Chapter 23 I Have a Zoo

The decoration in the small castle is quite old, but it is still clean, exuding a strong historical charm.

After Mr. Ross passed away, Mrs. Ross often came to vacation. Now there is a housekeeper and a maid living in it. In addition, the cowboys usually come to help, so they are not lacking in popularity. Even the rooms that have not been inhabited for a long time are considered clean.

Led by the old housekeeper named Berkshire, Katie lived in the master bedroom that originally belonged to Mrs. Rose.

The large room is spacious and bright, with sunlight coming in, and you can see the pasture scenery outside the windows on both sides. The air smells of alfalfa. Some machines are harvesting the grass and stocking up to wait for the arrival of autumn and winter to use them as livestock rations.

A red-bellied and green-winged Australian parrot was standing by the balcony. Perhaps it had suffered a loss under the hands of a cat before. The moment he saw the pudding, it spread its wings and threatened, whispering something.

The Berkshire Butler took a few quick steps and drove the Australian King parrot away, helping to close the window.

With a smile on his face, he said to Katie: "Sorry, beautiful lady, after receiving the news that you will bring pudding today, I asked someone to clean up the room, thinking that the windows can be opened to ventilate, but I forgot about the existence of these parrots. They will leave feces in the room, and it is best to close the windows."

Katie didn't mind at all. She was not afraid of these big birds, but was interested in them. She asked, "I just saw several parrots staying on the railings. They are pets raised on the ranch?"

"That's right. There was a parrot garden in the zoo before, but the cage broke and hundreds of parrots ran out.

Some of them didn’t know where they went, and some stayed. Since they didn’t plan to leave, we didn’t catch them either. They put food in fixed places every day, which has become a favorite attraction for tourists.”

The good-tempered butler Berkshire smiled and said that he was no longer surprised by this. He had been working at the Elk Ranch for more than 30 years.

After helping to check the room, I found no embarrassing bird droppings, so I felt relieved and continued: Then do you have a rest first? If you are interested later, I can take you to visit the ranch."

"Sir, I can take the pudding around by myself, thank you..."

Katie sent the old housekeeper away, opened the suitcase and put the things in place. She originally thought of staying for two or three days before going back, but the Elk Ranch made her feel comfortable and couldn't help but feel that she should stay here for a few more days.

This way, she brought less things. Fortunately, there is a town not far away, not far from London, so she can easily buy anything she wants.

After packing up, she stood by the window, took a picture of the beautiful scenery of the ranch with her mobile phone, and then said to Pudding: "Let's go, let's go out. It's really fun, right? Now you are the owner of this ranch, and there's even a zoo!"

Du Yu is so awesome. Compared to living in London's city, he obviously prefers the place to be lively and comfortable, as well as herds of cattle and sheep and green pastures. All of this was something he had never dared to think about before, but now he accidentally has these.

I haven't recovered from the impact yet, and my mind is still dizzy.

I went downstairs and left the gate, and looked back. Although the castle with dark red exterior walls was small, the shape was absolutely classic and beautiful. I could just take a quick shot of it like wallpaper.

There are pigeons and parrots on the roof, which are colorful and divided into many species. Du Yu can recognize only macaws. They are huge and have special colors. Many London businesses have placed them at the door to attract business. He once met one, which was very cursing and didn't say a clean word.

Thinking about this, he hoped that he was a parrot, rather than a fat cat with a difficult movement and a bigger face than a small pot, because the parrot could speak, fly, and live for sixty or seventy years.

After becoming a fat cat, he only dared to deceive the little boy Jerry. The only benefit is that he is rich, and he can use an iPad for fleshy palms, but not parrot claws...

Riding a bicycle along the country trail, Pudding squatted in the baby chair in the back, and the old Berkshire butler prepared a car and chair for them.

The pasture of more than a thousand acres is not big or small.

Whether it is the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Canada and other countries, there are large ranches with an area of ​​tens of thousands of acres, which is the real "national China", and ranchers can take care of them at will.

The elk ranch covers an area of ​​about 6.4 square kilometers, with a total of nearly 2,500 cattle and a thousand sheep distributed among them. It was originally just a ranch, but later, due to the advice of Mrs. Ross, the sunflower field surrounded by railings to avoid being eaten by cattle and sheep. When they wither, they will grow some wheat or vegetables on the land.

Pudding squatted in the baby chair, while Katie was riding a bicycle, heading towards the direction where the zoo was located. Both sides were green, and cattle and sheep were scattered. Today, the sun was bright, and most of them stayed in the woods.

The trees here are a little older, mainly common beech trees in the UK, with dense crowns and green leaves in early August. By autumn, the leaves are yellow and red, which has a unique charm.

Through Berkshire Housekeeper, Du Yu realized that this ranch was the private property of Mrs. Rose, and her father gave it to her back then.

It can be said that this pasture is full of the ideas of her British girl, and is managed very beautifully. The roadside is full of Damascus roses and Louis XIV roses. The charming pink and the depth of purple are the scenery here compared to the output of the pasture, perhaps the scenery here is what Mrs. Rose cares about in his lifetime.

Just now, Du Yu saw a photo of her when she was young. She was indeed a charming beauty. No wonder she could make Berkshire Housekeeper like her for so many years when she was young, staying wholeheartedly to help manage the ranch...

Stones are piled up into walls, with roads on one side and clear lake water on the other side. The lake is surrounded by trees, and there are herds of elk and deer inside.

There are no traces of wild animals in this suburb of London, so Katie is relieved.

If she was in central London, she would like to play with her cell phones like other girls, but when she came to such a place, she was just interested in enjoying the beautiful scenery. A herd of elk made her excited like a little girl.

Well, Katie is not very old this year.

As soon as she stopped, Pudding was subjected to an "air raid". There was a disgusting budgie who might have overestimated her strength and actually flew over to try to bite it, but was slapped away by Du Yu's claws.

Sitting in the baby chair and wearing a seat belt, he was already very upset.

I set off on the road again and arrived at the zoo soon after.

Seeing the rusty gates, railings, and the stone roads with grass, it seems that no one is here to play...
