this time. When he saw his master's lasso falling on the calf's head, it immediately stood still and kept adjusting its body to stretch the lasso.
It is impossible for a calf trapped in this way to escape.
Zhang Chi turned over and dismounted, quickly ran to the calf's side, hugged the calf's neck directly, exerted force on his waist, and twisted his arms, using the power of his waist and hips, he directly knocked the calf over.
on the ground.
Moo!
Only then did the little thing know how to howl.
The cry of the calf instantly made the cow anxious. It was not that the cow wanted to let the calf be so naughty, but that the cow had no choice. She had given birth to a trouble for herself. What could the cow do?
The calf wants to run away, but the cow has no choice. The cow has no hands. If it had hands, a little calf like this would have been whipped by the cow many times.
Every time a cow sees a calf that is about to run away from the herd, she barks, but the child ignores her. Her last resort is to bark twice.
Although there was nothing that could be done to take the calf down, when the calf was knocked down by Zhang Chi, the mother still wanted to rush up immediately to protect her baby.
Just when the cow wanted to come over, the two tigers stood between Zhang Chi and the cow. At this time, Chi Yanshan also came over. It pointed its butt at the cow. If the cow continued
If he dares to get close to its owner, his two big hind hooves will make this cow look good.
Not to mention the addition of the Red Flame Mountain, even the two tigers made the cow feel scared. I don’t know why, maybe because of herbivorous and carnivorous instincts, the cow faced the two tigers and their canine teeth.
, stopped in his tracks.
Moo! Moo!
The cow is trying to call the herd to help.
Unfortunately, no cow in the herd dared to come up to help.
Zhang Chi, who had caught the calf, had no ill intentions toward the calf. He couldn't eat such a small thing, and he couldn't throw it away. After all, it would be money to raise it.
Is Guan Jian this little thing or a heifer? How much wealth will this create for the ranch?
So Zhang Chi tied it up and whipped it with the end of the noose a few times, then let the calf go, and the cow took it back to the herd.
For such a naughty kid, no matter how hard you tell him a thousand times, it will be more effective than giving him a good beating and giving him a complete childhood.
After taking care of the calf's affairs, the whole herd moved on.
Cows walk slowly, and they stop and go. These guys don't keep rushing. They eat while walking, and they don't care whether you are in a hurry or not.
It originally took most of a day to walk here, but now it seems that it will take at least two days to walk back.
There is nothing we can do about this. The three of us have to hurry up step by step and with caution.
"Hello!"
Just as Zhang Chi and the others were driving the cattle through an open area, suddenly there was a shout from the top of the mountain on the left.
Zhang Chi turned around and saw four or three people dressed as cowboys coming towards him from the top of the mountain.
Zhang Chi suddenly felt a little nervous, but when he saw who the person was, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, because the person who came was a rancher in the town, and his relationship with Zhang Chi could not be said to be good.
It's not bad, it's just an ordinary neighbor relationship, nodding and saying hello when we meet.
Cannon also saw clearly who was coming. He smiled and waited for the group of people to come over.
Cannon worked at this ranch, and overall it was quite pleasant, so now that we have met, everyone can exchange a few sincere greetings.
"George, you are so lucky to have found such a large herd of cattle so quickly. I guess this is the largest herd of cattle known now, right?..."
Originally, the two of them had nothing to do with each other, but now that Zhang Chi is driving the herd of cattle, the relationship between the two seems to have improved a lot in an instant.
Zhang Chi could feel the enthusiasm in this man's words.
"I don't know. I'm really lucky. When it comes to finding cows, I'm really far behind other cowboys..."
Zhang Chi didn't know what to say to this person, but he praised us, so we should be humble.
Americans will not be so humble, but now many Americans know that Chinese people have a habit of being polite when they are praised, so when these Americans praise you, they don't mind if you are polite.
What if you look like you have an Asian face, but you are not humble and think you are not good enough?
It doesn't matter if you really meet Chinese people, but it won't be nice if you meet Japanese and Korean people.
This shows that Americans are paying attention to some Chinese culture and no longer ignore this culture.
In fact, this person has nothing to say to Zhang Chi. How old is Zhang Chi, and his grandson is two or three years younger than Zhang Chi. It would be a bit strange if we could talk about this age difference.
So after being polite to Zhang Chi, this guy started talking to Cannon.
He didn't say anything else, he just asked about the cow. As a rancher, Cannon didn't ask where the cow was found.
This question is equivalent to asking a gold digger where your gold mining river is. Unless the person is willing to tell you, otherwise you are crossing the line by asking.
Several people were very envious of Zhang Chi's cows. Their eyes lit up when they looked at the cows. Unfortunately, these cows did not belong to them. They didn't have any evil intentions. They all lived in the same town. It's a big deal.
Now, we can't really kill people and seize cattle.
These people have families and families, so they really can't do what desperadoes are doing.
The whole process only takes five or six minutes. No one wants to delay too much here. Zhang Chi and the other three have to drive the cattle home, and these people want to go into the mountains to make a fortune. Who has time to talk here?
Waiting for the people to leave, the herd continues to move forward.
Brian said to Cannon at this time: "Cannon, let's take the main road. Now we have changed to a small road, and we are not avoiding people at all!"
The three of them were driving the cattle. In order to be safe at the beginning, they naturally had to take some paths with few people.
Now that everyone actually walked on the trail, they discovered that the trail did not allow us to avoid people. Not only did we not avoid people, we met two groups of people from the time we set out until now.
You may think it’s nothing to meet two groups of people. With so many people going into the mountains, is it strange to encounter two groups of people?
In fact, otherwise, the probability is quite low. For such a big mountain, everyone's route into the mountain is different. It's actually like sailing in the sea. You may not know how close you are even though you are several kilometers apart.
There is another ship some distance away.
This is especially true in the forest, because most of the sightlines in the forest are not wide. As long as it is quiet enough, the two teams will not know each other's existence even if they pass by only thirty or forty meters apart.
.
As for barking dogs, dogs don’t have much time to shut up when they enter the forest. Any animal may arouse their curiosity or vigilance.
Cannon thought for a moment and then looked at Zhang Chi from a distance.
Zhang Chi nodded after hearing this: "Forget it, let's take the main road. This small road is really full of people!"
The day is not even up yet, and I have already met two groups of people. If this continues, it won't be long before anyone comes out to look for cattle in Amber Town, and I might encounter them all.
Seeing that Zhang Chi had made up his mind, Cannon adjusted the direction of the cow and spent more than an hour switching from the more difficult path to the easier path.
It's easy to walk, but of course there is no road. I'll open a path for you in the forest. As you can imagine, it's quite beautiful.
There is no road on this route, but there are many tall trees, almost all of which are tens of meters high. There is almost no way for shrubs to survive under these trees, and the gap between two trees is also large, so
It feels smoother to walk.
Another point is that without low water, it is not easy for the cows to eat. It saves the time for the cows to eat grass, so they can naturally walk faster than eating grass.
Of course, these speeds are nothing more than few and far between. In fact, they are not much faster, that is, five kilometers per hour has been replaced by six or seven kilometers per hour.
It seems that the speed has been increased by more than 10%, but actually...forget it, I won’t say anything else and continue to drive the cattle!
