Chapter 4 Backpackers

Gao Lixue and I returned to the door of the hotel and saw that Yang Chuxia had already gathered at the door with a large group of travelers.

"Why are you two coming back now? Yang Chuxia said into the microphone with a pennant pole.

"I'm sorry. I've kept you waiting. I apologized.

Yang Chuxia walked to the door of the shuttle, "It's okay, it's okay, we're also getting ready to go." ”

"Tour guide Yang, what is the name of this hotel? I don't know Thai, I can't read the font on the signboard. ”

"Hotel Mano. ”

I took Gao Lixue's left hand and walked on the shuttle bus, and sat down in an empty seat near the window......

"Are your feet better?" I asked Gao Lixue with concern.

Gao Lixue looked at her heels, "My feet are better." ”

"Let's just slow down. ”

"Why do you always carry a school bag?"

"Because I'm a backpacker. I usually love to travel, and I always have a book and a water bottle in my bag. ”

"By the way, your grandfather called you the Thai benefactor you were looking for. Did you find it?"

"I haven't found him yet. ”

"What's his name?"

"Dinida. ”

"Bangkok, Thailand is so large and crowded, where do you go to find it?"

"Let it be. ”

On the shuttle bus, Yang Chuxia stood behind the driver, took the microphone and introduced: "Now I will lead you to visit the most famous Buddhist temple in Thailand - the Emerald Buddha Temple. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha was built in 1784 and houses the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, the Bell Tower and the Golden Pagoda and other places of interest......"

An hour later, we came to the gate of the Jade Buddha Temple, surrounded by a green meadow, surrounded by golden spires, golden tops, white walls, and large white lacquered pillars erected in front of the door, the spires reaching into the sky. The spectacular building in front of you, tall and magnificent......

We lined up to check in to enter the Jade Buddha Temple, and the pagodas were shining in the sun. The statues of the gods next to the tower have strange postures, but they are all lifelike.

"It's free time! 30 minutes later, we will gather here again. Yang Chuxia shouted at everyone.

The crowd gradually dispersed, each visiting their favorite spots......

"Xu Lixue, come over here. ”

"What?"

"I noticed that the man in the fancy dress and black sunglasses was always staring at the two of us. There are so many beautiful scenery here, he doesn't even look at it. He just stared at the two of us. Don't you feel something isn't right?"

"What's wrong with that? This girl is pretty, and he looks at me. You look like a pig's head, do you think he looks at you?"

"Don't stink!"

"Do you want me to hit you?" Xu Lixue bit her lip lightly, clenched her fist and shook it around, "Say it quickly!"

"It's not. ”

"Count you as acquaintances. This girl spares you from dying!"

Next, we followed the guide to take the shuttle bus to the water market in Thailand - Damnoen Sado.

Dennoen Sado is a place of close contact with the local people, and the riverbank is lined with rows of houses and shops selling intricate commemorative crafts, as well as jewelry, hats, clothing and other goods.

Small wooden boats selling goods shuttle through the canal, vendors wear distinctive straw hats, and while paddling their oars with their hands, they shout loudly to buy and sell vegetables, as well as pineapples, bananas, mangoes and other fruits, many small boats are crowded in the narrow river, causing traffic jams in the canal, presenting a lively scene.

Because of this, Dnoensardo attracts many foreign tourists.

Xu Lixue and I rented a small wooden boat, about three meters long and one meter wide, and picked up the oars and rowed into the water leisurely......

Xu Lixue stood on the small wooden boat and walked around, causing an imbalance in weight and buoyancy, and the small wooden boat swayed......

"You don't want to walk around in the small wooden boat. You sit down. Wait a minute, just in case you accidentally overturn the boat. "I lifted the oars from the water.

"I think it's a fun little wooden boat. ”

At this time, I was surprised to find that two people were rowing hard from a distance of more than ten meters in another small wooden boat......

I took a closer look and was amazed: these two people, one was a man in a flower suit wearing sunglasses who was following us, and the other was the suspect wearing a hat lady I met at the door of the hotel!!

An Englishman watching the excitement on the canal picked up a beer bottle, gave a thumbs up, and shouted: "Go! Come on! Move quickly!"

"Xu Lixue, be careful! I hurriedly persuaded.

As soon as I finished speaking, the small wooden boat was slammed into by the other party and leaned to the side......

"Oops!" Xu Lixue's body swayed, unable to maintain balance.

Suddenly, the man in a fancy dress jumped on a small wooden boat and snatched my school bag. I tugged hard at the bag to prevent him from snatching it from my back, but he tore off one of the straps of the bag.

Seeing that the man in the flower dress hadn't grabbed my schoolbag yet, the lady in the hat took advantage of the situation to make more trouble, and pushed her into the water with both hands while Xu Lixue was not paying attention.

With a plop, Xu Lixue's body fell into the water, and she called for help: "I can't swim, save me!!"

Xu Lixue stretched out her hands and struggled desperately on the horizontal plane, and after swinging waves of water circles, the whole person sank to the bottom......

I can't care about that much. I hurriedly unloaded my schoolbag and let the man in the flower dress snatch it......

I jumped into the canal quickly, the water inside the river was very muddy, and I couldn't see much of an object. I spread my hands and feet in a posture like a swimming frog.

Where is Xu Lixue?

I was desperately searching for ...... underwater.

I accidentally touched someone's hand, could it be Xu Lixue's hand? I hurriedly reached out and fished for a while, hoping to find her.

I used all my strength to keep swimming in the water, and finally held Xu Lixue's hand to prevent her from being swept away by the current. If the current washes her away, it will be difficult. I quickly swam to her side, wrapped my right hand around her waist, paddled with my left hand, pedaled with both feet, and swam with buoyancy......

Xu Lixue's and I heads finally surfaced......

I took a deep breath of fresh air through my nose, feeling a burst of coolness in my nose, a sense of relief from my depression, and a feeling of comfort.

At this time, a Thai grandmother kindly stretched out a bamboo pole, and I hurriedly held the bamboo pole with my hand, only to feel that my body did not sink to the bottom of the water.

I finally rescued Xu Lixue on the small wooden boat and found that she was unconscious.

Xu Lixue won't die, right? Don't scare me!

I hurriedly pressed Xu Lixue's chest twice with both hands, then supported her chin with my right hand to tilt her head back, and then pinched her nose with my index finger and thumb with my left hand, and blew into her mouth twice, each time for one second, and continued to blow down......

Xu Lixue woke up in a coma and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw me kissing her......

Xu Lixue hurriedly turned her head and pushed me away with her hand, "Gao Qidao, what are you going to do?"

"I'm giving you artificial respiration. ”

"You're taking advantage of me. Xu Lixue finished speaking in surprise, and let out a slight coughing sound, "Ahem-cough." ”

I picked up Xu Lixue's back with my right hand, "It's okay if you're okay." ”

"My first kiss was ...... by you"

"I was also the first kiss. ”

"Who were the two people just now?" Xu Lixue got up from the small wooden boat.

"They're gone. "I pulled my phone out of my pocket and found that the display screen wouldn't light up.

"What's wrong with your phone?"

"The phone is broken. It may be that when swimming just now, the mobile phone was flooded and the circuit board was short-circuited. ”

"I'll give you a new phone. ”

"No need. ”

"For the sake of saving me just now, I still want to give you a new mobile phone!"

"You didn't break the phone on purpose, why did you give it to me?"

"But you're also saving me...... I'll send you back when I get home. ”

I stood up from the small wooden boat and said to the wrinkled, kind-faced Thai grandmother, "Thank you!" Maybe she didn't understand Chinese, but she still had to be polite and thankful.

At this time, Yang Chuxia walked over, "Xu Lixue, why are your clothes soaked?"

"I was pushed into the water. ”

"Who pushed you into the water?"

"I don't know. ”

I saw that the Buddhist bead bracelet sold by my Thai grandmother was very good-looking, so I wanted to buy a Buddhist bead bracelet to show my gratitude to her.

"Guide Yang, can you help me ask this old woman, how much is this Buddhist bead bracelet?"

After Yang Chuxia asked the Thai grandmother about the price of this Buddhist bead bracelet, she turned to me and said, "300 baht." ”

At this time, behind the Thai grandmother came a young girl of about twenty years old, wearing a golden white blouse, golden patterned trousers, and long black hair. The girl hands a delicate plastic lunch box to the Thai grandmother with both hands.

When the girl heard us talk, she asked curiously in Chinese, "Are you Chinese?"

"Yes. I replied.

"I studied Chinese. My teacher teaches Chinese at school. ”

"I see. ”

"My name is Kanissa and this is my grandmother, Pad Junya. ”

"Your grandma is very nice. I gently put my right hand on the old man's back.

"Next time I'm going to travel to China as well. ”

"Yes! ”

"Why did you want to travel to Thailand?"

"Because I'm looking for someone else. ”

"Who are you looking for? Maybe I can help you. ”

"A man named Dinidabang. ”

"I know this person. He was the father of my college girl classmate, Tessana. ”

"That's great!"

"Tessana is here tonight. You can talk to her about it. ”

"Now go to my house. I invite you to see our family's Marber show. ”

"Who's Marbo?"

"It's an elephant in our family. ”

"Okay!" I readily agreed. At first, I thought Marber was a human name, but I didn't expect it to be an elephant.

"I still have some things, so I'm not going. "Yang shrank the pennant pole in early summer.

Xu Lixue's eyes rolled around, and she hesitated, "I'm going to see the elephant too." ”

Together, we helped Padejunya pack up the small goods on the small wooden boat and prepare to collect the stall and go home......

"This elephant, my grandmother has been raising it for years. Our family has a special affection for it, and it also performs acrobatics, spins hula hoops and paints with its long nose. However, the good times were short-lived. A group of hooligans wanted to buy the elephant and make handicrafts out of ivory. Our family resolutely refuses to sell, so they often come to provoke trouble. Kanissa whispered with a sad face.
