Chapter 13: The Dilemma
Li Xing didn't call him, he found a window seat and sat down, picked up the menu on the table and looked at it, because he was short of money in the morning, so he could only buy the cheapest old bread to fill his stomach, although it was indeed full, but the taste was really touching.
Now that I have a lot more money, I'm ready to treat myself a little.
However, after picking up the menu and flipping through a few pages, Li Xing was quickly disappointed, this restaurant is an ordinary fast food restaurant, and the menu is fruit juice drinks in addition to various hamburgers and bacon, not even steaks.
In desperation, he casually chose a preferential package, and tapped his fingers on the table, attracting the attention of the freckled waiter.
The waiter George found out that there was one more person in the store, he quickly put down his mobile phone and walked over, the two did not understand the language, they could only gesture to the menu, and the communication was quite smooth.
George took the large denomination banknote that Li Xing took out to the counter to ask for change, Li Xing looked at his back and frowned slightly, when he just took out the living expenses, he obviously saw the changes on George's face.
Obviously, the living expenses in Li Xing's hands are still a lot of "huge money" for George, who is accustomed to customers paying with credit cards.
Li Xing didn't care about this thin George, but thought of other aspects from him, the people of the Ice Ty Federation are used to paying their bills with credit cards, and it is easy to attract the attention of others with a lot of cash, which is very unfavorable.
When you go out and are in a foreign country, you must be cautious at all times.
You can't carry too much cash with you, just put it in the car later, and just keep a little bit on you. Li Xing thought in his heart.
Soon, George came over with a tray with a large burger and a full glass of milk, and the extra change in the corner of the tray.
As Li Xing expected, as in the morning, his appetite became very large, and he ate three large hamburgers in a row, plus drank five glasses of milk, and he was fully satisfied.
"This appetite ......"
Li Xing was suddenly a little worried, because he found that if he continued to eat like this, his little money might not last long.
After leaving the restaurant, Li Xing returned to the car first and put most of the money on his body in first. Then he walked straight to the other end of the street, where there was a supermarket that was open, and he was going to buy some quick food to eat for the rest of the day.
The supermarket was medium-sized, and the air conditioner was turned on inside, and as soon as he entered the door, he felt a pleasant cool breeze blowing down from the top of his head, which suddenly made Li Xing feel comfortable. Two uniformed cashiers sat behind their respective counters talking, only glanced at him when they saw him come in, and continued chatting.
Li walked inside, although the supermarket was not small, but it was very deserted at this time, there were only a few people, and he quickly found the daily necessities area.
was shopping for something, and suddenly heard a siren outside, Li Xing happened to be standing at the window, and when he heard the siren, he looked up.
After seeing the situation outside, his heart sank.
On the other side of the street, outside the restaurant where he had just stayed, he was parked next to the "classic car" on the road, a blue and white police car was parked, two uniformed police officers were standing next to the car, one was looking through the window of the car, and next to the pot-bellied police officer was the restaurant employee George, who was asking something.
I'm really afraid of something.
Li Xing deliberately found this kind of dilapidated neighborhood because the car was too dilapidated and easy to attract police investigation, but he didn't expect to meet the patrolling traffic police.
But soon Li Xing calmed down, Gu Dayong had only been missing for a morning, and no one on the construction site should have thought of calling the police at this time, so his car would not attract the attention of the police for the time being, at most he wanted to see if the owner's documents were complete.
Now Li Xing can't do anything, so he can only pray that the two policemen just post a parking ticket or something and leave.
Outside the restaurant, the fat policeman with a big belly was about to issue a ticket, when his hand suddenly stopped and asked George, "Wait, you said that this car was driven by a Xia Guoren?"
George nodded: "Yes officer, it's a young man, he just left from me. ”
"Really?" the fat cop smiled and patted George on the shoulder, "Okay lad, thank you for your help, now you can go back." ”
Waving his hand to see George away, the fat cop smiled at his companion and said, "It seems that we are lucky enough to make another profit." The companion also smiled, Xia people are generally afraid of trouble, and they like to use money to solve problems, they like to deal with Xia people, and there is always something extra.
The fat policeman made a phone call, and soon a tow truck came over, and under the command of the two policemen, the "classic car" was towed, and the two also got into the police car and drove away.
Behind the supermarket window, Li Xing watched this scene with an embarrassed face, but there was nothing he could do.
Without a car, he is trapped in the city, unable to move an inch, and the worst thing is that his money is in the car.
"What a!"
Li Xing's heart was furious, and the packaged biscuits in his hand were crushed.
If you know what will not attract attention, the most important thing is to keep the money in your own pocket.
There is obviously no car tonight, Li Xing quickly emptied the food bag that had been filled with most of it, and he didn't need to carry so much fast food if he didn't go back, leaving only a small part to go to the counter to settle the bill.
Standing outside the supermarket, Li Xing suddenly felt a little dazed, looking at the dilapidated and deserted streets, there was a feeling of loss in his heart, a sense of loss with nowhere to go, and at the same time, he also felt a strong sense of homesickness, missing his mother and sister at home.
No matter how strong and calm he is, he is still just an ordinary boy who is only nineteen years old after all.
"I don't know what they're doing now. Thinking of his relatives, the confusion and loss in Li Xing's heart were suddenly swept away, and a long-lost warm smile appeared on his face.
Li Xing, who had regained his strength, took a deep breath, and walked over with a bag that he casually chose a direction, he had to find a temporary place to spend the night first, and then slowly plan for others.
Wandering around in the dilapidated neighborhood, he finally found a suitable bridge hole under a viaduct for a long time, which is spacious enough and breathable and ventilated under the bridge hole, and the conditions are already good for Li Xing, who often sleeps on the construction site.
Li Xing deliberately went to buy a mattress, the bridge cave was humid at night, and it was easy to get cold if he slept directly on the ground, and he would be troublesome if he caught a cold.
Time passed unconsciously, and soon it was evening, Li Xing sat under the bridge cave, swallowed the last mouthful of dry and tasteless biscuits with mineral water, looked at the bustling urban area with brilliant lights in the distance, and said goodnight softly.
