Chapter 1004: The Father Who Didn't Exist
At noon, Lu Yao and the three of them ate a buffet in the hotel's restaurant, where there are many types of food and the taste is not bad.
Seeing Song Shiyi's plate full of food, Lu Yao couldn't help but be curious: "Downstairs is the restaurant, why did you eat instant noodles just now?" β
"Appetizing."
Song Shiyi cuts a piece of grilled lamb chops: "If you eat instant noodles every day, you will feel that the taste is very greasy and heavy, but it is very appetizing when you eat it once in a while." You can try it, the secret is to eat cup noodles and eat small portions. β
Lu Yao said: "Your memory of eating seems to be well preserved. β
"Muscle memory and conditioning."
Song Shiyi made an OK gesture: "The memory in the mind will be forgotten, but the body will give feedback when you smell the taste of your favorite food." At least when it comes to eating, everyone's body will be more honest. β
Lu Yao nodded: "Indeed." β
Song Shiyi next to her was immersed in a large plate of beef fried rice, which was also garnished with some shrimp, chicken and crab legs, and she still liked rice so much.
At this time, Lu Yao thought of a question.
If more and more people obtain the authority of the godhead, I am afraid that the earth's agriculture will have to be upgraded to another level to be satisfied. It's okay to try the food of the Void once in a while, but after eating it for a long time, I always feel that something will change.
Lu Yao ate a roll of fried noodles and asked Song Shiyi: "Can I eat the food of the void for a long time?" β
"Yes, I've tested it myself."
Song Shiyi blinked: "The food over there can be completely carried by the strong physique of a godhead." Whether we bring food from there or we go to eat, after eating too much, we will come back with diarrhea and weakness...... The root cause is that two different realms have different natural laws. β
Lu Yao couldn't help but think of the canned red dragon he had tasted.
Feeling unpalatable is probably also a kind of physiological rejection and self-protection.
Song Shiyi said: "Do I want to inform Nong Lan about the situation here?" β
"Have you checked her?"
"Hmm. No problem. β
Lu Yao said okay.
Song Shiyi made a phone call and said, "Nonglan has expressed her gratitude to us, and she hopes to be our guide during this period...... Do you think it will work? β
"Yes."
Lu Yao got the Tai Sui stump, at least what Nong Lan said was true.
It's always convenient to have a local deity. Although Anan has no problems, it is somewhat official in nature, and it is really difficult to say that he is relaxed next to him.
About twenty minutes later, Nonglan arrived outside the hotel.
She wore a close-fitting light pink short-sleeved shirt with a bun underneath a denim skirt underneath it, a canvas bag across the body, and of course a thin strap around her neck. Unlike last night, Nonglan was still wearing a pink mask.
"Did you catch a cold?" Song Shiyi asked.
"It's not."
Nonglan whispered a little embarrassed: "I originally wanted to put on a better makeup, but the effect was not very good, and I haven't put on makeup for a long time...... Just use a mask to block it. β
Lu Yao took a closer look, only to find that Nonglan had changed his head.
She used to have a gentle female face, but now she has become a woman with single eyelids, her face has become much longer, and her cheekbones are prominent, which is completely different from the previous bone appearance.
Makeup refers to this meaning.
Song Shiyi didn't have any particular places she wanted to go. She said that when she was an artist, she often came over to breathe, but there was nothing new about this side.
In the end, he acted according to Lu Yao's plan.
They first went to the nearby Bangkok Doll Museum.
This museum is in a residential area, which is very difficult to find, and is more like a personal collection room open to the public. Because the space is not large, you need to make a reservation to enter, and you can enter and exit freely only on Saturdays.
Nonglan communicated with the owner of the house, and actually persuaded the other party to allow Lu Yao and the others to enter the visit temporarily, and also gave each of them a bottle of herbal tea.
"It's usually with kids, and a lot of kids want to buy dolls here."
"It was established in 1956 and has a history of almost 60 years, with a total of about 400 dolls. Dolls are exhibited here, and various dolls are also produced. The materials are mainly produced in Thailand, including characters from traditional Thai dramas, and ethnic groups from various tribes in Thailand..."
Lu Yao looked at the small museum.
Inside, there are many glass windows, on which all kinds of dolls are very tightly arranged, showing the posture of dancing, fighting, or beating drums.
Thai dolls are often brightly dressed with gold or silver ornaments, or wear strange masks. In addition, there are Santa Claus, Japanese girls, small stone statues, African dolls, Lego dolls, Mario and red dragons, as well as a variety of cities, villages and gardens made of toys.
In this small room, the lights are dim like oil, and the dolls sealed in glass boxes show strange smiles, all facing the direction of tourists, and the scene has an inexplicable eerie feeling.
The doll in the Thai sense is different from what Lu Yao thought.
As we all know, the beginning of a horror movie is to know that something is wrong, but you still have to go to the past.
Lu Yao decided to replace the next one.
The second place to go is the Jim Thompson House.
This place is a small villa, the original owner Jim, an American, came to Thailand as a spy during World War II, and later settled in Bangkok for a long time, promoting the Thai silk industry, making Jim Thompson's silk scarf become the Hermes of the silk world in the eyes of Thais. The subsequent disappearance of Jim Thompson in Malaysia also made his story even more legendary.
Jimmy is also an architect himself, and he traveled all over Thailand to select 6 distinctive houses, which were dismantled and shipped back to be redesigned. It also contains a large number of artifacts from his collection around the world, which make up the current Jim Thompson House, which is also a unique museum.
The red Thai-style building is set amidst an abundance of tropical greenery, with deep walking paths that resemble a miniature rainforest. Many tourists stroll here, drink afternoon tea, take pictures, and enjoy the photo wall and all kinds of silk here.
Song Shiyi and Nong Lan chatted very energetically.
Lu Yao was tired after ten minutes of shopping.
This place is not for you, so you might as well go back and play mobile games.
With Isabel's intimate booster, the experience is not too good to play.
Lu Yao walked to the door, and he saw some vendors setting up stalls across the street. One of the old men was pushing a trolley, seemingly roasting some kind of snack. The old man wore a large apron, there were few strands of hair left, and his skin was dark and thin.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
Manu?
Although the dress is a little different, it is too similar.
Lu Yao went straight across the street and found the old man.
The other party looked over and gestured to his stall: "eat?"
Lu Yao nodded.
Then the old man began to make food.
He uses a black iron griddle to make a charcoal-grilled pudding, which is basically a batter with coconut cream, then roasted and served with crispy shallots. This snack was unexpectedly delicious, making Lu Yao gesture.
βTenοΌβ
I'm going to eat ten.
The old man happily wrapped him in lotus leaves.
Then a new problem came, Lu Yao did not know Thai, and the old man did not look like he could speak Chinese.
He also found that he had no money in his pocket. Because she is with Song Shiyi, this aspect is completely handed over to her, and she only has to travel with her bags. Many Thai stalls can swipe WeChat and Alipay, but not here.
So after Lu Yao finished eating, he made the same gesture, ten more!
Then he hurried to call for help.
Song Shiyi and Nong Lan quickly rushed here.
With Nonglan, a local interpreter, communication became smoother. Especially after Nonglan gave a tip, the old man became noticeably talkative.
The old man's name is Chan Lak, and he lives by selling coconut pudding and doing chores.
Lu Yao asked him, "Do you have a brother?" β
"He said yes, but his brother died of illness when he was a child, and he has a younger sister who is now married to Chiang Mai...... He asks you, why do you ask this? β
Lu Yao looked at the old man: "Because I know a person who looks very similar to him." β
Nong Lan communicated with Champat Lakhni. This time the two had a long conversation, explaining and thinking about something to each other repeatedly, and finally the old man nodded.
He said they were probably looking for his father.
Because many people had approached him before and asked him about his father. He only remembered his mother, but he didn't remember anything about his father at all, and he didn't remember it at all, as if it didn't exist. After his mother's death, the three brothers and sisters of Champat lived with relatives, and when they were children, they often came to his door to ask about his father's condition. β
"After many years, no one asks about it anymore."
The old man took out a cracked mobile phone from his pocket and flipped through a black-and-white photo.
Lu Yao saw that it was a photo of a woman and three children, but there was a large empty space on her left, as if there should have been another person there.
In the old photograph, the woman is smiling, her hair and silhouette exactly the same as that that old Manu repeatedly traced on paper.
The Forsaken Who Can't Be Remembered.
Manu is supposed to be Champat's father.
Lu Yao asked, "Those people are looking for your father's whereabouts?" β
"They were looking for something, and they said it was from my father. It was the fangs of some kind of animal, covered with blood streaks, which were used to make amulets. β
"But I don't know anything, I've never seen anything like it."
Blood-streaked fangs?
Lu Yao realized that this matter might not be simple.
Usually he pulls away.
However, Manu helped him get Suihou Zhu, and this time he also helped him.
