Chapter 18 Procurement Out of the Island
Early in the morning, Chen Mian and Xiao Hei came to the south shore of the island, and she called Ba Song to pick her up, "Xiao Hei, you know that you can't speak in front of others, especially Lan Xing's language." ”
"Why", Xiao Hei reluctantly.
"Because Blue Star's canines and even animals can't speak," Chen Mian explained, "it's dangerous to be discovered by someone who is abnormal about you." ”
"I'll be good, then...... Can I ask for a mobile phone", Xiao Hei tried to pretend to be well-behaved, his eyes wide open, and pleaded.
"Okay", Chen Mian happily agreed, usually Chen Mian didn't let Xiao Hei watch cartoons, playing games to tease it, watching it sneaky is very interesting.
In fact, Xiao Hei really only needs to grow up well to gain ability, and it doesn't matter if he plays more, and he doesn't say that playing with mobile phones and computers affects his growth.
A black dot gradually appeared on the sea level, growing bigger and bigger, and it was Ba Song who cut through the sea and headed towards them.
"Morning, Ba Song", Chen Mian greeted Ba Song while holding Xiao Hei on the speedboat.
"Morning, Miss Chen, how are you staying on the island?" Ba Song smiled heartily and greeted him.
"It's good, it's quiet," Chen Mian replied.
"It's really rare for someone like you to live alone on the island at a young age, and other private island owners bring a group of relatives and friends with them to come to the island for a vacation," Ba Song lamented.
Chen Mian smiled and sat down in his position, Ba Song saw that Chen Mian was not very interested in talking, and returned to the cockpit.
More than an hour later, when he arrived at the Phuket Island pier and made an appointment with Ba Song to send her back in the afternoon, Chen Mian left with Xiao Hei in his arms.
This time she wanted to buy some paper to study the patterns, although ordinary paper and ink have no special effect, and the patterns are just ordinary patterns, but it is enough to use them only for records, and she can't afford to consume a lot of the cheapest parchment and energy ink in the trading area.
There is plenty of time, Chen Mian is holding Xiao Hei and wandering slowly, last time in order to buy things back to the island quickly, he didn't visit Phuket Island much, Xiao Hei was put in the beast bag all the time, and he didn't have a good time, just think today is a little relaxation for this month's close life.
Phuket Island is a well-known tourist island in Blue Star, much larger than the old Leus Island, but it is very thoroughly developed and has a strong commercial atmosphere, which is very different from the style of Luce Island.
There is a large shopping mall on the island, Chen Mian and the others went straight there, the island is mostly populated, wearing a pale yellow linen dress, holding a small black hair dumpling, they are inconspicuous in the crowd.
Passing by a mobile phone store, Xiao Hei was attracted by the prototype placed on the counter, and moved excitedly in Chen Mian's arms, "Wang~, Wang~"
"Okay, I'll buy it for you right away," Chen Mian whispered.
Pushing the door and walking in, Xiao Hei took a look at the latest one, and cleverly shouted in that direction, "You came prepared today" Chen Mian smiled, or decided to buy this one for it, and after thinking about it, he bought another tablet, Xiao Hei's little claws are really difficult to grasp the mouse.
paid the money and gave Xiao Hei a card by the way, Xiao Hei was satisfied, and lay in Chen Mian's arms with squinted eyes.
"Mom, that dog is laughing", a little girl from Huaguo pointed at Xiao Hei with one hand and pulled her mother's sleeve with the other.
"Dogs don't smile," her mother said, looking in the direction the little girl was pointing.
At this time, Chen Mian and Xiao Hei both heard the conversation between the mother and daughter, and Xiao Hei hurriedly retracted his little head into Chen Mian's arms, looking like a small hair ball.
Chen Mian touched Xiao Hei's hair soothingly, and walked towards the restaurant area on the second floor.
Entering a restaurant called Bibi Barbecue, there is a screen between each booth in this shop, which is more private, find an empty seat in the corner and sit down, and put Xiao Hei on the table.
"Come, see what you want to eat", Chen Mian opened the menu, Xiao Hei half sat on the side of the menu, and sometimes stretched out his paws towards the favorite pattern on the menu, and Chen Mian ordered the corresponding dish.
The waiter at the reception looked at the magical way of ordering at this table with a professional smile, and did not ask questions with great quality.
"Sister, can I pet your dog, it's so smart", the little girl I met before poked her head out of the booth next door.
Before Chen Mian could answer, Xiao Hei hid behind Chen Mian's arm with a cigarette, and then stretched out his head and shouted at the little girl, "Wang~".
"My little black is too small, I'm afraid of hurting you", Chen Mian saw Xiao Hei's refusal and politely rejected the little girl.
The little girl was pulled back by her mother with an aggrieved face, and she vaguely heard her crying complaint to her mother, "Mom, that little dog murdered me."
"Be obedient, please your father, you can ...... whatever you want"
Chen Mian and they are very happy to eat this meal, the barbecue and service in this restaurant are very good, compared with Chen Mian's own cooking, the dishes here are really enjoyable.
One big and one small were all eating, one was slumped on the card seat and rubbing his stomach, and the other was lying on the dining table with his feet facing the sky and humming.
After resting for a while, they left to buy the pen and paper she needed.
Ordinary paper was easy to find, but she needed some oversized sheets but couldn't find them, so she had to settle for the next best thing, bought the largest paper she could find, and prepared to go back and put it together.
By the time everything was done, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Mian and Ba Song made an appointment to send them back at three o'clock, they rushed to the dock, Ba Song came forward, "Miss Chen, I'm sorry, Miss Zhang is going to take someone to see the island later, and she may have to go on the same trip with you, you can rest assured, the cost of this trip will be halved for you." ”
"Are they alright, have they arrived?" Chen Mian didn't mind, anyway, the speedboat was quite big, and it didn't crowd more than a dozen people.
"They arrived at Phuket at noon, but the customer seemed to have to pick up a few people on the island, so they delayed for a while, and they came immediately," said Ba Song, who was slightly relieved when he received permission.
Chen Mian did not accompany Ba Song to wait for Zhang Hui on the dock, and took Xiao Hei back to the boat to rest.
Soon, hearing a noise, Zhang Hui came in with a middle-aged man with a tall figure and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking elegant and shrewd, and coincidentally, this man was holding the little girl he had seen before in his arms.
This time Chen Mian had the opportunity to see the little girl's mother head-on, she followed behind the man with a gentle smile, her hand straddled the man's arm, wearing a white beach skirt, fair skin, petite figure, looking in her twenties, at first glance, these three people are handsome and beautiful, like a very eye-catching, very harmonious family.
"Alas, what a coincidence, we met again, I'm really embarrassed this time", Zhang Hui greeted Chen Mian happily, and introduced them both by the way.
"Hello, I'm Li Pan, this is my lover and daughter", the man politely stretched out his hand.
Chen Mian shook his face, "Hello, my surname is Chen."
"Miss Chen, what a coincidence, today is the third time we have met, I am Wu Yuan", Wu Yuan also walked over, greeted him warmly, and quietly squeezed away his husband.
Chen Mian smiled and nodded politely, but complained slightly in his heart, "It's really lively now, I heard Wu Yuan in the restaurant before asking the little girl to please her father, the three of them are obviously not a normal family, this Wu Yuan is likely to be Li Pan's lover, and the little girl is an illegitimate child." ”
"Dad, my sister's dog is so smart, I want one too", the little girl was still thinking about Xiao Hei and coquettish Li Pan.
Ever since they came in, Xiao Hei had shrunk motionlessly into a small black ball in Chen Mian's arms, and it looked particularly timid and shy in front of outsiders.
"Oh? What breed is Miss Chen's dog? Li Pan asked.
"I don't know, I picked it up, maybe it's an ordinary pastoral dog", Chen Mian's face didn't change, Xiao Hei did pick it up, but it wasn't picked up in Lanxing.
Li Pan also asked, but was interrupted by Wu Yuan, "Xiao Ai, Mom and Dad will accompany you to buy one after a while." ”
"Then I want a dog that is just as smart, can laugh and can order its own food", the little girl emphasized.
"How can a dog order his own food?" Li Pan shook his head with a smile.
"My sister's dog will," the little girl pouted.
"Silly boy, that's my sister playing with the dog, not really ordering", Wu Yuan soothed.
…………
A few people came and went along the way, Chen Mian was not interested, and he was tired when he saw Wu Yuan guarding himself and Zhang Hui, and he didn't seem to talk about his own affairs, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Just listening to their chat, Chen Mian learned that Li Pan was a Chinese businessman, probably in a coastal city in the south of China, and this time he wanted to buy a small private resort island, which was not far from the southwest of Luce Island.
Soon, Zhang Hui reminded Chen Mian, "Your island is almost here."
When I opened my eyes, I was indeed almost there, not far from the cliffs on the north side of the island, and I arrived at the south of the island.
"Miss Chen's island is really big, very beautiful, it cost a lot of money, did you buy it for vacation?" Li Pan inquired.
"It's okay", Chen Mian avoided talking.
"You're too modest, your island is at least one of the top three private islands around Buji Island, but there are almost no other facilities on the island except for a house, but the price is not low, you are definitely a rich woman," Zhang Hui quipped.
Chen Mian didn't want to talk about it anymore, just smiled politely, and lowered his head to rub Xiao Hei's hair.
Fortunately, she was about to arrive soon, she couldn't wait to get off the boat, not giving them a chance to continue greetings, and when she got off the speedboat, looking back, they were all waving, Li Pan also said loudly, "When we buy the island, please come and play!" ”
Chen Mian also waved her hand, pretending not to hear Li Pan's words, she didn't want to get familiar with the surrounding island owners, she didn't want to socialize too much with the people nearby, she was afraid that others would take the opportunity to visit her island, she had a lot of secrets that she couldn't let others know.
The speedboat went away, Chen Mian put the things he bought into the storage space, turned his head and went into the woods with Xiao Hei, and went home along the stone path.
