Chapter Seventy-Seven: Arriving at the Farm
At five o'clock in the afternoon, a dark green and somewhat worn pickup truck soared in the wilderness, and the violent roar of the engine was like a wild horse galloping on the vast grassland, but at a certain moment, as if someone had held a camera and pressed the shutter, a beautiful photo of the wilderness, warm colors, dead grass, sunset and flying dust was freshly released, among which, the dark green pickup truck only had an elegant sideways.
Dust one foot on the accelerator to the bottom, the gear hung to the highest, the whole pickup truck like a restless beast, even with their own feel a trace of long-lost pleasure, in the hands of the dust, this pickup truck fully exerts the highest speed, up to 180km/h, in this vast wilderness with hills, this speed if you do not take the artificially built road, undoubtedly really looking for death.
Feng Chen supported his cheeks with one hand, and constantly hit the steering wheel with the other, and as for the gear lever, he had already pulled it out.
With the full force of this pickup truck, and the direct choice of a straight line for the dust, the town of Morwell soon appeared at the end of the horizon.
The vehicle shook violently, and the dust collector steadied the steering wheel, and the vehicle gradually slowed down, rushing out of the wilderness onto the road, but like a big cat running outside all year round, after a sudden jump, it shook its fur slightly, and a layer of dust fell under the bar.
Fortunately, there are no vehicles on either side, otherwise they will definitely scold, this is that madman dares to drive so desperately?!
When he was on the highway, Feng Chen was embarrassed to find that his brain had been pulled out of the hot gear lever, so he could only pull up the handbrake.
This is completely wrong and fatal demonstration, so the engine of the pickup truck made a burst roar, the whole body at this time such as the breeze gently blowing the dust, the piercing friction of the tire and the road instantly sounded, seeing that it was about to be directly shattered and overturned, the hand that sealed the dust on the steering wheel was slightly pressed, the vehicle as a whole was like a big hand pressed on the ground, especially the front of the car, but its components can no longer withstand the huge energy generated by emergency braking, like a completely closed can placed in a detonator, At this time, due to the violent shock and detonation, they let out a violent roar and flew away from the car body, and the four wheels pulled out a black trace up to 100 meters long, and sparks directly generated between the ground and the solid ground.
The result of forcibly not overturning the car is already obvious, all the way sparks with thick smoke, the pickup truck can no longer be seen at the starting point of pulling the handbrake, the 100 meters are full of car parts, gasoline is floating and burning violently, and then a series of explosions, and in the last 100 meters, the dust is only the seat under the butt and a steering wheel in the hand.
Feng Chen glanced at the steering wheel in his hand, and the entire car skeleton was scattered, so it took more than ten winds to pile up the car parts scattered around the road outside, and then blew a breath to extinguish all the flames, and then walked towards the town of Morwell in front of him.
Fortunately, McGonagall, who sponsored the pickup truck in friendship, was not present, otherwise she would have cried to death, and she stole less than two thousand dollars from Feng Chen, and her pickup truck could handle a minimum of seven or eight thousand even if it was put in the second-hand market.
Feng Dust didn't care, McGonagall probably didn't have the extra heart to think about this, after all, he didn't expect to be discharged from the hospital until the end of the year.
Morwell Town is located in a wheat field and plain, outside the wheat field, almost all wilderness and plain hills, there are not many people in the town, because Morwell Town is completely just built by the surrounding farmers for convenience, there are few households in the town at all, a bit of the characteristics of the wild city in the west, after disturbing a man with a beard, Feng Chen did not stay in the town of Morwell for a short time, and got on the bus.
Finally, at about half past six, when the sunset had already set half of the horizon, Feng Chen walked down from the bus running on the dirt road, looked at the white house at the end of a dirt road extending more than 500 meters down, and two or three factory sheds, he took out the gifts he bought from the space and walked down the road to the front.
"Wang! Woof! Woof! A black and white shepherd dog heard a stranger appear, grinning and making a vigilant bark, Feng Chen glanced at the dog with a smile, the shepherd dog immediately closed his mouth, his nose and throat made a whimper, and sat on the ground obediently as if he had been greatly wronged.
"You're here? I thought you were going to be in two days! Ms. Diane walked out of the house with round glasses and greeted Dusty into the room with a smile of surprise.
"Hello Ms. Diane, it's a pleasure to see you again!" Feng Chen walked into the house and put the gift on the coffee table, took the hot water brought by Ms. Diane, and said with a smile.
"Clark was on the phone with me yesterday, saying that a friend of his would be coming, and I guessed that it was you who sealed the dust." Feng Chen looked at the kind and enthusiastic Ms. Dai Nan, her sideburns were white, and her wrinkles couldn't be hidden, although this elderly mother was not Clark's biological mother, she still doted on him, and in that steel body, she brought him a warm and kind heart.
A person's growth is tantamount to environmental factors, which have been exemplified from very early times, such as Meng's mother's three migrations.
Clearly, Ms. Dianan was very kind to the guy who could be Clark's friend.
Feng Chen could feel Lady Diane's maternal love for Clark, and he nodded, no matter what Clark was, he was a child in his mother's eyes.
"Anyway, I didn't expect this big farm here." Feng Chen glanced at the road where he came, there were about more than 200 acres of land, of course, this is insignificant among the entire American farmers, and the environment and furniture in this main house are obviously not a rich family.
"Any more will be harder." Diane smiled gently, Feng Chen smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he came to help and liked the environment at the same time, as long as Ms. Diane didn't feel clumsy.
"Is this your husband?" Feng Chen looked at the photo pressed under the coffee table and asked casually.
Lady Diane's eyes were slightly downcast, and then a wistful smile appeared, "Yes, this is my husband. ”
Feng Chen keenly sensed the change in Ms. Diane's mood, and he showed a hint of apology and said, "I'm sorry. ”
"It's nothing, my husband has been gone for years, and it was an unforgettable day for Clark," Ms. Diane recalled, and then she put away her nostalgia and said to Feng Dust with a gentle smile: "However, this is all in the past, I just didn't expect that one day Clark would make a really good friend." ”
"You're so good at talking." Feng Dust laughed.
"Ms. Dai Nan is very accurate in seeing people, Clark was very withdrawn when he was young, and his peers didn't like to play with him, calling him a freak, for you, I, as a mother, don't mention how happy I am for this guy, after all, he still has to go out after all."
Feng Chen smiled, and when she said the last paragraph, Ms. Dai Nan obviously showed a look that was different from ordinary people, her son was an alien, which was enough to worry her.
No parent wants to see their child go to and from school alone, sitting alone on a swing every day, without playmates.
"It's an unpleasant thing." Seal the dust out of the voice.
"Yes, Clark was ostracized when he was little, and we parents can't do anything." Ms. Dianan flashed a hint of loss and helplessness, and mentioned that Clark was more loving.
"So, please understand that child a little more, he is not bad-hearted, but there are some small problems, and I am very grateful as a mother."
"You can rest assured," Feng Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Clark is a kind guy, he just doesn't like to express it, I can understand it." ”
"That's great!" Ms. Dai Nan looked at Feng Chen more kindly, this oriental young man has a gentle and quiet temperament, and his face is delicate, his mind is not bad, and he is Clark's only friend, and then the two chatted for a while, Feng Chen simply cleaned up the room that had been prepared for a long time, and had a happy dinner with Ms. Dai Nan.
The dinner was very rich, the food on the basic plate was all from the farm, roast suckling pig, leg of lamb, cheese poured with honey and roasted soft and fragrant bread, a whole turkey, impeccable steak, both of them ate very happily, watching Feng Chen keep sending food to his mouth, Ms. Diane was happy and worried, happy that he liked the food he made, liked the scenery and things here, and was only worried about nature, so he was afraid that he would hold on.
Fortunately, after Feng Chen's eating, there was no special strange reaction except for satisfaction, Ms. Diane returned to the bedroom with confidence, and after saying goodnight, she told Feng Chen not to open the window at night, be careful to be cold, and then rest assured, after all, he came a little late, and it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening after eating.
Contracted to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, after sealing the dust and turning on the TV, there was a sigh in the bedroom, and after a while, there was a sound of turning over several times, until the old pendulum clock hanging on the wall, the hour hand pointed to "eleven", from the bedroom came from the sound of Ms. Diane's steady breathing, and the dust quietly opened the door and walked out.
Have you ever admired the starry sky on a vast plain? If not, it would be a pity.
The stars are shining, the pale blue Milky Way is like a brilliant aurora, distant and untouchable, and a person can only feel small when he sees two things.
One is history, and the other is the vast starry sky.
The shepherd dog in the kennel, named "Tinny", barked when he saw someone coming out of the house, but stopped abruptly because Feng Dust was squatting beside him, watching him.
Dusty showed kindness, Tinny let out a whimper, at first shivering under Dust's touch, then slowly became calm, and then seemed to be familiar, wagging his tail to make a flattering sound, sticking out his tongue and licking Dust's hand, after Dusty opened the chains, he wagged his tail like a rabbit and circled around Dust.
"Go run two laps, little one!" Feng Chen smiled, and Tiny seemed to understand Feng Chen's words, and ran towards the plain in the distance with his mouth drooping his tongue.
Feng Dust lit a cigarette and watched Tinny sniff in the east and leave some marks in the west, sometimes jumping, sometimes lying on the wheat straw, having a lot of fun, and he showed a smile.
In the instinct of living beings, human beings' perception and emotional perception of strange creatures are only considered to be in the middle and low.
Tini could clearly sense whether the stranger was good or bad, and of course, this communication was one-sided, single, pure, maybe just a bone thing.
Again, this is not a pejorative, just plain.
