Winslow was considered near Flagstaff. They had arrived more quickly than they normally would have when driving to an auction. But since the town was big, Li Du and the group hung around from morning until late evening.

When traveling around the town, Li Du felt that the song ”Take It Easy” was very relevant to the town; the town was very comfortable and relaxing, like the theme of the song.

The antiquated building looked older under the sun, while the leaves from the maple trees had become bright red—even brighter than the sun.

At times, kids riding bikes could be seen passing by, laughing and screaming in joy. Li Du laughed along with them.

There were markets in the middle of the town which was open throughout the day and night. The vegetables seemed less fresh in the evening, the parsley and rosemary and rhubarb withered.

Nonetheless, there were still people buying stuff. After all, it couldn't be worst than what they had at home.

Li Du passed through the crowd. Looking around, he saw someone selling preserved, salted cabbage. They almost looked like Brussel sprouts: small in size, even smaller than a ping-pong ball; the color was dark green, which looked cute to him.

Brussels sprouts were both vegetables and fruits. They were common in America, and people loved to buy them. Brussels sprouts were considered a healthy vegetable because they were high in vitamins and reduced cholesterol levels.

Meanwhile, preserved, salted cabbage was a kind of snack. Li Du saw many people lining up in front of the shop, so he followed them. He bought some and continue traveling around the town.

In the evening, Li Du reached the main street of the town. Some people passed by him with quick steps while some smiled under the warm setting sun, and suddenly he felt lonely.

The people he saw were either couples or families, hanging around to join the carnival.

This made him think of his parents, and his loneliness could no longer be contained. He took out his phone and called his parents. After that, he called Sophie. ”Hey honey, did you get back from work?”

”No, I haven't, but soon. I'm packing up. What's wrong?” Sophie asked.

”Nothing,” Li Du said. ”I was just thinking of you, and I missed you badly. I'm on the street in Winslow. There are couples and the surroundings are beautiful too. You'll definitely love this place.”

Sophie heard his loneliness in his tone and comforted him, ”Oh, honey, my lovely Li, I miss you too. I'll be with you soon, just wait a bit longer.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Du turned his head and glanced back. An ocelot and a raccoon were behind him, and a little wolf stuck her head from out of a backpack. It looked like Li Du wasn't that lonely after all.

The group hung around the street until late in the evening when the sun started setting. As Li Du looked around for a place to have dinner, his phone rang. It was Hans. ”Hey, where are you?”

”In Winslow, like I told you before?” Li Du found it odd Hans had forgotten.

”Which part of Winslow? Looks like someone from the treasure hunters might have met you.”

Li Du looked around but couldn't see anyone familiar to him. ”I'm at Dawn Street, but I don't see anyone.”

”Alright,” Hans answered and immediately hung up the phone.

Li Du shrugged this off and continued searching for a restaurant with specialty dishes.
