Chapter 61: The Toothless Girl

Although Xie Cunguan was confident, Lin Bing obviously still looked a little unconvinced. However, Lin Bing is also a person who often runs outside, so naturally he did not put this distrust on his face. After talking about things, it was still early, so Lin Bing invited Xie Cunguan and others to go around Shandagen together, and invited them to dinner by the way.

Xie Cunguan and others' Chinese food was served at the airport fast food restaurant after flying off Kota Kinabalu. You can't lose anything, so I called Liu Fan and Dai Ruoxi, and the three of them got into Lin Bing's car and started to visit Sandakan.

Sandakan City, the second largest city in Sabah, is a bay city with very pleasant scenery.

Lin Bing is also a man with a heart who often runs outside, so he naturally knows what outsiders like to see the most, so the car slowly drove onto the highway along the bay, where the terrain is higher, and you can clearly see the charming scenery in the bay and the fishing boats returning from afar.

Xu was lucky, when the car reached the highest point along the curved road, just when the sun was setting at sea level, Lin Bing stopped the car at the right time and asked them to stop and have a good time.

After watching the red sun shine and fill the sky with clouds, it fell from the sea level little by little, suddenly like a beautiful butterfly, that season was short, but breathtakingly beautiful, Xie Cunguan looked at it, a pale and stubborn face suddenly appeared in his mind for no reason, and tears filled his eyes for a while.

Why is beauty always short-lived, what is the purpose of people coming to the world in this life?

In this moment. He thought of his father. At the last moment of his life, when he had to leave his wife, weak and young family, how did he feel? He thought of his sister Xie Si, who gave up her studies at a young age and took on the responsibility of supporting the family. The "cause" for which they gave their lives was actually wrong! He thought of Surabaya, Indonesia, and at the moment of Li Foxie's death, did he still have concerns? He thought of the bloody battle on the long street, and the sword flashed. In the end, he thought of Zhang Miao'er, his Miao'er, at the last moment of her life, when she left herself, whether she was reluctant to leave regrets because of happiness, or happy and finally had no regrets because of reluctance!

When the last trace of red glow on the horizon was hidden under the water, Lin Bing started the car again. He laughed and said, "Ha, you're in good luck! It's easy for people to come across such a beautiful sunset at such a good time and in such a suitable place......

His words brought Xie Cunguan back to his senses, he sighed inaudibly, and when he turned his face, he saw Dai Ruoxi's calm face that was looking at him thoughtfully.

Xie Cunguan couldn't help but reach out to wipe the wetness from the corners of his eyes, and said self-deprecatingly: "The sea breeze is so strong!"

Dai Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around and walked to the car, he said almost inaudibly: "It's actually a good thing to be able to cry!"

Xie Cunguan was slightly stunned. But then he strode towards the car and asked Lin Bing loudly: "Boss Lin, I saw the sunset, what are we going to eat tonight?

Lin Bing turned around and grinned: "Usually guests from China. They all like to eat the water houses here, especially in Bujia Village. As for those seafood restaurants, although the taste is more exquisite, one is less of a home feeling, and the other is that the seafood is eaten there, and the whole world is the same taste, and there is no special taste of Sandakan people. Therefore, today I will invite you to the water house, and tomorrow it is estimated that the heads of the club will invite you to a big dinner, Lao Lin, I have been financially tight recently, so I won't spend that unjust money......"

Several people laughed when he said this, and Xie Cunguan suddenly felt that this unpretentious way of talking made him feel much more relaxed for a while.

As the car descended along the Bay Road, the whole city of Sandakan lit up gradually, and although it was not as brightly lit as the bustling city, it was less dazzling, but it had a more beautiful sense of tranquility.

Lin Bing closed his mouth at the right time, and there was silence in the car, echoing the night in this distant country.

"Small nations and widows, so that there are vessels of Shibo and not used, so that the people die heavy and do not move far. Although there are boats, there is nothing to ride, although there are armoured soldiers, there is nothing to show, so that the people can use the rope again. To the extreme, willing to eat, beautiful clothes, live in peace, enjoy its customs, neighbors look at each other, the voice of chickens and dogs hears each other, and the people do not interact with each other until they are old and dead......" Xie Cunguan's mind suddenly flashed with this text from Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching.

When he was a teenager, he couldn't understand this text at all, he only felt Lao Tzu's negativity and lack of progress. But today, after the killing, in this quiet and exotic small city, he suddenly felt the greatness of Lao Tzu.

Human beings pursue immortality, but life is rare for 70 years, that is, modern people have developed science branches, cut their livers and kidneys, and there are a few people who can pass the age of 100 and do not go; human beings pursue speed, and the space shuttle can bring people to the moon, but there are always places that people can't reach in the Haohan universe; human beings pursue food, but when Xie Cunguan lived a difficult life when he was a child, he would be surprised by the meat for a meal, but today, when there is meat for a meal, every time it is time to eat, he will worry about what to eat. Because it seems that eating nothing is fragrant anymore, human beings pursue happiness, but in modern life, happiness has become less and less.

Modern children play intricate and colorful computer games that are not as fun as a wooden gun in the past. But the side effect is that the children are missing a pair of bright eyes.

When the tall buildings constitute the main elements of human life, and the vision of people in the city can only be seen at 50 meters at most, Xie Cunguan does not understand that people's happiness is there.

The car finally drove into the legendary Bujia Village, and bursts of fresh fragrance wafted out from various homes or food stalls. Most of the solicitors at the door are men, and they show honest smiles, and the more shrewd looks are hidden in their eyes. Xie Cunguan thought of the taste of home that Lin Bing said on the mountain just now. He suddenly burst out laughing silently.

Family. There will always be only one, and there will never be anything else in the smiles of my mother and sister on my face.

Of course, there is also Miao'er, the stubborn girl who awaits him in another world.

The car finally stopped at the door of a house, but it was not an uncle who greeted the customer at the door, but a beautiful little girl. He looked like he was about ten years old, showing his teeth that had not yet grown, and smiling shyly. It makes people feel infinite goodwill for no reason. Seeing Lin Bing's car, the child showed a happy expression, and ran up to help open the door, but didn't say a word. Lin Bing got out of the car. First, he took out a small bag of candy from his body and handed it to her.

The girl blushed when she saw Xie Cunguan, Dai Ruoxi and Liu Fan, who had already gotten out of the car, but still took the bag of candy, and then Lin Bing squatted down and pointed to her face.

The girl looked at the other guests, looked at the candy in her hand, hesitated and hesitated, and finally stretched out her mouth and kissed Lin Bing on the face. So he ran away with a red face, pushed open the door that was slightly hidden, and invited them in.

Lin Bing explained to Xie Cunguan with a smile: "The daughter of a good friend of mine is very smart, but unfortunately she was born with a vocal cord problem and can't speak. Originally, I was going to do vocal cord reconstruction, but then my friend had an accident......" Speaking of this, Lin Bing's voice was lowered: "I have been delayed until now, I am nine years old, and I have not gone to school yet." ”

Between words. Everyone entered the door, and a Malay woman, led by a little girl, came out to greet everyone with a smile and a smile, and hurried into the kitchen again.

After pouring tea for everyone, the little girl took out a little boy of four or five years old from the house. Holding the candy given by Lin Bing, the little boy giggled. Xie Cunguan noticed. After putting a piece of candy in her brother's mouth, the little girl carefully wrapped the candy bag, put it in her pocket, and then, with a look of satisfaction and joy, ran to the kitchen to help her mother.

He couldn't help laughing, remembering the time when his father was away, when his sister Xie Si had just gone to work, the delicious food at the unit party had to be wrapped back and brought to himself and his mother.

When the seafood is brought from the house to the table, the smell of fragrant seafood is fragrant.

This kind of smell is really different from the big hotel, it lacks that delicate taste, but it has an indescribable earthy aroma. Even the sea-moldy smell of pickled sauerkraut has a sense of intimacy.

The table was very large, the dishes were sumptuous, and the little boy looked at the dishes on the table with great disdain. Obviously, this is a sumptuous dish that the family can't usually eat.

Lin Bing laughed, picked up a chopstick dish, fed it to the little guy, and then slapped it on the little buttocks and said, "Go, go to the kitchen to find my sister and mother!"

Xu was his words that alarmed the young lady in the kitchen, and the little girl ran over, smiled apologetically at everyone, and was about to pull her brother into the kitchen.

Dai Ruoxi grabbed the little girl and her little brother, and said to the three people on the table: "The table is so big, and there are so many dishes, it's better to call them all to eat together, otherwise, it will be wasted in a while......"

Lin Bing listened to her words, couldn't help scratching his head, glanced at Xie Cunguan, and said with some embarrassment: "This is not good, it is not in accordance with the rules! Open the door to do business, then you can eat with the guests, unless you invite friends, you can't collect money!"

Xie Cunguan looked at Dai Ruoxi, and then smiled at Lin Bing and said: "What is not in accordance with the rules, the rules are not set by people! Just now you said on the road that the biggest advantage of eating here compared to a big hotel is that you feel at home." For the sake of this homely feeling, you should also invite the host to eat together! As for whether to collect money or not, hey, the host goes to the table to let the guests find a home, and it is good not to charge service fees, do you want to save money for difficult meals?"

When Lin Bing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, obviously he didn't expect Xie Cunguan to be so good at talking, and couldn't help but look at him deeply. It's not been a day or two since he came out to mix, and Lin Bing naturally knows that details determine success or failure.

Xie Cunguan's opening to speak immediately made him feel that this young man was not only careful, but also able to consider others in his own shoes. But this kind of person is often the most terrible, as a friend, consider the problem from the perspective of a friend, this is called giving up one's place. But what about being an enemy? Being able to think from the enemy's point of view is called a cunning plan.

Thinking of this, he stood up, picked up the little boy, put it on his lap, and said to the little girl: "Yaya, go and call your mother to come to dinner together, Uncle Lin has a treat today!"

The little girl flashed her big eyes, glanced at Lin Bing, then at Xie Cunguan, and finally glanced at the food on the table greedily, and ran into the kitchen.

After a while, the girl pulled her mother out. The woman looked embarrassed, but under Lin Bing's persuasion, she still sat down at the table, and as soon as she spoke, Xie Cunguan and the others were taken aback, and she actually spoke fluent Cantonese.

It turns out that in Sandakan, Cantonese is the lingua franca. To be continued
