Lisco's American Life

The next day, Lisko packed up his hunting items early, wearing a jacket, tied trouser legs, handmade cowhide boots bought from the town, a Reston on his back, a revolver in his waist, and a Swiss gaiter.

sig special dagger.

Picking up the luggage bag, which contained some emergency medicine and serum, as well as some compressed biscuits and stainless steel water bottles, he was prepared to return empty-handed without food. This had happened many times in his past experience.

.

When Lisko went out, he met Rooster and Colt, who were also fully armed. Everyone laughed when they saw that they all had the same bulge.

"Rooster, you go and drive the pickup truck."

The three of them got into the car and quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"Huh~" Colt stretched out his arms, "I haven't hunted in a long time."

"Then you have to take aim later, maybe you will be at the bottom this time." Rooster teased.

"No, there is Lisko. I think I am better than someone who sits at a desk and writes every day."

Lisko smiled and said, "I often go to the gun club to practice shooting."

The three people walked into the woods noisily and soon reached their destination.

There are two wooden houses standing in the woods. They were built a long time ago by Bo and Lisko's father, two hunting enthusiasts. This is also the favorite place for the three Liskos in their childhood.

"This place was collapsed by a wild boar last year, so I found wooden planks and rebuilt it." The rooster proudly took credit.

The three of them gathered firewood and lit the fire in the house with hot water.

Colt climbed to the roof to observe as before and set up his gun. "Bo's telescope is still so easy to use." He held a telescope with many scratches on it, and the green paint on the edge had been worn away a lot. This was Bo's telescope.

Souvenirs brought back from the army.

Lisko and Rooster stayed in a room, set up guns in the room, and each ate a pack of compressed biscuits.

Not long after, the signal came, and Colt knocked on the eaves.

The three of them looked forward intently, and saw a group of wild ducks waddling out of the jungle.

"Bang, bang bang bang"

Colt fired first, knocking down the leading mallard. Lisko and Rooster, who were behind, also took out their pistols and shot.

After a burst of shooting, a patch of wild ducks fell on the ground.

"Whoever hits the most is definitely me."

Colt jumped off the roof, holding a gun and shouting proudly.

"It must be me. You didn't hit anything except the first shot." Rooster curled his lips disdainfully.

Lisko looked at the two arguing in a funny way.

"Pack one and bake it. I'm a little hungry."

Colt pulled out the saber from his trouser leg, picked up one and headed to the waterside. Lisko and Rooster were collecting the killed wild ducks, tying them all up and throwing them into bags, waiting to go back and distribute the prey.

We haven't seen each other for many years, and Colt's craftsmanship hasn't lost anything. The duck was cleaned up, and the rooster took it. He stabbed the duck a few times with a knife, rubbed it with salt and spices, and wrapped it in large leaves.

Smeared some mud on it and threw it into the stove.

The three of them were waiting for the delicious food in front of the stove while reminiscing about the past.

Suddenly, the rooster stopped laughing, listened attentively, and immediately grabbed the gun.

Lisko and Colt also quickly changed their expressions.

"Huh~huh~"

The sound got closer and closer, and they all recognized it as the sound of a wild boar, and all three guns aimed at the source of the sound.

The weeds in the woods were moving, and soon their heads popped up. A wild boar as big as an adult's waist poked its head out with its tusks.

The rooster took a deep breath. Although this is a mountain, due to more and more people hunting in recent years, large prey like this are basically rare. Most of the harvest of the three of them before was wild ducks and pheasants.

For some hares, the largest prey is no more than a four-horned elk.

The three of Lisko held their breath and looked at the wild boar getting closer and closer.

"Take the lead." Lisko shouted first and pulled the trigger of the shotgun first.

The three of them kept firing forward.

"Bang bang bang,"

Lisko fired all the bullets in the gun at once, looked at the motionless wild boar, and stopped the two people who were loading.

"Dead."

The three of them watched for a while and found that the wild boar's head was covered with bullet holes, and blood was flowing all over the body.

"Huh~" The hands of the three of them were trembling a little, and they were breathing heavily. Rooster struggled to take out a few cans of beer from his backpack. The three of them opened and clinked their glasses and took a few gulps.

"Hahaha," they both laughed heartily as they looked at each other's embarrassment wet with sweat.

"This broke our hunting record. We actually killed a wild boar."

Colt was so excited that the three of them calmed down and ran to see the wild boars.

The black hair was like steel needles, and the body was covered with thick mud. Fortunately, the three of them shot at the head, otherwise the wild boar would not have died so easily after hitting the mud body. Looking at the body shape, this

A wild boar weighs at least 200 kilograms.

After receiving enough goods, the three of them had no intention of continuing here. At the same time, they were also afraid that the blood on the ground would attract the wolves, so the rooster tied up the limbs of the wild boar with the rope he carried.

The three of them found thick wooden sticks to pick up the wild boar, put out the fire, and walked down the mountain. They gasped from exhaustion halfway through.

"Otherwise, we chop off the pig's head and limbs and throw away the rest. This wild boar is too big for us to carry down the mountain."

The two of them thought about it and agreed to the proposal. Bringing the pig's head satisfied their desire to show off, and bringing the limbs also allowed them to taste the meat.

The three people who reached an agreement quickly finished cleaning up. They refused Lisko who wanted to share the meat with them and collected two fangs for collection.

After returning home and changing out of his sweat-wet clothes, Lisko soaked the wild boar tusks in hot water in the kitchen and scrubbed the surface with white vinegar. Soon the two tusks were as white as new.

Lisko wiped it clean with a paper towel and put it in the display cabinet in the study.

As soon as he sat down to rest, the phone rang. As soon as Liske saw the call, he knew it was his long-winded agent.

"Li, how are you doing today?"

Lisko rolled his eyes, "Everything would be fine without your call."

"Haha, okay, I know you are annoyed by this sentence, but I still have to ask, how is the new book? The editors at Random House have been blocking the door of my office recently. They have issued a royalty of 18 for this book.

%,"

Lisko thought about it for a while. This royalty rate is considered good in the American literary and art world. New writers often only get 5%. Lisko has been working well with them in recent years, and Langdon's boss is an old friend of his mentor.

The agent, Lu Bo, was introduced by his senior brother who is a columnist. We have worked together for several years without any mistakes. He is also a very nice person and takes good care of Lisko.

"Rubo, let's do it tomorrow. I just finished and I want to check it again."

"Really, it's great. I immediately informed the publisher to prepare. They have already prepared the cover and promotional posters."

Lisko put the phone away from him with some disgust. Lubo was over forty this year and had made a lot of money with Lisko in recent years, but his personality was still the same.

Lisko turned on the computer and flipped through the completed manuscript and checked it over. Emil also received the novel cover from Lu Bo.

A hooded boy stands facing away in a golden wheat field, and the sky is painted blue. Generally speaking, this cover is in line with Lisko's aesthetic.

"Rubo, the cover is great. The manuscript will be mailed to you tomorrow."

Lisko replied to the email and went to the kitchen. Jasmine had been busy with the ranch these days. She had asked Lisko beforehand if she wanted to come back to cook dinner. Lisko felt that it had been a busy day and asked her to rest and dug out the

Condiments bought in Chinatown.

I took a crucian carp from the side. It was fished from the lake in the ranch. The cowboys originally took it and threw it away, but Lisko asked for it.

Heat the oil, add the onion, ginger and garlic, and cook for a while. Put the processed fish into the oil pan and fry both sides. Add water and bring to a boil. The fish soup will be white.

After simmering the fish soup for an hour, it is already a milky white fish soup. The noodles are machine-pressed noodles that I bought in Chinatown. Liske was a northerner in his previous life and loved to eat noodles. This fish soup noodles was his previous one.

His girlfriend taught him how to make it. After trying it a few times, he liked it very much. The noodles are delicious with the fish soup.

The noodles were slowly cooked, so Lisko added some green vegetables and cut a few sections of red pepper. This pot looked very nice, with red peppers, white fish soup, and green vegetables.

Lisko turned off the fire and tasted the long-lost taste, and couldn't stop crying.
