Flagstaff was not far from Winslow, so they arrived in the morning. However, the town was huge, and Li Du swam from morning to afternoon, all the way until evening.
Wandering around the town, Li Du felt that the Eagles' song suited the place very well. "Take it easy." It was about taking it easy, and the townspeople's lives were very easy.
The pace of life in the small town was slow. It was autumn, and the air was crisp and dry. In the morning, everyone would come out to dry their quilts, and in the evening, they would bring their quilts home.
Under the sunlight, the old buildings seemed to have gone through the vicissitudes of life. The leaves of the maple trees by the roadside turned from green to fiery red, redder than the sun, as if they had a different kind of passion.
From time to time, children on bicycles whizzed past. They were shouting and laughing loudly. Li Du could not help but laugh along when he saw them.
There was a market in the town that lasted all day. In the afternoon, the vegetables in the market were no longer as fresh. Parsley, rosemary, rhubarb, and so on looked wilted.
However, there were still many people who came to buy. After all, the vegetables in the market were fresher than those at home.
Li Du weaved through the crowd. There was a small stall selling brined cabbage. It was a type of cabbage spore. It was very small, smaller than a ping-pong ball. It was dark green in color and looked very cute.
This type of cabbage was a vegetable that could also be used as a fruit. It was quite common in the American market. Many housewives liked to buy it. It was considered a healthy vegetable that was rich in vitamins and could lower cholesterol.
Brined cabbage was considered a snack. Li Du saw a lot of people queuing up, so he bought one and continued to shop while eating.
In the afternoon, he walked on the street, watching the tourists coming and going with brisk footsteps, then looking at the smiling faces everywhere, and the setting sun in the west, he suddenly felt a little lonely.
That was because the tourists he saw were either in pairs or in whole families. The whole family was together.
This reminded him of his parents, and a sense of loneliness appeared in his heart.
He took out his cell phone and called his parents. Then, he called Sophie. "Hi, honey. Are you off work?"
Sophie said, "Not yet, but soon. I'm packing. What's wrong?"
Li Du said, "It's nothing. I just miss you very much, all of a sudden. I'm now on the streets of Winslow. There are many couples here, and it's very beautiful. I'm sure you'll be satisfied when you arrive. "
Sophie heard the loneliness in his voice. "Oh, my dear boy," she said, "I miss you too. Wait a little longer. I'll be with you soon."
After hanging up the phone, Li Du looked at the ocelot and raccoon behind him. There was also a little wolf in his backpack. It seemed that he was not alone.
He wandered the streets until evening. The sun was about to set. He was about to find a place to eat when his phone rang. Hans asked, "Where are you?"
Li Du was puzzled. "Winslow, didn't I tell you?"
"Where in Winslow? I think there are treasure hunters over there. They might have bumped into you. "
Li Du looked around but did not see any familiar faces. He said, "I'm in the middle of Daybreak Street. I don't see anyone familiar …"
"Oh." Hans casually answered and hung up the phone.
He didn't mind the call and was ready to continue looking for a special restaurant.
But not long after, a familiar roar of an engine sounded, and the figure of the Hellcat appeared on the street, speeding toward him.
There were many Hellcats in America, but there was only one that he was familiar with. He didn't need to look at the license plate to know that it was his car.
The car stopped beside him. The door of the front passenger seat opened, and Sophie's beautiful figure appeared in front of him. The lady doctor looked at him with a smile.
She was obviously in a hurry. She was dressed casually, wearing a furry sweater and a cobalt blue knitted dress.
However, this casual combination had an unexpected effect. The knitted fabric brought out the warmth of autumn. The clothes were loose, a little cumbersome, but Sophie tied a ribbon around her waist and tied a bow to change the style into a slim and attractive one.
Suddenly seeing Sophie smiling sweetly in front of him, Li Du's heart jumped a few times. He rubbed his eyes in surprise and said, "Is this an illusion?"
Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles' reactions proved that it was not the case. They happily ran toward Sophie. Ah Ow was making a fuss in the backpack, letting out childish howls and rushing into Sophie's arms.
Sophie squatted down and hugged Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles. She raised her head and smiled. "Surprised?"
As she raised her head, two strands of golden hair danced on both sides of her face, like slender elves.
For a moment, Li Du didn't know what to say. He went up to Sophie and hugged her tightly. He murmured, "This is really a surprise! I still can't believe you suddenly appeared! "
Hans leaned against the window and looked out. He muttered, "Maybe I should find a stable girlfriend? D * mn, this looks good. "
His car stopped there and blocked the road. The car behind him honked. "Beep beep beep!"
Hans turned around impatiently and shouted, "Be quiet, buddy. Can't you see a pair of lovers taking a romantic bath? Can't you cooperate? "
Sophie smiled and waved her hand. "Big Fox, thank you for driving me to Li. Goodbye, I won't treat you today."
Hans said helplessly, "You're too cold. I mean you two. Yes, you're too cold. Alright, let me go find Godzilla. I need to get drunk tonight. "
"I'll treat you, but hurry up and get lost." Li Du didn't look at him when he said this. He kept holding Sophie's hand and looking at her.
At this time, the street lights came on. The sun had almost set, and night had fallen in the small town.
The small town at night had a unique charm. The gentle rhythm was the same as usual, but without the heat of the day, there was more of a hazy night.
The night wind blew, and the leaves rustled. Li Du smiled. "This is a piano piece, right?"
Sophie listened attentively, and at the same time, her fingers danced lightly. Then she said, "Yes, 'Concerto of Love.' It has a wide range, and there's a long lingering sound and a sonorous rhythm. The main theme of the music is simple, like ripples in the water, surrounded by waves, advancing layer by layer …"
Listening to her analysis, Li Du was surprised. "No way, you really heard it?"
Sophie, who was seriously introducing the music, burst out laughing. She covered her mouth and laughed. "Of course not, I'm just teasing you."
Looking at her smiling eyes, Li Du looked at the rising crescent moon. He felt that although the crescent moon was elegant and noble, it was not as moving as Sophie.
After laughing, Sophie put down her hand and was about to speak. Li Du hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her gently.
