Yunding Ranch

Chapter 212
After a big stretch, Lu Li felt that his stomach was about to explode, and he couldn't even walk, as if he would vomit if his movements were slightly wider.

After leaving the main house, the cool air made Lu Li feel a little more comfortable.He really ate too much tonight. He was already full an hour ago, but he couldn't stop at all. He ate so much again, and now he deeply regrets it. It's really self-inflicted.Temperance, you still have to learn to control yourself in the future.

"Huh", a gust of cool wind blew past, and the tinkling sound of wind chimes caught Lu Li's attention. Looking at the string of handmade wind chimes under the eaves, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile.This string of wind chimes was hung here not long ago, and then Lu Li went to New York, but at this moment, he somehow felt that it should belong here.

In the room behind him, Edward hugged the guitar again and began to play. Justin's harmonica was passing through, and everyone sat scattered in the hall, chatting, as if reluctant to bid farewell to this beautiful night.Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi shared interesting things that happened in New York, which aroused everyone's amazement; Edward also joined in the fun with a guitar as an accompaniment to the soundtrack.

Such noise is really special.

In New York, noises can be heard in our ears all the time, and the whole city seems not to be quiet at all. Only in the early hours of the morning, the inner peace appears for a short time, and then lost in the misty city lights, In such a huge world, there seems to be no place to rest.

But in the pasture, the silence in all directions surrounds him, and he can distinguish every sound carefully, which is the cry of the Leyland sheep, the whisper of the wind passing through the beech forest, and the quarrel between the grapes and grapefruits. The dog barks... which makes the laughter and shouts behind him extraordinarily clear, pure and transparent.

It's amazing, isn't it?People look for peace in New York; but they look for noise in the ranch.

Over the past month or so, the fast-paced life in New York has left him with no time or room for thinking, not even the space to slow down and breathe seriously.Fullness, everything is full, full to the point where you can’t stop for a second, because if you slow down a little, you might not be able to keep up.

Through the window, looking at the excitement under the dim yellow halo, Lu Li could smell the smell of happiness, the rhythm of life was slowing down again, then he looked away, raised his hand and rang the wind chime next to him, jingling The sound was clear and moving, like a nightingale singing in the night.

Lu Li felt that his eyelids were a little heavy, and he seemed to be fighting up and down. After drinking and eating, he felt a little sleepy. His first reaction was to sit down and have a good sleep, but he was so full that he probably lay down. You can't sleep on the bed, and going to bed right after eating is not good for your health, so it's better to take a walk.

Stepping on footsteps, strolling in the garden along the planting track of blue cap flowers, the cold air of the pasture in the middle of the night made a layer of goosebumps appear on the surface of the skin, Lu Li enjoyed this moment very much, his brain gradually became More and more awake, the body gradually becomes more and more tired, as if... as if the soul can break away from the shackles of the skin and soar in the wind with a light push of the feet.

This reminded Lu Li why he left New York and came to Texas.New York is fine, everything is fine, but he likes it even more.

Following the hemp rope of the swing, he looked up all the way, and then he could see that the thick branches divided the dark blue night sky into countless small fragments - he didn't even remember when was the last time he saw the night sky, New York, the city that never sleeps, is brightly lit even at night.

However, the time for this oak tree to settle here is still too short, and there are no "appendages" such as bird's nests on it, and it still lacks a little natural vitality.

Wait, what is that?
Lu Li stood on tiptoe, as if he could get a little closer to the sky if he did this. In a blur, he could see that there seemed to be a small grass nest between the branches of the tree, and a little guy was poking around beside it. After hesitating for a moment, he rushed towards the window on the second floor. The agile and vigorous figure was so familiar, it was not Tiaotiao.

Lu Li almost forgot that there was a faceless resident named Tiao Tiao at home. He almost disappeared even if he searched deliberately; he didn't need people to feed or take care of him.But from time to time, it would pop out suddenly, prove its existence, and then disappear again.

Under the moonlight, Tiaotiao squatted by the window sill, holding a pinecone in his hand. He didn't eat it, but held it in his arms and sniffed it. It seemed that he could be satisfied with such a simple action.

Lu Li didn't move, just watched Tiaotiao quietly. It was such a quiet scene, but the corners of his mouth slightly curved up.

"Meow, meow." There was a sound from the side, breaking the tranquility, Tiaotiao's hair stood up all over his body, and he looked around vigilantly. It was really interesting that he looked like he was facing a big enemy. After wandering for a few times, he finally slipped into the window sill quickly and entered the room, and the figure just disappeared from sight.

Lu Li quickly looked away, searching for the source of the voice.However, within sight, there was no sign of Bucky in the garden at all, or was Bucky hiding in some bushes? When Lu Li bent down, he found that his stomach was too full. He felt that the food in it had turned upside down. I can only stand up straight again, carefully identify the voice, and approach step by step.

The garden around him looked too unfamiliar, and it didn't match the appearance in his mind at all. This made Lu Li's footsteps a little uncomfortable. After Alice entered the rabbit hole, was she also so cautious at the beginning? coming?So, if he can find the entrance of the rabbit hole, can he also enter the fantasy world?

Lu Li was not sure whether he could enter the fantasy world, but standing by the fence, he saw Bucky, the noise maker.

At this moment, Bucky seemed to be cramp, lying on the ground, patting his nose with both hands, chewing, rubbing, and meowing. Lu Li strongly suspected that something was stuck to his nose, but the next Seconds later, Bucky's behavior became more and more strange. He began to roll on the ground, three laps to the left and three laps to the right. Is this radio gymnastics?Or, is he sick?

"Meow!" Bucky roared forcefully, but Lu Li couldn't tell whether he was yawning, venting his dissatisfaction, or demonstrating. His big mouth was no less than that of a crocodile.

Lu Li had little understanding of the habits of animals. He was a little uncertain and was hesitating whether to call Cole out, but in the next second, Lu Li regained his composure and burst out laughing.

I saw Bucky pounced forward and caught a short grass. Then, like a rabbit fighting an eagle, he fought desperately with that grass. He used all his claws, teeth and head. There is a deep hatred.However, Bucky's expression was indescribable...Enjoyment, yes, enjoyment, he closed his eyes, took a big bite of the blade, tore it into pieces with his teeth, and then rolled happily again, left three times, right three laps.

It's like a little princess making her social debut for the first time.Just a little crazy.

Although Lu Li's knowledge of animals is very limited, he also knows that this is catnip, and its scientific name is Nepeta chinensis.It is a typical edge plant, which is planted beside the fence, roadside or flowerbed. After blooming, it turns blue, delicate and lovely.For humans, it is nothing special, but for cats with a sensitive sense of smell, its effect is a bit similar to marijuana, about 50.00% of cats will love catnip very much, even crazy - or To be more precise, it's hi.

Yunding Ranch also has catnip, as the edge of the lavender field, there is a large area there, but it is not in the garden.Now, after Joey and Song Lingyi re-planned the garden, they planted catnip next to the fence as a border, which unexpectedly became Bucky's paradise.

No wonder, I haven't seen Bucky all afternoon, and now the answer is ready to come out, this little guy is now immersed in this world of catnip.

Lu Li knew that catnip had no real benefit or harm to the cat's health. It was just a short-term pleasure, and the cat would not be addicted to it.However, looking at Bucky rolling all over the ground in front of him, unwilling to leave around the catnip at all, Lu Li inexplicably remembered the opium shop in the Republic of China. Master, arrogant, but unable to restrain his addiction.

Bucky didn't notice Lu Li's watching at all. He took two steps back, then sprinted, spread his limbs, and threw himself into the pile of catnip with a "meow" and started rolling. At the scene of rolling around, he burst out laughing.

Lu Li quickly pursed his lips and held back his laughter, lest he disturb Bucky's enjoyment.But he obviously thought too much, and Bucky didn't notice his existence at all. After rolling several times in place, he sat beside him blankly, and suddenly became quiet, then stared dazedly, motionless.

That silly look reminded Lu Li of the first time he saw Bucky, he was so cute.

At this moment, Tiaotiao got out from nowhere, and approached cautiously, slowly approaching step by step, and finally stopped two steps in front of Bucky, met Bucky's eyes, but also There was no further movement, he was stiff in place, and he could clearly feel the tightness of Tiaotiao's muscles; while Bucky still looked dazed, his focus was lost, and he didn't seem to see Tiaotiao at all.

The tense scene where swords were being drawn, Huashan was discussing swords, and the tension was about to explode, made Lu Li very hard to hold back his laughter.
