Chapter 153: A Thousand Miles to Find Relatives (Part 1)
After a meal, it can be said that the guests and guests were having fun. Dai Bin was quite satisfied with the results he achieved today, so he insisted on sending Lin Xi. Lin Xi refused, so he agreed. After paying the bill, the two went downstairs together.
The two of them came to the hotel lobby talking and laughing. Lin Xi was also in a hurry to go back to school. There was still class to attend in the afternoon. After Dai Bin sent Lin Xi, he had to go back to work.
But as soon as the two arrived at the lobby, they saw a group of people surrounding the hotel door and blocked the door. They didn't know what happened. Dai Bin casually called a waiter and asked, "What's going on? Why did they block the door?"
The waiter happened to be on duty in the lobby, and he had just returned from the door and was about to find the manager. When Dai Bin asked her, she didn't dare to offend Dai Bin, so she hurriedly called other waiters to call the manager. She explained to Dai Bin: "I just came a beggar and insisted on coming in. The welcome lady at the door didn't stop him and asked him to break in." After saying that, he pointed to the door and continued: "Now, the security guard has come and finally drove him out, but he still stayed at the door and refused to leave, so he still insisted on breaking into here."
Lin Xi looked at the watch and was about to go to class. She couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Looking out, she found that the door was more lively and more people were watching. At this time, the manager happened to come. Seeing Dai Bin and Lin Xi having a fight, she was in a hurry to resolve the dispute. He was afraid that the matter would cause a big deal and affect the hotel's image.
Moreover, many guests were blocked in the lobby and could not leave. Those who could come here to eat were not rich, but they would not be able to pay for it if they delayed their affairs.
When Lin Xi saw the manager walking towards the door, he talked to Dai Bin and said, "Let's go over and take a look, let's make a way out later, so we can go quickly."
Dai Bin usually stays away from him when he encounters someone fighting in the street, and never goes to watch the excitement. He is afraid that these people will get red and meet him. People who know Dai Bin's identity certainly dare not provoke him, but these fights in the street are usually ordinary people or little hooligans. Who cares about what you are the eldest son of the Zhang family and the young master of the Li family? If you touch them, you will be unlucky. Even if you find these people to settle the score later, others will not be able to replace them.
But Dai Bin did not refuse the invitation to Lin Xi this time, because Dai Bin knew Lin Xi's kung fu, and even if something happened on the scene, Dai Bin believed that Lin Xi could protect himself. "Okay, go and take a look." Dai Bin was in a hurry to go back because there was still a small meeting in the afternoon.
The two walked to the door, but found that they could not squeeze in at all. Lin Xi could not use his skills to throw away all the people around him. He would have to be regarded as mentally ill. Besides, there was Dai Bin next to him. Even if he could squeeze out, it would not be difficult to leave Dai Bin here alone.
However, Lin Xi and Dai Bin stood outside and heard the whole thing clearly. It turned out that there were too many guests just now, and the lady who welcomed the guest was accidentally entered the hotel by an old man in rags. When the waiter in the lobby saw the old man, he began to politely want to invite the old man out, because the consumption in this hotel was high, and they knew that he could not come here to eat when looking at the old man's clothes. Moreover, the hotel also had regulations that guests with disheveled clothes were not allowed to enter.
But no matter what the waiter said, the old man refused to go out and kept trying to break inside and asked him what he wanted to do, but the old man couldn't understand, but he just kept muttering something "Erya".
The waiters were all little girls, and they couldn't push the old man, and they couldn't drive him away. In the end, they had to find the hotel security guard and faced several strong security guards. The old man still couldn't understand. The security guard thought that the old man was either mentally ill or came to make trouble on purpose, so he was not polite to the old man, and pushed the old man out of the hotel.
The old man was kicked out of the hotel and wanted to break into the hotel, but was stopped by several security guards. The old man tossed for a while, maybe he had no strength and sat on the steps at the entrance of the hotel and cried.
People passing by saw the old man sitting alone at the door of the hotel and crying. They all came to watch the fun. In the end, more and more people gathered. Onlookers with good things looked at the old man pitiful and asked what happened. The old man pointed at the hotel, but no matter how people asked, the old man didn't speak, just kept crying.
People couldn't help but wonder if the people in this hotel were bullying the old man with their power. In addition, several security guards were still standing not far from the old man, which further confirmed the speculation of these people. In the end, the unfair onlookers questioned several security guards.
Just when the door was still noisy, Lin Xi saw a little girl running out of the back hall of the hotel. She looked pretty and looked less than 20 years old, wearing a blue work clothes. She quickly walked through the lobby and ran to the outside of the crowd, and squeezed in desperately, but was blocked by the crowd. The little girl cried out in a hurry.
When the others saw the little girl crying anxiously, they gave way to the little girl in. Lin Xi also wanted to know what happened, so she told Dai Bin and squeezed in with the little girl.
The little girl squeezed into the middle of the crowd and saw the old man's eyes wide open. She didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, she shouted "Dad". She threw herself into the old man's arms. The old man hugged the little girl and stopped crying, but just gently stroked the girl's back, muttering something in her mouth.
Lin Xi also squeezed in at this time. If it weren't for Dai Bin just now, Lin Xi would have no trouble to come in. Lin Xi saw the old man. His head was like a bird's nest, with messy hair draped over his shoulders. It seemed that he hadn't been cut or washed. He was wearing a shabby military coat, which was probably not as clean as the mop that was used to wipe the floor in the hotel.
The fat military cotton pants on his lower body also exposed several large holes. He was wearing a pair of torn cotton shoes under his feet. I don’t know where he picked it up, but it became much bigger. The old man also had a stick next to him, and a big bag was tied to one end of the stick, bulging, and I don’t know what it was carrying.
The little girl cried for a while before she stopped her tears and asked the old man: "Dad, why are you here? How did you come so far?"
The old man looked at the little girl, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't make a sound. The little girl hurriedly advised, "Dad, don't be anxious, say slowly, how about mom? Is the family okay?" He said that he would not let the old man worry, but the problems were one after another.
The old man opened his mouth for a long time and finally said a word, "Okay."
At this time, the young people who had a sense of justice who had just had to argue with the security guards didn't care about the argument with the security guards. When they saw the little girl knowing the old man, they all came over to ask what was going on.
Although the little girl came late, she knew that these young people were good people. She bowed deeply to the young people and said, "Thank you." The young people were confused, not sure what was going on, but just said, "No thanks, no thanks."
The little girl said to the security guards standing aside again: "I'm sorry, please trouble you." The security guards seemed to know the little girl and said embarrassedly: "Just now, I didn't know he was you..."
