Lisko’s American Life

After a good night's sleep, Lisko woke up according to his own biological clock. Looking at the bright weather, he shook his head helplessly, cleaned up his personal hygiene, and walked out of the castle.

When I came to the stable, I carefully selected the horses to be used later. After the original horses were infected with the virus last time, they were all disposed of by Payne. Although I was a little bit reluctant, but for the safety of everyone, I still did.

Not only the horses in the castle, but all the cowboy horses in the entire ranch have also been replaced, repurchased quarter horses.

After choosing and choosing, I really didn't know which one to ride, so I just casually led a chestnut-colored, majestic-looking horse out of the stable, and got on the horse.

These purchased horses were all bought from a ranch that specializes in domesticating horses, and they were trained to be very docile. After Lisko sat on them, the horses did not show any resistance, but just snorted.

"drive,"

Lisko raised the rein in his hand and sent a signal to the horse under him. The other party immediately understood, started pacing in a small range, and then ran, at an increasing speed.

His body was constantly rising and falling with the movement of the horse's spine. Feeling the sound of the wind blowing in his ears, his mood became much better. He ran directly to the foot of the mountain and paused to rest for a while.

He took out the water bottle he was carrying, drank a few sips of water, and fed the horse some carrots he brought from the stable before sitting on the ground and enjoying the sunshine.

This is also the reason why Lisko likes to stay in the ranch. Every time he comes back from the outside, as long as he rides a horse and gallops around his territory, he feels his energy regained in an instant, and all the troubles of the outside world are left behind. serenity.

Touching the tall pasture with my hands, the pasture in spring is growing vigorously, and it looks very gratifying. I believe that under the feeding of these pastures, the cattle will grow up quickly, and then the accounts of some dry pastures will continue to prosper stand up.

Feeling that his strength had recovered, Lisko stood up again and galloped towards the castle. He was able to ride his horse and run to his heart's content every morning, and he felt full of energy throughout the day.

"gentlemen."

When he returned to the castle, David was waiting at the gate of the ranch. It seemed that he had something to discuss. Lisko looked at his sweat-soaked shirt, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, motioned for the other party to wait, and then held his hands. He handed the reins to Payne, went upstairs alone, washed himself, changed into decent clothes, and returned to the living room.

"Okay, what's the matter?"

Lisko took the black tea handed over by the maid, and took a sip leisurely. His hair was still wet and draped over his shoulders in a mess, and he always had a lazy temperament.

"Sir, I just went to a nearby rancher's party and got some bad news."

David looked cautious, paused, and continued to speak.

"It's like this. Les next to us wants to sell his ranch and choose to move away from this place, but the target of the transaction is a group, and the purpose of the acquisition is to build a chemical plant here."

When Lisko heard about Les at the beginning, he was a little surprised. This person betrayed him. Although he graciously remembered his previous friendship and didn't bother to add insult to injury, it didn't mean he wanted to hear about the other party. .

Just hearing the second half of the sentence, the expression on his face froze instantly, chemical plant? How can this thing be built in Garrison? If it is built, the town itself is mostly ranchers. Facing a heavily polluted factory, the surrounding land may not be able to graze, and this is his hometown. , also began to be destroyed by pollution.

"What's everyone's opinion?"

Lisko was thinking about the consequences if he succeeded, and asked David.

"Everyone doesn't seem to have a good solution. They are going to gather together and hold a parade to protest this decision,"

David smiled wryly.

Lisko immediately arrived and was a little speechless, parade? This is really an American characteristic. Their biggest hobby is to go to the streets to hold demonstrations to protest this and that, but there are not many things that can be resolved in the end.

"Forget it, don't count on them,"

Lisko said with some disappointment. After all, these people don’t seem to have the ability to change things, and there is no better way to change them than to protest them.

"Our officials have all agreed? They clearly know that if this decision is passed, it will definitely have a great impact on Garrison's ranch industry, and we are still developing homestay and tourism projects, and it will all be in vain by then. gone."

Lisko looked at David curiously, and believed that those politicians would not be so short-sighted.

"The main reason is that the benefits of many of our pastures have declined last year, and the income from tourism just filled the loss. They don't receive much tax, but the chemical plant is different. Every year, a steady tax is handed over to the state. The government, they also hope to transform this place into an industrialized city that can absorb some factories and capitalists to attract employment and drive the economy, as for pollution, it is not within their scope of consideration.”

David said angrily, this kind of thing of exchanging the future for the present is completely intolerable for a ranch cowboy.

Lisko thought for a while, if he opened his mouth to buy Les's ranch, these things would not happen directly, but even though he didn't make trouble, there are some reasons for Les to be reduced to where he is today. It's not that he gave up Les, the other party may still make a difference in the political arena.

And the recent virus infection incident dealt a heavy blow to the other party. He did not have the courage of Lisko, and destroyed all of them at once in the early stage, eliminating the possibility of continued infection.

Les Ranch suffered heavy losses and was almost on the verge of bankruptcy. Faced with this predicament, it was understandable for the other party to choose to sell this ancestral property and redevelop it in another place.

Touching his chin helplessly, Lisko's mind turned rapidly, trying to find a better solution.

He intends to pass on this pasture to future generations, and he also wants his children to be able to run and grow up happily in this green pasture where the ancestors of the Li family lived.

If the chemical plant succeeds, all these will be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Lisko made up his mind that he must do his best to organize, so that the black-smoky factory could not be successfully established next to his pasture.

"Go find a relationship and see if Les is willing to sell it to us. If you buy it, our ranch will expand again. It is best to find other ranchers to buy it. We are only responsible for paying the money. I believe Les is also the same. As a rancher, if the price is right, he will definitely give priority to selling it to us."
