!!!Brain storage: The whole story is fictional. Don't take it too seriously. When reading my novel, leave your brain here first. Remember to take it back after finishing reading!!!
Under an overpass in Z City.
Jian Xi was sitting on a small mat, with a foreigner half-squatting in front of her.
The two were talking about something, gesturing back and forth, which made the old man selling fruits next to them very anxious!
A few minutes later, the two finally stopped the movement in their hands.
Perhaps because he had been squatting for a long time, the foreigner stood up and moved his legs.
Jian Xi, sitting on the small mat, looked up at the tall foreigner in front of her, organized the language, and said in a sweet but stuttering voice: “Luckin, um, money making, that, that, southwest, go!”
The blond foreigner seemed to understand and not understand. He confirmed with Jian Xi again, “I'll be lucky if I head southwest?”
The air was quiet for about a minute, and the foreigner and Jian Xi stared at each other!
Suddenly, as if remembering something, the foreigner took out his cell phone, opened the translation software on it, repeated what he had just said, and then handed the phone to Jian Xi.
Jian Xi took the phone in confusion and looked at the words on it, I'll be lucky if I head southwest?
Jian Xi: "..." Why didn't you take it out earlier!
After the foreigner left, Jian Xi carefully put the fifty dollars into her small bag, and murmured: "I should have learned English well with my brother's teacher back then, knowing that there would be a day I read fortune for foreigners!"
The 100 dollars for today has been earned enough, time to pack up!
The old man at the fruit stand next door saw Jian Xi start to tidy up the two copper coins on the ground and the small mat. He smiled and asked, "Girl, you finished today. Will you come tomorrow?”
Jian Xi stopped her movements, turned her head and smiled back at the old man, "Old man, I won't come tomorrow. I have almost saved enough for the bus ticket. I'm going to leave here and find my brother. Thank you for taking care of me these days."
The old man waved his hand, "A few fruits can't be considered taking care of you. I think you are a lovely girl, clearly someone with good fortune!" It was a pity that she believes in feudal superstition, but he did not say the last sentence.
Jian Xi shook her head and disagreed: “Old man, I've set up stalls here for so many days. Not only do you give me an apple every day, but sometimes you also help me keep my spot. I really appreciate you!"
The old man smiled. Just as he was about to say it was just a convenience, he didn’t get to open his mouth. He heard Jian Xi continue to say, "Old man, I'm leaving tomorrow. We had an affinity. Ask your son to go out at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and walk southwest, the direction of your home. Maybe his company can still be saved!"
Jian Xi did not affirmatively say that the old man's son's company must be saved, because she only looked at his face, and faces can also change. It mainly depends on what the old man's son would do!
The noble person related to the old man lives very close to him, so meeting is only a matter of time, Jian Xi just accelerated the process.
After saying this, Jian Xi bent over to pick up her small mat, smiled at the old man and said goodbye, then left.
Seeing Jian Xi leaving, the old man hurriedly called her back, took money out of his pocket, took it out while saying, "Wait, girl, I haven't given you the fortune telling fee yet!"
"No need, old man, just take it as a thank you for the apples you gave me these days! Farewell!" Jian Xi said and left directly.
As for why it was not "see you later", it was because the affinity between her and the old man was only limited to this, and they would never meet again!
After leaving the overpass, Jian Xi came to a small inn and returned to her room to tidy up her luggage.
In fact, she didn't have much to tidy up. There were only a few of her clothes in her luggage, some yellow paper and cinnabar for drawing symbols, oh yes, and a few old books.
It took less than five minutes for her to tidy up. She simply cleaned up the room, took the peach wood sword and flute and went downstairs to check out.
Sitting at the front desk was a woman in her forties who was eating melon seeds while watching TV series.
"Auntie, room fee!" Jian Xi said.
"Little girl, I said you can just save it up and pay me all together at the last minute, paying day by day is so troublesome!" The auntie said, but she didn't even look at Jian Xi, her eyes were always staring at the tablet. She stretched out her arm to take the thirty dollars from her hand.
Jian Xi didn't explain too much to her. She thought that if only she could save money!
She was not too concerned about the auntie's attitude either, because she knew the auntie was straightforward, and very warm-hearted at heart.
"Auntie, I'm not staying today. Thank you for making an exception to let me pay the room fee in installments. Farewell." Jian Xi said politely to the auntie.
The small inn here usually requires all accommodation fees to be paid in full upon check-in, plus a deposit. At that time, Jian Xi discussed with her if she could pay day by day. The auntie felt sorry for her and made an exception to let her pay daily without collecting her deposit!
Hearing that Jian Xi was not staying, the auntie paused the TV series, looked up at Jian Xi, and said, "Not staying today, what's going on, did something happen? If you have anything just tell auntie. It's not easy for a young girl like you outside! "
Jian Xi smiled and shook her head, "Auntie, I'm fine. I've saved enough money for the bus ticket. I'm going to find my brother!"
The auntie seemed relieved. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "That’s good if nothing happened. Have a safe trip." After finishing speaking, she clicked to continue watching the TV series.
"Thank you, auntie, I'm leaving!" Jian Xi said.
The auntie still didn't look up, just waved her hand at her.
Jian Xi smiled and shook her head. She put on her small package and left the inn.
She took out an old mobile phone that was rarely seen nowadays from her small bag. Jian Xi clicked the screen on and glanced at the time on it.
Well, taking the airport bus to the airport now should still be able to catch the last flight of the day!
Putting her mobile phone back into the small bag, tightening the package on her shoulder, she walked towards the direction of the passenger transportation hub.
