036 Compassion

Entering the territory of Texas again, Lu Li felt a sense of familiarity, and he didn't know if it was psychological, because he knew that right here, there was a piece of land that belonged to him, really belonged to him, and he could build his second home here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this feeling firmly grasps the heart, and there is a faint warmth.

After arriving in Austin, Lu Li did not go directly to the ranch, but stopped in the city.

This time when he went to the ranch, the situation had changed, and since Lu Li had planned to stay, he had to follow the customs. He was originally going to buy some utensils for the ranch, but if you think about it carefully, the daily utensils and ranch are very complete, and the utensils that need to be added must also determine the next development plan first. Therefore, Lu Li decided to change his denim outfit first.

I didn't see a large professional harness store in New Bronfels before, and the two harness shops in the town both sold professional tools, and Lu Li wanted to buy denim clothing, so he probably had to go to Austin to find it.

After walking around the street for a while, it didn't take much effort to see a saddlery shop, the spacious storefront was as long as two cars, and it looked like a huge warehouse, and in the distance you could see the shiny saddles lined up, which stood out.

After finding a computer on the side of the street and parking the car, Lu Li walked into the store. A strong smell of cowhide came to the face, and even a little too strong, so that people couldn't help frowning.

The mighty saddle on the left hand side has more visual impact after a close look, all kinds of saddles with all kinds of tricks are neatly arranged; the three passages in the center are a dazzling array of denim clothing, from the shirt and vest of the top, to the leather pants and jeans on the lower body, all available; on the right hand side is a row of huge containers, on which are placed a pair of riding boots, after a close look, Lu Li knew that there are different types of riding boots, tall and half-high, Workers and horsemen, and so on, and the wall next to them was covered with reins, and the bundles of reins seemed to have different mysteries, but Lu Li obviously didn't know anything.

"Outlander, what do you need?" A rough voice came from the side, coming out of the darkness without warning, startling Lu Li, turned around, and then saw an old cowboy, he was wearing a beautifully patterned navy blue shirt, with dark blue jeans, and a light brown sheepskin vest on the outside, although he had a big belly and gray hair, he was energetic and full of energy, and the hard one-word beard under his nose revealed the stubbornness and toughness in his character.

Only then did Lu Li notice that the wall behind the cowboy was actually a paradise for cowboy hats, and the entire wall was covered with hats of different styles, which was spectacular, "Uh...... I, I'll be a guest at a friend's house and want to buy a denim to change as a courtesy. Lu Li didn't know how this worked, did the cowboys also go to the store to choose their own special clothes? This shop seems to be too professional, making Lu Li a little dizzy.

"Friend?" the old man raised his voice, and then muttered, "I don't know how to pretend to understand, I really don't know what happened to these young people, a bunch of Halloween clowns." ”

"What?" The Texas accent was already heavy and vague, and Lu Li didn't understand it.

The old man waved his hand impatiently, "Follow me." He strode to the shelf in the center, flipped through it carefully, and turned his head to look at Lu Li, as if he was speculating on the number of Lu Li's clothes.

Lu Li was about to say that he could wear a medium-sized one, but he didn't expect the old man to take a few shirts directly from the shelf and put them on the shelf next to him, and then quickly took a few pairs of leather trousers and jeans, and in a blink of an eye, a pair of clothes were piled up on the shelf next to him, "You pick and see, you should be fine with these." ”

Lu Li flipped through it, and sure enough, the professionals were still different, these clothes were completely the clothes that could be seen in the news, the outfits of traditional cowboys. Lu Li picked two sets, walked into the locker room and tried them on, looked at his appearance in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction, he finally looked a little like him now.

Walking out of the dressing room and standing in front of the old man, he looked up and down, as if he was still a little dissatisfied, and then walked to the counter next to him, took out a series of things, a shawl full of tassels, two Poirot ties, a large round belt and a cowboy hat, and put them on the counter next to him, signaling Lu Li to equip them all.

Lu Li hesitated a little, "Isn't this too grand?" When I participated in the bonfire party before, those cowboys' costumes were not so cumbersome, at most a belt was added.

However, the old man didn't give Lu Li a chance to defend himself at all, his brows furrowed, and he said angrily, "Are you professional or am I professional?"

Lu Li obediently closed his mouth and equipped all the accessories, but he had some trouble wearing the Poirot tie. The Poirot tie is actually a metal throwing rope, not so much a tie as a chain, which is the iconic accessory of denim and corresponds to the tie of a suit.

The old man walked up and tied Poirot's tie for Lu Li, and his thick fingers were much more flexible than expected. After confirming that Lu Li was all dressed, he nodded reluctantly, "That's okay." ”

"Then so be it!" Lu Li looked at the clothes on his body with satisfaction, although this was a little inconsistent with his usual style, but it was quite interesting to try some occasionally. Now, he's a fake western cowboy!

After buying both sets of clothes, Lu Li walked out of the store with two large bags, saw his Ford Mustang, and finally knew what Texans thought when they saw his car - this car was indeed very handsome, but the loading capacity was too small, and it was not suitable for use here in Texas, but it seemed a little childish.

When you go back to the ranch, the first thing you do is buy a pickup truck.

was about to put all the clothes on the passenger seat, but he saw a ball of white flowers curled up next to the tire, and when he got closer, it was actually a small cat, which made Lu Li's footsteps retreat involuntarily - although he has gradually adapted to the presence of Teddy, the last time he left the ranch, Teddy still ran behind his car for a long time, and Cole's hard calling in the back didn't work, making Lu Li a little unbearable, but for animals, Lu Li's subconscious still deliberately kept his distance.

Looking closely, the little flower cat is not white, but light gray, with some black stripes crossed in the middle, the soft short hair looks fluffy, the whole cat is no more than the size of a palm, as if one hand can be relied on, he or she seems to be a little uncomfortable, whispering, and then leaning against the tire, arching, as if preparing to climb up.

This reminded Lu Li that he heard that cats like to get under the hood of cars in winter, because the residual heat of the engine can keep them warm.

As if sensing Lu Li's gaze, the little flower cat raised her head, her watery ice blue eyes blinked at Lu Li, and then whispered "meow", and the soft and weak cry made people melt.

Raised his head and looked left and right, there were not many pedestrians around, and there didn't seem to be any residence, what about his owner?

Lu Li threw his clothes into the passenger seat, then walked back to the store quickly, and asked in a loud voice, "Excuse me...... I saw a kitten next to the car, isn't it yours?"

"I don't have pets. The old man said stiffly, without lifting his eyelids.

Lu Li stood in place, thinking about how to ask the most appropriate, and the old man continued, "There are a lot of stray cats around here. Last week, a feral cat gave birth to a litter of cubs, and then the animal management center arrested them and sent them to a stray pet rescue center, probably leaving one or two behind. ”

"That'...... What should I do then?" Lu Li was dumbfounded, he couldn't just leave that cat on the side of the road, right?

When the old man heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Li, "You can leave it here and leave it alone, it's not my trouble." ”

"Oh. Lu Li scratched his head, he knew that his problem was a little stupid, but he really didn't have much research on animals, and he didn't know much about the book until it was used. Turning around and walking out of the store, Lu Li looked at the little flower cat nested on the inside of the tire, and suddenly felt upset, he didn't want to care, but he couldn't let it go.

With a flash of inspiration, he finally reactivated, took out his mobile phone and searched, and there was a pet-related shop two streets next door, at least he could give him some better advice, and maybe leave it there. Just do it.

Lu Li stepped forward, cautiously trying to catch it, but he didn't know what kind of force he should use, for fear that he would use too much force, so he directly pinched him, looked left and right, and didn't know how to start.

The little flower cat noticed Lu Li's approaching palm, and timidly dodged inside, "meowing" for a lifetime, and seemed to want to escape, but only took a step, and rolled directly in a circle. I don't know if it's Lu Li's illusion, why he thinks that the little flower cat seems to have no strength.

No longer hesitating, Lu Li directly grabbed the neck of the little flower cat, the soft, hot feeling startled him, fortunately, the previous relationship with Teddy made him less repulsive to animals. Lu Li held the little flower cat with both hands, he looked like he wanted to struggle, but he just raised his head, and then fell softly in Lu Li's palm again, I don't know what went wrong, but it is certain that he is indeed very weak.

Seeing this scene, Lu Li couldn't help but speed up his movements, put the little flower cat in the passenger seat, and then quickly got into the car and headed straight for the pet store.
