Chapter 10: The Uninvited Woman
Lying on the passenger window, looking at Shen Lang who was smoking in the ferry step, her cheeks were a little painful from the wind outside.
The weather in November is getting colder and colder, and although she has changed into cotton clothes and warm clothes, the cold wind is still pervasive.
Retracting from the air conditioner, she moved from the co-pilot to the bed in the back, and when she was about to fall asleep, she heard the door slam shut.
I only heard Shen Lang say hatefully: "If you don't let Lao Tzu get on the highway, Lao Tzu will take the highway, isn't it a long distance!" ”
She wanted to laugh, but she felt her thoughts drift away, and the sound of the engine became a little dazed.
There's no end to it, she thought.
"Egg scones! Pot dishes! Tofu brain! Authentic Tianjin dog ignores buns! ”
The lively shouting woke up Huairou, who was already sleeping lightly, and the regional tone didn't need to be seen to know, and now it should be in Tianjin.
The car had stopped, and the blue curtain that was blocked by the driver's seat was opened, and Shen Lang poked his head over and asked, "Wake up?" Go down and get something to eat. ”
I don't know how long I slept this night, I didn't have a mobile phone, no alarm clock, and I couldn't even control the time, I could only tell from the sky that it was about nine o'clock.
She shuddered when she got out of the car and left the air-conditioned room, but Shen Lang had already sat down at the simple breakfast stall on the roadside, and she saw that there were not many people eating.
A few young people at the side table who looked like tourists seemed to be arguing about something, but the sound was not small, attracting everyone else to look at that place.
"What do you mean? Said okay to go to Jiangsu Slender West Lake, your mother is sick and you have to leave! I'm telling you, if you're gone, we'll be finished! ”
A beautiful girl in a pink cotton suit points to a man with glasses and a look of embarrassment, and a girl with short hair next to her helps to make peace.
"Qianqian, Dawei, isn't there an urgent matter at home. Travel anytime, just ...... next time"
The girl called Qianqian threw her aside, and her tone was very unceremonious, like a spoiled eldest lady.
"What's next time, next time, I took all my annual leave for this trip, he's good, and now I'm going back? I tell you, whoever wants to go, I must go to Slender West Lake! ”
She wasn't interested in such a drama, but the two tables were too close to each other, even if Huairou didn't want to listen to it, the sound drilled into her ears.
"Hmph...... Your mother's heart disease is not a day or two, every time you come out with me, she will get sick, I see that she just looks at me unpleasantly so she pretends to be sick, whether you go to Slender West Lake or not! ”
There was still a quarrel over there, and the boss here had already come over with breakfast.
"Your two steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and two bowls of tofu brains are all ready."
It was easy to wait until breakfast, and when she saw it, the dirty dishes and chopsticks, and the stained dining table, Huairou frowned.
Shen Lang didn't seem to see this, so he picked up the bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
Huairou thought about it, poured vinegar on the plate and shook the dishes and chopsticks, and then began to use the chopsticks to eat breakfast.
Glimpsing her movements, Shen Lang didn't say anything, he ate quickly, and then asked for some buns and egg scones to pack.
She was a little unaccustomed to these things, so she reluctantly ate some tight food to fill her stomach and followed in two steps.
I put away the packed breakfast, pulled the doorknob and was about to close the door, when the half-open door was blocked by a pink suitcase.
The loud door was opened from the outside, and the luggage was thrown at her feet very chicly, and then Zheng Qianqian went to the front and opened the passenger door and got into the car.
"I'll give you a thousand cash, just send me to Slender West Lake."
"Qianqian, you come down for me!" The man in hot pursuit banged the car door.
Shen Lang looked at the resolute Zheng Qianqian, raised his eyebrows at the provocation of the man outside the car, and at the same time stepped on the accelerator, leaving the cursing man and the short-haired girl next to him far behind.
Huairou didn't understand the situation at all and looked at the luggage at her feet in a daze, what is the situation?
"My name is Zheng Qianqian, thank you just now." Zheng Qianqian opened her mouth first to break the silence, and she looked back at Huairou when she was talking to Shen Lang.
"You're welcome, Shen Lang." The answer is still not salty.
"Hey, you two...... Is it a couple? Couple? ”
Shen Lang glanced at Huairou from the rearview mirror and replied simply: "Neither." ”
"Then you're traveling with a group?" Zheng Qianqian looked at Shen Lang from time to time, but the problem was Huairou in the carriage.
"Hmm."
Huairou was very disgusted by this uninvited woman, and closed her eyes again after a vague response.
Seeing Huairou's indifferent expression, Zheng Qianqian pursed her lips, turned around and talked to Shen Lang with interest.
The sound of chirping echoed in the carriage, and Huairou thought that this was a lullaby, but in fact, Zheng Qianqian's soft falsetto voice made her feel sleepless.
Lunch was served with packed breakfast and instant noodles, and she felt so soft that she felt nothing to be faulty about, and after feeling hungry, she knew the value of food.
Although she dislikes the hygiene of the roadside when eating breakfast, in fact, Huairou does not feel that the food on the roadside tastes bad.
Zheng Qianqian asked to go to a restaurant to eat at first, but there were villages and fields along the way, so she had to make a reluctant compromise.
As night fell, the RV pulled into a small farm yard and one of the rooms was named a hotel.
"The Prodigal Son! It's coming! I've been waiting for you for a long time! What happened on the way? ”
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a short, fat middle-aged man coming out, and he was very familiar with Shen Lang.
"Brother Shan, everyone has arrived?" handed over a cigarette, Brother Shan waved his hand.
"I've been here for a long time, thinking you'd be there in the morning, but I didn't come until now. I'm tired of waiting, what's the matter with you? ”
Listening to Shen Lang and Brother Shan, two men and one woman came out of the house at this time, and they were very happy to see the three people in the RV.
"It's nothing, the car can't get on the highway, so it's delayed."
Seeing the people who came out, Brother Shan smiled: "These three college students are also patient, unlike other tourists, who have been waiting impatiently to change cars." ”
Hearing this, Huairou suddenly understood why Shen Lang bypassed the wide road and drove to this somewhat remote path, this journey was not because of her, it was purposeful.
Thinking that Shen Lang listened to him before leaving, the original distance of meeting Zheng Qianqian on the road had deviated from what she expected, and she endured it.
But now, there are three more people, who knows where these people are going, is this going to take her around the circle?
She is looking for memories and clues, but she is not here to travel, and she is even more taciturn when she is a little irritable.
"Hey, who are these two beauties?" The sharp-eyed Brother Shan saw Huairou and Zheng Qianqian at a glance, and looked at Shen Lang's ambiguous smile. "You kid can."
"Don't talk nonsense, this is Zheng Qianqian, who came to travel with a group on the road, this ......" Shen Lang's introduction was stuck here in Huairou, as if he was thinking about what to say.
"Hello, my name is Huairou, and I'm also here to travel." After speaking, she nodded at Brother Shan.
"Hello, hello, just call me Brother Shan." Brother Shan, who looked like a reliable big brother, patted his chest, and his round beer belly trembled three times.
After Huairou finished speaking, she was facing Shen Lang's gloomy face, frowning a little inexplicably, and no longer looked at him to go back to the RV to get his things.
