Chapter 123: All Saints' Eve
The two who were ready could finally be idle. [
Shi Lei thought, since it's Halloween, how can it be done without horror movies? It's just that the movie theater is already overcrowded, there are people who want to go in during the day to watch movies, and there are people who wait in line for tickets for night shows, but basically without exception, they are all moviegoers who want to watch all kinds of horror movies.
Shi Lei felt that it was too troublesome to go to the cinema, and there was no atmosphere, so it was better for the two of them to enjoy the world of two people at home, so Shi Lei called Lola together and ran to his own private theater.
Shi Lei closed the doors and windows, closed the blackout curtains, took out the newly bought Blu-ray DVD, and in the terrifying atmosphere created by the 7.1-channel surround sound impression, he watched this popular horror film with Laura with some trepidation.
The picture released from the high-definition projection screen is still very shocking, which makes the hearts of the two people nervous.
After experiencing the power of a horror movie, Shi Lei and Laura finished dinner early, put the two jack-o-lanterns at the gate of the ranch and in front of the main house respectively, and lit the candles, so that they could see the storage of the jack-o'-lanterns from afar, and also let the children who were eager for more harvest know that there were candy to take in the stone ranch.
Just when Shi Lei and Laura were a little nervously looking forward to which children would come to ask for candy, in the bustling downtown Los Angeles, tens of thousands of people were gathering on Santa Monica Avenue in Los Angeles to participate in the annual Halloween carnival in West Hollywood, Los Angeles.
The people of Midi have only one large-scale program for the celebration of all festivals, and that is the carnival parade, and Halloween is of course no exception.
People dress up in various shapes and walk down the streets as if they have traveled to a supernatural world. On Halloween Eve, hundreds of thousands of people attend the revelry, making the Halloween festivities in Los Angeles one of the biggest Halloween celebrations in the world.
Laura told Shi Lei that there would be such a carnival, but Shi Lei, who had seen the parade, said that he had no expectations for it. It's not very cold, and Laura is not very yearning for such a large event, but both of them are very interested in trick-or-treating without sugar, so they both stay on the ranch.
In Shi Lei's eager anticipation, the first batch of children who came to trick or treat finally arrived.
Hearing the doorbell, Shi Lei rushed to the door, and Laura had already prepared to take out the box containing chocolates and various candies, so she was one step behind Shi Lei.
As soon as Shi Lei opened the door, there were two bear children dressed as Batman and Spider-Man standing at the door and saw the door open. shouted at Shi Lei, who was dressed as a ruiner, "If you don't give sugar, you will be trick-or-treated".
Seeing the candy handed over by Laura, the two little ones consciously took out their small baskets, picked out some content they were interested in from the candy box, and politely said thank you, and then began to urge their father to go to the next house.
It can be seen that Shi Lei is their first stop, because the basket was still empty before, and these two children Shi Lei is also very familiar, because the father who follows them is Garcia, a cowboy from the ranch.
His outfit was very simple, just a little red paint on his cowboy hat. A small round hole was also left to make the effect of being shot in the head.
Shi Lei was full of curiosity about this event before, and he made some preparations in advance, after obtaining Garcia's consent. Shi Lei took out the SLR camera that he had prepared a long time ago, took a few photos of Garcia's family, and put Laura, who was wearing the bodysuit of the destroyer and the dress of King Ida, in front of the camera. Take a picture of yourself and Laura plus Garcia's family.
This is the first time in Shi Lei's life, and Garcia's family is the first wave of Boy Scouts to be received, which is very commemorative for Shi Lei. So it's also a good idea to take a commemorative photo.
Shi Lei and Garcia laughed a few words, said goodbye to the two bear children, and walked towards the gate of the ranch with the excited two little guys. Their second stop was to go to the worker's house where they lived, and began knocking on Hanks' door.
Then several other bear children in the ranch also ran to Shi Lei and knocked on the door, shouting "If you don't give candy, you will be trick-or-treated", they also regarded Shi Lei as their first stop, and then set off outside.
When the children on the ranch had received candy from Shi Lei, Shi Lei and Laura were temporarily idle.
The stone ranch is located on the outskirts of Golita, so the surrounding area is relatively sparsely populated, and most of the children in the urban area will go around the city to fill up a pot, and many will not run to the suburbs.
Even those who want to run to the suburbs will definitely have to travel a long way through the city to get here, so Shi Lei and Laura can't see the children from outside for the time being.
In the process of waiting, Shi Lei and Laura were not idle, but were playing with a few pets, and then Shi Lei came up with a way to increase the horror effect, that is, when there were any more children who came to mischief, they would go out with a cougar hairball to greet them.
This kind of frightening effect must be relatively powerful, Shi Lei and Laura agreed on this plan with a smile, in the name of better exercising the children's courage.
When Shi Lei and Laura were looking to see the scary effect of the big cat, the first team of unlucky people finally arrived.
Hearing the knock on the door, Shi Lei and Laura pretended to be serious, let the hairball walk in front and then pulled the door open, and then heard four neat "trick-or-treating".
When it came to the back, there was obviously some hesitation in the voice, and when Shi Lei and Laura looked over, the four little guys had already drawn their weapons in their hands, looking vigilant.
Outside, there are four boys dressed as the four Teenage Turtles of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, who still look like rare quadruplets, and the man next to them who looks like their dad is presumably the image of Mr. Sprint dressed as him.
At this time, the four little guys who were nervous had already taken off the weapons on the backs of the four turtles, the katana, nunchucks, the katana, and the ninja double prongs were all the same, and they were looking at the hairball with a wary face, and the posture was very decent. Their father took the lead and got in front of the four children.
Shi Lei smiled a little embarrassedly and said to the four children:
"Don't worry, it's my pet called Furball. Come on, hairballs. Say hello to the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. ”
Listening to Shi Lei's instructions, the hairball raised a front paw in time and waved his claws at the four little guys, and the big face also made a smile with a smile, but the effect was not so good, and the four little guys were scared to take a step back.
"Ah, haha, this is your candy, you can choose as you like." Shi Lei touched his nose with some weakness and decisively changed the topic.
"I've heard that there's a mountain lion on this side of the Stone Pasture. It's just that we didn't expect to see it suddenly this time, and we haven't prepared for it yet. The father of four children explained with a little embarrassment.
"But the four little ones have been clamoring to come and see the furballs, and they have heard many other children who have been to the ranch mention the hairballs, but they are all in school, so they have not had time to come, and this time they have got their wish." The dad, dressed as Mr. Sprint, continued.
"Ah, it's our pleasure. The four little guys are very good, and they deserve to be manly. And having four such cute little guys at the same time is really an enviable thing. ”
Shi Lei's praise is definitely from the bottom of his heart. Four little guys who are only so big, it is very worthy of recognition to have such a table when they meet a fierce beast.
"Haha, in order to take care of the four brothers who were born at the same time, it has exhausted me and their mother. As soon as one cries, all four start crying, and we are always in a hurry.
However, having these four awesome guys is also our greatest luck. "This dad seems to be a hearty person too. When it comes to their own children, there is no shortage of pride.
"Big brother and beautiful sister, can we play with the furball?" There were timid voices of four little guys next to him, and they were quite good at pleasing people. didn't call Uncle Shi Lei, and specifically said that Laura was a beautiful sister.
"Of course, the furball is very docile, and the children who have been to the ranch have played well with it."
didn't wait for Shi Lei to say anything, Laura, who was happy to be called by a beautiful sister next to her, had already readily agreed.
"Dad, don't forget to take a picture of us." The four little guys put down the candy basket in their hands, and then they all ran to the furball, and played with the hairball very well, and did not forget to let their father take a picture of him.
At first, they were a little cautious about their contact with the furball, and after a while, they played with the furball, and after their father put their candy in the car, he also came back with a camera, and after asking Shi Lei and Laura's opinion, he took pictures of the four little guys and the hairball.
Shi Lei and Laura also like these four little guys very much, and they also took out their own SLR, and after asking their father's opinion, they took a lot of photos with this family.
The four little guys also took the trouble to sort out their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles suits, and they really looked like that.
Shi Lei chatted with this dad for a long time, and Laura happily played with the four little guys next to him, and after a while, the dad who felt that it was almost the same, called the quadruplets to say goodbye together, and the four little guys were also very polite to say goodbye to Shi Lei and Laura.
Shi Lei and the father also exchanged contact information, so that they could come to the ranch to play if they had time in the future.
The four little guys are indeed very likable, even if they are gone, Shi Lei and Laura are still talking about their cousins in their chat.
After sending off the family of the four little guys, Shi Lei and the others successively ushered in several batches of children who came to mischief, but most of these little guys who came over had played with the bear children in the ranch, and they all knew about the storage of hairballs for a long time, and many of them often played with hairballs.
So when they saw the little tricksters running out to greet the hairballs, they didn't show any panic at all, but happily played with the hairballs one by one, which made Shi Lei, who had a bad taste, feel a little boring.
At more than 10 o'clock in the evening local time, after Shi Lei and the others sent away the last batch of troublemakers, they finally completely relaxed, and Shi Lei and Laura, whose interest had long been not so high, were also a little tired, so they hurriedly washed and fell asleep.
