Chapter 601 The Young People in the Small Town

Lecce, Montana.

White snow has covered the entire town, and the people in the town are all in the house, only a few people inside are driving the car and slowly dragging the hay in the pasture, which is prepared for the winter of cattle and horses, because of this sudden heavy snow , Half of the forage has been covered by heavy snow.

"Hey, boy, where are you going?" The fat middle-aged man who was driving the car and dragged the hay jumped out of the car. When he was fastening the tarpaulin that was blown away by the wind again, he saw a A person walking alone in the town, with his head bowed, his collar turned up, and snow in his hair.

"I want to find a place to eat, I'm not familiar with this town! So... I haven't found it yet!" The man approached, a very young man with a very friendly smile on his face, and The backpack on his back was also covered with snow, and he looked like a traveler who had traveled a long distance.

"No wonder you can't find it. We have a bar here, but it doesn't have a bar sign. We all call it 'Jack's Treasure'. Yes, that's the word. If you want to go, I can bring You go, but you have to wait until I put this cart of fodder into the warehouse."

"Okay, I'll wait for you!" The young man stood and watched him reverse the car into the garage, then dumped the whole car of fodder, and waited for the middle-aged man to come out. He was still standing on the snow.

"Let's go, young man, I want to have a drink now, maybe I'll treat you to a drink!" The man said, took off his gloves, and stretched out his hand to Zhen Fan. The two shook hands, "Anthony Hughes, you can call me a drunkard. Because I like to drink, and I like to hear people call me that!"

"A very special hobby!" The young man smiled, followed Anthony Hughes, and walked towards a relatively ordinary-looking house not far away. The young man passed by there just now, and he couldn't tell that it was a bar at all, no different from the houses of ordinary residents.

In fact, it is the same as walking in, it is the room of ordinary residents. After remodeling the living room, a large bar was made and several tables were placed. It became a bar. Looking at the lintel, it really says "Jack's Treasure", it seems. The owner here is a man named Jack.

Jack is an old man in his sixties. His hair is half white, but he is very energetic. There are about ten tables in the room, and only two of them are occupied, so there are only eight people in the whole bar. up.

"Hey, Anthony, have you brought any guests? Why haven't I seen them before?" The drinker over there greeted Anthony Jack loudly.

"I picked him up on the road. I'm so hungry!" Anthony took Zhen Fan to pick a table and sat down.

Then he snapped his fingers at the old man at the counter and said, "Hey, old Jack, get this guy a pizza! He's starving, and two more absinthes. Damn weather, it's so sudden."

Old Jack came over with two cups, "popped" and "popped", and put them on the table, then looked at the young man, frowned and said, "Are you Asian?" When he entered the room , some of the snow on the young man's hair has been thrown off, revealing his black hair, coupled with his face, it is easy to recognize that he is an Asian.

"As far as I'm prepared, I'm a Chinese!" The young man smiled, "I have been in the United States for more than two years, but I am still too familiar with this place from time to time. I try to walk around, so...you are here Saw me!"

"I like Chinese!" Anthony Hughes said with a smile, "but you are the first Chinese I see, of course not on TV, but in front of me."

"Me too, although I don't hate Chinese people, but... I don't welcome them either!" Old Jack said, turned around and left, and he left without a trace of emotion. After taking two steps, he turned his head and looked at the Chinese. Zhen Fan, "Your pizza will be here soon, tell me, young man, are you planning to stop here?"

"Well, with such heavy snow, it seems that I can't go today, so... If there is a place to stay, I hope to stay here for one night, and then leave tomorrow!" The young man said and looked at Old Jack , "Can you stay here? Of course... the price can't be too expensive."

"You're lucky!" Old Jack snorted and left.

"Don't mind, he will be deeply wary of every stranger who comes to this town. This is the same as when he was robbed by two strangers ten years ago, and...he His wife also died in that robbery! So...you understand him!"

"Of course, I understand!" The young man nodded.

After Anthony Hughes finished speaking, he picked up a glass of wormwood, drank it down, and then said with a sigh of relief: "This wine is exciting, and I feel lazy all over. Relieve the cold! By the way, what's your name? Can you tell me?"

"Of course!" the young man said, "Bruce? Zhen!" After speaking, he lifted up the glass of wormwood and drank it down. This kind of high alcohol is very effective for chilling. After one cup, the cold in the body will be almost gone.

"Where are you going? Is there no purpose?" After having a drink, the two became familiar with each other. Anthony said to the young man, "This kind of weather really makes people afraid to go out."

"There is no purpose, I can go wherever I go, if the snow is too big, I can only stay here, maybe I should find a job, you know... the journey is long, so... I always Only by walking and working can I continue my journey." The young man gestured.

"I happen to be here alone tending my horses, and this year the damn bum, slacker and thief, did nothing and left with my two thousand dollars and a horse, so you see When it arrives, I have to do everything by myself, even delaying the entry of fodder, if possible, I hope you can stay and help me!"

The young man thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Very willing, but... I don't have a place to live, can I sleep in your warehouse?"

"You don't have to sleep in the warehouse. I have a utility room next to the warehouse. You can live there. Of course, you have to solve the problem of eating by yourself. I won't take care of that." Anthony said to the young man, " I can pay you fifty dollars a day!"

In this way, the monthly salary is about 1,500 US dollars, which is a relatively suitable price for a rookie, and it is not because of Bruce Zhen's Asian identity that there is discrimination.

"Let me think about it!" Bruce Zhen showed grateful eyes.

"After you finish eating, I hope you will have a decision!" Anthony Hughes nodded, snapped his fingers and said, "Jack, give me another drink, just one!"

Old Jack appeared with a plate of pizza and a glass of vermouth in his hand. After placing the wine glass on the table, he placed the plate containing the pizza in front of Bruce Zhen. The plate shook before it stabilized on the table.

"Jack, where is our little sparrow? Why didn't he come out to help you?" Anthony Hughes asked.

"She's helping Rosalie at home. It's snowing heavily today, and someone has to clear a way." Old Jack said and continued to go to the counter to wipe the glasses. At this time, the business was very deserted.

Bruce Zhen thought about it, then finished the pizza on the plate, put down the knife and fork, and then smiled contentedly on his face, and asked, "What's his daughter's name?"

"Rachel." Anthony asked, "how are you thinking? You know, now I need people to clean things up, please leave my house, and warehouses and hay, it's spring, and I don't have enough people, I need A helper, stay if you want, by the way, can you drive a tractor?"

"No problem!" Bruce Zhen nodded.

"Okay, I'll take it as your promise, I can't give you a contract, but don't worry, I won't pay you a dollar less, after drinking this cup, you can go back with me!" Anthony turned to Bruce Zhen Said.

"Okay, sir!" Bruce Zhen didn't object.

After finishing a glass of absinthe, Anthony stood up, walked to the counter, took out a few banknotes, paid the bill, and said to Old Jack: "From today on, this man is my hired worker, what's his name? Tell This old man!"

"Bruce? Zhen!" The young man told his name honestly.

"Hey, boy, I'm not interested in your name, but... I warn you, don't try to think of the girls here, or I won't let you go!" Old Jack stared at Bruce Zhen .

"Okay, let's go, there are still a lot of things to do, from now on, help me with the work!" Anthony said and patted Zhen Fan on the shoulder, and the two walked out of the bar one after the other .

"Why does Jack look at me with hostility? Is it because I am Chinese?" Bruce Zhen said from behind, "I can feel his unfriendliness towards me! I can still Come here for a drink?"

"Of course!" Anthony laughed, "Do you know why he is hostile to you? He is hostile to all the young people in this small town, because he is afraid that his daughter will be killed by young people like you." Seduction. Aha, let's be honest, never mind the old guy, being young is a very good thing."

"Oh, I see, thank you!" Bruce Zhen said, turning up his collar again, and following Anthony, who wrapped himself tightly and wore a hat, stepped into the wind and snow. (To be continued..)
