Chapter Eighty-Five: The Wise Man Among the Natives

"Happy to serve you.

My 'customer', let's go. When the indigenous boy heard Zhang Lisheng agree, he hurried out of the shop, ran barefoot in the mud to another thatched hut not far away, and pushed out a tattered three-wheeled motorcycle almost as tall as him.

Pedaling the motorcycle's engine with all his might, the native boy shouted, "Come on, sir, let's go." ”

"Hopefully you have a driver's license for a motorcycle. Zhang Lisheng muttered in the dark and got on the side of the motorcycle.

The bike started precariously and gradually increased its speed, rushing into the distance on the potholed streets.

Ten minutes later, the motorcycle was parked far away next to a brightly lit hotel.

The young man looked at the hotel, his eyes flashing with indescribable emotion, "Sir, that is the Green Forest Hotel."

Touri said, we can't go to this kind of place, you can only walk over by yourself, exchange money and come out and give it to me.

I will always be waiting for you. ”

Only then did Zhang Lisheng realize that for the ordinary people of Tattutu's own country, civilization and barbarism could not be shuttled at will, but were clearly distinguished.

"Rest assured, I will be back as soon as possible. He said as he climbed off the motorcycle and strode towards the hotel in the distance.

The distance of 300 meters made Zhang Lisheng return to civilized society, and the waiter in front of the Green Forest Hotel turned a blind eye to his dirty appearance, and only served politely.

This is the Amazon, and a lot of traveling guests come back from a mess.

There is an ATM in the hotel, Zhang Lisheng withdrew the money after booking the room, and was about to send it to the indigenous teenager, when suddenly the mobile phone in the backpack sounded 'Chirp Chirp...".

He looked at the screen, connected his phone, and said directly, whether it was credible or not: "I'm sorry Tina, I'm no longer in Tuyi Kano."

In the afternoon, I went out for a stroll and accidentally boarded a bus, and I ended up sitting all the way to Lunnook City, but don't worry, I'll be able to get back to the BRICS Hotel tomorrow."

Tina, who wanted to call Zhang Lisheng for dinner, was stunned for a while and asked, "Lunuk, where is that?"

"I don't know, but it's about a hundred kilometers away from Tuyikano.

Okay, my phone is running out of battery, let's talk about it in detail when we meet tomorrow. Saying that, Zhang Lisheng hurriedly hung up the phone.

In the Western-style restaurant block of the restaurant of the Golden Brick Hotel, Tina sat at the long round table and put down her mobile phone blankly, "Li Sheng said that he wandered around in the afternoon and unintentionally left Tuyi Kano by bus, and arrived at a city called Lunnook, and he could not come back until tomorrow." ”

"Don't worry about Miss Tina, Lunuk, it's a bustling city one hundred and twenty kilometers west of Tuyi Kano, and of course this bustling city is only relative to Tattutu.

Most of the inhabitants there are from the gathering tribe of Yekadidu and Moxilinlin, and the people are simple and the law and order is very good.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, there is a bus that goes directly to Tuyi Kano..."Seeing Tina's uneasy look, an old man with white hair and a neat gray one-day suit opposite him blurted out thoughtful comfort.

He looks like an indigenous, but his temperament is completely different from that of the jungle natives, and the words wise and erudite seem to be imprinted on the tall and thin cheekbones, and his gestures show the calm style of an old gentleman with a Western-style higher education.

"Every Tuesday and Thursday there is a direct bus to Tuyi Kano, which means that there is no more today, Dr. Tubarin," Xitu on the side suddenly said indignantly and loudly, "That Zhang Lisheng is lying, and I don't know what kind of place he went to fool around..."

"Shut up and hope for it. Seeing Tina's always uneasy expression, Shelia grabbed her boyfriend and whispered.

"Oh, maybe I'm mistaken, or maybe Lunuk City has a bus that runs through Tuyi Kano on Monday.

Bi Jing: I stayed in the jungle for half a year this time, and a lot of things have changed. Tubalin, who knew that he had lost his words, said apologetically.

"Defend a scoundrel boy you've never seen before, Dr. Tubarin, you're a gentleman.

I can't imagine that you're competing to be Tatttu into... I mean, your temperament and demeanor let in, let you feel..."

"Young in, it seems that you are prejudiced against us Tattutu.

But it doesn't matter, just like 300 years ago, the country of rice was just a place where British exiled criminals and poor people ventured to make a living, I believe that my motherland is now poor and ignorant.

But there will come a time when it will be on par with the other nations of this planet, and it will never be able to be despised again, and I believe that this will not be in the not-too-distant future.

Forty-five years ago, it was for this purpose that I went to Cambridge to study. Tubalin looked at Xitu with a smile and said without humility or arrogance.

Compared with the 'patriots' who can only blindly quibble and even abuse in the face of criticism, the entry of true reason and self-respect and self-respect can undoubtedly arouse more resonance with others.

Hearing this, the slightly rough Xitu stood up very formally and bowed, "I am very ashamed, Dr. Tubarin, I am obviously more like an uneducated barbarian than you, please forgive me. ”

The young New Yorker, from a prominent background, had received a formal education in etiquette, and once his speech had passed through his brain, he appeared to be very disciplined.

"Oh, I'll be forgiven for making mistakes at a young age, let alone me. ”

Xitu's small unintentional mistake was perfectly compensated, and then the waiter began to serve the food, and the atmosphere of the dinner became more and more harmonious.

In the middle of the meal, only Tina kept looking absent-minded, and after eating the front plate and main course, she hurriedly apologized and left the table, strode out of the restaurant, and dialed Zhang Lisheng's phone again.

"Zhang Lisheng, the bus from Tuyi Kano to Lunnuuk City is only available on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week, how do you explain it?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, "Well, I didn't take the bus, but with the help of some special tool, I accidentally got lost while walking in the jungle and got to Zenouk by mistake. ”

"Special tools," Tina cried out in a daze, "what special tools can take you hundreds of kilometers through the Amazon rainforest in just a few hours!"

"Be quiet, Tina, don't be noisy, the whole world knows it.

Do you remember, I have some little secrets of my own.

Don't ask, when it's time for you to see it, you'll see it. ”

"Li Sheng, it's hard to believe you when you speak so vaguely.

Maybe you didn't leave Tuyi Kano at all, but went somewhere in the city to fool around.

Sixteen, or seventeen by now, oh, reallyβ€”" Tina said deliberately aggressively.

"It doesn't hurt you to think so.

I'm having dinner, so I won't talk to you more. Zhang Lisheng was not provoked by her at all, and casually untied the 'jelly stone' bought for 100 meters wrapped around his fingers, and hung up the phone.

The jelly stone is unraveled and slowly turns into an oval shape.

Zhang Lisheng sat on the bed in the room of the Green Forest Hotel, while eating a hamburger, while carefully studying this strange piece of rubber, and finally found nothing, so he casually slapped it into a pancake, stuck it on his wrist, turned off the light, took out the mountain toad from his backpack, and began the tantric practice.

After a night of practice, Zhang Lisheng climbed out of bed early in the morning to wash up, and then went to the service desk of the Green Forest Hotel to ask the location of the long-distance bus stop in Lunnook City.

There are many examples of foreign tourists who come to Tattutu who have tried the daily life of the indigenous people, but obviously not many have managed to adapt, and the front desk lady in a straw skirt politely reminded: "Sir, if you are short of time, of course you can try to take the Lunuk bus."

But I would like to warn you that no matter where you are going, it will be an extremely difficult journey, and it may take far longer than you expect,"

"Then if I want to go to Tuyi Kano, is there any other way than a long-distance bus?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and said in a fluent manner.

"Of course, for example, taking a canoe down the river to Tuyi Kano, which of course will take longer.

The fastest way is by plane, and the most comfortable way is for our hotel to send you a limousine directly to Tui Kano. ”

"Airplanes, there is an airport here too?"

"Of course,"

"That's great, I love flying over Lan Yao and taking me to the airport. ”

"Please wait, I'll call you a ride. ”

"Xie Lu Xie, I'll wait outside. Zhang Lisheng said as he picked up a thick rucksack and walked out of the hotel.

The outdoor air is refreshing and pleasant, because it is a tropical rainforest climate, and the sun is already bright, and a little raindrop is clearly visible on the ground.

Sun rain is common in Tattutu, but Zhang Lisheng saw it for the first time, he was surprised that the walkway covered the edge of the balcony, and he reached out to catch the rain, and in an instant his arm with colorful patterns stuck to his wrist was completely wet.

At this time, a fluent English question suddenly sounded behind him: "Sir, is it the limousine service you want to go to the airport?"

"Yes, let's go. Zhang Lisheng turned around and smiled at the indigenous driver wearing a cyan uniform and a round hat, unconsciously removed the colorful jelly stone from his wrist, wrapped it around his palm, and got into the medieval car on the side.

Seeing the guests in the car, the hotel driver closed the door, walked around to the driver's seat to get into the car, and drove towards Lunuk Airport.

After a short drive on the potholed road, the limousine stopped in a flat wilderness.

"Sir, the airport has arrived. ”

Zhang Lisheng looked speechlessly at the small propeller planes of unknown age parked next to a few cement houses in the field in the distance, and asked after a pause: "If I change my attention and plan to rent this limousine to go to Tuyi Kano, how much will it cost?"

"In terms of kilometers, it is ten meters per kilometer. ”

"Ok, it's still within my tolerance, so what are we waiting for, let's go now, go to the Golden Brick Hotel in Tuyi Kano. ”

"I'll get in touch with the hotel and I'll leave right away. The driver bared his eight white teeth, 'grunted' from the walkie-talkie, turned the car and rushed onto the road again.
