Lisko’s American Life

"McGonagall, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you behind, and I don't know what's wrong with me, I just, just," Willow stood next to Lisko, looking at Mag who turned her head away from her, her small eyes were wide open. Some flushed.

"It's okay, Vivienne, Mag won't be angry, but remember not to do this next time, Mag is the kind of dog who loves you the most." Lisko squatted down and stroked Willow's hair, reassuring looking at little girl.

"I definitely won't, I'm sorry, Mag." Willow held back the tears she wanted to fall.

"Will it hurt? Can I blow on it? Sometimes I bump into something. Mom can blow on it. It's very useful." After Willow finished speaking, she picked up the microphone carefully. Grid's paws, exhaling lightly, with a serious expression.

Lisko didn't interrupt her. Children grow up making mistakes constantly. I believe she won't be so fond of the new and dislike the old next time. Of course, I don't blame Willow, it's the nature of children.

I remember Lisko chatted with a father and colleague who had just given birth to a daughter in his previous life.

At that time, he asked curiously, "Would you beat a child if she made a mistake?"

He answered confidently, "Children make mistakes, how can they grow up without education?"

"Then your daughter made a mistake and you want to beat her?"

"Why did you hit her?" His expression changed at that time, "Children don't make mistakes, it's the little ups and downs of growing up."

Well, it's an old double standard from the very beginning.

Lisko handed the comforting Mag to Willow, and watched her smile again.

Walking into the cowboy dormitory, Lisko took a look at the environment. It was much better than the last time he came. Sure enough, it was the tough demands on these bachelors that the improvement would be made.

A few pots of green plants are placed on the table in the middle, adding a touch of green to the monotonous dormitory. Everyone’s clothes are hung up regularly. The leisure cowboys are resting, and a few are sitting together playing cowboy poker .

Lisko walked inside and saw that Hammer had laid a layer of felt on the ground, and he was sitting on it, carving with a knife, surrounded by sawdust, and Lisko could vaguely see that it was a human figure.

"Your craftsmanship is very good, what is this sculpture?"

Lisko didn't mind either - there was rubbish next to him, so he sat down and looked at Hammer with interest.

Hammer heard the sound and looked up.

"Sir." He greeted.

He bowed his head respectfully before replying to Lisko's question.

"This is a knight of the Eastern Expedition Army on horseback, and it is just beginning now."

Hammer is an old cowboy. He has been a cowboy since he was in his twenties. It is closely related to the ranch. In the past, even from father to son, two generations worked on the same ranch, so Hammer inherited the habits of his cowboy father and always respected the rancher who paid him a salary.

"I like to carve these knights. I am a person who worships knights. A large part of the reason why I make cowboys is because of this." Seeing that Lisko was very interested, Hammer also began to show Liskoe his own works.

He pulled a backpack off the bed, unzipped it, and took it out one by one.

"Dion de Beaumont, because the gender is not clear in history, has been controversial, so I put a mask on the sculpture, but you see, I also highlight the softness of women around his waist." Hammer used The calloused palm pointed to Lisko and introduced him.

Lisko observed Xiangxiang carefully. This statue is about the size of a palm, and the carving is lifelike. The hair has a special outline.

If at the beginning, Lisko's praise was just a polite one, but now it is really amazing. He doesn't know the artistry and craftsmanship of this kind of work. In the eyes of a layman like him, he really can't see any faults, and it is a first-class boutique.

"Hammer, you are really surprising." Lisko took the statue and stroked it gently with his hands. It is oily, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant. The intercellular structure is uniform and dense, but the wood is mild so it is not easy to crack and deform. Fine grain, easy processing, strong toughness.

The material of this sculpture should be basswood, which is common in the United States, and it is also a cheap and common carving material.

Lisko touched the smooth and soft appearance, and liked this kind of work very much.

"If you have time, you can make one for me. I think your craftsmanship is great."

Hammer readily agreed. He has always regarded this as a hobby. After he sculpts, he plays with himself and doesn't like to be seen by others. Therefore, he has a lot of his previous works in his collection, including various knight carvings. The five great knights were carved out one by one by him according to the characteristics he checked.

Li Ke found a picture on his mobile phone. He saw a picture uploaded by a netizen before. It was a painting.

The content is a topless fisherman whose face cannot be seen, stepping on the body of a whale, and the waves are surging under the whale.

"Can this be done?" Lisko liked the picture very much when he saw it at the time, but he couldn't tell what he liked and why he liked it.

Some things are just like this, you don’t know what it’s useful for or what it means, but when you see it, you want to keep it in your pocket.

Hammer leaned on his chin and looked at the picture up and down several times, his hands still turning in the air, thinking about the direction of the knife, and nodded after a long while.

"Yes. But it will take some time."

Lisko received an affirmative answer, and he didn't mind waiting for a few days.

"It's okay, take your time, I'll put it in the library of my new house when the time comes."

Arranged for him to remember to paint, Lisko left the dormitory. He planned to see Les, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, and inquired about his motorcycle. When he saw someone riding it today, he seemed to meet the toy he wanted. , My heart has been itchy.

Les's ranch was not close, and Lisko didn't bother to drive, so he got on his white horse and galloped away.

The feeling of riding a horse is still great. Thanks to my vision, I can see scenery in the distance that I couldn't see before.

Soon we arrived at the French-style gate of Leys Ranch.

Of course, the passing cowboy at the door knew the well-known and famous writer nearby, so he let it go without stopping him.

Lisko's own ranch also didn't have a gatekeeper. Most people wouldn't run in by themselves. Anyone who visited would call ahead to make an appointment.

David of Li’s Ranch is in charge of the ranch, and Lisko just takes control of the ranch. Although he promised to focus on the ranch, David has done a good job. Lisko doesn’t need to worry about many things, so he has a lot of free time. .

The phrase "the superiors work their minds" has always been right in Lisko's opinion. Trusting others can make your life much smoother.
