Chapter 65

The male bear was also transported back. Qin Yi, to avoid Angel, took Ryan to a secluded place, where Ryan skinned the bear, leaving the hide intact. In the end, Qin Yi kept one of the hind legs, and the rest he let Ryan take back to share with everyone.

Of course, the bear paws were also kept. Americans don’t eat this kind of thing; their dietary habits are different. Moreover, Americans usually only have three ways of preparing meat: roasting, frying, and grilling. But these methods are completely unsuitable for bear paws, and the result is really not tasty.

For dinner, Qin Yi took charge again, braising rabbit meat, and it was another meal of pancakes...

After eating, Angel still wanted to play with Meggie and Teddy, but after a day of picnicking, who had the energy? Susa held her and cooed for a while, and she soon fell asleep. After Qin Yi told her a story, she slept soundly.

Susa and Liu Qimeng were also on edge all day, and now that they relaxed, they had no energy left.

"Go to bed early, I’ll go check on Meggie and Teddy, and find a place for them to sleep." Qin Yi told them to go to bed early and then went out with a basket of vegetables and fruits.

By the afternoon, the wound on Meggie’s neck had healed by half, and the wound had closed, allowing her to move freely again. Meggie was very excited, barking a few times at Qin Yi, then licking Teddy, who was circling around her. Then she tilted her head and tried to bite the bandage on her neck, which made her feel restrained. Unfortunately, she couldn’t reach it, and she ended up running around in circles, looking at Qin Yi for help, which made him laugh so hard he couldn’t straighten up.

"Haha, Meggie, be good. The bandage can’t be removed yet; your wound isn’t fully healed!"

Qin Yi patted Meggie’s head and explained with gestures, making Meggie understand that the bandage couldn’t be removed yet. Meggie was very obedient and didn’t mind, so she took Teddy and started eating and drinking from the basket.

After they were full, Qin Yi took them to take a bath and taught them some rules, such as not destroying things in the room, going to the bathroom outside on the lawn, flushing the toilet, asking for food when hungry, but not stealing...

Meggie and Teddy had both drunk from the spring water and had become much smarter. They understood many things after just one lesson, like flushing the toilet, which they remembered most clearly, of course, partly because Qin Yi had taught them several times.

When it was time to sleep, Qin Yi was a bit worried. There were no dens, so should he let them sleep in the living room? After some thought, Qin Yi took Meggie and Teddy to the warehouse and let them stay there for the night.

The next day, with Ryan’s help, Qin Yi built a large den. Teddy was only half a year old, and wild brown bears usually don’t leave their mothers until they are two years old, so one den was enough.

Actually, the news of adult brown bears on the ranch had already spread, and the cowboys were a bit worried that the bears might hurt people. In the evening, the cowboys, after finishing their work, came to check the situation.

But on the lawn, from a distance, they could see the two brown bears, Meggie and Teddy, playing ball with Yi and Angel. Their slow, clumsy movements showed no hint of aggression.

"Oh, my God, there really are adult brown bears!"

"But they are really friendly, aren’t they?"

"I didn’t expect it to be true. Just now, Big Cooper told me that the boss had raised adult brown bears. At the time, I thought, oh, God, has Big Cooper gone crazy, joking around? Well, now I believe it!"

Qin Yi also noticed the cowboys and knew they had come to see the brown bears. This was normal, after all, an unsafe factor had appeared in their workplace, and anyone would be uneasy. Qin Yi saw that Burke and Rachie had also come. They had met Meggie and Teddy the day before, and today they had come to set an example and reassure everyone.

"Hey, gentlemen and ladies, these are our new friends, Meggie and Teddy!" As they got closer, Qin Yi introduced Meggie and Teddy like a host introducing new performers, then invited them, "Is there any gentleman or lady who wants to give Meggie a hug?"

"Meggie and Teddy are very well-behaved; they don’t use any strength when hugging!" Angel also helped explain, then went up to give Meggie a hug, though she could only hug Meggie’s thigh. Fortunately, Meggie cooperated, bending down to gently pat Angel’s back, making her praise Meggie as a good child.

Despite this, no one dared to step forward. After all, Angel was familiar with the brown bears, but they were seeing them for the first time. They looked at each other, hesitant to step up.

Burke and Rachie saw this and were about to step forward to set an example when two big guys, the Cooper brothers, rushed ahead.

The cowboys saw them run up and became a bit nervous, with some shouting for them not to go, as they still thought it was somewhat dangerous.

Qin Yi didn’t expect the two big guys to step forward. After all, it was their first time meeting Meggie. He didn’t know if they were brave or foolish, but he was happy. No matter what, they trusted him, and he would ensure their safety.

"Meggie, see the big Cooper and little Cooper coming over? They are our new friends. Come, let’s give them a gentle hug!" Qin Yi reminded Meggie again. Meggie nodded her round head and slowly stood up, opening her front paws.

The Cooper brothers were still a bit nervous, but they thought, "Yi is a good person and wouldn’t harm us. And they really want to hug the brown bear, which would definitely make them famous, as no one has ever hugged a brown bear without getting hurt!"

Qin Yi patted Meggie’s back and smiled encouragingly at the Cooper brothers. Then, Meggie took a gentle step forward, extending her front paws, looking like a child asking for a hug.

Seeing this, Big Cooper didn’t hesitate. Amid the cowboys’ exclamations, he hugged Meggie, then let go safely. He turned back and waved his fist at the stunned crowd, his smug expression earning him enthusiastic applause and praise.

Seeing his brother being praised, Little Cooper quickly hugged Meggie, then accepted the crowd’s admiration, feeling very proud!

Next, Burke and Rachie also came up to hug Meggie. Meggie remained obedient and friendly, and one by one, everyone stepped forward to hug her, then returned to the crowd, cheering as if it were a victorious embrace!

A few were still hesitant but came up to shake hands with Meggie. After this interaction, everyone had a better understanding of Meggie, knowing that this seemingly fierce beast was actually very friendly, and their fear was greatly reduced.

Of course, the most popular was Teddy. This little guy was harmless, and everyone felt the safest with him.

After a while, Qin Yi had Angel bring a basket of apples from the house and had Meggie distribute them. Meggie was very obedient, giving each person an apple. Each cowboy who received an apple eagerly took a bite, then praised it.

"Oh, God, I can say this is the best and most unforgettable apple I’ve ever eaten!"

"That’s right. I should have taken a photo of this apple to keep in my album, but I’ve already eaten half of it!"

"Haha, then keep the half, take a photo, and then eat it!"

After this, a few cowboys really kept the half-eaten apples, perhaps planning to do just that...

Qin Yi laughed, knowing that the apples were definitely the best, as they were from the space!

The next day, Ye Fang’s friend came over, bringing a barrel of fruit wine. Qin Yi watched him drive away, then went to the vegetable garden to plant leeks, fennel, and Sichuan pepper trees from the space, as well as some Chinese specialty vegetables. Many American vegetables were not only unfamiliar but also hard to cook.

After planting the vegetables, he went to the farm to check. The black rye grass, which had been sown for about 10 days, was already 10 centimeters tall. He secretly poured some spiritual spring water into the ditch. Although the ditch couldn’t cover the entire farm, it could still affect half of the black rye grass.

Then he went to Bill’s place to check on the irrigation system construction. After a tour, everything was normal, and the project was one-third complete, with another ten to twenty days to finish.

Liu Qimeng was busy writing a small farm tourism plan. Susa took her around the small farm to design various tourism projects, while Angel stayed at the ranch, enjoying herself with Qin Yi, Meggie, and Teddy, laughing and having the most comfortable and happy time.
