"Are you sure? Just a friendly reminder, if you go there, you'll most likely get caught, roasted, and eaten. Over there, you'll just be an ordinary bird, nothing special."
It firmly declared, "Go!"
Seeing its insistence, I had no choice but to bring it along.
......
After two connecting flights and more than ten hours of flying, we finally arrived in Country S.
Four unassuming figures dragged their luggage out of the airport.
A dark-skinned man saw them and, as if they were fat sheep, ran over with a beaming smile, asking in heavily accented Mandarin, "Are you Chinese?"
Luo Shimiao raised an eyebrow. Although her accent was heavy, it was still fairly standard. She took out a written hotel address from her bag and said, "Take us to this place."
"Okay, this way please." He took the paper with the writing on it and glanced at it.
The four of them followed him for a short distance.
Luo Jianxing saw the man walk around the dilapidated black car in front of him and assumed it was the car, and was about to open the door.
The man said, "NONONO, my car is here."
After walking around the back of the car, they saw the car he was pointing to, and a flock of crows flew overhead.
Luo Shimiao waved his hand: "Forget it, let's find another driver. Your motorcycle can't carry this many people, not to mention we have three suitcases."
“Sure, I’ve carried up to seven passengers before,” he said without hesitation, snatching their suitcases from their hands, placing them at the back of the vehicle, and securing them with a rope. “You’ll have a hard time finding a ride at night. After this fare, I’m going home.”
“It’s too dangerous at night. If I weren’t short of money, I wouldn’t risk my life to solicit customers.”
Logically, the area outside the airport should be full of taxis, but right now there are hardly any cars or people around, and gunshots can be heard occasionally in the distance.
Looking at the motorcycle, Li Man said helplessly, "Just make do with it."
The man gripped the handlebars and said, "I'm an honest man, I offer good prices, and I would never rip you off."
Luo Jianxing was the first to get into the car, followed by Li Man, Luo Shimiao, and Gu Nian.
As soon as Gu Nian sat down, the front of the car lifted up.
"Move forward a little." The man stood up and tried to push the front of the car down.
There was a river-wide gap between him and Luo Jianxing, and Luo Jianxing reluctantly moved forward a little.
The front of the car landed with a thud.
......
A stretched motorcycle weaves through the dark streets.
Luo Jianxing took out his phone and showed him the hotel's location: "I've already made you drive around for three minutes, how long are you going to drive around like this?"
An embarrassment crossed his face; he hadn't expected they already knew he was taking a detour: "We'll be there soon."
The motorcycle turned into a small alley and stopped in front of a hotel in less than two minutes.
After unloading the suitcase, Luo Jianxing took out his wallet from his coat, pulled out a banknote from Country S and put it in his hand, saying bluntly, "I've looked into the prices in your country. You can't rip us off. I've already given you more than you should have."
The man's words were cut off. He thought he could get a free meal, so he had no choice but to take the money and disappear into the night on his motorcycle.
As the four entered the hotel, five or six men emerged from a corner not far away. They huddled together, whispering something to each other.
For safety reasons, they only booked one standard room. Luo Shimiao looked up at the room number, put the key in his hand into the keyhole, and opened the rusty iron door.
Pushing open the door and turning on the light, two wooden beds came into view, with yellow stains on the blankets covering them.
Luo Shimiao sat down on one of the beds, shifted her body, and immediately heard a creaking sound. She swallowed hard and asked, "Won't it collapse if two people sleep on it?"
"Third Brother, what hotel did you find!"
He closed the door, leaned against it, and said calmly, "This is already the best hotel around. It has a door, a bed, and no holes in the room. Be content."
Immediately afterwards, he carried the suitcase to the wooden table, took out the equipment inside, and stuck something that looked like a chip to the back of the door.
Li Man asked curiously, "What is this for?"
“If anyone approaches this door and stays there for more than 3 seconds, my phone will sound an alarm. It’s too messy here, so it’s better to be careful.” Luo Jianxing installed another hidden camera in the room.
After doing all this, he pointed to the bed and asked, "How are we going to sleep tonight?"
