Chapter 0024 - Encounter ...... in a Foreign Land
Zhou Qingfeng did not go to the thirteenth district of Bali as Erica suggested. Because the idea that can be thought of casually, the enemy can think of it even more. Going to the Chinese Quarter may bring some convenience in life, but whether it is the old Carolingian or Jing Fang, if you want to find him, you will also go to the Chinese Quarter to search.
Now that he can speak French, a lot of things are easy to solve.
The old man in Gaul, who helped him get out of trouble, drove Zhou Qingfeng away. When asked where he was going, the exotic visitor who had no idea of Gaul and Peare casually said 'First Zone'......
As a result, Zhou Qingfeng was sent to the Louvre in the 1st arrondissement. Taking off his motorcycle helmet, he stood outside the palace square, with the world-famous glass pyramid in front of him.
Tourists, palaces, lonely outsiders.
Zhou Qingfeng felt lonely when he was in China and had no friends. He has no relatives when he goes abroad, and he is still chasing a bunch of troubles behind his ass. He threw away his phone in a trash can that could be tracked, followed the crowds into the glass pyramid of the Louvre, took a free tourist map, and left the metro station under the 'pyramid'.
The people in the carriage are strange and varied. The subway rumbled from platform to platform, monotonous and tedious. Zhou Qingfeng slipped aimlessly from station to station, sometimes following the flow of people, sometimes looking at the map and wandering around. To him, it didn't seem to matter where he went.
Just when Zhou Qingfeng felt that he was a little hungry, the subway stopped and the carriage door opened. A woman pushing a stroller is about to get off the train - some subway platforms in Palli are very strange, and the gap between the train and the platform is very large. The woman pushing the stroller tried twice but couldn't push it out, and she was quite anxious.
The sound of the car door closing was ringing.
Zhou Qingfeng walked over quickly and grabbed the stroller. As he and the woman in the cart walked safely to the platform, the door of the subway train closed right behind them. The woman breathed a sigh of relief at this, and looked back and smiled gratefully: "Thank you so much, I almost thought I was going to be caught." ”
"It's fine." Zhou Qingfeng turned around again, and the subway train had already started slowly and left the platform.
The woman said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid you'll have to take the next train, I hope you won't be delayed because of this." ”
"Oh......, it's okay." Zhou Qingfeng shook his head with a wry smile, "I actually don't have a destination. ”
When she saw the tourist map in Zhou Qingfeng's hand, the woman asked again, "Are you a tourist?" ”
"Ah....., yes." Zhou Qingfeng nodded, there was an ordinary Gallic woman in front of him, not special. He didn't mean to talk to the other party deeply, just did the other party a small favor and chatted a few words.
The Gallic woman looked at Zhou Qingfeng carefully, and seemed to see through his thoughts, "Are you looking for a place to live?" ”
Of course, Zhou Qingfeng needed to find a place to live. But all his documents have been lost in the hospital ward, and he is having a headache about where to go? When the woman asked, he smiled awkwardly, "Ah, yes." I had just arrived in Peare and really needed to find a place to live. ”
"You're Chinese, aren't you?"
"Uh......, yes."
"I know a friend, maybe she can help you."
Eh......?
Zhou Qingfeng blinked his eyes, and the woman pushing the stroller smiled and tilted her head towards him, signaling to follow. He just stupidly followed out of the subway station and followed him all the way on the unfamiliar street. There are flower shops, restaurants, churches, and all kinds of people and scenery on both sides of the road. Eventually, he followed him to a very small tourist gift shop.
This small shop is a bit similar to the kind of sex toys sold in urban villages, with very small doors and a narrow area inside the store. There are also a few yellowed intermediary notices for tourism and study abroad at the door. There are two rows of shelves in the store, and there is a woman sitting behind the cash register, with her head down at a computer screen, not knowing what she is doing?
The Gallic woman with the stroller seems to live nearby and seems to be familiar with the woman who works in the store. She knocked on the glass door outside and shouted, "Hi Laura, I've got you in some trouble." You have a compatriot who needs help. ”
After the Gallic woman finished speaking, she waved her hand at Zhou Qingfeng, as if she was satisfied with 'learn from Lei Feng and do good deeds'. The 'Laura' in the store walked out, first shouted thank you to the Gallic woman, and then turned her head to look at Zhou Qingfeng carefully.
Zhou Qingfeng wore an old dress, which was not very fitting and slightly short. The old Gallic man who helped him out of trouble gave him his son's clothes. Although he was perfect in both physique and figure, his outfit lowered the perception of him - the Gallic woman with the stroller saw him as an unlucky person in need of help.
The woman named 'Laura' was an Asian face, in her twenties, unpowdered, plain-faced, and dressed very casually. As soon as she opened her mouth, she said in Chinese, "Hello. ”
"Hello." Zhou Qingfeng stretched out his hand and shook the other party, "I'm actually ......." ”
Laura' interrupted and asked, "Do you have legal ID?" ”
Yes......?
Zhou Qingfeng shook his head dumbfoundedly, he didn't dare to say where he came from, and no one believed him.
"Illegal immigrants?" Laura asked again. She seems to be very familiar with Zhou Qingfeng's current situation, and she doesn't think twice about asking questions.
"Uh......" Zhou Qingfeng dragged the elder in a tone, he really didn't enter Gaul in a normal way, "Sort of." ”
"Look at you like this, you don't have any money in your pocket." Laura sighed, shook her head, and said, "Forget it, I'm very common with people like you." You don't have to make up stories about how pathetic you are, and I don't care where you come from. I can help you find a job and stay in Gaul. You must work for more than half a year. Within half a year, you will have to pay me half of your salary as an introduction fee. ”
Listening to the tone of 'Laura', Zhou Qingfeng is completely a poor worm waiting for her redemption. Zhou Qingfeng thought angrily: "What do you think of me?" I was also very tough in the morning Gaul Jingcha, and became famous all over the world. Now you treat me like a flower child, and you look down on people too much. ”
Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng seemed to be very dissatisfied, 'Laura' returned to his narrow cash register, grabbed a pen and turned it around at his fingertips, and said lazily: "It's lucky that you met me." I'm already very cheap, and changing to another can make you work for nothing for a year. If you run into those black-hearted guys in Chinatown, they can drain you of the oil and water and report you to the immigration authorities. ”
I am a person with a long-term residence permit and I am not afraid of the Gallic immigration authorities.
Forget it, uncle, I am a person who can't see the light.
People are under the eaves, bow your head.
Zhou Qingfeng reluctantly walked into this small gift shop, and felt that this ghost place was so narrow that he couldn't turn around. He stood at 'Laura' and asked, "Can you help me get back home?" ”
"What?" Laura' asked in surprise, "How long have you been in Gaul?" ”
"Two or three weeks."
"Can't stand it?"
Who can stand it?
first deceived Lao Tzu that he had a huge inheritance, but when he arrived at Bali and didn't see a dime, he was bombed, and he almost lost his life. Now that I've managed to escape from those bastards, am I going to stay and play with them? Although the mystery of the parents is still unsolved, the current situation is ......
Running away like a coward is really too wasteful.
Zhou Qingfeng nodded with a sigh, he didn't know what to say - others like Gaul, and feel that this place is romantic, amorous, leisurely, and as comfortable as heaven. But he was destined to be black in Gaul all his life!
Alas, ......, 'Laura' looked angry and said earnestly: "I see that you are not very old, so you have just graduated from high school." You said that now the country is not bad, and you can support your family by delivering a takeaway, what are you doing abroad? And after all the hard work, you are afraid of hardship and want to go back, are you sick? ”
Where am I afraid of hardship? I'm afraid I'm dying!
Zhou Qingfeng really has bitterness that he can't say, and he is forced to go home.
'Laura' spread her hands again and said, "If you want to go back to China, I can't help you." You go to the embassy and maybe get a free ticket. ”
Going to the embassy?
Zhou Qingfeng asked silently: "Is it okay to smuggle out?" ”
"I don't know, I'll have to ask someone from the embassy." Laura shrugged again, "I guess not only do you not have legal documents in Gaul, but you don't even have a passport or visa. It's hard for someone like you to go back to China, I can't help it. ”
"Wait." Seeing that 'Laura' looked like she was going to drive herself away, Zhou Qingfeng had to say gloomily: "Then I'll find a job first." ”
'Laura' sneered again and asked, "What skills do you have?" If you don't know anything, you can only go to a Chinese restaurant to wash the dishes. ”
What will it be? Zhou Qingfeng has worked a lot of odd jobs before, but if you want to say that professional skills are still equal to zero. He drooped his head and said, "Brush the dishes, just brush the dishes." I'll save some money before I make other plans. ”
Hehehe...... 'Laura' smiled again: "Hey...... boy, actually, I don't think you need to brush the dishes at all." Your physique looks good, and your looks are okay, and you may be able to go to the entertainment industry by dressing up. ”
What?
Zhou Qingfeng looked suspicious.
'Laura' laughed, "We are the 10th district of Palle. The law and order is relatively poor. There's a lot of petty theft or something. There are a lot of small hotels and hostels here, and there are also many nightclubs. The 18th arrondissement to the north is the main venue for Pali nightlife, the famous red light district. Would you like to try it over there? The money comes quickly. ”
Your sister is in the entertainment industry!
Zhou Qingfeng's face was ugly, iron and iron.
Seeing that this little guy couldn't make a joke, 'Laura' waved her hand and said, "If you don't like it, forget it, you better go and wash the dishes." I'll make a few phone calls and take you to a worker. There are a couple of good Chinese restaurants nearby that are short of people, and you should be able to get to work easily. ”
'Laura' grabbed the business card case in front of the desk, picked up a few and started making calls. But I don't know if Zhou Qingfeng is unlucky or what, 'Laura' even made a few phone calls, and the restaurant opposite said that it was not hiring. In the end, she could only spread her hands apologetically and say, "I'm sorry, I tried my best." Recently, Gaul has not been peaceful, there are few tourists, and the restaurant business is not doing well. ”
Zhou Qingfeng felt that he had bowed to reality, who knew that the reality was more cruel than he imagined. He couldn't even find a place to stay, so he could only sigh and get up and leave Laura's shop. Seeing him leave, 'Laura' also ran out and shouted, "Hey, don't wander around here, this area is not safe." ”
"I'm not around here, where can I go?" Zhou Qingfeng drooped his head and waved his hand without looking back, obviously not listening.
Laura's shop is located in the 10th district of Palle. There are two train stations in this district and there are many passengers. This kind of place with a lot of people is very poor, and it is even more unsafe at night. 'Laura' lives in the 19th district, east of the 10th district, which is the second Chinese gathering area in Pali, and the law and order is not good, so few people dare to go out at night.
In fact, before it was dark, there were many Afghans and African-Americans on the streets. These people often don't have a job, so they wander around all day long, rob and rape when they see an opportunity, and have the audacity to do so - there was a case in which the vice chairman of the Bali family took a car to the airport, and was smashed by two robbers on motorcycles and snatched his handbag.
Even if this kind of thing happened in Africa, it actually happened in Pear.
What a strange story!
Before it got dark, 'Laura' closed the shop and drove home. She didn't dare to slow down indiscriminately all the way, and her eyes had to keep an eye on the suspicious characters on the street, for fear that she would also be robbed.
Nowadays, there is a joke that there are two kinds of Chinese in Pear-one who have been robbed and those who are about to be robbed. 'Laura' doesn't want to go through either of these situations. It's just that today's events are a little special......
While passing through an intersection, a man suddenly flew out of the crosscut and fell in front of Laura's car. She hurriedly braked sharply and barely stopped the car. The first reaction was that the robbers of Peare were playing a new trick on porcelain, and 'Laura' hurriedly looked around her vehicle, wondering whether to reverse and escape, or run over directly?
But when Laura turned her head, she saw a tall man on the side of the road beating a taller and stout black man. The black man who was beaten was at least 1.9 meters, and he was as stout as a big horse monkey. It's just that he will be beaten like a noodle, and he will be pressed against the wall by another man on his stomach, punching and punching.
The violent man scolded extremely angrily every time he punched: "Grass mud horse, grass mud horse!" If you take a small broken knife, you dare to rob Lao Tzu. Do I look like a bully? And say 'Hi', Hi Nima, do I know you?! ”
The had been beaten unconscious, and his face was covered in blood. The other who was thrown out at the beginning crawled on the ground with his hands and feet, trying to get away from the extremely manic demon behind him.
The two are both big guys who practice fitness and fighting every day, and the tendons and flesh on their chests can jump and jump. They met the guy halfway, and when they saw that he was a rich and bully Asian fat sheep, they were immediately overjoyed.
It stands to reason that if you show the knife, the end is doomed. But after walking a lot at night, I finally met a ghost, and the two said 'Hi', and the guy who was obviously drooping his head and hanging his head opened Wushuang in the next second - that fist was really made of iron, hard and ruthless. Ordinary people take a beating, and half a life is gone.
beat more than a dozen punches in a row, and the one who opened the peerless still didn't understand his hatred. He grabbed the beaten again and threw it into a large dumpster on the side of the road. Before he lost it, he also searched the body of the, but he didn't find it. Just as he was about to stride away in hatred, Laura, who was driving, honked the horn and the high beams flashed twice.
"Hey, you seem to be very good at fighting?" 'Laura' drove up and stared at the bloody and angry man on the side of the road.
"Why are you again?" Naturally, Uncle Zhou has nowhere to go. He had nowhere else to go, so he wandered the streets in the afternoon, bought something to eat at a small supermarket, and probably had to find a place like a park to spend the night when it got dark - but he didn't want to be stopped by two head-on, and in a fit of rage, he immediately beat each other up as a boxing bag.
It turns out that the 'hand-to-hand combat' ability that I learned from Erica is quite useful, but it requires more practice and theory. Zhou Qingfeng practiced very well as soon as he started!
"Get in the car." 'Laura' said.
"Why should I get in your car?" Zhou Qingfeng has just 'warmed up', and he is very excited, and he wants to find someone to fight a few more times. He was full of inexplicable anger at the moment, and he wanted to find someone to vent.
"I originally thought that if I met you again, I would recommend you to a Chinese restaurant or supermarket in another area. But seeing that you are so good at playing, there may be a more promising job for you. ”
"I really just wanted to go back to my country, and I didn't want to stay in Gaul at all. But I can't go, I have to stay. However, I have no idea how to stay in this place. ”
"I don't think you can return to China through normal channels. So I finally ask you, can't you get on the bus? If you don't get it, I'll go. This neighborhood is notoriously unsafe, and I'm not as good as you. ”
The vehicle was slightly ahead of its time and stopped.
"Are you really letting me in the car? I don't have much money. Zhou Qingfeng also stopped, looked at the calm expression of 'Laura' in the driver's seat, sighed, pulled the car door and sat in, "Forget it, it's good to have someone take me in." ”
After getting into the car, 'Laura' stretched out her hand and smiled: "Meet me, my Chinese name is Huang Li." What about you? ”
"Hugo, Victor. Hugo. Zhou Qingfeng said expressionlessly.
"Hey, I'm asking for your real name." Laura glared at her and said angrily, "Why don't you call Napoleon for such nonsense. Bonaparte? ”
Zhou Qingfeng closed his eyes slightly, sighed and said, "From the day I arrived in Gaul, this is also my real name." ”
