Chapter 192: 191. Star Community (Ambiguous Alliance+6)

Fourth of July, American Independence Day, is a very important holiday for people on this continent.

However, Li Du had no sense of belonging to the United States, so he did not go to the festival, and neither did Hans. The two decided to go to the old house auction community to investigate the situation.

The truck passed the road, the intersection was blocked, and there will be a parade passing here soon.

Hans took a sip of beer and scolded: "Didn't you say that the American economy is in crisis? Why are you still in the mood to celebrate these messy things?"

Li Du looked at him in horror: "Brother, you are an American. How can you talk like that? How unhappy are your Grandpa Washington and Papa Lincoln hearing this?"

Hans shrugged and said, "I like Franklin."

As he spoke, he took out a shiny green hundred-dollar bill from his pocket, and kissed it twice vigorously.

Godzilla turned the steering wheel silently, the truck turned deftly, and left the downtown area of ​​Flagstaff City through two small roads.

Drive northwest along the road, and then you will arrive at the small town of Carpenter they are going to this time. If you continue driving, you will eventually arrive in Las Vegas.

This small town has beautiful scenery. Although it is located in a desert, it has winding rivers and abundant groundwater. It is these water resources that gave birth to this small town and formed an oasis.

Along the way, he saw a lot of red-yellow deserts, and Li Du suddenly saw a piece of green. It was a small grassland, some cattle and sheep were grazing leisurely on it, and two shepherd dogs were playing happily.

"This is entering Carpenter Town, isn't it?" he asked looking out at the scenery.

Hans nodded and said, "On this road, if you see green, then you've arrived in Carpenter Town."

"I seem to have heard the name Carpenter somewhere, this must be a very famous town." Li Du said thoughtfully.

Hans looked at him in shock: "Don't you know Carpenter? The Carpenter band, the Carpenter brothers and sisters, they are very famous!"

Li Du smiled awkwardly: "Maybe, I haven't heard much of their songs."

"Yesterday Reappearance, Top of the World, Wait a minute, Mr. Postman, you haven't heard any of these songs?" Hans continued to look shocked.

Mr. Li spread his hands and said, "Okay, I have heard it, it seems that my memory is not good."

Hans patted his head and said with a smile, "Don't be sad, kid, in fact Carpenter Town is also very famous, maybe you have heard the name of this town before."

"roll!"

The town of Carpenter is indeed very famous. One is that the Carpenter brothers and sisters once lived here. It is said that "Please Wait, Mr. Postman" was created here.

Later, the Carpenter brothers and sisters left the town, and the town was simply named after them, and there was even a Carpenter Museum in it.

In addition, the scenery and environment of Carpenter Town are very famous. There is a mineral spring resort and spa here, which is said to be one of the oldest spa resorts in the United States.

Li Du is not interested in these so-called "one of the best". He has discovered that American towns are very good at hyping themselves, and almost every town has a little gimmick.

But Hans strongly recommended him to go to the spa to rest: "You always inadvertently show a tired look, which means that you are under great pressure both mentally and physically. We must go to the spa."

Seeing his enthusiasm, Li Du asked suspiciously, "Is there any abnormal transaction?"

Hans was taken aback and said, "What is an abnormal transaction?"

"For example, is there any girl naked to accompany you in the bath?"

"Schete, who do you think Boss Fu is?" Hans said angrily, "I just want you to have a good rest!"

Li Du laughed and said, "Okay, I accept your favor, I was just joking."

Hans snorted, "Go to the spa, your treat."

"Of course, please, but we have to go to the community first!"

The oasis of the town is flat, with rows of palm trees standing on the side of the road, and there are many gardens at the entrance of the community, where colorful flowers bloom in full bloom.

Two rivers intersect in the town, and some waterfowl and ducks flow down the calm river. From time to time, children appear on small leather rafts and play in the river with their dogs.

The truck stopped next to a cold drink shop at the intersection. Li Du ordered a glass of iced orange juice, while Hans and Godzilla were drinking cold beer. Since the truck was about to stop, there would be no worries about drunk driving.

Lying on the guardrail of the small bridge by the river, watching the scene of children and dogs playing in the water in the distance, he smiled and said, "The scenery here is really beautiful."

After all, it was a small town, and the business of the cold drink shop was mediocre, so the boss chatted with them with a toothpick in his mouth.

Hearing Li Du's praise, the boss said proudly: "Of course, the Carpenter brothers and sisters were attracted by our scenery back then, and the resort that will be built soon is also because of our scenery here."

Hans handed the boss a cigarette and said, "A resort is going to be built here? Aren't many houses going to be demolished?"

The boss took his cigarette and nodded: "The cumulonimbus community behind will be demolished, and it is the oldest community in the town."

The two smoked and chatted, and Hans gradually brought the topic to the residents of the community, asking who was rich, who liked to collect things, and who was generous.

Li Du knew that he was checking the community news, so he listened quietly.

Cigarettes and alcohol are the two most suitable things in the world to build relationships. After Li Du came to the United States, he saw the way of passing cigarettes to communicate feelings for the first time. This is very common in China, but rare in the United States.

But it was a success, and the boss, smoking Hans's cigarette, began to chat with him.

After chatting for more than half an hour, Hans waved goodbye to the boss, and then the three walked into the community.

Li Du was carrying a bag, and Hans asked, "What's in it? It's crazy to carry a bag on such a hot day."

Mr. Li smiled slightly: "You will know later, there are good things in it."

The houses in the community are simple and vicissitudes, with a sense of time.

The boss is right. This is the oldest community in the town. Many houses have become dilapidated. No wonder the real estate company can successfully buy the community.

Li Du asked: "Will the whole community hold old house auctions?"

Hans nodded, "Yes."

There are about forty houses in the whole community. This is a small community. Most of the houses in American towns are single-family houses, which look like small villas.

Therefore, although there are many houses in the community, there are actually not many residents.

In this way, Li Du felt a bit strenuous. The area of ​​the forty houses was large enough, and they were not close to each other. Using small flying insects to search for the whole process would consume a lot of energy.

Fortunately, he was prepared, and while putting down his bag, he asked, "Did you find any useful information just now?"

Hans said: "Well, I got information on a few houses, but I can't get in, so it's not very useful."

Li Du smiled mysteriously: "Who said that?"
