Looking at the fake three-eyed dzi beads that fell on the ground, and then looking at the familiar windbreaker that I had seen more than once in my hand, my heart suddenly began to beat hard. I wanted to find it. The person finally appeared.
After being stunned for a few seconds, I looked up and saw a familiar face stopping not far away and looking back at me with a smile.
It was a sinister smile, as if I had fallen into his trap.
I knew it must be a trap and a conspiracy, but I had to go.
Xue Nanfeng raised his hand to push his eyes on the bridge of his nose, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd. I quickly chased him in the direction he was going. I almost ran because I was worried that if I was a step slower, I would It's like losing it.
But even though I followed him so closely, I lost him in the end. After searching for a long time, I never found Xue Nanfeng's shadow again, as if he had suddenly evaporated from the world.
I don't understand. It's obvious that Xue Nanfeng's intention was to see me, but why did he only show his face once and then disappear?
This made me rack my brains and I couldn't figure out why.
"Hey, who is that? Someone asked me to give this to you!"
A little Tibetan boy with a plateau-red face and a nose as thick as a river walked through the crowd and walked up to me, speaking to me in not very fluent Chinese.
I looked at the little boy in surprise and found a folded note in his hand.
I took the note and opened it hurriedly, only to see a clear sentence written on the note: My good brother, if you want to meet, you must shake off your tail first!
When I saw such a sentence, my body was startled, and I hurriedly turned my head to look behind me.
Although there was a huge crowd of people, I still saw a strange figure among them and disappeared from my sight in a flash.
Tail?
Or maybe someone is really following me, but I don’t know who it is, or even whether the person is a man or a woman.
This makes me think that maybe from the moment I arrived here, I have been moving under Xue Nanfeng's eyes, and he has been observing for a long time, otherwise he would not have discovered that there is a tail behind me. .
Holding the note in my hand, I looked at the little Tibetan boy standing in front of me and said, "Kid, can you tell me who gave you this note? Can you take me to him?"
The little boy’s Chinese proficiency was limited, and what he just said was not very fluent. I told him this and I don’t know if he would understand what it meant.
The little boy was stunned for a moment, blinked at me twice, and then raised his hand and waved at me, which meant that I should follow him.
The purpose of my coming here is to find Xue Nanfeng, and then ask him to let the two women Liu Tingting and Ximei go. As for the tail without the tail, I have no time to do it now, so I will just let the tail continue to follow.
The little boy seemed to be very familiar with this place. He shuttled among the crowd like a ground mouse. He would often stop and look back at me to see if I was following.
The little boy was waiting for me, so I followed him leisurely. Unknowingly, I followed him to an open-air candied haws stall.
"Tanghulu, buy me...candied haws...!"
The little boy pointed to the candied haws stall in front of him and said to me while stumbling.
I was dumbfounded at the time. I thought this little boy would lead me to find Xue Nanfeng, but now it has been proved that the little boy did not understand what I said, which made me excited in vain.
At this point, someone passed me a note. I couldn't just leave. It just so happened that my cell phone came back, and I bought it for him if he wanted to eat.
The little boy was still waiting for my response with bright eyes. I could only sigh helplessly and nodded slightly to him.
Times have changed after all. Even at the foot of the Potala Palace there are people selling candied haws. Not only candied haws, but also almost all kinds of commodities that can be seen in plain cities can be seen here. , which made me sigh and lament the rapid development of our motherland.
Children are easy to keep busy. I thought it would be good to buy one candied haws. But what I didn’t expect was that the little boy was so greedy. He even asked for more than a dozen candied haws in one go. There was a moment of astonishment.
More than a dozen candied haws on a stick were held in the little boy's dirty little hands, and they might fall at any time, but he still used his little mouth to signal the vendor selling candied haws to continue selecting.
Finally, the little boy's greed finally came to an end. The vendor took the dozen candied hawsers from the little boy's hands and began to calculate the price.
"Fourteen in total...two hundred and eighty yuan...!"
The vendor selling candied haws on a stick was a woman, and she also spoke not very fluent Chinese.
Of course, this didn't surprise me. What surprised me was that the candied haws were sold at a sky-high price. One piece actually cost as much as 20 yuan.
It's not that I'm reluctant to spend money, it's just that I don't spend money like this. The most famous candied haws in Tongcheng only cost 7 or 8 yuan a piece. The ones you can buy in the streets are even cheaper, 280 yuan. Ten yuan can wrap up that piece of grass.
I was stabbed invisibly, so I could only admit that I was unlucky. After scanning the code and paying the money, I didn't leave. I thought that this little boy was so young and he couldn't take so many candied haws on his own. , so I plan to be a good person and do it to the end and help him.
But I discovered that after taking the money, the vendor who sold candied haws on a stick did not give the candied haws to the little boy at all, but put it back again.
Seeing this scene, I was very speechless. I thought to myself, isn't this a scam for children? It's a shame I haven't left yet. If I left, it wouldn't be in vain that she cheated me out of 280 yuan. .
"Hey, I've already given money to Tanghulu, why don't you give it to him?" I said with an unhappy look on my face.
The female vendor selling candied haws gave me a fierce look and said, "You...go away, don't disturb my...business...!"
Snapped……!
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted the little boy on the head, "Go...continue to do business...!"
As he said that, the little boy ran away in a hurry.
Seeing this scene, I was immediately speechless. I finally understood what was going on. It turned out that the little boy and the female vendor selling candied haws were in the same group. I was severely beaten by them together. Killed with one knife.
I was angrily helping the little boy beg for it, but after making trouble for a long time, I turned out to be a fool who was completely blinded.
According to my usual temper, this matter will definitely not be easy to get over, but now I really don't have the leisure to argue with others. Besides, this is something that you and I want to do, so I can't blame others.
I haven't eaten anything since I arrived here yesterday. The only thing I drank was the highland barley wine that the foreign woman named Jasmine gave me.
So I casually found another stall and sat down, ordered a very expensive but shrunken wonton and ate it.
I sighed while eating. It seemed that I could only obey what was written on the note at the moment. Only by shaking off the tail that was following me could Xue Nanfeng appear on his own initiative.
Eating wontons, my eyes scanned back and forth on the huge square at the foot of the mountain in front of me, scanning everyone, trying to guess which one of them was my tail.
“Boss, let’s have a bowl of wontons!”
A familiar voice rang in my ears, and the next second a slender and plump woman sat opposite me.
I looked up curiously and almost choked on a mouthful of wontons. I saw that the person sitting opposite me was the foreign woman Jasmine who wanted to drag me into her tent last night!
"Xie Dongzi, what a coincidence. I didn't expect you to come here to eat wontons. The wontons here are delicious. I ate here yesterday, so I came here again today."
As Jasmine spoke, she gestured with emotion, which made the owner of the wonton stall on the side smile against his will.
Looking at Jasmine gesticulating in front of me, I thought to myself, why have you never eaten wontons? This thing is called delicious. Did you grow up eating shit before?
