Chapter 7 Curiosity
Without waiting for the man in the suit to move, Zhang Xiaobai, who had his eyes closed, yelled and stood up abruptly, then looked around the carriage in a daze, clasped his hands together and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I had a nightmare!"
With a cry, the woman woke up, and suddenly found three strangers approaching her, and couldn't help but put the cloth bag in her arms.
The thief failed, and looked at Zhang Xiaobai with resentful eyes, but the latter turned a blind eye.
After a lot of tossing and sleepiness, Zhang Xiaobai walked to the smoking area to smoke, or how to say that Xiao Shitou is a good brother, and secretly put a few packs of cigarettes in his bag.
The duck that reached the mouth flew away, and the culprit was the boy, and the three thieves also came over.
A man approached Zhang Xiaobai and said viciously, "If he is nosy, I will kill you!"
Zhang Xiaobai looked calm, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "I've seen your name a lot, how can you do this if you have the guts to kill people? It's okay to scare others, but it's not easy for me."
"What the hell are you talking about?" The man punched him before he finished speaking.
It's just that the fist was hanging in the air, and the wrist was tightly clamped by a hand.
At some point, a man in a suit suddenly appeared, restrained the man's wrist, and hit the man's abdomen hard with the top of his knee.
The thief couldn't help but crouched down, howling in a low voice.
"Get out, or I'll call the police!" the man in the suit shouted.
Two other people helped the man flee the scene.
Zhang Xiaobai said seriously: "Thank you! Brother!"
The man looked to be in his forties, it was wrong to call him big brother, and it was also inappropriate to call him uncle when he was out of the house, so he called me old brother.
The man in the suit smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello! My name is Yao Yuan!"
Zhang Xiaobai rubbed his palm against the front of his shirt, feeling a little embarrassed. Such a formal handshake has never been done before, but he still stretched out his hand, "Hello, my name is Zhang Xiaobai!"
The man named Yao Yuan held out a cigarette, "Try this!"
Zhang Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, but still took the cigarette. It was a panda card he had never seen before. He believed in his own feeling that this middle-aged man was not a bad person.
Seeing him sucking in a breath, Yao Yuan asked, "How?"
Zhang Xiaobai scratched his head, "It's a bit soft!"
Yao Yuan laughed heartily, thinking that this kid is really interesting.
After chatting, Yao Yuan became more and more interested and invited Zhang Xiaobai to the restaurant for a drink.
In the early hours of the morning, there was no one in the restaurant, and the two sat opposite each other.
Moutai was placed on the table, Zhang Xiaobai was sweating on his forehead, wondering who this Yao Yuan was, drinking such a good wine. But this dish is not interesting, peanuts.
After taking a sip of wine, Yao Yuan said, "I'm very curious about you."
Zhang Xiaobai said, "I'm also very curious about you."
Yao Yuan signaled, and Zhang Xiaobai said, "It seems that my brother doesn't want to be a green leather train man."
Yao Yuan smiled, "Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, so I like to walk around in my spare time, enjoy the scenery, and look for some business opportunities. I came from a poor family. Taking this train can make me remember the old days. People, don’t lose your heart.”
Zhang Xiaobai raised his thumb, "Brother, it's rare, it's really rare!"
Yao Yuan asked sternly: "Looking at your clothes, you don't seem to come from a wealthy family, so why did you fall in love with that book on principles of economics?"
Zhang Xiaobai scratched his head, "To tell you the truth, I'm just a poor boy in a small mountain village. I just entered university, and that book...was a gift from a friend."
Seeing the shy look of the young man, Yao Yuan laughed out loud, already making a guess.
Yao Yuan asked again: "How did you know about the scam? How did you know about the three thieves."
Zhang Xiaobai said with a smile: "Brother, of course I know..."
Then the young man told the whole story about his small business on the train, he always walked on the train, and he couldn't hide anything from him.
Listening to the young man's narration with a smile, Yao Yuan's expression became heavy. He never thought that this young man would have such an extraordinary experience.
Although the young man said it as a joke, Yao Yuan knew the bitterness in it, like a fish knowing how warm the water is.
How can it be so easy?
Yao Yuan seriously toasted the young man with a glass of wine, and said, "You didn't save me during the scam, why did you steal something?"
Zhang Xiaobai said: "Liars are cheating greedy people. If that person is not greedy, he will not be fooled. He is not worthy of sympathy. But the mother and son are really pitiful people. As long as they meet, this matter has to be taken care of!"
Yao Yuan gave a thumbs up secretly, the young man's performance this day can be said to be courageous, resourceful, virtuous and virtuous.
Zhang Xiaobai talked more and more. After drinking, he completely let go of his guard, thinking that this old man is a confidant.
Not only did he say where he went to study in college, but also all kinds of things in Wolong Village,
Yao Yuan sighed unceasingly, at the age of twenty, he had too many burdens.
The two bottles of wine were wiped out without knowing it, and finally Zhang Xiaobai fell asleep on the table. Yao Yuan looked at the young man smoking a cigarette, showing approval.
Teenagers have more ambitions!
The next day, parting is imminent.
Yao Yuan took out a business card and said, "Little brother, if you have anything to do in Los Angeles in the future, give me a call, as long as you can do it, it's easy."
Zhang Xiaobai took the business card and glanced at it, only a few words were written on it, Yuanda Group Yao Yuan.
"Brother, Moutai is really delicious, I hope one day I can afford you!"
Yao Yuan laughed and patted Zhang Xiaobai on the shoulder, "There will be such a day!"
As the train pulled into the station, Zhang Xiaobai packed his luggage and walked along with the crowd, waving with his back to Yao Yuan.
Meeting by chance is a passerby, but this old man, I will never forget it.
Walking out of the train station, Zhang Xiaobai squatted down and pretended to tie his shoelaces. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced behind him, and the three thieves were following him.
It seems to want revenge.
A policeman was wandering around the square. Zhang Xiaobai hurried over and pointed behind him, "Uncle, I came from there. Which bus should I take to go to Los Angeles University?"
With such a finger, the guilty three thieves immediately disappeared into the square, thinking that he was calling the police.
Zhang Xiaobai took a deep breath, and only then did he have the time to look at the world in front of him.
High-rise buildings, cars speeding, extremely noisy.
Los Angeles, here I come!
