Montana is located in the northwest of the United States and borders Canada, and California is only separated by Idaho and Nevada. It has the nickname of the wealthy state, but this wealth does not refer to the richness of the economy, but the wealth of the people. The rolling hills at the northern end of the Key Mountains and the majestic prairie that covers two-thirds of the state!
There are 10 national forests and 13 wild reserves here, as well as Glacier National Park and some Yellowstone National Parks. The beautiful natural landscape makes everyone who travels here come and go, and there are also many movies that use natural scenery as the location. For example, in Brokeback Mountain, which Angela had considered in her plans.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at the horse farm outside the small town of Gardiner. The afternoon sun shined through the layers of branches and leaves on the grass, and the breeze kept changing, which seemed quite sentimental.
Following the car of the racecourse owner Ronald Lane around a corner, the crew had already appeared in front of him. It seemed that Angela and the others had arrived at the right time, and the crowds on the set were back and forth at the break time.
"Hi, Daryl, how are you?" Ronald laughed when he got out of the car, raised his thick arms and hugged the oncoming young assistant who looked dry and thin.
"Don't worry about Ron, your horses are all right. Peter won't let us use them if there is a problem. What a stingy and excellent assistant." Darryl joked.
"I didn't come to see my horses," Ronald waved, "I brought people over to visit the class."
"Visit? Who needs you to come to visit? Bill Clinton? Madeleine Albright?" Daryl was still joking.
"Trust me, she is much more welcoming than those people." The racecourse owner said seriously, and then moved away.
Daryl didn't take it seriously at first, but after recognizing the front of the two girls, he immediately changed to a surprised expression: "Miss Angela Mason?"
"Yes." Gila nodded politely. "Nice to meet you, Darryl..."
"Darryl Cobbs." The young man introduced himself happily, "I didn't expect to meet you here! You came here..."
Having said this, he suddenly patted his head: "By the way, you are friends, I'm sorry, I should have thought of it earlier, please wait a moment, I will inform Mr. Redford."
"I think if you can, don't disturb Mr. Director for now," the girl hurriedly stopped him, "I'm here to visit her class."
"Of course," the assistant nodded suddenly, then waved to the distance, "Terry, come here!"
A young mixed-race woman with a few freckles about his size came over: "What's the matter, Darryl?"
"Is Miss Johnson there? Someone has come to see her."
"She's probably over there," the young woman named Terri pointed to the still lush woods not far away, through which a crystal clear river was flowing, "she said she wanted to be alone for a while, I looked at her The mood doesn't seem very good."
"Then let's go over there." Angela said after Daryl turned around, and then said goodbye to Ronald, the owner of the racecourse, and then took Avril's hand and walked towards the woods. The two bodyguards still follow.
"It's unimaginable, you are also afraid of the enthusiasm of FANS." Vivi said mockingly, Angela immediately turned her head and deliberately glared, and the little guy quickly stuck out his tongue: "Okay, Mr. Ronald The family is really overly enthusiastic."
Angela was too lazy to talk to her but just quickened her pace, and Weiwei had to close her mouth and trot along. When I walked into the woods, a cool feeling immediately came to my mind. It was much denser than the previous one. In addition, the climate in Montana was not stable. Although it was summer, the temperature was still lower than other areas, so it was quite cool in autumn. sense.
After walking a few steps between the trees, Angela finally found a calf sticking out from behind a certain yew tree. She smiled and shook her head and ran over, turning around the trees and who was sitting there who was not Scarlett
The girl was wearing a red and white plaid shirt and one-shoulder jumpsuit jeans. She didn't look pretty, but she was leaning against the tree trunk and burying her legs, not knowing what she was doing.
"Hey, Manny, I finally found you, God, why did you come here? Isn't it cold?" Although she was surprised by her behavior, Angela knelt down beside her for the first time, grinning While asking, she raised her hands to prepare for a bear hug when she exclaimed, but when Scarlett raised her head, Angela couldn't laugh anymore.
The girl's eyes were red, and tears kept rolling down her cheeks, mixed with anger, helplessness, and sadness, which made people feel distressed, Angela held her cheek sadly: "What happened, Manny? Who? Did you bully you?"
Scarlett didn't answer, but slammed into her arms, hugged Angela tightly with both hands, then buried her face in her chest and twitched her shoulders slightly, obviously in extreme sadness.
Avril, who was equally surprised and distressed next to her, also knelt down at this moment. She was about to speak, but saw Angela shaking her head slightly and making an apologetic gesture. Weiwei smiled and said it was okay, and then said to Scarlett again. After making a few gestures as a supplement, Angela tiptoed away after nodding.
"If you're sad, just cry out loud. There's no one else here but me. It'll feel better if you cry out loud." Angela patted Scarlett's back lightly and whispered softly in her ear. Said in words, over and over again.
The frequency of the trembling of the small body in his arms became faster and faster, and the arms holding Angela became tighter and tighter. The choking sound came from the head buried in the chest, and then slowly turned into a low whimper, In the end, he finally lay in Angela's arms and cried a lot. That kind of deep and painful whimper made people feel sad.
At this moment, Angela's heart is very sad. It is the first time in her past life and this life that she has faced a friend who cried helplessly like a life-saving straw. Even Kate was only a vent after her sadness, while Scarlett was like a flood control. The dam finally collapsed after the crack, and floods poured out overwhelmingly.
So she could only try to keep her posture so that the girl in her arms could feel more comfortable, and at the same time, the soft voice that soothed her back kept saying in her ear: It's alright, it will be alright.
Finally, Scarlett's cry subsided, she slowly raised her head, although her eyes were still red, she was still choking lightly, and her pretty little face was painted with several tears, but it was finally better.
"I'm sorry..." She wiped her tears and looked at Angela's chest with embarrassment, which was quite wet.
"It's okay," Angela He's smiling hands gently wiped away the tears remaining on her face, "Did something happen?"
Scarlett opened her mouth but turned her head away, looking rather hesitant, as if it was a little hard to tell. Angela sighed lightly and put the little girl's shoulders on her shoulders, looked at her and said seriously: "I know Manny is strong, confident, and has the advantages that all New York girls have, she must have met her so sad. It's very painful, her heart must be hurt very badly, maybe I can't help her, maybe she just doesn't want me to worry, then it's okay if she doesn't want to say it, but I want her to know that no matter what she has Aggrieved, her friends—me, Nat, Jesse, Lindsay, Liv—will stand behind her! We'll be there for her even if the sky falls!"
The girl stared at Angela in a daze, biting her lip, not knowing what she was thinking, Angela still stroked her hair with a gentle smile: "Okay, then we..."
Without warning, Carrie hugged Angela tightly again, her body began to tremble again, her beautiful facial features were twisted together, and she seemed to be trapped in painful memories, while Angela said nothing and was still as light as before. Gently stroked her back.
"I hate him! I hate him! Why did he do this! Why! Why did he divorce his mother when he and his mother had a good life! He's still not my father! Is he the father of four children! I don't forgive him Never forgive him!"
The hoarse voice echoed in the woods, and Scarlett shouted it completely, showing how resentful and unwilling she was. From these few sentences, Angela roughly knew what was going on, but after she figured out the whole story, she didn't know how to comfort the little girl. Scarlett's situation was different from Xia Xia. She was only four years old when Xia Xia's parents divorced. , five years old, still can't understand why his parents are not together, this time as long as more enlightenment will not have any adverse consequences for the children.
But Scarlett is already 13 years old. Divorce of parents at this age is undoubtedly the biggest blow to their children. At this time, the children's outlook on life, world outlook and values have just begun to form, and suddenly encountering great changes in the family, it is easy to guide them carelessly. Become extreme, just like Scarlett now. It is certain that Mr. Johnson asked for the divorce, perhaps even because of an extramarital affair, so the little girl felt that her father had betrayed her.
"... These few months, I have to go to school, I have to comfort my mother with my brothers and sisters, I have to pretend to be calm in front of Adrian, I have to pretend to be calm in front of my family, and when my father comes back to see us Greeted with a smile... I cried secretly under the quilt more than once, it was really uncomfortable and uncomfortable... Why is this happening!"
"It's alright, Manny," Angela held Scarlett's shoulders again, looking at her still tearful eyes, and caressing her cheeks pitifully, "We can't comment on the behavior of our parents, and we can't correct them decision, but we can choose whether to keep these on our shoulders, or let it go and continue to walk our own way! You are not alone, you still have your mother, and Hunter, Vanessa, Adrian, and We! We all love you, so even for us, you should cheer up, the storm will pass and the rainbow will come."
Having said that, she leaned over and kissed the little girl's smooth forehead lightly. Scarlett had completely stopped crying. She stared at Angela in a daze. There seemed to be a lot of things flashing in her pale green eyes. There was nothing, and then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, it was so soft that it looked particularly beautiful in the shimmering tears.
The girl slowly wrapped her arms around Angela's waist, leaned her head against her chest again, and pressed it so tightly that she didn't want to part anymore, and followed the two girls and cried out, "Ah. !"
"What's wrong?" The two asked in unison.
"My legs are numb!" they said in unison again.
The two girls looked at each other with a strange look, and then both couldn't help giggling. The clear laughter echoed in the woods, and the previous sadness seemed to disappear.
