Lisco's American Life
Chapter 1 The Town
2006.Colorado.
Lisko was drunk for three days after handling his father's funeral. Now he had a splitting headache. After taking a few sips of coffee, he rubbed his temples and lay in front of his fireplace, meditating.
"Destiny is really unpredictable." The sunlight passed through the gap in the window sill and fell on his fair face. His flaxen hair stood messy, with a few playful strands sticking up.
.He walked out of bed. He was 1.8 meters tall and had six-pack abs on his abdomen. He opened the door and went to the bathroom. His bladder, which had been held all night, was suddenly released.
"It's comfortable~" He squinted his eyes, thought smartly, and came to the mirror. His face was as clear-cut as a sculpture, angular, and unusually handsome. He looked unrestrained on the outside, but his eyes inadvertently revealed
Her dazzling beauty makes people dare not look down upon her. Under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows is a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, which are full of amorous feelings, which will make people fall into them if they are not careful. Her tall nose and moderately thick red lips are rippling at this moment.
With a dazzling smile.
"Who would have thought that a fat old guy like me could be reincarnated into a star?"
He rubbed his face and recalled his experience.
It has been half a month since he came to this world. Yes, our Lisko is a time traveler. Before he time traveled, he was a small screenwriter at a domestic film and television company. He didn't know the reason for the time travel, so he just assumed it was some unknown being who started the time travel.
It's a little joke. Anyway, before time travel, he only knew how to stay at home and code words. He had no parents or friends. There was nothing worse, right?
He is quite satisfied with his current situation. His great-grandfather is Chinese and his grandfather is of mixed Chinese and Jewish descent. He is a 22-year-old graduate of Yale University and a professional writer. After graduation, he published two books. The first one is "Blood Road".
One book, which describes the events of Chinese workers going to the United States to build railroads in 1865, won the American Book Critics Circle Award. The second book, "Red Diamond", which described the blood and tears of diamond workers, was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature, narrowly losing out to a German writer.
, is called "the leading figure in American youth literature" by the media. He is simply a winner in life.
His ancestors ran ranches in Colorado. His great-grandfather Li Duo smuggled here and used his life savings to buy a small ranch of 100 acres. After several generations of hard work, it was expanded to 3,000 acres. His great-grandfather and great-grandmother passed away early due to poor health.
His mother also passed away not long after he was born. During the financial crisis not long ago, his father went bankrupt and was forced to sell the ancestral "Lee Ranch". Not long after, his father died in depression. Lisko finished handling his father's affairs.
I'm thinking about my own way out.
Yesterday, the lawyer had read his father's will. What he missed most before his death was his family ranch. Lisko had entrusted the lawyer to buy it at a premium, and he thought it would be settled soon.
The two books published by Lisko brought him not only great fame, but also huge income. Now his net worth has reached over 100 million U.S. dollars. After a few days of running-in, his memories and those of his original body have been integrated.
, but after all, he was a Chinese who had never been abroad in his previous life, and all his habits were incompatible with his previous life. In order to avoid friends and colleagues seeing the flaws, he decided to move back to his family ranch to complete his father's story.
Secondly, his work can be done anywhere. There will be no one to disturb him in the pasture, which is more suitable for writing.
After traveling through time, Lisko discovered that his memory was like a fish jumping out of a fish tank and swimming to the sea. He could even recall being bitten by a neighbor girl when he was seven months old in his previous life. Regarding the American script he later studied for work
, novels, movies and TV dramas, the writer clearly remembers it, and found that some famous works and classic literature in the modern history of this world have disappeared. He does not have much doubt about this. After all, every time traveler is loved by the world.
He got up, put on a slender windbreaker, and walked out of the hotel. Garrison is a small town in the Grand Junction area. His ancestors have settled here for almost two hundred years. He also spent his childhood here.
, until he went to New York for high school, and he hasn’t come back for eight or nine years now.
"Hey, Mark Twain,"
"Hey, Uncle Dale"
Dale is the town's veterinarian. He and Lisko's father are playmates who grew up together. Since Lisko returned to the town, everyone has called him Mark Twain, mainly because the cowboys are not interested in reading. They know
The most powerful writer is Mark Twain.
"You know, Sco, I'm sorry for Temu's death. We are very good brothers, but, Sco, we should look forward. What dies passes away."
Lisko was silent for a while,
"I understand, Dale, I decided to buy back the property and settle in Garrison. I have begun acquiring the Lee Ranch, which of course is now called Damn Pony Molly's Ranch."
"Sco, you are the most powerful person to come out of Colorado since Nikola Tesla and Reagan. I mean you are from Garrison. This is your hometown and we will support you.
"
"Thanks, Dale, I'm going to Maggie's, do you want a drink?"
"No, I won't go. The stingy Bo's calf is sick again. Damn it, he never refused to spend 20 dollars to inject that calf with vitamins." Lisko patted his shoulder and waved goodbye.
Opening the door, there was a burst of laughter in the bar, and Lisko walked to the bar, "Maggie." "Wow, Mark Twain, Lisko, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are great now."
After the two hugged, they sat down separately. Maggie is the wife of the farmer Bo, and now she runs the only bar in the town. Lisko lost his mother when he was young, and the only maternal love he felt was from Maggie.
"Lisko, you were busy on the day of the funeral and didn't have time to say hello. How are you now?"
Maggie poured a glass of whiskey and wiped the glass,
"I'm fine. How are you doing lately? Are you still like that with Bo?"
"You know, it's still the same. Bo and your father reconciled. On the night your father sold the ranch, they got very drunk. They quarreled because of their different views on the Vietnam War, and they didn't communicate with each other for decades. But Scott
, I never saw it before. Of course, I mean you have always been excellent, but I was shocked when I saw you being interviewed on TV. I never thought you would be so outstanding. That day, the bar was full of people.
You cheer and they call you Son of Garrison."
Lisko smiled. Although the memory had been merged, he still felt a little strange, as if she was talking about another person, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.
"Where's Colt, where have he been lately?"
"The last time I heard about him was that he was playing in the Canadian league, and then I heard that he was fired. Anyway, it's been like this for so many years, and Bo and I have gotten used to it."
Bo is a rancher in a small town. He is an authentic old cowboy with a resolute character and a stern smile. His ranch is just a little bigger than Lisko. His eldest son Rooster follows him to manage the ranch, and Maggie
It's his wife. The two have been separated for four or five years. His second son is a rugby player, playing in a third-tier club, and he hasn't been back for many years.
After Lisko drank a glass of wine, he received a call from a lawyer and redeemed the Lee Ranch for seven million U.S. dollars. Lisko found a service company to manage the cleanup and renovation of the farm, and at the same time entrusted a lawyer to handle the New York
Some fixed assets invested soon came to the next day.
Lisko got up early, had breakfast casually, and then took out two bottles of Jack Daniel's whiskey from the luggage he brought back, which were given to him by his agent when he was nominated for the Nobel Prize.
Jack Daniel's, one of the oldest liquor manufacturers in the United States and a top whiskey brand, is brewed from rye, corn, and malt. Since it is stored in carbonized white oak barrels, you will smell something like paint after opening the bottle.
The barrel aroma. As for the taste, Jack Daniel's is on the heavy side, and many people like to mix it with cola to drink it to temper the original heavy taste.
Lisko took out the gift box, wrapped it, and tied it with a beautiful tie.
He walked downstairs and chose a Chevy pickup truck in the garage. Beau was an old-fashioned farmer, serious, and could never get used to other cars. His cowboy mentality made him think that other cars were flimsy cars for girls.
