022 Dance a song
"Hey, who wants to taste this bottle of thyme?" Lily walked over to the campfire with a bottle of white wine in her hand, shaking the bottle in her hand, "It's a drink made from thyme, try it, it's herbaceous, it tastes good!"
Is this a herbal wine, not a white wine?
By the light of the bonfire, Lu Li looked at it curiously, he thought that Texans like simple and rough things, but he didn't expect that Lily would also make her own wine, "Fourteen. "Lily was the first to aim at Lu Li, "You're from Asia, you must have studied herbs, you judge and judge."www.biquge.info ”
Herbs are equal to Asia, and more precisely, originate from the mystical East, which is a fixed concept of Europeans and Americans.
Lu Li also wanted to defend himself, in China/China, medicinal wine is not brewed like this, but Lily didn't give him a chance, and directly handed over the wine bottle, Anne reached out and handed Lu Li a wine glass, before she could react, Lily had already started pouring wine, "This is all natural." ”
Lu Li chuckled, "It's not harmful to the body, right?"
Originally, it was just a casual joke, but Lily shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, it's up to you, an Asian, to tell me." ”
Lu Li had already raised his hand to his mouth, and suddenly stiffened - who knows what herbs they used and how they were brewed.
Seeing Lu Li's puppet-like pause, Lily laughed heartily, her face flushed. Lu Li reacted at this time, Lily was joking with him on purpose, he raised his head and toasted directly, the spicy alcohol flowed down his throat, and a refreshing mint came up immediately, only to feel an itch in his throat.
Meeting Lily's expectant gaze, Lu Li considered his tone, "Hmm...... It's fresh, like a fresh air coming from the valley. This made Lily smile with satisfaction, "But, not strong enough. Next time, I should bring you Chinese/Chinese liquor to taste. After saying this, Lu Li himself was taken aback - didn't he decide to auction off the beech pasture? If there is no other chance, it is estimated that he will not come again in the future. So what does this mean?
"You mean...... Two pots?" Justin, who was sitting in the corner, interjected, hula, and everyone turned their heads to look over.
Lu Li said in surprise, "You actually know Erguotou?"
Justin grinned, "Tasted it once before." Originally, the words had been truncated by this point, but looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Justin continued, "Very strong, very heavy! ”
"Oh", everyone showed a look of sudden realization, and their eyes showed a look of eagerness, Lu Li couldn't help but smile and looked at Lily, "Hey, everyone, pay attention, now is the moment for Lily." On a night like today, no one can steal Lily's grace. ”
The light and humorous tone made people laugh, Lily winked at Lu Li, "Don't worry, I'm very confident in my craft." You're welcome to take on the challenge!" With that, Lily raised the herbal wine in her hand, "Who wants to taste it?" Everyone raised their glasses, and Lily began to pour wine for everyone one by one.
"Lily, how did you and Liz meet?" Lily sat down beside Lu Li, and he asked curiously, "Is it on the ranch?"
"Oh, no, it's not. Lily had a look of nostalgia on her face, "We met in Woodstock. "Woodstock, the world's most famous rock festival, has influenced two generations, and even had varying degrees of influence on American politics, culture, and economy, and the event in 1969 was considered a mecca by countless rock lovers.
Unexpected, but reasonable. Lu Li remembered the photo album he had flipped through this afternoon, Liz was obviously a rock lover, but Lu Li couldn't help but exclaim, "Woodstock!"
Lily nodded smugly, "Don't look at me like I am now, when I was younger, I was also a rock girl who wandered around the world. Lu Li chuckled, "Woodstock, we rocked there for four days and four nights, we were partying in the rainstorm, we looked like vagabonds, but we really enjoyed every minute and every second of time, it was a glorious time, even now, looking back, I still feel like my whole body is starting to dance." ”
"And what about later?" Lu Li asked curiously.
"Later......" Lily thought about it seriously, "and then we went to Europe, and we went all the way from Europe to the Middle East, and we were going to go to China, but while in Afghanistan, Liz got pregnant. Lily smiled, but with a hint of wistness in her eyes, "So, we decided to come back." In Afghanistan, we bought a bunch of sheepskin jackets and filled the whole wagon......"
Lu Li's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, what a wanton and enjoyable life it was, it was an attempt that he had longed for a long time but never had the courage to take the first step.
Lily had a big smile on her face, as if she couldn't help but laugh just by remembering that past, "Those sheepskin jackets really stinked to death, we had to open all the windows and drive all the way for forty kilometers, you can't imagine what it was like to suffer." Lu Li couldn't suppress his smile anymore, "We sold these stinky coats for a good price, and then used the money we earned to buy motorcycles, rode all the way to India, and then flew back." ”
Lily couldn't help but pause for a moment, her expression a little lonely, "Originally, we had planned to go to South America, but those plans didn't come true. However, then she smiled again, "However, we have seen the beauty and wonder of the world, and we have returned to this land and started to live honestly." ”
"But don't you want to go back on the journey?" Lu Li was a little excited.
"Of course. Lily nodded in affirmation without hesitation, "That's why we're here." Life here is more casual and freer than in the city, and we can act at any time. I remember if it was Taylor when he was five or six. Taylor is Lily's eldest son," we set off again, heading north along the West Coast, across Alaska, to Canada, to explore the mysterious ice field. ”
It's just a description in a few words, but Lu Li's mind outlines the whole picture of life. Whether it's on the road, on the ranch, on the adventures of the world, or in Texas, it's all about taking their lives into their own hands, truly enjoying every moment of time, and truly ...... Alive. At this moment, Lu Li felt yearning like never before, and that kind of fanatical envy and longing hit his chest with a faint pain.
At that moment, Lily suddenly raised her hands in the air, beat the rhythm, and shook her head and hummed, "Let the sun shine." Then she stood up, and began to circle with her song, the floral dress fluttering gently, and Edward, who was not far away, played the guitar to accompany Lily, "Let the sun fall, let the sun fall......"
This is the classic track "Let-The-Sunshine-In" by Jennifer Wennas, a simple melody with sun-like warmth and drizzle-like melancholy, proudly blooming under Lily's fluttering skirt. Not only Lily, but also Anne and the others stood up, spinning in circles, enjoying the melody, and dancing.
Lily's dance steps were not graceful, just a simple circle, but Lu Li found that he couldn't take his eyes off at all, just looked at Lily quietly. On that calm face, Lu Li found a faint sadness, and the light smile on the corner of his mouth hid the memory and longing for Liz, at this moment, even the sound of the wind became soft.
Lu Li didn't know how many ups and downs Lily and Liz had gone through, but he could feel the strong bond between them, which was completely different from the cold alienation of New York.
At some point, Ronald walked over, grabbed Lily's waist, and slowly danced. Lily buried her head in Ronald's shoulder, and the whole world seemed to slow down. In the midst of the hustle and bustle around him, Ronald built a wall for Lily, carefully cared for it, and this gentleness was touching.
"Hey, cowboy. A refreshing voice came from behind him, making Lu Li turn his head, and then he saw Chloe standing in front of him, her delicate smile blooming proudly under the red bonfire, her bright eyes twinkling like stars, "Are you going to dance together?" Chloe was not shy, and generously extended an invitation.
Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and put down the wine glass in his hand, "My honor." Then he stood up, made a polite chivalric salute, and extended his right hand to Chloe.
Such a gentlemanly move, without any twisting, made Chloe's eyes flash slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was put away a little, fell into her eyes, and slowly precipitated. She put her left hand in the palm of Lu Li's right hand, and then took the initiative to take it, and slid into the side with Lu Li, and the two of them began to slowly sway along with the guitar melody.
There are no deliberate dance steps, just follow the melody, follow the instinct/ability, and let the body express the inner emotions, but it is such a simple and almost clumsy way, but it makes Lu Li's mood soar, the curvature of the corners of his mouth rises slightly, and he looks at Chloe with bright eyes, letting go of the restraints, letting go of the baggage, letting go of the worries, completely, completely, and thoroughly into this party.
As if sensing Lu Li's cheerfulness, Chloe laughed wantonly, hearty laughter sprinkled all over the ground in the enthusiastic dance steps, and the fragrance of roses could be smelled in the flying hair.
This kind of night is so beautiful that people are so beautiful that they don't want to wake up. The wind whispers, the campfires accompani, the stars shine, but the night has just begun.
