The next day, Li Ping continued to learn the local language with Pang Dong, while Li Xu came alone to the Guangzhou-Kowloon Through Train station.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw someone coming out of the exit.
He was a young man who looked to be in his twenties, dressed in a suit and tie, with a smile on his face. Li Xu ruled him out at first sight.
Because he was looking for a middle-aged person with life experience. Young people lack experience and are prone to making mistakes when talking to the government.
Then hundreds of people came out of the station, some were helping the elderly and children, some were carrying large and small bags. After looking at them, Li Xu felt that none of them was suitable.
It takes just over three hours to travel from the starting point to the end point of the Guangzhou-Kowloon Through Train, and there are only two trips a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
So when Li Xu's car arrived in the afternoon and he still didn't see the right person, he went straight to the hotel.
As soon as they entered the room, Pang Dong, who was teaching Li Ping, asked curiously, "Li Xu, have you been feeling the atmosphere here all day?"
Li Xu had said this when he left the house that morning. He smiled and replied, "Well, I have to say, big cities are much better than our small county town. Besides, there's construction going on everywhere right now. Once it's finished, I believe it will be even better than it is now."
Pang Dong was very happy. It was obvious that she really liked hearing others praise her hometown.
However, Li Xu's words were not easy to respond to, so she could only change the subject, "Why don't you take your brother with you? I see that from yesterday until now, he hasn't even left the house except to go to the bathroom."
"My brother is timid. He is not only afraid of seeing unfamiliar environments, but also afraid of talking to strangers."
Pang Dong's mouth twitched. He found it hard to imagine Li Chen, a big and strong man, showing fear. "I was wondering why he couldn't even learn to speak and you had to go back and teach him. But he's so timid, why did you still bring him with you?"
"My family wanted to take this opportunity to correct his bad habits, so they asked us to bring him here."
"But he stays indoors all day. Can he change that?"
"There's nothing we can do if he can't be changed." Li Xu pretended to sigh. "You've seen what he looks like. Let's put it this way, even if we two brothers work together, we can't control him. He refuses to leave the house, so what can we do?"
"Your family has really given you two brothers a big problem." Pang Dong sighed sincerely.
Li Ping and the other man smiled but said nothing.
Next, Pang Dong continued to teach the two of them the language, and Li Xu also ordered an extra dinner for her like he did yesterday.
This time she didn't refuse and accepted it happily.
After she got off work, Li Ping and Li Chen returned to the room. Li Xu told them the situation. After listening, Li Chen immediately let out a wail.
Even though he had only been in the house for a little over a day, he already felt like he was going to molder.
After hearing Li Xu's words, he knew that it would be difficult to find a suitable "shell" in a short time, which meant he would have to stay in the room for a longer time.
He thought this would drive him crazy sooner or later, so he thought about it, put on a flattering smile, and looked at Li Ping, "Brother, let's discuss it. How about going to study with Pang Dong one-on-one for a day?"
"Not very good." Li Ping shook his head and looked at him sympathetically. "Just now, Pang Dong asked you why you didn't go out. Xiao Xu said you were timid and afraid of seeing unfamiliar environments and talking to strangers."
Li Chen: ...
His face turned green when he heard that.
Doesn't this mean that except for going to the toilet, I can never leave this door again?
Seeing his resentful look, Li Xu coughed twice and said awkwardly, "I just said it casually. Third brother, you should stay in the house for a few more days. If you feel bored, you can practice martial arts."
Things have come to this point, and even if Li Chen is angry, it is useless and he can only nod in agreement helplessly.
After dinner, Li Ping began to teach Li Xu and Li Chen.
I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly I heard two loud bangs.
The three of them turned their heads and found that it was the sound of the window being blown by the wind.
Li Ping got up and opened the window.
Who would have thought that as soon as it was opened, it was blown shut by the wind again, and there was a loud "woo, woo" sound outside, and soon it started to rain heavily.
Li Ping inserted the window latch, but the window was still shaking from being scratched.
Li Chen smacked his lips in amazement. "This is quite a big commotion. In Tang County, you might not see such a scene for several years."
"You'll see them often here," Li Xu continued, "and maybe you'll see something bigger."
In his previous life, Li Xu stayed in Guangzhou for three months. It was a long time. First, there was the month-long plum rain season, and water was seeping out of the floors and walls. Then came the typhoon season.
Every time a typhoon hit, he felt like the building was going to be blown down, which was really terrifying.
"How did you know?" Li Chen was a little surprised.
"I was bored outside the station today and chatted with the locals for a while. He told me all this." Li Xu said perfunctorily, then said, "Brother, keep teaching us, otherwise there might be a power outage later."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the room went out.
Li Xu and the other two: ...
Li Ping's voice came from the dark room, "Old Third, is there a kerosene lamp in the room?"
"No."
"How about I teach you in the dark?"
"Okay, I can't sleep with all this noise anyway."
In this way, Li Ping continued to teach.
But before he could finish teaching her a few words, he heard someone knocking on the door.
The person knocking on the door was the receptionist. This receptionist was not Pang Dong, but a man who worked the night shift.
