Chapter Ninety-Seven: Accidents
I ignored her, in fact, I have a mouthful of beef now, and even if I want to speak, I can't do anything, I can only give her a vicious look in return.
It's just that my eyes were deliberately ignored by Mu Xichun, and I lowered my head and continued to eat her food.
I chewed for a long time before swallowing a mouthful of beef into my stomach, my teeth and bones were a little sore, and I couldn't help but sigh that this beef was really chewy.
At this time, two more diners walked in outside the door, and they probably came here to travel in their clothes. After ordering the meal, the two casually asked the boss: "How far is the boss from Huashan?" ”
The boss replied: "Oh, it's not far, it's just more than 40 kilometers, and many tourists who come to Denghua Mountain have settled here!" During the day, there is a special tour bus to Huashan Scenic Area, which is very convenient! ”
Actually, I didn't listen to the conversation between the two and the boss, but they were too close to me to hear their conversation clearly.
I couldn't hear what the two of them were saying next to the boss, because my head was now occupied by a wave of anger.
Only then did I understand why Mu Xichun didn't tell me? What's all there to do here? And deceived my mobile phone, the purpose of which is nothing more than not to let me know that this is where Huashan is located.
My anger was instantly ignited by the conversation between the two, Mu Xichun said that he was taking me out for a trip, but he tricked me into coming to Huashan when he knew that I had a fear of heights, except for deliberately tricking me, I really couldn't think of any other explanation.
I snapped down my chopsticks and looked at Mu Xichun on the other side angrily. She had apparently heard the conversation between the two and her boss as well, so it was clear where my anger was coming from!
She glanced at me, probably because my fiery eyes made her worry that I would make some out-of-the-ordinary move here, and said timidly: "If you have anything to say, wait until we finish eating and go out, and I will give you a reasonable explanation!" ”
After speaking, I lowered my head and ate the snack in front of me, although I was angry, but it was inconvenient to have a seizure on this occasion, I thought to myself, just wait for you to finish eating, I see how you explain it to me?
Although I haven't eaten enough, the feeling of being played has made me completely lose the desire to eat at the moment, and although the snacks in front of me taste very chic, I am already interested.
Mu Xichun lowered her head to eat her food and didn't look up at me, probably knowing that I wouldn't give her any good looks at the moment.
She quickly finished the food in front of her, then picked up her bag and stood up to pay the bill at the cashier, and I followed closely behind, anxious to know what she would give me an explanation!
Walking out of the snack bar, she took out her car keys and walked in the direction of the car, but at this moment I couldn't take it anymore, caught up a few steps and grabbed her arm.
"Tell me, are you deliberately playing tricks on me?" I asked, holding her in the eye and staring at her.
"If you have anything to say, get in the car!" She shook my hand away and turned to go to the car door.
But I pulled it back again: "Answer my question!" ”
"You let go!" Mu Xichun frowned, probably because I scratched her arm and twisted her arm to break free from my restraints.
"If you don't give me an explanation, don't think about going one step further!"
"What explanation do you want?" She gave up the struggle and looked back at me with an ugly expression.
"Why are you kidding me?"
"What did I do to you?"
"You're still pretending to be with me? Knowing that I have a fear of heights, you still brought me to Huashan? Isn't this playing tricks on me? ”
"You figure it out, I just want you to accompany me on a trip, and help me drive by the way, as for Huashan, you can not go up, I didn't force you to go up!"
"Huh!" I laughed at her. "You also call taking me out to play? I kind of get it, I'm afraid you're just looking for a free driver! ”
"Whatever you want, you have to think so!" Mu Xichun's face turned cold, and he looked at me coldly.
"I think you're thinking too much about the free driver, since you didn't mean to take me out to play, I naturally have to charge!" Although I was angry in my heart, since I had come here and the drudgery had been done, there was no point in arguing with her again, and it was better to ask for money.
Mu Xichun sneered, looked at me contemptuously and said, "How much do you want?" ”
"A private driver with such good driving skills as I have driven such a long distance, and there are no two thousand people who want to send me away!" I took advantage of her grievances, and the lion opened his mouth.
Mu Xichun sneered contemptuously again: "Heh! Isn't it 2,000 dollars? I can afford to hire you as a driver! ”
"Since the boss is so generous, let's give money!" I reached over to her.
"When you get to the destination, I will naturally give you money, but now you are still on the way, and you haven't finished your work yet, why should I give you money?"
"That's good! Boss, please get in the car! I'll send you on your way! I made a gesture of please, a pun on my face, and I couldn't fault it.
Sure enough, Mu Xichun frowned slightly when she heard what I said, but she didn't say anything after all, opened the car door and sat in.
An hour later, I finally drove the car into the parking lot of the hotel that Mu Xichun had booked.
"Boss, the destination has arrived, can I give the money now?" After parking the car, I turned my face and pretended to ask!
Mu Xichun glanced at me and said, "I don't have that much cash on me!" I'll give it to you when I get back!" ”
"Hey, you're trying to play tricks?" I was upset.
"Who's cheating? Didn't I say that? There is not so much cash! Don't you have a ledger? Just remember it, and I'll give it to you when I get back! ”
I naturally know the account book that Mu Xichun said, it was the notebook I bought when I invited her to eat roasted sweet potatoes a few months ago, which was specially used to record the accounts she owed me, such as the money I paid her to eat roasted sweet potatoes, the employment fee I took her to see a doctor, and her sprained foot, the cost of my physiotherapy, and so on.
In the past few months, I have written down a lot of expenses in the small notebook, although Mu Xichun did not say that she did not admit it, but she never said when she settled the expenses on the account for me.
"Okay, I'll just remember it for you, you can't cheat!" So I took out the small notebook and made a detailed note on it, the time, place and the source of the arrears were clearly written, and asked Mu Xichun to sign it very seriously.
Mu Xichun signed and walked straight to the hotel, the luggage on the car was naturally carried by me, who let me take other people's money!
After Mu Xichun checked in at the front desk, he gave me a key, and we went back to our rooms.
My room with her is next to two suites, when I took out the key and was about to open the door, Mu Xichun stopped me: "I'm going to climb the mountain tomorrow, there are many scenic spots in Huashan, you don't have to climb to the top, you can go to other attractions to play!" ”
"Don't go!" I spit out two words very unhappily, and I didn't care about Mu Xichun's reaction, opened the door and entered the room.
The room is very large, very clean and comfortable, Mu Xichun is still very generous in this regard, and booked me a set of rooms exactly the same as her, although I don't know the price of the room, but this kind of star hotel of a well-known tourist attraction in the country will naturally not be cheap.
After driving for a day, I was indeed a little tired, and after taking a hot shower, I lay on the comfortable bed in my room, thinking about this terrible journey, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed, although Mu Xichun promised to give me two thousand yuan in employment fees, but whether she would really give it to me only God knows.
When I woke up, it was already the middle of the next day. I walked to the window, opened the curtains, only to see that today's weather is not very good, not only there is no sun, but also foggy, the visibility will not be much better, thinking that Mu Xichun will probably not see any good scenery when he goes to Denghua Mountain today.
Looking at the time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning. I wondered if Mu Xichun next door had set off at this moment, so I went out and knocked on the door of her room, and after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the door, thinking that she had probably set off when I was still sleeping.
I went back to my room, washed up and went out to find something to eat. To be honest, I was very fond of last night's snacks, so I wanted to try what I had for breakfast and if there was anything that surprised me.
Although breakfast is served in the hotel, I remembered what Mu Xichun said yesterday: The food in the hotel has a taste all over the country, what is delicious. So I walked out of the hotel and wandered down the street, looking for food.
When I finally chose a breakfast shop that looked good, the phone rang suddenly, and I took out my mobile phone to see that it was Mu Xichun calling.
I think she probably saw some amazing scenery again, called to encourage me to visit, but I really don't have that interest, want to come to Huashan this place to travel if not to climb Huashan, then there is really no need to come, since I don't have the courage to climb Huashan, I am naturally too lazy to take a look at other attractions, so I hung up the phone when I thought of this.
But as soon as I hung up the phone, the bell rang again.
I stared at my phone's screen for a while, and finally pressed the answer button.
I was about to speak, but before I could speak, a strange man's voice came from the earpiece.
"Are you Mr. Wei?" The voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little urgent, and I couldn't help but wonder why Mu Xichun's mobile phone was in someone else's hand, and this person's tone seemed quite urgent, I don't know what happened.
"My surname is Wei, may I ask who you are?" I asked, confused.
"I am a staff member of the South Peak Plank Road in Huashan Scenic Area, please Mr. Wei must be calm, your friend Miss Mu has a little trouble on the Huashan Plank Road, somehow, her safety rope suddenly fell off, she is now trapped on the plank road without any safety guarantee, and she is frightened, not allowing our staff to go to the rescue, her mood is very bad now, she said that no one is allowed to approach her except you, so we called you, I hope you can come here soon, Cooperate with our rescue work, I'm afraid that if we delay too long, your friend will not be able to hold on! ”
Probably because the situation was urgent, the man on the other side of the earpiece said concisely without a trace of elaboration, and I chuckled in my heart, and I could no longer hear any sounds around me in an instant.
"My friend, how is she now?" I almost blurted out, and my heart almost exploded.
"Your friend is now in the middle of the plank road, due to the safety rope falling off for unknown reasons, she now only relies on two hands to grab the iron rope to ensure her safety, but she is now too emotional, not allowing us to approach, we are afraid that she will not be able to hold on after a long time, so there will be danger at any time, so we implore you to come over immediately and rescue your friend with us!"
