Kumo Racecourse is a pure horse farm, the facilities are relatively more monotonous, but also more professional. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info specializes in providing space for horses to walk and run, the size of half a cloud top pasture, vast and wide, as far as the eye can see, and the rolling mountains at the end of the horizon are like rough lines in ink paintings, winding under the washed blue sky.

In a trance, this seems to be another world, a different world that can only be entered through the gate of time and space. Isolated.

Walking on the lawn of the horse farm, it is like returning to the cloud top ranch, such a rhythm of life is full of familiarity, less work tight, more leisurely vacation.

When night fell, the staff of the horse farm came back one after another, and the space of the main house suddenly became crowded, but it did not have the liveliness and intimacy of Cloud Peak Ranch. Everyone greeted each other politely and detachedly, and focused on their own affairs in silence, as if working in such a quiet and distant environment gradually became silent.

Lu Li was a little uncomfortable.

"Just get used to it. Richard seemed to be able to sense Lu Li's thoughts, and said with a smile, "Actually, British people don't like to socialize very much. In an unfamiliar situation, try not to speak if you can. We politely kept our distance, not as exaggerated as in Finland, but we did. ”

"I thought it was only Londoners like that. Lu Li's eyes showed surprise, Richard didn't know why, Lu Li explained, "I read a news article before. An American working in London, commuting to work by subway every day, but the people on the subway refused to talk, even refused to make eye contact, and only focused on their work, and the whole subway was quiet, which made him feel very lonely. So, he started a campaign to pin a pin on his chest or backpack, 'Please talk to me,' and then welcome any stranger to talk to him. ”

Lu Li was only halfway through his words before Richard laughed and shook his head, "I know he's definitely going to fail." ”

"Oh, why?" Lu Li had been in the United States all the time he was studying, and he was used to the enthusiasm of Americans.

Sometimes, even just standing on the side of the road and waiting for a traffic light, someone will start climbing inexplicably - between strangers and strangers, without even exchanging names, and after the green light, the two people go their separate ways.

"We're more introverted, it's in our nature. But in the workplace, a lot of times we have to communicate, and it's a pain in the ass, at least for most of us. So, on the subway, in the restaurant, in our private space, we want to be able to leave some space for each other. ”

Richard explained with a smile, looked back at his busy colleagues sitting in other corners, lowered his voice and continued, "To put it simply, we are too lazy to socialize. ”

"Poof. Lu Li laughed directly, "Gao Leng." This should be the most appropriate word.,Probably the consciousness is:Don't bother me pretending/force.。。

In fact, the American's activities received a lot of support, but most of them were foreigners living in London, and there was a strong resistance from the British, and many of them even made corresponding mocking brooches to fight back, such as "don't talk to me", "talk to me, I'll explode", "get out of the way", and so on.

Texans don't like to talk because they are wooden, and Londoners don't like to talk because they are cold. However, at least the weather in Texas is hot, and the rainy weather in London is really unbearable.

Although they were on Irish soil at this time, the weather was not bright on this small island next to the European continent. In many ways, Ireland and the UK are indeed in the same vein.

Looking at the group of people living in their own worlds in front of him, Lu Li suddenly felt that the cold humor in British movies had found a source. Suddenly I became happy.

Dinner started at eight o'clock, fish and chips.

Lu Li, Richard and the others all laughed, and Daniel and the others at the horse farm were confused and dazed.

The taste of fish and chips is indeed ...... I don't dare to compliment, the taste is a little moist, a little sticky, and the taste is very monotonous. It's not dark cuisine, but it's far from average. Lu Li and Tony exchanged glances, this meal of fish and chips is estimated to remain deeply in their minds for a long time in the future.

After the meal, Daniel invited Lu Li to have tea together. Although the way and type of tea drinking in the UK and China are very different, the British people's dedication to drinking tea is as good as that of the southerners in China.

"I've always been very curious, what is Chinese/Chinese tea, and what is the difference between it and the Japanese tea ceremony?" Daniel looked curious and invited Lu Li to the living room with him.

But before the two of them could sit down, the room suddenly went dark, all the light around them disappeared, and the whole world fell into darkness. Outside the window, a quiet moonlight is rippling, and the clear moonlight white shrouds the entire horse farm in a halo, with a fairytale-like mystery in the quiet.

"What's wrong?" Tony's noisy voice came from behind, Lu Li also raised his head and looked around in surprise, but the moonlight outside the room could not penetrate through, and his vision was dark, and he stretched out his palm, and could only vaguely see the outline of his palm.

In modern society, everyone has become accustomed to the world of light, and suddenly the light source disappears, and it is inevitable to panic.

"Hehe, don't be nervous. Daniel's voice rang out, and he sat up calmly to explain, "It's just that the power is out." Occasionally, this can happen in a remote mountainous area, where lightning or wildlife can break cables, and a variety of unexpected situations can lead to power outages. ”

"Power outage?" Lu Li found that everyone was accustomed to it, obviously this was not the first time this situation had happened, but he was not comforted at all, "The situation is even worse than imagined." A power outage is even more terrible than not having a network. ”

Lu Li's half-joking words made both Daniel and Richard laugh, but the others didn't seem to react, and they were still silent. It seems that Lu Li's humor doesn't seem to work well in Ireland.

"So what now?" Tony tried to take two steps, his hands groping in the darkness, and then he heard a crisp slapping sound, "Smack", Tony grinned and gasped, "Who!"

Brandon said coldly, "Don't fly around in the dark, be careful of accidental injury." ”

"Don't worry, we certainly have options. Daniel said confidently, and through the faint glow of the moonlight, he said to Lu Li, who was standing two steps away from him, "How about it, do you want to come with me?"

"If you're asking me if I'm carrying a lighter, the answer is no. "Lu Li's subtext is that the alternative is a candle.

This made Daniel laugh again, "Don't worry, if I need a lighter, I won't be looking for you." ”

In the darkness, a bright yellow halo lit up, everyone reflexively looked towards the beam, the flashlight in Richard's hand brought the light again, although the beam is really not large, the space that can be illuminated is very limited, but it is better than nothing, and finally re-aligned the eyes to the focus.

After having the first flashlight, he then found three other flashlights, Lu Li took one and followed Daniel out of the main house, Tony originally planned to follow along, but he was too anxious, and as a result, the shin of his calf hit the foot of the sofa, and the whole person hugged his calf and began to wail.

There was a low commotion in the dark room, which couldn't help but add a touch of life.

Around the direction of the porch, Lu Li and Daniel came to the back of the main house. By the moonlight, a rough outline can be seen, this is another wooden house, the appearance of which looks like a storage room, or a warehouse, but it is a little old, and the appearance looks like a lot of dust has accumulated on the outside, and even a little dilapidated.

Horror movies always like to shoot in such a place, the wooden house in front of you seems to be a place that scares people to death, and there is silence all around, as if after a power outage, even the sound has disappeared, this kind of visual and auditory double shielding, is really difficult to explain from a biological point of view.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Daniel glanced back at Lu Li, only to find that Lu Li looked complacent, not worried about the power outage at all.

Either you're a novice who doesn't know how bad the situation is, so you're completely calm, or you're experienced, calm, and easy to handle. Either way, Daniel couldn't help but be impressed.

If Lu Li knew Daniel's thoughts, he would probably have laughed.

As Lu Li said, without the Internet, it is boring at best, but without power, the whole world is plunged into darkness, which is really scary, and they also live next to the mountains, as Anthony said, if they encounter prey, then things are in trouble.

However, Lu Li seemed very calm.

"Fear doesn't help, does it?" Lu Li followed behind Daniel unhurriedly, "What's more, I'm not alone here, so there's nothing to be afraid of." If you live in the city right now, the power outage would be dangerous, but luckily we're in nature now, at least, the horses won't take advantage of the darkness to mess around, will they?"

"Huh. Daniel laughed at Lu Li's words. The more modern a city is, the more dependent it is on electricity, especially in a big city like New York. It's hard to imagine what kind of disaster it would cause if there was a power outage in Times Square or a subway station, and the surging crowds were chaotic.

At times like these, cabins that don't rely on electricity become simpler.

"The last time a customer came over, there happened to be a power outage, he was curled up in the corner of the sofa, he didn't want to move no matter what, he was so nervous that we thought he was sick. Wait until the power is on, and then relax. Daniel said with a smile on his face.

Lu Li also laughed, "Darkness is a protective cloak for monsters for many children. ”
