Four Hundred and Eighty-Nine Chapters Go Camping with the Strange
On his way back, Luke destroyed most of the equipment and firearms he used this time, and threw their residues into the big river in Big Bend Park.
He and Selena, who had put on their previous sportswear, got into the car parked in the parking lot and returned to Shackford all the way.
Entering the town, Luke first sent Selena to the door.
Selena: "Aren't you going home?"
Luke shrugged: "I'm going to go to the mountains outside the grandpa's ranch and stay alone for two days to cultivate my sentiments."
Selena understood what this meant.
After killing so many people in Mexico, he didn't want to be noticed by his family.
Selena thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go too. I also need a quiet place to rest until I say hello to my mother."
Saying that, she got out of the car and entered the house, and got in the car again after a while.
Before the car started, the two of them looked helpless and looked out of the co-pilot's door.
Of course Sandra doesn't care where they go to play, but the beautiful knife on the porch outside the house has followed him tremblingly, shaking his head and shaking his tail outside the car, trying his best to please the little master.
Selena hesitated and asked, "Can I bring it?"
Luke: "Of course, Mei Dao is so good. Right, Mei Dao!"
With his greeting, the tail of the beautiful knife outside the car wagged more happily, and the tip of his nose made a more rapid rumbling.
For this kind of cute jerk,
Neither of them could resist.
Selena laughed, leaned over, and opened the back door: "Come up, Beauty Knife."
Mei Dao leisurely climbed into the back seat and sat down honestly.
Selena rubbed its big head affectionately: "Good."
Luke started the car with a smile and drove out of town.
Although he went to the mountain outside the grandpa's ranch, he did not go to see the grandpa.
He didn't want to meet Robert and the others now, and neither did Grandpa.
The two drove to the foot of the mountain next to the ranch, stopped the car, picked up the things, and strolled along.
This is a place that both of them are familiar with.
Luke has played here for an unknown number of weekends and holidays since he was a child.
Selena's father, Marino, worked in Grandpa Luke's ranch and played here from childhood to adulthood.
However, Luke went to elementary school, Selena went to middle school, Luke went to middle school, and Selena graduated.
The two are familiar with each other, but they did not meet much when they were young.
Returning to the most familiar environment in this hometown, both of them relaxed inexplicably, and the constant rushing and annoyance gradually dissipated, and their hearts were at peace.
The old golden retriever followed Selena obediently, just looking at the small animals that occasionally sprang around, but did not chase.
It is too old, and its curiosity has diminished, and it just wants to guard the little master.
Along a small stream, the two entered a little deeper in the mountainous area where fewer people walked.
Shackleford is sparsely populated, and the cowboys and workers in the ranch have complicated affairs. Most of the time they enter a hill or two in the mountains, and there is no sign of anyone moving.
In general camping, everyone walks around the periphery. If you go deeper into the mountains, you will only encounter more dangers, but the scenery is similar, and it is completely unnecessary.
It only took the two of them half an hour to walk to an open space beside the creek.
The surrounding trees are all far apart, and there are ready-to-use bonfires in the clearing.
This is the camping spot that people often choose when they come to visit.
There is water, there is open space, and it is not far from the outside world, but it is enough to be confined.
Here, apart from the chirping of various insects and birds in the mountains and forests, no human voice can be heard.
People who are used to living in big cities may be very uncomfortable with this environment.
There is no distant sound of vehicles driving, no faint occasional shouting, no loud music or TV programs played by some people, and even when the wind blows, there is only the rustling of the branches and leaves of the trees, not the clutter of windows. The noise of things shaking and colliding.
Luke and Selena are quite used to this kind of environment, and even enjoy this kind of tranquility.
Moreover, with the old golden retriever of the beautiful knife on the side, the two are not alone.
Luke took the ingredients that Selena brought from home, quickly cooked a barbecue, used the firewood she found, lit the bonfire, and adjusted the appropriate size, he smiled: "You can eat it in an hour. , you can go and play by yourself."
Selena stretched her waist greatly: "No, I'll sleep for a while."
Saying that, she hugged the big head of the knife and warned, "Don't disturb me in my sleep, go and follow Luke, understand?"
The old golden retriever licked her hand affectionately, indicating that he understood.
Selena just opened the zipper of the tent on the side, got in, and soon let out an even breathing sound, she really fell asleep.
Luke looked at her for a moment, then turned his head, beckoned for Mei Dao, and scratched his chin lightly.
Mei Dao narrowed her eyes comfortably, and lay obediently beside him.
In the clearing by the stream, only the firewood in the fire occasionally crackled.
After sleeping for hours, Selena woke up.
The two didn't talk much, and after eating the barbecue, they walked around the mountains and forests.
Luke walked alone, thinking about the follow-up issues of this operation, as well as the future of Selena.
Selena walked in the woods with a beautiful knife, looking preoccupied.
Such a peaceful day.
In the middle of the night, Luke, who was still looking at the documents, suddenly stopped, opened the tent and walked out.
In the night sky, a fire flashed across, and finally fell into the distant mountains and forests.
Luke raised his eyebrows: This is... a meteorite?
He had never seen a meteorite fall, but it looked a bit like it.
Mainly because the distance is quite far, and he can't see clearly.
Not far away, Selena in the tent also sat up: "What's wrong?"
Luke shrugged: "It seems like a meteorite fell over there."
Selena snorted, didn't care too much, wanted to lie down again, and suddenly paused: "You don't want to dig for meteorites, do you?"
Luke thought for a while and shook his head: "Forget it, there's no need to go there in the middle of the night. After breakfast tomorrow, let's go take a look."
Selena yawned: "That's fine." After speaking, she fell back to sleep.
Before it was changed, she would definitely let Luke show her there.
But since last night, she has been a little out of spirits, and always feels that she is not interested in doing anything.
Luke shook his head helplessly, packed his things, and returned to the tent to rest.
Early in the morning, Selena woke up at six o'clock.
The quality of sleep here is really far better than that in the city. She slept early last night, and she has no intention of staying in bed in the wild.
After getting up, looking at Luke who was training in the distance, she greeted her, went to wash and brush her teeth, and Mei Dao immediately got up and followed her.
Luke also started making breakfast.
Wait a minute, the two can go to the meteorite that fell last night and have a look.
