Chapter 47
The young mechanic drove Ronald to the center of Los Angeles and told him that there was a Greyhound bus stop here, where he could buy a ticket and take the bus to leave Los Angeles.
Carrying the US military backpack left by his uncle Steve, Ronald found the Greyhound bus terminal.
The house has already been rented out, so we should find other ways and return to New York as soon as possible.
The lighting in the lobby is not bright enough to justify the lack of maintenance of the interior.There are also iron bars on the ticket window.
Ronald carefully looked at the bus map on the wall. There is a bus to Las Vegas here, and then transfer there to go east all the way to New York.
I bought a Greyhound ticket to Las Vegas, walked out of the ticket hall, and prepared to wait for the bus.
The sky began to rain, Ronald put down his backpack, took out the M65 trench coat left by his uncle Steve, and put it on.
The Marine Corps version, which is darker than the Army's, is very weatherproof.With jeans on the upper and lower body, and a pair of New Balance running shoes on the feet, it is very suitable for outdoor hiking.
The Greyhound bus terminal is located in downtown Los Angeles. The environment is notoriously poor. There is garbage and standing water on the street, and the smell is very bad.
Ronald looked around for the waiting point, when suddenly someone spoke behind him.
"Hand over your money obediently, or I will make you look good."
As soon as he turned his head, two black buddies faced him with playful smiles.The smaller one threatened him with a knife.
Ronald took a quick look around, and at the same time said, "Here, don't hurt me." He put the change he got from buying tickets on the ground, and stepped back.
The little man squatted down to pick up the money, but the tall man rushed up.Ronald was vigilant in his heart, carefully avoided, and put him on the ground with a lame leg.Then he picked up his backpack and ran.
The tall man got up and chased after him. With a snap, he flipped on the switch of the switchblade in his hand, and the blade jumped out.
Ronald was startled. It turned out that he had hidden a switchblade in his hand. If he was close to him just now, it would be difficult to prevent the sudden knife.
Ronald used an American military bag in his hand, and a hole was punctured in the bag.Taking advantage of the situation, he stirred it with the bag, and the tall man's knife fell to the ground.
Ronald then turned and fled, and the little man followed suit.
However, the physical strength of the two seemed to be weak, and Ronald ran faster and faster, and he lost sight of the two in a blink of an eye.
The Greyhound ticket was lost during the fight, the change money was robbed, and the backpack of the American soldier left by Uncle was also scratched.Ronald never dared to go back downtown to take the Greyhound bus again.
The house has been returned, the car has been sold, and I still have to leave Los Angeles as soon as possible.
Before he knew it, Ronald had already run out of the dangerous area in the city center and ran to the vicinity of the University of Southern California.
There was a travel agency on the side of the road. Ronald walked in and begged the staff to pour him a glass of water while still in shock.
On duty today is a woman with a chest tag that says her name is Samantha.
Samantha saw that Ronald was sweating and covered a hole, and immediately realized that he was robbed.
"Since the Grand Commander took office in 77, the law and order in the city center has become worse and worse."
Ronald thanked Samantha and turned to look at the travel agency.Seeing the discounted air ticket advertisement board at the door, he asked, "Can you buy a non-stop air ticket to New York?"
"Of course, when do you want it? Er... sir"
"My name is Ronald, Ronald Lee, and the sooner the better."
Samantha made a few phone calls, "Earliest flight is National Airlines at 8:35 tomorrow morning, to JFK Airport in New York at 5:128 pm ET. The fare is $[-]."
Ronald calculated that if he didn't fly, he could buy the cheapest second-hand car for more than $200, and it's also a question of whether a broken car worth $200 can last to New York.
"Okay, I want one for tomorrow morning." Ronald took out the cash.
"Last year, the Congress passed a bill to cancel the government's guidance price for airlines. This year's air tickets are much cheaper, which happens to be a good time to travel."
After sending and receiving several faxes, Samantha printed out a ticket and gave it to Ronald for safekeeping.
"Will I be in time for the airport at 6:[-] tomorrow morning?" Ronald blurted out.
"Why do you have to go so early? Just arrive at the airport 20 minutes earlier."
Seeing that it was the first time for Ronald to travel by plane, Samantha gave him a popular science.
"You need to wear formal clothes when you fly, at least a suit and leather shoes, and you can wear a tie or not."
"Go to the check-in counter first and hand the ticket to the staff. If you don't smoke, you can ask for a non-smoking area. By the way, it's the first time you're flying, it's best to ask for a seat by the window."
"Lunch will be served on the plane, it's all free, no money."
"There are newspapers and magazines on the plane, but I suggest you bring a book to pass the time. It is also a good idea to chat with your neighbors."
"You can hail a taxi in advance tomorrow morning. If you want to save money, you can also take the Airport Express."
"Where is the Airport Express?"
"Van Nuys."
Ronald took the plane ticket, took the bus to Van Nuys, and found a Super 8 hotel not far from the airport express line to stay.
Walking casually on the street in the afternoon, I also saw several locations of "Rock High School" and the phone booth where I appeared in the photo.Not a bad way to spend your last day in Los Angeles.
Recalling Walter Murch's instructions, Ronald found a movie theater to watch the hottest movies and cultivate his aesthetic intuition.
The hottest movie right now is the new film from Oscar winner Laurence Olivier.
The title of the film is "A Little Romance", and on the poster, Laurence Oliver is wearing a formal suit, pointing to a little girl and saying: "She is the new Grace Kelly of the future."
"Huh? Being praised by the veteran Oscar actor, it seems that his acting skills are amazing."
"I'll buy a copy of Love to Settle the Sunset Bridge."
"It really is a good movie with a great story." Ronald didn't doze off this time.
An American girl went to work with her mother in Paris, and met the son of a local taxi driver. When they were dating, they met a liar played by Laurence Oliver.
Liars say that when couples go to Venice to ride a gondola and kiss under the sunset bridge, they will love each other for a lifetime.The two ran away from home and went to Venice, where they kissed under the Sunset Bridge to make love.
Ronald went out of the cinema and found the director's column on the movie poster.
George Roy Hill, Academy Award winner and director of "The Lie" and "Cubs," brings you "Love at Sunset Bridge."
It turned out to be another Oscar for Best Director. Ronald wrote down his name in his notebook, planning to learn more about it in the future.
Early the next morning, Ronald went out early, took the Airport Express train, and arrived at Los Angeles International Airport.
As Samantha from the travel agent said, check-in was easy.Ronald took the ticket and queued at the check-in desk.
"Non-smoking area, by the window."
The clerk retrieved the name using a huge computer.Put a sticker on his ticket with the seat number written on it and let him go.
"Please board the plane at Gate 4."
Ronald in a suit and leather shoes, wearing sunglasses, passed the boarding gate and entered the cabin door.There is also a couple saying goodbye outside the cabin door.The other person seeing off the passengers was at the door of the cabin, shaking his hands desperately towards the inside of the cabin.
found his seat.The stewardess helped him put the bag into the suitcase, Ronald took off his sunglasses and began to look around.
The stewardess saw his embarrassment, "Is this your first time flying a Boeing 727? Sir."
"It's my first time on a plane..."
After wiping his face with the hot towel that the stewardess handed him, Ronald looked around.There were not many people on the plane, and about half of the seats were not filled.
A faint smell of smoke wafted from the back of the cabin, and when I looked back, several passengers were puffing.
Hi, there is no partition between the non-smoking area and the smoking area.
After a while, the captain started broadcasting, "Good morning, passengers, I am the captain of this flight..."
The engine made a loud noise, and Ronald stared out the porthole.There was a strong push back feeling, and with a setback, the plane left the ground and began to ascend.
"Oh Shxt...flying is so exciting."
The first volume is over.
