Chapter 160: Goal
Sunny!
When I walked out of Guangxi Beihai Airport, my first impression was that the air here is so good!
I felt a little uncontrollable excitement in my heart. Especially when I walked out of the customs, I saw people with yellow skin and black hair who came to live there......
Listen to the familiar Chinese dialect...... Of course, a lot of it is in dialects.
But even so, the excitement in my heart quickly showed up on my face.
We first flew to Shanghai, and then transferred from Shanghai to Beihai City, Guangzhou.
It's a seaside city, but because there is no industry, the air in the whole city is very good. The sun is abundant, which makes people feel lazy. Even though I've been flying for nearly twenty hours straight, I still don't seem to feel too tired.
As we walked out of the airport, we all felt a sense of relief. After a long journey, the first thing we did was pull out our cigarettes...... For people with smoking addictions, not being able to smoke for more than 20 hours in a row is really torture.
The exit pick-up area at the airport was crowded with people. The airport in Beihai City is very small, and the exit for pick-up is not large, so there are many people in a hurry. I also saw a tour group walking by, and coincidentally, I seemed to hear someone speaking Nanjing......
Say something a little ashamed...... Suddenly I heard the local voice, and I really felt the urge to cry on the spot!
I stood in a daze, and there was only one voice in my heart:
I'm back home! I'm finally back home!
My first reaction was to look up at the airport's flight schedule...... In this moment, I had an impulse! It is to buy a ticket back to Nanjing immediately and take the plane home!
It's been so long since I've been out, and it's the first time I've felt so close to home.........
"Tiger!" While I was in a daze, I felt Tiger slap me, and then there was such a shout in the distance.
I saw a skinny man standing at the exit of the pick-up with a baseball cap and a casual jacket. He is very short, only about 160 centimeters, and his cheekbones are somewhat high. Typical Southerner characteristics. But he can come out, his body is very strong, although thin, but not weak.
Tiger walked over, gave him a warm hug, and pulled us aside.
"This is Little Five, Ciro. Good brother who came with me this time. Tiger introduced, then pointed to the man in front of him: "Ponytail." Stallion of horses, tail of tails, haha! โ
Ponytail doesn't seem to care about the joke for this title. He gave me and Ciro a serious look. Then he hugged us a little. His hands are very strong when he opens his arms, and when I hit the hug, his arms and necks hidden under his clothes are very strong!
"Let's go. My car was parked outside. "Mawei was very welcoming and walked us out of the airport.
It's a very old red Sรจ Ingle car, with only a displacement of 1.4 points, but this ponytail is simply a madman!
Have you ever seen a car that squall down the city's highway at a speed of a hundred yards? And it's still broad daylight!
I listened to the sound of the engine and was really worried that he would burst the cylinder when he drove like this! But Ponytail didn't care about it, and he even chatted with us when he was driving. But we're just talking about the weather or some gossip. He never asked personal questions about us, not a word.
Guangxi is not a big city. But small cities naturally have the benefits of small cities...... It's very clean here! The air in the seaside city is filled with a faint salty smell. And the climate here is very warm, which is very different from Vancouver.
We had already taken off our coats and were wearing only a shirt, and Ponytail was a very enthusiastic landowner who drove us around Beihai City and then parked the car at the mouth of a sandy beach in Beihai.
"This is the first paralysis in the world," he smiled, pointing to the inscription on a boulder left by a certain national leader. However, I always feel that this beach is very dilapidated, and the scenery is very average, the sand on the beach is very rough, and there are even some pebbles, which seems to be a little far from the title of "the best in the world".
For dinner, he took us to a seafood stall near the sea. This aroused my great interest!
For me, since I went abroad, this scene of domestic roadside food stalls has become a precious picture that only exists in my memory.
After ordering a dozen Tsingtao beers, some barbecue snacks, and some seafood like scallops and squid, the four of us sat around a dirty round table.
Ciro was clearly new to this kind of scene...... It was the first time he had returned to China, and such a scene, such a scene, eating in such a dirty place as the road, I am afraid that it would be unbelievable for him......
He was a kid who grew up in Canada, and in his concept, he probably wouldn't even get a license for such a dining place abroad, watching us bite off the cap of a beer bottle, then take a sip of beer, take a bite of barbecue, and then throw bamboo skewers all over the ground, this kid is somewhat unaccustomed.
"Our ship is at night." There was no one around, Mawei took out an envelope from his arms and handed it over, "This is a ferry ticket, a total of four, I will go to Vietnam with you, and there are books in my clothes to travel and transit passes, and ......"
He glanced at Tiger: "Our target is also in the same boat as us, there are two of them, now I let my brother keep an eye on them, don't worry!" They are now at the dock and, like us, are eating. Ponytail smiled: "I'll do something, don't worry." โ
Tiger nodded, put away the ticket, and then smiled: "Yes, I don't worry about your work!" Everyone has been brothers for so many years! โ
Then Tiger and Ponytail had a conversation, and they spoke in the local dialect, and Ciro and I couldn't understand a word. But looking at the way they laughed and talked, I affirmed a few points:
Tiger seems to be from Guangxi! Maybe even the Beihai people!
Tiger seems to come back often! At least it's not the first time he's been in contact with a ponytail!
I probably drank a few beers, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious, Ponytail spoke a little more freely, and he touched me with a cup: "Brother, are you returning to China for the first time?" โ
I smiled and didn't speak, just drank the wine from my glass. Tiger frowned slightly and glanced at Ponytail. He immediately realized that he was a little out of shape, and quickly smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm talking too much if I drink too much, okay, according to discipline, I shouldn't ask this, I'll punish myself!" โ
After drinking a few beers, I was sweating a little, and the sea breeze was gusting, and it was really refreshing to blow on my body, so I couldn't help but stand up, leave my seat, and slowly walk towards the beach.
When I closed my eyes, I really felt an urge in my heart......
I fumbled for the phone in my pocket......... Do you want to make a call home?
This impulse is stronger than ever! My fingers trembled, and I had already touched the phone in my pocket, but slowly, my fingers did not go down.........
Behind me, Tiger approached me wordlessly, he gently patted me on the shoulder, and when I turned around, I saw Tiger looking at me with deep eyes. Then he pulled me back to the table and we toasted together and drank it all!
At 11 o'clock in the evening, we drove to the port of Beihai City.
This is the place to get out of customs. Ponyo parked the car, then took out his own backpack from the back box, and made another phone call, in which he spoke in the local dialect, and after a few words, he smiled at us: "Okay, they have entered the customs and boarded the ship." We can also go. โ
I wordlessly followed the end of the three and looked at the time.
Eleven o'clock.
With a wry smile, from morning to now, I have only stood on the land of the country for ten hours...... There is a very convenient way from Beihai to Vietnam, which is to take a cruise!
There are cruise ships in Beihai that go directly to Vietnam, and you can reach Vietnam by boat in one night. And here, the tourism industry is very developed, especially several famous South Asian cruise ships, all of which dock in the North Sea, the most famous of which is the "Minghui Princess".
This is a large luxury cruise ship registered in Panama that can carry thousands of people! There is an entertainment center, a large restaurant, a bathing center, a nightclub, and ...... on the cruise ship Casino!!
It is also very easy to go out of Vietnam from Beihai Customs, there is an office of Vietnam Customs, and you can directly apply for a tourist pass. When we got out of customs, checked our luggage, and then with our tickets, we stooled onto the deck!
"Little Five, you and Siro live in 307, 2nd class, and we are in 310...... Watch out for us next door! That's the goal this time. โ
The cabin was small, but it was clean and there was a separate bathroom toilet! For a luxury cruise ship, these hardware facilities are still quite good!
As the ship departed at twelve o'clock, we entered the cabin, sat for a while, and then heard a dull whistle, and then I could feel the hull of the ship begin to move......
Ciro and I exchanged glances and let go of the cabin as we put down our things and walked out of the cabin. In the hallway, we saw Tiger and Ponytail open the door. Their eyes were on the end of the corridor ahead.
Two men had just gone up the stairs at the end.
There is a staircase to the left of our second class that leads to the first wing, and then a door turns into it, and it is the entertainment center. The four of us walked into the entertainment center one after another.
A game of recreational ball is taking place here.
My eyes were fixed on the two men who were buying chips at the counter.
One of them is my goal!
