Chapter 428: Happy Eve
People who are far away from their hometown naturally long to embark on their way back as soon as possible, because in this world, the way to come is the way to go.
I was not very happy when I was in a vacation holy place in Hawaii, because I was not here for vacation. In my sleep, I used ghost signals to call my relatives and friends, but I didn't call Zheng Xiumin's cell phone, and I couldn't help but worry about her and Hu Banxian.
After waking up, the sky outside the window was dark and the door was knocked. After it was opened, the old manager led a group of young students to introduce to me: "These are all Chinese students from nearby universities. When they learned that you were in trouble, they sent representatives to visit you!"
Seeing these young but enthusiastic faces, I hurriedly invited them to come in and sit down.
The old manager asked me: "Ms. Jiaoyi hasn't woken up yet?"
I replied, "Maybe I'm still asleep!"
One of the young tall students wearing white sweatshirts and black shorts gestured to their companions in a low voice, and the old manager introduced them to me.
This polite student is named Chai Jiakai, a third-year student at Honolulu University. His ancestral home is Shantou, Fujian. Another little fat man is from Osho College, named Chen Fei. He has a slight Shanghai accent and proudly introduced: "The college I am in is the college where Mr. Sun Yat-sen has studied!"
While we were chatting with each other, the door of the inner room opened and Jiaoyi walked out in a sleepy way. I hurriedly got up and introduced her to everyone.
Seeing so many young people, Jiaoyi was a little shy and rushed into the bathroom and started washing.
Chai Jiakai asked me: "Brother Yuan, is this Miss Jiaoyi your girlfriend? She is so beautiful!" I was a little embarrassed, and Chen Fei said: "You two live in the same room, so the relationship must be extraordinary!"
The bathroom door opened, Jiaoyi had already washed up, put on some light makeup, walked to the living room and greeted everyone. The students cheered and took out the food and drinks they carried. The old manager explained: "The government requires Xiao Yuan to stay in the chamber of commerce, otherwise I will take everyone to the beach for barbecue!"
Jiaoyi said it was okay, she was just as happy in the chamber of commerce.
So we let go of eating and drinking and chatted with each other about their own experiences. I like to listen, especially Jiaoyi's experience. She told everyone in detail about this shipwreck and the strange events that happened in the shipwreck.
After hearing this, these college students were silent. The old manager said: "The local rescue organization here did not receive any distress signals nearby. The waters where you encountered shipwrecks must be very far away from here!"
I said, "Yes, we fled on a plane during the shipwreck, but the plane crashed again in the middle of the journey. Jiaoyi and I fell into the sea. Fortunately, we encountered a passenger ship and were rescued!"
Jiaoyi added: "The shipwreck we encountered is definitely not just an ordinary storm. I also saw a huge wrist foot covered with suction cups. If this is really the wrist foot of an octopus, how big would the octopus be?"
Chai Jiakai answered the conversation and said: "According to the latest research results of marine biologists, some organisms there are huge sizes on the seabed thousands of meters deep, even larger than sperm whales, but they will not easily float on the surface of the sea."
These students were very interested in giant octopus. I drank too much local rum and said indifferently, slightly bragging: "I know several Taoist priests and can see ghosts. In fact, ghosts are a weak force. They are afraid of humans, and they are very fragile and can easily die!"
Chen Fei asked: "You said ghosts are very fragile and easily die. Ghosts are things that are produced after death. Will they die again?"
I answered with certainty: "Yes, this death is a complete death!"
A slim beauty with dark eyes asked me: "Teacher Yuan, can you really see ghosts?"
"Of course, I can see it as long as I close my eyes!" Although my answer was true, they sounded fake.
We chatted for a long time. The old manager raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He hurriedly said to the students: "Students, it's getting late, so let's leave. Teacher Yuan and Miss Jiaoyi are going to rest. We will meet again tomorrow!"
Chai Jiakai led all the classmates to say goodbye to us. Before leaving, he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to me, saying, "I learned that my compatriots are in trouble, I call on my classmates to donate this money to you, and you can take it and spend it!"
I wanted to refuse, but Chai Jiakai said to me: "Although this money is not much, it is our little intention. If I have the chance, I hope you can go to our school to play!"
All the students left the room one after another, but the female classmate just walked at the end. She looked at me and plucked up the courage and said, "Teacher Yuan, can I say a few words to you alone?"
I was busy and said of course she could, so she left the room and stopped at the stairs.
"You can say it!" I sent it out and told her.
The female classmate whispered: "My name is Ling Ruifan, and my English name is kairy. I have always had the same nightmare these days."
"What nightmare, can you tell me?" I asked Ling Ruifan.
She nodded and said, "As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep quickly, but I always dreamed that I entered a cemetery, surrounded by countless stone tablets and crosses, and a group of ragged zombies chased me. No matter how I escaped, I couldn't escape. I woke up by the bites of these zombies!"
I said with certainty: "Student Xiaoling, you don't have to be afraid. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this phenomenon a nightmare, and there is a way to treat it."
Ling Ruifan hurriedly asked, "I went to see a psychologist. She only prescribed sleeping pills for me, but it didn't work at all! Teacher Yuan, do you have a way to get me out of the nightmare?"
I nodded and responded, and went to the old pipe next to me: "It's common to treat nightmares, especially here!"
The old manager asked, "What's it?"
"Sandalwood!" I explained: "This place is called Honolulu because it is rich in sandalwood, which can calm the mind!"
The old manager nodded and agreed, pulled a cross from the collar under his neck, and said, "This cross is made of sandalwood of above all. In order to cure Xiao Ling's nightmare, I contributed it!"
I took the sandalwood cross and hung it on Ling Ruifan's neck, saying, "In order to verify this effect, I hope Uncle Guan can allow Uncle Ling to stay in the chamber of commerce tonight!"
The old manager agreed immediately, and Ling Ruifan hurriedly thanked him, but the old manager added: "But Xiao Ling wants to live with Miss Jiaoyi, and you and me are living together!"
I was a little confused, but the old Guan said, "Don't worry, I'm also for your safety!"
Ling Ruifan looked at Jiaoyi and asked for her opinion?
Jiaoyi expressed his willingness, so the two girls said goodbye to us and returned to the room. The old manager took me downstairs and entered his room.
The old manager's room is larger, and it has two bedrooms and one living room. The furniture inside is quite classical. He asked me to sit on the sofa and said, "I also have a son of your age, but he is studying in college in Los Angeles."
I was arranged to sleep in the study, and the old manager said that this was the room his son lived in when he came back.
The bookshelf in the room were filled with Chinese and English books, the most conspicuous one was "Thirty-Six Strategies". When I went to the bathroom to take a shower, the old man had already brought me a clean blood shirt and shorts and said, "This is my son's. You can wear it for the time being, and I will buy clothes for you tomorrow!"
