72_72291 "Fokine, you're such a madman, and that's how we go?" And so we went! "A dark red RV is on its way to the Grand Canyon (the. grand。 On the road, Pedro's voice was crying in the trailer behind, completely devoid of the embarrassment and restraint just now, and the energetic shouting almost made people think that he was high again.

However, Pedro has just quit. When the drug came out, he just wore a sky blue T-shirt with sweatpants, and there was no place to hide anything on his body, not to mention poison. tasted, not even a cigarette or a coin, it was completely "pure". So, he's not hi at all, just excited, just excited.

Alfonso volunteered to drive, and the other four members gathered in the trailer behind. Since the group of five of them set off without any plan, and they didn't even know how much money they had on them, they finally decided to rent an RV, a relatively spacious bedroom that could allow three people to rest at the same time, and the RV also had a bathroom and kitchen to ensure that they would not actually sleep in the wilderness due to lack of preparation.

Now all they have is Hugo's huge hiking bag, which is why all four of them have come to the trailer, and they need to determine what they have and what they are missing, so that they can start preparing.

"Hugo, are we really going to the Grand Canyon?" Neil asked, uncertain.

Since they set off without any plan, leaving Malibu, and not even knowing which direction to go, it was Hugo who finally gave his opinion, "Of course, during my trip, countless friends told me that I must go to the Grand Canyon once in my life, and it is already a big regret in my life to miss it repeatedly." I had planned to make a special trip when I came back, and trust me, you won't regret it. Hugo's face shone brightly, and you could see the joy in his heart.

"But we didn't prepare anything, is it okay?" Neil was still a little worried.

I've taken many road trips to Glory to Death before, but that's all prepared in advance. This time it was different, the five of them were not prepared at all, Alfonso was even wearing an inconvenient shirt, and Pedro was clean and left the ring. The state of the poison station is more like it was picked up from a garbage dump.

Hugo waved his hand directly, "It's okay, when I was separated from Joe and Samora in Mexico City, I didn't have any preparations, and almost all the things in this backpack were accumulated little by little by me later." The most important meaning of travel is actually the accident, if everything is ready, then it is better to follow the tour group. ”

After a month of grinding, Hugo now seems to be a veteran, he is simply used to it, he skillfully uncovers his backpack, and begins to conjure up the contents one by one as if by magic, when Hugo actually takes out all the cooking utensils, everyone is dumbfounded.

"Who the hell are you? Give back the Hugo we knew! Pedro grabbed Hugo's shoulder with a look of surprise and said in surprise, causing Neil to laugh next to him, and even Fokine was impressed by Hugo.

In fact, Hugo is not very good at many trivial things in life, he can't cook, can't drive, can't recognize directions, can't read maps, can't pack luggage...... Even the hygiene at home is so-so, although Hugo is not an idiot in life, but his independent ability really can't bear to look at it directly.

But Hugo in front of him has transformed into a completely different posture, when Fokine saw Hugo take out a compass, he didn't hold back after all, or rolled his eyes, "Can you understand?" ”

Hugo shyly put the compass back and obediently put it in his palm, "It's just a friend's souvenir." At this moment, everyone immediately burst into laughter, and sure enough, it was still the Hugo they were familiar with.

Hugo is still the same Hugo, but he has begun to have the basic ability to survive in the wild, which is also the most novel thing about Hugo himself. He once thought that he had been running on the road all his life, and he should be familiar with these things, but this hike opened up a new world for Hugo, allowing him to really feel this world with his feet, and the original ordinary land was so complicated, so wonderful, so magical.

Hugo turned the compass over, "Look, there's a word on it." The three of them stuck their heads out at the same time, and actually bumped into each other, and then screamed together, so that Hugo was so happy that he handed the compass to Phokin, who was next to him, and motioned for him to take a look. I saw that the back of the compass read, "To Beloved Jack," and "This compass was bought by me and a homeless man in a place called Logon County, Kansas." Ty) was actually a hiker too, except that he was carrying a military backpack with all sorts of gadgets hanging from it, wearing clothes made of colorful patches, and a magician's top hat, and he called himself a shepherd. ”

Fujin turned the compass repeatedly, and gently checked it in the palm of his hand, you could feel the weight of the compass, the circle was grinded incomparably rounded, and countless scratches on it marked its vicissitudes, but these vicissitudes were smoothed, and it could be seen that the owner of the compass must have often put it in the palm of his hand and stroked it, so he smoothed out the edges and corners around it.

It's a compass with a story. Foquin handed it to Pedro, who was next to him, and Hugo continued, "He hadn't eaten for two meals at the time, and I had half a Spanish ham on me, so I gave him half in exchange for this compass." He told me that he had also obtained it from someone else, and that he had heard that the original owner was a veteran of the Vietnam War, but he was not able to return to the land. I guess that 'Jack' must be this veteran, and this should be given to him by his fiancée, or his mother, to take him to the battlefield and not forget the way home. ”

Hugo's plain words silenced the trailer, and only the sound of tires running over the road echoed quietly. Hugo chuckled and broke the silence, "I saw the shepherd again in Arkansas, but I was in the car and couldn't stop to say hello. By the way, the car I was in was also very interesting, it was a gypsy band's performance van. ”

"Gypsies?" Neil asked curiously.

"Yes, they are the real wandering people, and although they turned angry at me when they learned that I was a Jew, we became friends in the end." "I did a few shows with their band, I performed at an agricultural trade fair, I was a guitarist, and I was on the stage with a brown blanket......

Hugo stood up and described the performance of the day in a vivid voice, when Hugo said, "At that time, someone in the audience shouted, Hugo! Pedro even screamed in fright, expecting chaos and screaming, but then it took a dramatic turn, "and then they pulled me into the crowd and danced with everyone, God testify, it was a terrible scene", recalling Hugo's terrible dancing ability, even Fokine couldn't help but pat his thigh and laugh.

The little things left Los Angeles with the dark red RV and headed for Arizona. In fact, the members of Glory to Death can be said to be people with rich road travel experience, but they still feel extremely amazing when they listen to Hugo's experience.

Living on the road, walking on the road, seeing, hearing, and feeling the scenery is an incomputable wealth, becoming an irreplaceable part of life, eternally imprinted in the blood. Looking at Hugo's description of the flying eyebrows, almost every small object in the huge hiking bag is a story, and even the hiking bag itself has an unusual origin - it was exchanged between Hugo and a sports cowboy who had carried the bag across Asia and Europe.

Hearing Pedro's enthusiasm, he felt an impulse to go straight on the hike.

"If you want to really take the first step, you can do it anytime, but it has to be you alone because you're going to meet countless people along the way. When you walk on the road, you will realize that the world is so big and so magical. I have always believed that everyone will have a different perspective on the world, and that the colorful colors are the most wonderful thing about the world. ”

Hugo's words echoed slowly in the middle of the night, and the sound of the campfire burning in front of him became quieter and quieter. At this time, Glory to Death parked the car near the junction of California and Arizona, which was actually within the scope of the Grand Canyon National Park, but they did not look for a town to rest as usual, but under the guidance of Hugo, they found a campsite and settled directly in the wilderness.

Hugo skillfully arranged everything, lit a bonfire, and even exchanged wild boar with another group of Indians in the camp, and settled their dinner. This is undoubtedly a very positive impact on the members who are glorious to death. In the past, Neil was in charge, otherwise it was Alfonso or Fokine to assist, Hugo has always been the shopkeeper, but today Hugo has taken over all the initiative!

The rest of the band stared silently at the campfire in front of them, the scorching flames making the darkness around them seem cold, and Neil suddenly spoke, "So, is that why you want to keep going?" ”

Hugo did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while, and then spoke softly, "I will not say this, but it is undeniable that this trip has given me a different perspective, given me the opportunity to re-see my current life situation, and allowed me to jump out of the framework of Hollywood, re-understand the world, and re-understand myself." The world is so big, the circle we live in is always so small, every once in a while, we need to get out of the fixed circle of life to see the outside world, otherwise all the passion and fighting spirit will slowly wear out. ”

For example, glory unto death
