Lisko’s American Life

2006. Colorado.

Lisko was drunk for three days after handling his father's funeral, and now he has a splitting headache. After taking a few sips of coffee, he rubbed his temples and lay in front of his fireplace in thought.

"Fate, it's really unpredictable." The sunlight passed through the gap of the window sill and sprinkled on his fair side face. A head of flaxen hair stood in a mess, and a few witty strands curled up. . He got out of the bed, with a height of 1.8 meters and a gleaming six-pack abs, opened the door, went to the bathroom, and released the bladder that had been pent up all night.

"It's comfortable~" He squinted his eyes, shivered smartly, and came to the mirror. His face was as carved as a sculpture, with distinct features, sharp and angular, and extremely handsome. Looks like wild, but the casual revealing eyes can not be underestimated. Under a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows is a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, full of passion, which makes people fall into it if they are not careful. With a tall nose and moderately thick red lips, there was a dazzling smile.

"Who would have thought that I, an old fat man in a dead house, could actually be reborn as a star?"

He rubbed his face, recalling his experience.

It has been half a month since he came to this world. That’s right, our Lisko is a time-traveler. He was a screenwriter for a domestic film and television company before time-traveling. He didn’t know the reason for the time-traveling. Just a little joke, anyway, before he crossed, he only knew how to code at home, with no parents or friends, there is no worse situation, right?

He is quite satisfied with his current situation. His great-grandfather is Chinese, and his grandfather is of Chinese-Jewish mixed race. He is a 22-year-old graduate of Yale University and a professional writer. After graduation, he published two books. The first book "Blood Road" is A book describing the incident of Chinese workers going to the United States to repair the railway in 1865 won the "American Book Critics Award". The second book "Red Diamond" describes the history of blood and tears of diamond workers. It was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature, but lost to German writers. It was called "the leader of American youth literature" by the media. Simply a winner in life.

His grandparents ran ranches in Colorado. His great-grandfather Li Duo smuggled here and bought a small ranch of 100 mu with his life savings. After several generations of hard work, it was expanded to 3,000 mu. Great-grandfather and great-grandmother passed away early due to poor health, and Lisko's mother also died shortly after his birth. In the recent financial crisis, his father went bankrupt and was forced to sell his ancestral "Li's Ranch". Not long after, his father died in depression. After dealing with his father's funeral, Lisko was also thinking about his own way out.

Yesterday, the lawyer had read his father's will. Before he died, what he missed the most was his family's ranch. Lisko had already entrusted a lawyer to buy it at a premium, and it would be settled soon.

The two books published by Lisko not only brought him a lot of fame, but also brought him a lot of income. Now his net worth has reached over 100 million US dollars. After a few days of running-in, his memory has merged with the original body, but he was a Chinese who had never been abroad in his previous life, and all his habits were incompatible with the previous one. In order to move back to his own ranch to live, firstly, to fulfill his father’s orders, secondly, his work can be done anywhere, and no one will disturb him on the ranch, which is more suitable for writing.

After time travel, Lisko discovered that his memory was like a fish jumping out of a fishbowl and swimming towards the sea. He could even recall the incident when he was bitten by a neighbor’s little girl when he was seven months old in his previous life. , novels, and film and television dramas are clearly remembered, and found that some classics and classics in the modern history of the world have disappeared. He has no doubts about this, after all, every traveler is loved by the world.

He got up, put on a slender windbreaker, and walked out of the hotel. Garrison Town is a small town in the Grand Junction District, where his ancestors have settled for nearly two hundred years. He also spent his childhood here until he went to New York to study in high school, and he has not been back for eight or nine years.

"Hey, Mark Twain,"

"Hey Uncle Dale"

Dale is the veterinarian in the town. He and Lisko’s father were playmates who grew up together. Since Lisko came back to the town, everyone called him Mark Twain. The main reason is that the cowboys are not interested in reading, they know The most powerful writer in the world is Mark Twain.

"You know, Sko, I'm so sorry about Tem's passing, we were good brothers, but, Sko, we should move on and let the dead die."

Lisko was silent for a while,

"I understand, Dale. I've decided to buy back the farm and settle in Garrison. I've already begun to buy Lee's Ranch. Of course it's now called the Ranch of Damn Molly the Pony."

"Sco, you're the best guy we've had in Colorado since Nikola Tesla, Reagan, I mean you're us Garrison, this is your hometown, we'll support you. "

"Thanks, Dale, I'm going to Maggie's, would you like a drink?"

"No, I won't go, the stingy Bo's calf is sick again, damn it, he never paid $20 for vitamin injections for that calf." Lisko patted him on the shoulder and waved goodbye.

Pushing open the door, there was laughter in the bar, and Lisko walked towards the bar, "Maggie." "Wow, Mark Twain, Lisko, long time no see, you are great now."

After the two embraced, they sat down separately. Maggie is the wife of the farm owner Bo, and now she runs the only bar in the town. Lisko lost his mother since he was a child, and the only little maternal love he felt was from Maggie.

"Lisko, you were busy on the day of the funeral and didn't have time to say hello. How are you doing now?"

Maggie poured a glass of whiskey, wiped the glass,

"I'm fine. How are you doing? Is it still the same with Bo?"

"You know, it's still the same. Beau reconciled with your father. On the night your father sold the ranch, they got very drunk, and they quarreled because of their different views on the Vietnam War. They haven't communicated for decades. But Scott , I didn't see it before, of course, I mean you have always been excellent, but I was shocked when I saw you being interviewed on TV. I never thought you would be so good. That day the bar was full of artificial You cheer, they call you Son of Garrison."

Lisko smiled, although the memory had already merged, he still felt a little strange, as if she was talking about another person, and there was no fluctuation in his heart.

"Where is Colt, where is he recently?"

"The last time I heard about him was that he played in the league in Canada, and then I heard that he was fired. Anyway, it has been like this for so many years, and Bo and I are used to it."

Bo is a rancher in a small town, an authentic old cowboy with a resolute personality and no smiles. His ranch is just a little bigger than Lisco. His eldest son, Rooster, ran the ranch with him, and Maggie was his wife. The two have been separated for four or five years. His second son is a rugby player who plays for a third-tier club and has not been back for many years.

After Lisko finished drinking a glass of wine, he received a call from the lawyer and redeemed Li's Ranch for seven million dollars. Lisko found a service company to manage the cleaning and renovation of the farm. At the same time, he entrusted a lawyer to dispose of some fixed assets invested in New York. The time soon came to the next day.

Lisko got up early, had breakfast casually, and then took out two bottles of Jack Daniel's whiskey from the luggage he brought back, which was given to him by his manager when he was nominated for the Nobel Prize.

Jack Daniel's, one of the oldest wine producers in the United States, is a top whiskey brand made from rye, corn and malt. Since it is stored in carbonized white oak barrels, it will smell like a paint-like barrel after opening the bottle. As for the taste, Jack Daniel's is very heavy. Many people like to drink it with cola to reconcile the original heavy taste.

Lisko took out the gift box and packed it, and tied it with a beautiful cable tie.

He went downstairs and chose a pickup truck Chevrolet in the garage. Beau is an old-fashioned old-fashioned farmer, serious, and has never been used to other cars. His cowboy thinking makes him think that other cars are limp sissy cars .
