Chapter 12 Ask for a mobile phone number

At the foot of the hill of Longquan Temple, there are several families scattered on the ground. On the door of a small bungalow with bare yellow bricks, a few large characters were crookedly painted with white lime: Longquan Health Center.

To be honest, if I were in my hometown, this simple bungalow might not even be as good as a pig barn, which can't help but make me sneer at this so-called health center. But can I still laugh now? Displaced in a foreign land, I became a laborer in a small restaurant, and I only had more than 100 yuan in my pocket, so I was glad that I was able to bandage the wound on my forehead in this humble health center in the mountainous area. Because, this gives me enough confidence that the few poor little money in my pocket can meet the needs of paying the expenses, and avoid the embarrassment of asking Tan Min to pay for me because I don't have the money.

Although the abbot of Longquan Temple said that he would ask Master Yuanming to send some medical expenses, and I also believe that the monks would not lie, but I don't expect this at all, after all, if my wound is bandaged, but I don't leave the health center and wait for Master Yuanming to come, this may cause Tan Min to disdain me.

The rustic village doctor at the Longquan Health Center smeared some red potion on my wound, cut a few strips of adhesive tape, and put cotton gauze on my forehead, and the whole treatment process was over.

Tan Min looked at the gauze on my forehead and couldn't help but laugh. She covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Xiaomo, I'm really embarrassed, my uncle asked you to accompany me to Longquan Temple, but I hurt your forehead." It doesn't matter to you, right? ”

I shook my head again and again, pretending not to care, and said, "What is this little injury?" I don't even feel the pain! ”

Tan Min smiled and quipped, "Oops! Brother Mo, I found that you have a veil on your forehead, but you are much more handsome than before! ”

I smiled awkwardly, and was trying to avoid the topic when Tan Min's phone rang. After a while, Tan Min ended the call and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaomo, my classmate learned that I came here, and I want to invite me to dinner!" ”

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Mo, I'm really sorry, I can't let you accompany you for dinner." I have several classmates here, and while I'm here today, we all happen to get together. Their family conditions are relatively good, I'm afraid I took you there, they know that you work in my uncle's restaurant, and they will laugh at you. ”

As soon as I heard this, my heart immediately overturned the five-flavor bottle, and I pretended to say calmly: "Xiaomin, it's okay." In this way, you go to dinner, I will go shopping in the city alone, and when you are done, I will wait for you to go back together. ”

Well, what kind of business is this? In fact, I know in my heart that Tan Min is afraid that her classmates will misunderstand me as her boyfriend and dislike me as a working boy to embarrass her. It's just that the dragon is trapped in the shallows, the tiger falls in Pingyang, and the predicament in front of me has to make me, who was arrogant in the past, swallow my anger.

Tan Min chuckled and said, "Then please trouble Brother Mo to wait for me!" In a while, you will drive to the city by yourself, and my classmate will pick me up by car! ”

I nodded, and when Tan Min was about to leave, I suddenly remembered something, and quickly stopped her: "Xiaomin, I don't know your mobile phone number yet!" ”

Tan Min was stunned and said suspiciously: "Brother Xiaomo, what do you want my mobile phone number for?" ”

I pretended to be an understatement and said, "Xiaomin, didn't I promise to wait for you to go back together!" How can I contact you at night without your mobile phone number? ”

Tan Min's face flushed slightly, and he said softly: "Ah! I'm also confused! Brother Mo, don't you have a mobile phone? I can't reach you if I ask for my number! ”

I rolled my eyes, and immediately thought of a trick to deal with her, and said with a smile: "Xiaomin, this is not simple?" Wouldn't it be good if you made an appointment and I'd call you from the payphone? ”

Tan Min grinned and said, "Brother Mo is really smart, this method is good!" Let's go first, and I'll give you the number at the bus stop at the foot of the mountain! ”

I secretly rejoiced in my heart: as long as you give me my mobile phone number, I will have a chance in the future, and I don't believe that I can't catch up with the goddess in my heart.

Not long after we walked out of the health center, when we occasionally turned around, we saw a yellow figure walking into the health room. Tan Min sighed: "This must be Master Yuanming, the monks are really compassionate, I really miss Brother Xiaomo's injury, and I must have sent medical expenses." ”

I said lightly: "Xiaomin, fortunately, we took a step earlier, otherwise, the medical expenses of these few yuan would have been paid by Master Yuanming, so others don't know what Lu Dao thinks of us!" ”

Tan Min hummed softly, suddenly 'huh', and stopped walking. I said suspiciously, "Xiaomin, why don't you leave?" ”

Tan Min's face turned slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "Brother Xiaomo, my classmate came to pick me up." There is a bus stop in front of us, so let's go separately! ”

On the bus stop not far ahead, leaning on a bright red sports car, it looks particularly dazzling in the sun. Although I can't see what kind of car it is from such a distance, I can be sure that it is a luxury car with a lot of value.

I felt a sour feeling in my heart, and by feeling, the person in the car was very likely to be a man, and it could also be Tan Min's suitor. I stood there in frustration, Tan Min didn't notice my strange look because she was excited, she rummaged in the small bag for a while, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Mo, I forgot to bring a notepad, and I can't find a paper to copy the number for you." ”

At that moment, a trace of anger swelled up in my heart inexplicably. Tan Min, are you playing with me? If something hadn't happened, would I have been reduced to this point and you should look down on me?

I looked at Tan Min in front of me with mixed feelings, and for a moment my mind flashed the inky blue giant snake that was entangled in the Longquan Tower with the immovable Ming King, and I suddenly felt that Tan Min was like that snake. Of course, this absurd idea comes from the anger and inferiority complex in my heart, and I am quite self-aware of this.

I suddenly felt a soft warmth in my hand, like an electric shock, which brought me back to my senses. I saw Tan Min looking at me with a smile, and those delicate white hands were holding my hands. She smiled coquettishly and said, "Brother Mo, the mobile phone number is given to you!" There's nothing to call me casually, and around eight o'clock in the evening, I guess dinner should be over! You wait here for a while, and then you go to the bus stop after I'm gone, bye-bye!" ”

As soon as Tan Min finished speaking, he walked towards the bus stop like a willow in the wind, and the sky-blue dress was like a blue lotus blooming in the breeze.

I watched in a daze as Min Min waved his hand to the car, two women and a man got out of the car, greeting Tan Min affectionately, and after a while, everyone got into the car and disappeared from my field of vision.

Extremely lost and frustrated, I took a sip and realized that I was holding a note in my hand. It must be the mobile phone number left by Tan Min, I quickly picked it up and looked at it, and I couldn't help but laugh dumbly. It turned out that I couldn't find the number written on paper, so Tan Min actually copied the mobile phone number on a ten-yuan bill and handed it to me.

At that moment, my heart was filled with hope again, and the unhappiness was swept away. Looking back at the Longquan Temple with a corner of yellow bricks faintly exposed on the mountain, I secretly prayed: Buddha bless, I swear that in this life, I must marry Tan Min!

Strange to say, this thought just came to my heart, and I suddenly felt a dark in front of my eyes, although I couldn't see my own appearance, but I could actually feel very strangely, a black lotus faintly flashed on my forehead.

For no reason, a strong desire appeared in my heart, and even a hint of physical impulse. Even though there was no one around, I still felt very embarrassed. I hurried down the hill to the bus stop, and the footage from the blood-pumping little movie I had secretly watched in college occupied my entire mind.

After taking the bus to the city, I wandered around aimlessly. This small city on the southwest border is very different from the mainland, and even has a bit of an exotic atmosphere. The beautiful women on the street constantly stimulated my filthy nerves and made me feel unbearably hot.

A newsstand on the side of the street attracted me, and for me, I was stretched thin, and buying a few newspapers was probably the best way to pass the long wait.

I bought a few newspapers and asked for a bottle of mineral water. After a few sips, his eyes fell on a dilapidated storefront not far from the newsstand.

It was a thrift store, and the number Tan Min gave me made me feel an indescribable thirst for mobile phones at the moment. What kind of mobile phone can you buy for more than 100 yuan? If I was in my hometown, I would not even use a mobile phone that gave me more than 1,000 mobile phones, but at the moment, this thrift store is full of temptation in my eyes.

My hand reached into my trouser pocket, pinched my worst capital, hesitated, and finally stepped into the thrift store. The owner, a middle-aged man in his fifties, was lying shirtless on a bamboo recliner with his eyes closed, probably because he had no business.

Hearing me coming in, he opened his eyes, looked at me, and lazily closed his eyes again. Even this guy doesn't care about me, which makes me feel even more sad.

I glanced around the counter of his shop, and finally found a worn-out domestic miscellaneous machine. I pretended to be calm and asked, "Boss, how much does this phone cost?" ”

Hearing me ask the price, the boss became interested. He got up from the recliner, followed the direction of my finger, glanced at it, and the excitement in his eyes immediately disappeared.

The shopkeeper said contemptuously: "Young man, don't you take a look at the machine here?" The machines here are in good condition and quality, and they are all eliminated by those who are in a hurry with fashion. ”

For the sake of face, I lied: "Boss, I bought an old mobile phone because I studied electronics in college and wanted to take it apart and study it, not so high-end." ”

The boss said disappointedly: "You really want that, you can take it for thirty yuan!" ”

Only thirty dollars? This was a big surprise to me! Not allowing the Lord to see what I really thought, I quickly figured out the money, didn't bargain with the boss at all, threw it on the counter, and walked out of the mobile phone store.
