Yunding Ranch

Chapter 229
Lu Li got up early in the morning, because Lu Huaijin's shoulders were a bit uncomfortable and slightly red and swollen. It seemed that he was a little too excited to shoot yesterday, which exceeded the body's load, so today's muscles protested.

Song Lingyi got up three times in the middle of the night, worried about Lu Huaijin's condition.Lu Huaijin was very calm, it was just a sore shoulder, not a serious illness, but because of a muscle problem in her right shoulder, she couldn't sleep well at night.Song Lingyi used hot water to compress and massaged with both hands for most of the night. Later, Lu Li also woke up, and everyone didn't sleep well.

After the sun rose in the morning, Lu Li got up. He asked Song Lingyi to catch up on sleep, while he drove Lu Huaijin to Austin.

As a small town, New Braunfels still had insufficient facilities. Lu Li found a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Austin. First, he did a simple examination for Lu Huaijin. After confirming that he was fine, he took some plasters to relieve muscle pain; According to the doctor's introduction, I went to a traditional Chinese massage shop and massaged my shoulders to relax.

Unexpectedly, the massage was so comfortable that Lu Huaijin actually fell asleep on the massage/bed/.

Lu Li was not in a hurry, he sat quietly outside and flipped through magazines.He knew that Lu Huaijin didn't sleep well last night. In fact, the shoulder is not a big problem. It can be recovered after a few days of rest. The point is that the quality of sleep is not good. It is likely to have a chain reaction, which will affect the normal level of the body, and then may cause some unexpected events. disease.

Now that Lu Huaijin fell asleep, it couldn't be better.

Lu Huaijin slept for more than three hours, and it was almost twelve o'clock when she woke up.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Lu Li looked at his father who came out, put the magazine aside, stood up, and looked up and down Lu Huaijin's state, "How do you feel now? Is your shoulder feeling better? "

Lu Huaijin nodded and looked around, "Why didn't you wake me up? You can go home and sleep again. It's been so long now, your mother must be worried." Sleeping in a massage parlor is really too extravagant, don't Speaking of massage parlors, their whole life, even the time to live in a hotel is very limited.Therefore, Lu Huaijin was still a little uncomfortable.

Lu Li looked not worried, "Mom didn't sleep well last night, I told Jessica and the others not to disturb her, let her have a good rest."

At about ten o'clock, he called Song Lingyi, told her about Lu Huaijin's situation, and reassured her.After that, Song Lingyi fell asleep. He called Cole just now to confirm that Song Lingyi was still asleep.

"Let's go eat first. You must be starving now. You ate half a loaf of bread this morning." Lu Li changed the subject, and Lu Huaijin continued to look at Lu Li. After a while, she nodded to express her understanding, and packed her things. He was about to leave, "Wait, let me put the plaster on you first, or I will have to wait until I go home."

Lu Li brought Lu Huaijin back into the room again, put plaster on his shoulder, and then the two left the massage shop.

He decided to eat in Austin temporarily, and Lu Li didn't have an idea, so he searched on the mobile app and went to a well-reviewed American restaurant for dinner.Lu Huaijin ordered a steak hamburger, while Lu Li ordered Turkish barbecue, and also ordered a Caesar salad as an appetizer.

After eating, Lu Huaijin shook her head again and again, "This taste is really..."

After staying in the United States for two months, Lu Huaijin has also tasted all kinds of Western food. Even in the ranch, Lily has shown her skills twice. Now he has gradually been able to distinguish that even the same steak has the same taste and texture. There is still a difference.Although it is said that there are too few tricks in American cuisine, it makes people feel powerless.

"Let's go back and eat." Lu Huaijin looked at the bill with a speechless expression on his face.For a lunch, two people actually ate 34 dollars. This is Austin, the price is much lower than that of Los Angeles and New York, but compared with the food on the ranch, it is still outrageously expensive.

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, nodded and said yes, "Don't worry, I'll cook tonight."

Neither Song Lingyi nor Lu Huaijin had a good rest last night. Although Lu Li was half-baked, he was young and recovering quickly, so he didn't feel anything special. So tonight, he will cook some nutritious food for everyone. .

After leaving Austin, Lu Li took Lu Huaijin towards the road home.Before leaving the boundaries of the city, Lu Huaijin began to doze off, and soon fell asleep in a daze.This reminded Lu Li of Song Lingyi. The two of them went to Austin's flower market before, and it was the same when they came back.

Lu Li felt a little sour.

Life is a wonderful thing. In most of the time, it is often occupied by daily trivial matters. Time slips through the fingers inadvertently like gravel. Every moment of life seems meaningless. Before I realized it, the years had already flowed away like running water.

It seemed that just a second later, Lu Li could recall Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi standing at the door of their house, watching him leave his hometown and go to the United States, or the day when he went to kindergarten for the first time; but in the blink of an eye, the years have passed Everyone left an indelible mark on their body, which could never go back.

Sadly, everyone is belatedly aware, and we don't see it when we're in the game.

Lu Li slowed down the speed of the car a little to make the car stable. It took half an hour longer than usual before returning to the ranch.Then he woke up his father, "Why don't you go back upstairs and lie down for a while?" Usually sleep at night is seven to eight hours, but today during the day, Lu Huaijin only slept for less than five hours at most.

Lu Huaijin stretched, then rubbed her shoulders, "No, I'll go and see the cheese first. If you feel sleepy later, go upstairs to rest."

"Okay, then you should be more careful. It's best not to ride a horse today." Lu Huaijin was a little uncomfortable with Lu Li's warning. It seemed that the roles of father and child had been exchanged quietly.

Lu Huaijin sat in the passenger seat for a moment, then nodded in relief, "I see."

After Lu Huaijin got off the car, Lu Li parked the car in the temporary parking lot and walked back towards the main house.From a distance, you can see Teddy lying on the ground basking in the sun on the porch, as well as Bucky and... Hulk squatting beside him.

Bucky raised his head slightly, bathed in the sun, still showing his usual haughty appearance; Hulk, who was squatting next to him, looked at Bucky curiously, instead of wagging his tail, he carefully looked at the other little guy in front of him. Guy, Hulk's black nose is constantly sniffing, turning left and right around Bucky, as if looking at a brand new species.

Recalling the first meeting between Hulk and Bucky last night, Lu Li couldn't help but become curious.Why is Hulk so interested in Bucky?Could it be because he hadn't seen a cat before?This answer is obviously not reliable.Or did Hulk fall in love with Bucky at first sight?But, involuntarily, Lu Li began to imagine the scene in the Marvel comics where Hulk fell in love with Bucky at first sight, and then he thought of the scene in "The Avengers". The inexplicable sense of joy made Lu Li overjoyed.

"Wow, woof." Hulk called to Bucky. Bucky glanced at Hulk sideways, but didn't answer. He raised his head again, basking in the sun leisurely. This action aroused Hulk's excitement, "Wow, woof, Bark..." He yelled several times in a row, even because he was too excited, his front paws were off the ground, and he tried to stand up, as if he had discovered a new world, and he seemed to be expressing something impatiently.

Teddy lying next to him stood up immediately, the sound of "Wow!" interrupted Hulk's shouting, Hulk looked back at Teddy, and shouted even more excitedly, "Wow!"

If it was a different occasion, Lu Li would only find this series of shouts really annoying, almost chattering, but at this moment, he feels that Disney animation is not necessarily a lie. Animals not only have language, but also It is possible to communicate.It's like right now, Teddy and Hulk are talking, and just now, Hulk was trying to talk to Bucky.

Hearing the shouts behind him, Bucky finally got impatient, stood up, and yelled "meow", Teddy and Hulk looked over one after the other, Bucky "meow" to Teddy He yelled, and then he yelled a few times, but... Lu Li felt that Teddy might not have understood. Teddy's bewildered and honest expression really made people laugh.

Then I saw Bucky jumping down the steps and walking slowly towards the inside of the garden.

Hulk walked to the edge of the porch, shouting at Bucky's back.Lu Li couldn't help but start thinking: I'm your fellow, Bucky, I'm your fellow, don't you remember me?I finally found an organization, I really miss you, Bucky!Don't go, stay!
Hulk yelled for a while, but didn't get a response from Bucky, so he sat down with a lonely face, stuck out his pink tongue, and licked his front paw, once, again.

Lu Li felt that his brain was too big, and he seemed to have returned to his childhood in a trance. The childish innocence never minded the eyes of others, just focused on his own world, and built a magnificent universe in his head.However, as I grew up, that fantasy universe collapsed little by little, until one day, I couldn’t remember it anymore, and if I lost that childlike innocence, I also lost that innocence.People always tell themselves that this is an inevitable process of growth, but it is also the process of reality destroying dreams.

Realizing his absurd idea just now, Lu Li couldn't help but chuckled. He felt that he had better avoid writing manuscripts recently, otherwise he wondered if he would transform into a fairy tale writer like JK Rowling—but, JK - Rowling makes a lot of money!

Brain Hole seemed to be unable to stop the car again, until there was a restless sound of pinging, bang, bang, bang, and bang. When he raised his head, Lu Li saw Li Yitong, and hurriedly tidied up the toolboxes scattered on the ground.
