Yunding Ranch

Chapter 219
Justin led Lu Huaijin into the shooting range, and Lu Li stayed at the counter, looking curiously at the guns in the glass cabinet. Last time he stayed here for a limited time, he only stayed for a while before leaving without really focusing on the guns. After browsing through all the gun collections, he discovered today that Justin had displayed two retro pistols in the display cabinet next to him.

Both pistols are well kept, and they flash smoothly under the display lights, but every detail reveals the taste of time precipitation, which makes people feel the breath of history.

Lu Li didn't know much about guns, so he couldn't identify the model, but judging from the appearance alone, it reminded Lu Li of the pistols from the Prohibition period. It was elegant and dangerous, as if he had to wear a black windbreaker and a dark gray top hat to match it. , so that it can match the character of the gun.

Guns are really special, aren't they?It represents power, but also represents fatality.In the face of guns, life is so fragile, but with guns in hand, you can taste the taste of God.

Among the many collectors, there is a group of people who like to collect guns, not only collect models, but also like to collect guns with special commemorative significance, such as the Carcano M91/38 that assassinated John F. Kennedy. Model guns have soared in value in the collection market.

This is really special.

The two pistols in Justin's collection should have something special about them. However, Lu Li doesn't know how much these two pistols are worth. Justin just put them in the cabinet like this. Isn't he worried about losing them?But after thinking about it, he realized that he was thinking too much - this is a shooting range, all guns are in sight, theft should be the most minor crime here, right?
"You seem to be in a good mood." A voice came from behind, interrupting Lu Li's thoughts, he turned his head, and then saw Finley standing at the door, Finley who had gone and returned.

Lu Li twitched the corner of his mouth and said half-jokingly, "You look in a bad mood."

Finley's shoulders drooped, he let out a long breath, walked into the counter dejectedly, and looked around. "He's not here. He accompanied my father to go shooting." Lu Li knew that Finley was looking for Justin, so he took the initiative to explain.

Finley's expression was very mixed, and he didn't know whether it was happiness or disappointment.

Lu Li didn't intend to ask what was going on. After all, it was already embarrassing enough to "bump into" by accident just now. How could he bring it up on his own initiative after finally uncovering it.Lu Li looked around, and wanted to ask what model and origin the two guns were, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Finley sigh heavily, "What do you think I should do? "

Lu Li choked, never expecting that it was Finley who spoke, Lu Li spread his hands to express his helplessness, and then said solemnly, "It's three hundred dollars an hour, I need you to make an appointment with my assistant, and then we Sit down and talk slowly. We have enough time, we can take our time, my personal favorite is twelve steps, wait, or fourteen steps?"

When getting rid of drug/addiction or alcohol addiction, psychologists like to introduce a process, of which a twelve-step process is the most widely used.

Finley understood the stalk immediately. Looking at Lu Li's attitude of a psychiatrist, he couldn't help it anymore, and burst out laughing. All the sadness and heaviness just disappeared; Not reconciled, he glared at Lu Li, wanted to get angry, but couldn't hold back, and smiled again.

After such an interruption, Finley's mood calmed down a little bit. Although he was still a little confused, he finally lost the heaviness just now. Then he explained, "A friend asked me out for dinner, and I agreed, but he told me not to." Go because he thinks that friend is a punk and not to be trusted. I think he made too much of a fuss and he started throwing a fit.”

This "he" is obviously Justin.

"I don't understand, anyway, he doesn't care, why should he care about me? He is not my brother, he has no right to interfere in my life, and he has no right to control who I should go out to dinner with or who I should not meet. .I've known that friend since middle school. They're all in the same town. Everyone knows everything. I don't see why there's anything to worry about. Doesn't it? I mean, he never cared, did he?"

As he spoke, Finley became irritable again, feeling a little out of control.

However, after finishing speaking, Finley found that Lu Li did not answer, and she thought she could hear some responses.Looking up, Finley saw Lu Li's thoughtful expression, which made her frown, "Why, did I say something wrong?"

Lu Li shrugged and said hesitantly, "I don't know, maybe, he cares."

"What?" Finley's eyebrows were raised upright, and that aggressive posture was revealed.It can be seen that Texas women seem to be more or less different.

Lu Li raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, expressing his innocence, "He cares. If he doesn't care, then you can go out with whomever you want. It doesn't matter, does it? But it's because he cares." ..."

Lu Li didn't continue with the rest of the sentence, but Finley fell silent and began to think seriously, "You mean..." Finley's expression turned cloudy, and his eyes slowly brightened. There was more excitement and hesitation in his expression, "Is he..."

envy.Finley said the latter word, but panicked, and finally swallowed it, denying his guess, "No, he is just performing his parental responsibility. You know, guilt, guilt, damn it guilt. He was always carrying the responsibility and was unwilling to let go."

Lu Li spread out his hands, expressing his innocence, and did not speak.

"What? You don't think so?" Finley saw Lu Li's reservations.

Lu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. To such a question, he answered no, and silence was no.He hadn't talked to Justin, so it was irresponsible to speculate rashly.He can't make decisions for Justin, and he can't just give Finley hope. This is a matter between the two of them. As a friend, he can give opinions, but he can't guess at will.

"Finley, if you're curious, you should ask Justin directly." Lu Li gave the best advice he could. In many cases, communication is the best way to find answers. Anything that has been relayed and guessed by a third party will cause serious problems. Gradually lost its original color.

"Fourteen, I know, of course I know. But Justin has never been willing to express his position. He refuses to open up. I don't know what he thinks or what he wants. Sometimes, I don't even know what I'm thinking." Finley's words were full of powerlessness, irritability and apprehension like drowning, slowly suffocating.

Lu Li sighed softly, "Maybe, Justin is the same as you, he doesn't know what he wants."

Perhaps, Justin and Finley are fans of the authorities.Dialogue may not necessarily solve the problem, but at least it can open a channel.

Finley raised his head in frustration, sighed, and then looked at Lu Li with a bitter smile, "I'm sorry, but I always trouble you to listen to my troubles."

"This makes me so sad. I thought that I'm not the kind of person who can be friends with me." Lu Li's joke made Finley stunned. After thinking about it for two seconds, he finally came to his senses and burst out laughing. up.

Whether the opposite sex can be friends, some people think yes, friendship is pure, regardless of age and class, naturally regardless of gender; is the same sex.

What Lu Li said just now was full of sarcasm.

After Finley came to his senses, he smiled and shook his head, "If Chloe knew, she would object loudly." That meaningful look seemed to imply something, which made Lu Li laugh dumbfounded, but he didn't know. How should he refute, this small victory made Finley raise his chin proudly, and smiled again.

After finally calming down a little, Finley raised his chin and looked at Lu Li, "Didn't your father come to shoot targets today? You can go and accompany him, and I will leave the matter here to me."

"Are you sure?" Lu Li asked worriedly. Finley didn't look very well today.

Feeling Lu Li's concern, Finley patted Lu Li's arm with a light smile, "Don't worry about me, have you forgotten? I'm the serious employee here, and I'm much more proficient in my business than you. Hurry up, I'll I don't want to interrupt your time with your father."

"I can't refute it, Your Honor." Lu Li made a salute gesture, which made Finley laugh out loud, and then he turned and walked into the shooting range inside.After opening the side door, Finley's voice came from behind, "Thank you." However, the loud gunshots quickly dispersed Lu Li's footsteps and walked out without stopping.

It had been a few months since the last time he came here, and Lu Li's memory couldn't help being a little fuzzy, but fortunately, the signs around him were very clear, and relying on his vague memory, he finally didn't get lost.

Lu Huaijin didn't choose a pistol, but a shotgun, naturally not indoors.Lu Li walked straight towards the outdoor shooting range. Leaving the shackles of the indoor eaves, the whole world opened up. Scattered gunshots exploded in the air, and the eardrums began to be baptized round after round. The slight resonance caused the muscles to tremble, which made Lu Li's blood boil involuntarily.

Just hearing the sound, he began to miss his sniper rifle.Do you want to try some other sniper rifles today?

Walking forward, he came to the place where the flying saucer was moved. From a distance, Lu Li accurately found Lu Huaijin's figure. Looking at his father holding up the shotgun, the figure of his father standing on the podium appeared in his mind. The two figures overlapped. Together, but then separated again, Lu Li felt a little out of harmony.
