Chapter 339: Meeting
It's just that, although it is safe, after all, it is also a meal and a camp, sleeping on the streets at night in a strange country, blowing the cold wind, Du Lan and Liang Xiaojing, two girls, have indeed suffered a lot.
But Duran's troubles are not only these, not only did she not say hello to Du Le in advance, but even her parents did not say anything in advance. This made the parents, who had never heard from Duran, almost worried about it.
Because when Duran and Liang Xiaojing left school, it was just after the school had just had winter vacation. As is customary, Duran must have returned home from school, or at least called back to inform his parents that he was already on his way home. But now, even Du Tian, who was far away in the capital, has gone home, but there is no trace of Du Lan, not even half of the letter.
This frightened the two old men, who repeatedly called Duran's mobile phone. But they didn't expect that Duran was not in the country at this time. And Duran's mobile phone, as soon as it arrived abroad, naturally had no signal. The parents immediately called Du Le, but they couldn't get through.
Deeply afraid that his daughter would encounter something bad, Du Le's father had an idea and remembered Du Le's housekeeper Zhang Daming.
Just when they were worried, it happened that Zhang Daming called Du Le's parents, wanting to tell them that he had completed the work in Fuyong City, and he was going to leave Fuyong City for the island country in a few days.
After receiving Zhang Daming's call, Du Le's parents seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately asked Zhang Daming to go to Duran's university to see if they could find Duran. After Zhang Daming understood the matter. First reassure Du Le's parents not to worry, and then immediately drive to Southeast University of Science and Technology.
When Zhang Daming arrived at Southeast University of Science and Technology, the school had just been out of vacation, and a small number of students had not yet left the school. Fortunately, one of Duran's roommates remained in the dormitory, and Zhang Daming learned about Duran's whereabouts from her.
Knowing that Duran went abroad with her other roommate to buy the music for the new album of "Z" in the island country, Zhang Daming couldn't help but sweat for the audacity of these two girls, and knew that it was important, so he immediately contacted Du Le.
But the same could not get through to Du Le's phone. Helpless. Zhang Daming had no choice but to send an email to Du Le to inform him of the situation. Then he dialed the phone number of Du Le's parents, thinking that at least he had to let the two old people have a score in their hearts.
At this time, after Du Le disposed of the four major families in Yunzhou, he teleported back from the foreign land. Preparations are under way to continue the follow-up work on investments in Africa. When Du Le browsed the mailbox through the brain as usual. found the content of Zhang Daming's email. Only then did he learn about Duran's affairs, and he was shocked to realize that he didn't care about bringing the phone with him because he was busy, and he was very annoyed that he was pregnant.
Du Le immediately called home to his parents. Let the parents settle down first, and as soon as they find Duran, they will send her home. After receiving a call from their son, Du Le's parents were finally a little relieved.
Du Le blamed Duran for being too irresponsible and letting her parents worry about it, but on the other hand, he was worried about her safety, and he was afraid that something would happen to her. Without further ado, Du Le immediately called Sharif to find the entry records of the island country's government and carefully checked it, and found that Du Lan had indeed entered the island country and had not yet left, and his heart was a little more steady. Immediately afterwards, he ordered Pan Huan to disseminate Du Lan's photos and personal characteristics to the police stations in each area, and instructed Pan Huan to arrange to check all hotels, guesthouses and rental houses, etc., and to find Du Lan as soon as possible.
Involving the safety of his relatives, Du Le couldn't arrange tasks as usual, sat quietly in the house and waited for Pan Huan's news, paced and pondered a few times, and then asked Duoduo to drive himself to the place where there are many tourists on the island country street to try his luck.
Du Le naturally knows best that the place with the largest number of foreign tourists during this period is the place where Tianxing Entertainment Company arranged the first release of "Courage" - Government Square, and he also learned from the mouth of Noriko Oda that because of the sharp increase in the number of tourists in the island country, the accommodation conditions of the island country could not be digested for a while, so that there were many foreign tourists stranded in the Government Square.
Tule ordered a lot of people to hurry to the Government Square.
However, the government square is relatively wide, and there are indeed a lot of people stranded inside, almost crowding the square, and they are all standing or sitting, so it is not easy to find Duran for a while.
Looking at the dense crowd, Du Le couldn't help but sigh, anxious and annoyed. After Duoduo found a suitable spot to park the car, Du Le did not delay for a moment, and immediately squeezed into the crowd to look for Du Lan carefully.
Du Lan and Liang Xiaojing have not had a good rest for several days and are already exhausted.
Originally, he couldn't find Du Le, Du Lan didn't have much hope, and there was not much money left except for the return journey, so he thought about simply returning to China early. But I didn't think that providence would make people, because for a country as small as an island country, it is not a matter of a few planes to consume such a large number of tourists. The two of them were unlucky, and went to the airport early this morning to inquire, but were told that they could only buy a return ticket in two weeks at the earliest.
At this moment, the two had to be forced to stay in the island country for two more weeks. I don't have enough money on me, I don't have a place to live, and I don't even dare to think about going to other places and having fun. Thinking that there would be such a big period of days of sleeping and suffering from food, food, and hardship, Duran was sad about his bad luck, and at the same time felt guilty for not fulfilling his promise to Liang Xiaojing to find his brother, and even more uncomfortable because he had affected Liang Xiaojing.
At this time, the two were bored leaning against each other, staying in a corner of the square.
"Shall we go to some restaurants and have something to eat?" Perhaps guessing her mood from the depressed expression on Du Lan's face, Liang Xiaojing made a thoughtful suggestion, hoping to transfer it and let Du Lan not worry about the situation of the two.
Durán nodded when he heard this, and did not object. couldn't find her eldest brother, she already felt a little sorry for Liang Xiaojing.
Liang Xiaojing looked at Du Lan and saw that she was still not in a high mood, so she comforted calmly: "Don't be upset, at least we finally got the return ticket, right?" No matter how bad it is, there will be a head. Why don't we go find a cheap house and rent a room for two days of rest? ”
"But. We're out of money. Duran's face fell again at the thought of this. Duran's living expenses for studying at school have been borne by Du Le since he worked. Du Le was well prepared for Du Lan in this regard, but because Du Lan was acting privately this time, he didn't dare to ask Du Le for more, so that after Du Lan spent a lot of money on the air ticket, the rest of the money she could spend was tense.
Liang Xiaojing couldn't answer when she heard this. She didn't expect to come out on this trip. It's going to be such a mess. So Liang Xiaojing didn't bring too much money when she came out. But in fact, Liang Xiaojing's family background is very good, and she is the only daughter in the family, her parents are extremely fond of her, and she is a real rich lady. I've always been used to it, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. A carefree life. Never suffered from it.
Because like Duran, he loves Z very much, and this time he came to the island country with Duran. It was also a decision made by Liang Xiaojing without authorization, because she was afraid that her family would oppose and lose this opportunity to buy "Courage", so she did not inform her family. This is also the reason why the parents of Du Lan and Liang Xiaojing didn't know that Lu Dao's daughter went abroad without permission.
In order to avoid the danger of carrying too much cash with her, when leaving Huaguo, Liang Xiaojing only brought a bank card with her, except for the necessary envoy fees on the road. But because the two did not contact Du Le in advance to learn about the details of the island country, after arriving in the island country, Liang Xiaojing was shocked to realize that there was no corresponding banking institution in the island country, and it turned out that this was a bank card that was only used in China. So even though Liang Xiaojing is rich, this will not be able to do anything.
Therefore, Duran is right, if they go to rent a house again, I am afraid that they will not even have money for food.
"Well, let's go find a place to wash first. I haven't taken a shower all day, so it's weird and uncomfortable. Liang Xiaojing proposed.
For Liang Xiaojing's proposal, Duran deeply agreed.
"I remember on the other side of the beach, there was a public bath, and bathing was supposed to be provided there." Duran said.
So the two of them grabbed their backpacks and went straight from the square to a relaxing beach closest to the city center.
Around the island city, there are a number of recreational beaches that offer a variety of services and amenities, including the public baths that Duran said.
Duran and Liang Xiaojing finally found a public bath on the beach, enjoyed the pleasure of showering, and washed away the fatigue of the past few days. Then after the two of them changed into a set of clean clothes, they suddenly felt a lot of energy.
After a good wash, both of them felt hungry, so they returned to the center of the island city, ready to find a small restaurant to eat first. Although the money on them is definitely not enough for them to squander, anyway, the matter has come to this point, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and everything will be said after they are full of water and food.
When passing through a street in the island country, Liang Xiaojing saw a huge building in front of her, which was impressively marked with the Chinese Embassy, and immediately had a plan and proposed to Duran to go to the embassy for help.
When Duran heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and nodded hurriedly. That's a good idea. As a Chinese tourist, it is a matter of course to go to the Chinese embassy for help.
However, when they walked to the entrance of the embassy, they found that there were many people in a long queue at the entrance of the embassy. After inquiry, I learned that these people turned out to be the same as Duran and the others, all of whom came to the island country to snap up the "Courage" album and wanted to see the best Chinese tourists, but they couldn't find a place to live in the island country, so they wanted to ask the Chinese embassy for help.
When Du Lan and Liang Xiaojing saw this momentum, their hearts couldn't help but feel a little colder. With such a long line, if the two of them were also in line, they didn't know that it would not be their turn until the Year of the Monkey.
Hungry and croaking, the two decided to go to eat first. I didn't think about it, and even after walking two streets, I couldn't find a restaurant where I could eat, because these shops were full of customers, and there were long queues outside the store.
Seeing this, Du Lan and Liang Xiaojing felt a little more angry in their hearts, but they couldn't even eat so well.
"It seems that this time is the meal, it is estimated that it is difficult to find a restaurant with vacant seats, so we still find a random store to line up." Duran said helplessly. She didn't want to go any further, her stomach was already hungry, and after walking for so long, her legs were even more sore.
Liang Xiaojing's face was also full of pain. Growing up, she never imagined that it would be so difficult to eat a meal.
"Why don't we go to the open-air stir-fry shop next to the police station and line up." Liang Xiaojing pointed to the island country police station in front of him and said, less than twenty meters next to this police station. It is an open-air stir-fry restaurant. From a distance, there are a lot of people around the restaurant, but the situation is quite optimistic.
Duran looks at the situation, this open-air stir-fry restaurant is a bit similar to the food stalls in China, with a completely open structure. However, there are also many guests waiting to be seated.
By the way, Duran also saw the police station, and suddenly had an idea, and said with bright eyes: "Or, let's go to the police station." Ask for news from my brother. Let's see if we can find out where my brother lives. ”
When Liang Xiaojing heard this, she was a little skeptical about the usefulness of Duran's proposal. In her heart, Duran's brother is a Chinese, how can he have a record of him in the island country police department? Even if there is. The Chinese embassy is more likely.
But although Liang Xiaojing has such thoughts. But it didn't show itself. Didn't stop Duran. She knew that Du Lan had not been able to get through to her brother's phone, and she must have been very anxious in her heart. Now in this situation, it can be regarded as a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and any method has to be tried.
So Du Lan and Liang Xiaojing didn't care about eating and walked to the island country police station together. At the police station, some officers are busy dealing with disputes at this time. The police station is really different from other agencies, and the atmosphere is always more serious.
However, what Duran didn't expect was that when they just walked into the police station and were about to ask how to inquire about Dule's information, Duran found that several police officers saw them walking in the door and stared straight at her face.
Du Lan didn't know why, so he was scared when he saw this, secretly tugged at Liang Xiaojing's sleeve, and whispered to her: "Do you feel that something is wrong, why do these policemen seem to be staring at me?" I...... A little scared. ”
"What's so scary." Liang Xiaojing is much more courageous than Du Lan, she thinks, this is the police station, I am afraid it is the safest place in the entire island country, they have tried to stay in the square and sleep rough, there is nothing worse here. The two of them are not wanted criminals, and there is nothing to worry about when they go to the police station.
Suddenly, a few seconds later, one of the policemen, who was staring at Duran, suddenly yelled in surprise, and then immediately turned his head to say something to his colleagues.
Although they used the language of the island country, Du Lan and Liang Xiaojing couldn't understand the content of their conversation, but judging from the happy expressions on their faces, it was estimated that they had solved some big case. But what does that have to do with yourself?
Suddenly, Liang Xiaojing was shocked, could it be that she hadn't returned home for a long time, so that her parents called the police to look for her? Liang Xiaojing has no doubt about the ability of her parents, it is very likely that her parents called the police in China, and the police found out from the flight records that she had come to the island country, and her parents might have flown in person to stay at the police station of the island country, so now she is sent to the door.
Liang Xiaojing didn't expect that this was Duran's relationship. Because of Duran's background, Liang Xiaojing knows something. Although Duran's family economy is not bad, after all, he is only a person in a small place, and his mobility should be inferior to that of his parents. So Liang Xiaojing only guessed that the police's reaction was related to herself.
Duran, on the other hand, didn't think about it so much, but the difficulties of the past few days made her worry that she didn't know what was going to happen to Lu Dao.
Just when the two were guessing, a policeman walked up to the two with a photo in his hand, compared them, turned to Duran and asked in English, "Are you Miss Duran?" ”
Du Lan and Liang Xiaojing were stunned at the same time when they heard this. They are foreign language majors, so naturally they will not be unable to understand the police's questioning. Duran nodded subconsciously.
"Great, that's right." The policeman was immediately very happy, and said with excitement on his face: "Miss Duran, your brother, Mr. Dule is looking for you. Please wait a moment, and we will contact Mr. Du Le immediately. ”
"Do you know where my brother is?" When Duran heard this, he was even more excited.
"Yes, please wait a minute, we will inform Mr. Toeller to come here at once." The policeman laughed.
Duran didn't know what to do, and when he found Duran, the police officers in the police station must have been extremely happy. Because Du Le wanted to find Du Lan, he offered a lot of island coins.
Du Le was in the square, looking for Du Lan's figure one by one along the crowd, and suddenly the phone rang in his arms.
When he heard the report from the police station and finally found Duran, and both of them were safe, Du Le's heart finally fell down, and while calling home to keep his parents safe, he urged Duoduo to drive to the police station.
When they walked into the police station, they happened to see Duran and Liang Xiaojing sitting on a bench waiting.
When the two siblings met, Duran shouted in surprise and choked up, "Brother, I've found you." ”
Du Le was very relieved to see that Du Lan was indeed well, but he couldn't help but admonish: "Why did you go abroad without a sound, do you know how worried your parents are?" ”
Du Lan didn't think that his eldest brother would be reprimanded as soon as they met, and he felt somewhat aggrieved, but when he finally found his eldest brother, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and his nose was sour and wanted to cry, but considering that Liang Xiaojing was also on the side, he pressed it down and introduced to Du Le: "Brother, this is my sister, Liang Xiaojing." ”
Only then did Du Le find out that there was another person beside Du Lan, and out of politeness, he stopped teaching Du Lan a lesson first, and smiled at Liang Xiaojing: "Hello, I am Du Lan's brother, thanks to you for taking care of Du Lan along the way." ”
"We are two sisters, so naturally we take care of each other." After all, Liang Xiaojing is also a beautiful girl, so she naturally knows etiquette. But in fact, just now, when Du Le walked into the police station, she was surprised to see that these policemen in the police station actually saluted Du Le, and the police who asked them just now seemed to respect Du Le very much, which made Liang Xiaojing extremely curious, Du Le didn't seem to be such an ordinary person in the island country, what was his identity?
Duran didn't notice this, but when he saw that he had managed to divert his eldest brother's attention and stop teaching him a lesson, he naughtily stuck out his tongue.
"Are you hungry or not, how about we buy seafood and go home for a big meal?" Du Le continued.
Hearing this, Duran cheered: "I want to eat a seafood feast, crabs and lobsters are indispensable!" (To be continued......)
