Chapter 11: Airport

Views:

One of the four joys in life, meeting old friends in a foreign land.

Qian Ai quickly put down the chain lock, opened the door, and hugged the old classmates one by one, each for dozens of seconds on average, with sincerity.

Xu Wang almost let him suffocate, he finally let go of it, and then looked up and down carefully, and finally, he was amazed at Qian Ai's burly body of nearly 1.9 meters: "I remember you standing in the first row of high school, Going the cute line, this style of painting has changed too much."

"You just say I'm getting fat!" Qian Ai laughed heartily, "At that time, I had a good appetite, and I didn't grow fat. Later, when I went to college, I started to grow up. I kicked my legs every night, and I didn't sleep peacefully!" He As he spoke, he brought people into the house, "Don't stand at the door and say, come in quickly."

When Xu Wang entered the room, he realized that there was no one else inside. There was a mobile phone on a selfie stick, and several local delicacies were placed on the table in front of the mobile phone.

After closing the door, Qian Ai quickly ran to the front of the phone to give an explanation: "I'm here today. It's too rare to meet old classmates while traveling abroad. I can't justify it if I don't entertain you. I owe you to continue eating tomorrow!"

Xu Wang finally understood what the old classmate was doing, turned his head and exchanged glances with Wu Sheng.

The latter understood: "Food anchor."

Watching Qian Ai quickly cut off the live broadcast, Xu Wang felt a little embarrassed: "Is this okay? Will it lose fans?"

"Yo, you know what to do," Qian Ai flipped the quilt aside and sat on the bed, "The premise of losing powder is to have powder, I'm not afraid of it haha."

When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he looked a little rounder back then.

"But then again, it's still Wu Sheng's ability," Qian Ai said, looking at Wu Sheng, as if to confirm again, "I've become like this, can you still recognize me at a glance?"

Wu Sheng shrugged very naturally: "Why don't I be the monitor."

An indescribable light appeared in Qian Ai's eyes: "Squad leader, you really haven't changed at all."

Wu Sheng agrees: "So we can't be forgiven for not recognizing you, and it's puzzling if you don't recognize us."

Qian Ai called it a grievance: "The two men knocked on the door in the middle of the night, and they were unfamiliar with each other. I was vigilant. I don't have the heart to see whether you two are round or flat. Now, what are you looking at, what are you doing, isn't that a disaster."

"You don't need to be so cautious," Xu Wang said speechlessly, "Who dares to move with your current size."

"You can't be careful when you're out and about." Qian Aisha sighed with emotion. After he finished speaking, he recalled it with hindsight, and his confused eyes wandered between Wu Sheng and Xu Wang, "You two... Are you traveling together?"

Xu Wang was speechless. I just said it casually, who knows that there will be a follow-up to the reunion of classmates when accusing a harasser!

"Well, not only the two of us, but also... and my aunt's younger brother," Wu Zhe, Xu Wang bit the bullet, "he happened to be on vacation and wanted to come out to play, and my parents didn't have time, so I volunteered. "

"Which school has a holiday in November..." Qian Ai muttered, but didn't pursue it, because another question was more striking, "What kind of combination would you bring your younger brother out to play, and be accompanied by a class leader?"

"We met in Beijing, and he just wanted to come out for a walk, so we went together." A lie always requires a hundred lies to make up for it, and what is even worse is that people greet him warmly. It's 120,000 guilty.

Qian Ai didn't have the slightest doubt, looked at him and then at Wu Sheng, with both emotion and envy in his eyes: "The two of you were inseparable back then. I didn't expect that after such a long time, the relationship is still so strong. It's really good."

"Iron is not iron," Wu Sheng sighed lightly, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, "Let's see from which side..."

Xu Wang listened to these words, what was wrong, and he didn't know what Wu Sheng was going to say. He was very uncertain. He simply asked a question to interrupt him and seized the initiative: "Love the money, how about you, why did you come here?"

Qian Ai was taken aback by the question, and after a while, he quickly took out his phone and shook it: "Isn't this just getting into a new industry? My ID is Lao Qian Eat Shenzhou, so I must do what I say and do it."

"Eat all over China?" Xu Wang heard the seriousness in his words, "Are you really going to take this as a career?"

Qian Aizheng nodded: "Live until you are old, eat until you are old."

Xu Wang was delighted: "Well, it fits one of your personalities back then."

"One?" Qian Ai asked, "What is the second?"

Xu Wang said, "I love money."

Qian Ai finally seized the opportunity to protest: "Attribution is only attractive when it is hidden. You always talk about it like this, it seems that I have no meaning!"

"Hidden attributes are also attributes, right? It's not that they don't exist anymore." Xu Wang broke through his self-deception, but when an old classmate mentioned it, he would always be accommodating, "Then what will I call you in the future? Qian Ai? Listen How prosperous…”

"Old Qianbei," Qian Ai grinned happily, "My fans all call it that, kind!"

"...Okay." Xu Wang felt that he needed to take a swipe at how he became a fan of the other party.

When old classmates meet, there is always something to talk about, but happy is happy. Time waits for no one. Seeing that half past eleven, Xu Wang couldn't hold back anymore.

Fortunately, Qian Ai was not enthusiastic about retaining him.

Back in the room, Kuang Jinxin was still sleeping, Xu Wang nodded in admiration, then stepped forward and pulled the quilt, calling out cordially, "Brother, get up—"

In this room, Jin Xin got up blindly, and Wu Sheng in the other room had already confirmed the distance between the hotel and the coordinates: "It's less than two kilometers. After we get in, we can just walk north all the way."

Xu Wang had already re-armed and put on his down jacket, looked out the window, and sincerely hoped: "I hope that there will be no more bears in this pass."

Kuang Jinxin was finally completely awake, quickly put on his clothes, dug out three bags of fish fillets from his hiking bag, put one bag in his pocket, and handed the other two bags to Xu Wang and Wu Sheng: "If we meet again, let's take this one. Shred it and throw it into the sky as a fish tornado!"

Xu Wang and Wu Sheng put the fish fillets in their pockets, the former hesitated, while the latter said straightforwardly, "Let's keep it for ourselves."

23:59:00

The three partners, who had exhausted their gossip, looked at the time on their mobile phones and waited for the arrival of zero o'clock.

"Dong-dong-"

The midnight knock on the door without warning sounded more frightening than an owl call.

The three of them were so frightened that their whole body shuddered, and the fright was a guilty conscience, which mixed into a wild beating of their hearts.

"Dong-dong-"

"Is the baby there-"

It was the voice of the aunt at the front desk who received them during the day.

Xu Wang was the first to react, and hurriedly ran to the door, pretending to be half asleep through the door panel, and replied lazily, "I'm already asleep, what's wrong..."

"Don't coax me, the phone upstairs has been called to the front desk, saying that your room has been talking all the time, so noisy, you can't sleep in the upper room!"

Xu Wang helped his forehead, although they had been chatting and chatting while waiting half an hour ago, but the sound insulation of this hotel was the culprit!

"Cuckoo-"

It's zero.

The owl's cry came from a distance, mournful and cold, like a call from the underworld.

Purple light came from behind, without turning back, Xu Wang also knew that the "entrance" had opened. This made him feel flustered for a moment, and he hurriedly searched his stomach to find a rhetoric that could cope with the door, but the more anxious he became, the more confused he became.

The auntie outside the door didn't know what was going on inside the door, but she knew that it suddenly became quiet inside. Usually this kind of quietness was either "justified" or "conscience guilty", and she immediately became vigilant: "Hey, I said, it's not because you babies don't sleep in the middle of the night. Do something bad in the house!"

"How can it be," Xu Wang couldn't care about his words, and he showed a million sincerity, "We promise not to say a word, and definitely not to disturb the front and back!"

Auntie made it clear that she no longer believed it, and knocked on the door again: "Open the door!"

This is a private hotel. From the perspective of temperament, Xu Wang strongly suspects that it is the proprietress who is outside the door. But don't talk about the lady boss, it's useless when the boss comes, they will be sucked away in dozens of seconds, and it's time to open the door... Wait a minute, Xu Wang suddenly found himself caught in a misunderstanding, why can't he let Does anyone know that they have entered the "Owl"? They can't call the police, but that doesn't mean the people who see them being sucked away don't call the police!

Another thought, suddenly enlightened, Xu Wang raised his hand to open the door without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the hand was raised, and before it touched the door, the head started to hurt, and it exploded with the same severe pain!

The bone marrow-like pain that he had never experienced before, the pain made him squat down directly, and he wanted to die with his head in his hands!

"Xu Wang!" Wu Sheng's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately squatted down to check. However, he had just bent his legs, and his body had not fallen down, when a gust of wind suddenly blew up above his head, sending him, along with the squatting Xu Wang, to a standing position. The situation of Jinxin is also involved in the purple vortex!

On the screen of the mobile phone that fell to the ground, the time is clearly visible—00:02:00.

After a while, the three of them finally landed.

The headache was gone, only a little uncomfortable aftertaste remained, but the dizziness brought nausea.

His body was suddenly pulled up, and then Wu Sheng's voice was both disgusting and concerned: "What's wrong with you?"

"Headache." Xu Wang hadn't recovered from the injury, his voice sounded weak and pitiful.

Wu Sheng remembered the painful appearance of Xu Wang's sudden squatting after a suspected gesture of raising his hand to touch the door before he was forcibly dragged in here, and instantly understood: "Do you want the front desk to see us being sucked in?"

Xu Wang nodded, the annoyance of "falling short" flashed in his eyes.

"It's useless, since the owl can prevent Sun Jiang and Xiaokuang from calling the police, it can naturally prevent you from opening the door..." Wu Sheng said, and suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, and then his tone became subtle, "But we suddenly After disappearing, there is no response from the room, she will find something wrong even through the door panel, I don't know if the 'owl' has the ability to solve this."

If Xu Wang listened carefully and looked carefully, he would find that Wu Sheng at the moment was exactly the same as when he encountered a difficult problem in high school. The more difficult the problem, the more energetic Wu Sheng became. This kind of excitement that he likes to tackle hard problems by nature is completely beyond Xu Wang's understanding.

But at the moment, Xu Wang didn't pay attention to classmate Wu at all, all his thoughts were on his arms - the and in the were still there.

The originally mentioned heart slowly fell back, but it was a little puzzled. According to Kuang Jinxin and Sun Jiang, they tried to call the police, which is to reveal the secret of the "Owl", so they had a headache, and then they entered the Owl again, and the stationery box was empty. Now, why are things still there

Before I could think of a reason, I heard Kuang Jinxin say: "Xu Ge, Angkor, this place... is so strange."

Xu Wang and Wu Sheng instinctively looked around, but they were as stunned as Kuang Jinxin.

The translucent floor-to-ceiling glass, the dense steel structure dome, the people in a hurry, and the rows of check-in counters. Where there are snowfields and black bears, this is a normal airport, the air-conditioning temperature is suitable, and the flight attendants are smiling.

Xu Wang rubbed his eyes over and over again, and finally had to believe that he was not mistaken, so he could only ask his teammates blankly: "Are the four of us in the 'owl' or... eh? The four of us?"

Xu Wang's intuition was strange, so he hurriedly counted them silently in his heart, Wu Sheng, Kuang Jinxin, Qian Ai, himself, yes, there are four, but it doesn't seem like it should be these four...

"Old Qian?!" Xu Wang finally realized something was wrong, mainly because Qian Ai was standing beside Kuang Jinxin, the pose and even the expression on his face were too natural, like "Big White Rabbit" mixed in with "Big White Rabbit" Exemption", without any sense of violation.
