Chapter 92: The First Meeting with Laura
These guys are really bad.
Lao Mai, Shen Yan, Franklin and Leicester pretended not to know each other and described the consequences of the jewelry robbery as extremely serious. As a result, only the frightened computer expert chose to go abroad, and the rest of them did not even leave Los Angeles, and at most reduced their contact with each other.
This does not include Shen Yan.
With the various chemical raw materials of the New World, Shen Yan's alchemy and pharmacy advanced by leaps and bounds. In the days of idleness, Shen Yan soon invented a second alchemy potion, a dyeing potion. It is possible to change the color of the skin, it is clear and easy, and it is all chemical and pollution-free. Don't look at Lao Mei's advocacy of racial equality all day long, this is where the discrimination is most serious. There is no place in the world where you can look at people by the color of your skin more than here, and some people of color don't even want to see your face.
So changing skin tones is the best disguise.
Romanoff went out shopping after dyeing her skin Latino honey, and many people chased her to ask if she was a supermodel (now with long legs), and said that she was a fan; She also dyed black and wore dreadlocks to participate in the Black Lives Matter parade; also went to steal his own movie posters, raised his middle finger, and sweared; also wore a hip-hugging black leather skirt to go shopping, and it was a lot of fun.
Shen Yan was similar, after changing his complexion, he was running around, frequently harassing Lao Mai, Franklin and Lysette, and those people were quite helpless.
It is said that Lester has always been more awesome (people with skills are like this), and if he doesn't give anyone a good look, he won't give anyone a good look, and no one will take him. But he was really helpless against Shen Yan, first of all, Shen Yan said, "Your goddess is in my hands, you can pose whatever you want", which is so special that Lester is angry; But what really worries him is the second thing...... Shen Yan was able to cure his lameness.
Lester's legs are not the same length - regardless of whether it was because of polio or someone broke it, Shen Yan's plastic surgery medicine would definitely be able to adjust anyway.
Sometimes Shen Yan would go to help Franklin drive a trailer, but as for Rama's brain-dead plan, Shen Yan would never participate in it, and he couldn't control the spare time activities of the employees. At most, Rama was warned that if he died, the good job would be someone else's.
Sometimes he would accompany Lao Mai to see a striptease, but Lao Mai just wouldn't take him to the silver mess party organized by the producers of B-grade films! It can make Shen Yan angry. "There's really no one in Hollywood who organizes a messy party! It's not the era of big studios...... Not really! ”
"This can be had!"
Because of this, the two almost broke their relationship.
*****
Since Shen Yan promised to "instruct Laura on her archery skills" on the phone, there has been no news since. It wasn't until the end of the month that he found a gilded, tame handwritten invitation in the mailbox of his widow's apartment—Conrad Ross and Laura Crawford invited him and his widow to live at Ross Farm in Red County, north of Los Angeles.
Alas, the British.
Conrad Rose, captain of the USS Endurance, is good friends with Laura's parents. Europe and the United States are also humane societies, and Laura was able to join this expedition thanks to Condra's strong recommendation to James Whitman. Then Laura brought in her classmate Shanmantha Nishimura and became a trainee documentary filmmaker...... To tell the truth, only the chef on this boat is seriously recruited, so it can be seen that everyone is fighting hard to eat something from the mouth.
There was a point that Shen Yan thought that this mission would end soon, in fact, the preparation of the ship to go to sea was extremely complicated. It would take months to prepare all kinds of supplies and pre-plan the expedition, and the exact date of the "Endurance" to go to sea has not yet been decided...... Maybe when he finishes grabbing the Fed, he will still have time to run away in this boat.
Shen Yan felt that the British were hypocritical, but the widow sister felt good, she really wanted to experience the British pastoral life, and she was happy to go to the invitation. Although she had seen more strange things in the past month, than in the past twenty years.
Ross Farm is quite far away from Los Angeles City, and Shen Yan drove at the maximum speed limit (the widow's car, not good at drag racing), and it still took five or six hours before and after! The dissatisfaction in his heart can be imagined!
When he arrived, his owner, Conrad Rose, who had been notified by phone in advance, took Laura to the exit of the farm to greet him, but that attitude was a bit arrogant—not the brainless arrogance that was shown, but the British, self-righteous arrogance.
"If he pinched the orchid finger again, I might treat him as a eunuch...... I just don't understand, what is a tomb robber doing? Shen Yan said to the widow sister in a "whisper", and the widow sister gave him a blank look. Rose, dressed in an old-fashioned three-piece suit, must have heard it, his old face twitching, and his smirk was a little unsustainable.
Seeing that he shut up and stopped refutating, Shen Yan smacked his lips in disappointment. If he dared to say that he was an archaeologist, Shen Yan would dare to scold him for his stinky face. It's a pity that he wilted shamefully......
But although Rose didn't speak, there was a fighting spirit next to him!
Laura Crawford—the greatest disaster in the history of archaeology, and a recent college graduate—kept looking Shen Yan up and down with aggressive eyes from the moment he arrived, even before he could show hostility.
From that moment, Shen Yan understood that it was the "hypocrisy and politeness" of the British again. Bullshit "pointing out Laura's archery skills", it is clear that this Laura is young and vigorous, and after watching his performance on TV, he felt unconvinced and asked him to compete!
It is impossible for Shen Yan's face to be sent to the door for people to beat, even Laura! So he didn't give anyone a good look from the beginning, and I don't like you biting me!
"I'm Laura, Laura Crawford! The second place in the British women's archery qualifiers will represent Britain at the Beijing Olympics! I wonder, as a master archer, what about your bow? Laura stepped forward and said aggressively.
The widow sister saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she directly took Shen Yan's arm and made her position. Shen Yan shook his head and smiled, "Wow, second place, it's amazing." In that case, why don't you stay in the greenhouse, aim 70 meters away, deliberately tilt at the exact angle, and shoot at that butt-sized target with a special bow full of messy accessories?
You know that we are not people of the same world at all, and you don't understand my rules at all, so you will ask me where the bow is, because you can't see, my bow is anywhere! ”
Shen Yan stroked the emerald green bracelet on his wrist - he wasn't lying, the "soul arrow" planted in his artery and watered with blood had been following him through the world, and it was already inseparable from Shen Yan's soul. It can be an arrow or a bow when necessary.
"Then show me!" Laura is stubborn, she will never be deceived by a few lies, so she pointed in one direction and said, "That's where I usually practice, there are targets of 50 meters, 70 meters, and 100 meters, show me!" ”
"Laura, these two guests just arrived, and they've been driving for a few hours from Los Angeles......" Conrad Ross interjected to explain. He also needs Hollywood to pay for some of his adventures, so try not to offend the star. The widow sister is now on the front line, and she is just one short of a commercial masterpiece that hit the box office; Shen Yan is also a TV personality.
"It doesn't matter," Shen Yan waved his hand casually, he suddenly felt that this was fine, just to take the opportunity to add insurance for Laura's adventure. Shen Yan pointed to the bushes next to him and asked, "Is it okay?" ”
Rose didn't know what he meant, but it wasn't a precious tree anyway, so he immediately nodded and said, "Yes."
Shen Yan walked over and picked up a few shrub branches and branches that were full of toughness. "Let's go," he said, removing the twig from the top, then pulling the tough bowstring from his cuff and tying the ends of the twig tightly, and finally bending with the strength of his knee!
A bow made of twigs was formed!
"This is a bow too?" Laura's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Of course it's a bow...... All that can shoot arrows is a bow! At this time, several people could already see the three rows of arrow targets from a distance, and the distance was about two hundred meters. Shen Yan flicked the string of the bow, estimated the strength of the bow, and stopped. "Lend your arrows."
He casually took the quiver that Laura was carrying, stretched out his bow and set up the arrow, and then shot an arrow from a distance of two hundred meters! At such a distance, it is naturally a hanging shot.
Shen Yan didn't wait for the first arrow to fall, and the second arrow was already on the string. In such a series of shooting, the arrows flew into the sky like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, 12 competitive arrows were shot into the air! At this time, the first arrow in the distance had just fallen towards the target......
"You don't think about the wind, the distance, the temperature and humidity, how can this be ......" Laura muttered to herself in surprise, but it was useless, everyone was staring at the incredible scene with wide eyes! The eyes of the people here are good, and some people still have binoculars on them, so it is impossible to see clearly at a distance of two hundred meters!
Especially if there is only one arrow stuck in the lonely target!
"Wow! Poof—"The first sound is the sound of the arrow firmly inserting itself into the center of the target as it falls!" The next sound is the sound of the target being shot through! Elven archery is based on feeling, not calculation.
Then the second shot hits the center of the circle of the second target! 3rd & 4th Branch...... The arrows fell like a torrential rain, and the targets in the front and back rows were hit and shot through one after another!
The last 12 arrows! 12 targets! 4X3 is neatly placed!
Is this still human? The person who knows how to shoot archery is so shocked that he is speechless, as if he is watching a miracle! People who don't understand, such as the widow sister, also know that aliens must be awesome, and cooperate to make a light and light appearance...... Shen Yan had made this expression many times in front of her, and she was so angry! Now it's someone else's turn to get angry.
"You're a game, that's archery...... Gentlemen, is there a place to take a bath? I'm driving in dust. Shen Yan casually threw the branch bow aside and pretended to complain. Well, this bow is left here, and when Laura is shipwrecked and washed up on the island, she should be able to think of making a bow for herself out of a tree branch...... In fact, don't look at the roughness, there is a lot of knowledge in this! Each branch and shrub have different levels of flexibility and are tied together with a precise match...... This is actually a compound bow.
Besides, fine-tuning the magic to the landing point of the arrow should not be considered cheating, right......
"Ah, I'm sorry, my bad." Rose finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly and earnestly invited Shen Yan and the widow sister to go in and wash the dust.
Only Laura remained silent.
*****
When Shen Yan and they were far away, Laura bent down and picked up the crudely thick branch bow. She looked at it repeatedly, and it was a stick that couldn't be rougher. Tied with a bowstring so that it doesn't fall apart, but even the aborigines of African tribes use bows that are a hundred times better than this one.
She tried to pull away, and the bow was unexpectedly strong.
But when she put the arrow on the arrow and aimed at the pine string...... there was a "whoosh" sound, but the arrow flew somewhere.
