"Richard!" Lu Li didn't hide his surprise, exclaimed, and then walked forward quickly, gave Richard a big hug, and welcomed him warmly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

More than two months have passed since the memory of Kumo Racecourse, but when they met again, Lu Li was extremely happy, and the joy of having friends from afar was surging in his chest. Memories of being in England and Ireland suddenly came flooding back, and inadvertently, I returned to the state I was in when I traveled.

Taking half a step back, Lu Li noticed the slightly stiff look on Richard's face, Lu Li not only didn't mind, but also laughed heartily, "Welcome to Texas." ”

Brits don't like hugging, and strictly speaking, they reject physical contact between strangers. Whenever possible, the British would shake hands as much as possible, and if they had to hug, they would only hug their shoulders and keep their lower bodies at sufficient distance to show their gentlemanly - or rather cold.

Lu Li had really experienced this before in the UK. He also respected the customs of the British.

However, this is Texas, or more precisely, this is Texas that has entered carnival mode, and the locals' movements are all wide open and close, either bumping shoulders or hugging passionately, and the expression of emotion is direct and ferocious.

Richard was stunned, and then saw the people around him who were partying to their heart's content, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and nodded vigorously, "Now I finally have a little sense of reality, this is the United States." ”

The complaining tone made Lu Lihuai laugh, "Why are you here?" Why don't you make a call in advance, you can come to my ranch, there are many rooms to live in." ”

"Two horses that we have bred from our horse farm will be racing this time. One obstacle race, one speed race. Richard took the initiative to explain, "Coomore Racecourse is collecting data on competitive racing over the past year, and while this is not a World Series, we would like to look at it. ”

Lu Li suddenly realized, and things suddenly became clear.

Sure enough, Richard then went on to complete the puzzle pieces, "Originally, someone else came, but I heard that this time the competition was in Texas, so I took the initiative to ask Ying to come over." Originally, I thought that I was going to call you today, but I didn't expect to see you so soon. ”

Lu Li's eyes widened, expressing his surprise - although the crowd is far from reaching its peak now, it is not easy to find yourself in the midst of the surging crowd.

"Your Indian red feather hat is really unnoticeable, and it's an Asian face wearing. Richard received Lu Li's inquiry, and a playful smile appeared on his face, which made Lu Li laugh heartily, "A few guys from our horse farm came here, how is the situation?

"They were nice, everything was fine. Lu Li nodded in affirmation, "Actually, next month, we will start breeding." ”

"That couldn't be better. Richard also showed a happy look, "Where's Brandon? Is he here today?" Richard scanned around for a week, but found that in addition to the crowd or the crowd, it is indeed not easy to identify a face, if Lu Li was not wearing that fluffy feather hat just now, it is estimated that it would be difficult to find the figure.

"No, he stayed on the ranch today. Lu Li's answer made Richard show a clear expression and nodded, "There is always someone who has to stay, right?"

"He's just worried about the baby bumps. Lu Li said teasingly, Richard couldn't help but spread his hands, "That's indeed a group of coquettish customers, you must be cautious." Lu Li pursed his lips, did not agree, but did not object.

Richard smiled dumbly, "If I have the chance, can I visit your ranch?" When he was in Ireland before, Richard had heard a lot of stories about Cloud Top Ranch, most of which were told by Brandon, which made Richard full of curiosity and expectation, which was one of the important reasons why he took the initiative to apply.

Lu Li opened his hands and opened his arms, "Even if you don't come, I hope to invite you over." At the very least, I was able to offer a dinner and make a welcome, which was the easiest thing I could do as a host. Richard spread his hands and showed a respectful expression, "Do you have any special arrangements today?" ”

"I don't know, do you have anything special to introduce me? I'm a complete stranger here. "When I was at Liverpool before, Richard was the guide, and today it was Lu Li's turn.

"Behind this is the Stampede show, where you can see all the Texas pros, and the street at the entrance, wait another hour, and you'll be filled with all sorts of food trucks and event stalls, and as for the venue, that's your specialty, so I don't need to introduce it too much. Lu Li simply concluded, "If you want, I can take you around." ”

Although Lu Li's most important task today is the booth, it is also very important to lead his friends to appreciate the local customs and customs, just like Richard did at the beginning. What's more, there are people in charge of the booth, so you don't need to worry too much.

"Oh no, there's no way to do it today for the time being, at least not for a whole day. Richard shook his head, "I have work on me today, and I have to watch a few preliminaries. "But before the official competition, I think I still have an hour to wander around and get a good feel for the rodeo." ”

"An hour? Then let's go to the exhibition behind us, there are three stalls at most, and your leisure time will be gone." Lu Li generously showed the area behind him to Richard, "By the way, Cloud Peak Ranch also has a booth here this year to display some of our own special products. If you are interested, please feel free to try it. ”

"Wow, this is definitely not to be missed. Richard began to rub his hands together, "I can't wait now." What are the specialties of Cloud Peak Ranch?"

"Except for fish and chips. Lu Li's retort made Richard stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he insisted on saying, "It's our British specialty, whether you like it or not, it's a part of our life." The emotion between the words was a little helpless, but extremely firm, "As for looking up at the starry sky, forget it." ”

"Haha. In a word, the memories of that time came to mind, and Lu Li and Richard both laughed, "Then come with me." Now it is still some time before the official opening of the booth, but I am sure you can find something that interests you. ”

Richard stepped forward, "Of course, I'm a firm believer in that. But after only two steps, Richard stopped, "Look at my memory, I have forgotten that this time, I did not come alone, but also three companions. I can't leave them behind. Without me, the three of them would probably be hungry. ”

That teasing tone made Lu Li laugh again, "The three of them are also welcome." Why don't we go find them and go over to the booth together?"

Originally, Lu Li led the way, but now it has become Richard leading the way.

The two of them walked in the direction of the competition area, their footsteps had not yet arrived, and they could not see any special scene in their sights, and the neighing of horses had already heard in their ears, the restless boiling and lively, some familiar, more unfamiliar.

Unlike Liverpool's Antree Racecourse, the hustle and bustle here seems to be more down-to-earth.

There are no elderly gentlemen in neat suits, only middle-aged cowboys with riding boots and scumbags on their faces, no elegant ladies in full costume, only heroic and bold hot girls, no newspaper ink, only rude Tex-style shouting...... Less gentlemanly restraint and more cowboy roughness. Everything is more primitive and at the same time more direct.

"Why did you go to which area? It's quite a long distance. "The whole venue is very large, and many people are riding horses to come and go, and the strong western movie atmosphere makes people feel uneasy. After walking for a while, Lu Li took the initiative to ask.

Unexpectedly, Richard's expression was a little embarrassed, which made Lu Li show a puzzled look, and Richard explained, "I will never admit that I got lost because I was looking for the bathroom." ”

Lost?Is Richard a road idiot?

This possibility made the corners of Lu Li's mouth rise slightly, and it was really hard to hold back a smile, but before he could laugh, Richard added, "I'm sorry, I want to go to the bathroom now, my bladder is about to explode." ”

The slightly vulgar words were natural in the surrounding atmosphere, and quietly, Richard completed the difficult task of integrating into Texas.

Lu Li suddenly stopped and said solemnly, "If I stop where I am now, then what will you do?"

The mischievous words succeeded in angering Richard, who shouted urgently, anxiously, "Fourteen!" and then saw Lu Li laugh heartily, Richard rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then had an open expression, "Then I'll solve it directly next to me, and then pretend to be a rain man." Others will blame you. ”

"Rain Man" is a movie in which the male protagonist is a severely autistic person who often acts out of the ordinary in public without regard for others. As a result, it just overwhelmed the people around him.

Lu Li didn't care, he originally wanted to go back directly, "You can try it." But seeing Richard's uncontrollable impatience, he finally didn't continue to prank, raised his hands in surrender, and then led Richard to the bathroom - in fact, it was not far from the competition field, but it was not obvious.

After solving the physiological needs, Richard's whole body was refreshed, waved his hand vigorously, and shouted, "Go!"
