Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 10 Ten Words
A few minutes later, Jiang You's head popped out again.
Take off your glasses.
At this moment, a splash of water hit his face.
He squinted his eyes and saw a bigger splash of water falling down.
Put on your glasses and stand up.
Jiang Mo paddled with his hands and swam away. His hands were quite short and he swam at a very high speed.
Jiang You took five or six steps forward and caught up with Jiang Mo.
A water splash war began.
After the father and son played for a while, Jiang You once again leaned against the edge of the swimming pool and half floated. He pulled the swimming ring on Jiang Mo's body, pulled it closer, pushed it away, and then pulled it back again, "Today is the fourth day of the New Year. You owe me forty words."
Jiang Mo glanced at Jiang You.
"Sawadee ka..."
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Jiang Mo closed his mouth.
"Can't you learn some Tang and Song poems?"
The noise started again.
Jiang You glanced in the direction of the voice and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Jiang You took off the swimming ring from Jiang Mo, carried him out of the swimming pool, and walked back to the villa.
Jiang Mo lay on his shoulder and looked outside.
"Let's go eat first, then watch the sunset here, have a drink, and buy some snacks..."
"There are few people here, but there are no suitable diving spots. We will go to see the big turtles tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. We also want to see elephants and explore the jungle."
They went into the bathroom, rinsed Jiang Mo and themselves with water, and after changing into clean clothes, they went to the restaurant by the beach. After sitting down by the window, the waiter brought them the menu.
Ordered Tom Yum Goong soup, charcoal grilled pork neck, curry crab and mango sticky rice, and two cups of Thai milk tea.
While waiting for the food to be served, Jiang You took out his cell phone.
4G signal is very good.
He took a few photos of the beach outside the floor-to-ceiling window and picked one to post on his Moments.
Caption: Watching the sunset with my son.
The waiter brought the milk tea first.
Jiang You took a sip. It was very cold and sweet.
Two female guests were led to an empty table behind them and sat down, one with long hair and the other wearing glasses.
They chatted while looking at the menu.
They speak Chinese.
Long-haired girl: "The deepest part of the pool is 1.5 meters. How could I drown?"
The girl with glasses nodded. "Yes, I heard it was a boy. He shouldn't be very short. Fortunately, he was rescued."
"Tell me, could it be that woman who did it on purpose..."
"No way , if you really want to do that, go to the beach, find a place with few people..."
Jiang You listened for a while.
Soon, all the dishes were served.
Jiang You drank a sip of Tom Yum Goong soup first, then he picked up the bowl with minced ginger, scooped him a bowl of soup, and put the prawns in the soup into it.
He said, "Try this soup. It's sour and spicy, and very appetizing."
Then Jiang You scooped himself a bowl of mango sticky rice.
"This is delicious, completely different from the mangoes in Tangjiang. I really want to take some back. Forget it, I'll just take some dried mangoes back."
After Jiang You finished a bowl of glutinous rice, he started to eat crabs.
"The curry here is indeed richer in taste than what Tang Jiang had," he watched Jiang Mo staring at the prawns in the bowl, motionless, so he peeled some crab meat, put it in the crab shell, and put it on Jiang Mo's plate, "Eat it."
Jiang Mo picked up the spoon.
"Hey, look! That's the woman."
The long-haired girl lowered her voice.
Jiang You turned his head and saw a man and a woman walking into the restaurant. The man was very tall, at least 1.8 meters tall, with a muscular body, and it was obvious that he had trained specially. The woman had a pretty face, wearing a light-colored floral dress, and her hair was braided into a pigtail that fell on one shoulder.
The girl with long hair and the girl with glasses were talking in low voices.
The girl with glasses said, "It's so high, there's no way he could drown, right?" She glanced at the girl with long hair and said, "I heard Thailand is a pretty spooky place, maybe in the swimming pool..."
Jiang You's gaze stayed on the man for a moment and then immediately turned away.
The setting sun dyed the sea and the sky golden red, and the boundary between the sea and the sky was blurred.
Jiang You took a bite of the pork neck, which was crispy on the edges and tender on the inside, lean with some fat. Jiang You finished half the plate in one go.
He scooped himself a bowl of soup, "It tastes good if you drink a few more sips, right?"
He took out his phone and looked at the comments and likes on his Moments.
Sun Yu asked him in the comments: Are you recruiting talents?
Jiang You replied him: It’s in the pet shop.
After eating and drinking, Jiang You held Jiang Mo and walked on the beach, stepped into the sea water, drank coconut juice, strolled around, found a convenience store and bought two shopping bags of snacks and drinks, and then they returned to the villa.
Jiang You lay down on the bed.
Jiang Mo looked out the window.
"If you want to go out, go ahead. But don't play too crazy and remember to come back to sleep." Jiang You took out a bottle of Coke from his shopping bag, opened a bag of snacks, and started browsing on his phone.
I read travel guides and food introductions for a while, and after reading today's novel updates, I found that there were a few more authors who got drunk and stopped updating.
The internet speed seemed to slow down, so he connected to the hotel's wifi.
The sky became completely dark.
He found a science fiction film and after watching it for a while, he felt his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier.
He let go of the phone and it fell to the ground.
He turned over and fell asleep hugging the quilt.
Sound of rain.
No, it's the sound of water.
Into his ears.
heavy.
The quilt seemed to be completely soaked with water, pressing against him and sucking away the warmth from his body.
Cover his face.
Breathing becomes difficult.
Layer upon layer, covering his face.
water.
asphyxia……
He opened his eyes.
In the corner of the room, there is a spider web.
He sat up and the man he had seen in the restaurant was standing at his window.
The face is a little blurry.
A spider silk thread was wrapped around his wrist.
Jiang You turned his head and saw Jiang Mo sitting on the windowsill , swinging his legs and looking at him.
Jiang You sighed, he threw back the quilt, stood up, and walked to Jiang Mo, "Do you know that we are still celebrating the New Year? According to our Chinese tradition, we have to rest on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and then go back to work after the Lantern Festival, do you know that?"
"Why do you come to a foreign country to steal business if you have nothing to do?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I meant one per month, and you said one sentence per day. You..."
"Stop! Don't say Sawadee Ka..."
"One gets one."
“Four words.”
"The moon shines brightly before my bed."
"nine."
"dad."
"You win."
The half-moon was faintly visible in the misty clouds.
Jiang Mo jumped off the windowsill.
Jiang You sighed, turned around and walked to the bedside, "Are you Thai? I can't speak Thai, and I don't speak English either..."
"I am Chinese."
"You're already dead. Do you have any words that you want me to bring to your parents? Or do you have any wishes that are easier to fulfill, such as buying some herbal ointment, crocodile skin, latex pillows, etc."
The man looked at Jiang You and said word by word: "I can't die."
