1120.Adventurer (4/5)
Engagement is not like getting married, there are not so many red tape things, everyone gathers together, and then sends food and drink, eats, drinks and plays together.
It was not a very formal occasion, so when Li Du invited Steve and Porter, he thought they would not come, after all, Porter was fine in Los Angeles, and Steve was too far away in the northeast corner of the United States.
As a result, Steve still came, and from this point of view, he was very righteous towards Li Du.
This kind of party is an opportunity for everyone to get together, and Sophie's father makes a toast on behalf of both parents, announcing that Li Du and Sophie are engaged, and both parties raise their glasses to celebrate, and then they can move on their own.
Porter and Steve are the center of activity, and Cole and others surround the two, which shows the importance of family energy in American society.
Li Du introduced the Holy Son and the Magician to them, and it was useless for the treasure pickers in Flagpole City to introduce the past, and the two sides were not in the same circle.
The five little people were looking for food in the crowd, but they didn't know who provoked Ah Meng, and Ah Meng jumped straight in place angrily.
"This puppy is so interesting. Someone laughed.
Li Du was in a cold sweat, is it okay for people to be African beasts, and what about puppies, haven't you heard of the saying that Africa is chaotic and honey badgers are not?
Sophie took out honey to appease Ah Meng, she stroked Ah Meng's flat head and turned back to Li Du and smiled: "Who stepped on Ah Meng's foot, Ah Meng didn't know, so he could only sulk by himself." ”
This is the result of the transformation of the honey badger's mind, otherwise with Ah Meng's character, if you can't find anyone, everyone will be its opponent, and you will be bitten one by one.
The intelligence of the five little ones is something that no one has ever seen anywhere, and they shuttle around the party, which causes a lot of jokes, which can be called the atmosphere of the event.
Li Du knew how difficult these little ancestors were, so he stared at a few little guys to prevent them from blowing up their fur if they didn't want to.
At this time, Steve got out of the circle of Cole and the others, he came over with a glass of wine, and motioned to Li Du: "Hi, Lee, happy engagement, cheers." ”
Li Du clinked glasses with him, he thought that Steve's toast meant that everyone touched and took a sip, but the other party directly dried it up!
Seeing this, Li Du hurriedly said: "Drink slowly, Steve, your body is important." ”
Steve smiled and curled up his arm to show his muscles, and said, "I'm fine now, after I came back from Australia, I used the new medicine, as long as I take the medicine regularly, my heart is completely normal." ”
Li Du also toasted the wine in his glass and said, "Then not only toast to my engagement, but also toast to your body." ”
Steve smashed his mouth and said, "Actually, not only have I changed to more effective drugs, but I have been exercising for a while ago, by the way, I heard that you are going to Africa?"
Li Du nodded: "Yes, I went to Africa and found a diamond mine over there." ”
He felt that Steve's previous words were very blunt, and the other party was a little too sincere and enthusiastic about him, to be honest, Li Du couldn't stand it.
Steve exclaimed, "I've heard it, it's unbelievable, you've found a diamond mine, this is a diamond mine!"
"Good luck," Li Du smiled politely, "I saved a pygmy who happened to know about the existence of a diamond mine, otherwise how could I have gone to Africa and found a diamond mine?"
Steve said, "Do you have any adventure plans now?"
Li Du was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Adventure?"
Steve said, "Yes, you go to Australia and Africa, aren't you both adventurers? You're also friends with Don, the king of adventures, you're both adventurers, right?"
Li Du blinked, he couldn't understand what he said, so he had to continue to ask, "Adventure King Tang?"
Suddenly, he realized who Steve was talking about, so he continued to ask, "Tang Chaoyang, Song Biaozi, is a guy who is younger than me?"
Steve nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, it's him, Adventure King Tang." ”
Li Du said: "I am not very familiar with him, but I have some business dealings. Maybe you don't believe it, but I don't even know what he does, he's mysterious. ”
Steve laughed and nodded again, "I believe you, you're right, he's mysterious, he's a mysterious guy." Of course, he's a very good guy, too!"
Combined with the previous words, as well as Steve's interest, Li Du pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Do you want to go, adventure?"
Steve's expression suddenly became serious, and he smiled: "We Tucsonberg men are all adventurers, and my dream since I was a child is to go to some mysterious places to adventure and see magnificent and magical nature. ”
Li Du remembered that when he was in Australia before, Steve had to accompany him to mine, and he didn't understand at the time how Steve could have such an interest.
Now listening to his words, Li Du understands that Steve likes to touch fresh food, and finding mineral deposits is a kind of adventure, and he likes this lifestyle.
Li Du didn't know the Tucsenberg family, he knew that Steve was related to the Vanderbilt family, and the Vanderbilt family was in the transportation business, but he didn't know much about other aspects.
He was silent, thought for a while, and said, "You want to take risks? I don't understand, it's dangerous to take risks......"
"I know, but the risk is often proportional to the gain, and it's great to take a risk and see a lot of things that only exist in the imagination, and you can make money, just like you?" Steve interrupted.
Li Du still didn't quite understand what he meant: "Why do you want to take risks? I don't mean to offend, I'm serious, Steve, your family has status and money, you don't lack anything, why do you want to take risks?"
Steve stared at him and asked, "What about you, why are you adventurous?"
Li Du smiled and said, "I don't like to take risks." ”
"Australia and Africa, I know your experience in Africa looking for diamond mines, you dealt with two warlords and you overturned one of them. ”
Li Du didn't know how to explain, so he could only say: "I'm not going to take risks, I'm going to Africa, in fact, I have no choice." ”
Hearing this, Steve showed a disappointed expression and said, "I see, it seems that I misunderstood you." ”
Li Du said: "You just want to take risks because life is too boring?"
Steve shook his head and said, "No, that's one of the reasons, there are many reasons why I want to go on an adventure, my family heritage, my hobbies, and my responsibilities. ”
He sighed and said helplessly: "I thought you were both adventurers like Tang, and I still wanted to ask you for help, but it seems that this will not work." ”
Li Du said: "What kind of help? I'm happy to help you." ”
Steve said listlessly, "It's nothing, I'm going to the North Pole, but I can't do it myself, so I need an adventurer to help." ”
