203.A Strange Specimen (3)
Walking along the path, Li Du discovered that the Amish people were either what he imagined, or a small group of people gathered together, like a minority group to make a fire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Amish people live in non-closed or even clustered areas, there are no villages or communities at all, they are all scattered households, and many houses are scattered.
As the motorcycle continued to drive, he found that as he approached Flagpole City, there were still Amish homes, scattered among the homes of other Americans, mixed together.
As for how to judge the homes of ordinary Americans and Amish people, it is very simple, Americans have cars in front of their doors, and they all have wires connected to their houses.
The Amish are different in that their houses are marked by a large barn at the back and a black pony cart parked in the backyard or in the front yard.
However, whether it is an ordinary American or an Amish person, whether it is a large road or a small road, the entrance of the house is a highway, and it is an asphalt road.
Some of the Amish houses were built right next to the shopping mall, surrounded by the lights and wine, but they were not affected, which Li Du admired.
Back at Hannah's small building, Li Du got out of the car and said: "I always thought that they lived in that kind of isolated mountain valley, it turned out that they were mixed with ordinary people. ”
"Of course," says Hans, "it was the common people who came into their settlements later, and the Amish chose to live in the traditional farming areas, which were the rich plains. ”
After lunch, he immediately went to handle the lease of the glade in the forest.
After completing a series of formalities, the three of them drove over in the evening and dumped the doors, windows, furniture, household appliances and household garbage brought from the town of Carpenter into the open space.
Hans brought an oven, and the Iron Knight had a small Xiaoice box filled with wine, meat, and vegetables, and they ate barbecue here in the evening.
Li Duting longed for this kind of life, just like camping, they stayed in a wasteland, the coals burned in the oven, and everyone drank wine and joked and ate barbecue.
Looking up at the sky and starry sky, the hustle and bustle of the city seems to disappear all at once, and there is only the ease of returning to natural life.
It's a pity that I think it's beautiful, but the real situation is not like this.
As night fell, Hans took the wire from the car and lit a lamp.
The light quickly attracted a large number of mosquitoes, and the three of them turned into a delicacy for mosquitoes, and the crackling sound sounded, and Li Du killed more than ten mosquitoes in a while.
Hans said helplessly: "Fake, I can't stay here, let's go back and eat." ”
The old monk of Godzilla sat still, not caring about the mosquitoes that ran to him to suck blood, and turned the barbecue vigorously.
Li Du couldn't stand it either, he looked at the things unloaded here, and said, "Just leave, will someone steal it?"
Godzilla said lightly: "You go, I'll stay." ”
Hans laughed and said, "Why stay? Feed the mosquitoes? Don't worry, our neighbors are peace-loving and morally conscious Amish people, and they don't steal." ”
Li Du didn't worry about the Amish people, but he didn't need to worry about other people, this wasteland was quite secret, and there were many mosquitoes, snakes and rats at night, so no one would pay attention to it.
They went back and had a barbecue and a beer in the garden, and on the third day, they had to deal with the stuff they had brought back from Carpenter.
However, Li Du was worried that the things would be stolen, so he decided to clean up the wasteland first.
Godzilla DIY a few signs and hung them outside the barbed wire fence, which read: Private land, it is strictly forbidden to enter, uninvited, and the consequences are at your own risk.
There is only this sentence, but it is enough, in the United States, this sentence is not empty talk, trespassing on private territory, the owner has the right to shoot directly!
After hanging up the sign, Li Du said: "Find a free day, we have to build a house here, and if there are more things in the future, Godzilla will live here." ”
The Mexican man nodded happily: "Okay." ”
Li Du said: "Although the electricity can't be pulled, we can get a diesel generator for you to use, and then get two large freezers to store wine and meat." ”
Godzilla couldn't stop laughing, because he was a driver, and he rarely had the opportunity to drink, and if he could live here, it would naturally be a meat taboo, and he could come as he wanted.
After probably packing up, they were on their way back, and on the way they saw an Amish family packing up their things in the yard, and a piece of paper was pasted on the tree next to it, which read: Disposal of old goods.
Li Du asked Godzilla to stop the car, he happened to be interested in both the thrift market and the Amish people, and the combination of the two would definitely not let go of this opportunity to understand.
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 courtyard, a middle-aged woman in a black homely skirt is busy, and there are many daily necessities on the lawn, almost all of which are handmade.
Hearing his words, the woman nodded and did not speak.
Li Du squatted down and took a ceramic jar to look at it, and asked, "Is this also handmade by you?"
The woman shook her head and finally spoke, "No, this is what my grandfather left behind." ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Du became even more interested, could it be that he had also encountered antiques?
In this way, he immediately released a small flying insect and prepared to study this ceramic color jar.
As a result, the little flying insect came out with no interest in the jar, and flew directly to the front of a specimen of the skeleton of an avian bird, and the speed was very fast, obviously this thing was full of temptation for it.
The skeleton specimen was large, a meter tall, with a thick skeleton and a huge beak, and Li Du took the small flying insect back to prevent it from destroying the specimen, and then looked at it carefully.
He is not an avianthologist, so from the skeletal specimens, there is nothing to be seen.
So he released the little flying insect again, wanting to use the little flying insect's ability to reverse time to see the true body of this specimen.
But when he used this ability, the first image that appeared was that the specimen was placed in a box......
There is no doubt that what Li Du saw was a skeletal specimen of an avian animal, so why couldn't the little flying insect see its real body? Why did the earliest image he saw be that it had become a specimen?
A series of questions appeared in his mind, and Li Du was very concerned about the questions about the little flying insect, so he immediately decided to take this specimen.
He took back the worm 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, it doesn't sell for money." ”
Li Du said disappointedly: "Don't you sell them? Didn't you just say that you plan to dispose of them?"
The woman thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but not to sell for money, I'm going to dispose of it, and if you have what I need, then I'm willing to exchange it with you." ”
Li Du suddenly understood: this is bartering!
He was unfamiliar with this industry, and it was the first time he had encountered it, so he quickly called Hans.
