Chapter 134: The First Meeting of Marlene (Chapter 8)
Look at this car. Although he can be taken on the boat, he thought he should forget it. After all, it was stolen. It would be better to sell it here and buy another one when he arrives in Sicily. The most important thing is that he doesn't like this pure black car very much.
It is easy to sell a car. There is a special second-hand car dealer in the city. Jiang Hao drove the car over and the boss checked it. It was 80% new and the car was in good condition. He was willing to buy it for 4,300 lira.
Although he didn't know the specific price of the car, he understood one thing. The boss must have lowered the purchase price and bargained for a long time. Finally, he sold it at 5,500 lira.
I bought a boat ticket and waited here for a day, and finally got on the boat to Sicily.
Looking at the sea, Jiang Hao felt comfortable and finally was about to see the beautiful Malena. He was still a little excited now.
Two days later, the cruise ship finally arrived in Palermo, Sicily. Jiang Hao got off the boat. Palermo is the capital of Sicily and the largest city in Sicily. It is very prosperous and has beautiful scenery everywhere. It was once praised by Dante as "the most beautiful city in the world."
If he was traveling, Jiang Hao would definitely make a good trip here, but now Jiang Hao doesn't have time to appreciate these things, so he wants to find Malena as soon as possible.
Although the movie does not say what the place where Malena is, it is just called a small town, Jiang Hao checked the location where the director filmed the movie, in Syracuse City, and to get from Palermo to Syracuse, he needed to travel across the entire Sicily.
So Jiang Hao needs a car.
When he arrived at the car shop, he looked at Jiang Hao in a straight suit. The boss came up to entertain him warmly and introduced various cars to Jiang Hao. Finally, Jiang Hao's eyes were attracted by a purple car.
It's so beautiful.
Even if he is used to cars in the future, Jiang Hao thinks this car is simply too beautiful.
The boss could tell at a glance that Jiang Hao liked this car and began to promote it hard, "Sir, this car has a perfect model, genuine leather seats, pure walnut decoration, and the latest V12 engine. It can be as fast as an airplane, with a very fashionable appearance but noble and elegant, which is most suitable for a young and identifiable person like you."
"The convertible design makes it feel the most enjoyable to take a female companion for a ride. Of course, if the weather changes, you can set up a rain shelter behind you."
“…”
After the boss Balabala for a long time, Jiang Hao asked: "How much is it."
"Thirty-two thousand lira." The boss showed the most beautiful smile he thought was.
Damn, it's really expensive.
Now an ordinary worker in Italy can earn hundreds of lira a month, and they need to buy this car for several years without eating or drinking.
The car was sold for only 5,500 lira before, but this car costs 32,000 yuan, but this car is really good-looking.
So, a good car is a good car, and it is a luxury at all times.
Now Jiang Hao has 55,000 lira in his hand, and it is indeed a bit extravagant to spend half of it to buy a car. However, a good car is very important to a person and he cannot save money that should be spent.
"Can you be cheaper?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Oh, it's already very cheap. The damn war has made people tighten their pockets, otherwise his price will be higher." The boss raised his hands and put on a sad expression.
“Thirty thousand at most.”
"Oh, no, a noble gentleman like you must have no shortage of two thousand lira, right?"
"No, no one is short of money now."
"Okay, I'll give you a discount of 500, no more."
The two sides bargained again, and finally the deal was completed with a 31,000-lier deal. The boss accompanied a box of oil and a manual pump.
I looked for a hotel to rest for one night, and I was knocked on the door again in the evening. This time the woman my boss sent was much more beautiful than the last time and had a good figure. When I saw Jiang Hao, I couldn't help but glancing at me. It seemed that I liked him very much, but Jiang Hao still refused.
I got up early the next day, started to set off at five o'clock, and drove to Syracuse. If it was Hyundai, I could drive for three hours. But now it is 1940, and the road conditions are not good, so it takes more than twice as long.
Finally, in the afternoon, Jiang Hao rushed to Syracuse, a beautiful small town. Jiang Hao saw several buildings that appeared in the movie and knew that he had finally found the right place.
I drove to the beach with a familiar gravel road, and there was a vast sea outside, with seabirds flying by in the blue sky from time to time.
Jiang Hao saw the house at a glance.
There is a big tree in the yard.
That's right, it's Malena's home.
At this moment, Jiang Hao felt his heartbeat accelerated, and he rushed thousands of miles and finally arrived.
Suddenly, Jiang Hao saw a group of thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys sitting on the terrace by the sea, with several bicycles placed next to them.
Jiang Hao laughed secretly.
Because he saw one of the little guys, the protagonist of this movie, the guy named Reinardo.
Jiang Hao's car stopped not far from the group of children, got out of the car and lit a cigarette, and then slowly walked to the group of children. His tall figure made the children feel oppressed, and they all jumped off the stone platform to look at the man.
"Hello, I want to inquire about something." Jiang Hao asked.
The other children looked at Jiang Hao blankly. After all, they were still children, so only Reinado replied: "Are you here to find Marlena too?"
Jiang Hao was stunned.
Well, this is indeed his purpose, but this is not what he is asking about.
But through this child's words, he affirmed one thing, this is Malena's residence in the movie.
"Who is Malena?" Jiang Hao asked knowingly.
Only then did Reinado realize that this person was not here to look for Malena and asked, "Are you not a local?"
Jiang Hao shrugged easily, "Yes, I came from Rome, I am a painter, Sicily is very beautiful, I am going to stay here for a while and collect folk songs."
"I know, there were artists who came here before. I used to watch him draw next to him. He told me that he would become a painter like Mimo Rodra, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Provino." said one of the little guys.
"He's bragging," said another little guy.
"Haha, I think so too, but artists are always confident."
Jiang Hao was a little dark-faced, and was teased by a group of children. He took out 5 lira from his pocket and said, "I want to ask if there are any houses for rent nearby, it's best to be by the beach."
Seeing the money, the boys immediately stopped their mouths, their eyes shining, and some people couldn't help swallowing.
"I know sir, I can take you there," said one of the oldest children.
"Very good, these 5 liras are yours."
At this moment, Jiang Hao found that the children's eyes were all turned, and they were fixed there. He followed the children's gaze and saw a wide variety of figures coming from afar.
It's Malena.
