In the face of these doubts, Sayder smiled and said, "No, no, no, my dear friends, the fire extinguisher has not been sold yet, but it can't be sent to the auction stage because the owner has decided to donate it to a town …"
"I don't believe you. There must be some dirty deal behind the scenes! What donation? They must have paid in secret! "someone shouted.
Sayder laughed, "Let the tax bureau investigate this. In our opinion, this is a good thing to be encouraged."
Mayor Jordan was invited to the stage. He shook hands with Sayder and took the microphone. "I'm Stephen Jordan, the mayor of Highland Town. If you've been to Highland Town, you might know me."
Flagstaff was not a big place. There were more than 200 people here, so there must be someone who knew Jordan.
After he finished speaking, someone nodded and said, "This is Mayor Jordan, a good man."
Jordan continued, "The harvest in the fields has not been good these years, my friends. So our town's public treasury is a little empty. We can't even make up for the fire engine that's broken.
"Luckily, I met Du Li and Hans Fox, the two good guys. I was looking for them to see if there was a second fire extinguisher. After they found out about the situation in Highland Town, they decided to donate the fire extinguisher to us …"
As he spoke, he pointed at the two of them. The crowd parted and everyone looked at them.
Li Du smiled and waved his hand. Many people around him gave him a thumbs-up.
Jordan's reputation was there for all to see, and the doubtful voices immediately disappeared.
After that, the contract was signed and the property was handed over.
Jordan looked at the engine, the high-pressure machine, and the water nozzle. With an excited expression, he said, "This is great. Our fire engine can start again."
Li Du shook hands with him and said, "This fire extinguisher can go back to its original position. We didn't waste our efforts in finding it and bidding for it."
Jordan smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness. If you're free, I hope you can visit Highland Town. You two will always be the most welcome guests of Highland Town."
Li Du said, "I heard from my friend that Highland Town has beautiful scenery during the autumn harvest season. Maybe we'll go after a while."
"Welcome, you're very welcome." Jordan shook his hand firmly.
On the return trip that night, Li Du drove and Hans got in the carriage.
Li Du stuck his head out of the car window and asked, "Bro, can you do it?"
Hans said confidently, "Watch me. What's so difficult about driving a carriage?"
Ten minutes later, the carriage sank into a muddy puddle by the roadside. The quarter horse neighed in panic while Hans stood by the roadside in a daze.
Li Du stopped the car and said, "What's going on? Why did the horse suddenly run to the side of the road like crazy? "
Hans felt wronged and said, "How would I know? I just waved the whip, wanting it to speed up, but who knew that when it heard the whip, it would run into the wilderness. "
Li Du patted his shoulder and said, "I understand now. It has a heart that yearns for freedom."
In the end, Big Quinn and Godzilla rushed over and the four of them tried to pull the carriage up.
Big Quinn took the whip and looked at it. "It ran away the moment the whip sounded? Then this horse might not have done farm work before, but was used for riding, so it was afraid when it heard the whip. "
He got into the carriage and used a wooden stick to hit the quarter horse's butt. The quarter horse trotted and pulled the carriage smoothly.
Li Du looked at Hans and said, "Next time, don't f * cking say that you know how to drive a carriage."
Hans felt even more wronged. "Didn't you hear what Big Quinn said? This horse is not a draft horse, but a riding horse. It is afraid of the sound of the whip. How could I have known? "
No matter what kind of horse it was used for, this quarter horse was very strong and had no diseases. It was good for work.
Therefore, when Tomasson saw the horse pulling a sturdy carriage in front of his farm, his eyes lit up.
Li Du jumped off the carriage and said, "Old man, this is yours."
Tomasson put on his gentleman's hat and walked over quickly. "This is not real."
Li Du pointed to the sun in the sky and said, "It's daytime. You're not sleeping, so you're not dreaming."
Tomasson walked around the carriage, unable to contain his excitement. "God, thank God, you're giving it to me? Really giving it to me? "
"Of course," Li Du said. "In fact, other than the Amish, there are not many people who like this kind of carriage."
Tomasson patted the wooden carriage and laughed. "No, no, no, such a good carriage will be popular no matter where it is."
He stroked every log of the wagon, and stroked the big, strong quarter horse, admiring it all the way.
Hans said, "When I got my first car in my life, I was like this."
"Is it that old Ford?"
Hans said, "No, it was a bicycle. I was probably seven years old at that time."
After walking around the carriage a few times, Tomasson asked, "So, Li, my good neighbor, what do you want to exchange this carriage for?"
Li Du said, "I don't want to exchange anything. It's just that I often pick vegetables and fruits from your farm. I feel a little guilty, so I want to give you a gift."
"But this gift is too expensive," Tomasson said.
Li Du said, "If I say that I didn't spend any money to buy this carriage, maybe you won't feel this way."
Tomasson quickly shook his head. "No, no matter what, this is a very expensive gift. I can't accept it for no reason. That would be too much."
Li Du said, "How about this, in the future, I will still come here to pick vegetables and fruits. I might even ask you for some wheat flour. I hope you won't reject me when that time comes."
Tomasson said, "If that's the case, then my and my friends' fields will be open to you. You can pick whatever vegetables you like. Just treat this field as your territory."
Both parties agreed on this. Tomasson happily drove the carriage home, while Li Du and Hans returned to the campsite.
On the way, Hans rubbed his chin and said, "You did a good job. You don't have to spend money on vegetables and fruits in the future."
Li Du laughed. "Of course. Why do you think I gave him this gift? The Amish organic vegetables can't be bought in the supermarket. "
On the evening of the carriage, Sophie called Li Du. "Hi, Li, it's me. Come to my house quickly. Ah Ow is about to open her eyes. She's trying to open her eyes!"
Li Du said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
Sophie said, "You have to hurry, hurry up! The first life that a dog sees when it opens its eyes will be deeply engraved in its mind, especially the Czech Wolfhound! "
Li Du knew this. He drove the Hellcat as fast as a flying car.
