Take a rest, and then everyone will have to go back to the ranch before they have a chance to rest. That means it will be nearly seven or eight hours before everyone can really take a rest.
It is close to the pasture, but the road is not easy to walk. If you follow the main road, you will take a detour, and it is already very close to the range of human activities. It is really troublesome to take the main road at this time.
I'm not afraid of people robbing me, but I'm afraid of talking to people when I meet them.
This takes a few minutes, that takes a few minutes, each time is less, but when added together, it takes a long time.
So everyone decided to take a shortcut, making it harder to take it.
Another reason for everyone to make this decision is that the group of cattle they just picked up is very docile and does not have the violent tempers of bison. If they were not so docile, the three of them might not be able to drive this group of cattle together.
Bison do not like this, so Cannon and Bryan believe that this herd of cattle was bred in the wild after cattle from other people's pastures were lost.
Of course, the origin of cattle has nothing to do with them. They are just driving the cattle back to the pasture as quickly as possible, and stamping the stamp of Zhangchi Ranch on each cattle as quickly as possible, then these cattle belong completely to Zhangchi Ranch.
Go to the pasture.
As for the tax issue, that was not something the two cowboys had to consider.
After everyone ate from the self-heating pot, no one wanted to rest at this time. They got up and started driving the cattle.
Just when Zhang Chi stood up, the phone in the bag on Chi Yanshan's back rang.
After Zhang Chi answered the call, he found that it was Melika calling.
"Where are you now?" Melika waited for the call to come through and then asked.
Zhang Chi looked at Cannon and asked, "Where are we now?"
After hearing Cannon report his current approximate location, Zhang Chi reported it to Melika.
At this time, Melika said: "We are almost nearby, please send a signal and pop up to have a look."
As soon as Zhang Chi heard that she was nearby, he said: "Didn't I tell you not to come over? Cannon, Brian, I, and I have no problem."
At this moment, Zhang Chi felt a little sorry for his daughter-in-law, because these days, Zhang Chi also discovered that his daughter-in-law obviously didn't get enough sleep. She always seemed to have not enough sleep. She couldn't sleep like him before, and she would sleep for five or six hours here and there a day.
, even if it was good, now it seems that I have suddenly fallen into a state of decline, sleeping more than ten hours a day, and it seems that I don’t get enough sleep.
I originally planned to ask my cousin when I was waiting to go back this time and take her to Los Angeles for a visit. The doctor here, Zhang Chi, felt that he was a bit inexperienced and his technical level was limited. Doctors in small places are not as capable as those in big cities.
big?
Thinking that there might be something wrong with his wife, Zhang Chi didn't want Melika to come into the mountains to help. Who would have thought that this woman would actually come over on her own.
"I was anxious while waiting at home, so I came over directly. I could have come earlier, but as you know the current situation, those who know the way either lead people to find cattle themselves, or are hired by others to find cattle.
Oh..." Melika complained.
In fact, everything was prepared yesterday, except for the lack of a guide. Originally, this was not a problem. There are many such guides in Amber Town.
This is usually the case, but is this normal time? Obviously not. Anyone who can enter the forest now will be hired at a high price if he doesn't enter the forest by himself. So where will it be Melika's turn to find someone?
After searching around the entire town of Amber, Melika discovered that the town was now a hollow town. Anyone with a lot of men in the family would be taken to the mountains by their elders to make a fortune.
After searching for a whole day, Melika finally hired a wilderness survival expert. This expert said he had experience in this area and offered a very high price.
Does Melika have a choice at this point?
Obviously not.
Although Zhang Chi said in the phone call that she, Cannon, and Brian could handle it, Melika was afraid that Zhang Chi would hold on, which was obviously very difficult, but she was afraid that she would be worried, so she said that everything was fine on her side.
So she took three cowboys with her, leaving only one at the ranch, and hurried here. In the morning, she determined the route of Zhang Chi and others, and Merica guessed which way Zhang Chi was going to take.
.
She stepped forward to greet them, feeling that according to the progress of the big guys, the distance between the two teams should be quite close, so Merica made a call.
Zhang Chi heard Melika's words and complained, but he still felt warm in his heart. He felt that his wife still cared about him. Thinking about it this way, he felt that the fatigue in his body was reduced a lot.
Now that everyone is here, it doesn’t matter what they say anymore, so Zhang Chi motioned to Cannon to take out a flare and shoot it into the sky.
This thing may sound quite high-end in China, but it is actually quite normal here. Guns can be bought and sold at will, not to mention this kind of survival flare.
Things necessary for survival in the wild are extremely common here.
Snapped!
A flare went off.
"I see your location, we will go there immediately, we are on the top of the mountain to your south...".
Seeing Zhang Chi's signal flare, Melika suddenly became happy.
Putting down the phone, Zhang Chi headed towards the southern hills. He also knew that at this moment, his wife was leading another team towards him.
When the two clicks were quite close, the problem arose.
Now both of them found that they were in a forest, which was still a relatively dense forest, and the signal flare was useless.
If you can't break through the canopy above your head, you won't be able to be seen.
The most important problem is that the guide that Melika temporarily found was really half-hearted. He had been in the mountains before, but how could he be as familiar with this mountain as the people in Amber Town?
So Melika's team is a little lost.
Getting lost is not a big problem. Nowadays, various navigation methods can make people trapped in the woods not far from the village.
It was Brian again who carefully asked Melika's current location, asked her to retreat to the top of the slope with the team, or to a place with a wide view, and asked her to tell her about the scene she could see, and finally determined
The specific location of Melika and her group.
So Brian took the satellite phone and quickly went looking for it on horseback. Zhang Chi and Cannon stayed where they were, waiting for the team led by Melika to come over.
After struggling like this for more than two hours, Brian finally brought Melika and his party together with Zhang Chi.
When the three cowboys brought by Merica saw this herd of cows, they were all surprised, because these cows were really several times larger than ordinary cows.
If nothing else, generally speaking, physique is the guarantee of meat production. Under normal circumstances, a cow of 1,000 kilograms will produce less meat than a cow of 800 kilograms?
This is said without any common sense.
Suddenly there were three more people, and it was no problem to drive up the cattle. Not only did everyone no longer have to work as hard as before, but they could also take time to take a nap on the horseback.
Just like Zhang Chi now, he is following the pace of Chi Yan Mountain with his eyes dazzled.
Melika took Zhang Chi's place at this time. She heard that Zhang Chi only slept for two hours yesterday, and Melika felt a little distressed.
Although she was happy to have these cows, when she saw her husband looking dazed and about to fall asleep on the horse, she felt that it would be okay not to have these cows.
There was a small slope. Zhang Chi leaned back and subconsciously opened his eyes.
Realizing that nothing happened, he wanted to keep closing his eyes, but when he turned around, he found his wife looking at him.
"What's dirty on my face?"
Zhang Chi forced a smile from his face, and at the same time reached out to touch his face.
When Melika saw Zhang Chi with a tired look on her face, she didn't know what she was feeling at this moment. She saw the stiff smile on her husband's face.
Melika said: "Next time this happens again, you just wait where you are and I take the helicopter over. Why don't we save the money?"
Zhang Chi didn't think about anything else after hearing this. He smiled and said, "Do you want a next time? This time we found more than two thousand cattle, more than two thousand... You are really greedy."
Melika smiled and looked at Zhang Chi smiling and talking, just smiling.
"No, I have to squint for a while," Zhang Chi said.
Zhang Chi didn't feel much physically, but mentally he felt that he had only slept for such a short time. No, he was sleepy and had to make up for it in this time.
Anyway, Zhang Chi was lost in the lake all the way. As for how he got home, he himself didn't know very well.
With five cowboys in the herd, the journey became smoother. By the time we arrived at the ranch, it was already past ten o'clock in the night.
The cattle have returned to the pasture, and everyone is tired. Those who should sleep should sleep, and those who should do something else should do something else.
As soon as Zhang Chi returned to the house, he immediately rushed to the bathroom, took a good shower, put on clean and fragrant clothes, and climbed into bed.
He fell asleep, and as soon as he relaxed, he fell asleep. Not to mention that Melika couldn't wake him up, even the ink's big tongue on his face didn't wake up Zhang Chi.
Mo Zhi, who had not seen his master for a few days, was very happy to see Zhang Chi, but Zhang Chi was not in the mood to pay attention to it at the moment. It was only right to take the time to sleep.
I slept happily until dawn.
Zhang Chi got out of bed energetically, took care of his personal hygiene, and found that Melika got up earlier than him today, so he walked out of the room with a smile.
Finding that Melika was not in the house either, she came to the door.
When he arrived at the door and looked outside, Zhang Chi's face suddenly fell.
Someone is coming to my ranch.
Those who came were neighbors or something, and Zhang Chi was so cool that his face wouldn’t collapse. But those who came were a bunch of men in suits. It would be strange if Zhang Chi’s face didn’t collapse.
Look at this outfit, it's either the FBI or the IRS. Relatively speaking, the probability of the latter is higher, almost 99%.
What are these guys doing here so early in the morning?
What can the Internal Revenue Service do here? Just assess taxes. Good guy, Zhang Chi was spotted by them as soon as he came back. This shows how terrible the Internal Revenue Service is.
