Chapter 586 (1/2)
Chang Wen said: ”elder brother, we are once born, twice acquainted, and three friends. What's more polite? Madam, you can take ten baked cakes for elder brother. Well, the 100 yuan will be put in the hotel. It's elder brother's money. You can make an account for it.”
The motorcycle driver said happily: ”little brother, you are really interesting. I'm in love with you. If you take my motorcycle, I'll give you a 20% discount.”
Chang Wen waved his hand and said, ”elder brother, I don't need you to discount. I just need you to be on call and send me to the county safely. If there is any trouble on the way, please help me settle it.”
Mo's driver patted his chest and said, ”little brother, I have many friends in this town. If anyone dares to trouble you, you will squeak and I will beat him.”
”Thank you, big brother.”
The landlady took ten pancakes, put them in a plastic bag and handed them to the motorcycle driver.
Mo's driver patted Chang Wen on the shoulder and left with a smile.
The landlady asked Chang Wen curiously, ”little brother, are you here to visit relatives or to travel?”
”I'm here to visit my family.”
The landlady said doubtfully: ”I see you like this. It seems that you have encountered something difficult. Are you in trouble?”
”Ha ha... I don't have any trouble. I just think I'm not familiar with my life here. I'm afraid I'll have any trouble.”
The landlady asked, ”do you come to my hotel just to get close to the motorcycle driver?”
”No, I'm here for lunch. I met this motorcycle driver once in a while, and I thought it was very congenial.”
The landlady looked at Chang Wen and asked, ”in which village are your relatives?”
”In Zhangjiatun.”
Chang Wen told a lie.
The landlady laughed and said, ”little brother, I'm a native here. I've never heard of a Zhangjiatun. I thought: you must have made up this Zhangjiatun?”
Chang Wen embarrassed smile, explained: ”landlady, my relative's address, please forgive me to keep secret.”
The landlady asked: ”little brother, are you here to meet your lover?”
Chang Wen nodded.
The landlady said solemnly, ”little brother, I have to warn you that if you find a married woman, you have to be careful. The people in the mountains here are very savage. If you know that you have given him a green hat, you will never be spared.”
”I... my lover is not married yet.”
”Little brother, if your lover is a big yellow girl, remember: you can't sleep with your lover. If her parents know, they will be rude to you. Our custom here is: no roommates are allowed until the day of marriage. ”
Chang Wen nodded and said, ”I know this custom. I just want to meet my lover this time.”
”See?”
Chang Wen nodded.
The landlady glanced out the door and reminded, ”little brother, I see a man staring at you. Maybe it's your lover's brother or your rival.”
Chang Wen was surprised, looked out of the hotel and asked, ”is someone staring at me?”
”Yes, a man of about 30 years old was peeping around the door of the restaurant several times. I thought he was a beggar, but every time he peeped out, he was looking at you.”
Chang Wen was surprised and said, ”Madame, if that guy shows up again, please remind me.”
Chang Wen asked the landlady, ”do you have a mirror?”
”What do you want a mirror for?”
”I turned my back to the door. If I turned my head, the watcher must have shrunk. If I looked in the mirror, he might not have noticed.”
The landlady took a mirror from the bar and handed it to Chang Wen.
Chang Wen put the mirror on the table and adjusted the direction so that he could see the door of the hotel from the mirror.
