Chapter 16 Floating City
After buying the high-speed rail ticket to Fucheng at the automatic ticket machine, Li Na walked towards the waiting hall.
When he was queuing at the entrance of the station, he saw the staff in front of him checking tickets and ID cards, and suddenly remembered that he was still underage, so he might not be able to take the high-speed rail alone.
What should I do?
Li Na had a flash of inspiration. When he was in the queue, he handed his ID card and ticket to the staff, picked up his mobile phone and said, "Auntie, I have already entered the station. Are you sitting in the third row? Oh, I I saw you, I'll come right in."
After successfully getting back his ID and train ticket from the staff, Li Na took a seat next to a middle-aged woman in the third row and sat down after entering the station.
Looking at the high-speed train to Fucheng on the screen, there are still 10 minutes to arrive, Li Na's expression is a little dazed, is it right for him to do this?
There is a message reminder on the phone, it was sent by my mother——
Mama Li: I never thought that my son would not forget to make soup for his mother when he went out to play. I am the happiest mother in the world.
Li Na: Is the soup delicious?
Mama Li: It’s delicious, and the cake is delicious too. Alas, it’s going to weigh three catties again.
At this time, the radio in the bus hall began to remind passengers of the bus to Fucheng that they could check in soon. Li Na replied, "Mom won't be fat even if she weighs [-] catties", and followed the flow of people to line up.

After getting out of the Fucheng high-speed rail station, Li Na first bought a mask in a small store nearby.
There were people staring at his face along the way just now, and the aunt sitting across from him spoke to him softly.
Why sometimes parents beat their children only when they are angry.
Why do you have to talk to your parents frequently when you go out alone?
Why be wary of strangers outside, don't just eat what strangers give you.
After the aunt finished speaking, she handed the peeled oranges to Li Na.
Li Na: ...You are also a stranger.
But he still accepted his aunt's kindness. The other party probably regarded him as a child who was slapped by his parents and ran away from home in anger.
And with the aunt nagging in his ear, Li Na's feeling of being beaten for doing good deeds has also eased a lot.
After buying the masks, Li Na saw that it was already three o'clock in the morning, so he went to a KFC and bought a cup of hot coffee to occupy a corner.
Other people's search strategy is to check the most popular and popular places, and then go to those attractions.
But Li Na did the opposite. He crossed off those popular places one by one, and he couldn't go there. He just went to see the head.
That's all, Floating City Botanical Garden.
—
Probably because of the bad luck of the year.
Sitting in the public security management office of the Floating City Botanical Garden, Li Na sadly recalled what happened after entering high school.
Bullied by Ji Li, misunderstood by Liao Sijie, extorted by the grandmother's family, and now caught here as a thief.
Just half an hour ago, Li Na saw someone stealing from a store at the entrance of the scenic spot. After he bought water and bread in the store, he kindly reminded the owner of the store when he paid. bar of chocolate.
Li Na didn't know when these two chocolates were added to his pocket.
Coupled with the fact that he was wearing a mask, he looked even more suspicious.
In the end, Li Na and the thief were escorted by the owner to the public security management office of the scenic spot.
It's a pity that although surveillance cameras were installed in the store, they didn't cover them completely, and didn't take pictures of the whole process of the thief stealing and framing.Li Na blamed Li Na for putting something in his pocket while he was not paying attention, and Li Na also said the same thing.
The shop owner also wanted to calm down and ask them to pay three times the price of the stolen things as compensation.
The thief cried and refused to cooperate, shouting that he was wronged.
Li Na was also unwilling to pay. He was allergic to chocolate, so why would he pay three times the price for something he didn't eat?
He thought of the grievance he felt when he was wronged in the hospital two days ago.

Seeing the call from Li Na, Ji Li raised his eyebrows. The deskmate who never took the initiative to communicate with him actually called?
He then said in a lazy tone, "Li Na, I didn't expect you to call me—"
"Do you know anyone in the floating city?" Li Na interrupted him.
"Floating City? You're not following me, are you?" Ji Li was a little surprised.
Ji Li has been a guest at his grandma's house in Fucheng since yesterday, and his dear grandma cooks soybean and pig's feet soup for him, hoping that his knee will recover soon.
At this moment, Ji Li was just worrying about the steaming bowl of soybean trotter soup.
He was really tired of drinking, but the grandma sitting opposite looked at him with caring eyes, so he had no choice but to take the bowl of soup as if he were dead.
It was at this time that Li Na's call came in.
Li Na didn't pay attention to Ji Li's question of whether to follow or not, and his tone was mixed with panic: "I'm at the Fucheng Police Station now, can you find an adult to come and pretend to be my elder?"
He thought that with Ji Li's family conditions, there should be contacts in the surrounding cities of Yuncheng.
"Police station?" Ji Li was a little overwhelmed.
Li Na continued: "As long as you help me this time, I will do whatever you ask me to do this semester. There is no difference, and there is no charge."
He didn't wait for Ji Li's response, and hurriedly added: "It's really impossible to add another semester!"
Ji Li was just stunned when he heard that Li Na was in the police station. What did his good deskmate with all five virtues, four virtues and three loves do?
Ji Li: "I'll come right away."
He thought happily, finally there is a reason not to drink soup, Li Na is really a good tablemate in China!
"Ji Li, your leg is still hurting. Where are you going? Drink the soup first!"
After Grandma Ji finished speaking, Ji Li was nowhere to be seen.
"Little bastard, you can run so fast with a leg injury and a plaster cast."
Grandma Ji poured her carefully prepared soybean trotter soup back into the pot to keep warm, and planned to serve it to her grandson when he came back.
—
Ji Li originally planned to let his driver pretend to be Li Na's uncle and take Li Na out of the police station, but he didn't feel his feet hurting from watching the excitement, so he went in for a visit, and learned about what happened by the way.
"Oh, my younger brother may like to pretend to be poor too much." Ji Li sighed, and glanced at Jaeger-LeCoultre on his wrist, "It's almost one o'clock, brother, haven't you had lunch yet? It's okay, wait until the matter is resolved Let's go home, grandma has prepared pig's trotter soup for you."
Ji Li patted Li Na's shoulder affectionately, and said to everyone in the police station: "I just heard that someone suspected my brother of stealing something. In fact, it's very simple. It can't be checked by surveillance, but fingerprints can always be checked."
"The case is too small, you can solve it in private." The police officer added, "It was just a trivial matter, but neither your brother nor that person wanted to admit it. The shop owner got angry and called the police."
"Is it a trivial matter to be accused of stealing?" Ji Li, who was still smiling just now, suddenly became serious.
Although he was only 15 years old, he already had the air of an adult. The police officer he was talking to had just graduated and was still very young, so he didn't know how to answer.
"I heard that you are wronging my brother, right?" Ji Li came to the thief leaning on a cane.
The thief who was still biting on Li Na just now, and who had no fear in front of the police officers, faltered in front of Ji Li, even though he was still on crutches.
Ji Li thought proudly, school bullies have not pretended to be white these years.
The cowardly thief immediately admitted: "No, no, I stuffed those two pieces of chocolate into your brother's pocket. I heard he was complaining to the boss, so I stuffed them casually."
"It's powerful enough to be stuffed casually. The surveillance didn't capture it, and the shopkeeper didn't see it either."
After Ji Li finished speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper again.
The shopkeeper was silent.
"It's not good, it's not good, practice makes perfect, just like a magician playing magic tricks, as long as you can do it quickly and divert the attention of others." The thief boasted humbly.
"So uncle policeman, can my silly brother go?" Ji Li said to the policeman again.
"Okay." Now that the thief admitted, the policeman let Li Na and the others go.
Called uncle by a tall male high school student, the police officer who has just graduated is a little bit stuffed.
Ji Li wanted to say a few more words, but Li Na stepped forward and tugged his sleeve, motioning him to stop talking and leave the police station first.
After getting into Ji's car, when the driver of Ji's family asked Li Na where he was going, Li Na couldn't answer.
In the early morning, he only planned today's itinerary, which was to go to the botanical garden, but after this shit happened, he didn't have much interest in the botanical garden.
Seeing Li Na's expression, Ji Li guessed that he might have nowhere to go, so he said to the driver, "Go to my grandma's house first."
—
"Hey, what kind of child is this? He looks so cute!"
Li Na was praised as soon as he entered Grandma Ji's house. Grandma Ji stuffed the freshly warmed pig's trotter soup into Li Na's hand: "Drink quickly, haven't you had lunch yet?"
"I ate." Li Na replied softly.
But the steaming soup smelled really good, so he still took it and drank it slowly.
"Grandma, don't listen to this little idiot. You'll stay in the police station all afternoon, and wait until the police want to notify the parents before calling for help." Ji Li said.
"Hey, such an obedient child knows that he won't steal things at a glance! Are those people blind?" Grandma Ji looked at Li Na who was obediently drinking soup with a kind face, "Your face is What's going on? Did they fight? This is too much!"
"That was beaten by another group of people the day before yesterday." Ji Li saw that Li Na was helping him with the pig's trotter soup, so he helped explain, "Helping an old man to go to the hospital instead was beaten by her unfilial son."
"Hey, kid, don't do good deeds. You are against good deeds. Why is your face so swollen after being beaten the day before yesterday?" Grandma Ji was very distressed, "And Ji Li, please talk to me , what kind of little fool is so old and ugly."
Ji Li held up his hands in surrender.
"I'm fine." Li Na finished the soup.
"Do you want another bowl?" Grandma Ji asked kindly.
"No, no, it's for Ji Li's body. I've had enough." Li Na picked up the bowl and walked towards the kitchen.
Grandma Ji saw Li Na's intentions, stood up and snatched the bowl from Li Na's hand: "There's no reason to ask customers to wash the dishes, look at your dark circles, hurry up and take a nap."
Grandma Ji looked at Ji Li again: "Why don't you take your classmate to your bedroom to take a nap?"
Poor Ji Li still had to take Li Na upstairs on crutches.
Li Na thought that Ji Li would make fun of him, but Ji Li sent him to the door of the bedroom and left.
After opening the bedroom door, Li Na found that this was an ordinary boy's room. There was a bed slightly wider than a single bed on the side of the room, covered with a sky-blue quilt. Next to the bed was a desk. There is a bookshelf on the top, on which are some must-read classics for middle school students, as well as half-made models.
Ji Li's grandmother's house is an ordinary self-built house, with only the living room, kitchen and utility room downstairs.
There are only two bedrooms upstairs, and this one is probably specially prepared by Grandma Ji for Ji Li.
