In the afternoon, they started to work.
It was mainly Hans, Big Quinn, Lu Guan, and Godzilla, with Li Du helping them. Compared to the Americans, he, as a pure Chinese, was not good at this kind of manual work.
The men's secret base sounded impressive, but in fact, it was just making a strong and light iron shelf, installing four wheels under the shelf, and then putting home appliances inside.
They brought back several brand new appliances from Las Vegas. These appliances were all unopened, but even so, if they were sold to a grocery store, they would still be treated as second-hand goods.
However, if they were placed on this iron shelf, with the relevant certificates, they could be sold as new goods.
The group of people quickly finished. They used iron pipes and iron sheets to form the main body of the secret base, and the next step was to paint it.
Li Du asked, "What color paint? I'll go paint it. "
Hans was not sure and said, "What color do you think is suitable?"
Lu Guan guessed, "Gold? How about gold? It looks very stylish. "
Big Quinn said, "White. White looks relaxed."
Victoria, who had been helping Li Du, gently tugged at his hand and whispered, "Why paint? How good would it be to put a layer of wallpaper? Wouldn't it be better to use a log pattern wallpaper and put some green plants in the empty space? "
Hearing her words, Li Du and the others nodded. This idea was better.
Also, using wallpaper could make the shelf more stylish.
It was getting late, and Li Du wanted to send Victoria back.
Victoria lowered her head and refused to leave. She did not speak or move, just sat at the door of the small house with her head down and her small schoolbag in her arms.
"What's wrong?" Li Du asked her.
She did not speak and treated him with silence.
Li Du sat next to her helplessly and said, "What's wrong with you? Don't you have anything to say? Why, has Wonder Woman become a little taciturn? "
Victoria pursed her lips, her eyes sullen.
Hans said, "Can't you tell? Victoria doesn't want to go back. "
Li Du could tell, but what could he do? Victoria was registered at the welfare home, and she had to go back at night.
Hearing Hans's words, Victoria finally spoke. She said timidly, "You have a tent here. Can I sleep in the tent? I want to sleep here. "
Li Du shook his head. "That won't do. Victoria, you have to go back. Mother Mesa will be worried about you. Your friends will miss you."
The little girl looked sadly at the setting sun in the west and said, "I don't have any friends. They don't like to play with me."
Li Du wanted to persuade her, but Hans stopped him. He called Mesa and said, "Mom, Victoria is staying with us tonight. Don't worry."
During the day, they had communicated with Mother Mesa. Now that she heard that Victoria did not want to come back to sleep, she said, "No, Hans, tell her that mother misses her. Let her come back. Mother can sleep with her."
Hans said, "She doesn't want to. This child lacks love. Let her stay here. She's quite happy with us, unless you don't trust Li and me and think that we're bad people who will threaten Victoria."
Mother Mesa laughed and said, "You know I won't think that way. I know you're all good lads. But if Victoria moves out, what about the other children? "
Hans said shamelessly, "You can have a headache about this. Haha, I don't care. Alright, let Victoria and Li's pets stay together for a while."
Mother Mesa still refused. Li Du thought about it and took the phone. "Mother Mesa, this is Li. I would like to persuade Victoria to stay with us. We will prepare a room for her, a private room."
The black lady smiled bitterly. "Li, it's not that I don't trust you, but the welfare home has rules. The children have to follow the rules."
Li Du said, "I understand, but Victoria needs special treatment. You may know that she has a psychological problem. I think if she stays with my pets more, she won't feel lonely and happy. That might help her."
Hearing him say this, Mother Mesa was silent.
After some thought, she agreed and said, "This child's psychological problem really needs to be solved. I hope you can help her. I once wanted to hire a psychiatrist for her. But I hope you can understand me. Our financial pressure is too great. "
Li Du understood. Mother Mesa not only had to take care of these children, but there were also some elderly people and people with physical and mental disabilities in the welfare home.
After hanging up, he said to Victoria, "Alright, little tail, you can stay with us from now on."
Godzilla waved to her. "The biggest bedroom in there is for you."
The little girl suddenly laughed. It was the first time she had laughed all day.
The next day, he took Victoria around the surrounding jungle and picked some wild vegetables and fruits. Ah Meow and Ah Ow worked together to catch two wild rabbits and a pheasant. They had game for lunch.
In the evening, Li Du brought a narwhal tooth and prepared to meet the Martins.
Victoria helped him put a layer of light yellow wallpaper with brown wood grain on the box, which looked even more beautiful.
If Victoria wasn't so young, Li Du would really like to hire her as his assistant. The little girl had a good eye, was diligent and clever, and was very likable.
She stayed there that day and cleaned when she had nothing to do. By the time Li Du and the others realized that she was working, the house had been tidied up.
After driving to the hospital, Li Du picked up Sophie. After kissing her, he asked, "Hi, darling, how are you feeling today?"
Sophie said, "Very good, just a little busy. The scaffolding at a construction site collapsed. Four poor people were injured, and we had to do emergency treatment."
Li Du drove on the road and stepped on the accelerator to the suburbs, asking her about the injuries of the workers.
The car was driving on the road. Halfway through, in the middle of nowhere, there was suddenly a motorcycle coming from the opposite direction. The driver swung his arm, and something smashed into the window.
Li Du was shocked and quickly stepped on the brakes, at the same time turning on the windshield wipers.
In the end, it was better not to use the windshield wipers. The windshield wipers sprayed water out, and the window immediately smoked and became cloudy.
"D * mn, what happened?" Li Du opened the door to get out to see the situation.
At this moment, several motorcycles came up from the front and back. A group of people wearing helmets and whose faces could not be seen clearly rushed over.
Li Du subconsciously thought of the kidnapping case not long ago. He wondered if he could be so unlucky. He had just been kidnapped in Las Vegas, and now he was going to be kidnapped again in Flagstaff? He couldn't be so unlucky!
