Volume 1: Let Me Die First Chapter 009 Bad Luck, Chance Encounter Relatives?
"No problem."
Before the words fell, the bathroom door that had just been closed was pushed open by the people outside, and at this time, Li Ke happened to take off his shirt, and when he looked back, he was almost startled, and couldn't figure out why Zuo Lele appeared.
"That, that...... I went to another toilet. β
Li Ke didn't make a sound, thinking that she turned around and walked away, but she walked a few steps and turned back, hugged herself and kissed her cheek, and said: Yes, I miss you so much.
"Ahem," Fairy Tale said when she saw that one of the two shadows was left in the doorway, "I thought you would kiss back." β
There is no sarcasm or joking at all, she just thinks that men will unconsciously make this seductive action, after all, women are so active.
"We've broken up," Li Ke said as he locked the door, took off his cropped pants and threw them into the bamboo basket, "Listen to your tone, does my appearance belong to the kind of man who pays attention to everything?" β
"That's not what I meant, you're pretty fierce, like a gangster. But the words are very gentle, the contrast is cute, the flowers are not flowery, where do I know. β
"That's right."
Take a bath separately, and there is no follow-up.
Until the fairy tale was about to fall asleep, he moved his "body" and turned his head: "Have you soaked it?" I'm dying. β
Li Ke got up from the bathtub without hurrying, quickly dried and dressed, and took the fairy tale back to the room.
Outside the door, Qin Chunyan shouted to eat, Li Ke went in and out of his left ear, lifted the quilt and covered his body, and asked if the fairy tale was hungry.
"Uncle, I don't have to eat, I've already knocked on the small blackboard before."
"Okay, I remember this time," Li Ke stayed up late last night to study the route map laid out by Akti, and he didn't close his eyes, and he was about to become a dog at this time, "I've packed up my things, and we'll leave tomorrow." β
The fairy tale squeaked in a hazy way.
"If you have any questions, ask Akti or Cobra, ask me for a stealth walkie-talkie and they'll help us out as much as they can."
The fairy tale woke up when she heard the word "Akoti", "Where are we going?" Far away? Aha-" Yawned.
Li Ke rolled over, "The next province, a small town." β
"So, what are we going to do? If you don't make it clear, my little heart is pounding. β
"Tell me the truth now, do you have the stone around my neck?" Lee can suddenly turn his face to the fairy tale.
"Uh...... Yes. β
"Some of the stones that your grandfather transferred to you have fallen somewhere else, and we have to retrieve them, and I don't know what the consequences will be, but they should be quite serious."
The fairy tale paused: "Did you say how many?" β
"I didn't mention that."
The fairy tale did not speak again.
Thirty-past three in the morningββ
It's really not that fairy tales like to vomit, and it's not a matter of 100,000 people who are in a hurry to die, Li Ke wants to leave for the train station at this point, and he also said confidently that when he gets there, he can catch the first train to Luowan County.
Speaking of this small county, the fairy tale vaguely remembers that my grandmother mentioned it a few times, when she was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, she met her grandfather in Maoxiang Village, Luowan, and then did not stay for a few years, and came to Chang'an together.
There weren't many people in this carriage, and the fairy tale fell asleep on Li Ke's lap, and when he opened his eyes, the beam of light was unusually shining, and sometimes a slurred dialect floated from the side of the street.
Lee can remind that the fairy tale has arrived, and as he spoke, put it on his head, and carry his pure black suitcase to find the hostel.
The single room of the Anxin hostel, small is not like words, fortunately, it has all the necessary things, the only thing that makes the fairy tale unhappy is that there is no window.
Settle in, the fairy tale stays in the room, Lee can go out for lunch, and walk around to find out the direction and convenience store.
The door was old, and it creaked with a slight push, and the fairy tale looked over when he heard the voice, "Did you leave something on the bed?" β
Li Ke subconsciously glanced directly at the map near the pillow, and smiled faintly: "That's for you to see." β
"Huh?"
Fairy Tale feels despised by herself.
"The lines I marked above are our trip."
The fairy tale hummed and chirped, "I'm a geography idiot, I can't look at the map, anyway, I'll follow you wherever you go, and ah, it's still hard to tell, don't say it so nicely." β
Li could take out the computer from his bag and put it on the table covered with tissues, but the fairy tale didn't hear any movement, and continued to look at his back:
"I'm talking to you, and you ignore me, it's rude, you know?"
"I'm sorry, I have something to do now, I'll talk about it later."
Fairy Tale thinks that the doctor is already very busy, so it would be good to let him go for the time being and make up for sleep.
Just about to fall asleep, suddenly heard a few rooster crows, fairy tale and Li Ke looked out of the window almost at the same time, looking at the sky outside about to go down, and was puzzled, and the rooster crowed clearly as if it was behind the door.
Li Ke almost instinctively scooped up the fairy tale and stuffed it into his pocket, walked a few steps to open the door, but saw a man and a woman, the man had an honest face, the girl had two braids, and the corners of her eyes and mouth were crooked when she smiled.
"Excuse me, my little girl is still wetting the bed, I, I didn't bring enough towels, and the boss said that he would lose money if he soiled his sheets, I want to borrow one from you?"
"No problem."
Li Ke handed his brand new white bath towel to the man, "Do you need to return it if you take it." β
"Thank you, thank you."
Closing the door, Li Ke heard before he turned around:
"I can't see it, it's a big guy who is enthusiastic."
Li Ke smiled and sat back down in front of the computer, "You're still young, and there are too many things you can't see." β
"Tsk, but, uncle, do you feel that little girl looks weird?"
Li Ke's right index finger paused on the keyboard and lowered his head: "What's weird?" β
"There's a feeling of being born mentally retarded, and there's ......" The fairy tale thought clearly and said, "She seems to be staring at me all the time?" I don't even know if I'm hallucinating or what? β
Li Ke didn't say anything, the fairy tale didn't speak again, and the room fell silent.
Outside the window, the gloomy sky in the distance began to brighten, and after a cup of tea, it actually rained foxes.
The fairy tale listened to the sound of the rain, counted the number of times Li could type on the keyboard, and pondered: The weather is really like people's hearts, and it changes when it is said, without any warning.
After six o'clock, the alarm clock that Li Ke had set rang off, and it was inconvenient to order takeout here, so he could only go out to eat with his fairy tale. After looking for a few old streets, I found a small restaurant that looked relatively clean and had more customers, ordered good dishes, and waited for the waiter to serve the dishes with the melon seeds that were given away.
Fairy Tale swept around and saw the man who had come to borrow the towel before, with two children sitting on his left and right, the plates on the table were empty, and it seemed that he had finished eating.
Just as she was about to remind Li Ke, she found that he came over with the two children.
"It's you, what a coincidence."
Li Ke stood up and nodded politely, "Yes, yes, it's quite a coincidence." β
The man glanced quickly at the door, pushed the child to him, and lowered his voice: "Young man, I don't sound like a local in your accent, where are you from?" Oh oh oh, I mean, I'm going to Chang'an to look for relatives, and it's the first time I've been here, and I don't know where the train station is. β
Li Ke thought to himself for a moment, took the man out and carefully told him where to go, closest to the train station, and then returned to the restaurant, and went back after eating.
At this time, the rain outside was loud, knocking on the glass window was like knocking on the door, fairy tales since they separated from the man, always felt that something was wrong with her, and heard the murmur of pushing the suitcase in the corridor outside, she called Li Ke: "You say, if a big man asks for directions with two children, will anyone not tell him?" Why do you keep asking? β
"What the hell do you want to know?"
"I, I just don't think it makes sense."
Not only does the fairy tale think so, Li Ke also thinks that men are very strange.
"Roar!" Fairy Tale suddenly had an idea, and at the same time, Li Ke's face sank, and he quickly got up, grabbed the coat hanging on the wall hook, and scooped up Fairy Tale and went out together.
I didn't see the innkeeper downstairs, and asked the person who entered the house, saying that there was a tenant who fled without paying the rest of the money, and the boss probably chased someone.
On second thought, who would it be if it wasn't that man?
Li Ke stuffed the fairy tale into the inner pocket of his clothes, put his hands on his head and braved the heavy rain, and ran all the way to an unfamiliar street with three or five men with umbrellas.
Sure enough, as he guessed, these were all neighbors who were kind enough to help the innkeeper chase people, and they caught someone and took them directly to the police station.
Li can be mixed in with the men who are still angry and are often questioned by comrades, talking for half an hour, you can probably know:
The man came out of the remote Phoenix Village to Chang'an to borrow money from relatives, the two children were not stolen and trafficked, it was his own and his cousin's son, the bus here was touched by pickpockets, and he had to beg the innkeeper to give him a room to live in for a few days, and then secretly escaped.
What shocked the fairy tale the most was that this man's name was Tong Qiguan, and his sister-in-law, who had traveled thousands of miles to ask for help, lived near No. 1 Middle School, named Shen Xiang, and she only had one son and one granddaughter.
Doesn't this make it clear that you are talking about yourself?
The innkeeper didn't mean to tell Tong Qiguan, he felt sorry for the two children, and let them stay for a few nights for free, Li could sympathize with him, pay for his room, and several people went back to the hotel together.
Closing the door, Li Ke began to take off his soaked coat, and after a long time of not hearing the fairy tale chatter, he tentatively threw out a sentence:
"Are you still wondering what the relationship between men and your family is?"
Fairy Tale was stunned for a moment, and thought for a while, "Not exactly, my grandmother, and my father never mentioned that there are any relatives on my grandfather's side, I was thinking, even if he really went to our house, the subsidy was only for a while, and it didn't play a big role." β
