Winslow is a standard western town: there are cars, houses and no people, Xiao Peng drove down the street, and thought he had arrived in a ghost town, and finally saw a person leaning on a telephone pole, Xiao Peng leaned over to ask for directions, only to find out that it was a statue of Don Henry, the home of the Eagles.

The people of the Stars and Stripes are very fond of building statues for people, and you wrote a song to our town to introduce us? Okay, put up a statue for you; you did a good job as mayor of our city, okay, put up a statue for you; even the outer wall of the Supreme Court of the Stars and Stripes has a statue of Confucius, I don't know how they connected Confucius to the court.

A few days ago, there was a joke about the statue, an ingenious artist, directly in the five major cities of the Stars and Stripes: San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Cleveland, the main bustling streets, simultaneously launched a public exhibition of the Apugo statue, and also named the statue called "The Emperor Has No Eggs", which is called a hit. I even put it up for auction in the end, and the price was not bad.

It's very interesting in the stars and stripes, let's take the media as an example: the stars and stripes have absolutely no speech-freedom, you can't joke about religion, you can't joke about women, you can't joke about people with disabilities, you can't joke about fat people, in short, it's dangerous for you to scold anyone, all civil society, but it's safe for you to scold the president. Scolding the government of the Stars and Stripes will not cause trouble. That's why those talk shows in the Stars and Stripes are a joke about the president and the government every day.

It's also because of the statue that it has caused a lot of trouble here, like the racial conflict that took place in Virginia, which was caused by the overthrow of the statue of Robert Lee. There are similar statues or monuments almost everywhere in the Stars and Stripes, and now there is a movement to demolish and counter-demolish Robert Lee's public image throughout the Stars and Stripes.

As for the overthrow of the statue of Robert Lee, this is a complex issue, which is equivalent to the image brought by the construction of the statue of President Chiang in Huaxia.

Isn't that adding to the chaos?

In the end, it was so serious, Xiao Peng just wanted to say to them heartbreakingly: deserve it!

XIAO PENG FOLLOWED THE GUIDANCE OF GOOGLE MAPS AND FINALLY FOUND THE 'LAPADA' HOTEL. This inn-style hotel is famous all over Route 66.

It is said that this place is very beautiful, but when Xiao Peng arrived here, he really couldn't see where it looked good from the outside, it was a two-story building, but it was full of cars, and there were charging piles specially set up for Tesla charging, which seemed to have a lot of connotation inside.

The three of them were also excited to open a room, but they were told that it was full and needed to be booked, and the front desk suggested that a few people go to MOTOL6 in the town to stay. Xiao Peng saw that it was still early, so he simply left the town and continued to hurry, leaving Arizona first.

To tell the truth, Xiao Peng has almost driven Arizona crazy, and going to Arizona in the summer is simply masochistic! Most of the time here belongs to the stove, and the temperature here can reach more than 40 degrees during the day, which is simply painful for Xiao Peng, and he really wants to leave here now.

Since there is no room, let's hurry. It's still early anyway. After discussing with the second daughter, the three of them embarked on the journey again. Finally, before dark, he came to a small town called Holbrooke, where several white spire tents attracted Xiao Peng's attention.

"What is this at the Wigvam Hotel?" Xiao Peng asked, pointing to the white tents, "Are we at Lawyer Sally's house in "Cars?"

"Hahahaha. Alacy listened to Xiao Peng's words and smiled: "I really didn't expect you to watch cartoons." ”

Xiao Peng was speechless: "Is there anything weird about me watching cartoons?"

Arecy smiled and nodded, "I'm starting to understand why you don't know Sasha Gray." ”

Xiao Peng: "。。。。。。 ”

"But you're not mistaken," said Amisia, "the tent hotel opened by lawyer Lisa in 'Cars' is indeed based on this place. Don't underestimate this hotel, it's also seventy or eighty years old. ”

"Let's live here today!" Hearing this, Xiao Peng was also interested, drove the car over, and when he got closer, Xiao Peng first felt a strong sense of disappointment. Although the tent is made of Indian style, it is not made of fabric, but made of concrete and steel. There were fifteen of them, and on the side of the road was the gas station and the office, Xiao Peng parked the car and walked to the office. The so-called office is an old-fashioned wooden house, and the interior decoration is very distinctive, with various Indian-style decorations hanging on the wall, and a petrified wood more than a meter long on the table in the window, that is, fossilized wood. It's a valuable collector's item, and it's just casually there.

It's no surprise, though, that the Stars and Stripes' Petrified Forest National Park is located here, and it's also home to the largest petrified forest in the world.

Although Arizona is now a barren desert, this was not the case in ancient times, where scientists believe there were herds of dinosaurs and a large number of fish in the nearby rivers. What age did these huge petrified woods come from? So here, all kinds of fossils are common. Although it has been listed as a national protection by the Stars and Stripes since 1906, it is not uncommon for locals to get some fossils once in a while, and there are many souvenir shops in Holbrook that specialize in fossils.

There was a middle-aged white woman sitting in the office, and when she saw Xiao Peng and a few people coming, she got up to greet everyone.

"Hello, Ms. Eleanor Lewis. Emilia greeted the woman.

Xiao Peng looked at Emilia puzzled: "Do you know the boss here?"

Emilia explains: "The tent motel was designated as Tent Motel Six in 2002 by the National Historic Roll of the Stars and Stripes, but it was closed due to the fall of Route 66 and was refurbished by his children when Lewis Sr. died. I watched a documentary about this place a few years ago. ”

"Beautiful young lady, you have a good memory, yes, I am Eleanor Lewis. Eleanor replied with a smile.

"Miss Lewis, do you have a room?" said Emilia politely.

"Of course!" Eleanor looked at Xiao Peng and the others: "One room?"

Xiao Peng was speechless, don't you think people are a little bit so?

It seems that people have long been surprised.

Emilia smiled and waved her hand, "We need two rooms." ”

Eleanor saw that she had misunderstood, and explained with a smile, "Well, actually, I mean, we have a two-bed room." ”

Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "You mean that there are two beds in that tent?"

Ms. Lewis explained with a smile: "When you go in, you will find that there is something different, even though it looks like a tent, but there is air conditioning and everything. ”

Hearing that there was an air conditioner, Xiao Peng was also relieved, he was really afraid that the room was the same as in this office, a ceiling fan was turning. Aren't Arizonas afraid of the heat?

Xiao Peng took the key and entered the room, under the tent-shaped appearance, the room was a circular internal space, which had a TV, air conditioning, as well as a toilet and shower, which felt similar to the small room in Huaxia's home. In order to maintain the original appearance of the house, the furniture inside the house is all refurbished walnut furniture.

Xiao Peng and the others put their luggage in the room, and they didn't even have the mood to go shopping in the town, and they were almost sunburned all the way to drive, and after taking a shower, Xiao Peng threw himself on the bed. Emilia played with Lacey for a while, and when she came back, she saw Xiao Peng sitting cross-legged on the bed holding his gramophone.

"Honey, what are you doing. Emilia asked.

Xiao Peng replied: "Obsessive-compulsive disorder is committed, listening to it rattling along the way, but it annoys me to death, I want to fix it." ”

In fact, Xiao Peng can use his mind clone to go in to see what parts have fallen, but after repairing the wheels for Neil, Xiao Peng's desire to do it is unprecedentedly high, and repairing things by himself is the most rewarding.

Emilia said, "Okay, dear, then I'll go take a shower first, and you fix it slowly." ”

Xiao Peng waved his hand at Emilia, and began to study how to disassemble the gramophone. In fact, it is not difficult to disassemble this gramophone, a flat-edged screwdriver can do it, but after all, this gramophone has been around for too long, and the screws have long been rusted, which increases the difficulty for Xiao Peng, and he carefully began to disassemble it.

When Emilia came out of the shower, she saw Xiao Peng holding a photo and a small box in her hand in a daze.

"What are you looking at, dear?" asked Emilia.

Xiao Peng showed the things in his hand to Amilia: "It's not that there are missing parts in this gramophone, there are these two things in it." Now, if you look at this picture, why do I think these people are familiar?"

After listening to Xiao Peng's words, Emilia took the photo, which was an old black and white photo, showing a group photo of two white men and a yellow woman, with the Kremlin in the background.

Emilia recognized: "Isn't this Gorky? I know him among the three people, and the other two don't." ”

"Gorky?" Xiao Peng asked.

"Don't you know? Emilia pointed to Xiao Peng with the beard in the photo.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Of course I know, the one who wrote "Haiyan"? When we were in school, we were all required to memorize that article." ”

Emilia was puzzled: "Why did you carry it?"

Xiao Peng shook his head: "How do I know, maybe I hope we all become poets in the future." ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Peng stared at the photo and looked at the woman inside, always feeling familiar.

Where have you seen it?
