It seemed that it was only a short time to put the luggage in the back compartment in the house, and when I came out again, the sky had already darkened, the blazing sunset on the horizon dyed the whole canopy orange, every corner of the line of sight was clothed in a gorgeous glow, and the magic and grandeur of nature were unreservedly spread out in front of my eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"You can't see a view like this in New York, right?" Cole's voice came from behind him, and he also stopped, standing beside Lu Li, admiring the beautiful scenery.

Lu Li chuckled, "In New York, you can see a gloomy steel forest, and in it, it's like Little Red Riding Hood. ”

Such a vivid metaphor made Cole laugh heartily, "It is not Grandma Wolf who hopes that the end awaits us. He patted Lu Li's shoulder vigorously, "Let's go, I think we're already late." ”

Cole strode to the warehouse on the right, where a black pickup truck was parked, and Lu Li whistled, "This is your car?" "Although it was covered in mud and dust, you could still see the tough body lines, the huge modified tires and the rusty driver's seat, and every detail was full of strong male hormones.

Cole slapped the hood hard and joked, "My exclusive love." Lu Li couldn't help but wonder, "Your Mustang is also very handsome, and the muscle lines are really exciting!" "However, this is Texas, your Mustang is useless, and no girl wants a boyfriend who drives a Mustang horse." This ridicule made Lu Li laugh directly, "Liz's pickup truck was driven away by Frank, and when you settle down here, the first thing you need to do is buy a pickup truck of your own, otherwise life here will be extremely difficult." Believe me! ”

"I have absolutely no doubts." Lu Li opened the passenger door and sat in, and then Cole also got into the car and started the engine, the roaring roar made the two people exchange glances, and the tacit understanding between the men flashed in their eyes.

Leaving the ranch and less than twenty minutes' drive, you entered the town of New Bronfels, where the dim light hung over the quiet street, like a protective cover, to keep out the noise and noise outside, and it was hard to believe that it was just less than seven o'clock in the evening.

You can still see the scattered passers-by on the streets, the flickering neon lights show that restaurants and convenience stores are still open, and you can even see night runners waiting for red lights on the corners, but everything is so peaceful, like a stream flowing quietly under the moonlight, and the ordinary streets and alleys deduce the unique taste of this town under the soft street lights.

It's fleeting.

Lu Li looked at the town behind him through the rearview mirror with some regret, the hurried glance just now, the taste of wanting to talk jumped lightly on the tip of his tongue, he had an impulse, take a good walk on the streets that didn't seem to have anything special, chat with the residents of the town, and stroll around the shops next to him, as if only in this way could he really taste the tranquility that lingered in his chest.

"Ha, they've already started." Cole's voice attracted Lu Li to turn his head, and then he saw a soft orange-red light directly in front of him carrying the heavy dark night, supporting a fantasy paradise, and faint figures surging under the lights, which could not be seen really, which made Lu Li have an illusion: they were on a vast ocean where they could not see their fingers, riding a wooden boat, rowing oars, the whole world was silent, and they could only occasionally hear the sound of oars colliding with the water, and little by little they approached the isolated island not far away.

It's like Alice in Wonderland.

Cole parked the car on the periphery, where there was already a large pile of pickup trucks, parked in an orderly manner, as if it were an open-air parking lot. The two of them got out of the car, and Ke Le greeted Lu Li, "Let's go, I'll take you around!" ”

"Hey, Jack!" Cole walked towards a large group of people head-on, and introduced the past in a flash, "George, Martin, Dustin, Add......" Lu Li only felt dazzled and overwhelmed, everyone in front of him was dressed as the same standard cowboy, and they all had beards, under the not bright light, Lu Li deeply felt that he was haunted by face blindness, even Cole almost couldn't recognize it, and what's worse was that he heard at least four Jacks, so ...... Who's who?

"Phew, I thought, I need to slow down a bit, I see everyone call cowboys before I make a fool of myself." Lu Li's ridicule caused all the cowboys to burst into laughter, and a cowboy next to him, who seemed to be named Jack or Nick, said, "You're dizzy now, that's not good, it's less than one-twentieth of the party here, and the show is yet to come." ”

Looking at Lu Li's dumbfounded expression, Ke Le stood up to relieve him, "Give him a little time, he doesn't even count as a cowboy now." All the cowboys nodded in agreement.

"So......" Lu Li opened his mouth curiously, brushing the ground together, everyone turned their heads, and the pressure was great, "Those people in Queens, New York, always call them 'brothers' when they meet, is it just to deal with such occasions?" "Especially black people.

The voice fell, one second, two seconds, three seconds...... There was silence all around, and everyone looked at each other. Lu Li couldn't help but gasp, this kind of joke is actually a bit racial, because Lu Li is an Asian face, completely different from white and black people, so this kind of joke can often win a full house - at least in New York, doesn't it work here?

"Hahahaha." Suddenly, laughter exploded, and countless hands slapped on Lu Li's back, "Man, you are so humorous!" "What a great guy!" "Good joke!" "The next time I meet those Mexican guys, I'm going to say something like this...... The smiling faces made Lu Li secretly relieved.

It turns out that there are cultural differences even within the United States, just like the north-south and east-west differences between China and China, which is a truth.

"Jack!" There was a lion's roar behind him, and then Lu Li saw several people in front of him turn around at the same time, and roared back in unison, "What! It was a strange scene, but they didn't find it weird at all, they were obviously used to it, "Come and help!" ”

Cole patted Lu Li's shoulder, "Let's go, let's get to work!" There isn't much time left until the party starts. ”

Before Lu Li had time to think about it, he followed Ke Er forward, and only a few steps later he saw a huge loess clearing, and in the middle of the clearing was a bonfire nearly one person high, and the layers of dry firewood stacked neatly were actually a bit like a building block game; Next to the large fire in the center, there is a small campfire at each of the four corners, less than half a person high, but none of these four small campfires have been built......

Farther away, a large group of people bustling and lively, the laughter and laughter can be heard even if it is separated by most of the square, and you can vaguely see large areas of wet water stains, as well as bloody wool piled up into the shape of a hill, take a closer look, what they are dealing with is a complete lamb, Lu Li casually glanced at at least five lambs are still in post-processing......

On the right-hand side, children are playing and playing, some children are playing fencing games with sticks, some children are running and chasing, and some children are holding all kinds of fruits and vegetables...... Looking in the direction of the children, my eyes fell on the brightly lit house diagonally behind, and through the window I could see that everyone was busy inside, and everyone was busy with the chores in the kitchen.

"Fourteen, fourteen......" Cole pulled Lu Li hard, and then pulled his attention back, "Go, come with me." Lu Li subconsciously followed Cole's footsteps, but his eyes still couldn't help but look at the surrounding scene, whether it was in his hometown before, or later in New York University, how could he have seen such a magnificent scene, but he felt that his eyes seemed to be a little insufficient.

"Hey, good evening!" Everyone he met on the road greeted him warmly, not caring about Lu Li's unfamiliar face at all, everyone slapped Lu Li's arm generously, and in just fifty yards away, Lu Li felt that the muscles of his right hand and arm had begun to stiffen.

Cole pointed to the dry wood and branches in front of him, "Now we have to speed up, those campfires have to be lit, let's help everyone speed up." After saying that, Ke Er directly began to stuff firewood into Lu Li's arm, and he had no intention of asking at all.

So straightforward and so natural, Lu Li is really a little uncomfortable - in New York, people always have a politeness, of course, from the point of view of politeness, this is impeccable, but inevitably, the distance between people is still clear, like the Chu River Han border; But here, in addition to the restraint when they first met, whether it was Cole or Chloe, everyone was so familiar and intimate, and they treated Lu Li as a guest, but they didn't treat Lu Li as an outsider, and directly called him.

This is a little strange, but it makes Lu Li feel the purest simplicity.

"Man, take it easy, take it easy, don't be too greedy!" Lu Li saw that the firewood had reached the height of his jaw in a blink of an eye, and hurriedly stopped him, "I can help build the bonfire, but I don't want to be a part of the campfire." The teaser caused Cole to burst out laughing, and the other cowboys next to him burst out laughing.

His hands felt the heavy firewood, gravity was calling them enthusiastically, and Lu Li felt that his tired muscles seemed to be pushing new limits - didn't he originally plan to have a good rest tonight? So what is he doing now? Why don't you think the style of painting is quite right?
