Chapter 13 A Different First Acquaintance
In the evening, after we got off the plane, we went straight to Ao's house, Ao's Seafood Restaurant.
The old dragon king and his seven wives warmly received us, and frequently toasted me and foreign Taoist priests during the banquet, without any royal shelf. His wives also came forward to introduce themselves, and I saw all kinds of exotic animals like visiting a zoo.
The eldest wife was already the same age as the old dragon king, but she had gorgeous red hair, and she stood up and smiled heartily at us, and said, "Hello, I'm Phoenix Immortal." You can call me Aunt Huang. β
Me: "Isn't it a phoenix?"
Foreign Taoist: "The phoenix is the male and the phoenix is the female." A little knowledge, okay. β
"But, aren't the phoenix and the phoenix a couple? This old dragon king is not righteous, how can he break up people's families. β
Aunt Huang laughed and said, "Xiao Meng, this kid is really funny, Fengxian is my brother." β
I scratched my head: "I can't take it, the poem "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" is known to all ages." β
After that, he shook his head and sang:
"The phoenix returns to its hometown and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix. β
The old dragon king explained with a smile: "Rumors, just rumors. That's just a misunderstanding of the ancients about the blind worship of ancient beasts. It's like some people say that Confucius is their country. β
I had to scratch my head in embarrassment, feudal superstition really kills people, it seems that I really have to learn from the foreign Taoist priests when I go back. Otherwise, in the future, my eyes will be black, I won't understand anything, and I will be thrown into the face of the underworld.
The second wife smiled at this time, spoke in a thick northeast accent, and saluted me with a wine glass: "I am a snake fairy, you can call me Aunt Bai, your master Lao Cui and I are also old Tiezi, if there is anything in the future, just say anything." β
I smiled and took the glass and drank it down.
Then, a mature woman in her early thirties, who was bright and smart, stood up, smiled at me euphemistically, and said, "I am your third aunt, and you have seen my son Ao Shuai before." β
Me: "Is it biological?"
Third aunt: "?"
I scratched my head and said, "It's nothing, the difference between you and his appearance is too big." β
The third aunt smiled knowingly and said, "He has been pampered a lot since he was a child, if there is anything wrong, I hope you will be more considerate." β
Me: "No, no, he doesn't have any other troubles except for his large size and space. β
The priest kicked me hard under the table, and kept putting vegetables on my plate.
whispered viciously: "So many dishes can't stop your mouth!"
So, I stopped talking, and let the rest of the harems start to introduce themselves one by one, just humming and chirping while eating with my head down.
It's just that I didn't listen to what the old dragon king and the harem said later.
After all, the legendary Tsingtao prawns and caviar by pot are much more attractive than the dragon king of an unknown river and his cows and sheep wives.
After I had eaten and drunk, I burped, rubbed my stomach and said, "As a dragon king, aren't all these seafood your people?
The old dragon king explained with a smile, "It's all written in a novel, I have lived in the water for many years, what else can I eat if I don't eat shrimp and crabs?"
Think about it, it's also a descendant of the dragon, so you can't eat water and grass every day to live.
The foreign Taoist priest glared at me with disdain, and said, "Brother Meng, how many times have I told you, we are in it, and we must start from ourselves, put an end to feudal superstition, and watch the world with the development of science." After that, he pointed to the table, "This, this, and this, these three dishes are packed, and you can go back to the hotel in the middle of the night for supper." β
The harems of the old dragon king looked at us with an embarrassed face, and the old dragon king coughed and said, "The two of you are really high!, not extravagant and wasteful, not corrupt to eat and drink, and the dishes that can't be eaten are packed home, this kind of thrifty style is really a model for us to learn!"
After hearing this, the harem reacted instantly, so they chirped together and said that they wanted to learn from us.
"That, two, the little girl and the Tokai family......
I put the unopened bottle of red wine in my pants pocket and said, "Uncle Chen said that he doesn't know much about young people, so let's two help persuade the thirteenth princess, there is no generation gap to communicate better, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea will try his best to persuade him, but I don't know if the other party will give him face, anyway, we just do our best." β
When the old dragon king heard this, his frowning brows finally relaxed, and he laughed happily
"There are two Laos, Ao Mou thank you here!"
At this time, the waiter handed us the packed meal, and the two of us said goodbye and hurried back to the room.
"Dog, you know this thirteen princesses, tell me why she doesn't agree to marry someone else? It stands to reason that marrying into a wealthy family is not the dream of all girls?"
The foreign Taoist priest shook his head and said, "First of all, the thirteenth princess is not that kind of person, which can be clearly seen from the fact that the pheasants he caught when he was a child always gave me meat and only ate his legs. β
I whispered, "Isn't it good to keep the best food for yourself?"
"You know what! Hungry (I) don't say no, play no!"
"Okay, okay, if you say no, it's not. Can you not jump out of tongues in a hurry?" I saw that he jumped out of tongues again because of his anxious eyes, and I had no choice but to agree with him.
"Secondly, what kind of person is the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea? That is the lord who was once cramped by Nezha? His deeds are known to everyone! Would you like to marry you?"
I was shocked and said, "Yo! It turned out to be him! No wonder I am so familiar with the Dragon King of the East China Sea, it turns out that it is the master!"
The foreign Taoist priest said disdainfully: "After a long time, you still don't know who the bridegroom is? β
"Your family's history book will write the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea?"
"Even if he doesn't have it in the history books, he can be regarded as a representative of the second generation of Chinese and foreign officials in ancient and modern times, and you still don't know him?"
"Didn't I think it would be him, after all, how many years have it been since the Shang Dynasty, who knows how long he will live. But then again, what did the old dragon king think, he was actually willing to marry his daughter to a disabled person who was cramped. β
The foreign Taoist priest looked at me helplessly and said, "That's all from the previous life, and Ao Bingdu has been reincarnated twice." β
"And what else is she not happy about?"
The foreign Taoist shook his head and said: "This, I don't know, now the thirteenth princess is closed by his father, and when you see her tomorrow and ask, you will naturally know the situation." β
I nodded and said, "Okay, then what are you waiting for, hurry up and wash up and sleep, there is business to do tomorrow." β
The foreign priest grabbed me and said, "I haven't finished my sentence yet. And one last point, this one is important. β
"What's the matter, you say. β
"Can you please stop calling me a dog in the future. My name is Gardon!"
"Okay dogs. β
"It's not a dog, it's a gardon"
"No problem,. β
βgardon!β
"Got it. β
"You ......"
"Is there anything else?"
"It's okay, you can sleep. β
"Good night,. β
......
At six o'clock the next morning, I woke up early. The foreign Taoist priest on the side was still asleep.
As a first-time traveler, I didn't want to waste my limited travel time (although technically speaking, it can only be regarded as a business trip) on my bed, so I decided to go downstairs for a walk.
However, I was disappointed with the results.
After turning three streets, I regretted to find that the soy milk fritters here are no different from the lame old seven families downstairs in our community.
So, disappointed, I carried two portions of soy milk and four fritters and walked back.
When I walked to the door, I suddenly saw a young woman carrying a big bag on her back, with broken steps, sneaking out of the door.
I walked up quickly and asked, "Hey, what are you doing!"
The woman was startled, dropped her backpack and turned to run.
Yo, there's a thief early in the morning. It seems that the thieves in this city have a different time to steal than we do there, and it is popular here to enter the house early in the morning.
Actually, I'm not a nosy person. But for the sake of yesterday's warm hospitality from the old dragon king, I can't stand idly by. (I swear, it has nothing to do with the thief's looks!)
So, I lifted up my trouser leg and chased after him.
Who knows, this seemingly weak woman is not slow at all. I ran three blocks after her, but I was still 10 meters away from her.
Just as I was about to be thrown away, a black sedan suddenly appeared in the air, and several men jumped out of it, subdued the thief, and escorted him to it.
Seeing this, I hurried up non-stop, and before the car started to leave, I followed in.
I sat in the back seat, gasped and said, "Ouch, this little thief is running too fast." Fortunately, I had a few of you in plainclothes to help, or maybe she would have slipped away. She's a repeat offender, aren't you? Have you been here for a long time?"
Several big men looked at me blankly.
I looked around and it was awkward.
A strong man in the back seat was reaching for a towel to plug the woman's mouth, while the other passenger in the front seat was holding a gun to the woman's head.
It seems that this is not the legendary police catching thieves, but the scene that is often seen in movies - kidnapping!
At this critical moment, I made what I thought was a wise choice.
"Girl, you ran too fast just now, you forgot to take breakfast, you see, this soy milk is still hot, drink it quickly." β
As he spoke, he stuffed soy milk and fritters into the woman's hands.
I clapped my hands and said, "Since it has been returned to its original owner, there is nothing else to do, you go on, and I will not bother you." β
With that, he turned around and opened the car door.
All these actions were done in one go, and all the big men were stunned on the spot, without any reaction.
Just when I had already stepped out of the car door with one foot and was happy in my heart, a woman's cry for help came from behind
"Brother Meng, help me!"
I secretly said badly, and was about to pull out my legs, only to see a big hand behind my back carry me into the car.
Immediately, there was a roar, and the car drove off the street.
