Pushing the luggage of the two people, Murphy followed David Robbie and got out of the airport, Carey Mulligan tightened his beige coat, which is different from the heat of Los Angeles, which is in the relatively low temperature season of the year, although it is not cold, but if the wind blows, it can still make people feel a chill.

The exit of the airport was full of people, and Kerry Mulligan held Murphy's clothes tightly, still muttering, "It's weird, it seems like it's suddenly coming from summer to winter." ”

When the wind blew again, and the branches of a nearby tree rattled, Murphy turned to look at Carey Mulligan, and saw that she was dressed thickly enough, so he relieved himself, and reached out to remove the baseball cap that hung from her waist and fastened it to the dazzling short blond hair.

"Be careful." Murphy advised, "Don't catch a cold. ”

The temperature here is actually not low, but coming from the hot Los Angeles can easily cause discomfort.

Kerry Mulligan stepped forward and pulled the zipper of Murphy's coat up, "You never knew how to take care of yourself. ”

As soon as Murphy said something, the car called by David Robbie in front of him came, quickly picked up his luggage, put it in the trunk of the car, and pulled Carey Mulligan into the back seat.

David Robbie, who was in the co-pilot, told the driver a place name, and the car did not enter the city of Brisbane, but drove directly towards the Gold Coast in the east.

"It's a long way." David Robbie turned to Murphy and said, "Sleep, I'll call you when it's time." ”

Murphy nodded, he was fine, Kerry Mulligan next to him had been yawning constantly because of the jet lag.

"I squint." Kerry Mulligan's head was tilted over Murphy's shoulder.

"Sleep." Murphy tightened her clothes for her.

The car was moving smoothly, Carey Mulligan quickly fell asleep, and Murphy looked out the window at the backward scene, not knowing when he also fell asleep.

A jolt woke Murphy from his sleep, and Kerry Mulligan next to him seemed to have woken up and was boredly fiddling with a Sony handheld game console, he turned his head to look out the window, there was no shadow of any buildings, and all he could see was large areas of farmland.

Perhaps because of the season, the farmland looks a little dilapidated, and occasionally some wild deer can be seen bouncing around in it.

"There are no big carnivores in the wild in Australia, and it's vast and sparsely populated." David Robbie, who was in the passenger seat, noticed Murphy and looked at the wild deer, "These deer have no natural predators, they reproduce quickly, and like hares, they are a problem that plagues all farmers. ”

Kerry Mulligan also looked out the car window and suddenly said, "We forgot to buy a shotgun!" ”

David Robbie laughed, "There are a lot of shotguns on the farm. Kerry, you can take your pick. ”

"Great!" Kerry Mulligan is looking forward to his first hunt.

A few more miles on, at the end of the field appeared a farmstead, not very large, but as the distance drew closer, Murphy could see that there were stables near the farm, and the neighing of the horses was faintly heard.

"It's coming soon!" David Robbie's face was full of excitement to go home, "Murphy, Carrey, you're going to love it here." ”

Although you can't see the most beautiful scenery this season, Murphy is still interested in the endless fields and the farmstead that looks like a unique style.

As the car approached the farmstead, David Robbie lowered the window, seemingly impatient.

The neighing of the horses sounded again, and suddenly a horse ran out of the stable, rushing directly to the car, Murphy turned his head to see, it was a pony that had not yet grown up, black hair was shiny in the sun, and the knight on the horse was not tall, wearing an equestrian helmet, wearing a slightly shabby denim suit, skillfully controlling the horse galloping.

Some distance away, the knight on the horse grabbed the reins with one hand and raised the other hand to greet him.

David Robbie shook his head and laughed, "I haven't seen her in a year, she's still so wild!" ”

The car and the horse got closer and closer, and just as they staggered by, the horse spun in a semicircle, chased after him from behind, and ran on the side of the co-pilot of the slowing car.

Only then did Murphy see that the knight on the pony was not tall and should be a child, and from behind the equestrian helmet, he could faintly see blonde hair like David Robbie.

"Hey, David!" Immediately, the knight's voice was childish and crisp, "I've been waiting for half an afternoon!" ”

"I'm sorry!" David Robbie stuck his head out and said loudly over there, "The plane is late." ”

Kerry Mulligan had been looking over there with envy, "There's a horse to ride here!" ”

"You can ride a horse?" Murphy asked her, and Kerry Mulligan quickly shook his head, "No, but you can learn." ”

The car slowed down and finally stopped at the door of the farmstead, David Robbie got out of the car first, and Murphy pushed the door open and walked down.

The neighing of the horses sounded again, and the black pony circled around the car, and stood firmly in front of the car, and the knight above turned over and dismounted, threw the reins in his hand, and rushed to David Robbie, who opened his hands to hug, but was greeted by a small white fist.

The fist was solid and hammered twice in his chest, as if the strength was not small, and the pain made David Robbie grin continuously.

"Don't let you go home!" The crisp voice sounded again, "Don't let you go home!" ”

David Robbie stopped hugging anymore, quickly took a big step back, turned his head to look, and asked, "What about Daddy and Mommy?" ”

The little knight put away his fists, clenched his fists in both hands, tilted his head and looked at David Robbie from top to bottom, and said, "Daddy is on a business trip, and Mom takes Julie to Grandma on the West Coast, and they won't be back until a week, so it's just me and a bunch of hired laborers." ”

She nodded David Robbie with her chin, "I'm waiting for you here, that's interesting, right?" ”

After speaking, he hooked his finger at David Robbie again, "What about the gift?" ”

David Robbie glanced at Murphy and Carey Mulligan and reminded, "I'll talk about the gifts later, there are guests." ”

He dragged the little knight over to Murphy and introduced, "This is my sister Maggie. ”

The little knight looked wild, but he also knew how to be polite, and immediately took off his helmet and smiled at Murphy and the others.

"This is Murphy," David Robbie continued, "and this is Carrey. ”

Although the other party was a child, Murphy was a guest and still greeted him very formally, "Hello, Murphy Stanton, from Los Angeles." ”

"You're the amazing director David said you had?" Her eyes widened at first, then she thought about it again, and said with a grin, "I'm Margaret, and you can call me Maggie like David." ”

Carey Mulligan greeted her in the same way as Murphy, and then looked at the black pony curiously, "Are you fifteen?" He even knew how to ride a horse. ”

"I'm almost twelve," said Margaret proudly, "and I learned to ride a horse at the age of eight." ”

In terms of appearance, she is indeed in her early tens.

"Alright, don't talk about it here."

There was still a cold wind outside, and David Robbie walked to the trunk of the car, "Let's get our bags in first." ”

He beckoned to his sister, "Maggie, come and help." ”

"I'll do it anyway." Murphy was embarrassed to let a child carry something for him, and hurriedly walked over, "It's enough for the two of us." ”

After taking off his luggage and paying the fare, the group dragged their luggage and walked towards the farmstead, Murphy looked around curiously as he walked, this kind of large farm was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, and he was somewhat curious.

The farm covers two acres of land, and in addition to stables and shelters, there is also a large warehouse near which workers gather the harvested pasture.

Along the way, the little girl's riding boots clattered on the ground, causing Kerry Mulligan to keep looking over there.

Murphy and David Robbie walked in front with their luggage, and the two girls were left behind.

Seeing Carrie Mulligan looking at herself, Margaret moved closer to her, stared at Murphy in front of her, and asked, "Is he really a director?" ”

Carey Mulligan looked at the other man's face with baby fat, "yes, your brother is an employee of his crew. ”

"That's it......" Margaret thought for a moment and looked at Murphy's back suspiciously, "It doesn't look like it, aren't all directors with big beards and look full of gray hair?" ”

Carey Mulligan was also looking at Murphy's back, but there was adoration in his eyes, "There are always people who are exceptions, like him. ”

Walking into the farmhouse, David Robbie arranged a room for Murphy first, and when she saw Carey Mulligan and Murphy living in the same house, Margaret was shocked, "You guys are boyfriend and girlfriend?" ”

"Honey," David Robbie nudged her slightly, "you're so slow to react. ”

Margaret stuck out her tongue at him, turned around and ran downstairs, "I'll take care of Emma!" Remember to call me at the stables for dinner. ”

David Robbie explained to Murphy, "Emma is the little dark horse. ”

He looked at the time, "You guys rest first, and I'll call you at dinner." ”

Although they slept in the car for a while, Murphy and Carey Mulligan were still a little tired due to the jet lag, and they did not refuse, and after David Robbie went downstairs, he closed the door and simply sorted out his luggage, and then went to bed with jet lag.

It wasn't until it was dark that the two were woken up by a knock on the door, and after freshening up, they went to the restaurant on the first floor, where a sumptuous meal was already on the table.

The only people in the dining room were Murphy, Kerry Mulligan, and David Robbie, and the atmosphere was not bad, Margaret was a little wild, but very polite, and many times she could get together with Kerry Mulligan and mumble about the topic of girls.

David Robbie knew what Murphy and Carey Mulligan were interested in coming here, and after dinner the next morning, he took the two to the gun store in the basement. (To be continued.) )
