Chapter 9 Charlie's Old Friend

Bella's journey to Foxtown was very smooth, the train did not derail, there were no bombs on the car, and there was no chance of being smashed into patties by billboards, telephone poles, etc. while eating, no short circuit of wires, no deflagration, all the way. Safety.

It was on the train that the conversation between father and daughter was awkward.

Charlie thought she was overly frightened, understood and took good care of her.

The initial conversation between the two was basically awkward.

"You have long hair?"

"Ah, yeah, I haven't cut it since the last time I saw you."

"...Growing up really fast."

and so on.

Bella didn't know what topics her predecessor and her father had talked about. She was worried about revealing the truth. She was very silent in the past. Fortunately, she had experienced the toy car incident and the Flight 180 incident, so she could talk about it.

In order to resolve the embarrassment, she consciously brought the topic to Natasha's mother. Men are big hooves, so it's definitely right to talk to them about women!

Facts have proved that even Charlie, who is very introverted, will not refuse this topic. Listen to Bella about using anti-wolf spray to bring down the robber, and listen to her about how Mrs. Natasha knocked down the enemy with an over-the-shoulder throw, father and daughter. The relationship between them is clearly warmed up.

In addition to dealing with Charlie's various concerns on the road, Bella has also been thinking about self-help.

She doesn't believe in God, and the old man of God will not come to bless her, the only one she can rely on is herself.

......

"Here, do you still have any impressions? That cafe at the intersection, we used to eat together often?" Charlie drove Bella home in a police car.

There are only more than 3,000 people in Fox Town, which is typically vast and sparsely populated.

To be honest, the outside of the town is still very beautiful. If you look around, you can see all the green in the sight, the moss on the trunk is green, the leaves are green, even many ferns are green, the air is very fresh, a veritable virgin forest. ......

Charlie himself has a small white house in the town. This is the house he and Bella's mother bought at the beginning of their marriage. The marriage lasted only a little more than a year. The style of the house is a little old-fashioned. There are lawns, cars are parked at will, and there is no concept of a garage in the town.

Bella looked left and right. Unlike those apartments in Arizona, there were many houses in Foxtown, but at a glance, you could see that everyone's houses were different in style and color, and they might not be the same as other people's houses. Is it a symbol of freedom and individuality? She doesn't know much either...

Bella lives in the bedroom on the second floor facing the front yard. With modern floors and dark red walls, you can see that Charlie made some arrangements in advance. Many graffiti, photos, and star posters that are suspected to be Bella's childhood are hung on the wall. On, pillows, quilts, lamps are all new, the room is a bit small, there is a second-hand computer, the basic necessities of life are all there.

"For you, I don't know if you like it or not." Seeing that Charlie was about to leave, Bella hurriedly took out the small gift she had bought at the airport. She almost forgot a lot of things she was busy talking about.

"Oh, thank you! It's so pretty!" A small gift can add to the feeling, and Bella then goes to town for dinner, and Charlie agrees very happily.

The "Di Di Di" horn sounded outside the house, and Charlie couldn't help laughing: "It's my old friend, come, let's go down together."

The father and daughter came out of the house. This rather pleasant journey made Charlie feel that his daughter had made some good changes. He solemnly introduced his friends to her daughter.

"This is Billy Black, my old friend, this is my daughter Bella, do you still remember?" The object he introduced was a middle-aged man in a wheelchair.

If you ignore the wheelchair, the middle-aged man can be said to be extremely burly. He has brown skin, a square face, and long shawl hair. He is an Indian with very obvious characteristics.

However, Indians are now a discriminatory term. According to official requirements, this title cannot be used. They are now collectively referred to as 'Native Americans'.

Bella respected each other very much, even a little too much.

The first rule of the Marvel Survival Code is that you must not underestimate any person in a wheelchair in the Marvel world. The chances of such a character being a boss are very high!

The able-bodied people like Bella live like walking on thin ice. A disabled person can live a very nourishing life in a wheelchair without relying on the sky, the ground, or the government. This is the ability!

She showed a generous and decent smile: "Hello, Uncle Black."

The middle-aged Indian shook hands with her gently, but at the moment when his fingers touched, there was still a trace of strangeness on his face that was hidden under the cowboy hat.

"You're getting prettier? Charlie didn't stop talking after he knew you were coming." The middle-aged Indian laughed and teased his old friend.

Charlie tilted his head and looked aside, as if he was a little embarrassed. He whispered, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll push you into the mud."

"Then I'll break your leg first!" The middle-aged Indian in a wheelchair and Charlie fought like children.

The two middle-aged people consciously gave up the space, and the young man who had been holding the wheelchair had the opportunity to take two steps forward.

Seeing that the other party was very shy, Bella said preemptively, "Hey, are you Jacob? I remember you, you are much stronger than when you were young, and I almost can't recognize you."

This is a typical all-purpose opening remark in chat, and it is basically not wrong to use it on young men. After all, there are very few people who are willing to be told that "you are more mother than you were when you were a child".

The young man has the unique features of Indians. At this time, Bella's opening remarks were extremely embarrassed, and his dog-licking gesture was undoubtedly revealed.

"You too...you also...more" He wanted to say more beautiful compliments, but when the words came to his lips, he was a little embarrassed to speak.

Because the two young people were embarrassed by each other, the conversation ended in two sentences, but Bella had some ideas of her own at this time, and she was still in control of the topic.

"I remember that you liked to study those mechanical devices when you were young. Do you still play it now? Will you modify motorcycles?" She asked curiously.

Hearing the goddess talking to him in such a soft voice, the young man licking the dog, Jacob, was so excited that he almost jumped up the tree. He was really not confident when he mentioned other things, but did he talk about refitting a motorcycle? This is what he does best!

"Do you like it too? Would you like to visit my workshop?" he asked excitedly.

Bella had an obvious hesitation: "If I go...is it appropriate?"

There is a problem with the Indian reserve here. The former natives, the former owners, have now been "protected" by the American people. If Bella enters the reserve without permission, it is illegal to be caught.
