Lisko’s American Life

"Lisko's American Life (

It was a new day, and Lisko finished his breakfast and, as usual, rode his horse and patrolled the ranch.

During this period of time, because of David's report, he also became more interested in the ranch, and wandered around the ranch from time to time, hoping to find a better solution.

"Appreciate~"

A roar caught Lisko's attention. He drove forward and saw the cowboys gathered.

When I got closer, I could see clearly, because there wasn't much to do on the ranch today, so everyone was playing, and they were now playing a very traditional rodeo, throwing axes.

This is a game that has always been circulated between lumberjacks and cowboys. A group of people gather around, hold their axes, aim at a target hung by a hemp rope in front of them, aim and throw them out to see who can hit the axe. The red dot in the center.

When firearms were not developed, this axe-throwing attack was the main means for cowboys to defend against wild animal attacks.

In modern times, it has become an athletic event with superb means of competition cowboys.

There are many cowboy competitions that use this activity as part of the competition.

Seeing so much excitement, Lisko also got off the horse and gathered around to watch everyone play.

It's David who's targeting now, and he's a master at this.

After he took aim, he held his breath, found a good angle, and with a shout, threw the hatchet with a cold glow in his hand.

"cool!"

The cowboys started shouting again, whistling for David's score.

Lisko looked at the target, and sure enough, the axe had hit the center.

"it is good!"

Lisko also stretched out his hand and applauded. As soon as he made a sound, the cowboys immediately discovered his figure, and the originally noisy environment instantly became silent.

"gentlemen."

Everyone nodded slightly and greeted Lisko.

"That's it, sir, there aren't so many things to do today, so I'll arrange for everyone to play together."

David was afraid that Lisko would reprimand everyone, after all, it was working time.

Lisko waved his hand nonchalantly. He was not the kind of boss who didn't care about his subordinates, and he also handed over the management of the ranch to David.

Seeing that Lisko didn't blame him, the cowboys breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, let me try."

Lisko walked to the front of the target and pulled the axe from it with a little force.

He aimed at it with one eye, then silently calculated the downward direction, and with a force of his wrist, the axe came out of his hand.

Lisko watched as the spinning axe arrived in front of the target, the handle hit the target, and then fell vertically to the ground.

Lisko wasn't embarrassed either, he didn't know how to play this in the first place, he went up to pick it up again, returned to his position again, repeated the action just now, then increased his force and threw it again.

"boom!"

This time the axe was lucky to hit the target, then stuck it on it for a while, and fell down again.

"Okay, okay, I really can't play this."

Lisko watched helplessly as he failed twice, and gave up the idea of ​​doing it again.

"Sir, you are already very good, you don't know, Jimmy almost threw the axe into the sky just now."

David watched Lisko try it twice, but he didn't seem to get any results. Afraid that he would be embarrassed, he quickly brought out the embarrassment of Jimmy just now to set off.

"Oh?"

Lisko could see David's purpose, but he didn't dislike his way of slapping horses. He turned his head with great interest and looked at Jimmy who was scratching his head and blushing beside him.

"It's my first time too."

Jimmy retorted in a voice not much louder than a mosquito, causing the cowboys to laugh.

"Fortunately I flashed fast, or I would have cut off my toes with your axe."

Onegin exaggeratedly described the scene just now, the whole person's expression was funny and exaggerated, and Jimmy had to apologize helplessly.

Lisko looked at everyone with a smile and clapped their hands.

"Okay, let's play, David, come here, I have something to do with you."

He beckoned and called David, and the two walked out of the crowd one after the other and came to the lake next to them.

Lisko picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the lake.

One, two, three, four, five.

The stones he threw bounced back and forth on the water, causing waves one by one. When he knew the fifth spin, he couldn't resist the gravity and sank into the lake.

"David."

Lisko turned his head and shouted at the person in front of him.

"Here, sir."

David stepped forward.

"How about the purchase of the ranch I told you about yesterday?"

"Sir, I was just about to report to you."

Speaking of this matter, David immediately lifted up his spirits with joy in his expression.

"The pasture in front is the pasture of the little Rune's family. Since the death of old Rune, he inherited the pasture, but he has no intention to manage it. Now the pasture is almost deserted. I went to take a general look. .com~ If we take over, we need to invest some money to renovate it.”

"Little Rune?"

Lisko narrowed his eyes and recalled the impression in his mind.

"The one with the company in New York?"

"Yes, that's right."

Little Rune has the same name as his father, which is very common in the United States. People generally add size in front of two people's names according to age to distinguish them.

Little Rune Lisko also remembered that he was a few years older than himself. After graduating from high school, he went to a community college and went to work in New York. When Lisko called his father before, he heard that he Opened a company, mainly doing moving business.

After his father passed away, he had no intention of running the ranch, so the ranch was abandoned there.

"Their ranch is bigger than ours, with seven hundred acres."

David's tone was filled with envy, thinking that his father left him no inheritance, and little Rune received a gift from his father, and actually left the ranch deserted, in the eyes of a cowboy. , is really an unforgivable waste.

"I heard that he also tried to operate for a short time, but you also know that the industry has not been very good in recent years, so he hung the ranch with the real estate agent and didn't bother to ask, and some people came to ask a few times. , but our economy is not developed here, and the ranch has no good way out, so it has not been sold yet.”

"It really came naturally."

Lisko is also very happy with the result, which saves a lot of effort.

"I have contacted Luen and made an offer. The profits of our ranch in the past few years are still in the account, so we can afford to spend this money."
