Chapter 106: Night Walking
PS: I really hope to be like other online writers, a few chapters a day, hey, but Piggy just can't.
There's an outline, there's an idea, and it's at least seven or eight hours to complete two chapters, really, hey
"Sir, let me see your backpack, satellite locator, no problem, many travelers like to buy this little machine that accompanies him on the Amazon day and night as a souvenir.
Oh, a beautiful statue, it looks like this sculpture could be a precious antiquity of our Tattutu, so sorry, you can't take it with you.
And these two beautiful beetles in glass jars, I have never seen such strange color-changing bugs, and I suspect that they are endangered and rare species, so they should not be taken away either. ”
"It is true that I caught the beetle from the jungle of Tattutus, but this toad was brought to Tattutu from the United States..."
"Sir, if you can't prove it, I find it hard to believe that you came to Tattutu from the country of rice with a statue of a toad. The stocky native security officer shook his head like a rattle and spoke in fluent English.
"I have proof of it. Zhang Li was angry and was about to argue, when he suddenly took back his backpack from the security officer, took out ten meters of change from his pocket, put it in the backpack, and handed it to the security officer, "I think this evidence should be enough." ”
The security officer looked at the backpack, his eyes lit up and said, "It seems that this toad was indeed brought to Tattutu by you from the United States, but these two beetles..."
"OK," Zhang Lisheng took back his backpack, took out another twenty meters and threw it into his bag, "What now?"
The security officer took the backpack, reached out and grabbed the rice yuan and stuffed it into his pocket, grinned and said, "Sorry sir." I read it wrong, these are just two ordinary bugs, which can be found everywhere in the Amazon.
You can take them back to the United States, but I would like to warn you. I've been to the United States, and I know that those American colleagues are not as reasonable as me, so you'd better put these two bugs in your pocket and carry them with you. ”
Hearing the reminder of the security officer, Zhang Lisheng paused for a moment, looked at the smiling face of the fat native in front of him who sincerely helped, and felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, so he really didn't know how to answer, so he could only pick up his backpack and leave the security gate quickly.
The airport in Rukututu does not have a boarding gate. After passing through the security check, you can go directly to the tarmac, and at eight o'clock in the clear sun, the temperature outside is already very high.
Stand in the sun and see a steaming dilapidated airport bus in the distance. Then look at the neatly lined up taxis next to you. Thinking of the confusion during customs clearance, Zhang Lisheng finally understood why Lukututu Airport had to cut the ticket so early.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can send you directly under the plane for five meters. It was very convenient to get out of the car and go directly to the stairs to get into the plane. As soon as he saw a crowd of guests pouring out of the airport terminal, the indigenous taxi driver stuck his head out of the window and shouted enthusiastically.
"American Airlines UT-0098 passenger plane flying to New York. ”
The car started and carried Zhang Lisheng around the airport runway, turned in a big circle, and sped to a Boeing 747 passenger plane.
Pay the bill and get out of the car. Zhang Lisheng glanced at the dense rainforest of Tattutu from a distance, and stepped onto the plane.
When he stepped off the plane more than a dozen hours later, he had already arrived at New York's JFK International Airport.
It's a very cold month in New York in January, even if I'm prepared to put on a few shirts. But the cold north wind still made Zhang Lisheng shiver a few times as soon as he got off the plane.
Only then did he think that the entire suitcase and clothes that his mother had packed for him had long since disappeared, and he smiled wryly and rubbed his nose. Rushed into the airport bus and drove towards the airport exit with hundreds of passengers.
Returning to the United States from a tropical country for customs clearance, because it is very easy to carry contraband, even if you have citizenship, it is very strict.
However, Zhang Lisheng followed the instructions of the Tattutu indigenous security officer, stuffed two half-dead chameleon beetles into his trouser pockets, only lit up the contents of the backpack, and passed the customs very easily in the image of a young donkey.
Walking out of the JFK Airport gate, there were few pick-up people standing under the bright lights of the layman's passage, Zhang Lisheng looked at it and saw Lili holding up the "Lisheng baby, mom is here" search sign, anxiously looking at the figure.
Zhang Lisheng, who originally wanted to use the stall he had just returned from Amazon to do something 'trivial', felt warm in his heart, and walked quickly to his mother, "Mom, why are you here, I told you, I'll take a taxi back..."
"Baby finally saw you, you left me for a whole month, and when you came home today, how could your mother not come to the airport to pick you up.
Are you okay, you look a lot thinner, God, baby, why is your face so haggard, there are still two days before school starts, you need to take a good rest and recuperate.
And why did you wear so little, didn't your mother bring you thick clothes..."After seeing Zhang Lisheng, Lili eagerly greeted her, hugged her son, and said with red circles in her eyes.
Zhang Lisheng naturally couldn't say that his face was haggard because when he was on the plane, he had to use magic spells to guide the crocodile dragon to paddle in the Atlantic Ocean all the time, "Salute, I was busy catching the plane and left, and I forgot about the hotel in Tattutu."
Mom, let's get out of here, I'm tired and want to get home quickly. ”
"What a baby. ”
Lily happily and contentedly took her son's arm and walked out of the airport along the shape of the passage, and the two got into the car against the swishing cold wind, and returned to their home in Brooks along the brightly lit streets of New York.
Everything is the same at home, the children have already gone to bed, and the male owner Su Luo is still working overtime.
Walking into the house, Zhang Lisheng immediately smelled a smell of incense, it turned out that Lili had cooked a thick beef soup in the electric stove before going to the airport, pinching the time, and now it was just cooked.
"Baby, can you eat some thick porridge to warm up and then go to sleep?
By the way, in the past few days of your absence, Stephen has come back from UCLA.
He became the school's regular rugby player, brought back a beautiful girlfriend, and alas, the kid almost went crazy when he saw Michelle injured.
He also bought gifts for everyone in the family, your share is on the sofa in the living room, but unfortunately college athletes have to train during the holidays, and he can't wait for you to come back to Los Angeles, and you can only see each other in the summer. Lili said endlessly while serving porridge.
"Stephen, that's Uncle Laven's eldest son.
Gift, is it a microscope on the sofa, I just fit it," listening to his mother's words, Zhang Lisheng, who happened to walk past the sofa, said casually: "When I see Stephen, I will give him a good set of rugby protectors." ”
"Oh, baby, he's the older brother, so you don't have to return his gifts. ”
"That can save a few hundred meters," Zhang Lisheng walked around the living room, came to the open kitchen, took a bowl of porridge handed by his mother, and said casually, "Mom, it feels good to go home." ”
"Oh, baby...", Lily hugged her son with some emotion.
In a warm and touching atmosphere, Lili watched Zhang Lisheng eat a big bowl of beef porridge, and personally sent him back to his room, "Good night baby, rest well, I'll make you delicious beef pies tomorrow morning." ”
"Good night mom. Zhang Lisheng said good night and closed the door.
The room had been unoccupied for almost a month but it was very clean, and it was clear that Lily still cleaned it often when her son was away.
After looking at the door, Zhang Lisheng looked at the time, 3:20 in the morning.
He thought about it, quickly turned out a thick black sweatshirt in the closet, took out the global satellite positioning device from his backpack, and entered the search for 'Queens Cargo Terminal, New York' on the screen.
After the search, Zhang Lisheng's location and the location of the Queens freight terminal were clearly displayed, and the 'satellite locator' automatically planned the best distance between the two places was 78 kilometers, and the straight-line distance was only 51 kilometers.
His eyes swept over the word 'fifty-one kilometers', Zhang Lisheng smiled unconsciously with satisfaction, climbed into bed, and opened the window at the head of the bed.
The cold wind whistled into the house, blowing the short hair of the young man, Zhang Lisheng's mouth gently chanted the witch spell, jumped on the windowsill and jumped out, and stood in the air on the curved neck of the island dragon hiding his figure.
Turning around and closing the window, he pulled up the hat on his sweatshirt, followed the neck of the island dragon, and tentatively walked to the back of the witch worm step by step, just sat down, wanting to drive the island dragon to gallop, when suddenly heard the sound of a birdsong in the backpack 'chirping...".
Afraid that the ringtone would alarm his mother, Zhang Lisheng hurriedly took out his mobile phone and connected it.
"Li Sheng, are you back in New York?" Tina's voice came from the phone.
"Just came back and was about to rest. ”
"Don't rest, don't rest, Tricy and I have a lot of good friends celebrating Cheria's recovery in the neurology ward at NYU Medical Center.
She's come to her senses, do you know how to do it, dear Li Sheng, Seliya recovered..."
"How much wine have you drunk, it's two o'clock in the morning. ”
"I was grounded by my father for twenty days, and I managed to regain my freedom while he was in Cuba..."
"It's not a good habit to drink in the hospital, be careful that Helia's brain is burned by alcohol again, I'm going to sleep, good night." Zhang Lisheng said and turned off the dead mobile phone directly.
After that, he slipped his phone into his pocket, stared at the screen of the satellite locator, drove the island dragon, jumped up, and galloped away in the direction of the Queens cargo terminal.
Stretching its slender, lithe body, the witch worm weaves and glides through the dimly lit alleys of New York's streets.
Sitting high on the island dragon, dressed in black like an inconspicuous ghost, across the night sky of New York, Zhang Lisheng watched many evils from the sidelines, and finally came to the mighty coast of Queens after passing through a dirty neighborhood.
The shores here are full of hard reefs, few sandy beaches, and the air smells of fish.
Zhang Lisheng looked around and saw a huge harbor standing at the end of the reef. (To be continued.) )
