Stubborn illness

I waved to him, and he waved to me too, with a very bright smile, and was about to get close to me, squatting down to the edge of the road quickly, throwing up, retching, "Are you motion sick in a car?" I took out a pack of tissues from my backpack, Pass one over.

"Haha, yes, the smell in the car is terrible, and I want to vomit." But I saw that he clearly raised his orchid fingers when he picked up the paper, and wiped a few drops of saliva from the corners of his lips.

"I also get motion sickness when I ride a car. I got motion sickness when I took the train at the beginning, but it's much better now. It may be because of exercise. Maybe I worked at a gas station before and got used to the smell of diesel, so I don't get motion sickness much now."

"Oh yeah? Where are we going now?"

"At this time, let's find a place to eat first." I said.

We avoided the most crowded stations and walked all the way, "What do you want to eat?" I asked him.

"You have the final say, you can eat whatever you say."

"Do you like pasta?"

"It's alright."

"Then this one." I pointed to a Lanzhou ramen restaurant in the depths of the alley beside me. It was quiet around here, with a few old trees, a few stone benches, and two old people playing chess intently, which made people feel harmonious and clean. .The signboard of the noodle restaurant is not ostentatious, but there is a signboard hanging on the lintel, with some signature dishes printed on it. There are two rows of solid wood dining tables, solid wood stools and chairs, painted with pig liver paint against the wall in the store.

The proprietress wore a turban on her head, and the proprietress was full of beards, gentle and rough, enthusiastic and forthright. "Boss, please sit down, what do you want to eat?" Serving tea to the guests.

I ordered a bowl of ramen, a plate of solitary mutton, and a fried shredded potato. "You can order what you like." I glanced at him and looked at the various menus on the wall.

"I..., what should I eat? I want fried rice with eggs." He looked at me with beseeching eyes.

"Do you want to order another dish?" I also looked at him with a questioning tone.

"No, no need, there are so many, I can't finish it." He waved his hands again and again.

"If you eat fried rice, why don't you have a simple soup, such as three delicacies soup, or seaweed egg drop soup."

"It's okay, haha, fool." He reached out and tapped on the top of my head, as if there was no one else around, and smiled very ambiguously.

Just like the surrounding environment in the depths of this alley, the business in the store is obviously a little deserted. We ate for a long time, sat for a long time, and chatted for a long time. There were only three, four or five people coming and going. The food is still delicious.

After checking out and leaving, it was almost eight o'clock, "Where are we going now?" He asked again, this time holding my shoulder.

"What do you think? Go shopping?" I smiled, a little slyly.

"It's ok, um..., I'm quite tired. I got motion sickness just now, and I'm quite tired."

"What do you mean? We're going to open a room now?" I stared into his eyes and laughed.

"No, no, whatever you want, I'll go wherever you go, anyway, I'm not familiar with this place at all." He let go of his hands shyly, lowered his head, distanced himself slightly from me, and walked forward.

We circled along the road for a long time, but we didn’t see a hotel. The night was getting thicker and the pedestrians were getting sparser. We just walked, one behind the other, not far apart. I glanced at the well-lit Chinese medicine store, speeded up, and dodged in.

"A box of Durex, a bottle of lubricating oil, water-soluble, thank you." I stood in front of the counter, summoning up my courage, looking very old-fashioned.

The young female cashier turned around when she heard the sound, took a look at me, took out the things I needed from the transparent glass cabinet, put them on the table, took the money I handed over, and looked at me again.

After I bought it, I was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, I walked slowly into the store, looked carefully, and killed time.

The phone rang, it was him, silent, I hung up.The phone rang, it was him, silent, and I hung up again.The phone rang, and it was still him, silent. I hesitated for a second, and then hung up again.

With my hands behind my back, I paced slowly, and stepped out of the foreign drugstore. On the right side of the store door, ten meters away, the man, holding a mobile phone, was just on the spot, spinning around, with a look of horror and bewilderment on his face...

"Hey, here it is." I approached quietly and patted him on the shoulder.

"Ah! You scared me to death. I thought you would leave me alone." The expression was exaggerated, but very real.

"Such a big man, can he lose it?"

"I'm not familiar with the place where I was born, and I can't tell the difference between the south, the east, and the north."

"Just find the station, haha."

After the joke, we moved on. It is so close to the provincial station. Logically speaking, this place should not be remote, but there is really no suitable hotel. It is indeed a bit late. I saw an old man walking out of the alley. At the age of 70, white shirt, white trousers, white sneakers, white and clean casual clothes, and vigorous steps, walked by us, I quickly followed: "Hello, Uncle, I would like to ask about the area around here. Is there a hotel?"

"A hotel? Oh, near here? Oh, yes, yes, let's go, I just happened to be on the way, and I'll take you there." The uncle scratched his head first, and then suddenly, suddenly, speaking authentic Cantonese.

"Thank you, thank you." I am infinitely grateful, followed closely.

"Are you here on business?" He slowed down and looked at me.

"No, I came here to play."

"Oh, let's go." At this time, we were side by side, synchronized, whispering to each other, talking while walking, I don't remember what we said, I just remember him asking: "Are you coming alone?"

I raised my right hand and pointed behind me: "Two, and him."

"Oh, then you guys go there, just turn left in front, one step, XXX tea restaurant and hotel, I'll go this way." Just now he said that he would take me there, but this time, he passed through the left The zebra crossing, walking quickly, without looking back, disappeared in the depths of the corner under the dim street lights in an instant.

"Do you come here often?" Mo Mo caught up with me, the first sentence.

"Nonsense, if I come here often, how can I not find a hotel for a long time."

"Do you know that old man just now?" The second sentence.

"do not know."

"Really? Don't you really know each other? Why do I feel that you are so nice? Like old lovers."

"Hehe, many people in Guangzhou are very enthusiastic, especially those uncles and aunts." I spoke softly, with sharp eyes, and stared at Silence, because I thought his words were a bit strange.

"Oh, you said..., he..., could he be the same person as us, could he..., could he have taken a fancy to you?" Mo Mo hesitated: "Look at his movements and he looks at you." The look in his eyes, I guess yes, he is also this kind of person."

"Hahahahaha, is it possible? Maybe." I laughed so hard that in this dimly lit street, there was a flag that was nearly decayed, shaky, and messy after the wind and rain.

Shen Mo came up and took my hand, as if he was afraid that I would lose it again in a mischievous manner.

We followed the direction pointed by the old man and found it. There was only one room left. The room attendant led us in, but it hadn't been cleaned yet. It was dirty and had an unpleasant smell. "I'm sorry, the customer just left, we haven't had time to clean up, sorry, sorry, you go to the front desk to pay the money first, and come up later."

"Let's go down for supper first."
