Chapter 113: An Actor's Highest Achievement (8/10)(2/2)
He looked at the concerned expression on his father's face, as well as the traces left by years and time, as well as the sun in the countryside.
After a few seconds, Abel sighed softly.
Then his tone became firm:
"Dad, I know what you are worried about. I also know that you are concerned about me. But I also ask you to believe me, I will not be a dog.
Even after that, I will become their leader, even their master!!
I don't know exactly how to tell you, but that's it.
This is why I came back last time and asked you to help me.
Do you understand what I mean, Dad?"
Alexander said: "I didn't understand it before, but now I understand."
"only."
"Can I really do this?"
"sure!"
Abel said firmly: "Look at Li Gen. He was just an actor before. What about now? He is one of the most successful leaders in the history of the United States."
"You can't do what an actor can do? You don't want to be laughed at by your son, right? Dear father."
"Uh" Alexander was speechless.
"That's it." Abel patted his father on the shoulder and said with a smile, "In the worst case, we can go home and raise cattle together."
Alexander slapped Abel's hand away and ignored his smiling son.
For the rest of the journey, Alexander chose to sleep.
Abel stared out the window in a daze.
Just before the sun was about to set on the horizon, the team returned to Smith Farm.
Emily received the news early and ran outside to greet her husband and son when the motorcade appeared.
After the car stopped, Abel pushed Alexander with such force that the latter was knocked down.
They were all pushed down, and Alexander naturally woke up.
Then he jumped out of the car, greeted Emily with a smile, and gave his mother a big hug.
"fxxk! I was dreaming about Marilyn Monroe, and you woke me up!"
Emily held her son in her arms and smiled very happily as she watched her husband get out of the car cursing.
That night, Abel once again had a Texas-style dinner prepared for him by his mother.
After dinner, John Jr. and his son John IV came over.
Alexander wondered: "What's the matter with them?"
Emily, who had just come out of the kitchen and packed her things, said: "They should come to find me. I asked them to come to me tonight."
"What's the matter?" Alexander asked, "What's the matter?"
Emily nodded and pressed the automatic door opening device of the outermost door of Smith Manor to let John and his son in.
He said to the father and son here: "It's about the Mexican wolf."
"Mexican wolves?" Abel asked, "What happened to them?"
Mexican wolves are no strangers to Abel.
It should be said that farmers in the southern United States are all familiar with this wild animal.
The Mexican wolf is a subspecies of the gray wolf. It is a predator at the top of the food chain and usually moves in groups.
They are mainly distributed in the mountains and ridges of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.
They are also the largest members of the wild canine family in the world.
This swarm of wild animals used to be one of the most troublesome "pests" to rural farmers in Texas and several other nearby states.
They are much more of a threat than coyotes.
The combined size of two coyotes is barely equal to that of a Mexican wolf.
They attack livestock and like to attack livestock babies.
At the same time, their size, combined with their habit of traveling in groups.
Even for humans, it is sometimes troublesome to encounter them.
Unless you happen to have a gun with you, and your marksmanship is good, you should not be too timid.
In a hundred or two hundred years, this kind of wild animal has been almost hunted down.
Among them, the Texas wolf, which is almost the same species as the Mexican wolf, was declared extinct decades ago.
They were killed by the Texans.
But in the past ten years, with the rise of the concept of animal protection.
They were reborn, their population grew, and they once again became "pests" to farmers.
Farmers in rural Texas are not that easy to talk to.
In addition, Texas has its own laws, and it is not illegal to kill this animal.
Therefore, farmers often join forces.
When traces of such large "pests" are found nearby, we will set out to clean them up together, killing as many as they can.
Just like everyone kills coyotes regularly every year.
Facing the doubts of her son and husband, Emily said: "Have you ever heard of the Druid Peak Wolf Pack?"
Abel shook his head blankly. He had only heard of Druid, not Druid Peak.
The Druid Peak wolves, are they wolves transformed from druids?
Obviously not, Alexander nodded and said: "You mean, Little John and the others are going to clear out the wolves at Druid Peak?"
"Yes." Emily explained her son's confusion. "The Druid Peak Wolf Pack is the name given to this group of wolves in the newspaper. It seems that there are more than thirty adult Mexican wolves, which is the largest number on record.
Wolves.”
"Because of this, the risk is higher, so nearby farmers have banded together. Everyone uses guns and men, and also hires several hunters to either kill them all or drive them away."
"All right."
Abel nodded, he understood.
Another typical Texan favorite group activity, a group of people go out to kill wolves.
This is probably one of the few joys in the boring life of American farmers.
For similar fun, there are also various weird competitions held every year.
Such as mud fights, cowboy gun competitions, moving rocks, moving tires, imitating the sound of wind with armpits, spitting out watermelon seeds, grabbing pig feet, etc. boring or interesting competitions.
At this time, Little John and his son walked in.
Little John was Alexander's godson, even though he was actually only fifteen years younger than Alexander.
If Abel hadn't been born relatively late, he would have been only nine years older than Little John's youngest son.
It is estimated that he will also become the godfather of John Jr.'s youngest son.
After all, it is outrageous to ask a nine-year-old child to be the godfather of a newborn child.
Only then did it stop.
The main blame is Alexander's late marriage and late birth of children.
Just like John Jr.'s father, John, is Alex's godson.
To put it bluntly, John and his family are the most trusted people in the Smith family.
