The three of them looked at each other. Cao An pointed to the last room against the wall and said, "Xiao Hai, stay over there." He walked in first, looked inside, and pushed the cot against the wall, taking out a mattress. "The bed here isn't clean. Sleep on it. I'll come back to clean it up tomorrow morning."
Xiao Hai said gratefully: "Thank you, my brother Cao, it is still my brother Cao who cares about me!" He went in and looked at the small room. The three people inside could only turn around with difficulty. "The room here is so small!"
"There is little land and many people, so we have to build high-rise buildings." Qi Siling leaned against the door frame and summarized the current situation here in one sentence.
"Fortunately, there's an indoor restroom." Xiao Hai glanced at the bathroom at the door. "Is this thing called a toilet?"
Qi Siling took a look and said, "Don't sit there, be careful of getting sick." He had read about it in books. Hong Kong was very chaotic at that time, with opium smokers everywhere. After having promiscuous relationships, people were prone to getting sick, and those were infectious diseases.
Cao An took out the things Xiao Hai needed and prepared a disposable toilet cover for him. Xia Youyou prepared these for them, saying that they would inevitably go to the toilet when living outside. This thing would save them from having to use the dry toilet and would also provide a rare solution to the problem of going to the toilet in this hostel full of germs.
After settling Xiao Hai down, Cao An and Qi Siling returned to their rooms.
Fortunately, there is space. Putting a mattress in this narrow room makes it more comfortable.
Cao An also found a pair of earplugs, lay down on the soft mattress, and fell asleep comfortably.
Qi Siling, on the other hand, had a harder time falling asleep. Lying in bed, his mind was filled with thoughts of the little girl. He wondered if she was asleep now? What had she done today? Had she stayed home with her mother during the seven-day holiday?
He found a piece of her clothing from the space, held it in his arms and smelled it.
I was just about to fall asleep with my eyes closed when I heard a noise in the next room.
Well, he was sadly pushed to the side room by Cao An, while Cao An entered the middle room!
I resigned myself to my fate and took out my earplugs, and the world finally became quiet.
He buried his face in the apple-scented clothes again and closed his eyes in ecstasy.
Have a good night's sleep.
However, this was just what the three of them thought. In fact, in the middle of the night, just as Qi Siling had expected, the proprietress was restless. She brought people over and knocked on the door for a long time, but they didn't respond.
In the end, he could only leave angrily.
Cao An was the first to wake up. He cleaned himself up and then opened the door.
I knocked on Xiao Hai's door but there was no response, so I knew he was still asleep. I knocked on Qi Siling's door again, but was met with the same silence.
He reluctantly returned to his room and waited for them to wake up naturally. He had no choice but to wear earplugs to sleep last night, and he thought they were the same. Moreover, Qi Siling was close to him, so he must have used even less earplugs.
I guess both of them were wearing earplugs, so they couldn't be woken up at this moment.
When I returned to the room, it was already half an hour later when they woke up.
Cao An was lifting stones in the room when he heard the door opening outside. He then put the things into the space and opened the door to go out.
He leaned against the door frame leisurely, glancing back and forth at the two men's faces with a teasing look.
"Did you get enough sleep?"
Qi Si Ling had a blank expression on his face. It was just that he overslept. What was so strange about that? He had dreamed of that little girl last night. She was so soft and sweet that he didn't want to wake up.
Xiao Hai was not so shameless and scratched his head with a hot face.
Cao An pushed aside the two people blocking the door, went to Xiao Hai's room, and put away all his things.
After a little dressing up, she put on the eyelid patches Xia Youyou gave her and said, "Let's go out and take a look."
The three of them went downstairs and when they reached the second floor, they didn't see the same Ah Juan from last night. They thought she worked at night and rested during the day.
Hong Kong during the day is completely different from that at night.
When I arrived last night, the city was full of colorful neon lights, but during the day it seemed a bit desolate. There were only a few people on the streets.
It’s not that there is no one here. It may be that they got up too early and the people here are probably still sleeping.
They remembered the location of the guesthouse and walked towards the bustling area.
Along the way, Qi Siling bought a lot of local snacks for Xia Youyou.
The three of them shopped as they went along, and their purchasing power was not much different from that of women.
Just as the group was enjoying their stroll, Qi Siling, who had fallen behind, felt someone following them. He glanced back and caught up with Cao An and Xiao Hai.
"Brother, someone is following us."
Cao An nodded slightly, without any other movement, and continued to argue with Xiao Hai about whether the stinky fruit on the stall could be eaten.
"How can I eat it when it stinks?" Xiao Hai pinched his nose and said inexplicably.
The vendor pushed hard, "It's edible, very delicious! This is durian, and it's not available in mainland China."
When they were buying things, they all spoke mainland Chinese and did not listen to Zhong Sheng, so they communicated in English.
The truth is that they are not used to speaking yet, and the vendors didn't react much to it.
I guess the people following behind them targeted them because of this.
Cao An ate a bit of the durian flesh the vendor handed him for a taste test. His frown relaxed, and he nodded. "Buy it. Give me ten."
Xiao Hai looked at him in a state of confusion, watching the money go into the vendor's pocket. He didn't dare to say anything, but in his heart he thought, "Brother Cao, you can't eat shit, but you spend money to buy shit?"
It’s a good thing that Cao An doesn’t have the ability to read minds, otherwise he would have smashed his head!
The vendor packed the durians in a net bag, which was fortunately not too big, with the lid about the size of a bowl. Two durians were put in one bag, and the three of them continued to walk forward while carrying the bag.
