Li Du felt that the Bryan family was out of place in modern America. They didn't understand the slightest bit of professional common sense.
The whole of Riverdale was like that. The town was like an autistic person. It closed itself off and couldn't integrate into the mainstream society outside.
The Bryan brothers were the kind of Arizonans that existed in old Westerns on TV. They were stubborn, tough, paranoid, and strong.
However, they were not unreasonable and ungrateful people. Because Li Du had saved the child, the Bryan family's attitude towards them was much better.
Victor Bryan was not good with words. He sat there and didn't talk much. Most of the time, he observed Li Du and his group, his eyes sharp as knives.
Ken Bryan chatted with Li Du. When he learned that they were treasure hunters, Ken Bryan laughed and said that he had been in this business when he was young.
He shook his head and said, "Then we lost money. It was very stressful for us to survive in the city. Everyone was scheming against each other. I had no choice but to go back to the farm to help."
At this time, Victor Bryan interrupted and snorted, "City people are such b * stards. All they see is money. They will do anything for it!"
Li Du felt that he was a bit of a nationalistic youth. When it came to urban life and work, he would complain a little. Obviously, he didn't have a good impression of the city.
Ken Bryan laughed and said, "Like me, my brother also went to the city to work, but he was also cheated. He set up an engineering team, but it was ruined by a small trick."
Victor Bryan snorted and puffed on his pipe. Looking at the strength of his smoking, he was definitely angry.
At noon, the Bryan family entertained Li Du and his group. A pure farm meal was served on the table.
There was stewed veal with potatoes, charcoal grilled lamb chops, vegetable salad, fruit salad, fried chicken, black pepper beef, and some corn and wheat cakes.
Sophie took a breath and said happily, "It smells so good. Whose cooking is this? It's great. I haven't smelled such pure meat in a long time. "
Victor Bryan's face showed a trace of pride. He said, "This has nothing to do with cooking. The food here is all from our farm. There are no fertilizers, feed, or other chemical pollution. It's all natural food!"
The blonde girl ran out with a basket in her hand. She put on a cowboy hat and said cheerfully, "Hey, Dad, I'm going to bring food to Hans and Big Brother."
Hearing this, Li Du stood up and said, "Mr. Brian, can I go with your daughter?"
Victor Bryan nodded silently. The blonde girl smiled and said, "Then I'll have to bring more food. It's not enough for three men."
This girl always liked to smile brightly. Looking at her smile, Li Du could not help but feel better. This reminded him of a beautiful girl that he had not seen in a long time, Tina, who loved to smile.
After the blonde ponytail went out, she rode a horse as usual. She smiled and asked Li Du, "Do you know how to ride a horse?"
Li Du hesitated and then shook his head. He had learned to ride a horse before, but his riding skills were very poor. He had only ridden with Hans twice, and he was even worse than a novice driver.
"Then I'll take you." The blonde ponytail smiled gracefully. "I'm good at riding. I've been herding sheep since I was ten years old."
Li Du was not pretentious. After she changed into the double saddle, he mounted the horse and sat in the back. He asked, "You were herding sheep when you were ten years old? Didn't you go to school? "
The blonde ponytail shrugged and said, "I went, but I couldn't understand the things in the books. It seemed that I was too stupid. Someone told me that there was something wrong with my head. Anyway, I didn't like school. Dad later took me back to the farm and didn't let me continue to go to school. Let's go! "
The black horse stretched out its long limbs and galloped on the farm grass.
Li Du also noticed that the blonde ponytail seemed to be a little out of sorts. It was a feeling. She was a normal girl, but in some ways she seemed to be abnormal.
But if he were to elaborate, he could not tell what was wrong. It seemed that she was a little too honest and a little too innocent.
The horse galloped, and Hans, the big dog, wagged his tail happily behind.
Li Du looked back at it and felt that the dog was very much like its owner. There was also a strange innocence.
After galloping more than ten kilometers on the grass outside the town, the blonde ponytail rode the black horse around the edge of the woods, and a herd of strong Angus cattle appeared on the grass.
Under the shade of a tree, two men were leaning against the trunk and laughing. Li Du, who was sitting high up, saw Hans first.
Hans was different now. He was wearing thin jeans and a cowboy hat hung askew on his head. His skin was much rougher and a little red from the sun.
Hearing the sound of hooves, the two men stood up lazily. Li Du shrank and tried to hide behind the blonde ponytail, but he was too big to hide completely.
Hans saw him at a glance and laughed. "Aha, Li, my brother! F * ck, f * ck, f * ck! You came to me after all! "
The young man next to him asked curiously, "He's Li? You mean the Treasure Hunter Tycoon? "
"He's definitely a Treasure Hunter Tycoon," Hans said with a laugh. Hans laughed heartily. "He's truly a ruthless character. He's very famous in Arizona. He's undefeated in the entire state!"
The young man exclaimed, "Wow, amazing!"
The blonde ponytail jumped off the horse easily, took down the basket hanging on the horse's back, and said, "Guess, guess what's good for lunch today."
"I can't guess, but I'm drooling because I smell meat. There must be beef stew, right?" Hans said with a grin.
The blonde ponytail smiled brightly. "Beef stew with potatoes. I sprinkled rosemary, the rosemary we picked from Auntie Hillsborough's garden two days ago."
Li Du was much more flustered when he got off the horse. The black horse did not stop quietly. It was still strolling, and he was almost dragged away.
The big dog ran to Hans, puffing and sticking out its tongue. Hans poured some cold water from his canteen, and the big dog drank it happily.
Li Du said, "It seems that you two have a good relationship."
Hans laughed. "Of course, I love Barbara, and she knows I love her …"
"I mean you and the dog," Li Du added.
Hans laughed again. "Go away, haha!"
Seeing him smile like that, Li Du was relieved. Hans was smiling happily and easily. He did not look like a prisoner, but like a child who had just returned home.
The young man was a smart man. He waved to Barbara and said, "You two must have a lot to talk about. You talk first."
Barbara did not leave. "I want to hear what they have to say."
The young man smiled bitterly. "You have to give people privacy, dear."
"Big Hans said there can be no privacy between us. We are completely honest with each other," the blonde ponytail retorted.
Hans laughed. "Yes, that's it. No need to leave. Reese, let's talk together."
