Alpine pasture

Chapter 585
In the afternoon, the two families returned to the seaside villa, while Wang Fan and Ju An went out to buy things by car, and planned to go out to sea tomorrow.

The two drove the car, went to a nearby big supermarket and bought a lot of things, and then drove directly to the house. As soon as they entered the house, they saw everyone sitting in the living room, watching TV around the TV.Dinah, Cora, parents and the whole family sat in front of the TV, and even Audrey, the strict butler, stood in front of the TV, covering his mouth and watching TV.
Teddy and others were all squatting in the room. On Monday, the others mingled around the coffee table, holding on to the edge of the coffee table, with their hind legs straightened and their small heads staring at the screen on the TV.I don't know what these animals are doing to join in the fun.

"What's the matter?" Ju An immediately asked Dana.Watching the TV screen, a large group of policemen flashed in front of the camera, and there was not even a single person in the street.

Every policeman is also armed with a gun, wearing body armor, and wearing a helmet.

Wang Fan then sat down and turned his head to ask: "What kind of bombing case is this?".

Cora turned to Wang Fan and explained, "It's not the bombing case, it's two bank robbers! Just after robbing the bank, I happened to meet a patrol car, thinking that the patrolling police found them, so they opened fire. One policeman was killed and one was injured, and they are fleeing now, and the police are preparing to round up."

As soon as Cora finished speaking, the sound of a gun battle came from the TV. When Ju An understood the name of the city below, she felt relieved. This city on the US-Mexico border is called Little Iraq in the United States, and the main residents are Hispanics. and blacks.If there is one day in a year when no gunshots are heard, it is considered to be Chinese New Year. As for small robberies and the like, it is pediatrics. It is estimated that less than half of the young people in this city belong to gangs. There are a lot of red gangs and blue gangs. Wife, the last time I heard about one, the police went in for more than half an hour and then came out lying down, because he was wearing a red jumper on the site of the blue gang.

The whole live broadcast lasted for more than an hour, and more and more policemen began to gather. At this time, there were no gangsters in the whole street, and even Ju An could see the National Guard in the line.He heard gunshots coming from the TV.

Not long after, the helicopter photographed in the sky captured the shadow of a person being shot, and then a car rushed out of the house and ran over the person who was shot.Following the gunshots, the car slammed into a wall on the side of the road not far away, and the entire front of the car was smashed into it.

Finally, the police announced that the robbers had been shot dead and declared the end of martial law.Then, suddenly, people appeared on the street again, and the police gradually withdrew. Only the reporters chattered about what happened to the camera. .

When Ju An saw this place, he had no interest. With the kung fu of fighting robbers, it would be great to sweep up the gangsters by the way. Those who are suspected would be arrested directly, and those who should be shut down should be sentenced. This cost taxpayers money. Once, the two robbers were killed and left.Sometimes, as people say, democracy is not efficient.

My mother watched it thrillingly and kept nagging, "It's really not safe here".Of course, Montana has never seen this before, it looks like a Hollywood blockbuster.In Nien's words, the case involving the largest amount of money in Montana is a divorce case, and he has been looking forward to a robbery for more than a year without a single one.When I arrived in California, I met a bank robber when I first arrived, and I was robbed last time. This is where criminals are concentrated.Same America, different life.

Now that the show is over, the two sitting families have also dispersed, so what to do, Ju An is going into the house to change clothes, when the phone number at home comes to mind, Audrey answers the phone, and talks for two days. He turned to Ju An and said, "Sir! Your phone number."

"Who?" Ju An was taken aback when he heard that, it's a bit strange that he can still get to the villa after calling his buddies.

Audrey held the receiver and said to Ju An, "Mr. Katzenberg is calling."Seeing Ju An continue to be dazed, Audrey explained, "He lives in the house over there."After speaking, he pointed with his hand.

oh!It was only then that Ju An remembered that an old Jewish man he met during vacation last year took two steps and took the phone from Audrey: "Hello! Katzenberg, long time no see."Immediately, he changed into a friendly tone, as if he was chatting with an old friend.

Katzenberg said with a smile on the other end: "I saw your plane at the airport, so I called and asked to see if you were coming."The old man also has a private jet, but it is smaller than Ju An's.

"I arrived yesterday afternoon, and I just brought my whole family here for vacation." Ju An touched the phone and pushed Wang Fan who was on the sofa to the side, and sat down on the sofa.

Katzenberg continued: "Then do you have any activities tonight, if not, come to my house."

Ju An thought for a while and there was nothing to do at night: "There are no activities at night, you are going to have a dance again."This old man is a person who enjoys life. According to last year's experience, he will not have two dances this week, and find someone to come to his house to have a good time. It is estimated that this old man is not feeling well.

"It's not a dance party, you can just come by yourself. I just learned a game that you Chinese play, mahjong! It just so happens that you are here, so I call you over tonight and let's play mahjong." Katzenberg said happily to Ju An explained.

I rely on!Dude, this is crazy, the Jewish old man asks his buddies to play mahjong, can you just learn the skills?Although my buddy is not very good at playing, he is definitely better than you, a foreigner who has just learned. I will not let you see what is Chinese today, and you will not improve your memory. Playing mahjong is actually called a Chinese partner: "That's okay! Then I'll go over after dinner."

"Then I'm looking for someone, and I'm missing someone," Katzenberg said.

Ju An glanced at Wang Fan who was boringly pressing the remote control beside him, and said to the phone: "I have one here, so don't look for it, I will take him with me when the time comes."

Katzenberg said excitedly: "That's good! Save me asking those who are not familiar with me."Then he told Ju An to arrive early and hung up the phone.

Watching Ju An put down the phone, Wang Fan asked, "What's the matter, are you still going to take me with you?".

"An old Jewish man is looking for someone to play mahjong. People who have just learned this game are addicted. Now they are looking for a partner. I recommend you to go with me." Ju An said with a smile.

Wang Fan rubbed his hands and said: "Your mahjong skills, play with me, isn't it a gift?"

Ju An chuckled twice: "Don't think about my brother's money, there are still two foreigners, let's win them then."Then the two of them glanced at each other and laughed.

Just after dinner in the evening, Ju An and Wang Fan talked with the family, and then they went to Katzenberg's villa together.

When they reached the door and rang the doorbell, the housekeeper opened the door and immediately said to Ju An and Wang Fan, "Please come in quickly, gentlemen! My husband will be waiting for you for a while."Ju An and Wang Fan glanced at each other, followed the housekeeper in, and immediately defined this Jew in their hearts. This novice wanted to send money like crazy.

Followed the housekeeper into the entertainment room of the old man's house, and saw an old man and a man in his 40s sitting beside an automatic mahjong machine, who were also residents of the community. I opened the cover, and it said how to play mahjong well.

Ju An secretly smiled inwardly, it's too late to see if this is a temporary crutch.Seeing Ju An coming in, Katzenberg put down his book and stood up happily. Ju An introduced Wang Fan to the two of them, and everyone chatted a little before starting the war.

After throwing the dice, Ju An started to touch the cards, and he was lucky. Katzenberg threw a three of a kind for the three-on-one draw.

Ju An immediately shouted: "Bump!".I just wanted to reach out and take the three pieces thrown by Katzenberg in front of me.Who knows that Katzenberg immediately stopped at this time: "This does not comply with the rules!".

Ju An and Wang Fan stared at each other. Is there anyone who can play mahjong without touch?Then the two looked at Katzenberg curiously.

The old man snapped his fingers at the servant standing behind the card table, and the servant handed the old man the book just now. He didn't look at anything else but looked at the old man's expression. I thought it was God of Gamblers.

The old man opened the book and said to Ju An and Wang Fan, "You can't touch this mahjong, you can only...".Listening to the old man explaining the rules, it made Ju An and Wang Fan's heads big, this can't be touched, can't be eaten, and there is no bar, how can this thing be played.

After listening to the old man finished speaking, Ju An took the book from the old man's hand, and then looked at it by himself, how to play mahjong well, there is a small note below, compiled by the American Mahjong Association!Nima!What is compiled by the Bird Association of America?After turning it over a few times, Ju An's head grew bigger. As a Chinese who has been exposed to the quintessence of mahjong since childhood, he can't play mahjong anymore when he goes to the United States.

"This is the standard American Mahjong Association gameplay. The United States will change the gameplay every two years, and then the association will publish a book, which can be purchased by all American Mahjong Association members, which means that each time the Mahjong Association updates the rules for only two years. Validity period" Katzenberg pointed to the book and said: "Today we will follow the new rules."

What can Ju An and Wang Fan say? They can only listen to the rules introduced by the Jewish old man, and then play this thing according to the rules of the so-called nonsense American Mahjong Association. After getting familiar with the rules, the two old Americans will not The opponent is gone, Wang Fan has won the most times, so he still has a bitter face, why?It's not gambling. It doesn't bring any prizes. Today, the two of them are here to accompany the Jewish old man to cultivate their sentiments.

After ten o'clock, Ju An and Wang Fan came out of the old man's house under the pretext of going back to rest. As soon as they got home, they searched the Internet for American Mahjong Association. There are 70 million people in the United States who have joined the Mahjong Association. Lovers make money by selling rules books. They update every two years and sell them every two years. This is a good business.

"Damn! Next time the Americans ask me to play mahjong, I won't go," Wang Fan said to Ju An.Ju An beside him nodded empathetically.
