"Hand in Hand Travel"

Author: Lu You

Chapter 1: Meet Bangkok

"Hello, please fasten your seatbelts. "A beautiful flight attendant in a red uniform came over and checked them one by one and reminded each passenger.

I looked out of the oval glass window of the plane at the blue sky in the distance: the floating white clouds were like huge cotton hanging in the air......

Every time the plane took off, I felt a tearing sound in my ears, a slight pain, probably due to the gravitational pull of the earth and atmospheric pressure, as well as the screeching sound of the plane's propellers.

I hurriedly covered my ears with my hands and closed my eyes to feel less uncomfortable than just now.

"Are you alright?" asked the beautiful girl sitting next to me, tilting her head with concern.

This girl is about 20 years old, with a white face, a lively and cute ponytail, and a pure white dress like Snow White.

I was dizzy, felt the sky spinning under my feet, and slowly opened my eyes, "Once the plane lifts off, I'll be fine." Thank you for your concern. ”

"What are you doing in Thailand this time?"

"I traveled to Bangkok. ”

"Me too!" the girl happily stretched out her index and middle fingers in a V-shaped motion.

"So, we're the same travel agency. ”

"Yes. The girl nodded.

"What's your name?"

"Xu Lixue. ”

"It's a good name. ”

Xu Lixue gently hit her chin with her right index finger, "What about you?"

"Gao Qidao. ”

"Heh, heh! Really?" Xu Lixue smiled.

"My father helped me choose my name based on the verses. The Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You has an ancient poem "Village Dwelling": It can brew people to divide small trees, and Taoist priests who love chess send new pictures. ”

"I see. In this way, your name has quite a connotation. It's easier to remember if my name says that - lots of beautiful snowy scenes. ”

"I remembered. ”

I'm twenty-five years old and working as an assistant in a detective agency owned by my uncle. The job of going to work is to organize the information. Live the life of a single cat every day, eat alone, go shopping alone, and watch movies alone......

When I was in high school, my Chinese teacher wrote in the conduct column of my parents' notice: diligent, kind, and logical.

"What do you do?" I asked Xu Lixue curiously.

"I'm still a student and I'm a sophomore this year. Do I look big and old?" asked Xu Lixue with wide eyes and doubts.

"No, no, I'm just asking. ”

We had a great chat, time passed quickly, and before we knew it, we were in Bangkok, Thailand.

The two of us walked down the non-slip stairs of the plane together......

"Gao Qidao, can you help me take a photo with my phone?" Xu Lixue handed me the phone.

"Yes. I took the phone and pointed at Xu Lixue, "Smile, eggplant." ”

"You're so naïve. Xu Lixue smiled slightly.

Bangkok Airport's tall and spacious fiberglass frame building, brightly lit, white tiled floors, and rotating baggage claim area are bustling with people......

At this time, there is a group of guides holding pennant poles to receive tourists......

After I saw the sign of the travel agency that I signed up for, I walked over and asked, "Hello, is it Yang Chuxia's tour guide?"

"Yes. A woman of about thirty-five years of age, wearing a red cap, turquoise jacket, and light blue jeans, shouted into the microphone: "Now I will click on the name, and when I read the name, I will reply: "Arrive! ”

Half an hour later, the shuttle bus drove to the entrance of a palatial hotel, with two rows of green trees planted on both sides of the door, two large straight columns, golden exterior walls, blue glass windows, and transparent glass doors, and two neatly dressed waitress were standing inside.

"The hotel arrived. Please get off the bus and remember to bring your luggage. Yang Chuxia shouted into the microphone.

At this time, an elderly couple struggled to carry a heavy suitcase and moved slowly.

"I'll help you both get out of the car. "I stepped forward.

"Okay, thank you. The old lady thanked her.

I picked up my heavy suitcase with both hands and walked out of the bus......

Suddenly, I saw Xu Lixue accidentally fall from the car door, and hurriedly hugged her with both hands, "Be careful!"

"Ahh

"Are you alright?" I asked with concern.

"Oh! it hurts. Xu Lixue hurriedly squatted down.

"Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

"I'm fine, it's not that serious, it's just a skin injury. It's just that walking is a problem now. ”

"I'll help you into the hotel to find some iron and medicine to wipe off. I stretched out my right hand to hold Xu Lixue's left hand, and I felt a warm current rushing up to my heart, inexplicably nervous, and my heart was beating.

Xu Lixue was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, and she lowered her head and whispered shyly, "It's okay." ”

"You go slowly. I gently took Xu Lixue's left hand and walked.

After showing our ID at the front desk, we limped into the elevator.

"What floor do you live on?" I asked.

Xu Lixue looked at the room card, "Room 602 on the sixth floor." ”

"You live next door to me, I'm room 601. "I was a little surprised, it was such a coincidence.

Suddenly, a Thai man with dark skin and a scar on his face like a poisonous centipede walked into the elevator and shouted loudly: "Worship!"

I couldn't understand Thai, so I asked Xu Lixue, "What does he mean by what he said?"

"I don't know Thai either. ”

At this time, Yang Chuxia also walked into the elevator.

"Tour guide, what does the Thai word "Libai" mean?"

"Bow down means get out of the way. ”

The Thai patted Yang Chuxia's sleek buttocks with his right hand, squinting and squinting, with a sinister smile on his face.

"Why are you like this?" I said sternly.

The Thai clenched his hands into fists and made a provocative pose ready to fight.

"The lift arrived. Xu Lixue reminded.

The Thai straightened his chest and swaggered out of the elevator......

"Who is he, guide, so arrogant!" I asked angrily.

"His name is Sughlava. He's the head snake here. He was sentenced to three years in prison for rape. He is a boxer by profession. I often travel here with groups, and I also listen to the waitress at the front desk. ”

"No wonder it's so arrogant. Xu Lixue was a little angry.

"What is the police number in Thailand? I'm going to call the police to arrest him!" I asked Yang Chuxia.

"It's — the table card in the room has the phone number of the Thai police printed on it. I'm going to be busy. After Yang Chuxia finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and left.

Yang Chuxia is a tour guide who often leads groups to Thailand, so it is impossible not to know the phone number of the Thai police, why didn't she say it and asked me to see the table phone? Could it be that she was timid and afraid of things or had something else hidden?

I took Xu Lixue's left hand and walked into the room, "You sit down, I'll help you untie your shoelaces and look at the wound." ”

"Hmm. ”

I untied Xu Lixue's white shoelaces with both hands and took off her socks, and found that she had a bruised wound on her right foot, "It seems that the injury is not light!"

"I don't know how long it will take?" Xu Lixue frowned.

"It may take ten days. ”

"Wouldn't it be inconvenient for me to walk there for so long?"

"Yes. You wait for me here, I'll go to the front desk and ask if there is any iron medicine?"

"You're so nice. ”

"Where, I'm stupid. ”

"I'm really bothering you. ”

I walked out of the room and took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, "Hello, is there any iron medicine wine here?"

"Yes. "I was surprised that one of the waitresses could speak Chinese. She pulled out a medicine box from the white wooden cabinet.

"Thank you. ”

"You're welcome. ”

I went back to my room and opened the lid of the medicine box, carefully dipping a cotton swab in alcohol, "Now I'll use alcohol to help you reduce inflammation of the wound." ”

"Does it hurt? If it hurts, I don't dare to rub the medicinal wine. Xu Lixue turned her head and refused.

"It shouldn't be painful, because your wound isn't bleeding, it's just bruising. ”

"Okay. ”

"Now I'll help you wipe your wounds with medicinal wine, so that the medicinal wine can disperse the blood and bruise so that you can recover quickly. "I used a cotton swab soaked in medicinal wine to evenly apply the wound on Xu Lixue's right foot, and then bandaged it with white gauze to prevent infection of the wound and reduce the pain of rubbing against her shoes.

Suddenly, there was a thud in the next room, like the sound of something breaking.

"What's the noise outside?" asked Xu Lixue curiously.

"I'll take a look. I hurriedly got up from my chair.

"I'll go too. ”

"Are your feet alright?"

"Just hold me. ”

When we walked out of the room, we met a middle-aged woman with a round sun hat on her head, a pair of black sunglasses on her face, a white mask on her mouth, and a low-cut long skirt with a panicked expression and hurried away......

"What's the matter with her?" Xu Lixue looked at the running woman.

"She's running so fast, what's going on?"

We walked to the door of room 603 and found the yellow wooden door half-covered and half-open......

Xu Lixue glanced into the room, "There is a person lying on the floor in the room, as if he is not awake. ”

"Will something happen to him?" we will rush him to the hospital!" I hurriedly pushed open the yellow door.

We were amazed to see that the boxer, Sugrava, was lying motionless on the floor with his arms outstretched, with a broken vase beside him......

"What's wrong with him?" asked Xu Lixue curiously.

"I don't know. I shook my head.

"Is he dead?"

"I'll take a look. "I approached Sugrava and squatted down, touched his heart with my hand, and found that it had stopped beating," he was already out of breath. ”

"Ahh

"I don't know much at the moment because there is not enough evidence. ”

"Look, there's a fingerprint with black ink on the ceiling overhead. ”

I looked up and took a closer look: the white ceiling was about five meters from the floor, how could there be a fingerprint on it so high?

It's puzzling.
