Chapter 509
Li Du entered the hotel and took a look, said: "Not bad, very good, this style is quite special, it's all made of yellow-brown mud bricks, what route did you take?"
"Water-scarce route." Hans laughed.
Li Du asked strangely: "What?"
Hans explained: "This is a Spanish-style mud brick house, and the courtyard inside is a mud brick courtyard, a very old Spanish style."
"The yellow-brown mud bricks you see are a kind of characteristic local architecture in Tucson. It is dry all year round and there is no rainfall for a long time, so the mud bricks that are not burned and dried in the sun are used to build houses."
Li Du said: "If it rains, won't the houses here be ruined?"
Hans shrugged and said, "But it doesn't rain. It doesn't rain very much here all year round. Even if it rains, it's just a drizzle, so there is no threat to these mud bricks that have been hardened by the sun."
Li Du has learned a lot. Tucson people don't have the time to plan for a rainy day. If it were him, he would definitely worry about living in such a house.
This hotel is very famous, and the service is also very good. If the passenger brings a child under the age of 14, he can provide an extra bed for free, and also provide a supper for the child.
The hotel has lush gardens, not an easy setting for a desert city.
Behind the garden is the swimming pool, and in front is the library, forming a resort area. People can drink a cup of coffee on the porch, and then go to the library to read a book. It feels good to go to the garden to rest or go to the swimming pool for leisure in hot weather.
In addition, the hotel allows pets, and each pet has to pay an extra fee of 20 yuan per day, and 40 yuan for pets weighing more than 10 kilograms.
Fortunately, neither Ah Meow nor the crispy noodles weighed more than ten kilograms, so Li Du could spend less money.
Li Du was inevitably exhausted after using the little flying insects all morning. When he arrived at the hotel, he happened to take a rest, took the three little guys into the garden, and found a secluded corner to drink coffee to restore blood.
There is also a croquet field next to the garden. Some people are playing this kind of sport that he has never seen before. It looks quite interesting.
Croquet is an outdoor ball game in which a mallet is used to hit a ball through a hoop on flat ground or lawn. It originated in France and spread to England in the 13th century, and then to Scotland and Italy in the 17th century.
It wasn't until the nineteenth century that the sport spread to the United States.
But Americans liked the game, and soon the National Croquet Association was established to promote it. The game is slightly like golf, but easier.
Ah Meow couldn't see people playing balls, and when he saw balls of various colors appearing on the lawn, his eyes lit up immediately.
As soon as Li Du put it down to rest, it jumped up and ran on the lawn.
At this moment, Mr. Li was extremely exhausted, and he really didn't have the energy to chase it, so he could only shout in vain: "Ah, come back, come back!"
When Ah Meow saw the ball, it was like seeing a fish. He didn't listen to his order, ran over and made a volley pounce, jumped up and landed on a ball with his paws, and then swung his paws and slammed it up.
The balls used in croquet are not big, like billiard balls, and the texture is the same, very hard and heavy.
Ah Miao was miserable this time, she clawed up, and the bones hurt when she bumped into it, the painful Meow screamed a few times, and ran back staggeringly.
With this lesson, it can be regarded as being honest for a while, and soon it found a new pleasure, which is catching fish.
There is a pool in the garden. According to the Chinese garden style, goldfish and other ornamental fish are raised in this pool.
First of all, Gan Jianmian saw these ornamental fish. Its thief eyes glanced at it, ran over silently, waved its claws, and went to catch the fish in the water.
Where have these poor ornamental fish encountered such a situation? Generally, those who watch them are gentlemen and ladies, and they will not feed at will, let alone catch them.
The crispy noodles are so good, I can't wait to jump down, the two claws fluttered fast in the water, a fish ran into its claws in a panic, and was slapped up by it!
Meow's eyes lit up again: fish!
Li Du was really tired physically and mentally, he had to chase the two little bastards, and scolded: "You can't be quiet for a moment, right? Go back to me, come back!"
Ah Miao and Gan Crispy Noodles thought they were playing together, and ran around the pool. Li Du could only chase them hard, and managed to catch them both.
When I went back to the rest area, Ah Ao disappeared again.
Now he is in a hurry, Ah Ao is too young, it will be troublesome if he is taken away, not to mention he is uncomfortable, Sophie is even more uncomfortable, it is hard to say whether he will continue to fall in love with him!
Just when he was in a hurry to find the waiter to mobilize the monitoring, Ah Ao ran out again. Its belly was round, and it squatted down somewhere and started to pee.
A little pee here, a little pee there, it pissed happily in the corner of the garden.
Li Du lay powerlessly on the row of chairs, so tired that he wanted to cry, why didn't any of these brats feel relieved?
While urinating, Ah Ao's nose twitched, and suddenly he dug in a patch of sand.
Li Du turned his head to see it, and said weakly: "Ah, stop digging, dig digging, dig your mother's watch, come back, be honest!"
But Ah Ao's little paws flipped over the sand quickly, and soon created a small pit.
Li Du didn't bother to pay attention to it, and simply let it dig it up. Anyway, this is a garden, and it's all dirt, so he can just bury it later.
After digging for a while, Ah Ao suddenly ran over with something in his mouth, ran to his side and grabbed his pants with his front paws, trying to climb up on him.
Li Du looked down and saw that Ah Ao was holding a bracelet in his mouth, which was inlaid with some beautiful red and blue stones, but it seemed that after a long time, these stones became less crystal clear.
It looked like a fake gemstone bracelet, but he thought it might be a real bracelet, so he called out the little flying insect to see if it was interested.
It was an unintentional move, but the result surprised him:
After the little flying insect appeared, it excitedly flew towards the bracelet, lying on it and quickly sucking the time energy inside.
Li Du originally wanted to call it back, but considering that this bracelet should be dug out of the soil by Ah Ao, and it belongs to an ownerless thing, it should be no problem for the little flying insect to absorb the time energy inside.
As the gnats sucked on it, the bracelet grew older and more dilapidated, eventually tarnished and the gemstones within cracked and fell into pieces.
After the little flying insect had absorbed the time energy inside, Li Du held it in his hand and looked at it strangely, but when he took it with his hand, the remaining part of the bracelet was directly shattered.
Seeing that Li Du was interested in the bracelet, Ah Ao happily called out to him, and then ran to the small pit, using both claws together, to dig harder.
Li Du wondered, how could there be treasures buried here? So he leaned over to look, and as the hole dug by Ah Ao became bigger and bigger, more and more things were exposed!
