436.The Lonely Wrong Road (133+)

Li Du and they drove the Iron Knight, they wanted to rent a car, but the car rental business in the town was not developed, so they could only continue to drive the truck. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to the things found in the warehouse, the carriage was also loaded with some old daily necessities and handmade jewelry, which were stuffed to the brim.

Seeing these messy things, Dickens leaned up and asked, "Boss Li, are you going to carry out the warehousing and auction business to the end?"

"What do you mean?" Li Du didn't understand his joke.

Dickens laughed, "I mean, you also take old goods with you when you travel?"

Li Du pointed at Hans and said, "It was his idea, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

The crowd looked at Hans curiously, and Ollie asked, "What are you bringing these things for? An old loom? What is that? Guillotine? Where did you get the antique?"

Hans grinned and said, "What do you say I'm doing, let me ask you, where will we go through Lake Powell?

Dickens suddenly said, "Oh, you're going to make a deal with the Hopi? Can you go in? The Hopi are not like the Amish, they don't welcome outsiders. ”

Turis hurried to the store: "He must be able to go in, otherwise what would he be doing with these things? Quick, let's get something and go and see." ”

Ollie asked in amazement, "How did you get involved with the Hopis? Those guys hate Caucasians." ”

Hans said: "I have nothing to do with them. ”

Ollie was stunned for a moment, and said, "Then why are you bringing these things? They will never trade with you." ”

Hans patted Li Du on the shoulder and smiled, "My brother is of the yellow race, and the people of the Hopi tribe will be willing to trade with him." ”

Li Du looked at him helplessly and said, "Man, is this considered racial discrimination?"

Hans said innocently: "Of course not, even if it does, it is the Hopi people who discriminate against us white people." ”

The Hopi are a Native American tribe recognized by the U.S. government that lives primarily in northeastern Arizona, and they have a small population of less than 20,000 people.

However, these 20,000 people occupy 6,500 square kilometers of land, and of course, more land belongs to them.

The U.S. government has stipulated that the Hopi can farm, graze, hunt, and build on these lands, which is entirely their territory, and if they are not happy, there is a reason to evict anyone who enters the land.

However, this does not mean that the Hopi can do whatever they want in this land, nor does it mean that they are happy to be in this land.

Because the entire land is surrounded by the larger Navajo Reservation, the Navajo and Hopi people share the Navajo-Hopi Joint Use Area.

However, the Navajo are more numerous and more powerful, and they always blur the lines and encroach on the Hopi territory, creating a long-standing dispute between the two sides.

The Hopi people don't have a good relationship with whites in the first place, and they think it's a deliberate bullying of the U.S. government to involve the Navajos.

So they refused to trade with whites, Indians in general, and people of color such as blacks, who were once in the ruling class.

Li Du was willing to give it a try, his trade with the Amish had made him a million, in case he found something good in the Hopi, wouldn't it be cool?

Hopping into the car, they drove all the way to the magnificent Lake Powell.

In order to allow Li Du to experience more of the local customs, Hansted chose to drive from the eastern route.

"What's the difference?" he asked, looking at the scenery.

"Of course, the western front canyon is steeper and more steep, while the eastern front is at the bottom of the valley, so it's much more gentle and open," Hans said. ”

Li Du asked: "In this way, wouldn't it be better for us to take the Western Front?"

Hans gave him a roll of the eyes: "Of course not, the western route is complicated, there are many obstructions, and the view is very bad." Taking the eastern route will take you to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, which will give you an up-close look at the interior of the Grand Canyon. ”

The highway is indeed a smooth road, sparsely populated, and even more sparsely driven, and when you look out of the car, you can feel the desolation and magnificence of the American West very clearly.

The view of this route is very good, but unfortunately there is little color on the land, there are no green trees and meadows, no purple and red flowers, and no golden autumn rice fields.

As far as Li Du looked, all he saw was reddish-brown land, which is the iconic landform of the Grand Canyon.

After driving for a while, he felt that something was wrong: "Why don't there be many cars coming and going?"

The United States has a well-developed highway network, vast land in the western region, few households and few pedestrians, and it is indeed easy to encounter a sense of loneliness when driving here.

For example, Highway 50, which is known as the loneliest road in the United States, sometimes you can't touch one or two cars in half a day.

But this is not Highway 50, there are a lot of tourists around, more than 3 million people every year, and it shouldn't be so long to not touch a few pedestrians.

Hans saw it openly, and said lazily: "Maybe it's not appropriate to travel today, and today is a weekday, so there are not many tourists who come to play." ”

After driving for more than 20 minutes, they came across a gas station rest area, and the group went in to drink a cup of coffee, refill the car, and then get back on the road.

After hitting the road this time, I couldn't touch the car anymore.

Li Du felt that something was wrong, but the treasure pickers were interested, and Ollie shouted: "It's just right that there is no car, guys, come on, let's race the car!"

The calm Turiss said: "Don't, our truck is full of things, don't play too exciting!"

"Limit your speed to within one hundred and twenty kilometers, guys, and chase it!" Ollie said and stepped on the accelerator, and his truck flew off immediately.

Hans also slammed on the accelerator, and a trolley began to chase after me on the road.

In this way, Li Du didn't have the heart to search for the path on the Internet, he quickly sat down and shouted: "Made, I hate you bastards to death, what kind of racing!"

But the car really sped up, and he felt that it was enjoyable, and the feeling of speeding on the highway was really refreshing.

As a result, they sped all the way, and the car drove as fast as they could, and after half an hour they came to the front of a bridge, at which point people began to slow down and have to be careful about the situation on the side of the bridge.

In fact, they were right to slow down, and after the car drove onto the bridge, Li Du and they saw that the bridge was blocked!

"Shit, no wonder there are no cars or pedestrians on the road, it turns out that this road is impassable!" Hans scolded.

Li Du even had to scold: "Fake, don't you know to check the road conditions before you go out?

Hans said aggrievedly: "Who said I drove it with experience? You see, I drove it with GPS." ”

There were a few shops on the bridge, and Hans looked at it and didn't know what came to mind, and said with a smile: "Although the road is blocked, we still have a harvest." ”
