Chapter 386 386
The deep gorges meander between the cliffs, the dense pine forests go north along the Rocky Mountains, the intricate limestone caves are hidden in the rolling mountain streams, and the hot springs erupting intermittently in the geothermal valleys linger among the mountains and forests. Dense, sometimes you can hear the strange sound of steam echoing in the valley, bison and brown bears walk on the gravel road in the mountains, lakes, glaciers, forests and snowfields in the line of sight outline the vastness of heaven and earth magnificently. .
On this vast land, the sound of the car's wheels moving forward seems so lonely, and every corner you see out of the window is as beautiful as a postcard, and the endless vastness makes people look at it It looked like a speck of dust, so insignificant that it could dissipate in the oncoming wind at any moment.
After entering Wyoming, Hugo's heartbeat began to lose its original rhythm. He could clearly feel that this land was his hometown. This feeling was very strange, because this was the first time Chen Hugo came to Kurt Hell. (Colters. Hell), but the call from the boiling blood, the uneasiness, the restlessness, the calm, is mixed so that the mouth is dry and overwhelmed. Hugo wasn't sure if it came from the body's instinct, or the reaction of his soul after he and Lancaster's memories were mostly merged. Hugo thought it should be the latter.
Because even though Hugo knew very well that he had never been to this land, the sights were so familiar and real that he could even picture himself wearing a plaid shirt, jeans and boots as a child in his mind. He looked like a little cowboy, and that brown cowboy hat was held in his hand like a baby.
Suddenly, Hugo was a little scared, afraid to see Adam Lancaster, not because the two father and son quarreled again, but because Adam would see through him, if Adam knew that the soul in this skin was no longer his. What a terrible blow it would be when the child was born; at the same time, Hugo could still feel the rejection and hesitation from his soul, he knew that Lancaster was still refusing to return to his hometown, refusing to have further contact with his father. touch.
The kind of fear and confusion bloomed on the tip of the tongue, and the bitterness and worry disrupted all the thoughts in my mind. For a moment, Hugo wanted to flee. He wanted to leave here and leave this land. In fact, he had this opportunity, because the teammates who died of glory didn't know about Hugo's family, so naturally they didn't know. This is Hugo's hometown, and Hugo has not mentioned his plans to go home to visit his father, so he can continue his journey to Denver with the band.
However, Hugo forced himself to stay, he knew that escaping could not solve the problem, he could not escape for a lifetime.
Glory to Death After three days in Salt Lake City, he drove to Cheyenne, and then stayed in Cheyenne for two more days. This city of cowboys is not so keen on street performances, but the simplicity and kindness of the residents It still made the band's performance a little bit angry. During the performance, there were always so many dozen or twenty people who stopped to applaud the band. This situation has changed a lot.
Just before the band was about to leave Cheyenne, Hugo finally made up his mind, "Guys, let's leave in the afternoon, okay? My house is near here, and I need to go home."
Hugo's words surprised the band members, "Why didn't you say earlier, we can go together?" Pedro's personality was the most straightforward, and he said it as a matter of course. Hugo wants to go home.
But Neil, Fokine and Alfonso all noticed the difficulty in Hugo's words. Hugo didn't say anything about going home until he left Cheyenne, and he didn't reveal any words before, which means that Hugo didn't want the band members to know, it was his personal privacy. However, Hugo didn't lie, he could find another excuse - such as visiting friends or something, but he still told the truth, which shows that he is willing to believe in the band members, it's just family... The topic of family is too much Sensitive, everyone will have some unspeakable secrets more or less.
Neil's reaction was still the fastest, "Pepe, didn't you yell that you wanted to watch the rodeo yesterday? It just so happened that Hugo went to work today, and we went to the game so that it wouldn't affect our schedule." Neil In fact, I have noticed that Hugo has become more and more anxious in the past few days. At first, Neil thought that Hugo was worried that the band's performance had not attracted more audiences, but now it seems that there is obviously another answer.
"Just go back, we'll wait for you to meet here, and then set off." Fu Jin said simply, because he lived above Hugo, he still heard a few words more or less, but Fu Jin said simply. Kim didn't plan to speculate on his own, it was all Hugo's family business, and he wasn't gossiping or curious.
Alfonso quietly pulled Pedro behind him. He saw Pedro looking at Neil and Fukuin with a puzzled look. Obviously, he didn't quite understand their polite remarks. After pulling a hand, although he was more puzzled, he still closed his mouth obediently.
Seeing the cautious looks of his teammates, Hugo was amused instead, he chuckled, "It's nothing, it's just that after I left home at the age of fourteen, I never saw my father again, so, I don't know what's going to happen, it's better for me to go back alone. If there is a chance, I'll wait for you to visit next time, at least make sure I don't get lost."
Hugo's explanation made Pedro suddenly look embarrassed, and then Pedro said "sorry" generously, Hugo naturally didn't mind, "Although we haven't known each other for a long time, you don't have a good eye. We all know everything." This sentence immediately made both Neil and Alfonso chuckle, and Pedro looked even more depressed.
With this little episode from his teammates, Hugo's nervous mood relaxed a little bit, but after getting in the taxi, the nervous mood suddenly hit his heart again.
Lanches is not far from Cheyenne, about eight miles away, and can be reached in fifteen minutes without traffic jams. Hugo looked out the window at the increasingly familiar scenery, those mountains, trees and clouds, as if they had not changed for more than ten years.
It is really interesting to say that Chen Yuguo and Lancaster seem to have too many similarities. Chen Yuguo left home at the age of fifteen, while Lancaster was fourteen years old, and then fifteen years old. Filming his first film "Diner", both of them haven't been home for ten years. At this time, Lancaster was on his way home, so why wasn't Chen Huguo on his way home?
Hugo couldn't help thinking, if this is his bus home, have the hills and woods outside the window changed? Are the dirt roads in your hometown paved? Has the county's buildings changed? Ten years, what a long period of time, there are so many things that can be changed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a vicissitudes of life, and my life has only entered the twenty-sixth year, this way home is like this Quiet, yet so noisy.
The road goes north along the spacious pasture. The cattle and sheep walking in the pasture are basking lazily in the sun. This should be the Chase family's pasture. Sure enough, when they passed the gate of the ranch, the huge "Chase family" "Although the brand is no longer the black piece of wood in memory, it is still a familiar word.
Before entering the town, Hugo got out of the taxi and stood at the gate of this typical western village, looking greedily at the scenery in all directions, but his footsteps stopped in place and could not even take a single step. It's not that he doesn't know the way, it's that he wants to see this place clearly.
In fact, the changes in the town were much less than expected. Hugo searched for the familiar building based on the vague memory in his mind, the policeman who was faded by the wind and rain. The police station is still standing at the entrance of the town, and the only police car is parked at the door, but the sheriff should not be the Jake Taylor in Hugo's memory.
police. There was a gas station in the open space opposite the police station, which was not in Hugo's memory, and there were also a few more bungalows in the open space in the past, which looked like a store, and the one diagonally opposite. The pizzeria turned into a hotel, I don't know how it was transformed inside.
Although some houses have been added, the whole street has not changed much. Hugo can even draw a picture of himself running on the street. Everything is so unfamiliar yet so familiar.
"Hey, young man, can I help you?" A voice came from the gas station. Hugo turned to look at the gas station. There were three people gathered in the gas station, dressed in plaid shirts, jeans and leather boots. With a strong cowboy style, they cast their eyes over and discussed in a low voice. For such a quiet town, it is not a common occurrence for outsiders to visit, but since they have built new gas stations and shops, it shows that there are still some more passing passengers.
The man who came out had a beer belly, was wearing a police detective uniform, and held his hat in his hand, then put on his hat as he walked, "Welcome to Lanchestown, are you passing by or are you planning to stay here?"
"Is there anything worth staying in this town?" Hugo asked, the middle-aged man in front of him seemed to have some impressions in his mind, because this is a town with a big palm, and almost everyone should know more or less. But he really couldn't remember the name of the other party, and he was habitually confused.
"Of course, we have arranged a ranch experience activity here. When you came in just now, you should have seen the Chase family's ranch, where you can experience the life of a cowboy. Also, if you want to go hiking, you can also Accommodation here is much cheaper than Cheyenne." The detective introduced enthusiastically, "Yes, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the town's detective, Jack Taylor."
