Chapter 438
There are no people on the road, but these shops are still open, and the owners are all Indians.
Li Du didn't have a good impression of the Indians, not only because Marin and Harris who ran the casino had troubled him, but also because he was blackmailed by Indian students when he first came to school.
But the Indian bosses here are very enthusiastic. Seeing them driving over, a woman came out and waved: "You are going wrong, this road is blocked."
Hans took off his sunglasses and got out of the car. He said, "Yes, ma'am, we didn't get any news. But we met you here, which can only mean that God wants us to come here."
The woman laughed and said, "Come and have a drink and rest. Actually, this road has been closed for several days. There are warnings everywhere. Didn't you see it? Oh, you are tourists?"
"Well," said Hans, "what's the matter with the bridge?"
The woman said: "There is a lot of rain in autumn. It rained heavily a few days ago. The bridge was damaged by the wood washed by the river. The government has not repaired it yet."
"Damn government, this is a lazy government! The Democratic Party is so bad, they shouldn't be in power!" Hans complained casually.
The woman complained with him, and the two found a common topic, scolding the *** and the Democratic Party together.
In this way, Hans got closer to her, and then everyone followed the woman to her store to ask for drinks and some small burgers, cream rolls and other snacks and ate them.
Li Du asked, "What are we doing here?"
Hans grinned and said, "Don't worry, just wait and see, there are things we need."
Once they got close, the women asked where they were going.
Hans said: "We want to go to Old Oriby Village. In fact, we are second-hand treasure hunters, and we want to see if there is any business that can be done."
The woman smiled and said, "Oh, I see, but I'm afraid you will be disappointed, they may not want to make a deal with you."
Hans pushed Li Du out: "But I think they should be willing to trade with this guy, right?"
The woman looked at Li Du and smiled again: "Maybe, if you have good things, maybe they will be willing to trade with this guy."
They chatted casually afterwards, and finally prepared to leave. Hans paid the bill and gave an extra tip of fifty yuan.
In this kind of rural area, a tip of fifty yuan is not a small amount.
After paying the bill, Hans leaned on the counter and said naturally: "Ma'am, I think it will be difficult for us to be received by the honorable Hopi people if we go so directly. Is there anything you can do to help?"
The woman laughed again and said, "You're a smart boy, you're smart."
She took out two red and green feathers from the counter and handed them to him, saying, "With this in hand, I think they'll be kinder to you."
Hans thanked him with a smile on his face. After getting into the car, he said, "Okay, this time I will definitely be able to do business with the Hopi people."
Li Du asked: "The female boss is from the Hopi tribe?"
"The owners of these shops are all." Hans said, "but we were lucky. The bridge was blocked and there were no tourists coming and going. They had no business. They were boring and couldn't make any money."
"If it is normal, there are customers coming and going, we just give a little tip, and we will definitely not be able to get this thing from them."
As he said that, Hans shook the colorful feathers in his hand as if showing off.
Li Du knew that this thing should be a token among the Hopi people.
Judging from the reactions of other people, Hans performed really well this time, and Ollie and others praised him on the radio for a good job.
The bearded Carl asked, "How do you know she hates the Democratic Party? You scolded the Democratic Party just now, and I broke into a cold sweat for you. If she were a Democratic Party, you would be miserable."
Hans said: "It's too simple. The Hopi hate the Democrats, and they hate the Republicans. They even refuse to do business with all white people. Do you think they will join the Democrats?"
"Then why don't you scold the Republican Party?"
Hans said angrily, "You pig brains?"
Oli said unwillingly, "Why are you still swearing?"
Li Du laughed and said, "Haha, the Republican Party didn't provoke the Hopi people, so why scold them? The Democratic Party is different. They are in power, but the bridge is broken and the government has not repaired it for a long time, which affects their business. They will naturally hate the Democratic Party. "
Hans nodded and snorted, "Fortunately, I'm partnered with a smart guy. If I partnered with these pigs who don't grow brains but only grow fat, I think I will collapse."
The bridge was blocked, but they could take a detour, so their itinerary changed, and the first attraction was no longer Lake Powell, but Horseshoe Bend.
They walked around a mountain, and they were not far away across Horseshoe Bend. According to Hans, it was less than 40 kilometers away.
Li Du felt that it didn't matter if there was no Horseshoe Bay. The mountain road he replaced seemed to belong to the western route, with steep road conditions and magnificent scenery.
Beside several sections of the road are canyon cliffs that are cut like knives, straight up and down, extremely dangerous.
Naturally, driving this way would not be fast. Li Du understood the reason why Hans chose the eastern route. Under the cliff is the swift Colorado River. If a car accidentally overturns, it will be a dead body.
Walking quickly and slowly, they finally arrived at Horseshoe Bay before noon.
This is a U-shaped section of the Colorado River in Arizona, and it is also a small section of the Glen Canyon. Because the huge rock surrounded by the river bay is shaped like a horseshoe, it is called "Horseshoe Bend".
When they arrived, there were many tourists here taking pictures.
Li Du saw that there was a small post office here, so he ran over to have a look.
As luck would have it, there were postcards from Horseshoe Bay in the post office.
So he bought four postcards made of photos of Horseshoe Bay in different seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter, wrote some romantic things in Chinese on them, and wrote Sophie's address and mailed them to her.
After sending the postcard into the mailbox, he was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he went back and wrote a new copy for Luo Qun, which should be regarded as a souvenir.
Some postcards had local thumbnail maps on them. Li Du looked at them and said in astonishment, "Boss Fu, isn't it far away from Page?"
Hans laughed and said, "Yeah, haha, according to my plan, we should take this road on the way back, and then return to town after watching Horseshoe Bend."
Frith nodded and said: "This plan is correct, then we should come back in the evening, and watching the sunset in Horseshoe Bay is simply too beautiful."
In this way, Li Du could only sigh: "Well, we don't have that fate, but it's pretty good to see Horseshoe Bay in the morning."
The morning sun was bright, shining on the surface of the Colorado River flowing through the river valley, shining the river water like a long crystal, which was so beautiful.
Li Du deliberately found a place with a panoramic view of the fjord, and asked Hans to take some photos for him.
After all, we've been here, we've seen it, haven't we?
