Chapter 204 203. A Strange Specimen (3)
Walking along the path, Li Du discovered that the Amish people were not what he imagined, but a group of small people gathered together, like a minority ethnic group holding together to make fire.
The Amish people's living places are not closed, and they don't even live in clusters. There are no villages or communities at all. They are all scattered households, and many houses are scattered.
The motorcycle continued to drive, and he found that as he approached the city of Flagstaff, there were still Amish houses scattered among the houses of other Americans, and they all lived together.
As for how to judge the residences of ordinary Americans and Amish people, it is very simple. Americans have cars at the door and wires connected to the houses.
The Amish were different. Their house was marked by a large barn in the back and a small black wagon in the back or front yard.
However, whether it is an ordinary American or an Amish, whether it is a road or a small road, the door of the house is a road, and it is an asphalt road.
Some Amish houses were built next to the shopping mall, surrounded by lights and feasting, but they were not affected, which Li Du admired very much.
Back at Hannah House, Li Du got out of the car and said, "I always thought they lived in that kind of isolated mountain valley, but it turned out that they lived mixed with ordinary people."
Hans said: "Of course, in fact, ordinary people inserted into their gathering places later. The Amish chose to live in the land. They generally choose to live in traditional farming areas, which are rich and vast plains."
After lunch, he immediately went to deal with the lease of the forest clearing.
After completing a series of procedures, the three of them drove over in the evening and dumped the doors, windows, furniture, household appliances and household garbage brought from Carpenter Town on the open space.
Hans brought an oven, and there was a small refrigerator in the Iron Knight, which was full of wine, meat and vegetables, and they ate barbecue here in the evening.
Li Du yearned for this kind of life, just like camping, they stayed in a wasteland, the charcoal was burning in the oven, everyone drank wine, joked and ate barbecue.
Overhead, looking up at the starry sky, the hustle and bustle and pressure of the city seem to disappear all of a sudden, only the ease of returning to natural life.
It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is not the case.
As night fell, Hans took a wire from the car and turned on a light.
The light quickly attracted a large number of mosquitoes, and the three of them became the mosquitoes' delicacy. The sound of crackling and slapping sounded, and Li Du killed more than ten mosquitoes in a short while.
Hans said helplessly, "Fake, I can't stay here anymore, let's go back and eat."
The old Godzilla monk sat still, not caring about the mosquitoes that came to suck blood on him, and kept turning the barbecue.
Li Du couldn't stand it either. He looked at the unloaded things and said, "Leave directly? Will someone steal it?"
Godzilla said lightly: "You guys go, I'll stay."
Hans laughed and said, "Why do you stay here? Are you feeding the mosquitoes? Don't worry, our neighbors are Amish people who love peace and have morals. They won't steal anything."
Li Du wasn't worried about the Amish people, but he didn't need to worry about other people. This wasteland was quite secretive, and there were many mosquitoes, snakes and rats at night, so no one would pay attention to it.
Back in the garden, they ate barbecue and drank beer. From the third day, they had to deal with these things brought back from Carpenter Town.
However, Li Du was worried about things being stolen, so he decided to clean up the wasteland first.
Godzilla DIYed a few signs and hung them outside the barbed wire fence, which read: Private site, no entry is strictly prohibited, entry without invitation is at your own risk.
There is only this sentence, but it is enough. In the United States, this sentence is not empty talk. If you trespass on a private property without authorization, the owner has the right to shoot and kill him directly!
After hanging the sign, Li Du said: "Find a free day, we have to build a house here, and when there are more things in the future, Godzilla, you will live here."
The big Mexican nodded happily: "Okay."
Li Du said: "Although the electricity can't be pulled in, we can build a diesel generator for you to use, and then get two big freezers to store wine and meat."
Godzilla grinned from ear to ear, because he is a driver, and he rarely has the opportunity to drink. If he can live here, he will naturally be a carnivore, and he can come here whenever he wants.
After tidying up, they returned and saw an Amish family packing things in the yard on the way. A piece of paper was pasted on the tree next to it, which read: Disposal of second-hand goods.
Li Du asked Godzilla to stop the car. He happened to be interested in both flea markets and Amish people. Combining the two together, he definitely couldn't let go of this opportunity to learn more.
After getting out of the car, he walked into the yard and asked, "Hey, ma'am, are all these things going to be disposed of?"
In the yard, a middle-aged woman in a long black home skirt was busy. There were many daily necessities on the lawn, almost all of which were handmade.
After hearing what he said, the woman nodded without opening her mouth.
Li Du squatted down and took a look at a ceramic jar, and asked, "Is this also handmade by you?"
The woman shook her head and finally said, "No, this is left by my grandfather."
Hearing this, Li Du became more interested. Could it be that he still encountered antiques?
In this way, he immediately released the little flying insects to study the ceramic casserole.
As a result, the little flying insect had no interest in the jar after it came out. It flew directly to a bird skeleton specimen at a very fast speed. Obviously, this thing was full of temptation to it.
This skeleton specimen was very large, about one meter high, with thick bones and a huge beak. Li Du retracted the small flying insect to prevent it from destroying the specimen, and then looked at it carefully.
He is not an ornithologist, so judging from the skeleton specimens, there is nothing to see at all.
So he released the little flying insect again, wanting to use the little flying insect's ability to reverse time to see the real body of this specimen.
But after he used this ability, the first picture that appeared was the specimen placed in a box...
What Li Du saw was a skeleton specimen of a bird, there was no doubt about it, so why couldn't the little flying insect see its real body? Why is it that the earliest image seen is that it has become a specimen?
A series of questions appeared in his mind. Li Du was very concerned about the questions about the small flying insects, so he immediately decided to take this specimen.
He took back Xiao Chong and pointed to the bone specimen and asked, "Ma'am, how much is this?"
The woman looked like she had seen a ghost, and said, "No, this is not for sale."
Li Du disappointed: "Aren't you going to sell them? Didn't you just say you planned to dispose of them?"
The woman thought for a while and said, "Yes, but I don't need to sell it for money. I want to dispose of it. If you have something I need, then I am willing to exchange it with you."
Li Du immediately understood: This is to barter!
He was not familiar with this industry, and it was the first time he encountered it, so he quickly called Hans.
