Chapter 22: Old Acquaintances

Originally, they didn't know each other, but they were just customers staying in the same hotel. When the man said this, I was stunned, and it took me ten seconds to figure out the literal meaning of his words, and another ten seconds to fill my blank brain.

Yan Qiu asked, "Do you know each other?" "I just came to my senses.

I shook my head unconsciously, and then looked at the man from head to toe. Dark-skinned, probably in his forties, short enough to see scalp hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, plain half-sleeves, sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers that didn't match his age at all.

It can be seen from the upright body that this person also joined the army when he was young, and his behavior is similar to Zhao Tiesuo.

I searched my memory bank hard, but I couldn't find anything to do with this person, I thought I didn't have face blindness, if there was someone who could meet and greet me, and I couldn't remember at all, it was either a porter in Zhou's shop, or an apprentice in an auto repair shop. However, looking at his age, there is no problem with his body, and the porter will definitely not be able to do it. In the case of the repair shop, it must have been mixed up to the master level.

I usually rarely be with the fat brother, and I don't necessarily look at each other when I sympathize with each other, so I can know the two of us at the same time, that is, the friends around me, there are really few outsiders, and in this strange environment, I simply froze.

People greet each other with smiling faces, I can't pretend not to know, in fact, I really don't know, and I can't turn to the side of the narrow corridor, the scene is simply embarrassing.

My eyes turned to the fat brother again, wanting to ask the fat brother for help.

The fat brother scratched his head with one hand at this time, frowned, and maintained a state of trying to remember, and it could be seen that he, like me, simply did not have this person in his impression.

The fat brother also turned his head to look at me, and then said to the eldest brother, "You recognize the wrong person, right?" We don't think we've seen it before. ”

This situation is very likely, once in the mall, I recognized other people's backs as Sister Hua, and finally was forced to leave by other people's sisters, call me in the middle of the night after drinking too much, and chatter for more than an hour. Even I can admit Sister Hua as a mistake, let alone this big brother who is a little old.

After listening to the fat brother's words, the man did not show an embarrassed expression of recognizing the wrong person, but still complained with a smile on his face: "You young people, you are not very old, and your memory is not very good, I guess you can't remember, think about it." ”

It seems that this person really knows the two of us, and I memorized the list of business owners who usually drag me to do things, but to no avail.

Yan Qiu hurriedly said: "We drove all night yesterday, and now everyone is sleepy, maybe the brains of these two goods are wooden, since they are old acquaintances, don't be surprised, give me a wake-up." ”

The man was not annoyed, but still said to me with a smile: "You two go to Mount Tai to play, how do you go to the hotel when you come down?" ”

I immediately understood, when I came down from Mount Tai with the fat brother, I had just experienced life and death, and I was covered in injuries, not to mention, because I had just lost Jiang Li and was extremely sad, and there was only one thought in my heart, hurry up and leave there and return to the hotel, how could I pay attention to the face of a taxi driver at night?

However, as soon as he reminded me, the attitude and speed of speaking immediately came to my mind, and it was indeed the taxi driver.

People who have been doing taxi business all year round have a specialty, they face many customers, and their faces are also extraordinarily strong, no wonder they recognized us at a glance, at that time the state of the two of us, I am afraid that in the passengers, it is also different, and it is not strange to still remember it now, I am afraid that we are also used as a negative teaching material by him, and it has become an example of him reminding those tourists to pay attention to safety.

A memory was reopened, it was really refreshing, it tortured me, I almost collapsed, and my face was filled with a smile of acquaintances.

As soon as I was about to speak, the fat brother preemptively said, "Brother? ”

The man smiled knowingly and nodded.

It can be regarded as the truth revealed, although there was only one side of the relationship before, and he was not so familiar, but at that time, he was the first living person we came out of the crater, the first living person to have normal communication, and the first person to witness the two of us escape from death, which can't help but be a little kind.

I greeted and said, "You're also here for a tour?" ”

The elder brother shook his head and said, "No, someone else has chartered my car, and they have come to do errands, including food and accommodation, and I will pull them back when they finish their errands." ”

The fat brother also smiled and said, "Are you going out for breakfast?" ”

The brother nodded and said, "Call me Lao Li, I have a driver with me, waiting for me there." ”

I hurriedly turned sideways and said to him, "Then don't delay you, hurry up and have breakfast, let's find a room." ”

Lao Li asked me, "What is the room?" ”

I looked at the two room cards in my hand and replied, "202 and 217." ”

He enthusiastically pointed us to the door, and the two rooms were right opposite each other.

Then Lao Li looked at Yan Qiu and Jiang Li beside me, and asked with a smile, "This is to bring a girlfriend to play?" ”

The fat brother didn't forget to joke and said, "Yes, it's all his girlfriends, not mine." ”

Lao Li was amused to laugh, and we nodded goodbye to each other.

Seeing Lao Li's back turn and go downstairs, the four of us quickly walked to the door of 202, and the open door went in.

The interior is fairly clean, with a fluffy green carpet on the floor. The window is facing the street, so you can see the vehicles and pedestrians on the road outside, but because the outside is not busy, the interior is not very noisy.

Between the two single beds is a bedside table, and a TV cabinet is opposite, with a 21-inch TV wiped down and a hanger next to it.

The toilet is the shower, and the disposable items in it are also neatly arranged. The whole room is not big, and judging from the furnishings, it is slightly more crowded than the hotel where Zheng Yingying rents a house.

The four of us had not slept all night, and we were fighting the bandits, and we were all tired now, and as soon as we entered the house, we threw our bags on the ground and threw them all into bed.

The three of them moved relatively quickly, they all sat on the bed, and found a comfortable position to lean on, Jiang Li leaned on Yan Qiu, half-lying.

I was relegated to sitting on the edge of the fat brother's bed.

I took out the map I had just gotten at the front desk and unfolded it on the bedside table. According to the street signs we saw along the way, it was easy to find the exact location of the hotel, so I asked Jiang Li: "Tell me, which direction is the place you are going?" ”

Jiang Li got up, lay on the windowsill and watched for a while, and then said to me: "I can't see it here, and then it's opposite." ”

The house is sitting on the north and facing south, which means that it has to go north.

I asked Jiang Li again, "How far do you think it is from us?" ”

Jiang Li thought for a while and said, "It should be the distance from your house to here." ”

As soon as I heard it, my eyes almost fell to the ground, and I drove so far, and I have to go so far? I measured it with my fingers on the map again, and then I went so far to the north, then I would be in Mongolia, and I went abroad, with our ability, it was really difficult to do it, should it be really useless this time?

In order to avoid hitting Jiang Li too hard, I didn't say that I couldn't do it, but said vaguely: "According to what you said, we estimate that we can go abroad, it's not our local business, we can do it or not, and don't be obsessed if we can't do it." ”

Jiang Li replied firmly: "No, we have to figure it out, this is not a trivial matter, maybe it is related to the survival of mankind." ”

I looked at the fat brother helplessly.

The fat brother obviously didn't have any good way, squinted his eyes and said, "Sleep first, and when you have rested, let's think about it in the long run." ”

After speaking, Yan Qiu and Jiang Li picked up the room card and went to 217 on the opposite side, while Fat Brother and I stayed at 202.

As soon as the two girls went out, the fat brother said to me: "This thing is not easy to do, no matter how you say it, you will go to a foreign country to toss, and we haven't tossed it in China, don't die in a foreign country anymore, I'm afraid my ability is limited." ”

I also nodded and said, "Yes, but Jiang Li, this little girl is too stubborn, if we don't help her and don't say anything about disappointment, it is estimated that she will not go back with us and go abroad by herself, which will be a bad thing." ”

The fat brother pondered for a while and said, "Then if you really want to go abroad, do you still have to apply for a passport?" I heard that it's very troublesome to run that thing, so we probably have to go back to our homes and open a letter of introduction from the neighborhood committee. ”

Although my parents are abroad, I really don't know much about the process of going abroad.

I thought about it for a while, and remembered that I had seen several travel agencies on the road, so I said to the fat brother: "Is it possible to apply for a tourist passport, anyway, we will not go to Mongolia for permanent residence, go to bed first, and when we wake up in the afternoon, let's find a travel agency, consult well, and then make a decision." ”

The fat brother replied: "That's all it can be." Then he walked to the bathroom.
