Chapter 90: False Accomplices
I also laughed: "How can such a simple truth be fooled?"
The man looked at me unkindly: "And you are talking about cool things, are you a customer or who are you? Are you the clerk of this jewelry store? Tell me the truth!" I said how could I be a clerk, otherwise I would have avoided it a long time ago.
"What, you said the shopkeeper and the clerk were out of the way?" the woman asked immediately. I immediately knew that I was gone, thinking that this woman didn't know whether she was smart or stupid, let's say smart, even Huang Chengcheng's low-level deception is believed, say stupid, and I will be able to find out the loopholes in my words immediately. I defended that I wasn't a clerk, and the two didn't believe it at all, so they said I was.
I had no choice but to say: "Actually, I'm just a friend of Huang Chengcheng, and I also came to him to do something, probably because I saw that you were not good, and scared him away." ”
Unexpectedly, this was even more troublesome, and the two asked: "You just said that you were a customer and came to buy something, but now you have become a friend of Boss Huang again? You liar! This is our hard-earned money, my son's college tuition, you unconscionable things, how can you even cheat this kind of money? Is there any humanity?" Now I couldn't tell clearly, and the more the two scolded, the more energetic they became, and the man even started to pull my collar. This man was taller and stronger than me, and it was definitely useless to do it, so I had to dodge left and right in the jewelry store, and finally ran out of the jewelry store and ran away. The two of them chased after me desperately, like thieves, and if I hadn't been young, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape.
Running from the street into the alley, I turned around a bend, I just knew how complicated it was, and I just got rid of those two as soon as possible. I don't know what kind of place this is, the streets are lined with shops and stalls, and the more I run, the narrower and more chaotic the place becomes, much like the kind of shantytowns that were not demolished in Shenyang more than ten years ago. All of them are dilapidated bungalows, built without rules and regulations. I ran headlessly in the streets and alleys so that my eyes were black, my heart was about to jump out, and I panicked and actually entered a dead end.
I hid behind an old freezer covered with tarpaulin, with only half of my head exposed, and watched the movement outside. There were two little boys who were four or five years old next to me, squatting and playing with plastic toys, and they were very curious to see me, and they had to come and get close to me. I was anxious, and I didn't dare to make a sound, but fortunately, after two or three minutes, I didn't see anyone chasing me, and I guess I was lost, so I dared to come out slowly.
The place was so chaotic that I couldn't find my way at all, so I had to take my breath and walk down the street. This place should be the slum of Thailand, although the terrain is complex, but it is colorful and sells everything. Selling pork, fruits, meat, shrimp and seafood, selling ornaments, as well as snack shops with a lot of vegetable pots and spices, and even selling Buddhist cards. Two old tables are put together, which are full of acrylic shells and card bodies of Buddha cards, which are basically rectangular and triangular clay Buddha cards, and the Dharma is also similar to Chongdi's sitting Buddha, the color is dark and light, all gray bar, at first glance I thought it was specially selling dirt.
Anyway, there was no danger, I walked to the Buddhist card stall, the owner was a middle-aged man, wearing a gray shirt, his hair was disheveled, and his face was happy. When he saw me coming, he smiled and said a few words of Thai. Excitingly, I was able to understand two of the sentences, which probably meant "which one are you going to buy" and "very cheap". I picked out two pieces at random and asked him the price in stiff Thai, and the answer was only 50 baht, which is 10 yuan.
I guess I heard that my Thai was very poor, and the man smiled and asked me where I was from, and I could understand half of the sentence, so he replied Chinese. He hurriedly shook hands with me and said something in a loud voice. I didn't understand very well, let him speak slowly, probably from the key words he said that the Chinese are very rich and enviable.
I don't know what the motive is, I actually paid for two Buddhist medals, and then matched them with a white bright metal acrylic shell of 100 baht each, each piece is only 30 yuan, and the shopkeeper enthusiastically helped me glue it with all-purpose glue, and even gave me a card with a bilingual mantra printed in Thai and Roman pinyin. I asked the owner what this place was, and he told me that this place was called Klong Toey, and I took out a map of Bangkok from my purse, which marked this place in Chinese as Konte, and there was a big vegetable market, and people nearby liked to buy vegetables, because it was fresh and cheap, and there was a BTS station not far away.
Leaving the amulet stall and passing by the fruit stall, I took out 15 baht to buy a large and fragrant green mango, and the owner helped me peel the skin with a knife, and the flesh was also cut into small pieces, which I could hold in my hand and eat while walking. Mango is so sweet that I eat it while sighing that the Thai people are so happy, and the price is so cheap.
In the direction of the owner of the Buddhist stall, I finally walked out of here and came to the street, took a motorcycle, and returned to the street of Huang Chengxin's jewelry store according to my memory. In order to avoid being chased again, I asked the motorcycle to stop at a distance of about 100 meters from the jewelry store, and after paying the money, I asked the owner to continue driving forward, and asked him to observe whether there was a man and a woman arguing with the owner of the jewelry store called "Tai Chengxin".
The motorcycle drove over and stopped at the door, and the rider turned around and waved at me before signaling me to come. I put my heart in my stomach and walked to the door of the store, where there was only one clerk. Seeing me come in, the clerk was a little surprised, I asked Huang Chengcheng, the clerk may not have been relieved from the nervousness, and actually told me that Boss Huang had gone abroad.
"Alright, let him come out and tell him that you have to invite me to dinner, and those two will chase me down!" I sat down. The clerk hurriedly slipped through the side door, and came out again after a while, followed by Huang Chengcheng, who shrunk his head. When I saw him, I didn't get angry, and stared at him.
Huang Chengcheng smiled: "Where did Boss Tian go just now, and how long did he come back, is he visiting the local customs of Bangkok?"
I snorted: "I still don't know the local customs, but I have learned the human touch of your boss Huang first." You ran so fast, you disappeared before anyone entered the store, and I was chased by those two people, and they all went to the vegetable market in Conti!" Huang Chengcheng hurriedly explained, saying that it must be another misunderstanding, there are too many people holding things that they didn't buy from my store, and insisting that they are my goods, which is really helpless.
"Why are those people targeting you, saying that all the bad things have something to do with you? Are you contracting all the black pots of the Chinese in Bangkok?" I couldn't help but laugh.
Huang Chengcheng said angrily: "How can I be a chicken? It's really silver sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven! A law-abiding merchant like me, Huang Chengcheng, is always attacked and ostracized by others, and they are all peers of those Chinese businessmen. Alas, they all say that peers are enemies, I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it!" "I was about to vomit when I heard it, and I didn't understand who Huang Chengcheng learned from this unashamed kung fu, that teacher is simply a man of God, and can teach Huang Chengxin such a high disciple."
