Chapter 544 543. Tourists and Auctions (2)
Watching the last sunset, Sophie put her hands on the warm rock surface and sighed, "God, I feel as if I have touched the time fragments of millions of years..."
As she sighed, the sun got closer to the horizon, and their shadows were stretched longer and longer.
Li Du took Sophie's hand and jumped onto a rock wall, watching the sun go from a red fireball to a little bit darkened and disappeared at the border of the desert. This process was very fast, but it was very slow in the eyes of the two.
In their field of vision, the entire Stone Forest Park was illuminated by the afterglow, with fiery red lights flashing everywhere, as if the earth was burning.
In addition to the fiery red light, because there are more fossils and ores on the ground, there are more flashing colors.
At first the light of the fire dominates, and as the sun sets, other lights begin to flicker.
It seems that the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period and the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period are performing something on the historical stage. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, all kinds of colors come on stage after you sing, changing the national park into various colors.
A group of big birds appeared in the sky while flying. The sky was dark, and the figures of the birds gradually became blurred, but the vitality they brought did not diminish at all.
The sun has completely set, and at this time the desert has changed from overall red to overall purple, and even the sky under the afterglow of the setting sun has turned purple.
The twilight is still there, and it uses the desert as a palette.
The land, hills, and fossils change color, and eventually a brilliant starry sky begins to reveal itself. At this time, the starry sky is not dark, but a kind of dark blue.
In this way, the boundless dark blue shines on the earth, turning the earth into a tide-like gray-blue.
Standing on a boulder, Li Du felt that he was facing the sea frozen into hills by magic. The boulder under his feet was like a surfboard, which made him feel like he could ride the waves at any time.
It was not until the sky was full of stars that the two of them woke up from the spectacular sunset scene.
Li Du glanced at Sophie, and said: "It's really magnificent! The desert is solitary, and the long river is setting in the sun. I dare say, that's nothing more than that!"
He said this poem in Chinese, and Sophie couldn't understand, so he explained it.
But interpreting it in English cannot fully understand its artistic conception.
After hearing what he said, Sophie thought for a while and said, "Then how about this, you teach me Chinese, I will learn Chinese, and then appreciate your poetry culture."
This is a good request. Li Dule has to teach Sophie Chinese. After they get married, Sophie and her parents will have to communicate. It is more reliable for her to learn Chinese than for her parents to learn English.
Riding on the horse and stepping on the moonlight, the two returned to the visitor center.
There were a few pickup trucks parked at the entrance of the park, and some rough shirtless men were smoking around, among them were some ore pickers who had lost bets to him.
It seemed that these people were staying here to look for trouble. Li Du would recover almost all his energy and was not afraid of them. However, it was still night with Sophie, so he didn't dare to take risks after all.
So, he called Godzilla.
Godzilla and others drove over quickly, and Hans also came, but he didn't go back and stayed here.
The four got out of the car, and Li Du took Sophie to meet them.
Seeing Li Du, the faces of the ore pickers changed and they all stood up and walked towards him.
Li Du joined Godzilla and Da Ao. Seeing these two people, the faces of the ore pickers changed again, and they all bypassed Li Du and his party and re-entered the national park...
Looking at these people, Da Ao frowned and said, "What the hell are they doing?"
Hearing his complaints, the pickers walked faster, almost trotting all the way into the national park.
Da Ao's appearance was more intimidating at night, and Li Du felt that it was time for him to raise his salary. Having him would save a lot of trouble.
On the way back, he took out the five pieces of Fire Opal he had with him, and gave one piece to each of the four Hans. He kept the clearest piece of Fire Cloud Opal for himself.
Godzilla looked at it in his hand, and asked strangely, "What is this?"
Lu Guan was taken aback: "Shit!"
Godzilla: "Where is such a beautiful piece of shit?"
Lu Guan said: "Don't interrupt me! Shit! This is fire opal! This thing is very expensive, this is a gem!"
Hans obviously knew this thing too. He played with the opal and said, "Where did you get so many fire opals? This one costs 10,000 yuan, right?"
After hearing his words, Da Ao tightened his grip on the gem in his hand.
Li Du gave a brief introduction to the game, and then said: "I got these stones together with the crispy noodle. The crispy noodle is a small expert in digging. There seems to be some connection between it and the fire opal. With my observation ability, Just picked up these stones."
Hans said: "You must have discovered them. There is a relationship between raccoons and fire opal? Shit, if there is a relationship, I am willing to adopt a hundred raccoons."
In an area like Flagstaff City, which is close to the National Forest Park, raccoons are relatively annoying animals. They are reckless and destructive. They often enter people's backyards to wreak havoc, and residents do not welcome them.
As soon as Hans said the words, Li Du sighed in his heart, he and Hans were too familiar, his words could not fool Hans.
Fortunately, Hans didn't know the real reason why he was able to discover the valuable warehouse and fire opal, and thought that he really discovered things by relying on his insight beyond ordinary people.
Li Du didn't explain too much, he said: "I found a new way to make money, find a time, if we can't make money in the warehouse, then come to the Fossil Forest National Park to look for Fire Opal."
Hans nodded and said: "This is a reliable way to make a fortune. If we can find the best fire opal, we don't have to deal with warehouses anymore, and we can just enjoy beautiful women and fine wine for the rest of our lives."
Of course, the most important thing right now is the upcoming warehouse auction.
In the morning, Li Du brought Sophie and others to the warehouse company. They arrived late, and most of the treasure hunters had already arrived.
Now, they don't have to go to the warehouse company every time to observe their opponents and formulate strategies like they did when they first entered this industry.
Now that they rely on their fame and strength to overwhelm their opponents, they can't go early, otherwise they will definitely attract a lot of treasure hunters when they learn that they are interested in a certain auction.
Even without him, the auction attracted a lot of people. Winslow's warehouse is famous, and many people have come across good things here.
And it wasn't just the treasure hunters who came. A group of tourists came to the warehouse company, wearing white hats and holding small flags. Seeing these people, the treasure hunters were stunned.
The auctioneer introduced them, saying that these people are tourists who come to the warehouse company to see the warehouse auction industry. They come from Asia and have never seen this industry.
