Lisco's American Life

"Is he out of his mind? What does this have to do with cocks?"

Lisko couldn't understand Colt's complaints.

"Who knows?" David shrugged helplessly.

The car quickly stopped at the ranch, and Lisko threw his luggage into the ranch. No one would take it here, and private territory was not allowed to be violated.

We continued riding in the car and rushed to Bo's ranch. Before the car stopped, Lisko jumped out.

"Maggie," Lisko got out of the car and saw Maggie sitting at the door wearing a scarf with red eyes.

"Li, you're back." Maggie wiped her tears. After all, she was an elder and could not embarrass herself in front of the younger ones.

Lisko looked at Maggie, who was much haggard, and stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms.

"Cry, it will feel better if you cry." He patted her shoulder.

Maggie finally couldn't help it anymore and started to cry loudly. She and Beau had always had the kind of relationship where they were happy enemies. Although the divorce agreement was signed, it never ended. Beau's departure really hit her hard.

Very big. In her imagination, she would return to her family and live a good life after the trip.

"Bo's body is so strong. He was carrying a calf into the pen by himself a few months ago. How could something like this happen all of a sudden?" Maggie's nose and tears flowed out together, but Lisko didn't think it was too big.

Ugly, he was also filled with sadness.

"Maggie, the deceased is gone. We have to deal with the aftermath well." Lisko wiped his tears and comforted her. She was the saddest among these people.

"Where's the cock?" Lisko took out a handkerchief to help her clean it and asked about the current situation.

"In the room, Colt just came over and had another quarrel with him." Maggie's expression was filled with unresolved sadness. Her eldest son and her youngest son had had several quarrels in the past few days because of this matter.

It made her already sad even more sad.

"Let me go and see. Can you take care of yourself?" Lisko supported her with concern and stared into her eyes.

"Go ahead and persuade the cock, it's not his fault."

Lisko went upstairs. The rooster had been living upstairs since he moved back to the pasture, because climbing up and down after the surgery was very tiring.

Opening the door, Rooster was sitting on the bed with a half-drunk bourbon next to him. He was holding his head and sobbing in pain.

"Hey, brother." Lisko stepped forward and patted him.

"I'm back."

Rooster raised his head, and when he saw Lisko, tears were already streaming down his face. Lisko had never seen him so fragile.

Beau has always believed that of his two sons, the one that resembles him most is Rooster. As for Colt, in his eyes, he will always be the naughty son with an unstable temper and no sense of responsibility.

So his will was for the rooster to inherit his ranch. He thought the rooster would be a good rancher. Although he was not good at expressing emotions, everyone could see that he was very satisfied with the rooster.

Moreover, Rooster has the deepest relationship with him. He has never left Garrison. After graduating from high school, he went directly to his family ranch and helped diligently until he went to Lisko Ranch. This son grew up under Bo's eyes.

Lisko stepped forward and hugged him, "Sorry, you are the eldest son. You have to prepare for Bo's funeral. Leave it to me at Colt's place."

"I wonder if if I had found him earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

"There is no what if, cock," Lisko pulled him up from sitting on the ground,

"Look at me," Rooster raised his head, a look of regret on his face.

"Rooster, you actually know that this is not your fault. You just want to find a reason to use it as your sustenance. Bo is getting older. We all don't want him to leave, but he is already gone. If you live in this world all day long,

He won't be happy in the regret he imagined."

Lisko stared into his eyes and comforted him.

"Cheer up, you still have Maggie here, don't make her more sad."

"I know." Rooster wiped away his tears.

"Be prepared and pick a day for us to see Bo off." Lisko patted him and went downstairs.

Colt Ranch has been built and moved in, so his house is not far away. Lisko can drive there in a few minutes.

"Colt."

Lisko got out of the car and called him in the pasture.

Goli came out from the window, "Lee, Colt is upstairs, I'm going to call him, he just came back,"

"Gori, you should go and accompany Maggie, are you right?" Lisko looked at her.

"Of course, I just came back and gave her some clothes. She didn't bring any clothes with her. Her body was a little cold from crying for too long." Goli held the coat in her hand.

"I'll go find him." Lisko walked upstairs by himself, and Goli also went out.

Lisko opened the door and Colt was holding a football and tossing it up and down.

"Did you quarrel with the rooster?" Lisko leaned against the door and looked at him with an expressionless face.

"right."

"Why?"

"I don't know, Li, I feel bad, I feel uncomfortable, and I get angry."

Lisko looked at Colt's expression with regret. After thinking about it, he loosened his fist. According to his idea, he came up and punched Colt hard in the face.

.

"You know? Among us, the one who can't accept Beau's departure the most is Rooster. You left home very early, and Maggie and Beau separated. For Rooster, Beau is the only family member around him.

They have always lived together."

Lisko sat down on the chair next to him.

"Your words may have been unintentional, but they brought infinite pain to Rooster. His heart was already sad. Because of your words, he blamed himself for Bo's departure."

Lisko looked at Colt, who had lowered his head, "But you know it yourself. Can you really blame Rooster for this? If you want to say so, I think everyone has to blame Maggie for leaving and not staying at home.

When it comes to him, I blame you for quarreling with him, but you can't blame the cock who has been taking care of him."

"I'm really a bastard." Colt covered his face in pain, tears flowing from the seams of his hands.

He kept enlightening himself, blaming all the anger on the cock, not knowing that he was the one who should be blamed the most. Lisko ripped off his fig leaf, which really made him feel that he was the biggest

asshole.

"Go and apologize to Rooster, and then take care of Beau's funeral. The deceased is gone."

Lisko left Colt's house and went straight back to the ranch. He took his clothes to the hotel in the town. The original plan was to come back after his house was repaired, but the plan could not keep up with the change. His house had just undergone four renovations.

Once in a while, I will have to find a place to live for a while in the next few days.

It was up to Rooster to take care of Bo's funeral affairs, including hiring a priest, choosing a cemetery, and notifying relatives. Lisko couldn't help because he didn't know any of Bo's relatives.

Lisko did not go to see Bo's body or his last face, because he did not want to see the most fragile old cowboy, so that Bo's influence on him would always be that stubborn and tenacious mountain.
