Volume 1 That Glimmer Chapter 28 The Unlucky Man

As the saying goes: "Blessings are incomparable, but disasters are not singular." "Once a person is unlucky, it is like a straw hat, round and round, continuous, and I don't know when it will end. In the Yamashiro dialect, it is called "straw hat mold".

There are not many lucky people in this world, but there are many unlucky ones, Jiang Yimiao feels that he is, and Gu Xiaoshi is the same.

However, after arriving in Zurich, Jiang Yimiao's bad luck seems to be over, what about Gu Xiaoshi?

After getting off the plane and walking out of the passage, Gu Xiaoshi's eyes lit up. Blondes, blue-eyed, black-skinned and even yellow-skinned from Asia, and a wide variety of products from all over the world can be found here, including duty-free shops, cosmetics, cigarettes and liquor, as well as fat people's favorite chocolates. Speaking of chocolate, the fat man has a soft spot, Gu Xiaoshi decided before he came, if he has the opportunity to go back during the summer vacation, he must bring some different flavors of chocolate to the fat man, who is called Swiss chocolate is famous all over the world?

Coming to a strange country, a strange city, Gu Xiaoshi didn't dare to linger, he was afraid of losing his way and delaying his trip. He thought of a way, that is, to follow the girl from a distance, although she was a little fierce, but at least from the same place, even if she was half an acquaintance, in case of any emergency, it was better to ask her for help. On the big headphones she wore, there is a big letter "B", Gu Xiaoshi knows this brand, the fat man has one, the price is not cheap, the fat man is bought for something, I'm embarrassed to say more, but most of the people who use this thing are hipsters, since they are hipsters, they must be well-informed, at least their English is good.

The girl walked very fast, all the way to the customs, Gu Xiaoshi didn't dare to get too close, separated by several people, waiting in line for customs inspection. The girl only had a small backpack, and when it was her turn to pass the customs, she took off the toad glasses, and Gu Xiaoshi found that the foreigner on duty looked at the girl in a daze, and it was probably the first time she had seen such a beautiful woman. When it was Gu Xiaoshi's turn, the girl had already successfully passed through customs and security and disappeared from sight.

After carefully checking the visa number and the avatar on the passport, Gu Xiaoshi came to the security check and was asked to put a large and a small bag into the instrument to scan. The small bag he carried quickly passed the scan, but when the big backpack went in, there was a sound of "doodoo", Gu Xiaoshi was startled, there was nothing in it, just a few clothes and a few bottles of spicy sauce. The security personnel were still very responsible, put the backpack back into the instrument, the sound was still coming out, and after discussing it on the monitor screen, they asked Gu Xiaoshi to open the backpack and accept the inspection.

It turned out that the problem was the bottles of spicy sauce. Spicy sauce is not a liquid, in fact, it can be entered, but it needs to be declared, that is, on the plane, the flight attendant will send a declaration card in advance before landing, if you carry the items listed above, you must fill it in truthfully, and submit and accept the review when leaving the customs. Gu Xiaoshi didn't know at all that when the flight attendant issued the card, he was sleeping, and no one had ever told him about the customs declaration, and besides, even if he knew, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with a few bottles of spicy sauce. The EU is very strict in these aspects, such as beverages, fruits, animals and plants, etc., must be strictly inspected before they can enter the country.

The security officer summoned Gu Xiaoshi to an office and asked him to explain what these were. In China, everyone knows about spicy sauce, but foreigners don't know. Gu Xiaoshi was dumbfounded for a moment, he still knew the general words, how to say the spicy sauce in English, he really didn't know, he said it intermittently for a long time, and the two security personnel didn't quite understand. In fact, even if he didn't know how to say the spicy sauce in English, with Gu Xiaoshi's English level, he could explain it in a circle, but he was anxious at this time, the first time he was in a completely unfamiliar place, and the language was not understood, his mentality was unbalanced, and he couldn't calm down, so it was difficult to play half of his usual level. Gu Xiaoshi talked to the security personnel for a long time, and did not fully explain it clearly, or one of the security personnel thought of a way, using the walkie-talkie to call the airport management office, requesting to send a staff member who could speak Chinese to assist, but that person had an urgent matter and needed to wait for a while.

Hey, it's been a long time, but fortunately I still came, and it was explained in a few words, and the security personnel fully understood what these were. However, the matter did not end there, because there was no customs declaration and a fine had to be accepted, Gu Xiaoshi even planned to give up these spicy sauces, but was told that whether to discard or continue to keep, a fine needs to be paid in accordance with the relevant regulations. Gu Xiaoshi had to admit it, pay it, what else? But when Gu Xiaoshi got the fine, his eyes straightened, these foreigners are really ruthless, four bottles of spicy sauce, each bottle has to be fined 250 euros, a total of 1,000 euros.

Gu Xiaoshi felt that he was about to cry, it was not easy for people to be unlucky like this, there was a total of 1,000 euros on his body, and three hundred yuan, there was no way, he paid the fine, hurry up, I don't know how much time was delayed, can I still catch up?

Gu Xiaoshi went out of the customs and found a foreign exchange shop, and the 300 yuan was only exchanged for more than 40 Swiss francs. He had to exchange it for foreign currency, and he would have to buy a ticket for the fast train to Lucerne, and, when he was hungry, he wanted to find a fast food restaurant like McDonald's to deal with it.

Out of the airport, Gu Xiaoshi found that the sun had gone west, he arrived at 4 o'clock local time, at this moment the wall clock in the airport hall, the time had come to 6 o'clock, too back, just like that, two hours were delayed, and he ate a fart thing, hurry up and find the train station! Gu Xiaoshi took out the itinerary sent to him by the college, the last school bus today was from Lucerne city at eight o'clock in the evening, and the foreigner's concept of time was quite strong.

It seems that God still wants to continue to play tricks on Gu Xiaoshi, running all the way over, to the station, the conductor told him that this train has just departed, and he can catch up five minutes early, Gu Xiaoshi wants to cry without tears, so he has to buy a ticket for the next train, no way, every 45 minutes, continue to wait.

The train ticket cost more than 20 Swiss francs, Gu Xiaoshi had little money left, he was afraid of missing the train again, he didn't dare to leave, and he had to go hungry today.

Taking the train in Switzerland can be said to be a kind of enjoyment, not only the carriage environment is comfortable, the scenery outside the window is pleasant, and the speed is also fast, but Gu Xiaoshi is not in the mood to appreciate those, he just wants to be able to arrive before eight o'clock to catch the last train of the academy.

It was close to 7 o'clock to board the train, and it was almost 8 o'clock when he arrived in Lucerne, and as soon as the train arrived at the station, Gu Xiaoshi picked up a big bag and started running, so that those foreigners didn't know why, and thought that this was a criminal or something, and was evading the pursuit, how could normal people run so in a hurry?

Poor Gu Xiaoshi, who accidentally took the wrong road, took out the itinerary, and after inquiring about a passerby, he found the right direction and ran wildly to the transfer place of Augustus Academy, where is there still a figure?

Gu Xiaoshi was not reconciled, and continued to wait in place for a long time, not to mention the school bus, and did not even meet a passerby, so he had to give up, looking up to the sky and sighing, today is really unlucky! Tomorrow, the earliest school bus will arrive at 9 o'clock in the morning, and there is only 20 Swiss francs left on his body, how to spend this night?

Lucerne is a small city, the entire urban area has a population of less than 100,000, which is unimaginable in China, can a population of 100,000 be called a "city"? Unlike Westerners and Easterners, they pay attention to the quality of life, and this is especially true in Switzerland, as one of the countries with the highest per capita income in the world, people here pursue a comfortable and comfortable life. As a tourist city, Lucerne does not have a developed industry, nor is it famous for its financial industry like Zurich, and most of the tourists who come here come for the peace and tranquility of the lake and mountains.

Gu Xiaoshi drooped his head, strolling on the deserted streets, as soon as it was dark, most of the shops were closed, and the few restaurants and small convenience stores left were still open, this time was not the peak tourist season, there were not many tourists, looking up, there were only a few passers-by, walking in a hurry, as if on the way home.

After walking for a while, Gu Xiaoshi was hungry in his belly, and he had a little money left, it was not enough to live in a hotel, just find a place to lie down for the night, I heard that the country is very safe, and it is almost possible to stay open at night, presumably nothing will happen, and the top priority is to solve the problem of dinner.

The night wind blew, Gu Xiaoshi heard the sound of running water, and unconsciously, came to a river. There is a wooden bridge over the river that extends from the shore, about halfway up to the river, forming a turning point that leads to the opposite bank. In the center of the bridge stands an octagonal spire water tower, which stands and sleeps on a wooden bridge lined with flowers, creating a wonderful view. Gu Xiaoshi stands by the river, on both sides of the river, there are long wooden seats, it should be for visitors to rest, it is here tonight, fortunately, there is a beautiful view, there is a starry sky on the back, not so boring.

There is a convenience store not far away, Gu Xiaoshi used to buy a few breads, a bag of biscuits and a large bottle of Coke, just went out, felt that it was not enough, there was a meal tomorrow morning, so he bought a little more things, the only money on his body was spent, if he couldn't get to the college tomorrow, would he have to beg along the street?

Gu Xiaoshi found a good position, facing the wooden bridge, there was a street lamp a few meters away, so that it would not be dark, take out the bread and gnaw it, or gnaw it too violently, accidentally choked, hurriedly turned on the coke, poured a mouthful, this is slightly better.

After eating, Gu Xiaoshi put the remaining food and drinks into a paper bag, put them on the other side of the bench, held his head from behind with both hands, looked up, and saw that the night sky was cloudless, there were stars, and he was still in his hometown in the early morning, and he was in a foreign country at this time, and he couldn't help but think of his mother and sister, and thought of the fat man and Zhao Chuqing, they were all right? What is the situation of the fat man and Zhao Chuqing in the United States?

In a trance, Gu Xiaoshi was stunned again.
