Chapter 387 387

"Are you Jack Taylor?" Hugo looked at the middle-aged man in surprise, "I remember Jack should be over sixty this year, right?"

"You're talking about my father, old Jack, I'm Little Jack." Little Jack said with a smile, "You know my father?" Little Jack did not expect that this young man in his twenties was not the first I came to the town once, but looking at his appearance, he didn't look like a tourist who came to the town for the first time. When they were discussing just now, they also felt that this young man seemed familiar.

Hugo recalled it carefully and vaguely remembered that the son of old Jack Taylor was indeed called Little Jack Taylor, but when he was still in Lanches, Little Jack Taylor seemed to go outside to study, so Not much contact.

Just as Hugo fell into memory, little Jack frowned slightly with his hands on his waist, "Sir, have I seen you before? I always think you look familiar." Little Jack racked his brains trying to wake up his memory, Lan Lan Chase is a small town. As a police detective, in fact, most of the residents of the town know each other. Even if he can't name his face, he knows the face, so he is very sure that he should have met this person.

Then little Jack saw the young man in front of him showing a faint smile, and then his memory was awakened in an instant, "Hey, you are Hugo, right? That kid from Lancaster!"

Hugo really did not expect that Little Jack would remember him, because in his memory, he had very little contact with Little Jack. After all, there was a teenage age gap between the two, even though Lancaster was still in Lancaster. At the time, the two of them couldn't play together. But even so, Hugo nodded, "Yes."

"Boy, it's really you, no wonder I said how familiar you are." Little Jack patted Hugo's arm excitedly, then turned back to the other three people at the gas station and shouted, "This is Lancaster's house. The boy." The three cowboys also suddenly realized that they raised the cowboy hats in their hands to say hello to Hugo.

Little Jack looked back at Hugo, and said with a smile, "I heard that you went to Los Angeles to act, and Michelle told me to go to the theater to see your movie, saying that your movie was praised very well. , It seems that you are also a big star now." Little Jack continued to talk, but he didn't seem to seek Hugo's answer, he continued, "So, you came back to see Adam this time, right? He's gotten a lot better recently. It's not like he had a bad cough in January. The doctor told him to quit smoking, but you know, it's almost impossible for them. My dad is also coughing all the time, but If I told him not to smoke, he would immediately chase me around with a shotgun."

After a short period of stagnation, Hugo's thoughts finally began to move slowly along with Little Jack's continuous stride forward. He listened to the news in Little Jack's words, but a storm surged in his heart. He never knew that Adam's health was not good, because every time he called Adam, the two of them broke up unhappily. Recalling Adam's gong-like voice, could it be because of nicotine?

"How many years have you not been back, ten years?" Little Jack said enthusiastically, "At the beginning of the year, my father went to Cheyenne and came back with the poster of your movie, which made the town very lively for a while. , everyone was talking about your childhood. I thought those memories had disappeared, but who knows, looking at your appearance on the poster, all the memories popped up. There is also a group of people who specially organized to go to Cheyenne to see As for your movie, I heard it was pretty good, which made Michelle want to see it all the time."

There's no movie theater in Lanches, so everyone has to drive to Cheyenne to see a movie, but it's not a 15-minute drive away. Hugo can imagine the excitement of the town's simple residents when they found out that the hairy child who grew up beside them actually appeared on the big screen, so they spontaneously organized to go to the cinema to show their support, this kind of kindness from the countryside. And enthusiasm, make people feel a warm heart.

"You have another movie coming out this time, right? I heard that it's a romance movie, but Michelle is excited. I plan to take her to Cheyenne on a date next week, and I'll go to the cinema to watch it by the way." Jack said eagerly, and then looked at Hugo with a bright smile, "If everyone in the town knew that you were back, it would definitely be too lively."

Facing little Jack's enthusiasm, Hugo really couldn't tell the fact that he planned to leave in the afternoon. But on the other hand, Hugo couldn't help but be a little curious. Isn't it easy to spread gossip in such a small town? So why doesn't Little Jack know that his relationship with Adam is very bad, Adam drove Lena away, he and Adam fell out and went to Los Angeles, and he didn't come back for ten years... These things are the focus of gossip, but why does Little Jack see You don't know at all? In particular, he is still a police detective in the town, which is basically a gossip sending and receiving station.

Walking side by side with little Jack, Hugo approached the home in his memory step by step. Although he hadn't returned for ten years, the surrounding scenery was so familiar that the simple and dilapidated log cabin soon appeared in sight. Inside, Hugo knew, that was Adam's convenience store. Adam is an old carpenter and an old cowboy. His carpentry skills are among the best in the town. At the same time, he also runs a convenience store, which is the best in the town. It has a long history and is owned by the locals. It has the unanimous support of the residents of the town.

Before walking to the wooden house, Hugo's footsteps were hesitant, and he couldn't help slowing down. This was not only the timidity of being close to the country, but also the nervousness that Lancaster and Chen Hugo had before meeting their father. The pressure made Hugo feel heavy on his feet. Although he had talked with Adam several times on the phone, he didn't know how the situation would develop after the real meeting. The confusion brought about by this matter of crossing is obviously still not over.

Little Jack noticed Hugo's hesitation, and he turned around and said, "Don't worry, Adam won't say anything to you, aren't you successful? That's why you're only willing to come back now, right? So, There's no need to think so much." Little Jack's words left Hugo confused, what and what? But Little Jack obviously had no plans to explain further, he turned back and pointed to a corner of the convenience store's entrance, "Look, Adam has already put up your movie poster, which means that he has recognized your success, doesn't it? "

Hugo's gaze followed Little Jack's gesture, and at a glance, he saw the poster of "Sleepless in Seattle" posted in a very conspicuous position, which made Hugo a little stunned. Because during the phone call, Adam never dared to be interested in his film work. Even if he wanted to take the initiative to mention it, Adam was dismissive and didn't want to talk about it at all. Satisfied appearance. but now……

"Jack," Hugo finally said, and Jack was talking from beginning to end just now, but Hugo had to raise his inner doubts, "I haven't come back for ten years, my father What did you say?"

"He said you decided to become an actor, but he didn't agree, so he kicked you out of the house and wouldn't come home until you succeeded." Little Jack said simply, "Hugo, we all know you It's not easy. At the beginning, many old people in the town came out and condemned your father for this matter. Even if he didn't agree with your wish to be a member and actor, he shouldn't kick you out of the house. You know, you have always been A well-behaved kid who didn't do anything wrong. At least you've stayed away from fights, alcohol, drugs. Bad stuff..."

Hugo had no time to laugh at himself, because Lancaster was smoking. It was the overdose of poison that caused his transmigration, and more of his thoughts were occupied by Jack's previous words: Adam actually said that he drove him out of the house? And he also put all the mistakes on his shoulders, letting all the accusations of the town residents fall on him.

No wonder Little Jack is not at all curious about Hugo not coming back for ten years, because he thinks this is the time Hugo is struggling, and even if Hugo wants to come back, Adam disagrees. But the fact is that I chose to run away from home, I fell out with my father, and I don't want to go home...

The thoughts in Hugo's head were a little confused. The situation he knew was in great conflict with the current situation. He couldn't immediately sort out his thoughts. He needed a little time, or he needed to have a face-to-face talk with Adam.

But before Hugo and Little Jack could react further, just two steps away from the convenience store, a fierce quarrel came from the convenience store, "How dare you! I told you, Hugo's There's nothing wrong with the choice!" The voice was clearly Adam's gruff voice.

"You're crazy! I'm just talking about the fact that Hugo shouldn't be in a movie that sissies watch, John. Wayne should be Hugo's goal!" Another voice Very low, hoarse even more serious than Adam, some are familiar, but more are still unfamiliar, Hugo faintly felt that this voice should have been known to him when he was a child.

"Shut up! I watched that movie, so am I also a sissy? No, you are the real sissy, the guy who doesn't dare to admit that the movie is good." Adam said angrily, and after he finished speaking, he was still fierce He coughed, but he still panted and roared, "I tell you, you can't understand the intelligence of that kid Hugo, he will choose this movie and naturally have his own ideas, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, you Stupid old cowboy, don't you remember when Hugo was mute you when he was a kid?"

The convenience store fell silent, only Adam's coughing sounded, and after about two seconds, another voice rang out and said gloomily, "Since you are so confident in your kid, why not face you? Tell him? When the media were talking nonsense before, they just saw you jumping around at home, and you didn't have the courage to make a phone call to that kid, cut."

Adam didn't answer, just coughed violently, as if his lungs were about to be coughed out.
