Claire didn't stay in the big city of Cheyenne, but set off for the Rocky Mountains. She didn't want to see the scenery of these cities. In the jungle of steel and concrete, it was far better than being close to nature. ^^^Baidu $Search x-on:孟神纪+Read this chapter^^^ This is also one of the purposes of Claire's departure. So she left the city and headed for the Rocky Mountains along the kilometers.
What you can see along the way is the grassland. Looking from a distance, there is still snow on the top of the Rocky Mountains. Claire walked like this, and saw the car going in the direction of the Rocky Mountain from a distance. Someone stopped the car deliberately, gestured to her, and asked her if she wanted a ride. Claire was also not polite, and continued her style, going up when invited, and not stopping the car to ask for it if not invited. So we got into a truck.
This truck was heading for a small town at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. This small town was called Rawlins Town. The town has a small population, only about 700 people. The car placed Claire in a small hotel in the small town. This small hotel is for the solo visitor to the Rocky Mountains.
Few people travel here in groups. Because the place here doesn't look very big, and it looks a little desolate. Even if you go to the Rocky Mountains, you don't take this road. On the contrary, there are more individual tourists. They are either young men and women hiking like Claire, or a family traveling to the Rocky Mountains.
The hotel is not tall, just three floors. Although it is bigger than the small hotel on the roadside, it is not much bigger. Claire looked, the door was open, and there was an old man in his fifties with full whiskers at the door. Wearing a cowboy-style hat, leaning against the door, with a piece of dead grass in his mouth. He also squinted at Claire.
"Stay in?" the old man said to Claire, and seeing Claire nod, he yelled inside, "Hey, Bates, come here, we have guests. Take this girl to the boarding house." machine." As he said that, he waved towards the inside, and a chubby girl ran out from inside. Wearing a yellow shirt and a pair of jeans, he is not tall, but very strong. As soon as she went out, she gave Claire a sideways glance, and then waved her hand: "Follow me, little girl."
"Bates, as I said, you have to wear a uniform when you go to work. We are the only high-end hotel in the town. Damn it... If you don't wear a uniform to work tomorrow, I will make you look good..." The old man faced back The girl yelled loudly, but it was obvious. Fat girl Bates didn't like him at all.
"Is he the boss?" Claire said following the fat girl Bates. "It looks strange. I've never seen a hotel boss stand at the door to attract guests."
"He thinks he's a handsome guy, but we never thought of it that way. He's just a bad old man. Likes to suck on girls. So watch out.
You look so beautiful, I seldom see a beautiful little girl like you travel alone here, almost never, of course... now you are the first one! The fat girl Bates took Claire to the third floor, and then opened the door of a room.
"You can see the Rocky Mountains across from here. But... there's really nothing to see." Bates shook his head and said, "I've been here since I was a child. So... I don't want to face a lot of people every day. and those sweaty, stinking lumberjacks. A lot of people here do these jobs, damn it... well, here's the key..." Said turning a hand that looked a little discolored The dark brass key was handed to Claire.
"The key of the eighteenth century!" Claire shrugged her shoulders while holding the copper key.
"Yes, everything here is old and antique, the keys are like this, and even the people are like this. Young people don't want to stay here, and I am the same. Call me if you have something... By the way, there is no phone here, You have to stand at the top of the stairs and shout my name down there—call me Bates, that’s all right!” After the fat girl Bates finished speaking, she stomped downstairs, and then she didn’t know what to say. Mumbling something.
"Rocky Mountains, I like it!" Claire stood at the window, and then pushed open the window, looking at the mountains in front of her, and there seemed to be endless things that attracted her hidden in the dense woods. She even remembered the trip she had taken to Yosemite National Park with Zhen Fan. If it wasn't for Zhen that time, he might not be here long ago.
Claire is going to walk into the Rocky Mountains, but before that, she is also ready. She was carrying a dagger, a machete, and bought a tent nearby. She was going to camp in the Rocky Mountains. And in this hotel, she only planned to stay for one night. Tomorrow she will take the tent and tools into the mountain. Originally, I wanted to buy a pair of bows and arrows. But this is a national park, and she doesn't know that those animals are the ones she shouldn't touch. So she didn't buy it at all, and she was running out of money. After completing these preparations, Claire breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this time, it was already late. At this time, she received a call from Teri again, and thanked her instead of Jamie on the phone. Claire hung up the phone after saying a few words, she didn't want to say anything more about this matter. All this is in the past.
While Claire was preparing to go to the Rocky Mountains, Zhen Fan was also having dinner with Eric in a Chinese restaurant. What Zhen Fan ordered was Yuanyang Hot Pot, so he only needed to add meat and other food to it.
Eric was sweating profusely, but he still enjoyed it. And it is still the most boiled in the red soup, and the meat is also the most. After the meal, he was already sweating profusely. Zhen Fan came out, planning to take a walk on the street. And he was going to call Claire.
"Hey, Claire, I feel that you are getting closer to me." Zhen Fan smiled at Claire, "Are you heading towards Denver? When will you arrive in Denver? Maybe We can go to New York together."
"Yeah, I'm headed for Denver right now, but... now I'm going to the Rocky Mountains. I'm in a town called Rawlins at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. But I have to say , it's really wild, it's like going back to the west in the 19th century. There are a group of old cowboys who are full of energy... oh my god, they are really full of energy, as if they are riding a horse... this reminds me of When I was riding... on the grassland!" Claire looked a little excited over there. Maybe it was because of Zhen Fan's call.
"Riding a horse? Of course, I remember being on the grasslands of Montana." Zhen Fan also laughed loudly, and then said, "I want to go and see what you said. Okay...you continue to go to the park. Kishan, we'll find that place, maybe we can go hunting in the forest together."
The other side was stunned for a moment, and then said with a joyful tone: "Okay, Dad, but... I may not be with you anymore, I have prepared a lot of things for camping in the Rocky Mountains alone Yes. And I brought a tent!" Claire said with some pride, "I will experience the feeling of living alone in the wild."
"Well, living alone in the wild, I hope this is the beginning of your own life. Learn to overcome difficulties! And... don't let the jade pendant leave your body, just remember this." Zhen Fan said exhorted. Yes, even if the jade pendant he carved didn't have that family's soul staying in it, it still had a strong protective effect.
"Don't worry, Dad, everything will be fine, by the way... I will stay in the Rocky Mountains for a few days, and then I will go on the road alone again. To be honest, I would like to go with you, but I still stick to my one Human travel!" Claire was rejecting the idea of traveling with Zhen Fan.
Well, since they don't go together, Zhen Fan doesn't care. After all, this is Claire's trip alone, so it's really not good for me to intervene in it like this. He hopes that Claire is not a flower in the greenhouse, but a girl who has the ability to deal with crises alone, has the ability to protect herself, and has the ability to survive.
"If this is the case, then you have to learn to protect yourself." Zhen Fan said goodbye to Claire, then hung up the phone and looked at Eric next to him, "Okay, Eric, We will go to the hotel. Tomorrow morning, we will go to Rawlins and stay there for two days. Let's go..." He turned around and headed back to the hotel.
"Rollins? My God, where is Rollins? Are you sure that's on the map of America? How come I've never heard of a place like this... Hey Master, what are we doing there? Are there gold mines, silver mines, or diamonds? Are we going to Africa?..." Eric said loudly to Zhen Fan's back, and then hurriedly followed, yes, it looks like It's like an impromptu ridiculous decision.
Early the next morning, Zhen Fan and Eric started on the road. They drove from Denver to Cheyenne in just over four hours. Then Zhen Fan started looking for the small town of Rollins on the map. Finally, follow the navigation and start moving forward. Eric was very dissatisfied with Zhen Fan's temporary change of route along the way, but he didn't dare to show it, so he could only complain loudly to the damn windy and sandy weather on the road.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at Rollins. The sun at three o'clock is no longer so basking. Zhen Fan got out of the car and walked to the only hotel that looked clean. In front of the door, there was an old man in his fifties wearing a cowboy hat leaning against the door of the hotel, with a piece of hay in his mouth.
"Didn't expect to find cowboys here. Aha—an old cowboy, where are all the young people now?" Eric got out of the car and started talking, "Hey, I said... You're the boss? Oh my god, you should let us in and give us a room." (To be continued)
