Chapter 26 Lash out at Each Other
Everyone followed Ebony to stand up.
At this time, a bus was coming.
Ebony got on the bus first.
The others were stunned.
They were thinking, 'How dare she get on the bus? She has no money. Does she want to ride on the bus without paying the fare?'
"Come on," Ebony frowned and shouted.
The others got on it with hesitation.
Ebony didn't insert coins into the slot but just showed the driver the tickets. The driver didn't say anything and watched them get on the bus.
After sitting down, Teri asked cautiously, "How can you take the bus without paying the fare? " Her voice was very low as if she was afraid that the driver would find out that they didn't pay.
Ebony said coldly, "I bought the tickets on the first day we arrived."
She raised her eyelids slightly and said, "People can buy tickets in advance in some foreign countries. So we don't need to insert coins every time we take it. I thought we need to take a bus in the coming days, so I bought the tickets for three days at a time on the first day we got off the plane after comparing the price of taking a taxi and a bus. Besides, I cut the coupons on the traveling brochures on the plane and special discounts are offered for foreigners here. I still have some in my bag and it's enough for tomorrow's trip."
Every one of them was surprised.
-- [Haha great.]
-- [She's the same as my mom. She always buys many goods when there's a discount. They are useful anyway.]
-- [Alright, the transportation has been solved. How about food and accommodation?]
-- [Rita, you bitchy orphan who had an abortion in high school, how dare you slander Venny with your filthy mouth? Wish you get hit by cars when you go out!]
-- [Another lunatic ran out of the lunatic asylum again?]
-- [Administrator, work it out. Block their accounts. Go to Twitter if you want to lash out at each other. Don't interrupt us while we are watching the show.]
-- [Yes. We don't care about what on earth happened between Vernon and Rita. We just want to quietly watch how awesome Ebony is.]
-- [Ebony hit Vernon without reason. She's the same as a hooligan. It's better to be a fan of shit than of her.]
-- [What? As for the fans of "Ebony, the most sharp-tongued troll in the entertainment industry", it seems that someone is going to challenge us? Fine, come on, you rubbish.]
The audience started to quarrel continuously in the direct broadcasting room.
The administrator blocked so many accounts that the computer almost crashed.
But the people who were recording the show didn't know it.
Ebony took the other five people to transfer again and again... Of course, there was no extra charge for the transfer, and it was free to transfer within one hour.
An hour later, they finally arrived in front of a... villa.
A villa?
Everyone looked at Ebony dumbfounded.
Ebony didn't explain and just walked over to it and rang the doorbell.
Soon, a young couple came out. They talked much with Ebony.
Rita couldn't understand it at all and asked behind Ebony in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Teri understood a little bit, but she was still confused because they were talking too quickly.
She turned around to ask Lloyd who was on the other side, "Lloyd, do you know what they are talking about?"
Lloyd said indifferently, "She's asking for lodging."
"Asking for lodging?" Jacob was stunned, "Can we ask for lodging?"
Others were also thinking, 'Can we ask for lodging? Does the show allow it?'
After the conversation, the hospitable owner of the villa led Ebony and others into the house.
As soon as they entered, they found that the owner of the villa must be interested in traveling very much. The photo wall at the door was all full of photos of traveling in other places. Moreover, there were many photos of sitting on different sofas with different people.
The cameraman moved the lens to those photos.
-- [??? I don't understand if they ask a friend for lodging? Can they do it?]
-- [Are they friends? It seems that they are not familiar with Ebony.]
-- [ As for an experienced backpacker, I just want to say haha!]
-- [As for a backpacker, I think Ebony is awesome. I don't expect her to find this way. When did she join them on earth? I'm going to die laughing!]
-- [Is there anyone tell me what's going on?]
Many audiences were asking what was going on on the bullet screen.
While Ebony was explaining to others on the scene, "They are couchsurfers."
Couchsurfers were a unique culture that was popular with backpackers.
Couchsurfers evidently meant that "sleep on someone else's couch". It roughly meant that both of them were travel enthusiasts. One of them would sleep on the other's couch in his house when traveling in his country. And he would show him the local food, scenic spots, and culture. And if the other traveled in his country next time, he would also invite him to live in his house, sleep on his couch, and also show him the local scenic spots, food, and culture.
It was called couch-surfing on the Internet.
"Couchdurfers" was a way to communicate among backpackers. Ordinary people might not understand it but they would know it if they searched it on the Internet.
Jacob looked at Ebony in confusion, "And you know about it?"
If one was not a travel enthusiast, they knew nothing about such an unknown culture.
Ebony said naturally, "I applied for membership on the official website of couchsurfer when we went to Freolor last time in case we will sleep out on the streets. And I have been in touch with them these days."
Jacob couldn't help but gave her a thumbs up!
Rita and Teri behind her also gave her a thumbs up!
Ebony didn't want to talk to them but continued chatting about traveling with the young couple who loved traveling.
Most of the time, it was not Ebony speaking but the couple. They would talk for an hour about a photo and what they talked about was the local customs and practices conducted in that country when they were traveling there since they were true travel lovers.
After introducing the photos, they also showed them their videos of bungee jumping and skydiving.
Ebony showed great interest in it and got along very happily with them.
She made them feel very happy, and they offered them a very big lunch.
Rita said with tears, "Ebony seems to force a smile in order to make us have food to eat."
Teri chuckled and patted her on the forehead, "Don't let her hear what you said or she will kill you!"
The atmosphere that had been gloomy for a day and a night seemed to become brighter with the lunch offered by a stranger in a foreign country.
The fragrance of flowers in the backyard garden in the afternoon was intense.
Ebony finally got away from the enthusiastic young couple for a few minutes.
There came a sound beside her when she was standing to slack off in the garden.
When turning around, she saw a tall man in a white shirt who was standing there and staring at her with a mobile phone in one hand and the other hand in the pocket of his pants.
He was thinly dressed. It was probably because there was heating in the room and he didn't put on his coat when he made a phone call outside.
The cold wind in winter was blowing at this time.
Ebony felt so cold that she shrank her neck. She looked at Lloyd standing across from her, "Aren't you cold?"
Lloyd did not answer her and walked past her.
When they passed by, Ebony suddenly grabbed Lloyd's arm.
The cold wind was still blowing mercilessly.
Lloyd stood there. He was so slender and tall that he needed to lower his head when looking at Ebony who only reached his chest.
He slightly lowered his dark eyes, "What's up?"
