Li Du greeted the two of them, but the two girls' attention was on Ah Meow. They came up to Ah Meow and pulled him away forcefully, as if they were soldiers in enemy territory.
Ah Meow clung to Li Du's arm with his little front paws. The two girls pried his front paws away, like gangsters pulling open the pants of innocent girls.
The little ocelot's face was full of despair.
Hans passed Li Du a chocolate bar and laughed. "You must be disappointed that I didn't ask Sophie out."
Li Du smiled. "No, you're the one who's going to be disappointed."
Hans had always wanted to matchmake him and Hannah, but the two of them had no interest in each other. This had nothing to do with their looks. It was just that they were not attracted to each other and were destined to be friends.
Hans didn't care about this at all. He worked tirelessly to make his sister and Li Du a couple.
Only he knew how outstanding and scary Li Du was. He also knew how outstanding Li Du's sense of responsibility towards his relationship and family was.
Hearing Li Du's words, Hans was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Mr. Li took out his cell phone and made a call. Soon, a motorcycle came speeding over, emitting black smoke. On the motorcycle was a young man in a blue uniform. His messy hair danced in the wind like withered grass.
"Sh * t, Stephen!" Hans rolled his eyes helplessly.
Stephen, the mechanic, had come straight from work. His uniform was full of oil stains, and his hands and face were also stained with black oil.
Seeing this, Hannah immediately let go of Ah Meow and went over. She took out a wet wipe from her bag and carefully wiped Stephen's face.
This scene warmed the mechanic's heart, and he smiled brightly at his sweetheart.
This scene also made Ah Meow heave a sigh of relief. Although there wasn't a bright smile on his face, he didn't feel hopeless.
"Look at this silly look. I bet that after Hannah marries him, I'll have to support an extra family," Hans said, feeling a headache coming on.
Natalie smiled and asked, "What do you mean by raising an extra family?"
"Oh, nothing. Why didn't Sophie come?" Hans changed the topic.
Although he did not think much of Stephen, he respected his sister's choice and would not show his opinion of Stephen unless he was with someone who was particularly close to him.
Natalie shrugged and said, "Although it's the weekend, Sophie is a doctor. She won't rest according to her normal schedule. She's working today."
"What a shame," Li Du said.
Natalie shook her head and said, "Isn't that right? Sophie won't be able to rest for a few days. They're preparing to do a charity medical activity for Bones Community. "
Hans exclaimed, "Are they going to become saints? Bones Community? That's no place for a girl. "
Bones Community was a slum in Flagstaff. There were places like this in every city in the United States. Most of them were black people, illegal immigrants, and homeless people. There was no order and it was like hell.
Hans was Flagstaff's know-it-all. Li Du didn't know much about this community, so they started to talk about this topic while climbing the mountain.
The Grand Canyon National Park had a great reputation in the United States. It could first attract people with its vast magnificence, then shock them with its vast rock formations.
Finally, it had rugged plateaus, fragile peaks, and brownish-red ridges. It could use these artistic details to move people.
The Grand Canyon also had the Colorado River, which was 277 miles long. It had carved the canyon for the past six million years, using rocks that were two billion years old.
It was a pity that the little bug couldn't absorb the time energy in the rocks. Otherwise, Li Du felt that he could use the little bug to become Superman.
The Grand Canyon was divided into the South Rim and the North Rim. Most tourists would choose the South Rim because of the convenient transportation, rich services, and rich scenery.
However, Li Du and his group went to the North Rim, where there were large bamboo forests, grasslands full of wildflowers, and tall and dense poplar forests and spruce forests.
From a distance, they could see the lush bamboo forest.
Because it had just rained, the bamboo leaves and bamboos looked as if they had been washed by water. The green color was startling. The thick bamboo leaves swayed with the wind, as if water could drip out at any time.
The dense bamboo forest spiraled up from the foot of the mountain, and then was replaced by poplar and spruce forests at an altitude of 200 to 300 meters above sea level. The changing colors were breathtaking.
Looking at the bamboo forest, Li Du sighed. "The green bamboo is half-grown, and the new shoots are just coming out of the wall. Lust invades the books late, and hides the coolness of wine. The rain washes the bamboo clean, and the wind blows the fragrance. But I can see the long clouds without a sword! "
"What's that?" The other four looked confused.
Li Du smiled. "Nothing, a traditional poem from China. Come on, let's go find some bamboo shoots. We'll fry them for lunch."
"Yay, there's food!" Natalie waved her fist excitedly.
They split up to look for bamboo shoots. Stephen walked over, rubbing his hands. "Thank you, Li."
"Huh?"
"Just asking me to join you," Stephen explained. "I'm happy to be with you, but Big Fox might not be too happy."
Li Du patted his shoulder. "The better you treat Hannah, the happier Big Fox will be."
Stephen smiled brightly. It was hard for him to make a lot of money, but treating Hannah well was his specialty.
Before they started, Hans said, "You guys know how to dig bamboo shoots, right?"
"Can't we just dig with a knife?" Hannah looked at Stephen affectionately and said casually.
Hans shook his head helplessly. "Sh * t, you only have Stephen in your mind now. Listen, if the bamboo shoots are longer than your fists, then let them go."
Li Du said, "Yes, these bamboo shoots will all be one bamboo tree in the future. Big ones don't taste good. Let them continue to grow."
Americans were not interested in bamboo shoots. If there was no trade, there would be no harm. The bamboo forest was well protected. After the spring rain, a large number of bamboo shoots appeared.
Hans brought a military shovel, and Li Du bought a small hoe from the supermarket. These were both good tools for digging bamboo shoots.
Ah Meow returned to the forest, and was in high spirits. He shuttled and jumped. The smooth bamboo shoots were not difficult for him at all. He could climb up them with great agility.
Li Du found a new tender bamboo shoot next to a bamboo tree. He cleared away the accumulated old leaves and used a hoe to carefully clean the surrounding soil. Then, he tried to poke the hoe into the ground. He pulled it up with all his might and dug out a bamboo shoot.
The wild bamboo shoot looked like a cannonball. It was small at the top and thick at the bottom, and had a smooth arc. It was yellow-brown with black stripes and a layer of dense fine hair. It looked quite cute.
Li Du picked it up and tested it. It was about two kilograms. It was a big bamboo shoot.
He was about to look for the next one when the hoe hit a bush. A pheasant suddenly jumped out, flapped its wings and ran forward.
A strong wind blew, and Ah Meow landed on the ground. Like an arrow released from a bow, he caught up with the pheasant in a few steps. He opened his mouth and bit the pheasant's neck. With a twist of his head, he broke the pheasant's neck!
