Yunding Ranch

Chapter 133 Embracing Nature
Since joining Yunding Ranch, Tony has been living in a tent on the first floor of the main house. Lu Li would pass by the tent every day, but he never really had the idea of ​​living in a tent.

Young people in Europe and the United States are very keen on outdoor sports such as hiking and camping. Now many young people in China are gradually rising, but overall, their enthusiasm for outdoor sports is still not high, especially in middle school. Schoolwork takes up all their time, not to mention outdoor sports, even physical education has become "extracurricular time" for major subjects such as Chinese, math, and English. Playing basketball and football is what most people define sports .

But at this moment, Daniel's words made Lu Li realize that even though he lived on the ranch for nearly three months and was completely surrounded by nature, he still hadn't really integrated into it. He still followed the modern way of life, living in a wooden house, Using gas stoves and water heaters, using toilets, and electronic equipment that cannot be forgotten... Even though I have returned to the simplest rural life, I have never really felt nature.

Out of curiosity, Lu Li followed Daniel and the others. He watched them set up the tent. Eight people actually carried six tents. Seeing how proficient they were, it was obviously not the first time they had been exposed to equipment. He asked about it. Fan, sure enough, got Daniel's affirmative answer, "We lived in tents all the way, from New York, there are many campsites along the way, providing water, ignition equipment, etc., and even showers. "

"Hey, welcome to Yunding Ranch!" Tony's hearty voice came from far behind him. He was still wearing tool gloves on his hands, a lot of tools were hanging on his horse's back, and a bamboo tree was hanging behind him Baskets filled with a small amount of freshly harvested green manure, "Are you going to camp here? It's still a little far from the water source, so you can move it to the lake."

When it came to camping, Tony was obviously more reliable than Lu Li, and he immediately gave accurate advice. Daniel and the others turned around and said hello. Tony stopped the horse beside Lu Li, turned over and jumped off. "These are all your classmates?" Alice and the others would be the first batch of visitors to the ranch. Lu Li had already said this.

"Yes." Lu Li shrugged, "The reason why I let Edward rush to work is because I hope they will have a place to live when they arrive, but now..." Looking at the scene of the bustling sky in front of him, everything was said without saying anything.

Tony was amused by Lu Li's helpless tone, "You don't know this, do you? Being close to nature and embracing nature is the best way to truly get rid of the mediocrity of the world. You know, carrying a hiking bag alone, Then walk in the mountains and jungles, as if the world is so quiet that only you are left, talking to yourself, talking to nature, this kind of purity is very rare. Whether we live in the countryside or in the city, we all This kind of moment is needed, to really get rid of all the fetters around you, and give yourself a little 'only your own' time."

"I know what you mean, but..." Lu Li pointed to the noise around him, people could be seen everywhere he looked, "Isn't it a wise choice here? Come to the ranch, isn't it to experience the cowboy life, Did you experience the life of a farmer?" His thoughts are still oriental after all, and even after studying here for four years, many essential values ​​and habits still cannot be changed.

"No, you didn't understand what I meant." Tony shook his head, "Leaving the modern residence and environment and living in a purely natural environment is an attitude towards life." Looking at Lu Li, he still looked embarrassed. Seeing that he understood, Tony burst out laughing, "Otherwise, try it yourself, and I think you will understand."

"You're contradicting yourself." Lu Li immediately reacted, "You put up a tent in the house yourself! How can you feel natural!"

"One is life, and the other is attitude towards life." Tony's explanation made Lu Li dumbfounded.

Indeed, Tony is now a member of the ranch. If he sleeps in a tent every day, it is unrealistic. It is better to live in the city, far away from the ranch, away from the crowd, and live in the deep mountains and old forests; But it is different. When traveling, when traveling on the road, what kind of method should you choose to unfold?What kind of attitude do you choose to face?Also choose what kind of channel experience?It's all different.

Daniel and the others made a special trip to attend the cowboy convention this time. With a heart that embraces nature, they chose the way of living in tents; but when they return to New York, they will still return to the rhythm of daily life.That's the difference.

"How about it, are you going to try it?" Tony said with a smile, "If you want, I will live out for a few days and experience the camping life with you." Tony is already eager to try, "Said To be honest, I haven’t lived in a tent for half a year.”

Lu Li rolled his eyes and looked at Tony speechlessly——then what have you been sleeping on every day for the past month?
Tony smiled, understood the meaning of Lu Li's eyes, and gave a sloppy smile, "You know what I mean. How about it? Are you interested in trying?"

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, feeling that his whole body was eager to try, "But, I don't have a tent."

"When you live in the wild, it's rare for you to have a tent by yourself. On the one hand, it's a safety issue, and on the other hand, it's a space issue. This is an important issue when camping." Tony's words reminded Lu Li of Korea. In the variety show "Two Days, One Night", they shared a tent with several people. "My tent can sleep four people. Of course, it will be crowded. However, there is absolutely no problem with three people. Just prepare a sleeping bag." .”

Of course Lu Li didn't have a sleeping bag, and he didn't have any camping equipment, but he vaguely remembered that Cole had one.

With little hesitation, Lu Li nodded, "Okay! Let's do it this way?" After making the decision, Lu Li became slightly excited, "Then what are we going to do now?"

Tony looked at Lu Li, who seemed a little frizzy because of his excitement, and couldn't help laughing, "Go to the main house to take down the tent first, and then bring it over and set it up." Tony took two steps back, walked around the villa, and looked at the tent. Looking at the situation directly in front of the main house, "We have to speed up a little bit, there is a party tonight, isn't it? Now, the size of the party seems to be doubled."

Originally, everyone had prepared a party to welcome the arrival of Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi, but now that Alice, Daniel and others had also arrived, it became lively immediately.

"Then speed up!" Lu Li and Tony trotted all the way back to the main house. Tony didn't even have time to bring the horse back to the stable, but just tied it to the side of the garden, then went back to the house, and quickly dismantled the tent. down.

Tony's movements were so fast that before Lu Li had time to see clearly, Tony had already handed over a large pile of support poles, and gave the order simply and clearly, "Take it apart!" Then the whole tent turned into a pile of broken pieces. Little props, and then Tony took out a small bag from his backpack, "Since it is outside, it needs to be fixed, we don't want to be blown away by the wind in the middle of the night." Tony said jokingly.

The two rushed out of the main house, and Jessica yelled, "Tony, where are you going! Come back and help!"

Without looking back, Tony replied, "Give me 15 minutes and I'll be right back. By the way, Jessica, help me lead the troublemaker back to the stable, if you have time." The troublemaker is Tony's. Ma Ma is actually a little girl, but she gave Tony such a boyish name.In Tony's words, she is really very troublesome, isn't she?
The two of them returned to the temporary campsite, and the tents of Daniel and the others had already seen their models. "Fourteen, why, you finally decided to join us?"

"Since it's a vacation, since it's a party, then we have to try something bold, right?" Lu Li put the trolley bag in his hand on the ground, "This is not Miami, there are no beaches, and there are no bikinis. Find something to replace it."

"You can change into a bikini if ​​you want." Daniel shouted, making everyone laugh.

"I don't mind." Lu Li was very calm, shrugged, and answered directly, "Then if I change into a bikini, will you wear the bikini upside down? Or should you just run naked?"

Now, it was Daniel's turn to be embarrassed, and everyone booed, and Tony even whistled, "Today is a perfect day!" The girls gathered together, and the elders also attended. Perfect.

After the joke was over, Lu Li withdrew his gaze and looked down at the scattered props in front of him—he had seen how Tony dismantled the tent, but now he had no idea at all, and had no idea how to reassemble it. is brand new.

"Fourteen, this is the main support pole, pass through the tent." Tony bent down and began to assemble all the support poles, which was simply too simple for him, so he directed.

Lu Li took over the long support pole. The soft-looking lever was very elastic, dangling up and down, then walked to the side of the scattered tent, "Wait a minute, where are the corners of the tent?" Tony couldn’t help but smile at the question that only beginners would ask, and jokingly said, “You can try to find out, maybe you can build a tent of postmodernism.”

It was Lu Li's middle finger who answered Tony!

Then Lu Li withdrew his attention, started rummaging around corners with full concentration, and meticulously threaded the main support pole through it. This kind of hands-on, well-fed concept gradually became a part of Lu Li's life as time progressed in Yunding Ranch. Not only did he not feel irritable, but he began to taste the fun of it.

Unknowingly, the tent has once again taken shape, which is really exciting.

A brisk voice came from behind, "Fourteen, what are you doing?"

　More will be added later.
