Li Du rejected Hans's suggestion.
If he hadn't fallen in love with Sophie, and if he hadn't harvested so many gemstones from the national park, he might have been interested.
Traveling auctions were hard and tiring work, and the word "traveling" was just a way to make fun of it.
Treasure hunters who participated in traveling auctions were not going out to have fun, but to make money. They wanted to go to a foreign land and try their luck to find treasures among a group of foreigners.
This was a very difficult process. Firstly, the environment had changed, and they needed to adapt to the new environment. Secondly, the journey was tiring, both physically and mentally. Thirdly, there would be a lot of resistance from foreigners.
Just like the Tucson Brotherhood had taken over Tucson City, treasure hunters from other states also saw their own territory. How could there be no conflict when going to other people's territory to snatch food?
Traveling auctions depended entirely on luck. They would go wherever there was an auction, and without insider information, it would be difficult to find valuable storage units.
Another point was that Li Du and his team had a base camp in Flagstaff. If they found something, it would be best to bring it back. That way, the journey would be long and the price would be high.
If they didn't bring it back and sold it locally, the profit would be too little, and Li Du wouldn't be interested.
He shook his head and rejected, "Forget it, I'm not going. It's almost Christmas. We'd better stay here and rest for a while."
Hans said regretfully, "Rest for a month? That would waste a lot of time. "
Li Du said, "There won't be any storage auctions this month, right? Even if there aren't any good storage units, we can enter other industries, like old goods trading? "
There were old goods trading treasure hunters coming and going at their base camp every day. Li Du had a good understanding of the market, and felt that it was an interesting industry. He could give it a try. Last time, he had tasted the sweetness of the old goods market, and the little bug had absorbed a lot of time energy.
Hans spread out his hands and said, "You're the boss, you call the shots. The old goods market is not easy. Are you sure you want to enter a new industry?"
Li Du casually snapped his fingers and said, "Relax, buddy, it's all simple."
He wasn't just saying it. He really planned to go to the old goods market when there were no storage units.
At the beginning of December, the breath of winter had completely enveloped Arizona.
Arizona was an inland state with a subtropical continental climate. It was either dry or semi-dry throughout the year.
This state had two very obvious characteristics. One was that the air was relatively dry, and the other was that the sky was relatively clear. Combined, the temperature was relatively high.
The southern part of the continent was a desert. The temperature there was very extreme. The lowest temperature was about -40 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature was about 53 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference was huge throughout the year.
Flagstaff, where Li Du and the others were, was located in the northern part of the central region. Overall, the climate was better, so rich people liked to come here to buy houses for vacations.
However, the evaluation of Flagstaff's "better climate" applied to spring, summer, and fall. During these three seasons, most of Arizona was dry and hot. As Flagstaff was close to the Grand Canyon and the Colorado Plateau, the temperature was lower, and it was more comfortable to live there.
But when winter came, the temperature in Flagstaff became colder.
Li Du woke up in the morning wearing a leather jacket. Feeling a little cold, he picked up Ah Meow and placed it on his lap.
He drove to Sophie's house to drop her off at work before heading to the campsite.
As he drove on the road, he looked out. At this time, the ground was covered in silver frost. The smell of winter was very strong, and there was not much green on the trees and on the ground.
A few reindeer wandered in the wilderness. They had come from the nearby forest park and came to the farmland in search of food.
Some Amish people rode in carriages with their dogs to the farmland to protect their crops. Now that there was an overpopulation of wild boars and deer in America, the Amish farmland was their favorite canteen.
Ah Ow leaned on the window and looked out. When she saw the reindeer or deer, she would howl excitedly.
This was her nature. Ah Ow's blood flowed in her veins as she hunted in the wilderness.
On the road, Li Du met the Amish's neighbor, Tomasson. He stopped the car and greeted, "Hey, old buddy, good morning."
Tomasson was riding in the carriage that he had sent out. The carriage had very wide seats. He sat in the middle, with two fierce-looking Tyrant dogs on each side.
Tyrants were muscular dogs. They looked big and fierce, but in fact, they had a very gentle temperament and were very popular companions for Americans.
The two Tyrant dogs were already adults. They squatted on the carriage seats and looked around majestically. Needless to say, they were specially trained by Tomasson to chase away wild boars and deer.
The Tyrant dogs looked very scary, and their barks were even more frightening. Not only were people afraid of them, but wild animals were also afraid of them.
However, as previously introduced, they had a gentle temperament, were timid, and were not aggressive. They would not hurt people around them, so they were especially suitable to be raised by people to chase away wild animals.
Before Tomasson could say anything, they saw Li Du poking his head out of the carriage. The two Tyrant dogs barked first, "Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof! "
With its glaring head, ferocious teeth, fierce eyes, and small ears, the Tyrant Dog proudly showed off its strength to Li Du.
However, they did not know that there was a really strong thing in Li Du's car.
The windows of Li Du's car were all closed. Ah Ow was previously locked in the car, so the Tyrant dogs did not notice her.
However, she found the Tyrant dogs, or rather, she saw prey.
Needless to say, for the Mexican wolf, these dogs were food, and it could kill them in one bite.
Originally, she was locked in the car and had no interest in the Tyrant dogs. However, when she found out that they were barking at her, she suddenly became angry. Oh, is this a provocation?
Ah Ow burrowed into Li Du's arms from the back seat, then used her head to push his head away. Her hind legs kicked, and she jumped out of the window as if she was stepping on a spring.
After jumping to the ground, Ah Ow stretched her body, raised her head, and let out a long howl. "Ow ow! Ow ow ow! "
The wolf's howl was loud, sharp, and shocking. The sound traveled far in the wilderness. Some of the deer that lived in the wild and had seen wolves before were so frightened that they immediately ran away.
The Quarter horse that was pulling the carriage was also frightened. It neighed loudly and was about to run away in panic.
Tomasson hurriedly pulled it back and got out of the carriage to stroke its neck to calm it down.
The Quarter horse quieted down, and the Tyrant dogs panicked.
Ah Ow's limbs trembled, and she easily jumped onto the carriage. Her front paws grabbed the seat, and her hind legs supported her on the ground. She stretched her neck, opened her mouth, and howled at the two Tyrant dogs, "Ow ow ow!"
Wolf teeth that were far more ferocious than dog teeth were revealed, and the two Tyrant dogs were so scared that they peed their pants.
It was not an exaggeration. Li Du saw that a pool of water quickly appeared between the legs of the two Tyrant dogs. They were so scared that they peed their pants.
