Chapter 26: Peril

The public bathhouse, which is still old-fashioned and has not been renovated since it was built, is open through a short hallway that houses the changing rooms.

The locker room is filled with the smell of sweat that has been deposited for decades, and it is conceivable that the smell of old sweat in the men's locker room must be even more intoxicating.

As the little girl at the door said, there was no one in the locker room.

There was also no sound of rushing water in the bathroom.

After all, the people who come to this public bathhouse to bathe are the people who live nearby, and the people who live nearby are the poorβ€”the poor men, after all...... There are relatively few women who can mix so badly.

More than 99% of the homeless people on the street are men, and the reasons are more complex, for example, women are more resilient and hard-working in the face of adversity, as long as they are willing to endure hardships, they can still find a job, while once men are hit, they are more likely to give up on themselves and become wasters, and then be devoured by heavier and heavier inertia.

In addition, women are more concerned about personal privacy and are less inclined to go to public baths, and even if they usually come to take a bath, there are far more men than women, not to mention that it is still morning.

"What, sure enough, there's no one, so I'm nervous......"

Jiang Chanji temporarily put his heart back in his stomach, chose a locker in the corner, and began to undress.

"In short, a quick solution, just wash and wash. ”

"Why don't you go in and take a shower, what are you talking to yourself here?"

The immature childish voice that suddenly sounded behind him almost caused him to suffer a cardiac arrest!

"Wow!"

He quickly turned his head to look, and instantly his face turned pale, and his hands were raised in a gesture of surrender.

"I didn't do anything!

Behind him was the little girl playing minesweeper at the door, wearing slippers and carrying a small plastic carrycot with children's slippers, folded change of clothes, towels, bottled shampoo and bottled shower gel, glaring at him suspiciously.

"Wait!" Jiang Chanji stammered and pointed to her small basket, "What are you going to do?"

"Nonsense, of course, in the bathhouse, what else could you do? Are you here to eat?" she asked curiously.

"No, it's not that I'm asking, it's why are you taking a shower now?"

"The bath water in the morning was clean and no one had used it yet. She said in a natural tone, and at the same time she had to undress......

"Wait a minute!"

She had a point, and when you think about it, she did.

If you plan to take a bath in a public bathhouse, it is best when it first opens in the morning, the water is clear and pollution-free, and it will not be mixed with strange things, and the landlady sent him to take a bath so early probably because of this......

But!

No matter how reasonable it is, he can't accept it!

What is the current situation?

If you let others see it, it will cause a terrible misunderstanding, and there will be nowhere to cry out if you are beaten to death on the street!

"If you come to take a shower now, no one will look at the counter!"

Jiang Chanji was in a hurry, and finally came up with a suitable excuse.

"Your bathhouse is not doing very well, and it would be even worse if someone took advantage of it and didn't pay for it...... Your parents let you take care of the counter, you can't live up to the trust of your parents, if you don't establish a sense of responsibility from an early age, you will become a waste when you grow up, how can your family trust you to inherit the bathhouse?" he admonished earnestly.

She stared at him in surprise, "What are you talking about? I just temporarily helped take care of my mom when she went to the bathroom, and now that she's back, of course she doesn't need me...... Besides, my mom is still very young, and I don't plan to inherit the bathhouse. ”

Jiang Chanji was speechless for a while.

She stared at him suspiciously, "Why do you always think you look suspicious? Are you here to take a shower? Are you really going to go to the men's bathroom to make a big news?"

At this time, someone outside shouted, "Zixuan, have you started washing?"

"Not yet. The little girl responded.

"Help me get the mop out of the locker room. ”

"Good. ”

When the kid named Zixuan took the mop out and came back, he saw that the locker room was empty.

"Tsk, isn't it just a flat-chested person, what's there to be shy about...... Too much self-awareness!" she muttered to herself, "There are not ten flat-chested women I see in the bathhouse every day, but eight ......."

The words she occasionally confides are actually a little beyond her age, but it is basically true, the public bathhouse is like a demon mirror, and the four major Asian evil arts and magic chest pads will all be beaten back to their original shape when they are honest......

She could see at a glance that Jiang Chanji was coming to the public bathhouse for the first time, and she didn't care too much about his strange behavior.

Many people who are used to taking a bath at their own house always feel cramped like a lost puppy when they come in for the first time, and some women with excess self-consciousness feel like they are being stared at by others, but in fact, everyone is here to take a bath, and the body structure is the same, and the makeup and figure after removing makeup are not alluring, who is interested in seeing you?

The size of the bathroom is not small, half of it is a rippling blue bath, and the other half is a shower area.

In order to accommodate more showers, the shower area is divided into three rows.

There are two baths, one large and one small, the former is deep and large, and the water temperature is high, and the latter is shallow and small, and the water temperature is not so high, probably for teenagers and children.

Jiang Chanji took advantage of her going out to hand over the mop, rushed into the bathroom, and jumped into the large bath without thinking.

"It's hot!"

Most of the people who like to come to the bathhouse to take a bath are people who do physical work, and after a busy day, take a hot bath to relieve fatigue, so the water in the bath is very hot, and the bathroom is foggy.

Although the water temperature was so high that it was like shedding the hair of a pig, Jiang Chanji still endured soaking in the water, so that the surface of the water never reached his neck, not even his chin.

After a few seconds, his face was flushed with heat.

Bang bang bang.

Zixuan changed her slippers, walked in with the basin, and saw through the fog that there was no one in the shower area, and a head was exposed in the bath, with the back of her head facing the door.

"Really...... Do you have a little bit of morality, wash it and then go in and soak it......" she grumbled, not deliberately lowering her voice.

The people who came to the public bathhouses were poor people, and their bodies were not clean, and they were covered with oil and dust, especially the men's bathhouses.

Although they are poor, their demands are not low at all, and if everyone takes a bath without washing their hair and body first, the pool water will be dirty in a short time, and then they will shout for a change of water.

It's very expensive to boil such a large pool of water!

Jiang Chanji stubbornly didn't hear it.

Zixuan first went to the shower area to wash her hair and body seriously.

She washed her head and foamed all over her body, and suddenly said, "Don't worry, I've seen a lot of people who are flatter than you." ”

There was no one else in the bathroom, of course she was talking to Jiang Chanji.

Jiang Chanji knew that she was comforting herself, and if he was a girl, she might be grateful, but as a boy being comforted like this, she could only have mixed feelings in her heart.

After rinsing off the foam, she sat down on the edge of the children's bath, put her legs into the water to adjust to the temperature, and slowly immersed herself in the water.

"Whew, it's so comfortable!" she narrowed her eyes pleasantly.

He was hungry and dizzy from the hot water, but he gritted his teeth and did not dare to leave the pool.

Zixuan is young, her tolerance to hot water is worse than that of adults, and she can't stand it after soaking for three or four minutes, so she leaves the bath and returns to the dressing room to get dressed.

Jiang Chanji heard her leave, finally breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and left the bath and slipped to the shower area to wash her hair and body, after all, it was rare to come to the bathhouse once.

After a while, Zixuan dried her body, got dressed and walked out of the dressing room, only to hear her voice say outside: "Mom, I'm done washing, why don't I come to the counter and you go in and wash?"

Jiang Chanji: "!!"

His mood is like a roller coaster, one moment rushing to the peak, the next falling back to the bottom, and now he has derailed and hit the mountain.

He rinsed his hair and the foam off his body as fast as he could, his eyes fixed on the direction of the bathroom entrance, lest an adult figure emerge from the mist.

He then trotted back to the locker room, where there was no buffer zone and was theoretically more dangerous.

He put his clothes on his body so haphazardly that he buttoned them off, and it wasn't until his shirt and pants were all on that he collapsed with relief and felt like his heart was almost jumping out of his throat.

If you continue like this, sooner or later you will have a heart attack!
