Chapter 3, Serendipity in the Town
Certainly, in order to compensate, the driver also refunded the fare to me on the spot
However, this person, for some reason, ever since that yellow-haired girl caused a commotion, I have always felt a heaviness on my head, as if something were squatting on top of it. I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. When we passed Xiang Lake and arrived at Guangnan Tongdao County, I suddenly felt a tumultuous churn in my stomach, gurgling incessantly, unable to stop the gas from escaping.
The people around quickly identified the target, and a well-dressed young girl could no longer contain herself. Pinching her nose, she said to me, "Brother, could you please have a sense of public morality? If you continue like this, we will definitely not make it to Guangdong and will be suffocated to death right here.
I was in a daze, and subconsciously touched my head, only to find nothing but messy hair. Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman next to me was scolding the blonde girl while smiling apologetically at me, saying, "Young man, please don't take it to heart. My daughter has always been a bit eccentric since she was little, it's always been like this."
At first, I did not pay attention, but before long, I regained my senses
After a while, I finally remembered that the girl on the other end of the phone seemed to be asking me if I wanted special services
In such a town, the conditions are naturally nothing to look forward to; the sheets and blankets are sticky, and when I took a whiff, there was a pungent musty smell. However, it is fortunate that there is a kettle for boiling water
I could have spoken confidently and justifiably, but upon seeing the person before me, who had a somewhat pure appearance reminiscent of a girl next door, I became somewhat dull-witted. The girl, upon hearing this, expressed her surprise and asked the person who had just answered the phone, "Wasn't it you?"
I took some cold medicine, feeling a bit dizzy, and sat on the bed thinking for a while. Just at that moment, the door to the room was knocked on with a "knock, knock" sound.
I did not dare to close the door, hurriedly stopping her and saying in a low voice: "Ah, wait a moment, let us clarify the matter first"
I looked out through the peephole at the door and saw a long-haired woman waiting at the entrance
To speak candidly, this girl is more attractive than several of my past girlfriends. If I could develop a relationship with her that transcends friendship, it would indeed be a wonderful thing
I do not know what happened, my stomach suddenly became upset. I tried to hold back the urge to relieve myself, but I could not help but pass gas, releasing several silent and foul-smelling farts, which left me feeling extremely embarrassed
The young lady, dressed in a beautiful white dress, was splashed by me, and her entire body was covered in a foul-smelling mixture of yellow and white liquid. She immediately burst into tears.
Instinct or reason
The woman glanced at me and noticed the hesitation in my eyes. She asked if I thought she was not beautiful, which was why I had suddenly changed my mind
On the long-distance bus, two people took turns driving. This person was also a driver. He came over, took a glance, then reached out to touch my forehead. With a sigh, he said, "Young man, why is your forehead so hot?"
Something happened on my head
Just as I was feeling drowsy, the phone on the bedside suddenly rang
I boiled a kettle of water, took a shower, and when I returned, I followed the instructions and took all the medication. I turned on the television and watched for a while. As the effects of the medication set in, I began to feel a bit dazed
Encountering someone with an upset stomach while on a long-distance bus is one of the most awkward situations, as there are no restrooms on the bus, making it quite inconvenient
I do not want to go through the hassle, just ask him, since we are already halfway, why not go directly to Guangdong? I will take a look when I get there
With my slightly sensitive nose, I detected a hint of something amiss. As a man, I am particularly sensitive, and my psychological obsession with cleanliness surged forth. It took an immense amount of willpower for me to push this woman out the door.
My stomach was in turmoil, and I was already feeling unwell. As a result of what the other person said, my stomach spasmed, and for some reason, I couldn't hold it in. I opened my mouth, and a mouthful of vomit sprayed onto the other person.
As I gazed at the woman's gradually approaching red lips, my heart raced incessantly. Considering that I was already here and it wasn't too expensive, why not make it worthwhile for her instead of letting her come for nothing?
Recalling the scam I encountered on my way back, I was immediately terrified and trembling. As someone who has always been timid and cautious, I only entertained a slight malicious thought, and as a result, I fell into the trap. Now, whenever such matters are mentioned, I feel weak all over and dare not provoke such a stench again
No way?
I had not finished speaking when that woman suddenly freed her hand, grasped me between the legs, gently squeezed, and said to me with a flirtatious smile: "Brother, my services are very good; you will know once you try. If you are not satisfied, you won't have to pay..."
Why
This breath saved me
Knock, knock ... ...
This woman is quite reserved and honest. I had no intention of making things difficult for her, so I nodded and smiled, and did not say much more.
I felt quite uneasy because of her, staring at the window for a long time without seeing any reflection of what was on my head
The driver disagreed, saying that if it were just a common cold or fever, it would be fine, but what he fears is...
Uh ... ...
I did not sleep well all night, and after forcing myself to tidy up a bit, I checked out of the hotel. I touched my forehead and felt that I still had a slight fever, and my stomach was rumbling incessantly, so I inquired about nearby hospitals
The figure that just walked by, could it be the nine-tenths beauty Xia Xi who previously set me up? How could she be here?
Around 11 o'clock in the afternoon, I found myself abandoned on the street of an unfamiliar town in the western part of Guangnan. Watching the long-distance bus whiz by, I came to my senses and gazed at the desolate street around me, lost in thought.
In the cramped space of a long-distance bus, with the air not circulating, the people around soon found it unbearable. At first, they murmured a few words, but as time went on, it became apparent that the odor not only did not dissipate but also seemed to intensify. Everyone could no longer tolerate it and began to voice their complaints.
The little girl who was splattered by me was relentlessly cursing beside me, while my stomach was also in turmoil, stubbornly letting out loud farts. The driver inquired and then discussed with me, saying that given my condition, it seemed unlikely I could hold on until Guangdong. There was a township ahead, so he suggested that I could be dropped off there to find a hospital and get checked out.
The woman was rejected, and after cursing a few words outside the door, she probably feared being watched, so she left in a dejected manner
Before I could regain control, an even more awkward situation arose
I spoke a couple of sentences in a daze, could it be that I inadvertently agreed
The commotion in the carriage attracted the attention of someone from the front passenger compartment who came over to take a look
At first, I was not fully awake and thought I was dreaming, but the phone kept ringing persistently, ringing incessantly, causing my head to ache.
After taking the medication, I lost the motivation to continue searching for a hospital. I noticed a hotel directly across from the pharmacy, so I went there and rented a single room to stay in
As the cold wind blew, I felt my spirits lift a little. After walking along the street for a while, I did not see any hospitals or clinics. There was a clinic that was closed, and the only place I noticed was a pharmacy. I did not have much luggage, so I went in with just a bag and got some over-the-counter cold and fever medication
Her voice carried a hint of the Sichuan accent, soft and sweet, and combined with the movements of her hands, it left me unable to straighten my back.
But how should I respond to them
She started knocking again, just like the previous call, with a somewhat persistent tone. I was afraid that the noise would disturb the rest of others, so I gritted my teeth and reluctantly opened the door.
I answered the phone in a daze, not even knowing what was being said, and then hung up
I looked up and saw that the woman standing at the door was in her prime, quite attractive, with an oval face and almond-shaped eyes, giving off a bit of a recent graduate vibe, which made me feel somewhat favorable towards her. However, at that moment, she suddenly squeezed into my room and said, "Hello, sir, the service you requested..."
My stomach is making a "gurgling" sound, and it simply won't stop, making it impossible to conceal.
As he spoke halfway, everyone suddenly began to have wild thoughts. Those who had experienced the SARS outbreak were no longer calm, and they all started to persuade him. I knew that if I were to stay on the bus, I would likely be forcibly removed on the spot. There was no choice but to agree to get off at the next town.
As soon as the door opened, before seeing anything else, a fragrant breeze rushed towards me
I reached out to touch it, and indeed it was a bit warm. No wonder I felt unwell earlier; I must have caught a chill on the way and come down with a fever and cold
I was so startled that I jumped up, thought for a few seconds, hurriedly put on my clothes neatly, and then walked to the door
After I clarified everything, I had a bowl of porridge at a nearby breakfast stall and was just about to head to the hospital when I noticed a tall figure walking into the small alley on the left
I was left feeling embarrassed, stammering as I said: "That is not what I meant; I am saying that I do not have this need..."
I lowered my head and said it was indeed me, but I was in a daze and knew nothing at all
I have just suffered a loss and been deceived; the events of a few days ago are still vivid in my mind. How could I possibly fall into the same pit twice? Whenever I think of this matter, I become incredibly resolute, gritting my teeth and saying: "It is not like this, please leave... Oh dear!"
She has indeed left, yet it has caused me to toss and turn, unable to sleep day and night, lost in chaotic thoughts for a long time, until the effects of the cold medicine finally took hold, and I fell into a hazy sleep.
The woman glanced at me and said calmly, "Two hundred for a single time, five hundred for the whole night"
After the blonde girl caused a commotion for a while, she changed her sleeping arrangement with her mother, and only then did she gradually calm down
The next day, upon waking up, I, who had spent the night indulging in a vivid and sensual dream, had no choice but to get up and change my underwear
However, this is one moment, and that is another moment
Just when my mind was wavering, that woman opened her mouth and exhaled towards me
