The next afternoon, Anne drove to Carmody for shopping, followed by Diana Barry. You can imagine that Diana is also a loyal member of the association. There is no doubt that on the way to Carmody, the two girls talked about the promotion meeting, and the topic was the same on the way back.

"Before our association starts to work, the first thing to do is to repaint the association hall." Diana said when they passed Avril Hall. This is a dilapidated old building. "This place looks so humiliating. We must deal with this problem first, and then try to persuade Mr. Levi Bart to tear down that broken house. However, my father said it was impossible to persuade Li Wei. Levi Bart is too selfish for him to spend time doing such a thing. "

"However, if we let the boys help him tear down the house at first and then take it slowly, don't be too impatient. You can't expect to do everything beautifully at once. We should first attract everyone's attention and build momentum. "

Diana didn't fully understand what "making noise" meant, but it sounded quite good. This association has such great boldness of vision and such a grand goal, and she is proud that she will become a member of this association.

"Annie, I thought of something we could do last night. Do you know the triangle where Carmody, Xinqiao and Baisha meet? Little white clouds and fir trees grow there. Look, what if it looks good? "

"Great!" Anne was very excited and agreed with her. "We can also put a country-style wooden stool under the birch tree. When spring comes, we can build a garden in the middle of this field and plant geraniums. That's great. "

"Yes, but first, we must find a way to get old lady hiram Slaoney to take care of her cow. Don't run into the road, or it will eat all the geraniums." Diana smiled and said, "I'm beginning to understand what you mean by' building momentum', Annie. Look, Bart's old house is right there. Does that look like a slum to you? And it's too close to the road. Every time I pass this broken house without windows, it always reminds me of a body with its eyes gouged out. "

"When I think of this abandoned house, I seem to see a sad picture." Anne lost herself in her dream. "I always feel that it is recalling the past time and lamenting the lost happiness and prosperity. Marilla said that a long time ago, there lived a big family in that house. What a beautiful home this should be! There must be a charming garden here, and roses in full bloom can be seen everywhere. Children must feel the loneliness and sadness of the house in the cold wind! Perhaps, at midnight in the moonlight, everyone in this family will come back here-children, roses and ghosts who sang in the past long ago, reliving its youth and joy. Although this dream is very short. "

Diana shook her head.

"Annie, don't entertain foolish ideas. I won't think about this stupid house now. Do you remember? We used to imagine ghosts in the haunted Woods, but my mother and Marilla got angry and gave us a good meal. I'm afraid until now. I dare not walk through that jungle alone after dark, and the thought of it makes my hair stand on end. If I fantasize about ghosts in Bart's old house like you now, I will never pass by here again. In fact, all the children who live here are alive and well and have grown up-one of them is a butcher. Besides, how can roses and songs have souls? "

Anne couldn't help letting out a sigh from the bottom of her heart. She loves Diana deeply, and they have always been inseparable friends. However, she knew a long time ago that whenever she wandered in the imaginary kingdom, she could only be alone. The road to the fantasy country was enchanted, and even her most beloved person could not follow.

The two girls were caught in a thunderstorm in Carmody. However, the thunderstorm did not last long. When they drove home, glittering raindrops hung on the branches of the roadside. In the valley covered with green leaves, the wet fern exudes a strong fragrance and is refreshing. However, just as their carriage turned to Cuthbert Road, the sight in front of them ruined Anne's good mood of enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

On their right is Mr Harrison's vast wheat field. Oats sown late are covered with rain and lush. In the middle of Yan wheat field, a Zeniu walked casually, showing only its back in the lush wheat field. It is chewing oats with relish and winking at them leisurely!

Annie threw away the reins and bit her lip and stood up. Judging from her livid face, this carnivore will be in big trouble. Before Diana could figure out what was going on, Anne turned over and jumped out of the car, jumped over the fence and rushed over without saying a word.

"Annie, what's the matter? Come back! " Diana slowly recovered from her surprise and shouted, "It has just rained and the wheat field is very wet. Your clothes will get wet! Hey, did you hear me or not? Gee, how can you catch that cow by yourself? I will come to help you. "

Annie rushed across the wheat field like crazy. Diana jumped out of the carriage lightly, tied the horse to a stake, lifted the hem of her beautiful plaid skirt, rolled it into a knot, then climbed over the fence and began to chase her crazy good friend. Diana ran faster than Anne, because Anne's skirt was soaked with dew in the wheat field and stuck together, which hindered her speed and was soon caught up by Diana. They stepped on oats and left a trail of footprints. If Mr Harrison sees them, he will be heartbroken!

"Anne, please stop," said poor Diana breathlessly. "I can hardly breathe. You are all wet! "

"I must ... get this damn beast out of here before Mr. Harrison sees it," Anne gasped. "As long as I can catch it ... even if I drown ... I don't care."

However, this Jersey cow seems to like sweet oats very much and has no intention of leaving here at all. As soon as two suffocating girls approached it, it turned around and quickly fled to the corner opposite the wheat field, unwilling to leave.

"Stop it," Annie screamed. "Run faster, Diana, hurry up!"

Diana ran as fast as she could, followed by Anne, but the hateful cow ran around in the wheat field like a demon. Diana really believed that it was possessed. After chasing for ten minutes, they stopped the cow and drove it from the gap in the fence to Cuthbert Path.

There is no denying that after doing so much work, Anne still can't keep her gentle temper like an angel, and her lungs are about to explode. So, when she finally saw a carriage parked by the side of the road and Mr Hill and his son laughing in Carmody, Anne still couldn't calm down.

"Annie, I was thinking that if you sold me the cow last week, you wouldn't be in trouble today!" Mr. Hill said with a smile.

"If you want, I can sell it to you now," Anne blushed and her hair was messy. "You'll take it away. I don't want to see it anymore. "

"Well, it's a deal. This is the same as the price I offered last time, twenty dollars, and Jim will send it to Carmody at once. Take it to town with other goods at night. Mr. Reid of Brighton wants a Jersey cow! "

Five minutes later, Jim Hill led the cow along the road. Annie, who looked very impulsive, drove back to the Green Gable with twenty dollars in her hand.

"How can I tell Marilla?" Diana asked.

"Oh, she won't care. Dolly the cow is mine. Besides, even if it is an auction, the price can't be higher than 20 yuan. Oh, my God! If Mr. Harrison sees his wheat field, he will think that Dolly has broken in again, but on my honor, it won't happen again! Alas, this incident has taught me another good lesson, that is, never use your personality to guarantee cattle. Cows can actually jump over the fence of the milking shed, and it is worrying where they are raised. "

Marilla went to Mrs. Linde's house. When she got home, she heard that Dolly had been sold. Because Mrs. Linde saw the whole thing from her window, she also guessed the details of the transaction.

"It doesn't matter if you sell it, but you are too rash and impulsive, Annie. But I really don't understand how it got out of the milking shed. It must have broken several boards. "

"I don't know, I didn't go to see it at that time," Annie said, "but I'm going to have a look now. Martin hasn't come back yet. Maybe one of his aunts died. This reminds me of Peter Slaney. She said' Oort Gold Blue'. Oort Gold Blue: over eighty years old, 80 to 89 years old. One night, Mrs. Slaney was reading a newspaper. She said to Mr. Slaney, "I saw a news that an Otgold blue died." . "Peter, do you know what Otgold Blue is?" Peter Si Long replied that he didn't know, but he often heard about the death of this creature. To be sure, this creature must be sickly. In my opinion, Aunt Martin is such a golden-blue aunt. "

"Martin is just like those French people," Marilla said in disgust. "It's not trustworthy at all!"

While Marilla was busy packing Anne's shopping, she suddenly heard a scream from the backyard. Soon, Anne rushed into the kitchen and rubbed her hands angrily.

"Annie, what's the matter?"

"Oh, Marilla, what shall I do? Too bad. This is all my fault! Alas, why do I always do something rash and stupid? Can I learn to stop and use my head before I do something stupid? Mrs. Linde always told me that one day I would do something incredibly stupid, and now I really did it! "

"Annie, you always like to exaggerate! What the hell happened? "

"I sold Mr Harrison's Jersey cow, the one he bought from Mr Bell, and now I have sold it to Mr Hill! Our Dolly is doing well outside the milking shed! "

Annie, are you talking in your sleep?

"I really think this is a dream. But this is the reality. It was like a nightmare. Mr Harrison's cow has arrived in Charlotte now. Oh, Marilla, I thought I would never do anything rash again, but it has caused great confusion. This is the worst stupid thing I have ever done. What should I do? "

"What should I do? There's no other way, son. We can only talk to Mr. Harrison. If he doesn't want money, we can make it up to him, Dolly. Our Dolly is no worse than his cow. "

"I think he will be mad and won't agree to this solution at all." Anne complained.

"I think so too. He is a man with a bad temper. If you like, let me explain to him instead of you. "

"No, no, I'm not that timid," Annie said loudly. "It's all my fault. Let me handle it myself. How can you be scolded for me? I'm leaving right away. The sooner the problem is solved, the better. The longer it is delayed, the more difficult it will become. "

Poor Annie said, put on her hat and went out with twenty dollars. Just as she was about to step out of the door, she inadvertently peeped in from the open kitchen door and saw the nut cake baked on the table in the morning, wrapped in pink icing and dotted with walnuts, which made people really want to take a bite. This cake was carefully prepared by Anne for Friday night's activity. Young people in Li Anwei Town intend to formally establish the "Village Promotion Association" on Green Gables Farm. However, is it more appropriate to give this cake to Mr. Harrison? Anne thought this cake could impress her, and put it in a box to apologize to Mr. Harrison as a gift.

"I really hope he can give me a chance to explain," Anne thought ruefully. She climbed over the fence and across the lawn. On this fantastic August night, the golden sunset shines on the earth. "I finally realized the feelings of those prisoners who went to the gallows."
