After being divorced, I pried the corner of my ex-husband

Chapter 5 This World Is Spending Money Like Water

Four 10 minutes, as if a century had passed.

After the ship docked, Xia Bing squatted in the toilet by the pier and vomited.

Li Guanying and Zhao Yizhen were waiting for him outside, but Precha had already left.

Zhao Yizhen explained that Xiaopu was in a hurry to help the family, so he went to do it first.He was worried that Xia Bing and Li Guanying were not familiar with each other, they might not understand the language, and they would encounter some troubles, so he took the initiative to stay and help.

Xia Bing pulled out a smile, and wiped off the water stains on his lips with the back of his hand. "It's really thanks to the old iron for taking the trouble! How much should I pay Xiao Pu for the boat ride? Please pass it on to me."

"Just follow the market price, five thousand baht."

"Okay. The two of us together?" Xia Bing asked again.

Zhao Yizhen shook his head: "No, this is the price for one person."

It's a bit dark, but I can only recognize it.

Anyway, this little money is nothing to Xia Bing.

Now that the reward is paid, it will be more at ease to make some demands.

Xia Bing borrowed Zhao Yizhen's mobile phone and savings card, and used his savings card to exchange and withdraw some cash at the ATM machine through online transfer.

As for the remuneration negotiated before, it was also remitted to Zhao Yizhen's account during the previous transfer.

The money was easily received. Zhao Yizhen was very happy, and his attitude towards Xia Bing became more and more enthusiastic: "Big brother, it is very dangerous for you to take out so much cash with you. Be careful of being robbed!"

"I can't help it. My phone got wet and I have to buy a new one." Xia Bing replied, still with a polite smile on his face.

Li Guanying whispered behind him: "I think he is dangerous."

"You want to buy a mobile phone~ It's a bit expensive. I know a few shops that can repair mobile phones, and they will be repaired quickly. Otherwise, take your big brother to see it?" Zhao Yizhen enthusiastically suggested.

"You've already helped me a lot, why bother you? No need, I'm in a hurry." Xia Bing was physically and mentally exhausted, with worries mixed with anxiety, and she didn't want to chat with Zhao Yizhen any more.

What Li Guanying said was right, Zhao Yizhen was too enthusiastic.After all, Xia Bing doesn't remember whether he saw his account balance.The reminder of "be careful when revealing your wealth" seems to be a bit of a 300 taels of silver here.

In such a comparison, the previous operation of taking a boat to collect money seems much more normal.

Xia Bing wanted to run away wholeheartedly, and dealt with Zhao Yizhen's various concerns and inquiries casually, humming and haha.

Zhao Yizhen wasn't in a hurry, he insisted on adding Xia Bing to WeChat.

In the end, he wrote down his local mobile phone number on a sticky note and forced it into Li Guanying's hand. "Dude, hold it. In case the phone is not fixed, if you two need anything, feel free to call me!"

Xia Bing had already lost his temper by him, so he waved his hand and said "goodbye", and pulled Li Guanying to turn around and leave.

The coastal town does not seem to be developed, but the pedestrians in twos and threes on the road are enough to make Xia Bing and Li Guanying feel relaxed.

Even though she has met Xia Bing, Zhao Yizhen and Precha, Li Guanying is still shocked by the people and things in modern society.Everyone is wearing short-sleeved single clothes, and he is a tall man with long hair in three layers, and he looks eye-catching and weird on the street.

The small vendors were either pushing carts or setting up sheds to support their stalls. They were not much different from the bazaars he had seen before, but the humanistic style was far away, which made people curious.

Xia Bing talked to a fruit stall owner in English, but the other party frowned for a long time and waved his hands to express his incomprehension.

Xia Bing pointed to the things he was selling and asked the price.

This time the other party obviously understood, took an object with a bunch of number buttons on it, pressed it a few times, and showed it to Xia Bing.

Xia Bing nodded, showing two fingers.The other party presses the button twice, and then lifts it up.

"OK." Xia Bing said and handed over a banknote.The other party readily accepted it, gave him a handful of change, turned around and put a cup of ice cubes into the machine, and then poured a cup of red fruit into it.

After pressing the switch, after a while of buzzing and stirring, the fruit and ice became a puree, mixed together, the color was very bright and beautiful.

"This is a fruit smoothie. Strawberry flavored, is that okay?" Seeing Li Guanying fascinated, Xia Bing smiled and handed him one of the glasses.

The pink smoothie was packed into a transparent cup, exuding a tempting aroma of sweet and sour.

"Strawberry? What is it?" Li Guanying saw strawberries for the first time, and even smoothies for the first time.He took the cup, and immediately felt a cold touch from his fingertips. "It's really ice! It must be expensive, right?"

"It's not expensive." Xia Bing shook his head, poked the straw on the top of the cup, took a deep breath, and let out a long breath.

Li Guanying glanced sideways, followed his example, and took a sip from the top of the straw.

The ice is cool, and the taste of sweet and sour berries is really amazing.

"This is too delicious!"

The surprise he couldn't help revealing, the exclamation of excitement as if he had never seen the world, and the exaggerated words of praise finally made Xia Bing's frown relax.When talking about food, no matter how difficult it is, time will always pass faster.

"The mango flavor is also delicious." Xia Bing said with a smile.

"What is a mango?" Li Guanying asked.

"I'll tell you later. The stall owner just told me where I can take a taxi. Let's go!"

"He told you... I just wanted to say, what did Brother Xia tell him? It sounds like Zhao Yizhen and Precha's language accent is not the same..."

Xia Bing smiled: "I speak English, and I want to ask him where he can sell mobile phones. It's a pity that the locals don't speak English very well. At most, they can only talk about the price of things. Fortunately, he heard If you understand me, ask for a taxi and tell me where it is.”

Li Guanying couldn't help sighing again why everyone in this world can speak a foreign language, not only Zhao Yizhen, but also Xia Bing, and even vendors who set up stalls can speak a few words.

Soon, the two saw an empty taxi on the road.

"Let's go!" Xia Bing jumped up excitedly, holding Li Guanying's arm and rushed forward, just like a dog that has been imprisoned for many days is finally allowed to have fun.

The driver stopped the car in front of them, and Xia Bing rushed to the back seat of the taxi, motioning for Li Guanying to sit next to him: "We are finally saved now."

After some communication, the driver took them to the busiest commercial street in the town.

The concentrated commercial area is not large, but there are many shopping malls, gathering various types of goods.Many well-known brand LOGOs and advertising posters compete to display in the most prominent positions.

There are people coming and going here.

Li Guanying was attracted by fashionable people, while Xia Bing saw the lotus-shaped logo of her mobile phone brand at a glance, and dragged him into the store decisively.

This mobile phone brand is domestically produced, so the shop assistants and engineers can speak Chinese, so there is no barrier to communication.

Xia Bing sent his old mobile phone to the engineer for overhaul. While waiting, he tried the new mobile phone on the display stand.

About a quarter of an hour later, the engineer replied that Xia Bing's mobile phone motherboard had a short circuit, and the accessories happened to be unavailable, so the waiting period for repairs totaled a week.

a week?The daylilies are getting cold!

Xia Bing scratched his head anxiously, so he couldn't wait!Definitely buy a new one!

He also sent the old mobile phone for repair as usual, took out the SIM card and memory card, installed a new mobile phone, and fortunately, it can still be used normally.

He first called his father's phone, but no one answered the phone for a long time.

Thinking that maybe his father was busy with work and didn't pay attention to the phone ringing, he called his mother again and turned off the phone.

Li Guanying watched him open the address book without saying a word, call and send messages to his friends and relatives one by one... But the strange thing is that no one responded to Xia Bing.

He looked at his expression, from excitement and anticipation, to doubt, to anxiety, and finally to helplessness and despair.

He watched Xia Bing covering his face and sitting on the sofa in the waiting area. Without asking, he knew that he couldn't contact his family, but he didn't know what to say to comfort him, or... what could he do? Help him solve the problem.

He is very helpless, because now he can't help him with anything, he doesn't even understand why he can write and make calls by tapping on the mobile phone.

All that was left in his hand was the note left by Zhao Yizhen before he left.

He didn't know the string of Arabic numerals on the note at first, but Xia Bing took him to read it, and he realized that 0123456789 corresponds to [-].

"How about, let's find an inn and contact after a while?" Li Guanying asked tentatively.

Xia Bing wiped his face with his sleeve, and calmed down: "Well, that's fine. By the way..."

He looked at the crumpled clothes on his body, then at the unshaven Li Guanying's casually tied bun and the already somewhat tattered Hanfu, and said, "You are too eye-catching. I also want to buy some more clothes."

He pushed Li Guanying into the clothing store, helped him choose two sets from top to bottom, and matched two sets of coats for himself.

Coming out of the dressing room, both of them pointed at each other excitedly and laughed.

Xia Bing looks good in anything, no matter how these two sets of clothes are put together, he looks fresh and clean.

It was Li Guanying, with her long hair tied up in a bun and wearing a T-shirt and jeans, which always felt a little nondescript and funny.

Xia Bing found a hat for him to put on, and it really looked much better.

The two bought a bunch in a hurry, and took a taxi again on the way back.

This time, Xia Bing asked the driver to take them directly to the door of the five-star hotel.

But the bad things are still not over.

Xia Bing forgot that he had lost his passport, so he couldn't check in to the hotel normally.

And Li Guanying is a time traveler, not to mention that there are any documents to prove his identity.

The two cowardly could only call the driver back, and asked if there was any store nearby where they could check in without ID.

The taxi driver looked at the two men and smiled meaningfully: "If you have it, you have to..."

He stretched out his left hand to Xia Bing, rubbing his index finger and thumb constantly. "Tip. Give it to me first."
