Li Du entered the hotel and said, "Not bad, not bad. This style is quite unique. It's all brown mud bricks. What's the route?"
"The route of water shortage," Hans laughed.
Li Du asked curiously, "What?"
Hans explained, "This is a Spanish-style mud-brick house. The courtyard inside is a mud-brick courtyard. It's a very old Spanish style.
"The brown mud bricks you see are a local characteristic of Tucson. It's dry all year round and there's no rain for a long time, so they use mud bricks that are dried by the sun."
Li Du said, "If it rains, won't this house be finished?"
Hans shrugged. "But it just doesn't rain. It doesn't rain much all year round, and even if it does, it's only a light drizzle. So it's not a threat to these hard-as-rock mud bricks."
Li Du had learned something new. Tucsonians did not have the leisure to prepare for a rainy day. If it were him, he would be worried about living in such a house.
This hotel was very famous and the service was good. If a guest brought a child under the age of 14, they could add a bed for free and provide a midnight snack for the child.
There was a lush garden in the hotel, which was a rare environment for a desert city.
Behind the garden was a swimming pool, and in front was a library, forming a resort. People could have a cup of coffee on the porch and then go to the library to read for a while. When the weather was hot, it was nice to rest in the garden or relax in the swimming pool.
In addition, pets were allowed in the hotel. Each pet had to pay an extra fee of 20 dollars a day, and pets over 10 kilograms had to pay 40 dollars.
Fortunately, Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles were not over 10 kilograms, so Li Du could spend less.
After using the little bug all morning, Li Du was inevitably tired. When he arrived at the hotel, he took the three little ones into the garden and found a quiet corner to drink coffee.
There was also a croquet court next to the garden. Some people were enthusiastically playing this game that he had never seen before. It looked quite interesting.
Croquet was an outdoor ball game played on flat or lawn with a mallet through a gate. It originated in France, spread to England in the 13th century, and then to Scotland and Italy in the 17th century.
It was not until the 19th century that the game spread to the United States.
However, Americans liked the game and soon established the National Croquet Association to promote it. The game was a little like golf, but easier.
Ah Meow could not stand people playing with balls. When he saw the colorful balls on the lawn, his eyes suddenly lit up.
When Li Du put him down to rest, he jumped up and ran to the lawn.
Mr. Li was exhausted and did not have the strength to chase after Ah Meow. He could only shout from behind, "Ah Meow, come back, come back!"
When Ah Meow saw the ball, it was as if it had seen a fish. It didn't listen to Li Du's commands and ran over to pounce on the ball. It jumped up and landed on the ground, using its claws to press down on the ball. Then, it swung its claws at the ball.
Croquet balls are small, about the size of billiard balls, and they are of the same material, very hard and heavy.
This time, Ah Meow was in trouble. His claws hit the bone and it hurt. It was so painful that Ah Meow whimpered a few times and stumbled back.
With this lesson, it behaved itself for a while. However, it soon found a new hobby, which was catching fish.
There was a pond in the garden. According to the Chinese garden style, there were goldfish and other ornamental fish in the pond.
Crispy Noodles was the first to see these ornamental fish. Its furtive eyes glanced at them, and it quietly ran over, waving its claws to catch the fish in the water.
These poor ornamental fish had never encountered such a situation before. Usually, those who watched them were gentlemen and ladies. They wouldn't feed them casually, let alone catch them.
Crispy Noodles, on the other hand, wanted nothing more than to jump into the water. Its two claws were flapping rapidly in the water. A flustered fish bumped into its claws and was slapped up!
Ah Meow's eyes lit up. Fish!
Li Du was physically and mentally exhausted. He had no choice but to chase after the two rascals. He scolded, "Can't you have a moment of peace? Get your ass back here, get your ass back here! "
Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles thought that everyone was playing together, so they ran around the pool. Li Du could only try his best to catch the two of them.
When he returned to the rest area, Ah Ow was gone again.
This time, he was anxious. Ah Ow was too young. If she was taken away, it would be troublesome. Sophie would be even more upset. It was hard to say whether she would continue to be in a relationship with him!
Just as he was about to call the attendant to check the surveillance, Ah Ow ran out again. Her little belly was round. She found a place to squat and pee.
She peed here and there. She peed happily in the corner of the garden.
Li Du lay weakly on the bench. He was so tired that he wanted to cry. Why are these little rascals so troublesome?
While she was peeing, Ah Ow's nose twitched and she suddenly started to dig in the sand.
Li Du turned his head and said weakly, "Ah Ow, stop digging. Dig, dig, dig. Dig your mother's watch. Come back, behave!"
However, Ah Ow's little paws were quickly digging in the sand. Soon, a small hole was dug.
Li Du was too lazy to pay attention to her and simply let her dig. Anyway, this was a garden and it was all mud. He could just bury it later.
After digging for a while, Ah Ow suddenly ran over with something in her mouth. She ran to his side and used her front paws to grab his pants, trying to climb on him.
Li Du looked down and saw a bracelet in Ah Ow's mouth. It was inlaid with some beautiful red and blue stones. However, it seemed that the stones had become less clear after a long time.
It looked like a fake gemstone bracelet. However, he was not sure if it was a real bracelet, so he called out the little bug to see if it was interested.
It was an unintentional move, but the result surprised him.
After the little bug appeared, it flew excitedly to the bracelet and quickly sucked the time energy in it.
Li Du wanted to call it back, but considering that the bracelet was dug out by Ah Ow from the soil, it was an ownerless item. It should not be a problem for the little bug to absorb the time energy in it.
As the little bug sucked, the bracelet became older and more and more broken. Finally, it lost its luster. The gemstone inside cracked and turned into pieces.
When the little bug finished absorbing the time energy, Li Du held it in his hand and looked at it curiously. However, when he touched it, the remaining part of the bracelet shattered.
Seeing that Li Du was interested in the bracelet, Ah Ow happily barked at him. Then she ran to the small hole and dug even harder with both paws.
Li Du felt strange. How could there be a treasure buried here? So he went up to take a look. As Ah Ow dug bigger and bigger, more and more things were revealed!
