Chapter 619 Snake Cave
Leave the old Patton house and head to the vicinity of the cowshed.
The cattle I had raised for a whole year had already been out at a high price, and most of the cattle sheds were empty.
Han Xuan deliberately did not maintain close relationships with cattle and sheep because their fate was already destined and would eventually be served on the dining table.
If you don’t know those cattle and sheep, you will feel much less guilty, and you will have no concerns about the Romney sheep and grass mud horses used to shear hair.
Their meat is not very commercially valuable, and the most cost-effective way is to make it.
The sum of the two is less than 5,000 heads, and they are now mixed in indoor farms with heating.
The walls are very thick and sunlight, and the space inside is huge. Even if the heating is open 24 hours a day, the temperature can only be kept at about ten degrees.
Han Xuan looked into the fences on both sides from the middle aisle.
The Romney sheep with thick hair were round like balls, and they felt that the temperature was quite comfortable and lazy.
The spoiled alpaca still felt cold, lying on the hay-covered ground, squeezing together to keep warm to each other.
The breeders were cleaning up the feces in the sheep pen and drove the alpacas away for the time being, but they had no intention of getting up at all, and they stayed in the sheep pen without wanting to move.
The man had no choice but to grab the corn and sprinkle it at the door of the sheep pen to attract them. In the hearts of the grass mud horses, the warm grass nest was obviously more important than this food, and he spitted at the breeder with his squint eyes.
If the grass mud horse could speak, it must be saying: "Who are the sheep men? Just give this little corn, and it's not enough to stuff the teeth. What about you who beg for food?"
Han Xuan had no idea what the layer of plastic film similar to the raincoat was used for before, but now he realized it was to prevent the alpaca's saliva attack.
The grass mud horses have a stubborn mind and have poor memory. Every time they see Han Xuan, they feel that they have seen it, but they can't remember it.
So my eyes were particularly confused, and my weird-shaped long hair was full of joy.
Alexander, a strong man over two meters tall, was holding the forage into the feeding trough. The leaves and flowers of the dry alfalfa grass were scattered all over the floor behind him.
After patting the grass clippings on his chest and walking towards Han Xuan, Alexander laughed and said, "I haven't seen each other for several months. Are they well raised?"
"Well, I feel much fatter than autumn, and my hair has become longer.
I will buy another batch of alpacas next year, and the wool production on the ranch cannot keep up with the needs of my grandma's company.
In the past, the more than 30,000 Australian Rayland sheep and Belgian blue cows were all lost, and the free grassland was quite large."
"The wool in our snow mountain ranch is thinner than other people's alpacas, so it is absolutely good to make clothes with it..."
Just as Alexander was boasting, Martinez pushed open the door and hurried over.
Suddenly, a cowboy laughed and scolded, "Can you just close the door? The temperature finally rose a little, and a gust of wind blew in and disappeared again. Be careful that these alpacas beat you up.
I heard that Mie became your girlfriend?
Congratulations, it’s so good. I sincerely wish you not to live a miserable life in the future.”
Martinez shouted: "I don't have time to talk to you about this now!
Han Xuan! Han Xuan! A tourist fell into the snake cave!!"
Han Xuan was furrowed when he heard this, and he was born with disgust towards the appearance of the snake.
This time there are not only snakes, but also snake caves!
I immediately remembered the movie "Human and Snake War" I had watched before, which was simply a nightmare for patients with snake phobia.
"Where does the snake cave come from our ranch?"
“Spotted next to Flathead Forest Park!
A couple obtained a hunting license and hired two old hunters to go out for hunting. When they reached the junction with the Caulliday ranch in the north, the man stepped on a piece of snow and fell down.
The entrance of the cave was very deep, about six meters, and the person was not seriously injured, but he said that there were all frozen snakes under him, and it should be a red-bellied snake."
Martinez rubbed his arms, his expression so painful that it was twisted.
Han Xuan was not much better. When he heard this name, he knew why there was a snake cave.
There are often red-bellied snakes in the pastures. They are poisonous snakes. Whenever they see them, cowboys will cut off their heads because the reproduction speed of this poisonous snake is too fast!
The red-bellied harness snake is widely distributed in the northwestern United States and southern Canada. It usually likes thousands of them to gather together.
In the 1950s, more than 30,000 red-bellied plastic banded snakes were found in a cave in eastern Montana, and mating at the same time.
They will be in heat many times a year and are naturally corrupt. It is estimated that they are having fun this fall and are frozen by the sharply reduced temperature.
Han Xuan once saw this kind of snake in a science magazine. When it was in estrus, it would come from all directions. There were fewer than a few hundred, and more than tens of thousands, the more it gathered.
Near the Snow Mountain Ranch, there are definitely no small number of red-bellied snakes. When you go to Flathead in summer and autumn, you often see them in trees and rivers.
I don’t know how many red-bellied snakes there were in the snake cave that the man fell into, but he would definitely be frightened.
Anya was also afraid of snakes, so when she heard Martinez call out the words "Snake Cave", she covered her ears.
If you can't hear it, you won't be upset. Her philosophy of life is so simple.
“It’s so lucky.”
Alexander sweated coldly. Seeing that he had just said this, the people around him stared at him with strange eyes and explained: "It's really good!
If the snake is not frozen, it falls in the autumn.”
"Still continue to talk, I will pull your tongue!
I will commit suicide by cutting my throat immediately, and I don’t want to stay for one more second.”
Han Xuan pulled Anya's clothes and trotted out, "Go and rescue the person first, Alexander, please let someone go to the warehouse and move a few buckets of gasoline over and move a few more buckets!"
"Do you want to burn them to death? But the Animal Police Department is not allowed to do this?" Martinez asked him.
Han Xuan said: "I can't care about that much. I don't want this kind of snake to appear in the snow-capped ranch again.
They hide underground this year, the temperature is not cold enough, and they will survive next year. Then so many snakes will run to our ranch and I will not come back even if I die.
Those people in the Animal Police Department stood and spoke without any pain in their backs. Do you want them to move their home near the snake cave to try?"
"Burn, absolutely burn!"
Anya looked sure that she could make such words show how unpleasant snakes are...
Pull the throttle to the bottom and speed all the way.
Cross the hilly snow fields and head towards the direction of the junction of the Snow Mountain Ranch and the Kaolidai Ranch.
Before buying Smith Ranch, Snow Mountain Ranch and Kolidai Ranch were not bordered by each other, which was a large ranch with an area of more than 30,000 acres.
The owner is a German old man who has been living in the United States for a long time. He only bought it more than 20 years ago.
Han Xuan stayed for twelve years and only met the old man once. He did business in Philadelphia and occasionally came to escape the summer heat. He rarely contacted people. He had a bad temper and was very strange.
There were continuous vehicles on the road, all running towards the same place.
At this time, the skiers had not yet climbed the mountain and were waiting for the helicopter to clear the soft snow layer.
I guess they all came to watch the fun after getting the news, and they were afraid of missing out on some wonderful scenes, and their expressions were very excited.
Keep pressing the horn to let the car ahead drive quickly... (To be continued.)
