Lisco's American Life

It was a new day. After breakfast, Lisko rode his horse and inspected the pasture as usual.

During this period, David's report also made him pay more attention to the ranch. He walked around the ranch from time to time, hoping to find a better solution.

"Xu~"

A burst of cheers attracted Lisko's attention. He drove his horse forward and saw the cowboys gathered together.

It was only when I got closer that I saw clearly that there wasn't much going on in the ranch today, so everyone was playing. What they were playing now was a very traditional rodeo event, ax throwing.

This is a game that has been popular among lumberjacks and cowboys. A group of people gather together, hold their axes, aim at the target hung by a hemp rope in front of them, aim and throw it to see whose ax can hit the target.

The red dot in the center.

Before the development of firearms, this ax throwing attack was the main method used by cowboys to defend themselves against wild animal attacks.

In modern times, wandering has become an athletic event with superb cowboy skills.

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

Seeing such excitement, Liske also got off his horse and gathered around to watch everyone compete.

The person we are targeting now is David, he is a master at this game.

After taking aim, he held his breath, found a good angle, shouted, and threw the short-handled ax with a cold light in his hand.

"cool!"

The cowboys started shouting again and whistling for David's performance.

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

"good!"

Lisko also reached out and clapped. As soon as he spoke, the cowboys immediately noticed his figure, and the originally noisy environment instantly became silent.

"gentlemen."

Everyone nodded slightly and greeted Lisko.

"That's right, sir, there's not much going on today, so I'll arrange for everyone to play together."

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

Lisko waved his hand nonchalantly. He was not the kind of boss who was inconsiderate to his subordinates, and he also handed over the ranch to David for management.

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 used some force to pull out the ax stuck in it.

He aimed with one eye, then silently calculated the direction, exerted force on his wrist, and the ax came out of his hand.

Lisko watched as the rotating ax arrived in front of the target. The handle of the ax hit the target and then fell vertically to the ground.

Lisko was not ashamed. He didn't know how to play this in the first place. He stepped forward to pick it up again, returned to the position, repeated the action just now, then increased the force and threw it again.

"Bang!"

This time the ax luckily hit the target, stuck on it for a while, and then fell down again.

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

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

"Sir, you are already very good at this. You don't know that Jimmy almost threw his ax into the sky just now."

David saw that Lisko tried twice and seemed to have no results. He was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he quickly brought up Jimmy's embarrassing story just now to illustrate it.

"oh?"

Lisko saw David's purpose, but he didn't resent his way of patting the horse. He turned his head with interest and looked at Jimmy scratching his head and blushing with embarrassment.

"It's my first time too."

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

"Fortunately, I dodge quickly, otherwise I would have cut off my toes with your axe."

Eugene exaggeratedly described the scene just now, his expression was funny and exaggerated, and Jimmy had no choice but to step forward and apologize.

Lisko looked at everyone laughing and clapped his hands with a smile.

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

He waved and called David, and the two of them walked out of the crowd one after another and came to the lake nearby.

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

One, two, three, four, five.

The stones he threw bounced back and forth on the water, causing waves. Only on the fifth spin did they fail to resist gravity and sank into the lake.

"David."

Lisko turned around and shouted to the person in front of him.

"Here you are, sir."

David took a step forward.

"How is the acquisition of the ranch I told you about yesterday going?"

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

Speaking of this matter, David immediately cheered up and looked happy.

"The pasture in front is the pasture of little Lu En's family. After old Lu En passed away, he inherited the ranch, but he has no intention of running it. Now the ranch is almost abandoned. I went to take a look and saw that it was overgrown with weeds. If we take over

After that, we need to invest some money to renovate it.”

"Little Rune?"

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

"The one who opened a company in New York?"

"Yes, that's right."

Little Luen has the same name as his father, which is very common in the United States. People usually add the first name of two people according to their age to distinguish them.

Little Luen Lisko also remembered that he was a few years older than him. 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 himself

I opened a company, mainly engaged in moving business.

After his father's death, he had no intention of running the ranch, so the ranch was abandoned there.

"Their ranch is bigger than ours, a full 700 acres."

David's tone was filled with envy, thinking that his father did not leave him any inheritance, but little Luen accepted the gift from his father and actually left the ranch abandoned. In the eyes of a cowboy,

, but it is really an unforgivable waste.

"I heard that he also tried to run it for a short time, but as you know, this industry has been in decline in recent years, so he listed the ranch with a real estate agent and stopped asking about it. Some people came and asked a few times.

, but our economy here is not developed, and there is no good future for the ranch, so it has not been sold yet."

"This really comes naturally."

Lisko was also very happy with this result, which saved a lot of effort.

"I have contacted Luen and put forward a quotation. Our ranch has made profits in the past few years, so we are able to spend the money."
