Chapter 122: The Cowboy Princess
After the old Peake left, Fei Li took Li Cheng around the Liuhua Ranch, and the first thing he came to was a wooden church in the pasture area, which was different from the magnificent churches in Europe, but a simple wooden church, a village church that had been washed with lead, but it was solemn and solemn.
I only heard Fei Li say: "The partners in the neighborhood will hold weddings here, it is an indispensable building for our Liufa Ranch, and the pastor is also a good person, often prays for us, he has been here for more than 40 years, he is over 60 years old this year, he is a respected old pastor, Cheng, you have the opportunity to throw yourself into the arms of God." ”
It seems that Fili is a strong believer, and she has to grow the number of believers at any time! Of course, Li Cheng didn't say much, shifted the topic elsewhere, and said, "Then Miss Fei Li, you will choose to be in the Liuhua Church when you get married in the future?" ”
"Of course, it's an honor for all of us at Liufa Ranch." Fei Li's expression is extremely religious, people who have faith will have much less emptiness in their hearts, Li Cheng will not comment on this, after all, he and Fei Li have different beliefs, talking too much about this matter will lead to the beginning of the debate, which is not conducive to Li Cheng's inspection of the Liufa Ranch, so Li Cheng walked around the Liuhua Church, and after praising a few words, he and Fei Li walked together to the activity area of the ranch, that is, in the reading fence for horseback riding, which is an area dedicated to cowboys, and tourists will not ride horses here, there are many rodeo props in it, For example, rollers, lassoes, etc., are all essential links in rodeo.
I saw that Fili, the cowboy princess, led a pure-blooded Arabian horse with a saddle on it, and seemed to want to give Li Cheng a show, Li Cheng was very curious about how Fili would show her riding skills without a saddle?
"Miss Fili, be careful, I heard old Peake say that riding without a saddle is extremely dangerous." As a man, Li Cheng has the obligation to show the gentlemanly side, standing next to the Arabian horse, intending to help him, but Fei Li rejected Li Cheng's kindness and chuckled: "Li, don't underestimate me Fei Li, in the last rodeo, I won without a saddle over the barrel." ”
The name of the cowboy princess, not anyone can be called, in addition to having superb riding skills, but also have a beautiful appearance, Fei Li has both, this is undoubted, its charming smile, let Li Cheng like a spring breeze, behind the confident smile, I have to say that it is hard training, Fei Li, who is in her 20s, has been learning riding since she was a child, living with horses, it is easy to perceive the emotional fluctuations of horses, and reach the realm of unity between people and horses.
A beautiful turn-over horse, without a saddle, proves that the stirrup does not exist, which also shows that Fei Li's jumping ability is good, under the height of more than 1.7 meters, she can jump on the back of the horse, which shows that her ability is not simple.
After getting on the horse, Li Cheng followed Fei Li's instructions, rolling the oil drum with sky blue paint, and set up an obstacle for Fei Li to cross with the Arabian horse, a beautiful jump, the moving barrel is more difficult to cross than the fixed one, and a carelessness will cause people to turn over on their backs, fall the horse at high speed, and lie down in the hospital for a month is normal, and it will also lead to phase break! Such a high-risk action from the hands of a cowboy princess is complete, and it is actually more of a test of psychological endurance.
After Fei Li crossed the three oil drums, in the case of Li Cheng's stunned, an elegant dismounting action made Li Cheng applaud unconsciously, such an excellent cowboy princess is still quite rare, and her riding skills are no less exquisite than that of professional equestrians!
"Miss Fili, your riding skills have really opened my eyes, amazing." Li Cheng sincerely boasted, so that Fei Li seemed to be full of strength, the young cowboy princess still inevitably had the intention of showing off, in the arrival of the foreign rancher, so that Fei Li, as the daughter of the Liufa rancher, naturally had to do something, so as to deter Li Cheng.
It's normal for young people to be competitive and show off, let alone Filip, who is known as a cowboy princess? Li Cheng doesn't think that Fei Li has done anything inappropriate, at least this kind of mobile roller project, Li Cheng has not seen it, the old Peake in the grizzly bear ranch does not often train this kind of skills, and Noah and others are not traditional cowboys, so they have little experience in this kind of work, and pay more attention to the training of riding skills in actual combat, such as the use of spears to attack prey in movement, although the difficulty is not much worse than this traditional western rodeo, but it is undeniable that the performance of crossing the barrel will really be shocking.
When Kankan was ready to put down the horse's feet, he saw that the rider on the horseback seemed to notice something unusual, and after pulling the water rope, the horse received the order, jumped up, the posture was graceful, and the order was decisive, which is why the rodeo festival in July every year attracts a large number of tourists from all over the world, which is a visual feast!
After dismounting, Fei Li took a lasso, untied the silk scarf hanging on her chest, blindfolded her, and said, "Li, don't move." ”
In the case that Li Cheng was completely unconscious, Fei Li flicked the lasso beautifully, Li Cheng was firmly lassoed a few meters away, Fei Li untied the rope and said: "Blindfolded lasso, this is also a rodeo in rodeo, if you blindfold on horseback, it is even more difficult." ”
"Uh, Miss Fili, are you a horse for me?" Li Cheng was speechless and choked, he was put on before he was psychologically prepared, it was indeed a little embarrassing, Fei Li's series of cowboy performances made Li Cheng understand the important surname of an excellent cowboy, especially the cowgirl, for tourists, exotic cowgirl, if the equestrian skills are exquisite, when teaching tourists, it will be very attractive, Li Cheng secretly pondered for a while, is it to dig up Fei Li? It's just that it is extremely difficult to poach her as the daughter of the Liufa rancher, of course, this is just an idea of Li Cheng, and he takes recruiting cowgirls as a criterion for expanding employees.
At present, the male cowboy Li Cheng is not very needed, and there are almost no cowgirls in the grizzly bear ranch, but the focus on cultivating the Eskimo huntress Lulu can be considered, let her show her strength at the rodeo festival in July, and get a title, then the reputation of the grizzly bear ranch will not only increase, but also attract a lot of tourists, and the 15-year-old Lulu is also quite pure and beautiful, and has more primitive wildness than Fili, is it a dark horse of the Stampede? The Stampede in July is also a time for ranches to pick up cowboys, and the cowboys who stand out in this competition will trigger a round of recruitment for ranchers! Naturally, the treatment is several times higher than that of ordinary cowboys, which is why cowboys will come to Calgary, a place that has always been an important battle for Canadian cowboys and American cowboys.
Just when Li Cheng and Fei Li were talking, a white cowboy of more than one meter and eight meters walked over, playing with a Nepalese saber in his hand, this saber was like a part of his body in his hand, rotating many times in space and being firmly caught by it, throwing it sideways, crotch throwing, no matter where it was thrown, it couldn't hurt the cowboy in the slightest, and the blade of the sharp Nepalese saber was extremely dazzling in the sun.
"Fili, where are you putting on a show again, how many times has my father told you, rodeos are not for showing off, but for a sacred thing." The cowboy seems to have a close relationship with Filip, and directly scolds Princess Fili Cowboy, which shows that she is either a boyfriend or a brother and sister.
Sure enough, Fei Li's words made Li Cheng discover the identity of the person who came.
"Temple, aren't you still showing? I don't know how many years you've used the broken knife, and those who don't know still think you can't afford to buy a new knife. After Fei Li mocked, she then said to Li Cheng: "This is my eldest brother's English name is Smith, Chinese famous hall." ”
And a Chinese name? Li Cheng is quite strange, no wonder Fei Li called Smith's pronunciation very special, Li Cheng is still thinking about what kind of word that pronunciation is, it turns out to be the Chinese word "hall"!
I took a closer look at this white man, probably in his 30s, handsome, a black cowboy hat, no decoration, a plaid shirt, blue jeans, the belt was more conspicuous, a more exaggerated belt buckle, the material seemed to be a precious metal, an oval belt buckle, with a line of words written in English gilt, which seemed to be a championship title.
According to Li Cheng's later understanding, this was the trophy of the temple, and he won the honor of riding a bison without a saddback at the Stampede Festival.
It is worth noting that a Chinese tattoo on Smith's neck told Li Cheng why he was called "Dian", and the tattoo on it was a hall with Chinese Song characters.
"Hello, my name is Cheng, I am the rancher of Grizzly Bear Ranch, I came to Liufa Ranch through the introduction of Old Peake, I am very happy to meet you, Temple!" Li Cheng stepped forward to shake hands with Smith, as the eldest son of the rancher, the temple looked very kind, and neatly put away the knife, put the Nepalese saber into the leather sheath, and shook it with Li Cheng with a rough and powerful hand.
The strength of the handshake is also very particular, if it is too heavy, it will look very abrupt, and if it is too light, it will make people think that you are a sick man. After the two got to know each other, Dian, the so-called "knife idiot", paid attention to the uniquely shaped handle and leather goods on Li Cheng's waist, and said: "Cheng, you are also very good at sabers?" I see you're wearing a custom-made Damascus saber. ”
"Yes, it was a gift from an Eskimo chief as a testimony to our friendship." Li Cheng's words made both brothers and sisters a little stunned, making friends with the leader of the Eskimos? They have also seen the Eskimos, but they don't seem to be able to understand it deeply, these natives have an innate contempt for whites or outsiders, although many of the Eskimos are now integrated into society, but the Eskimos who really exist in the mountains and forests rarely interact with people, let alone the leader level.
Therefore, Li Cheng's inadvertent words made the two of them have to pay attention to Li Cheng, and they can get acquainted with the leader of the first-class Eskimos, so it can be seen that equestrianism is definitely not ordinary?
Li Cheng didn't know what their brothers and sisters thought, but asked the rancher Jones about the whereabouts, after all, when he came to someone's land, he always had to visit, as a neighbor, Li Cheng had to have a good contact with Jones Lao to further learn the successful experience of Liuhua Ranch.
"Temple, your father Jones is not on the ranch?"
"Yes, he went to town this morning to buy some supplies, and he will probably be back in the evening."
"Oh, that's a shame."
Li Cheng is looking forward to what old Jones looks like, to be able to breed such an outstanding two cowboys, it can be seen that his quality in all aspects is extremely strong, and he can become friends with the old generation of professional cowboys, which shows that old Jones is not bad, the reason why old Jones did not establish a ranch is mainly not like old Jones who has the blessing of his ancestors and has a large inheritance, so he can buy a ranch and become a frequent visitor to the Canadian ranch travel list.
At this time, Dian pulled out the Nepalese saber again, played with a knife flower, and said: "Cheng, do you know what is the highest level of using a knife?" ”
"No knife is better than a knife." Li Cheng's inexplicable words made the hall who was still brewing emotions cry and laugh in an instant, and his momentum dropped in a flash, and Fei Lile, who was standing next to him, laughed and squatted on the ground, a little exaggerated.
"Cheng, I mean seriously."
"I'm also very serious about answering."
Li Cheng's words further strengthened the two siblings' inquisitive hearts about this Asian rancher, and Smith, a cowboy known in Chinese as "Dian", took Li Cheng to a wooden table and sat down, only to see him holding a knife in his backhand and putting his other hand on the table, spreading his five fingers.
"Knock knock-" The dull voice came, it turned out that the temple was self-harming, it seemed to be a self-harming action, in fact, every knife was inserted into the gap between the fingers, which tested the proficiency of the knife and the coordination of the limbs, not ordinary people can do it, and if you are not careful, you will be cut off by the sharp tip of the knife.
