Chapter 58: Strange People
After eating at the teacher's house, Canghai returned home, went to go through the formalities of going abroad the next day, and flew to Los Angeles after waiting for it to be done, and it was not the first time to come, this time Canghai was much more relaxed than the last trip, and directly rented a campsite, and then rented a car and ran over.
When I arrived at the place, I saw that the original group of guys were still there, and the RV I rented last year was still empty, so I stayed lively.
This trip is a little better, from time to time someone asks Canghai for a drink, to participate in a party or something, anyway, I can mix one or two activities a week, and my life is much better than the last time.
The only thing that makes Canghai depressed is that the trees here don't seem to welcome their arrival, and every time they touch a tree pole, Canghai has a feeling that someone has given him a middle finger. Fortunately, the tree can't speak, and Canghai's dough is thick enough, plus they are all American trees, and Canghai doesn't take it seriously, so he has been relying on it.
That night, Canghai returned to the camp, and found that there were also guests in the camper next to him, and he stretched out his head to look through the window and saw that there was a figure moving around, and after looking twice, he took a bottle of wine and went to the camp administrator to drink some wine.
Before he had walked a few steps, he heard the door of the camper behind him open, and when he turned his head, he found a chubby middle-aged man in his fifties walking out of it.
This middle-aged man still looks like a Chinese, not only looks like a Chinese, but also has a familiar official temperament on his body, and when he looks at this person, he thinks that he is an official nine times out of ten, and he is also a domestic official.
"You're also here for a tour?" Cang Hai greeted in Chinese.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw Cang Hai speaking Chinese, and then quickly recovered, smiled at Cang Hai, nodded and turned around and returned to the camping van.
Canghai felt that this person's reaction was quite strange, but he didn't dig deeper, and continued to drink with the camping caretaker with wine.
That's it, Canghai has a mysterious neighbor in the campsite who is often bored in the campervan, Canghai still leaves early and returns late, but this one hardly leaves the camper except when purchasing daily necessities and food.
After getting along for a month, Cang Hai learned that the middle-aged man's surname was Gu, his name was Gu Peng, and he was a Chinese who came over for a vacation with an American green card.
Of course, these are all said by Gu Peng himself, Canghai feels that this is not very reliable, people of his age generally have to bring a wife or something when traveling, but this person doesn't bring anything, and the English is really average, and he can simply pop out a few English words from his mouth.
People, get along with each other and get acquainted, with a month of getting along, Gu Peng also slowly became friends with Canghai, the two chatted from time to time, Canghai would also take him to participate in one or two small wine bureaus, and within two weeks Gu Peng became familiar with the surrounding administrators.
In addition, Canghai and Gu Peng have nothing to do with each other, and Gu Peng didn't ask Canghai what he was doing here, why he lived for so long, and Canghai didn't ask Gu Peng how he came to this place where birds don't lay eggs.
After getting along like this for almost a month, seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to come, Canghai took a few foreigners from the campsite to celebrate the Chinese New Year together.
The New Year is indispensable Spring Festival couplets or something, so Canghai drove an old pickup truck borrowed from the administrator to go to the city to purchase New Year's things, mainly some things for dumplings, and dumpling filling, soy sauce and other messes, there are many Chinese here in Los Angeles, and it is very easy to find a Chinese supermarket, so it is not difficult to buy these things.
When I returned to the campsite, when I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw a car parked next to me, and two young people, a man and a woman, were standing next to the car, stretching out their hands to greet them.
Canghai thought that people were encountering some difficulties, so he pulled over the car and prepared to help out or something.
"Excuse me, how do I get to the camp in National Sequoia Park?"
As soon as the car stopped, Cang Hai realized that this man and woman were all Asian-looking, and in terms of temperament and facial expressions, nine out of ten were Chinese. The man's appearance is one meter eight, his slightly chubby face is filled with a very comfortable smile, the woman is also quite tall and more than one meter seven, tall and live is a clothes rack, and the face is also good-looking, but because of a pair of big sunglasses stuck on his face, he can't tell the level of his appearance, but from Canghai's observation, he is probably a beauty.
"Do you speak Chinese?" asked Cang Hai.
"Do you speak Chinese?" the man had a surprised look on his face.
Canghai smiled: "I'm from China, I'm here to hide, aren't you going to the campsite in Sequoia National Park, go, I'm also going there, you just follow me."
When the man heard this, he smiled and said, "That's a coincidence, buddy, then we'll follow you."
"It's okay, I'll take it to you as soon as I can," Canghai said and started the car and drove to the front.
The two people on the side of the road got into the car and followed Canghai's car, so the two cars drove in the direction of the campsite one after the other.
When they arrived at the camp, the caretaker was chatting with Gu Peng under the canopy at the entrance of the camp, and when they saw Canghai driving back, the two stood up with a smile.
"Everything has been bought?" Gu Peng asked with a smile, his eyes resting on the car behind Canghai as he spoke.
Canghai said with a smile: "I bought it, and on the way, I met two compatriots who also came to camp, they got lost at the foot of the mountain, and I brought them over."
As he spoke, a man and a woman behind him got out of the car, and when Gu Peng saw the two of them, his whole face couldn't help but stiffen, and he turned white again in a moment.
"I'm a little uncomfortable, go back to the car" After speaking, Gu Peng turned around and left.
Canghai and the administrator were both stunned for a moment, but they quickly recovered, because Gu Peng was often like this, and everyone thought that he was a little spiritual.
A man and a woman who got out of the car were very generous, and showed the check-in voucher in their hands to the administrator, and then the administrator took the two of them to stop the car, and then assigned the camper.
Canghai naturally unloaded all the things, took back his campervan, and put everything in order, Canghai stood at Gu Peng's door and knocked lightly on the door: "Brother Gu, Brother Gu, do you want to get some medicine to eat if you are not feeling well?" or see a doctor?"
"No need, Brother Cang, I'll just rest for a while, you can go with your business" Gu Peng said in the car, his voice was very low, revealing a sad meaning.
Canghai said: "Then what do you call me?"
Hearing a sound from inside, Canghai raised his feet and went back to his camping van, began to make lunch, and after eating, he continued to take the tent and go to the depths of the forest, and set up a formation between the General Sherman Tree and the General Grant Tree, and began to suck.
These days, Canghai has absorbed the essence of life and has made the brick walls around the space furnace inky, but Canghai did not give up, thinking that he had consumed so much life essence by getting a kiwi tree, and he couldn't suck as much as he could this time, so he continued to suck, ready to suck until he had to leave.
There's nothing wrong with absorbing life essence, anyway, no one can see it except for Canghai, and there's nothing wrong with it except that it's a little boring.
However, when Canghai returned to the camp, he found that the two new arrivals today were standing at the door of Gu Peng's camper and knocking on the door.
"Mr. Gu, can we talk?" the man spoke in a kind voice.
Gu Peng's voice came from the camper: "I don't have anything to talk to you about."
"Mr. Koo!" the man continued.
When the woman saw Canghai coming back, she turned her head to look at Canghai, and then looked at Canghai like this, as if an eagle was looking at a chicken, which made Canghai very unhappy.
"Hey, I said you two, Master Gu doesn't want to see you, don't bother others, you're all here to travel, don't make trouble for others," Canghai said.
The man smiled at Canghai when he heard this: "Thank you for today's events, my name is Yang Yanxing, and this is my friend Lu Shu."
"Hello, my name is Canghai, the sky of the sky, the sea of the ocean" Canghai nodded at the two of them and introduced himself.
Yang Yanxing said: "Hello Mr. Cang."
"Don't call me Mr. Cang, just call me Xiao Cang, or just call me Canghai" Canghai is not used to people calling him Mr. Cang.
"Hello, Canghai, it's our first time here, can you tell us about life here?" Yang Yanxing said.
The man looks pleasing to the eye, but this woman looks a little heartwarming, although the woman who took off her sunglasses looks beautiful, but there is always a temperament that the sea does not like, not arrogant but a little cold, as if someone owes her silver.
"Okay, let's go into the house and talk" Canghai stretched out his hand and pointed to his camper, opened the door and motioned for the two to come into the house and talk.
As soon as Yang Yanxing entered the camping van, he boasted: "Canghai, you are very clean."
"It's okay" Canghai politely motioned for the two to sit down, then picked up the electric kettle and began to boil water to make tea for the two.
Looking at the two people who turned their heads to visit their camping vehicles, Canghai didn't say much, anyway, the valuable and useful things were packed in the space, and the things in the camper were stolen, and Canghai didn't feel distressed.
