When Wang Ping woke up, it was already the next morning.
The sun shone into the room through the gap in the curtains, spreading a long strip of light under Wang Ping's feet, emitting warmth. On another bed next to him, Gu Lao San was wearing only his underwear, hugging the quilt like an octopus, snoring loudly.
The tip of the nose has started to scab and is a bit itchy, making the badger unable to resist scratching it.
Yawning quietly, a certain badger sat up on the bed and looked down. The furnishings on his bed were still the same as last night. The tablet computer at his feet which had automatically turned off and the backpack behind him showed no signs of being moved.
"Did this guy go straight to bed without even turning on the lights when he came back last night?"
Wang Ping grabbed a handful of the white hair on the back of his head, and secretly felt lucky. At the same time, he was also secretly alert. Why has his brain become dull since he left the jungle? He actually fell asleep while watching a documentary.
He quickly picked up the tablet in front of him and stuffed it into the backpack behind him. Then he pushed the metal box back to its original position, jumped off the bed, and ran to the bathroom to take care of his personal hygiene.
Compared to the wild, the most convenient thing about staying in a hotel is the use of water. Wang Ping can wash his paws after going to the toilet and wash the hair around his butt at the same time. After all, using paper never seems to be enough to wipe it clean, and you often end up with toilet paper like noodles.
Of course, while doing all this, the badger locked the bathroom door to prevent the idiot in the room from seeing his "ugly appearance".
About half an hour later, Gu Lang woke up and got up from bed. Under the scrutiny of Wang Ping, who was sitting on the bed opposite him, scratching his butt and sunbathing, he walked into the bathroom, washed his face, and shaved with the hotel's disposable razor, pouting his lips, as if nothing had happened last night.
"Did you really not notice?"
Based on what Badger thinks he knows about Gu Lang, if he had discovered his behavior last night, he probably wouldn't be able to pretend now.
And from the moment Gu Lang got up until now, whether he was greeting people or washing up, he acted very naturally, which made Wang Ping feel relieved.
For Wang Ping, it is a good thing to get used to thinking from other people's perspectives. It not only avoids conflicts, but also allows him to consider things that he would not normally consider. However, this method is sometimes unreliable, especially for people whose brain circuits are different from those of ordinary people.
A certain badger's thinking was still unable to understand why Gu Laosan behaved so naturally. It was because he didn't care about Wang Ping playing with the tablet at all.
After all, he is a professional performer in the circus. What's the big deal about playing on the computer? You know, when I was at home, I had seen many videos of cats playing hopscotch and getting high scores. In addition, my grandma also raised a monster dog at home, who would help her go out to buy groceries and take out the trash. So some people have a different perception of animals than ordinary people.
The only thing Gu Lang was curious about was what position Wang Ping's body was in when he used his tail to manipulate it. Was the tail extending from behind him or between his legs
Last night, he imagined several moves in his mind, and each one made him laugh so hard that his legs cramped. He even planned to teach Wang Ping a few words after returning home. Aren't flat-headed brothers said to be very smart? Reading shouldn't be difficult, right
The man and the badger packed their luggage and went out with their own ulterior motives. Gu Lang asked Wang Ping to get into the backpack again, and then he carried the suitcase to the front desk to check out.
Staying in a four-star hotel with the most convenient transportation in the city center for one night cost Gu Lang 400 RMB. This price is already considered a sky-high price in the local area, but in China, it is the price of a fast hotel during the tourist season.
This also made someone sigh again at the cheap prices in Africa.
But apart from the prices, Gu Lang doesn't have any other good feelings about this city.
Except for a few cities with distinct characteristics, ordinary cities around the world are mostly the same.
Streets full of cars, pedestrians in a hurry, tall buildings everywhere, and air filled with exhaust gas and smog are like pieces of moss growing on the surface of the earth.
Usually in a city like this, Gu Lang doesn't even have the desire to go shopping.
Crossing the road and arriving at the train station opposite, Gu Lang took out his passport and bought a one-way ticket to Dar es Salaam. Then, under the watchful eyes of the station attendant, he leisurely carried his suitcase into the station, put his luggage on the security check machine, and walked in with Wang Ping's backpack on his back.
The security officer at the entrance scanned Gu Lang with a metal detector, looked at the backpack which looked normal, thought for a while, and still did not ask him to put the backpack into the security scanner.
Sometimes, many of these inadvertent details will expose a country's attitude towards the Chinese people.
Especially for countries like TSNY that were aided by China, although they are evil, they are still very tolerant of the Chinese in some matters.
This can be seen from the fact that Gu Lang's illegal breakthrough eventually turned into a traffic violation.
Of course, this does not mean that the Chinese can do whatever they want here. If there is any serious crime, the embassy will cooperate with the police to bring the bad guys to justice without diplomatic mediation.
So Gu Lang probably didn't know that this time he went to the embassy to report, he was not going to be praised, but to be scolded.
tsny, there are only two railway lines in total, the Tanzania Railway and the Tanzania-Zambia Railway. They are also the main east-west lines in Africa.
Of course, neither of these two railways was built by TSNY itself, but all relied on international bidding and aid. Therefore, more than half of the railway stations in this country are built with Chinese characteristics.
Carrying Wang Ping on his back and holding a suitcase, Gu Lang appeared at the central railway station in Dar es Salaam more than two hours later, on a train that was not green but looked better than green.
As the country's former capital and most important port city, Dar es Salaam's urban appearance is much better than Dodoma.
Of course, this may also be because most government agencies refuse to leave.
Although TSNY moved its capital more than 40 years ago, except for the fact that Dodoma's status can be seen on locally printed maps, Dar es Salaam still enjoys the treatment of a national capital.
Railway lines running through the east, west, north and south meet here, forming a huge cargo transfer station, rather than just passing through like in Dodoma. The gap in development can also be seen from the prices.
Gu Laosan left the train station and asked about the prices of two hotels along the way. It was just a shabby single room, without even wifi, but it cost more than 600 RMB, which was like robbing money.
It’s not that Gu Laosan was short of money when he was about to return to China, but he really didn’t want to be the scapegoat.
Finally, I contacted Zhang Jianming. With his recommendation, I found a 5-star hotel near the embassy and booked a sea view suite. Yes, that's right, the embassy is by the sea. This embassy area is full of beautiful sea view rooms and beach views that are very different from the inland. No wonder the government agencies here are reluctant to move away.
In the hotel room, the waiter diligently helped Gu Lang put away his luggage. After he left happily with the tip, Zhang Jianming began to scold Gu Lang for being too slow.
"You said that if you had come yesterday, you might have had a chance to meet the ambassador. He is very concerned about what happened to you this time." Sitting in the living room facing the beach, Zhang Jianming said to Gu Lang, who was walking around the room checking for any hidden cameras.
"Okay, you're a grown man, are you afraid of being photographed..."
Before Zhang Jianming could finish his words, he saw Gu Laosan put down the backpack that he had been refusing to let the waiter carry on the coffee table and let Wang Ping out.
A badger grabbed his butt which was a little numb from sitting, stepped out of the backpack with a square step, stood on the coffee table and looked around with a picky look on his face.
Zhang Jianming choked on the rest of his words, frowned, pointed at Wang Ping and asked: "This... How did you bring it here?"
Seeing that there was a beach outside, Wang Ping was about to run to the balcony to watch the sea, but he suddenly heard Zhang Jianming's words. His frown suddenly fell and he turned around to stare at him.
"What the hell? One is willing to lead, and the other is willing to follow. What does it have to do with you, an old man?"
That look made Zhang Jianming feel a little uneasy, and he awkwardly withdrew his hand that was pointing at the badger.
"Let it go! Let it go! I'm telling you, this thing can bite!"
Zhang Jianming shouted.
"Brother Zhang, please stop talking. He might understand." Gu Lang reminded helplessly, "He won't bite, but it's true that he will hit people when he's angry."
