As they spent more time together, Li Du got to know Luo Qun better.
Now, he called the policewoman Luo Qun. Compared to her English name, Rose, he felt that the Chinese name sounded better and more elegant.
However, he suspected that he should not have called her Luo Qun. It was such a waste to use the name Luo Qun on this girl!
When they first met, Luo Qun was cold and elegant. Her pretty face was cold and expressionless. Li Du saw her as if she were a snow goddess.
However, this was all a facade. After they got to know each other, she started to show her crazy side. To put it nicely, she was as innocent as a child. To put it bluntly, she was a snake spirit.
Especially after he gave Luo Qun a Francis signed poster as a gift, their relationship deepened. Luo Qun did not try to hide herself and behaved even more like a snake spirit.
Li Du could only endure it. He realized that Luo Qun was still a cold goddess at work. She only showed her snake spirit at home.
With this, he understood that Luo Qun had always been pretending. She pretended to be a coworker at work, to criminals, and to the people around her after work.
He knew that it was tiring to do this, and that it could easily cause psychological problems. Therefore, when Luo Qun showed her true side, he tolerated it.
Who asked me to be a gentleman? Li Du comforted himself.
After packing up the goods, Hans sold the chandelier to the grocery store.
Kevin bid 20,000 dollars. After Hans' relentless bidding, the final price was 24,000 dollars.
There was another chandelier that was broken and not as luxurious as this one. However, Big Quinn said that it could still be used after some repairs.
Li Du felt that people from old goods auctions would be interested in it. He cleaned up the chandelier and put it in a conspicuous place, ready to start his planned sale.
However, before the sale started, there was another storage business.
"This time, the storage is in the mining town of Jerome," Hans said. "We've been there before. Red Rock Storage Company. They have six storage units for sale this time. There should be some good stuff."
Li Du thought for a moment and said, "Red Rock Storage Company? The place where we got the antique clock? "
"Yes, that's the place," Hans nodded.
Li Du exclaimed, "There's another storage auction so soon? Is it going to close down after a big clearance? "
In fact, it had been quite some time since their last visit to Jerome. It was already mid-July, and they had participated in the Red Rock Storage auction in March. It had been four months since then.
A day later, they set off in their car and once again visited the town known as the most evil city in the West.
Knowing that they were going to Jerome to participate in the storage auction, some treasure hunters from Flagstaff tagged along, wanting to pick up some meat to eat.
He drove to the small town. Compared to the last time he was here in spring, Jerome in summer had a different flavor. It was hotter!
Jerome was a mining town, and there were many mines under its jurisdiction. The environment was severely damaged. There was not enough green grass and trees, only barren mountains. How could the temperature drop?
As soon as he got out of the car, Li Du was forced back by a wave of heat.
Hans took out two bottles of iced beer from the small fridge and handed one to Godzilla. He took the other one for himself, opened it, and gulped it down before getting out of the car.
Jumping out of the car, he waved his arms and roared, "Awesome!"
Li Du shouted from the car, "Where's my cold beer?"
Hans laughed weirdly. "Just two bottles, one for me and one for Godzilla. Haha, awesome!"
Li Du opened the small fridge, and sure enough, it was empty.
Luckily, there were some ice cubes inside. He stuffed a bunch of ice cubes into his mouth, and then gave some to Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles. Then he quickly jumped out of the car.
This time, they went to a different hotel. When they entered, there was an old-fashioned elevator. It looked like an industrial elevator used in mines in the early part of the last century.
It was stuffy in the elevator. Hans pressed the button for the second floor. Li Du fanned himself and said to Ah Meow, who was meowing, "Bear with it, baby, it's okay. We'll reach the second floor soon …"
It took a minute for the elevator to open. In other words, it took a full minute for the elevator to go from the basement to the second floor!
As soon as they stepped out of the door, a strong mountain wind hit them.
Although the wind was strong, Li Du still felt hot, because the wind was also hot.
"Why did this damn elevator take so long?" he couldn't help but curse.
Hans said, "Be careful, the elevator just climbed 200 meters. Buddy, don't fall, we're at the top of the mountain!"
The elevator opened, and they appeared in a small, rough square. At the other end of the square was a simple building made of cement and wood, surrounded by cliffs.
Under the hot sun, Li Du walked to the edge of the square. Indeed, they were at the top of the mountain. Below them was a winding mountain road and endless bare rocks.
"This elevator goes to the top of the mountain? It's so unique, "Li Du exclaimed.
Hans said, "The total height of the elevator is 300 meters, and it can go 100 meters underground. It used to be used for mines, but now that the mines are abandoned, it's used for hotels on the mountain."
Li Du asked with interest, "This building is a hotel, right? It must be the hotel with the highest altitude in Arizona. "
Hans shook his head. "No, it's not the highest altitude, but what does it matter? In the summer in Jerome, you have to stay here, buddy, or you'll die from the sun! "
Li Du said, "No way? There's no other hotel in town? Wasn't the mansion of the mining tycoon we went to last time not bad? "
Hans said helplessly, "That was spring, buddy. Of course there's no problem staying there in spring. But with the temperature now, it's like a sauna. "
"Not even with the air conditioner?"
"If the air conditioner is on, it's a sauna," Hans said. "Besides, if the air conditioner is on too much, it's easy to get sick in this kind of weather. It's better to have natural wind."
The hotel didn't look like much from the outside, but the interior decoration was quite exquisite, and there were a lot of shadow netting around. After walking into the building, the mountain breeze that blew over cooled the temperature, and it was very refreshing.
Hans went to check in. The two rooms cost 400 dollars, which was not cheaper than staying in Los Angeles.
But considering that they were staying in a condominium at the top of the mountain, the atmosphere was not comparable to that of a normal hotel in Los Angeles, so Li Du felt that the money was well spent.
Behind them, a few more treasure hunters arrived. They all took the elevator up, and no one was stupid enough to drive to the top of the mountain. Otherwise, it would be a problem to drive down.
Li Du and Hans were drinking cold beer and chatting in the hall. The treasure hunters saw them and waved to them.
"Hey, Big Li, Big Fox, good afternoon."
"This d * mned weather, I hope I can get something from Red Rock, or I'll be broke."
"F * ck, I'm broke now. Big Li, buy us a beer?"
