In the taxi, Hans took out a stack of 100 dollar bills. There were 65 brand new Franklins.
"The storage auction cost 250 dollars, and the car rental cost 150 dollars. I'll take out 400 dollars first. There's still 6,100 dollars left. According to our agreement, you take 60 and I take 40."
Hans counted out 36 bills as he spoke. "Here's 3,600 dollars. The extra 100 dollars is for the taxi fare."
Li Du nodded in agreement. "And the interest for the car rental — we'll pay for that together."
Hans said, "Forget it, I'll pay for it. After all, we agreed that you'd be in charge of finding the storage unit, and I'd be in charge of the other stuff."
Li Du hesitated. "Well, Big Fox, aren't you curious about how I was able to find the storage unit with such precision?"
"You'll tell me?"
"No!"
"Then that's it! Since I know I won't get anything out of you, why should I ask? Will it affect our relationship? Besides, who doesn't have secrets? I'm not interested in prying into other people's privacy. "
Li Du laughed. "I like your way of thinking."
Hans said proudly, "You'll still like me in the future!"
Out of the 6,000 dollars, he got 2,400 dollars. With the addition of 200 dollars, he redeemed his old Ford F150 for 2,600 dollars.
According to the contract, the interest during the mortgage period was one-fiftieth of the car's value, which was exactly 100 dollars for two days.
As they drove, Hans turned on the car's stereo and played Reggae Godfather Bob Marley's music.
Li Du couldn't appreciate the style, so he looked out the window.
Looking at the trees receding by the side of the road, he asked curiously, "Where are we going?"
Hans smiled mysteriously and winked at him. "Now that we've earned money, the next step is to enjoy. I'll take you to a good place. It'll definitely make you feel good from head to toe!"
The good place he was talking about was the red-light street in the suburbs of Flagstaff.
Hans was obviously an old acquaintance here. As soon as he got out of the car, a few girls standing at the entrance of the hotel came up to him.
"Hey, Big Fox, you haven't been here for a long time. I thought you were dead."
"Yeah, I wanted to go to your funeral, but I didn't get an invitation."
"You have to compensate me for my tears. I even went out of my way to find my friends to look for your corpse, hehe."
Hans laughed so hard that the corners of his mouth became crooked. "If I die, I will definitely die in your bed. As for compensation? What compensation? Are you shedding tears? Do you have eyes down there? "
Li Du was stunned by the situation. He had just gotten out of the car, but when he saw the scene, he immediately opened the door and went back.
Hans called out, "Hey, buddy, come down and play with us!"
"Sorry, I don't like to play with girls," Li Du firmly refused.
Hearing her words, a young man with makeup and an obvious Adam's apple walked over quickly. He had a charming smile on his face. "Hello, sweetheart. What a coincidence. I don't like girls either. How about I play with you?"
Li Du locked the car door from the inside and turned up the reggae music so loud that it hurt his ears. He had never felt that the music was so beautiful.
Hans was also very vigorous. He stayed inside for an hour without coming out.
Li Du felt bored, so he decided to release the little bug to test it out. He wanted to see if he could discover its other abilities.
He felt that the little bug could not only be his doppelganger, but also had more powerful abilities.
The environment of the red light district was very bad. He took out his phone and looked at the map. He found that he was already in the northwest corner of Flagstaff. There was a forest outside, so he drove to the edge of the forest.
The forest in the suburbs was very dense. It was derived from the forest of the Grand Canyon National Park. There were a lot of yellow fir, western hemlock, western ponderosa pine, North American sycamore, and other trees.
Li Du got out of the car and suddenly heard a weak meow. "Meow!"
He didn't care. He had just released the little bug when he heard another meow. This time, the sound was louder.
Li Du was not a cat lover, but he could feel that the cat's meow was not right, so he followed the sound.
High up in the trunk of a Western Ponderosa Pine, he found the source of the sound. There was a trap at the intersection of the trunk and the canopy. A big yellow cat with brown spots was caught in it, meowing in fear and despair.
This trap had been modified, with gears on it. After catching the big yellow cat, the gears bit into its body. Blood dripped out, and Li Du felt pain just by looking at it.
Retrieving the little bug, he quickly climbed up the tree trunk. The big cat was even more frightened when it saw someone approaching. It desperately tore at the bark with its front claws to escape, but the struggle made the pain worse.
Li Du wanted to open the trap, but the big cat saw him reach out and immediately clawed at him. It opened its mouth wide and pretended to meow to scare him.
Seeing this, he gave up the idea of opening the trap first. Instead, he wrapped the cat in his clothes and carried it to the car to find a pet hospital.
This cat was very wild. Looking at its size, it was almost an adult. Its temperament was particularly fierce. After being wrapped in clothes, it was not afraid, but whimpered and struggled.
As a result, there was more bleeding.
Li Du was anxious. He drove into the city, but didn't know where to find an animal hospital. Later, he saw St. John's Red Cross Hospital at the intersection, so he simply ran in with the big yellow cat.
Seeing blood seeping out of his clothes, a nurse quickly came up to him and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
"It's like this: I met a cat. It's caught in a trap. Can you please find a doctor to save it?" Li Du opened his clothes to show the nurse.
The nurse looked at him as if he was crazy. "This is not a pet hospital, sir."
"Yes, I understand, but it's like us, a child of God. Look, this child is so young. It hasn't even seen what Flagstaff is like. Do you want to see it die with your own eyes? "
Li Du said this because he saw a cross hanging on the nurse's chest.
He was right. Hearing his words, the nurse didn't say anything more. "Alright, I'll take you to Dr. Sophie. She's the kindest, kindest doctor. If she can't help you, then you'll have to pray for the best!"
"But according to the rules, I need to register the patient first. What's this cat's name?"
Li Du blinked. Sister nurse, are you kidding me? Didn't I just say that I saved this cat in the wild?
"Hurry, its name. You have to have a medical record before you can enter the consultation room."
Li Du looked at the cat that was still meowing. Using his intelligence, he thought of a good name. "Oh, its name is Ah Meow. Yes, Ah Meow!"
"Meow!" Ah Meow meowed cooperatively and stretched out its paw, trying to give Li Du a poke.
From this, it seemed that it either didn't like Li Du, or it didn't like the name.
But Li Du didn't care.
