"You're Jack Taylor?" Hugo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in surprise, "I remember that Jack should be over sixty this year, right?"

"You're talking about my father, Old Jack, and I'm Little Jack." Little Jack smiled and said, "You know my father?" Little Jack didn't expect that this young man in his twenties in front of him was not the first time to come to the town, but looking at his appearance, he didn't look like a tourist who came to the town for the first time.

Hugo recalled it carefully, and vaguely remembered that the son of Old Jack Taylor was indeed called Little Jack Taylor, but when he was still in Lanches, Little Jack Taylor seemed to have gone out to study, so there was not much contact.

Just as Hugo fell into a memory, Little Jack put his hands on his waist and frowned slightly, "Sir, have I seen you, I always think you are very familiar." Little Jack racked his brains to try to refresh his memory, Lanches was a small town, and as a police detective, most of the townspeople knew each other, even if they couldn't name them, so he was sure he should have seen this person.

Then little Jack saw the young man in front of him 'show' a shallow smile, and then his memory was awakened in an instant, "Hey, you're Hugo, right?" That kid from the Lancasters!"

Hugo really didn't expect that Little Jack would remember him, because in his memory, he had very little contact with Little Jack, after all, there was a teenage age gap between the two, and even when Lancaster was still in Lanches, the two couldn't play together. But even so, Hugo nodded, "Yes." ”

"Boy, it's really you, no wonder I said why you are so familiar." Little Jack excitedly patted Hugo's arm, then turned back to the other three people at the gas station and shouted, "This is the Lancaster boy." The three cowboys also suddenly realized, raised the cowboy hats in their hands, and greeted Hugo.

Little Jack looked back at Hugo and said with a smile, "I heard that you went to Los Angeles to act, and Michelle asked me to go to the theater to see your movie, saying that your movie is praised by everyone very good, and it seems that you are also a big star now." Little Jack gushed, but didn't seem to seek Hugo's answer, he continued, "So, you've come back to see Adam, he's been getting better lately, unlike in January, when he coughed so badly that the doctor told him to quit smoking, but you know, it's almost impossible for them, and my dad was coughing all the time, but if he was told not to 'smoke', he immediately chased me around with a shotgun." ”

After a short pause in Hugo's thoughts, with little Jack's continuous steps forward, he finally began to slowly run, he listened to the news in Little Jack's words, but his heart set off a turbulent 'wave'. He never knew that Adam's health was not good, because every time he called Adam, the two of them broke up unhappily, recalling Adam's broken gong-like voice, could it be that he was harmed by nicotine?

"How many years have you not been back, ten years?" Little Jack still said enthusiastically, "At the beginning of the year, my dad came back from Cheyenne, holding the poster of your movie, and making the town very lively for a while, everyone was discussing your childhood, originally thought that those memories were gone, who knows, looking at your appearance on the poster, all the memories came out." There is also a group of people who organize to go to Cheyenne to see your movie, and I heard that it is very good, which makes Michelle want to watch it all the time. ”

There is no cinema in the town of Lanches, so if you want to see a movie, you have to drive to Cheyenne, but fortunately it is not far from a fifteen-minute drive. Hugo can imagine that the simple residents of the town were "excited" when they found out that the 'hairy' child who had grown up beside him actually appeared on the big screen, so they spontaneously organized to go to the cinema to express their support, this kindness and enthusiasm from the countryside made people's hearts warm.

"You've got another movie coming out this time, right? I heard that it was a romance movie, but Michelle was 'excited', and I planned to take her to Cheyenne for a date next week, and by the way, I went to the cinema to see it. Little Jack said with a fist, and then looked at Hugo with a big smile, "If everyone in the town knows that you are back, it will definitely be lively." ”

In the face of little Jack's enthusiasm, Hugo really couldn't say the fact that he planned to leave in the afternoon. But on the other hand, Hugo couldn't help but be a little curious, isn't it easy to spread gossip in such a small town? So why didn't little Jack know that he had a bad relationship with Adam, that Adam drove Lena away, that he fell out with Adam and went to Los Angeles, and that he didn't come back for ten years...... These things are the focus of gossip, but why doesn't little Jack seem to know anything about it? Especially since he is also a police detective in the town, this is simply a gossip receiving station.

Walking side by side with little Jack, Hugo approached the direction of his home step by step, although he had not returned for ten years, but the surrounding scenery was so familiar, the simple and dilapidated log cabin soon appeared in sight, Hugo knew that it was the convenience store opened by Adam. Adam is an old carpenter, an old cowboy, his carpentry skills are among the best in the town, and he also runs a convenience store, which is the best business in the town, old enough to be owned by the locals, and has the unanimous support of the townspeople.

Before walking to the wooden house, Hugo's footsteps were a little hesitant, and couldn't help but slow down, this is not only the cowardice of homesickness, the tension before Lancaster and Chen Hugo was about to meet his father invaded in an instant, the double pressure made Hugo feel that his steps were a thousand pounds, although he had already had several 'exchanges' with Adam on the phone, but he didn't know how the situation would develop after the real meeting. The 'chaos' and 'chaos' caused by this incident are obviously still not over.

Little Jack sensed Hugo's hesitation, and he turned back and said, "Don't worry, Adam won't say anything to you, haven't you succeeded?" That's why you're only willing to come back now, right? So, there is no need to think so much. Little Jack's words left Hugo confused, what is this and what? But little Jack obviously had no intention of explaining further, he turned around and pointed to a corner of the convenience store's 'door', "Look, Adam has already put up your movie poster, which means that he has recognized your success, doesn't it?"

Hugo's eyes followed Little Jack's gesture and saw the poster of "Sleepless in Seattle" pasted in a very conspicuous position, which made Hugo a little stunned. Because on the phone, Adam has never been interested in his film work, even if he wants to take the initiative to mention it, Adam is disdainful and unwilling to talk about it at all, making it clear that he is not satisfied with his work as an actor. But now......

"Jack," Hugo finally spoke, just now it was little Jack who was talking alone, but at this time Hugo had to put out the question in his heart, "I haven't been back for ten years, what did my father say?"

"He said you decided to become an actor, but he didn't agree, so he kicked you out of the house and didn't go home until you succeeded." Little Jack said simply, "Hugo, we all know that it is not easy for you, at the beginning, many old people in the town stood up to condemn your father for this matter, even if he did not agree with your desire to want a member actor, he should not kick you out of the house, you know, you have always been a well-behaved child, and you have not done anything wrong." At least you've always stayed away from fighting, alcoholism, and drugs. Taste this terrible thing......"

Hugo didn't have time to laugh at himself, because Lancaster was sucking. The overdose caused him to cross, and more of his thoughts were occupied by Little Jack's previous words: Adam actually said that he kicked himself out of the house? And he also took all the mistakes on his shoulders, leaving all the blame of the townspeople on him.

No wonder little Jack is not at all curious about Hugo's ten years not coming back, because he thinks that this is the time when Hugo is struggling, and even if Hugo wants to come back, Adam does not agree. But the fact is that he chose to run away from home, he fell out with his father, and he didn't want to go home......

Hugo's mind was a little 'confused' and 'chaotic', the situation he knew was very different from the current situation, he couldn't sort it out immediately, he needed a little time, or he needed to talk to Adam face to face.

But before Hugo and Little Jack could react further, when they were still two steps away from the convenience store, there was a fierce quarrel in the convenience store, "How dare you! I told you that Hugo's choice was not wrong!" The voice was clearly Adam's rough voice.

"You're crazy! I'm just talking about the fact that Hugo shouldn't have been in this kind of sissy movie, John Wayne. wayne) should be the goal of Hugo!" The other voice was very low, the hoarse Cheng dù was even stricter than Adam, some familiar, but more still unfamiliar, Hugo faintly felt that this voice should have been known when he was a child.

"Shut up! I went to see that movie, so I'm a sissy too? No, you guy who doesn't dare to admit that movies are good is the real sissy. Adam said angrily, and coughed violently after finishing speaking, but he still gasped and roared, "I sue you, Hugo's kid's cleverness is something you can't understand, he will choose this movie and naturally have his ideas, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you stupid old cowboy, don't you remember when Hugo made you speechless when he was a child?"

There was silence in the convenience store, only Adam's cough sounded, and after about two seconds, another voice rang out, and said depressedly, "Since you have so much faith in your boy, why don't you sue him?" When the media was talking nonsense before, it was up to you to jump at home, and you didn't have the courage to make a phone call to that kid, cut. ”

Adam didn't answer, just coughed violently, as if his lungs were going to be coughed out.
