Chapter 17: The Second Day of Coming to Lao Cai

Wei Xiaoyu thought back to what happened yesterday morning, and said puzzledly: "But didn't I wake up by myself?"

The little gentleman shook his head, rolled his eyes, sighed helplessly and did not answer her. Then she asked some other questions, and the little gentleman was so annoyed that he could not stand it, so he began to curse. At this time, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, and seeing that it was difficult to continue chatting, Wei Xiaoyu was ready to go out and find a place to have dinner.

Because the weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, after the sun goes down, Lao Cai, in addition to foreign tourists, there are also local residents who enjoy the cool weather, and many people live near Lao Cai. The difference between them is obvious: tourists are often well-dressed, carrying bags and things in their hands, and occasionally holding mobile phones and cameras to take pictures, while nearby residents often wear cotton undershirts and shorts, holding only a puff fan in their hands, and pacing leisurely.

Twenty meters east of the main road after the B&B alley exit, there is a small shop with a different antique atmosphere around, the decoration is very simple, the black paint roof, the white inner wall, the wall is shelved with logs, and there are a few pots of green leafy plants. The owners are a small couple who look like they've just opened their doors and sell only one type of food – mushroom and stone chicken with rice.

The store is not big, but the business is not bad, and the six small square tables are full after the meal. When Wei Xiaoyu walked in, a couple was about to leave after eating, so two seats were vacated. While the hostess came to clean up the table, she ordered a small set meal and waited for the food to be served while watching the news on her mobile phone.

But she didn't look carefully before ordering, and the store was dumbfounded when it was served, the so-called mushroom stone chicken has nothing to do with chickens, but a kind of frog that originally grew on the side of mountain streams and rocks (wild stone frogs belong to the national second-class protected animals, and may also have germs and cannot be caught and eaten. The second and third generations of artificially bred stone frogs can be bought and sold as food). Fortunately, she is not a picky eater, and this local famous dish is delicate and refreshing, and it is unexpectedly delicious.

While she was eating, the little gentleman flew up to the two sisters who were watching videos on a tablet next to her, and they also leaned over to look at each other, occasionally twisting their necks and cooing a few times. The two girls felt the novelty and did not drive it away, but Wei Xiaoyu felt a little embarrassed. Every time she brought Mr. Xiao into the store, she first asked the clerk if she could bring pigeons, but there were always customers around who were sensitive to animals. She lowered her voice and said in a somewhat anxious tone, "Come back quickly, don't disturb others!"

The little gentleman pretended not to see it, and deliberately moved his body to face her with his buttocks, at which time its burns were not completely healed, and he could only stand curled up with his left paw. Wei Xiaoyu was used to it occasionally pretending to be arrogant, so he lowered his head to eat and ignored it.

When she was almost finished eating, and used a spoon to put the rice mixed with the soup into her mouth, the little gentleman suddenly flew over her head, and she was so surprised that her face almost got stuck on the plate, and the two girls at the table next to her covered their mouths and snickered when they saw this.

Wei Xiaoyu stared at the little gentleman standing in front of him, and asked a little angrily, "What are you doing?"

The little gentleman looked like nothing had happened, tilted his head and said, "Tomorrow I need your help to buy something for my brothers." ”

Wei Xiaoyu was puzzled: "What, why did you buy something for them?"

The little gentleman said: "The brothers have helped so much and found the nest of the tall fat man, I have to express it!"

Wei Xiaoyu thought in his heart that he still understood the world, and was about to agree, but he saw Mr. Xiao pacing two steps, and muttered to himself proudly: "Ming'er Pigeon Master I want to have a party, and I have all the food and drink......"

Wei Xiaoyu couldn't tell for a while whether he knew how to return the favor or simply wanted to find an excuse to party, but she had to do it. How did she know that the little gentleman suddenly remembered this stubble when she saw the party scene in the tablet.

After returning to the B&B after eating, Wei Xiaoyu went to the shower room to wash, and Mr. Xiao still lay near the pillow blowing the air conditioner to watch TV. After returning from washing, Wei Xiaoyu asked it, "Should you also take a bath or something?"

The little gentleman replied lazily, "I have washed it in the Linglin with jasper lake water and cool grass. ”

Wei Xiaoyu said: "You have been flying back and forth for the past two days, why don't you really go to wash? ”

The little gentleman said, "Before leaving, I will wash it." ”

At half past eleven, Wei Xiaoyu turned off the lights and prepared to rest. The little gentleman was still staring at the TV and watching the kung fu movie seriously, and she had to make a small space for it, sleeping only half of the bed herself, and moving the quilt out of the corner to avoid blocking its view.

The next morning, Wei Xiaoyu was woken up by Mr. Xiao pulling his eyelids with his claws. After waking up, I drove a pickup truck to a large supermarket nearby to buy "party" food, including grains, peanuts, and some fresh fruits and vegetables. Back in the car, Mr. Little packed them all into his little bag the size of a corn kernel.

Recalling the last experience in Zhangling Town, Wei Xiaoyu put all the things he bought under the seat before letting it stuff it into his bag, and kept looking around to see if anyone was passing by. After Mr. Xiao finished loading things, he flew away without even saying hello, Wei Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel a little worried in the empty underground parking lot alone, locked the car and took the elevator to the first floor, and walked around the nearby shopping mall.

The bustling atmosphere of the streets reassured her, and as she walked, she thought about the previous two days, and still occasionally suspected that it was just a dream that was too real. At noon, she ordered a set meal at a chain hamburger restaurant and didn't eat enough, so she bought another cone and sat on the seat by the window and licked it one bite at a time. She always felt that although the price of the burgers at this place had not changed, it seemed to be much smaller than when she was a child, or that she had grown up too much unconsciously.

After returning to the B&B in Lao Cai after lunch, she first slept for a while. The first thing she did when she woke up was to call Gao Peng, since she gave him 2,000 yuan the night before, she also felt unsteady when she held the receipt. However, the phone was called twice before it was connected, but the attitude of the other party after taking the money was not bad, telling her that there would be results within tomorrow.

Then she put on her backpack and carried a round cage, ready to find a place to send job search emails, look at video websites or something, and pass the time this afternoon. As soon as I went downstairs, I saw the little boss and a person in blue overalls busy in front of the air conditioner, and at this time the heat wave in the living room hit people, and I had to sweat just by standing for a while. The little boss saw her and explained apologetically: "The air conditioner is broken, and the master is repairing it." ”

Wei Xiaoyu exchanged a few words with him, and when he went out, he was about to go to a book café on the east side of the main road according to his memory, when he saw Mr. Xiao flying from the sky. Five or six hours have passed since it went out to play in the morning, and Wei Xiaoyu asked it on the mailbox next to the door, "How was it, did the party go on?"

The little gentleman said, "When am I not happy?"

Wei Xiaoyu said: "I'll find a place to surf the Internet, will you go, and use your mobile phone to show you a movie?"

Although the little gentleman didn't speak, he flew towards her, and Wei Xiaoyu stretched out his left arm to catch it. has only been together for two days, and although there have been many small conflicts between them, they have also formed some such tacit understandings. At this time, Wei Xiaoyu held Mr. Xiao in his left hand and a round cage in his right hand, so he couldn't go to the parasol anymore, and walked six or seven hundred meters under the scorching sun of more than three o'clock, and came to this two-story book café called "Love Sakura Bookstore".
