Chapter 135: The Cowboy's Road
These days, people are in the field, mobile phone code words, there is no way to reply to book reviews, forgive me!
…………………………
Ang Lee, the director of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", said that the American West is a symbol of masculinity and masculinity, and there is not a single feminine person in Westerns.
Li Xianhua very much agrees with this, except for the soil in the wilderness, it is yellow and withered grass, and it is difficult to find even a tree. Jia Baoyu said: Men are muddy. That's probably what it means, right? The white-haired young man sat on the back of the ox, jolting and undulating with the ox's footsteps.
Kanda ignored the gibberish Li Xianhua, this guy started talking to himself half an hour ago - basically at the same time as the departure of the Ox team.
"Hey, hey! When will it arrive? ”
Li Xianhua finally couldn't help it, in the western films he watched in the past, the road of cowboy cattle transportation was thrilling and exciting, and someone jumped out from the side of the road to rob or something at every turn, basically the rhythm of the gun without saying a word, what kind of "fast gunner" ah "duel in the wind and sand under the sunset", Li Xianhua is familiar with it. But now there are none of these, some are just boring and long roads, and there is no end in sight to the loess all the way.
The wind and sand on the road are quite strong, and when I talk for a long time, my mouth smells mudy. The old cowboys in the team warmly recommended denim towels that could block the wind and sand to Li Xianhua and Kanda. Li Xianhua covered his face with a denim scarf like a stream, looking particularly like a perverted flower thief.
The old cowboy in the lead is a good-natured middle-aged man, and he is not as hostile to Li Xianhua and Kanda as the residents of the town, after knowing the tasks of these two young people from Colonel Augsge, he took care of and cooperated with the two of them along the way, especially for Li Xianhua, who had nothing to do, and served him like an uncle, but in the end, Li Xianhua felt embarrassed.
"Master Li, we haven't left the town's cordon yet." The old cowboy is calm.
"Kill me, this boring life doesn't fit my aesthetics, the cowboy in my heart is not like this!" Li Xianhua lay on the back of the cow and wailed.
"Idiot." Kanda calmly pretended to be forced.
The old cowboy just smiled serenely.
"Corill, under normal circumstances, how long will it take for your transportation line to be completed?" Li Xianhua was bored and began to grab the old cowboy and chat.
"If there is no interference, a month." Corrill replied.
"It's going to take a month to walk and walk on the back of a cow?"
"If you count the return trip, it's two months, Lord Li." Corrir corrects Lee's mistake.
Li Xianhua waved a denim towel to drive away the flies around him. Because of the strong smell of bison and the cow dung left along the way, there are always flies buzzing up and down around the cowboy.
The white-haired youth remembered a video game he had played before, which depicted the working life of a long-distance bus driver in California, USA - the only thing the player had to do in the game was to right-click every few minutes to prevent the car from stray from the road - for eight hours. He thought that this was the most boring thing in his life, but he didn't expect to encounter an even more boring thing today.
"Coriel, how long have you been in this business?"
"It's been almost twenty years." Corrill thought for a moment.
“…… How did you last so long? This monotonous and tasteless work. ”
"Please forgive me for being rude. Compared to the work of an exorcist engaged in by Master Lee, I think this monotony is also a kind of happiness, not to mention that this job can still support me and my family. ”
"Is blandness a blessing?" Li Xianhua muttered.
"Lady Lee......"
"Call me Instantaneous."
"Instantaneous, you haven't married yet, have you?"
"Uh, how do you know?" Li Xianhua was a little embarrassed.
"Haha, of course I know," Collier was a little smug, "single men and women always yearn for an attractive life. But if you have a girl you love one day, then you will understand my choice. ”
"You're doing this for the girl you love?"
"Of course, I'm a former police officer, and I've caught wanted criminals! It wasn't until I met her that I realized that life in life and death wasn't for me...... Now we are happy! It's that disobedient kid who has to join the Black Order's exploration force, this thing is annoying......" Corrier glanced at Li Xianhua and Kanda, and suddenly reacted, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to ......"
"It's okay, Coriel, it's a wise decision, if I were you, I wouldn't let my son join that **** Order's ......" Li Xianhua shrugged.
"Hahaha......" Li Xianhua's words made Corrier relax, "Xianhua, you really don't look like an old-fashioned Englishman!" ”
"Uh...... Actually, I am Chinese. Li Xianhua said embarrassedly.
Corrier smiled even more heartily, and the old cowboy pointed at Li Xianhua's white hair and green eyes: "You are so humorous." ”
Li Xianhua looked at the sky speechlessly.
"That gentleman is Chinese!" Corrier pointed to Kanda.
Kanda, who has always had a cold face, also fell into embarrassment: "I am not Chinese. ”
"That's the Japanese? That's right, the Japanese also have black eyes and black hair, I've heard of it. ”
"......" Kanda looked at the sky speechlessly.
"Do you exorcists like to joke about your homeland? It's quirky......"
Li Xianhua hurriedly changed the topic: "Corier, I heard that cowboys have good marksmanship, is it true?" ”
"Who said that? We rarely carry guns," Collier was distracted, "and shooting indiscriminately will scare the cattle away." We generally have police and military patrols. ”
"Huh? Then why did we meet so many people with guns yesterday......"
"Because recently the Indians have suddenly started attacking us and killing people. We need guns for self-defense. I heard that they were still at war with the army, and even Augsge couldn't do anything about them. ”
Something is strange...... Li Xianhua and Kanda glanced at each other.
"You say the Indians suddenly started killing people?"
"Yes, they were gentle until then...... To be honest, while I don't approve of the government driving them out, and it's the bounty hunters who trade their scalps for bounties, we cowboys get along with them pretty well......"
"This is the first time I've heard of ......"
"Instantaneous, we don't want to go to war with them, but this cattle road has also taken us a long time to open up. Now that the blacks have been emancipated, there are far fewer people who can grow food, and this cattle road is to provide food to the north...... So ......"
"So?"
"So I want to ask you, as a last resort, not to hurt them."
“……”
"Once the battle starts, this bull road will be cut off by the flames of revenge. That's not what we want to see. ”
"I'm a little surprised, you're not like the bunch of aggressive fools in town."
"Haha. They're just frightened kids, after all, nothing has happened here in years, forgive them, Instant, if they're really aggressive, how can they do such a boring job as a cowboy in this town? My son really wanted to go outside and see the sea. ”
"What a wise man you are, Coriel, I promise you...... I wasn't going to hurt them. ”
"Thank you, Instant."
