I don't know if the passenger transport was in a traffic jam while I was asleep, so this trip took a lot longer than the originally estimated 5 and a half hours.
When the car finally arrived at the passenger station in Pingtung, I looked up at the electronic clock hanging in the front of the car, and realized that it was almost seven o'clock at this time.
Oh? Tingwei, who had just woken up by me, asked sleepyly
Before I asked her to get up, I was a little afraid that Xu Tingwei would get up or something.
Unexpectedly, although Xu Tingwei was sleeping well, he woke up as soon as my hand touched her shoulder, and he didn't say much to complain.
Well, I'll get off the bus later. I said that, and turned to look at Jiaqian, who had already returned to her seat.
Jia Qian nodded and told me she was ready.
After the driver parked the car and opened the door, the three of us got out of the car with our schoolbags and set foot on this tropical southern land.
Although it was the end of December, when I looked up at the cloudless light blue sky and found that the oncoming wind was not chilling, I even felt that summer was coming back.
After looking at the houses around me that were no more than three floors and the coconut trees standing next to the second road, I silently felt that if I hadn't been the one I had on my mind now, I would have been excited by the unimaginable scene beside the train station.
Wow, I really didn't expect there would be a convenience store here! Xu Tingwei, who had already woken up, said something rudely.
Have you never been to Pingtung before? Jiaqian asked
I only went to Kenting during my graduation trip. Do you think there is a place to sell clothes nearby? I really want to change my uniform?
There must be some, but it's still so early, they probably haven't opened yet
What we said is right? Then let’s go and eat first! Is there anything delicious nearby?
Well, let me check it out
Wait? Wait a minute! I interrupted them, the happier they were chatting
Now I should have a car to go to Wanjin, right? Let's go there quickly, okay? Since I never thought Xu Tingwei was a good person to get along with, I actually struggled for a long time before I said it.
In addition to feeling that my opinions are likely to be ignored, I was even a little afraid of making her angry
But I still have to say what I should say, so I made the mental preparation that I might have to part ways with them here and said it out.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what I said, Xu Tingwei seemed to remember something important and said: Yes, I almost forgot that you were coming to find your sister!
??Ah? I don't really believe what my ears hear
So let's take a ride over quickly!
Eh!?
What are you surprised?
At once??
OK OK OK Let's buy something casually and take it to the car to eat! Jiaqian hurriedly came to smooth things over
In this way, we bought some egg cakes and milk tea in the small shop next to the passenger station for breakfast, and then we were about to take the bus in the city.
However, after studying the timetable on the wall, I found something bad, that is, it took almost an hour and a half to reach Wanjin.
The bus is very slow, should I change to a taxi? Xu Tingwei next to me asked
Although Xu Tingwei's proposal can be said to be the best solution, I still said: Taking a taxi is too expensive, and neither Zhewei nor I have that much money on it.
I'll pay the money Ah! Xu Tingwei added: Anyway, if I came by myself, I would definitely take a taxi
Then? Why are you embarrassed?
Just say that you two are just taking my free ride, don't feel embarrassed?? What? Do you have no objection? Xu Tingwei turned around and asked Jiaqian
Miss, what do you say? How dare you have any objections? Jiaqian is so respectful that she just didn't bow to salute Xu Tingwei
Are you really exaggerated? Although Xu Tingwei said this on his mouth, he didn't look dissatisfied. Maybe they usually sing like this.
So we carried our breakfast back to the train station
Although it was still early, several taxis were waiting in the passenger area
Maybe because we looked like tourists, a few taxi drivers came over to greet us immediately
However, because we believed in our own eyes, we smiled politely to them and chose a newer car that looked more gentle.
After negotiating the price with the driver (mainly it was Jiaqian, but Xu Tingwei made a "too expensive" from time to time, and the naughty trick of "I didn't spend so much money last time" seemed to have played a big role), we got on the bus and started our journey to Wanjin
By the way, in terms of seat arrangement, Jiaqian is in the passenger seat. Xu Tingwei and I are sitting in the back seat. Of course, I have not considered letting Jiaqian and Xu Tingwei sit together, but since the job of chatting with the driver is like a boy, Jiaqian, who looks like a boy, is more suitable for this decision.
After the car started, I first looked at the street view outside the window and found that the first impression that the near Pingtung Railway Station, which seemed not very lively, was actually just an illusion.
Looking around, although the houses on both sides of the street are not very high, there are many stores opened. Even if they are not open yet because they are still early, they will not feel deserted.
Xiao Ling, look! There is even FIFTYPERCENT here! Xu Tingwei excitedly pointed at a clothing store outside the car
Wow, it's really! I tried to pretend to be surprised to avoid Xu Tingwei's fun
But I think the texture of their clothes is actually pretty good, so I can't say that I love them very much
Then you are so excited, I tried hard to suppress my urge to complain
Xu Tingwei continued to say happily: But Pingtung is far more lively than I thought! If you set out early in the morning, you can arrive at around noon, right? Then have a meal at the train station, eat after you have enough, and then go there for thousands of dollars. After a sway, you can see the church light show at night. This plan feels super perfect!
Well, I'm a little at a loss for Ah??
After all, although Xu Tingwei originally said that she was very interested in Wan Jin and said that she wanted to come with us, wasn’t she already here with her boyfriend Jiaqian?
Do she plan to come with Jiaqian again in the future?
While I was confused, the taxi driver started chatting with Jiaqian in Taiwanese in Chinese
Since I am not very good at Taiwanese, I can say that the driver and Jiaqian and the others had a conversation. I just vaguely felt that they should be discussing what delicious food and fun places are here in Pingtung.
Although I was not completely curious about the content of their conversation, when I thought that I should focus more on thinking about how to find Sister Shuzi, I didn’t try to think about what they said from a few words I could understand. Of course, I would not spend more time interpreting what Xu Tingwei just said.
After that, while eating breakfast, I planned how to find Sister Shuzi in an unfamiliar place later.
For this reason, I tried to use my mobile phone to collect information about Wanjin. In addition to the local accommodation information that I must know, I also looked at the introduction of the Hall of Wanjin. I learned that the oldest church in Taiwan was built by a Spanish priest during the Qing Dynasty. It was named the Hall of the Virgin by the Pope in 1984.
In addition, before the Pingtung County Government held the Thousand-Gold Christmas Season in 2011 for the sake of sightseeing, there was an event called the Parade of the Virgin in early December.
Judging from the introduction of the text, it seems like the Mazu circumference held in the middle of around March. It was carried by the church members in the holy sedan chair with the statue of the Virgin Mary and surrounded by believers to circumnavigate locally.
As I looked at it, I felt that in addition to the novel light sculpture performance, the Hall of the Holy Mother of the Ten Thousand Golden is an interesting tourist attraction because it carries a lot of history and culture.
However, due to my physique that is prone to motion sickness, I quickly had to take a break because I was a little dizzy.
In order to relieve the dizziness, I looked out the car window again, and then I found that the houses on both sides of the road had become shorter and there were a lot of iron houses. Betel nut trees were occasionally there were wastelands where weeds could grow at will, or a whole betel nut tree.
Have we left the city?
So it will be a thousand gold soon?
Looking at this situation, I couldn't help but think like this
However, when I tried to continue thinking about finding Sister Shuzi, I didn't know if I was a little sleepy because I had just had a full meal, or I was really sick. I gradually couldn't organize my thoughts in a organized manner, but could only let one thought after another that had no logic to each other constantly pop up in my heart.
I first thought about what dishes I prepared when I had lunch with my senior on the top floor of the school building, and then suddenly recalled the plot of the movie I went to watch with my senior before.
But as I was thinking about the particularly touching scenes in the movie, my thoughts jumped to something else
I thought about the colors of the scarf I had recently worn, and then I started to think about the fact that when my senior sister kissed me farewell recently, did she kiss my cheek or my forehead more often? Finally, I even remembered the past when I was with my senior sister in China.
What are you thinking about? Xu Tingwei, who didn't know when he leaned over, asked
Uh, no??
Missing your sister?
Right? Yes? Since Xu Tingwei must have forgotten my relationship with my senior sister, I didn't know how to explain it, so I had to lie
Then you have a really good relationship with your sister. You just looked like the person you like.
?? I touched my cheek unconsciously, wanting to know how my facial muscles work to reveal such information
Well, don’t take my words to heart, I just said it casually. Xu Tingwei seemed to have misunderstood my silence, but the next second, she muttered again: But no matter how you looked at the thoughtful expression, it was all about Zhang’s lover’s face!
Haha I laughed a few times. You? Are you thinking too much?
Yes?? After pausing, Xu Tingwei asked again: Hey, why did your sister suddenly run to Wanjin Ah?
Uh?? After hesitating for a second, because I didn’t think that Sister Shuzi’s reputation was something worth protecting, I decided to tell the truth: To be honest, I don’t know much, after all, she suddenly disappeared without saying anything. I just happened to see it on TV that it seemed to be hers, but Ah. I think she should have gone because of a man??
Oh? Xu Tingwei's eyes immediately lit up. Man? Boyfriend?
If it was a boyfriend, it would be great? After a pause, I said: My sister, Ah, is a hopeless uncle. As long as the other party is an uncle, she can easily make her seasick and messy. Maybe they are not familiar with each other at all. My sister was just abducted because she was too obsessed with the other party.
This way, Xu Tingwei's mouth twitched a few times, and there was a look of disbelief on his face. He seemed to start to feel like a fool like Sister Shuzi, so he might as well just leave it alone and ignore it.
In order to avoid Xu Tingwei starting to feel that it doesn’t matter if she releases Sister Shu, I quickly said: Actually, my sister is not that bad, she still has some advantages?
Like?
Just?? I frowned and seriously recalled every bit of what I had been with Sister Shuzi these days
But I didn't want it to be fine. When I thought about it, I found that Sister Shuzi who came to my mind looked lazy, bad and useless, and I couldn't find any place worthy of praise at all.
Finally, I had to ask Jiaqian for help
Zhewei! My sister should have what advantages, right?
What about this?? Jia Qian also looked embarrassed. It seemed that no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't tell me. So
But I don’t know if it’s lucky or unfortunate, Xu Tingwei became interested in other things. She asked curiously: Oh? Xie Zhewei, you are also familiar with Xiao Ling’s sister?
Just say we are childhood sweethearts! So I know Xiaoling's family Ah. Jiaqian said calmly and didn't know if it could be considered a lie
So Xiao Ling, you and Zhewei's family are also very familiar with each other? Xu Tingwei turned his finger at me.
Are you quite familiar?? I answered without hesitation, after all, they are actually my parents
No wonder you would go to Xie Zhewei's house after an accident. Xu Tingwei said suddenly as if he had realized it, and then asked: Then how old have you met Ah since you were?
Just?? Jiaqian and I looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, Jiaqian said: It should have started in elementary school. Although we are in the third and fourth grades of class, we live close to each other, so we became familiar with the same path as going to and from school in the first grade.
Wow! You are really childhood sweethearts since childhood! For some reason, Xu Tingwei strengthened his tone in some subtle places
Then, she turned her head to me and asked: Hey, Xiao Ling, is Xie Zhewei like this in the past?
Uh?? I don't know how to answer. After all, I don't know what Xu Tingwei views Jiaqian, so naturally, this is what she said now. There is no concept of it.
Maybe I discovered my confusion, Xu Tingwei added: Although I like to be clever and bluff, I am also gentle and considerate.
She has indeed had good grades since before, and she is very good at taking care of others. I looked at Jiaqian secretly and realized that she didn't know if she looked embarrassed because of her shyness.
Ah, right, and he is also very masculine!
Jia?? I almost blurted out that Jiaqian had been regarded as a man since she was a child, but as soon as I realized that this was not what I should have said to Xu Tingwei (and it would definitely make Jiaqian angry if I talked about it), I could only implicitly echo: Yes, right??
Um?? Xu Tingwei narrowed his eyes, as if my answer had made her think of something
But when I couldn't stand the silence that followed, the car began to slow down slowly and stopped soon after
I looked out the window and found that the white-backed double-tower church was already reachable by walking alone
It's in place. The driver said this in Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent, which declares that our journey has entered the next stage.
Wanjin Village where the Virgin Hall is located is a small village in Wanluan Township with a population of only more than 2,000. Except for the settlements around the church, most of them are farmland or forest land.
However, although land use is mainly for agricultural use, perhaps because of the focus on the development of tourism industry in recent years, looking around, there are many houses on the first floor for stores, and there are many stalls covered with tarps beside the road. It seems that there should be many food vendors here later, which will make this place very lively like a night market.
So how do we start looking for it? Jiaqian asked
What about this?? After a pause, I said: First of all, I think we have to confirm whether Sister Shuzi is really here. After all, although someone who can dress that kind of virtue should not have anyone else in Taiwan, it is not impossible that I have read it wrong.
It makes sense, Jiaqian nodded
So I want to walk around here first. When I meet someone, I ask if I have seen a crazy woman wearing strange clothes coming here.
After confirming that she was really here, we were going to the nearby accommodation to see if Sister Shu was still there, right? Then I'll look for what travel there are here.
There are three places to live. Because I have searched for relevant information, I directly interrupted Jiaqian.
The first is the Hall of the Holy Mother of the Golden. The Catholic Center provides beds to stay overnight, but I don’t think Sister Shuzi would stay there no matter how much I do. After all, the only advantage there should be that it is that it is relatively cheap.
It wouldn't be impossible if other places are full of customers?
What I said is??Ah, and the other two places are homestays, which are about ten minutes and half an hour away from here.
Then let’s first inquire about your sister’s whereabouts on the shopping street. Jiaqian said this first, then turned to Xu Tingwei and said: As for you? Let’s go and have a walk by yourself?
??Ah? I looked at them with an uneasy look on my face. In addition to not understanding how Jiaqian said such words to Xu Tingwei, who is a lover, I was also worried that her behavior of neglecting Xu Tingwei would cause a bloody storm.
To my surprise, Xu Tingwei said indifferently: "Ah, but the store here seems to have not opened yet. I think I'd better go to the church first to see it. You're leaving before calling me."
OK, bye~ Jiaqian waved her hand happily to Xu Tingwei.
After watching Xu Tingwei walk away, I couldn't help asking: Isn't that okay?
Ah? Jiaqian was stunned for a moment, but immediately came over and said: Ah, are you talking about what I asked Xu Tingwei to go and have fun by myself?
Um??
There will be no problem. After all, she is going to visit Ah???, so how about it? Do you want her to help?
How dare I Ah!
I think so? After a pause, Jiaqian said again: And Ah, actually her mouth is just a bit broken. To be honest, she is not bad, even if she looks angry, she is just acting.
Yes?? I looked at Jiaqian suspiciously and wanted to ask if this guy was so overwhelmed by love that Xu Tingwei, who was obviously the end of the princess' illness, seemed to be very understanding. But when I recalled the various things that I got along with her in the past, I felt that what Jiaqian said was not completely unreasonable.
Due to the tight time, I think we should come and find it separately! Jiaqian compared the road in front of her with her hands and said: Just look there, I will ask along this road?
Well, that's it. I nodded and agreed to Jiaqian's proposal
After parting with Jiaqian, although I knew that I should grasp every minute and every second, I was still standing alone at the intersection for a while and didn't take a step for a long time.
I narrowed my eyes and tried to see the end of the road. Then I found that although it would wind all the way to the point where it was out of sight, the second half of it felt like it was woods, farmland, etc. It seemed that the only place that could let me find out the news should be in front of me. I don’t know if there are ten shops and pedestrians on the road.
Well, so should I start asking from the stall selling fairy grass here? Wait, it hasn't started selling Ah yet! The vendors here think that they only come out to set up stalls at night. Now it's best to find someone! I'm talking to myself
Ah, there is a laundry over there, it can't be opened yet, right?? No, Ah! Sister Shuzi is unlikely to take clothes here to wash, and said, even if she asks, it should be useless!
I continued to recite: But even if I found a store that I could ask, how would I open my mouth better? I asked them if I saw a woman in a kimono here last night? But even if they said yes, can I be 100% sure that the person is Sister Shuzi? Will there be other crazy people dress like that? Should I think about what other characteristics Sister Shuzi have? But that guy has anything else that can be said to besides being lazy and worse than others, and is worse than anyone else's heart?
Little sister, don't you need help? A Chinese Taiwanese voice came from behind
Oh! I was startled, and when I turned my head, I realized that the person who was speaking was a dark-skinned and gray-haired under the flower shirt. I looked like I was a local man.
You can't find the way?
No, me??
Or have you separated from your friends?
No, just? After stuttering for a while, I said: I'm looking for someone?
Looking for someone?
Me? I was looking for my sister. Although I didn't plan to say so much to strangers, I felt that I couldn't explain the matter clearly if I didn't start from scratch. I still said: This is the thing. My sister disappeared. Then I suddenly learned that she might have been here yesterday, so I came over to ask if anyone had seen her?
After a pause, Oujisan said: It’s just that it’s fun to have a night out! It should be easy to have an impression of someone among so many tourists.
That's right??
But you can still tell me what your sister looks like. Maybe I won’t remember it.
OK? OK! After taking a breath, I started talking about Sister Shuzi’s appearance: My sister is actually quite beautiful!
Ah?? Oujisang's face turned dark. What's the beautiful way to do it?
It should be considered a classical beauty? Yes, although they are sisters, my sister actually doesn't look like me at all! She is about one head taller than me, and she is almost thirty years old? But my sister is actually well maintained. No one would doubt it if she is a OL who has just left the society!
Oh?? Oujisan scratched his head, but it seemed that he could not think of the relevant person from my description
Woo?? Seeing that I said so much but it was useless, I was so anxious that I was about to cry
That’s right! My sister is so white because she stays at home and doesn’t go out!
Well??
And my sister didn’t dye her hair, but she just tied her long black hair on her head!
oh??
Then my sister didn't apply nail polish or anything because she was lazy!
Um??
Ah Yes! My sister actually has a very good figure, but she can’t tell her because she’s wearing kimono!
kimono?
And my sister also has a super charming beauty mole on her face???Wait?Wait, have you seen someone wearing a kimono? I was halfway through my words and found that Ojisang seemed to have his eyes lit up because of the keywords I mentioned!
Why did I completely forget to start talking about Ah from Sister Shuzi’s most eye-catching dress!
Wu Ah Oujisan said: Yesterday, someone in a kimono came here and saw me!
True or fake! Although I was so excited that I was so excited, I continued to ask: Have you ever spoken to her? Although my sister is a foreigner, she actually speaks Chinese quite well!
Yes! Oujisan nodded
But although she has no accent, she speaks a bit strange. When talking about herself, she uses it? Uh, I'm Xiami?
Yes, yes! My sister must have used strange textbooks to learn Chinese, so she calls herself by herself! The person you are talking about must be my sister! Thank you very much! After getting information about Sister Shuzi, I did come here, so I thanked her and prepared to contact Jiaqian
Well, wait! Oujisan called me and turned around and was about to leave
Which Ah are you trying to go to?
Just? I came to find my sister with my friend, and I want to meet her? I was a little uneasy. I was afraid that I would make Oujisang angry because of impoliteness, but he seemed to be just confused where I was going in such a hurry
Then what?
Me? I have checked where the hotel is here, and I will then go to see if my sister is inside?
But even if your sister has been here, it doesn’t mean she will spend the night here!
That's right, but I have no other clues?
You are selling your worries! Oujisang said: Actually, your sister really doesn’t live here!
Eh?
When I met her, I was already late and there was no bus to take. And I happened to hear them saying they wanted to live there? Well, I want to see where they were going to live?
It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter if you think about it slowly! I can wait as long as I want! I was so happy because of the progress of this journey of finding people.
Master, she has indeed been here? After asking for news about Yoshikawa Shuko from an aunt who sold noodles, Li Jiaqian said to herself.
Perhaps it was because the dress was too eye-catching. During Li Jiaqian's interview with residents and hawkers, almost everyone said that they saw a woman wearing a kimono last night.
As more and more rumors were heard, the image of Yoshikawa Shuko walking around this street gradually became clear and specific.
Yes, I didn't lie to you, because this is the first time I saw someone wearing that kind of thing so I remember it very clearly
Just a lady in her twenties, right?
She said this when she came to our store yesterday, the drinks sold by her uncle.
That slender girl in Japanese clothes presses beautiful Ah, the old lady sitting at the door of her house said this
Although he doesn't know much about Hakka dialect, Li Jiaqian vaguely thinks that this should be a compliment to Yoshikawa Shuko's beautiful appearance.
People wearing kimono?
There is Ah, she is with a foreigner!
What?
You ask who is the age of that foreigner?
It's probably 4 or 50 years old that the local young man was about to ride a motorcycle said this
Oh oh oh oh!
I know I know that the Japanese speaks Chinese very well, but although she seems to be afraid that A Douzai, who is traveling with her, doesn't understand Chinese, and she takes the map we bought here and tries to explain it to him, but she just takes the map backward. The clerk of the convenience store said this.
Wearing a kimono, walking with an uncle, and being rash, it should be difficult for a person who can combine these characteristics to find a second one in this world, right?? While muttering to himself, Li Jiaqian took out his cell phone and was about to contact Xiao Ling
But before doing this, her cell phone rang first and was called by Xu Tingwei
Hello? Li Jiaqian answered the phone
Are you with Xiao Ling now? Xu Tingwei on the other end of the phone asked this
No, we are asking about his sister separately
Is there any result?
Almost certain his sister has been here
Then where are you now?
Uh?? Li Jiaqian looked around
I'm in front of a small shop selling almond tea
If you say this, I'd better know where it is!
?? No matter what I say, you can't know where I am now if you are not familiar with the place. Li Jiaqian complained silently in her heart
Forget it, then come and find me, I'm at the door of the Virgin Palace
Well??
I'll come here if I'll call you here, hurry up!
Yes Yes! Although I was planning to meet Xiao Ling, maybe I had developed the habit of unconditional compliance with Xu Tingwei's orders, so Li Jiaqian still agreed.
When Li Jiaqian walked past the gate composed of two white stone pillars and passed through two rows of trees with lights, she came to the door of the Temple of the Virgin, which blended the east and west architectural styles, and met with Xu Tingwei who was waiting there.
Along the way, Li Jiaqian saw a lot of decorations made for Christmas
The big Christmas tree, the sculptures of reindeer dragging sleds, and the Christmas reds everywhere make the place full of joyful festive atmosphere
It's quite amazing. This church. Looking at this double-tower church with white exterior walls, the big golden characters on the wall and the towering cross, Li Jiaqian felt a sense of sacredness and began to imagine how beautiful it would be when it was turned on.
That's great, I will seriously consider finding Lin Mingfeng to come. Xu Tingwei changed the subject and then said: But before this, let's talk about other things first!
What to talk about?
Like your favorite Xiaoling Ah!
Uh?? Li Jiaqian is a little embarrassed
What to do? I think she doesn't seem to be of any interest to you?
Although he had a long understanding of this matter, Li Jiaqian still couldn't accept it when she was told so directly, so she asked: Why do you think so?
I have observed a lot of places! Xu Tingwei said: When we first met, we saw her care about me so much. I also thought that you should have a good chance, but slowly I realized that it was not so much that she was stupid because she felt that her childhood sweetheart was stolen, but it was because she didn't expect you to have a girlfriend as good as me.
You won’t be shy even if you praise yourself like this?
There is no way, facts are facts
?? Li Jiaqian glared at Xu Tingwei silently for a while before asking again: And why does Xiaoling think you are my girlfriend? Didn’t I say that?
I didn't say Ah! But I deliberately asked her to associate in this direction. Xu Tingwei smiled naughtyly.
When I went shopping for midnight snacks together, I said something that would make her misunderstand, judging from her subsequent reaction, she seemed to really believe it.
This?? Li Jiaqian recalled it and realized that Xiao Ling's attitude just now was indeed a bit subtle
Why are you doing this for nothing? Xiao Ling is already very troubled just by thinking about her sister. Don’t add to her troubles!
Hey, I'm kind enough to help you! Xu Tingwei said a little angry
And this will make her diffuse and relax, which should be quite good, right?
Is it better??
Otherwise, you will tell Xiao Ling that you and I are just ordinary friends, and then confess your love by the way?
Just say that you shouldn't bother Xiao Ling with such a thing now??
Don’t you think that it’s because Xiao Ling is now frustrated and fragile and needs someone else’s care, so you should become a force to support her?
Although Xu Tingwei's words sounded very reasonable at first glance, she looked like she was just to watch the show, so Li Jiaqian couldn't agree with her proposal.
She said: Oh, instead of doing this, it’s better to help him find his sister as soon as possible?
As long as you like, you're happy. Xu Tingwei shrugged
So what are you going to do now?
I've already asked about his sister, so I'll go and meet Xiao Ling first, and then go to a nearby hotel together to check it out.
Yes??Ah, did Xiao Ling say that the Virgin Palace is also able to survive, or should we just go and ask?
Good Ah Li Jiaqian was halfway through her words, and she felt the phone in her pocket vibrating
Oh, it must be Xiao Ling who called??
Then hurry up and pick it up Ah Xu Tingwei said urgingly
Yes Yes Yes?? Li Jiaqian took out her cell phone
Not long ago, after thinking for a while, the kind-hearted Oujisan asked me to tell me which hotels are nearby to see if they can awaken his memory.
But when I was about to take out my phone to see the information I just found, he said that it is not convenient to stand and talk like this, so it is better to find a place to sit down.
So I was taken to a nearby small shop selling sweet soup. Oujisan also invited me to a bowl of hot red bean soup.
Originally, I was a little worried about whether I would be sorry for Jiaqian who was traveling around like this, but fortunately, Oujisang really remembered which hotel was the one that Sister Shuzi and the others were going to stay in.
As soon as I got such valuable information, I quickly called Jiaqian to tell her the good news and walked outside the store to wait to meet her (the kind-hearted Oujisang left after eating his portion)
I looked at the time and found that it was only 8 o'clock now
When I think that the hotel usually takes 10 o'clock and check out at 11 o'clock, and Sister Shuzi doesn't look like someone who will get up early to go on a trip, I think the chance that we can block her later should be too big.
Very good, as long as you can find Sister Shuzi, everything will be over! I said to myself: Although I always bully and enslave me, Sister Shuzi should not help me at this time, right? As long as I explain the current situation to her, she will definitely go back to Taipei with me immediately? Well, okay, if she still can't bear to separate from the uncle who kidnapped her to Pingtung, then it's okay to wait for her?
After Sister Shuzi unraveled the magic, everyone should think of me? I can go home, go back to school, go back to the past with Chenghan, Yizhen, everyone in the class? And the happy time I spent with my senior sister? When I think of my senior sister, I feel my heart tugging.
I suddenly remembered the little things of the past, the bitterness and pain of being forgotten by her, and then I looked forward to how she would help me celebrate her birthday in the cafe where she worked. As these scenes with different emotions flashed through my mind one by one, I wanted to cry and laugh, and I had no idea what expressions should be on my face.
But it’s really good that Jiaqian didn’t forget me. If she was missing her, I really don’t know if I could last until now? When I was thinking about my reliable childhood sweetheart, I happened to see her and Xu Tingwei walking towards me?
Uh, wait, why did she walk with Xu Tingwei?
And why did they come from the Virgin Palace?
Xu Tingwei did say that she was going to visit the Virgin Palace!
But isn’t Jiaqian asking me about Sister Shuzi’s news?
Although I knew I had no position to blame Jiaqian (after all, she had done enough for me), when I waved to let them know that I was here, I think the smile on my face must be stiff and unnatural because of the full doubts in my heart.
After taking a few deep breaths and trying to calm my emotions, I said to her who came over: Hey, Zhe? Zhewei, let's go to the hotel where my sister stays!
Let’s go! Jiaqian asked: Then which Ah do they live in?
Just? Just a family called? Uh, what kind of family? It takes about 40 minutes to walk from here.
It's so far Ah? But it's quite troublesome to call a taxi here, and there shouldn't be buses or something. Jia Qian murmured like this first, and then asked: Do you know how to leave?
The kind-hearted Oujisang just now probably told me, and then I also confirmed it with my mobile phone. I said: Let's take a short walk to Wanhe Road, walk to the end and turn left, then walk through a military camp and turn right, and then walk straight for a while and then arrive.
OK! Then let’s go! Jiaqian announced happily, then turned to ask Xu Tingwei beside her and said: Then do you want to stay here? Or go there with us?
Let's go together. Xu Tingwei said: Anyway, what you should watch is almost done.
After I set off, I was afraid that Xu Tingwei would be unhappy because he had to walk for an hour, but after secretly observing her reaction, I found that there was no displeasure on her face, but just thinking about it.
She first stared at Jiaqian's back for a while, and then seemed to turn her head and look at me. I quickly looked forward so that she would not find that I was peeking at her
What is Xu Tingwei doing?
She was really thinking that Jiaqian seemed to be too nice to me?
Could it be that she just ran to Jiaqian to ask for guilt?
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
I can't let Jiaqian's relationship go to ruin because of me, right?
Ah right!
Should I take the initiative to chat with Xu Tingwei so that she can also treat me as a friend?
Then I slowly let her know that I had no intention of Jiaqian, and that I was extremely invincible in supporting their relationship, so she shouldn't treat me as a thorn in her eyes anymore, right?
So what should I talk to her?
First, ask her if she had seen anything interesting in the Temple of the Virgin just now?
Do you want to tell her that the red bean dumplings that Oujisang just invited me to have were so delicious? I suggest that she can go with Jiaqian later?
Or can I talk to her about their band??
While I was unsure of my mind, I secretly looked at Xu Tingwei, and found that she looked at the mountains ahead, staring at the garden surrounded by low walls from time to time. She even took out her cell phone and took photos. She looked like she was sightseeing seriously and could not be disturbed by anyone.
Forget it, anyway, there is still a lot of time, so I will come to find an opportunity to see how to get closer to Xu Tingwei?
I thought this silently, and then I focused on walking the road
As we walked, there were only sugarcane gardens or betel nut forests on both sides of the road without realizing it. The houses and other houses have become one or two buildings for a long time.
Despite this, the end of the road is still far away and unseen, which makes people wonder if we will go to a wilderness.
I took out my cell phone and called out the map
In addition to confirming that we are heading right, we also found that we have not even reached half of our journey yet.
I looked up at the sun hanging in a corner of the sky, and realized that the light it emitted had quietly increased to the point where it would make people sweat. It seemed that the geography textbook did not lie to me. After crossing the Tropic of Cancer, winter was really no different from summer
Should I hold on together? Xu Tingwei, who took out the folding umbrella, asked me at some point
No?No, thank you? Although I have been trying to establish a good relationship with Xu Tingwei just now, when the opportunity suddenly came, I was still frightened and I was not sure
Yes? Xu Tingwei turned around and asked Jiaqian: What about you?
What ah, what ah! I don’t know if I forgot to hide my girlish heart. In fact, Jiaqian, who was afraid of sunburn, immediately jumped happily to Xu Tingwei.
Oh, you are already dark enough, and it’s useless to hold an umbrella! Although Xu Tingwei said that, he still handed the umbrella to Jiaqian’s hands, and then the two of them started chatting under the small umbrella
I pricked up my ears and eavesdropped on me, and found out that they were talking about super literary things like serious novels.
I was surprised at first, thinking that the content of their chats was not as interesting as anything they would have any of them, but then when I thought of their relationship, I felt that this was quite natural.
After all, for couples, it is not important to talk about anything. The key is to be able to have a continuous conversation like this, enjoy the feeling of each other putting time and focusing all their attention on themselves.
As he was talking, Xu Tingwei suddenly turned around and asked me: After finding your sister, Xiao Ling, do you want to do anything?
Uh?? I was stunned for a moment, and then said: You should go back to Taipei quickly??
Ah, do you still have to go back to the landlord to deal with the house, right?
Right? Right??
What a pity Xu Tingwei said: I also want to say that since I have all gone to Pingtung, should I play more and say that I will go to Kenting and other things? Ah! Or should we just go back to Tainan and Chiayi like this?
You?Ah, no, we have to attend classes tomorrow, right?
Just ask for leave! Right? Zhewei Xu Tingwei turned around and asked Jiaqian.
Jia Qian shook her head and said: I think it's time to go back, after all, my wallet is almost empty.
Yes? Although Xu Tingwei seemed to be convinced, he looked depressed
It seems that she really doesn't want her trip with Jiaqian to end, right?
However, although I rationally knew that I should go back to Taipei after finding Sister Shuzi, when I heard Xu Tingwei say this, I still couldn't help but think of the scene of the three of us playing by the beach.
Although I don’t know if I can get into the water now, it would be a very happy thing if I could look at the endless blue sea and bask in the sun leisurely on the beach?
Ah, should I just ask Jiaqian and the others to come back together after the senior sister recovered her memory?
Such a double date will definitely be great!
After passing a yard built by iron, we finally reached the end of Wanhe Road
After that, just turn left and walk through another military camp, maybe you will be able to see the homestay where Sister Shuzi and the others live.
What place is this? Looking at the gray stone wall with snake dragon nets on it next to the road, Xu Tingwei asked this.
It should be Wanjin Camp. I said: Wanjin Camp is now stationed by the 333rd Brigade of the Army Mechanized Infantry? But don’t think of steel bullets when you hear mechanized infantry. It actually refers to soldiers riding in combat chariots and personnel carriers. It seems that because of its remote location and training, there are words such as "Birds in the Tianshan Mountains fly away, and people who are ten thousand golds are destroyed" and "Don’t make a big gold and small gold"
Uh?? Xu Tingwei looked at me dumbfoundedly
How could you know so many messy things? Is it you, Junwu Zui?
Just checked the information and saw it? My face is a little red
Xu Tingwei turned around and asked Jiaqian: Hey, Zhewei, do you want to come here to join the army in the future?
No, Jiaqian refuses immediately
Because I'm afraid of being fucked?
Nonsense, it’s best if someone wants to be abused specifically!
But when you are a soldier, you will be fucked! Why not just be fucked thoroughly!
I don’t want it, and even if I want to be a substitute, it’s better to be a substitute anyway!
Houyou, you can’t be a substitute! Who is a man who has never been a soldier?
I love you so much as Ah!
It's a girl!
What about the promised equality between men and women?
Oh, as long as you are willing to come here to join the army, it is not impossible to ask me to come and see you on the day of the marriage!
What do I want you to do?
Hey, hey, don’t be ungrateful! I will definitely make you feel very proud, okay? Your ladder and other things will definitely treat you differently!
Forehead??
How? Are you moved? Should you just leave school now and join the army?
Don't worry!
?? Looking at them quarrel, I silently found that I had no room for interruption.
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s my illusion. I always feel that when Jiaqian was chatting with Xu Tingwei, her free attitude and relaxed expression were something I had never seen before. It seemed that she was more familiar with Xu Tingwei than me.
Well, now when I think back, how could I dare to teach Jiaqian how to get along with boys?
Her masculine power is simply out of shape!
That's why there is a way to make Xu Tingwei, who is so difficult to get rid of, obedient and sticky?
Wait, because it is actually a girl, Jiaqian can guide Xu Tingwei in a method that boys can't even imagine?
Day Ah!
How can Jiaqian be so powerful?
In this way, when I looked at Jia Qian who was still chatting with Xu Tingwei again, there was a lot of respect and admiration in my eyes.
At the same time, there is a big stone hanging in my heart that can be said to have finally put it down
Before this, I felt more or less guilty about Jiaqian wasting time and energy to dress up as me
But it seems that she is actually quite happy with it, right?
In addition to being a boy with great experience, she even found true love. Maybe I just opened a door in my life for her!
As we walked, we finally walked through the military camp
After turning right according to the sign standing at the intersection, we walked along the trail for about ten minutes before we saw a yellow building standing in the field from afar
Although its blue-bottomed and red-font sign really cannot make people see what it is written on it, because the appearance and location are no different from what the uncle described from me, we still boldly assumed that it should be the destination.
However, although the homestay is already within reach, we have not found a road that we can walk through, and can only look at it from afar through a large field of unknown planting.
Did we turn too early? Xu Tingwei asked me
I don't know when she started, but she didn't continue to chat with Jiaqian
Although she never called her tired, her face couldn't be said to be very beautiful
Probably not? The indicator just now said this path is right! Jiaqian answered for me
But Xiao Ling, do you want to confirm again?
OK! I'll take my phone out to view the map
Well, we probably did not go wrong. I think we just need to walk a little further! It’s really only a little bit! You can see the way to the homestay!
You'd better not make a mistake?? Xu Tingwei's eyes were a little murderous intent, as if she was telling her that she had not much patience left.
Should? Could there be no mistake?
Should? So is there really a possibility of mistake?
When? Of course not! I? I just spoke and spoke a little conservatively. In fact, I am very sure that the path we are taking is absolutely nothing wrong!
That's good? Xu Tingwei narrowed his eyes
I looked at Jiaqian uneasy, and Jiaqian gave me a helpless smile, as if I wanted me not to take Xu Tingwei's intimidation to heart.
ˋNevertheless, my mood was so nervous that I was just so nervous
Fortunately, we really encountered a fork in the road not long after we walked.
In addition to a sign at the intersection, looking at the small path that makes people wonder if the car can walk through, you will find that the end of it should be the homestay.
Seeing that the destination was right in front of us, although the three of us were very tired because we had walked for a long time, our steps became light and brisk.
Walking in the front, I quickly led Jiaqian and Xu Tingwei through the fields.
As I walked, I raised my hand slightly, gently caressed the flowers and plants growing by the passing by, feeling the breeze blowing towards my face, and felt that everything in the world seemed so beautiful and gentle
As the yellow building gets closer and closer to us, I can't help but start to imagine the scene where I meet Sister Shuzi later
According to past experience, even if she wasn't still sleeping, she should have just woken up not long ago.
In addition, although she is sloppy at home, Sister Shuzi usually dresses up whenever she wants to go out, not to mention that she is now out to play with her favorite uncle, so at this moment, the possibility of her taking care of herself in the bathroom should be as high as 80%!
So what should I say first when I meet Sister Shuzi?
I just cried to her and told me if it would be too abrupt if I was bullied by other magicians?
But I shouldn't blame her for running away from home alone without saying anything, right?
After all, she would not want to leave a bad impression on the uncle. I still have to save some face for her.
Then how should I speak?
Although I never like to think about problems, along the way, although my little head is constantly running, my face is always smiling
Even after walking through the courtyard of the B&B and pushing open their door, I was still immersed in my own small world
So when I stood behind the counter, the person who was supposed to be the boss's wife got up and wanted to greet us, I was still stunned and couldn't speak.
Sorry, we are not here to stay, we are here to find someone. Jiaqian stammered and said it out.
Looking for someone? Maybe it was the first time I met someone with such a need, and the boss lady looked confused
My friend and her sister heard that they came to live with you yesterday. We wanted to see her, but I wonder if she is still here?
What about this?? The boss's wife hesitated for a while, wondering if she was considering customer privacy issues.
After looking at the three of us for a while, she said again: The guests who came here yesterday have not left yet, so there should be no problem to go find them.
Great! Thank you very much!
Then can you tell me who is the person you are looking for?
She is a Japanese, named Suzuko Yoshikawa, and the one who walks with him is also a foreigner?? Jiaqian speaks more and more quietly, because even I noticed that the boss's wife seemed to be embarrassed because of her words.
Uh??Is there no such person ever?
No, no, there was such a man and woman who came yesterday, but??
But? Jiaqian and I asked in one voice
When they came, we had no empty rooms, so in the end they didn't live here.
What? I was hit hard, my legs were even weak
this?
What's going on?
Something must have been wrong?
We all worked so hard to get through it!
But Sister Shuzi is not here?
So what should I do now?
Are you going to find it again?
The boss lady said again: But I just helped them find a hotel with free rooms. If you need it, I will ask you if they are still there?
Jiaqian glanced at me, but found that I might have replied to me because I hadn't replied from the bolt from the blue.
Afterwards, the proprietress picked up the microphone and dialed the phone to come and ask for us.
I looked at her uneasyly, then turned to look at Jiaqian, but she didn't notice my gaze because she was also focused on looking at the boss's wife.
But when I lowered my head uneasy, Xu Tingwei quietly held my hand, as if he wanted to give me some care.
I looked at her gratefully, then closed my eyes and begged at all the gods I could name, hoping that they could give me good luck so that I could really find Sister Shuzi this time
In the past two days, I actually feel very lucky
After all, Sister Shuzi will be interviewed by reporters, and I happened to see this news, which is really a coincidence.
And after really coming to Pingtung, in addition to being able to get her news smoothly, I even asked about where she lives. This can only be said to be very lucky.
But when I was only one step away from finding her, was I abandoned by the gods like this?
Isn't this too cruel?
And once all the previous luck is useless, isn’t this simply turning hope into despair?
That strong sense of gap is really unacceptable no matter how it is
Don't Ah, this time I must let Sister Shuzi stay in the hotel obediently, okay? Please??
I prayed over and over again
Sorry, but unfortunately, the boss lady finally said: Although they really lived there, they happened to leave not long ago, so there was no time to leave anything.
Woo?? I feel like I'm about to lose the strength to stand well
Afterwards, the owner of the homestay called a taxi for us, so that we, who had completely lost the clue, could return to Pingtung Railway Station.
Since the journey ended with nothing, our mood was naturally very heavy
We were not in the mood or strength to visit, so we bought a bento and went to the waiting room to sit on a hard chair waiting for the car (Xu Tingwei said he wanted to pick up a souvenir and made an appointment to meet us later)
Don't worry, we will definitely find the master's later. Jiaqian said to me like this while eating
Yes, I nodded
Anyway, I saw her on TV for no reason. God knows if that fool will be interviewed by reporters again immediately.
Hearing me say this, Jiaqian immediately said with great enthusiasm: Ah and Ah, you see, as long as the master has been to this time, don’t everyone have a very impression of her? So it shouldn’t be difficult to get her news, right?
So next time I can find Sister Shuzi. I will definitely squeeze out a smile and try to speak out with the most powerful voice.
But I don't know if this is being said to Jiaqian or to myself.
At the same time, a Juguang ship that had just left Fangliao Station was slowly accelerating, and was about to carry passengers above along the South Return Railway, from the west coast of Taiwan to the east coast.
In the middle of the car, there is a pair of passengers who can easily be seen from their outfits and appearance sitting side by side with foreigners sitting side by side
Dear? Dear?? Just saying these words made Yoshikawa Shuko's cheeks red and she wanted to jump into the sea that should be not far away
What's wrong? The foreign uncle asked with a smile, tolerating Yoshikawa Shuko's loss of attitude with a mature and steady attitude
His slightly narrowed eyes made the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes more obvious, but the traces of the years made Yoshikawa Shuko so excited that she was almost breathless.
Just? Just? Just? Just?? In order to make the conversation between the two go on, Yoshikawa Shuko took a deep breath so that her emotions could calm down.
When you are in the morning, I am still lying on the bed, don’t you say that you want to walk on the streets of ten thousand gold by yourself? Have you seen anything interesting?
There is Ah The foreign uncle's smile on his face is deeper
I met a lost cute kitten
Cute? Yoshikawa Shuko, who completely grasped the wrong point, mistakenly thought that a rival appeared and shook in shock
The uncle smiled and said: It's very cute, but no matter how cute it is, it's not as good as Shuzi, you Ah~
Hearing the uncle say this, Yoshikawa Shuko first fanned the wind on her red face with one hand, and her other hand quickly pulled the collar of the kimono without considering her image. It seemed that she would get burned if she didn't get a breath quickly.
But after working hard for a while, she found that her whole body was still hot as if she had a fever, so she had to stand up and say: No? No! My belly? My stomach suddenly felt so uncomfortable! It’s really impossible not to go to the toilet!
Yes? The uncle still smiled brightly
Then go quickly, I'll take care of my luggage
Thank you? Thank you! As soon as he finished speaking, Yoshikawa Shuko rushed out of the carriage as fast as possible
After watching Yoshikawa Shuko disappear with the closing of the car door, the foreign uncle put away his smile and exhale as if he was about to exhale all the air in his lungs.
After changing his breath, the foreign uncle in the position just now disappeared, replaced by a man with black hair and black eyes, nationality cannot be seen, and age is difficult to judge from his appearance.
Alas, I really hope that the kitten can end up with a happy ending. Ah?? The black-haired man, the culprit of everything, Raymond Clarkhawk, the servant of Ala Mesmer, first muttered to himself like this, then closed his eyes, as if he wanted to take a good rest during the period when Yoshikawa Shuko was away. Since the other party probably jumped into the Taiwan Strait to calm down, this leisure time that was idle and completely relaxed should be able to last for a long time.
When the car finally arrived at the passenger station in Pingtung, I looked up at the electronic clock hanging in the front of the car, and realized that it was almost seven o'clock at this time.
Oh? Tingwei, who had just woken up by me, asked sleepyly
Before I asked her to get up, I was a little afraid that Xu Tingwei would get up or something.
Unexpectedly, although Xu Tingwei was sleeping well, he woke up as soon as my hand touched her shoulder, and he didn't say much to complain.
Well, I'll get off the bus later. I said that, and turned to look at Jiaqian, who had already returned to her seat.
Jia Qian nodded and told me she was ready.
After the driver parked the car and opened the door, the three of us got out of the car with our schoolbags and set foot on this tropical southern land.
Although it was the end of December, when I looked up at the cloudless light blue sky and found that the oncoming wind was not chilling, I even felt that summer was coming back.
After looking at the houses around me that were no more than three floors and the coconut trees standing next to the second road, I silently felt that if I hadn't been the one I had on my mind now, I would have been excited by the unimaginable scene beside the train station.
Wow, I really didn't expect there would be a convenience store here! Xu Tingwei, who had already woken up, said something rudely.
Have you never been to Pingtung before? Jiaqian asked
I only went to Kenting during my graduation trip. Do you think there is a place to sell clothes nearby? I really want to change my uniform?
There must be some, but it's still so early, they probably haven't opened yet
What we said is right? Then let’s go and eat first! Is there anything delicious nearby?
Well, let me check it out
Wait? Wait a minute! I interrupted them, the happier they were chatting
Now I should have a car to go to Wanjin, right? Let's go there quickly, okay? Since I never thought Xu Tingwei was a good person to get along with, I actually struggled for a long time before I said it.
In addition to feeling that my opinions are likely to be ignored, I was even a little afraid of making her angry
But I still have to say what I should say, so I made the mental preparation that I might have to part ways with them here and said it out.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what I said, Xu Tingwei seemed to remember something important and said: Yes, I almost forgot that you were coming to find your sister!
??Ah? I don't really believe what my ears hear
So let's take a ride over quickly!
Eh!?
What are you surprised?
At once??
OK OK OK Let's buy something casually and take it to the car to eat! Jiaqian hurriedly came to smooth things over
In this way, we bought some egg cakes and milk tea in the small shop next to the passenger station for breakfast, and then we were about to take the bus in the city.
However, after studying the timetable on the wall, I found something bad, that is, it took almost an hour and a half to reach Wanjin.
The bus is very slow, should I change to a taxi? Xu Tingwei next to me asked
Although Xu Tingwei's proposal can be said to be the best solution, I still said: Taking a taxi is too expensive, and neither Zhewei nor I have that much money on it.
I'll pay the money Ah! Xu Tingwei added: Anyway, if I came by myself, I would definitely take a taxi
Then? Why are you embarrassed?
Just say that you two are just taking my free ride, don't feel embarrassed?? What? Do you have no objection? Xu Tingwei turned around and asked Jiaqian
Miss, what do you say? How dare you have any objections? Jiaqian is so respectful that she just didn't bow to salute Xu Tingwei
Are you really exaggerated? Although Xu Tingwei said this on his mouth, he didn't look dissatisfied. Maybe they usually sing like this.
So we carried our breakfast back to the train station
Although it was still early, several taxis were waiting in the passenger area
Maybe because we looked like tourists, a few taxi drivers came over to greet us immediately
However, because we believed in our own eyes, we smiled politely to them and chose a newer car that looked more gentle.
After negotiating the price with the driver (mainly it was Jiaqian, but Xu Tingwei made a "too expensive" from time to time, and the naughty trick of "I didn't spend so much money last time" seemed to have played a big role), we got on the bus and started our journey to Wanjin
By the way, in terms of seat arrangement, Jiaqian is in the passenger seat. Xu Tingwei and I are sitting in the back seat. Of course, I have not considered letting Jiaqian and Xu Tingwei sit together, but since the job of chatting with the driver is like a boy, Jiaqian, who looks like a boy, is more suitable for this decision.
After the car started, I first looked at the street view outside the window and found that the first impression that the near Pingtung Railway Station, which seemed not very lively, was actually just an illusion.
Looking around, although the houses on both sides of the street are not very high, there are many stores opened. Even if they are not open yet because they are still early, they will not feel deserted.
Xiao Ling, look! There is even FIFTYPERCENT here! Xu Tingwei excitedly pointed at a clothing store outside the car
Wow, it's really! I tried to pretend to be surprised to avoid Xu Tingwei's fun
But I think the texture of their clothes is actually pretty good, so I can't say that I love them very much
Then you are so excited, I tried hard to suppress my urge to complain
Xu Tingwei continued to say happily: But Pingtung is far more lively than I thought! If you set out early in the morning, you can arrive at around noon, right? Then have a meal at the train station, eat after you have enough, and then go there for thousands of dollars. After a sway, you can see the church light show at night. This plan feels super perfect!
Well, I'm a little at a loss for Ah??
After all, although Xu Tingwei originally said that she was very interested in Wan Jin and said that she wanted to come with us, wasn’t she already here with her boyfriend Jiaqian?
Do she plan to come with Jiaqian again in the future?
While I was confused, the taxi driver started chatting with Jiaqian in Taiwanese in Chinese
Since I am not very good at Taiwanese, I can say that the driver and Jiaqian and the others had a conversation. I just vaguely felt that they should be discussing what delicious food and fun places are here in Pingtung.
Although I was not completely curious about the content of their conversation, when I thought that I should focus more on thinking about how to find Sister Shuzi, I didn’t try to think about what they said from a few words I could understand. Of course, I would not spend more time interpreting what Xu Tingwei just said.
After that, while eating breakfast, I planned how to find Sister Shuzi in an unfamiliar place later.
For this reason, I tried to use my mobile phone to collect information about Wanjin. In addition to the local accommodation information that I must know, I also looked at the introduction of the Hall of Wanjin. I learned that the oldest church in Taiwan was built by a Spanish priest during the Qing Dynasty. It was named the Hall of the Virgin by the Pope in 1984.
In addition, before the Pingtung County Government held the Thousand-Gold Christmas Season in 2011 for the sake of sightseeing, there was an event called the Parade of the Virgin in early December.
Judging from the introduction of the text, it seems like the Mazu circumference held in the middle of around March. It was carried by the church members in the holy sedan chair with the statue of the Virgin Mary and surrounded by believers to circumnavigate locally.
As I looked at it, I felt that in addition to the novel light sculpture performance, the Hall of the Holy Mother of the Ten Thousand Golden is an interesting tourist attraction because it carries a lot of history and culture.
However, due to my physique that is prone to motion sickness, I quickly had to take a break because I was a little dizzy.
In order to relieve the dizziness, I looked out the car window again, and then I found that the houses on both sides of the road had become shorter and there were a lot of iron houses. Betel nut trees were occasionally there were wastelands where weeds could grow at will, or a whole betel nut tree.
Have we left the city?
So it will be a thousand gold soon?
Looking at this situation, I couldn't help but think like this
However, when I tried to continue thinking about finding Sister Shuzi, I didn't know if I was a little sleepy because I had just had a full meal, or I was really sick. I gradually couldn't organize my thoughts in a organized manner, but could only let one thought after another that had no logic to each other constantly pop up in my heart.
I first thought about what dishes I prepared when I had lunch with my senior on the top floor of the school building, and then suddenly recalled the plot of the movie I went to watch with my senior before.
But as I was thinking about the particularly touching scenes in the movie, my thoughts jumped to something else
I thought about the colors of the scarf I had recently worn, and then I started to think about the fact that when my senior sister kissed me farewell recently, did she kiss my cheek or my forehead more often? Finally, I even remembered the past when I was with my senior sister in China.
What are you thinking about? Xu Tingwei, who didn't know when he leaned over, asked
Uh, no??
Missing your sister?
Right? Yes? Since Xu Tingwei must have forgotten my relationship with my senior sister, I didn't know how to explain it, so I had to lie
Then you have a really good relationship with your sister. You just looked like the person you like.
?? I touched my cheek unconsciously, wanting to know how my facial muscles work to reveal such information
Well, don’t take my words to heart, I just said it casually. Xu Tingwei seemed to have misunderstood my silence, but the next second, she muttered again: But no matter how you looked at the thoughtful expression, it was all about Zhang’s lover’s face!
Haha I laughed a few times. You? Are you thinking too much?
Yes?? After pausing, Xu Tingwei asked again: Hey, why did your sister suddenly run to Wanjin Ah?
Uh?? After hesitating for a second, because I didn’t think that Sister Shuzi’s reputation was something worth protecting, I decided to tell the truth: To be honest, I don’t know much, after all, she suddenly disappeared without saying anything. I just happened to see it on TV that it seemed to be hers, but Ah. I think she should have gone because of a man??
Oh? Xu Tingwei's eyes immediately lit up. Man? Boyfriend?
If it was a boyfriend, it would be great? After a pause, I said: My sister, Ah, is a hopeless uncle. As long as the other party is an uncle, she can easily make her seasick and messy. Maybe they are not familiar with each other at all. My sister was just abducted because she was too obsessed with the other party.
This way, Xu Tingwei's mouth twitched a few times, and there was a look of disbelief on his face. He seemed to start to feel like a fool like Sister Shuzi, so he might as well just leave it alone and ignore it.
In order to avoid Xu Tingwei starting to feel that it doesn’t matter if she releases Sister Shu, I quickly said: Actually, my sister is not that bad, she still has some advantages?
Like?
Just?? I frowned and seriously recalled every bit of what I had been with Sister Shuzi these days
But I didn't want it to be fine. When I thought about it, I found that Sister Shuzi who came to my mind looked lazy, bad and useless, and I couldn't find any place worthy of praise at all.
Finally, I had to ask Jiaqian for help
Zhewei! My sister should have what advantages, right?
What about this?? Jia Qian also looked embarrassed. It seemed that no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't tell me. So
But I don’t know if it’s lucky or unfortunate, Xu Tingwei became interested in other things. She asked curiously: Oh? Xie Zhewei, you are also familiar with Xiao Ling’s sister?
Just say we are childhood sweethearts! So I know Xiaoling's family Ah. Jiaqian said calmly and didn't know if it could be considered a lie
So Xiao Ling, you and Zhewei's family are also very familiar with each other? Xu Tingwei turned his finger at me.
Are you quite familiar?? I answered without hesitation, after all, they are actually my parents
No wonder you would go to Xie Zhewei's house after an accident. Xu Tingwei said suddenly as if he had realized it, and then asked: Then how old have you met Ah since you were?
Just?? Jiaqian and I looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, Jiaqian said: It should have started in elementary school. Although we are in the third and fourth grades of class, we live close to each other, so we became familiar with the same path as going to and from school in the first grade.
Wow! You are really childhood sweethearts since childhood! For some reason, Xu Tingwei strengthened his tone in some subtle places
Then, she turned her head to me and asked: Hey, Xiao Ling, is Xie Zhewei like this in the past?
Uh?? I don't know how to answer. After all, I don't know what Xu Tingwei views Jiaqian, so naturally, this is what she said now. There is no concept of it.
Maybe I discovered my confusion, Xu Tingwei added: Although I like to be clever and bluff, I am also gentle and considerate.
She has indeed had good grades since before, and she is very good at taking care of others. I looked at Jiaqian secretly and realized that she didn't know if she looked embarrassed because of her shyness.
Ah, right, and he is also very masculine!
Jia?? I almost blurted out that Jiaqian had been regarded as a man since she was a child, but as soon as I realized that this was not what I should have said to Xu Tingwei (and it would definitely make Jiaqian angry if I talked about it), I could only implicitly echo: Yes, right??
Um?? Xu Tingwei narrowed his eyes, as if my answer had made her think of something
But when I couldn't stand the silence that followed, the car began to slow down slowly and stopped soon after
I looked out the window and found that the white-backed double-tower church was already reachable by walking alone
It's in place. The driver said this in Mandarin with a Taiwanese accent, which declares that our journey has entered the next stage.
Wanjin Village where the Virgin Hall is located is a small village in Wanluan Township with a population of only more than 2,000. Except for the settlements around the church, most of them are farmland or forest land.
However, although land use is mainly for agricultural use, perhaps because of the focus on the development of tourism industry in recent years, looking around, there are many houses on the first floor for stores, and there are many stalls covered with tarps beside the road. It seems that there should be many food vendors here later, which will make this place very lively like a night market.
So how do we start looking for it? Jiaqian asked
What about this?? After a pause, I said: First of all, I think we have to confirm whether Sister Shuzi is really here. After all, although someone who can dress that kind of virtue should not have anyone else in Taiwan, it is not impossible that I have read it wrong.
It makes sense, Jiaqian nodded
So I want to walk around here first. When I meet someone, I ask if I have seen a crazy woman wearing strange clothes coming here.
After confirming that she was really here, we were going to the nearby accommodation to see if Sister Shu was still there, right? Then I'll look for what travel there are here.
There are three places to live. Because I have searched for relevant information, I directly interrupted Jiaqian.
The first is the Hall of the Holy Mother of the Golden. The Catholic Center provides beds to stay overnight, but I don’t think Sister Shuzi would stay there no matter how much I do. After all, the only advantage there should be that it is that it is relatively cheap.
It wouldn't be impossible if other places are full of customers?
What I said is??Ah, and the other two places are homestays, which are about ten minutes and half an hour away from here.
Then let’s first inquire about your sister’s whereabouts on the shopping street. Jiaqian said this first, then turned to Xu Tingwei and said: As for you? Let’s go and have a walk by yourself?
??Ah? I looked at them with an uneasy look on my face. In addition to not understanding how Jiaqian said such words to Xu Tingwei, who is a lover, I was also worried that her behavior of neglecting Xu Tingwei would cause a bloody storm.
To my surprise, Xu Tingwei said indifferently: "Ah, but the store here seems to have not opened yet. I think I'd better go to the church first to see it. You're leaving before calling me."
OK, bye~ Jiaqian waved her hand happily to Xu Tingwei.
After watching Xu Tingwei walk away, I couldn't help asking: Isn't that okay?
Ah? Jiaqian was stunned for a moment, but immediately came over and said: Ah, are you talking about what I asked Xu Tingwei to go and have fun by myself?
Um??
There will be no problem. After all, she is going to visit Ah???, so how about it? Do you want her to help?
How dare I Ah!
I think so? After a pause, Jiaqian said again: And Ah, actually her mouth is just a bit broken. To be honest, she is not bad, even if she looks angry, she is just acting.
Yes?? I looked at Jiaqian suspiciously and wanted to ask if this guy was so overwhelmed by love that Xu Tingwei, who was obviously the end of the princess' illness, seemed to be very understanding. But when I recalled the various things that I got along with her in the past, I felt that what Jiaqian said was not completely unreasonable.
Due to the tight time, I think we should come and find it separately! Jiaqian compared the road in front of her with her hands and said: Just look there, I will ask along this road?
Well, that's it. I nodded and agreed to Jiaqian's proposal
After parting with Jiaqian, although I knew that I should grasp every minute and every second, I was still standing alone at the intersection for a while and didn't take a step for a long time.
I narrowed my eyes and tried to see the end of the road. Then I found that although it would wind all the way to the point where it was out of sight, the second half of it felt like it was woods, farmland, etc. It seemed that the only place that could let me find out the news should be in front of me. I don’t know if there are ten shops and pedestrians on the road.
Well, so should I start asking from the stall selling fairy grass here? Wait, it hasn't started selling Ah yet! The vendors here think that they only come out to set up stalls at night. Now it's best to find someone! I'm talking to myself
Ah, there is a laundry over there, it can't be opened yet, right?? No, Ah! Sister Shuzi is unlikely to take clothes here to wash, and said, even if she asks, it should be useless!
I continued to recite: But even if I found a store that I could ask, how would I open my mouth better? I asked them if I saw a woman in a kimono here last night? But even if they said yes, can I be 100% sure that the person is Sister Shuzi? Will there be other crazy people dress like that? Should I think about what other characteristics Sister Shuzi have? But that guy has anything else that can be said to besides being lazy and worse than others, and is worse than anyone else's heart?
Little sister, don't you need help? A Chinese Taiwanese voice came from behind
Oh! I was startled, and when I turned my head, I realized that the person who was speaking was a dark-skinned and gray-haired under the flower shirt. I looked like I was a local man.
You can't find the way?
No, me??
Or have you separated from your friends?
No, just? After stuttering for a while, I said: I'm looking for someone?
Looking for someone?
Me? I was looking for my sister. Although I didn't plan to say so much to strangers, I felt that I couldn't explain the matter clearly if I didn't start from scratch. I still said: This is the thing. My sister disappeared. Then I suddenly learned that she might have been here yesterday, so I came over to ask if anyone had seen her?
After a pause, Oujisan said: It’s just that it’s fun to have a night out! It should be easy to have an impression of someone among so many tourists.
That's right??
But you can still tell me what your sister looks like. Maybe I won’t remember it.
OK? OK! After taking a breath, I started talking about Sister Shuzi’s appearance: My sister is actually quite beautiful!
Ah?? Oujisang's face turned dark. What's the beautiful way to do it?
It should be considered a classical beauty? Yes, although they are sisters, my sister actually doesn't look like me at all! She is about one head taller than me, and she is almost thirty years old? But my sister is actually well maintained. No one would doubt it if she is a OL who has just left the society!
Oh?? Oujisan scratched his head, but it seemed that he could not think of the relevant person from my description
Woo?? Seeing that I said so much but it was useless, I was so anxious that I was about to cry
That’s right! My sister is so white because she stays at home and doesn’t go out!
Well??
And my sister didn’t dye her hair, but she just tied her long black hair on her head!
oh??
Then my sister didn't apply nail polish or anything because she was lazy!
Um??
Ah Yes! My sister actually has a very good figure, but she can’t tell her because she’s wearing kimono!
kimono?
And my sister also has a super charming beauty mole on her face???Wait?Wait, have you seen someone wearing a kimono? I was halfway through my words and found that Ojisang seemed to have his eyes lit up because of the keywords I mentioned!
Why did I completely forget to start talking about Ah from Sister Shuzi’s most eye-catching dress!
Wu Ah Oujisan said: Yesterday, someone in a kimono came here and saw me!
True or fake! Although I was so excited that I was so excited, I continued to ask: Have you ever spoken to her? Although my sister is a foreigner, she actually speaks Chinese quite well!
Yes! Oujisan nodded
But although she has no accent, she speaks a bit strange. When talking about herself, she uses it? Uh, I'm Xiami?
Yes, yes! My sister must have used strange textbooks to learn Chinese, so she calls herself by herself! The person you are talking about must be my sister! Thank you very much! After getting information about Sister Shuzi, I did come here, so I thanked her and prepared to contact Jiaqian
Well, wait! Oujisan called me and turned around and was about to leave
Which Ah are you trying to go to?
Just? I came to find my sister with my friend, and I want to meet her? I was a little uneasy. I was afraid that I would make Oujisang angry because of impoliteness, but he seemed to be just confused where I was going in such a hurry
Then what?
Me? I have checked where the hotel is here, and I will then go to see if my sister is inside?
But even if your sister has been here, it doesn’t mean she will spend the night here!
That's right, but I have no other clues?
You are selling your worries! Oujisang said: Actually, your sister really doesn’t live here!
Eh?
When I met her, I was already late and there was no bus to take. And I happened to hear them saying they wanted to live there? Well, I want to see where they were going to live?
It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter if you think about it slowly! I can wait as long as I want! I was so happy because of the progress of this journey of finding people.
Master, she has indeed been here? After asking for news about Yoshikawa Shuko from an aunt who sold noodles, Li Jiaqian said to herself.
Perhaps it was because the dress was too eye-catching. During Li Jiaqian's interview with residents and hawkers, almost everyone said that they saw a woman wearing a kimono last night.
As more and more rumors were heard, the image of Yoshikawa Shuko walking around this street gradually became clear and specific.
Yes, I didn't lie to you, because this is the first time I saw someone wearing that kind of thing so I remember it very clearly
Just a lady in her twenties, right?
She said this when she came to our store yesterday, the drinks sold by her uncle.
That slender girl in Japanese clothes presses beautiful Ah, the old lady sitting at the door of her house said this
Although he doesn't know much about Hakka dialect, Li Jiaqian vaguely thinks that this should be a compliment to Yoshikawa Shuko's beautiful appearance.
People wearing kimono?
There is Ah, she is with a foreigner!
What?
You ask who is the age of that foreigner?
It's probably 4 or 50 years old that the local young man was about to ride a motorcycle said this
Oh oh oh oh!
I know I know that the Japanese speaks Chinese very well, but although she seems to be afraid that A Douzai, who is traveling with her, doesn't understand Chinese, and she takes the map we bought here and tries to explain it to him, but she just takes the map backward. The clerk of the convenience store said this.
Wearing a kimono, walking with an uncle, and being rash, it should be difficult for a person who can combine these characteristics to find a second one in this world, right?? While muttering to himself, Li Jiaqian took out his cell phone and was about to contact Xiao Ling
But before doing this, her cell phone rang first and was called by Xu Tingwei
Hello? Li Jiaqian answered the phone
Are you with Xiao Ling now? Xu Tingwei on the other end of the phone asked this
No, we are asking about his sister separately
Is there any result?
Almost certain his sister has been here
Then where are you now?
Uh?? Li Jiaqian looked around
I'm in front of a small shop selling almond tea
If you say this, I'd better know where it is!
?? No matter what I say, you can't know where I am now if you are not familiar with the place. Li Jiaqian complained silently in her heart
Forget it, then come and find me, I'm at the door of the Virgin Palace
Well??
I'll come here if I'll call you here, hurry up!
Yes Yes! Although I was planning to meet Xiao Ling, maybe I had developed the habit of unconditional compliance with Xu Tingwei's orders, so Li Jiaqian still agreed.
When Li Jiaqian walked past the gate composed of two white stone pillars and passed through two rows of trees with lights, she came to the door of the Temple of the Virgin, which blended the east and west architectural styles, and met with Xu Tingwei who was waiting there.
Along the way, Li Jiaqian saw a lot of decorations made for Christmas
The big Christmas tree, the sculptures of reindeer dragging sleds, and the Christmas reds everywhere make the place full of joyful festive atmosphere
It's quite amazing. This church. Looking at this double-tower church with white exterior walls, the big golden characters on the wall and the towering cross, Li Jiaqian felt a sense of sacredness and began to imagine how beautiful it would be when it was turned on.
That's great, I will seriously consider finding Lin Mingfeng to come. Xu Tingwei changed the subject and then said: But before this, let's talk about other things first!
What to talk about?
Like your favorite Xiaoling Ah!
Uh?? Li Jiaqian is a little embarrassed
What to do? I think she doesn't seem to be of any interest to you?
Although he had a long understanding of this matter, Li Jiaqian still couldn't accept it when she was told so directly, so she asked: Why do you think so?
I have observed a lot of places! Xu Tingwei said: When we first met, we saw her care about me so much. I also thought that you should have a good chance, but slowly I realized that it was not so much that she was stupid because she felt that her childhood sweetheart was stolen, but it was because she didn't expect you to have a girlfriend as good as me.
You won’t be shy even if you praise yourself like this?
There is no way, facts are facts
?? Li Jiaqian glared at Xu Tingwei silently for a while before asking again: And why does Xiaoling think you are my girlfriend? Didn’t I say that?
I didn't say Ah! But I deliberately asked her to associate in this direction. Xu Tingwei smiled naughtyly.
When I went shopping for midnight snacks together, I said something that would make her misunderstand, judging from her subsequent reaction, she seemed to really believe it.
This?? Li Jiaqian recalled it and realized that Xiao Ling's attitude just now was indeed a bit subtle
Why are you doing this for nothing? Xiao Ling is already very troubled just by thinking about her sister. Don’t add to her troubles!
Hey, I'm kind enough to help you! Xu Tingwei said a little angry
And this will make her diffuse and relax, which should be quite good, right?
Is it better??
Otherwise, you will tell Xiao Ling that you and I are just ordinary friends, and then confess your love by the way?
Just say that you shouldn't bother Xiao Ling with such a thing now??
Don’t you think that it’s because Xiao Ling is now frustrated and fragile and needs someone else’s care, so you should become a force to support her?
Although Xu Tingwei's words sounded very reasonable at first glance, she looked like she was just to watch the show, so Li Jiaqian couldn't agree with her proposal.
She said: Oh, instead of doing this, it’s better to help him find his sister as soon as possible?
As long as you like, you're happy. Xu Tingwei shrugged
So what are you going to do now?
I've already asked about his sister, so I'll go and meet Xiao Ling first, and then go to a nearby hotel together to check it out.
Yes??Ah, did Xiao Ling say that the Virgin Palace is also able to survive, or should we just go and ask?
Good Ah Li Jiaqian was halfway through her words, and she felt the phone in her pocket vibrating
Oh, it must be Xiao Ling who called??
Then hurry up and pick it up Ah Xu Tingwei said urgingly
Yes Yes Yes?? Li Jiaqian took out her cell phone
Not long ago, after thinking for a while, the kind-hearted Oujisan asked me to tell me which hotels are nearby to see if they can awaken his memory.
But when I was about to take out my phone to see the information I just found, he said that it is not convenient to stand and talk like this, so it is better to find a place to sit down.
So I was taken to a nearby small shop selling sweet soup. Oujisan also invited me to a bowl of hot red bean soup.
Originally, I was a little worried about whether I would be sorry for Jiaqian who was traveling around like this, but fortunately, Oujisang really remembered which hotel was the one that Sister Shuzi and the others were going to stay in.
As soon as I got such valuable information, I quickly called Jiaqian to tell her the good news and walked outside the store to wait to meet her (the kind-hearted Oujisang left after eating his portion)
I looked at the time and found that it was only 8 o'clock now
When I think that the hotel usually takes 10 o'clock and check out at 11 o'clock, and Sister Shuzi doesn't look like someone who will get up early to go on a trip, I think the chance that we can block her later should be too big.
Very good, as long as you can find Sister Shuzi, everything will be over! I said to myself: Although I always bully and enslave me, Sister Shuzi should not help me at this time, right? As long as I explain the current situation to her, she will definitely go back to Taipei with me immediately? Well, okay, if she still can't bear to separate from the uncle who kidnapped her to Pingtung, then it's okay to wait for her?
After Sister Shuzi unraveled the magic, everyone should think of me? I can go home, go back to school, go back to the past with Chenghan, Yizhen, everyone in the class? And the happy time I spent with my senior sister? When I think of my senior sister, I feel my heart tugging.
I suddenly remembered the little things of the past, the bitterness and pain of being forgotten by her, and then I looked forward to how she would help me celebrate her birthday in the cafe where she worked. As these scenes with different emotions flashed through my mind one by one, I wanted to cry and laugh, and I had no idea what expressions should be on my face.
But it’s really good that Jiaqian didn’t forget me. If she was missing her, I really don’t know if I could last until now? When I was thinking about my reliable childhood sweetheart, I happened to see her and Xu Tingwei walking towards me?
Uh, wait, why did she walk with Xu Tingwei?
And why did they come from the Virgin Palace?
Xu Tingwei did say that she was going to visit the Virgin Palace!
But isn’t Jiaqian asking me about Sister Shuzi’s news?
Although I knew I had no position to blame Jiaqian (after all, she had done enough for me), when I waved to let them know that I was here, I think the smile on my face must be stiff and unnatural because of the full doubts in my heart.
After taking a few deep breaths and trying to calm my emotions, I said to her who came over: Hey, Zhe? Zhewei, let's go to the hotel where my sister stays!
Let’s go! Jiaqian asked: Then which Ah do they live in?
Just? Just a family called? Uh, what kind of family? It takes about 40 minutes to walk from here.
It's so far Ah? But it's quite troublesome to call a taxi here, and there shouldn't be buses or something. Jia Qian murmured like this first, and then asked: Do you know how to leave?
The kind-hearted Oujisang just now probably told me, and then I also confirmed it with my mobile phone. I said: Let's take a short walk to Wanhe Road, walk to the end and turn left, then walk through a military camp and turn right, and then walk straight for a while and then arrive.
OK! Then let’s go! Jiaqian announced happily, then turned to ask Xu Tingwei beside her and said: Then do you want to stay here? Or go there with us?
Let's go together. Xu Tingwei said: Anyway, what you should watch is almost done.
After I set off, I was afraid that Xu Tingwei would be unhappy because he had to walk for an hour, but after secretly observing her reaction, I found that there was no displeasure on her face, but just thinking about it.
She first stared at Jiaqian's back for a while, and then seemed to turn her head and look at me. I quickly looked forward so that she would not find that I was peeking at her
What is Xu Tingwei doing?
She was really thinking that Jiaqian seemed to be too nice to me?
Could it be that she just ran to Jiaqian to ask for guilt?
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
I can't let Jiaqian's relationship go to ruin because of me, right?
Ah right!
Should I take the initiative to chat with Xu Tingwei so that she can also treat me as a friend?
Then I slowly let her know that I had no intention of Jiaqian, and that I was extremely invincible in supporting their relationship, so she shouldn't treat me as a thorn in her eyes anymore, right?
So what should I talk to her?
First, ask her if she had seen anything interesting in the Temple of the Virgin just now?
Do you want to tell her that the red bean dumplings that Oujisang just invited me to have were so delicious? I suggest that she can go with Jiaqian later?
Or can I talk to her about their band??
While I was unsure of my mind, I secretly looked at Xu Tingwei, and found that she looked at the mountains ahead, staring at the garden surrounded by low walls from time to time. She even took out her cell phone and took photos. She looked like she was sightseeing seriously and could not be disturbed by anyone.
Forget it, anyway, there is still a lot of time, so I will come to find an opportunity to see how to get closer to Xu Tingwei?
I thought this silently, and then I focused on walking the road
As we walked, there were only sugarcane gardens or betel nut forests on both sides of the road without realizing it. The houses and other houses have become one or two buildings for a long time.
Despite this, the end of the road is still far away and unseen, which makes people wonder if we will go to a wilderness.
I took out my cell phone and called out the map
In addition to confirming that we are heading right, we also found that we have not even reached half of our journey yet.
I looked up at the sun hanging in a corner of the sky, and realized that the light it emitted had quietly increased to the point where it would make people sweat. It seemed that the geography textbook did not lie to me. After crossing the Tropic of Cancer, winter was really no different from summer
Should I hold on together? Xu Tingwei, who took out the folding umbrella, asked me at some point
No?No, thank you? Although I have been trying to establish a good relationship with Xu Tingwei just now, when the opportunity suddenly came, I was still frightened and I was not sure
Yes? Xu Tingwei turned around and asked Jiaqian: What about you?
What ah, what ah! I don’t know if I forgot to hide my girlish heart. In fact, Jiaqian, who was afraid of sunburn, immediately jumped happily to Xu Tingwei.
Oh, you are already dark enough, and it’s useless to hold an umbrella! Although Xu Tingwei said that, he still handed the umbrella to Jiaqian’s hands, and then the two of them started chatting under the small umbrella
I pricked up my ears and eavesdropped on me, and found out that they were talking about super literary things like serious novels.
I was surprised at first, thinking that the content of their chats was not as interesting as anything they would have any of them, but then when I thought of their relationship, I felt that this was quite natural.
After all, for couples, it is not important to talk about anything. The key is to be able to have a continuous conversation like this, enjoy the feeling of each other putting time and focusing all their attention on themselves.
As he was talking, Xu Tingwei suddenly turned around and asked me: After finding your sister, Xiao Ling, do you want to do anything?
Uh?? I was stunned for a moment, and then said: You should go back to Taipei quickly??
Ah, do you still have to go back to the landlord to deal with the house, right?
Right? Right??
What a pity Xu Tingwei said: I also want to say that since I have all gone to Pingtung, should I play more and say that I will go to Kenting and other things? Ah! Or should we just go back to Tainan and Chiayi like this?
You?Ah, no, we have to attend classes tomorrow, right?
Just ask for leave! Right? Zhewei Xu Tingwei turned around and asked Jiaqian.
Jia Qian shook her head and said: I think it's time to go back, after all, my wallet is almost empty.
Yes? Although Xu Tingwei seemed to be convinced, he looked depressed
It seems that she really doesn't want her trip with Jiaqian to end, right?
However, although I rationally knew that I should go back to Taipei after finding Sister Shuzi, when I heard Xu Tingwei say this, I still couldn't help but think of the scene of the three of us playing by the beach.
Although I don’t know if I can get into the water now, it would be a very happy thing if I could look at the endless blue sea and bask in the sun leisurely on the beach?
Ah, should I just ask Jiaqian and the others to come back together after the senior sister recovered her memory?
Such a double date will definitely be great!
After passing a yard built by iron, we finally reached the end of Wanhe Road
After that, just turn left and walk through another military camp, maybe you will be able to see the homestay where Sister Shuzi and the others live.
What place is this? Looking at the gray stone wall with snake dragon nets on it next to the road, Xu Tingwei asked this.
It should be Wanjin Camp. I said: Wanjin Camp is now stationed by the 333rd Brigade of the Army Mechanized Infantry? But don’t think of steel bullets when you hear mechanized infantry. It actually refers to soldiers riding in combat chariots and personnel carriers. It seems that because of its remote location and training, there are words such as "Birds in the Tianshan Mountains fly away, and people who are ten thousand golds are destroyed" and "Don’t make a big gold and small gold"
Uh?? Xu Tingwei looked at me dumbfoundedly
How could you know so many messy things? Is it you, Junwu Zui?
Just checked the information and saw it? My face is a little red
Xu Tingwei turned around and asked Jiaqian: Hey, Zhewei, do you want to come here to join the army in the future?
No, Jiaqian refuses immediately
Because I'm afraid of being fucked?
Nonsense, it’s best if someone wants to be abused specifically!
But when you are a soldier, you will be fucked! Why not just be fucked thoroughly!
I don’t want it, and even if I want to be a substitute, it’s better to be a substitute anyway!
Houyou, you can’t be a substitute! Who is a man who has never been a soldier?
I love you so much as Ah!
It's a girl!
What about the promised equality between men and women?
Oh, as long as you are willing to come here to join the army, it is not impossible to ask me to come and see you on the day of the marriage!
What do I want you to do?
Hey, hey, don’t be ungrateful! I will definitely make you feel very proud, okay? Your ladder and other things will definitely treat you differently!
Forehead??
How? Are you moved? Should you just leave school now and join the army?
Don't worry!
?? Looking at them quarrel, I silently found that I had no room for interruption.
Moreover, I don’t know if it’s my illusion. I always feel that when Jiaqian was chatting with Xu Tingwei, her free attitude and relaxed expression were something I had never seen before. It seemed that she was more familiar with Xu Tingwei than me.
Well, now when I think back, how could I dare to teach Jiaqian how to get along with boys?
Her masculine power is simply out of shape!
That's why there is a way to make Xu Tingwei, who is so difficult to get rid of, obedient and sticky?
Wait, because it is actually a girl, Jiaqian can guide Xu Tingwei in a method that boys can't even imagine?
Day Ah!
How can Jiaqian be so powerful?
In this way, when I looked at Jia Qian who was still chatting with Xu Tingwei again, there was a lot of respect and admiration in my eyes.
At the same time, there is a big stone hanging in my heart that can be said to have finally put it down
Before this, I felt more or less guilty about Jiaqian wasting time and energy to dress up as me
But it seems that she is actually quite happy with it, right?
In addition to being a boy with great experience, she even found true love. Maybe I just opened a door in my life for her!
As we walked, we finally walked through the military camp
After turning right according to the sign standing at the intersection, we walked along the trail for about ten minutes before we saw a yellow building standing in the field from afar
Although its blue-bottomed and red-font sign really cannot make people see what it is written on it, because the appearance and location are no different from what the uncle described from me, we still boldly assumed that it should be the destination.
However, although the homestay is already within reach, we have not found a road that we can walk through, and can only look at it from afar through a large field of unknown planting.
Did we turn too early? Xu Tingwei asked me
I don't know when she started, but she didn't continue to chat with Jiaqian
Although she never called her tired, her face couldn't be said to be very beautiful
Probably not? The indicator just now said this path is right! Jiaqian answered for me
But Xiao Ling, do you want to confirm again?
OK! I'll take my phone out to view the map
Well, we probably did not go wrong. I think we just need to walk a little further! It’s really only a little bit! You can see the way to the homestay!
You'd better not make a mistake?? Xu Tingwei's eyes were a little murderous intent, as if she was telling her that she had not much patience left.
Should? Could there be no mistake?
Should? So is there really a possibility of mistake?
When? Of course not! I? I just spoke and spoke a little conservatively. In fact, I am very sure that the path we are taking is absolutely nothing wrong!
That's good? Xu Tingwei narrowed his eyes
I looked at Jiaqian uneasy, and Jiaqian gave me a helpless smile, as if I wanted me not to take Xu Tingwei's intimidation to heart.
ˋNevertheless, my mood was so nervous that I was just so nervous
Fortunately, we really encountered a fork in the road not long after we walked.
In addition to a sign at the intersection, looking at the small path that makes people wonder if the car can walk through, you will find that the end of it should be the homestay.
Seeing that the destination was right in front of us, although the three of us were very tired because we had walked for a long time, our steps became light and brisk.
Walking in the front, I quickly led Jiaqian and Xu Tingwei through the fields.
As I walked, I raised my hand slightly, gently caressed the flowers and plants growing by the passing by, feeling the breeze blowing towards my face, and felt that everything in the world seemed so beautiful and gentle
As the yellow building gets closer and closer to us, I can't help but start to imagine the scene where I meet Sister Shuzi later
According to past experience, even if she wasn't still sleeping, she should have just woken up not long ago.
In addition, although she is sloppy at home, Sister Shuzi usually dresses up whenever she wants to go out, not to mention that she is now out to play with her favorite uncle, so at this moment, the possibility of her taking care of herself in the bathroom should be as high as 80%!
So what should I say first when I meet Sister Shuzi?
I just cried to her and told me if it would be too abrupt if I was bullied by other magicians?
But I shouldn't blame her for running away from home alone without saying anything, right?
After all, she would not want to leave a bad impression on the uncle. I still have to save some face for her.
Then how should I speak?
Although I never like to think about problems, along the way, although my little head is constantly running, my face is always smiling
Even after walking through the courtyard of the B&B and pushing open their door, I was still immersed in my own small world
So when I stood behind the counter, the person who was supposed to be the boss's wife got up and wanted to greet us, I was still stunned and couldn't speak.
Sorry, we are not here to stay, we are here to find someone. Jiaqian stammered and said it out.
Looking for someone? Maybe it was the first time I met someone with such a need, and the boss lady looked confused
My friend and her sister heard that they came to live with you yesterday. We wanted to see her, but I wonder if she is still here?
What about this?? The boss's wife hesitated for a while, wondering if she was considering customer privacy issues.
After looking at the three of us for a while, she said again: The guests who came here yesterday have not left yet, so there should be no problem to go find them.
Great! Thank you very much!
Then can you tell me who is the person you are looking for?
She is a Japanese, named Suzuko Yoshikawa, and the one who walks with him is also a foreigner?? Jiaqian speaks more and more quietly, because even I noticed that the boss's wife seemed to be embarrassed because of her words.
Uh??Is there no such person ever?
No, no, there was such a man and woman who came yesterday, but??
But? Jiaqian and I asked in one voice
When they came, we had no empty rooms, so in the end they didn't live here.
What? I was hit hard, my legs were even weak
this?
What's going on?
Something must have been wrong?
We all worked so hard to get through it!
But Sister Shuzi is not here?
So what should I do now?
Are you going to find it again?
The boss lady said again: But I just helped them find a hotel with free rooms. If you need it, I will ask you if they are still there?
Jiaqian glanced at me, but found that I might have replied to me because I hadn't replied from the bolt from the blue.
Afterwards, the proprietress picked up the microphone and dialed the phone to come and ask for us.
I looked at her uneasyly, then turned to look at Jiaqian, but she didn't notice my gaze because she was also focused on looking at the boss's wife.
But when I lowered my head uneasy, Xu Tingwei quietly held my hand, as if he wanted to give me some care.
I looked at her gratefully, then closed my eyes and begged at all the gods I could name, hoping that they could give me good luck so that I could really find Sister Shuzi this time
In the past two days, I actually feel very lucky
After all, Sister Shuzi will be interviewed by reporters, and I happened to see this news, which is really a coincidence.
And after really coming to Pingtung, in addition to being able to get her news smoothly, I even asked about where she lives. This can only be said to be very lucky.
But when I was only one step away from finding her, was I abandoned by the gods like this?
Isn't this too cruel?
And once all the previous luck is useless, isn’t this simply turning hope into despair?
That strong sense of gap is really unacceptable no matter how it is
Don't Ah, this time I must let Sister Shuzi stay in the hotel obediently, okay? Please??
I prayed over and over again
Sorry, but unfortunately, the boss lady finally said: Although they really lived there, they happened to leave not long ago, so there was no time to leave anything.
Woo?? I feel like I'm about to lose the strength to stand well
Afterwards, the owner of the homestay called a taxi for us, so that we, who had completely lost the clue, could return to Pingtung Railway Station.
Since the journey ended with nothing, our mood was naturally very heavy
We were not in the mood or strength to visit, so we bought a bento and went to the waiting room to sit on a hard chair waiting for the car (Xu Tingwei said he wanted to pick up a souvenir and made an appointment to meet us later)
Don't worry, we will definitely find the master's later. Jiaqian said to me like this while eating
Yes, I nodded
Anyway, I saw her on TV for no reason. God knows if that fool will be interviewed by reporters again immediately.
Hearing me say this, Jiaqian immediately said with great enthusiasm: Ah and Ah, you see, as long as the master has been to this time, don’t everyone have a very impression of her? So it shouldn’t be difficult to get her news, right?
So next time I can find Sister Shuzi. I will definitely squeeze out a smile and try to speak out with the most powerful voice.
But I don't know if this is being said to Jiaqian or to myself.
At the same time, a Juguang ship that had just left Fangliao Station was slowly accelerating, and was about to carry passengers above along the South Return Railway, from the west coast of Taiwan to the east coast.
In the middle of the car, there is a pair of passengers who can easily be seen from their outfits and appearance sitting side by side with foreigners sitting side by side
Dear? Dear?? Just saying these words made Yoshikawa Shuko's cheeks red and she wanted to jump into the sea that should be not far away
What's wrong? The foreign uncle asked with a smile, tolerating Yoshikawa Shuko's loss of attitude with a mature and steady attitude
His slightly narrowed eyes made the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes more obvious, but the traces of the years made Yoshikawa Shuko so excited that she was almost breathless.
Just? Just? Just? Just?? In order to make the conversation between the two go on, Yoshikawa Shuko took a deep breath so that her emotions could calm down.
When you are in the morning, I am still lying on the bed, don’t you say that you want to walk on the streets of ten thousand gold by yourself? Have you seen anything interesting?
There is Ah The foreign uncle's smile on his face is deeper
I met a lost cute kitten
Cute? Yoshikawa Shuko, who completely grasped the wrong point, mistakenly thought that a rival appeared and shook in shock
The uncle smiled and said: It's very cute, but no matter how cute it is, it's not as good as Shuzi, you Ah~
Hearing the uncle say this, Yoshikawa Shuko first fanned the wind on her red face with one hand, and her other hand quickly pulled the collar of the kimono without considering her image. It seemed that she would get burned if she didn't get a breath quickly.
But after working hard for a while, she found that her whole body was still hot as if she had a fever, so she had to stand up and say: No? No! My belly? My stomach suddenly felt so uncomfortable! It’s really impossible not to go to the toilet!
Yes? The uncle still smiled brightly
Then go quickly, I'll take care of my luggage
Thank you? Thank you! As soon as he finished speaking, Yoshikawa Shuko rushed out of the carriage as fast as possible
After watching Yoshikawa Shuko disappear with the closing of the car door, the foreign uncle put away his smile and exhale as if he was about to exhale all the air in his lungs.
After changing his breath, the foreign uncle in the position just now disappeared, replaced by a man with black hair and black eyes, nationality cannot be seen, and age is difficult to judge from his appearance.
Alas, I really hope that the kitten can end up with a happy ending. Ah?? The black-haired man, the culprit of everything, Raymond Clarkhawk, the servant of Ala Mesmer, first muttered to himself like this, then closed his eyes, as if he wanted to take a good rest during the period when Yoshikawa Shuko was away. Since the other party probably jumped into the Taiwan Strait to calm down, this leisure time that was idle and completely relaxed should be able to last for a long time.
