Chapter 133 Seeing Malena for the First Time (Chapter 8 for Subscription)
Look at this car, although it can be brought on board, but he thinks it's okay. After all, it was stolen. It is better to sell it here and buy another one in Sicily. The most important thing is that he is not very Love this solid black car.
Selling a car is easy. There is a special used car dealership in the city. Jiang Hao drove the car over, and the boss checked it. It was 80% new and in good condition. He was willing to pay 4,300 lire to buy it.
Although he doesn't know the exact price of the car, he understands a truth. The boss must have kept the purchase price very low, and bargained with the pair for a long time, and finally settled at 5,500 lire.
I bought the ticket, waited here for a day, and finally got on the boat to Sicily.
Looking at the sea, Jiang Hao felt at ease. He was finally going 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 disembarked. Palermo is the capital of Sicily and the largest city in Sicily. ."
If he was traveling, Jiang Hao would definitely take a good look around here, but now Jiang Hao doesn't have time to appreciate these, he has to find Malena as soon as possible.
Although the movie didn't say what the name of the place where Malena was, it was just called a small town, but Jiang Hao checked the location where the director filmed the movie, which was in Syracuse, and had to reach Syracuse from Palermo. , you need to travel through the whole of Sicily.
So Jiang Hao needs a car.
When I came to the car shop, I saw Jiang Hao in a neat suit. The boss came up to greet him warmly and introduced various cars to Jiang Hao. In the end, Jiang Hao's eyes were attracted by a purple car.
It's so pretty.
Even if he is used to seeing the cars in the market, Jiang Hao thinks this car is simply too beautiful.
The boss saw that Jiang Hao liked this car at a glance, and began to promote it vigorously, "Look, sir, this car has a perfect model, leather seats, pure walnut wood trim, and the latest V12 engine, the speed can be like an airplane. It's as fast as it gets, and it's very stylish yet elegant, and it's perfect for someone like you who is young and has a lot of status."
"The open-top design makes it the most comfortable to take a female companion for a ride. Of course, if the weather changes, you can put up a canopy at the back."
""
After the boss Barabala for a long time, Jiang Hao asked, "How much is it."
"Thirty-two thousand lire." The boss showed what he thought was the most beautiful smile.
Come on, it's really expensive.
Now an ordinary worker in Italy can only earn a few hundred lire a month, and they need to eat and drink for a few years before they can buy this car.
The previous car only sold for 5,500 lire, but this one costs 32,000, but this car is really nice.
Therefore, a good car is a good car, and it is a luxury at all times.
Now Jiang Hao has 55,000 lire in his hand, and it is indeed a bit extravagant to spend half of it on a car. However, a good car is very important to a person, and the money that should be spent cannot be saved.
"Can it be cheaper?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Oh, it's already very cheap. The damn war has made people hold their pockets tightly, otherwise his price will be higher." The boss raised his hands and put on a sad expression.
"Up to thirty thousand."
"Oh, no, a noble gentleman like you must not be short of two thousand lire, right?"
"No, everyone is short of money now."
"Okay, I'll give you a discount of 500, no more."
The two sides negotiated again, and finally 31,000 lire was sold, and the boss gave a tank of oil and a manual pump.
I went to a hotel to rest for a night, and I was knocked on the door again in the evening. This time, the woman sent by the boss was much more beautiful than the last time, and her figure was also good. After seeing Jiang Hao, she couldn't help but wink, and it seemed that she liked him very much. But Jiang Hao still refused.
I got up early the next day, started at 5 o'clock, and drove to Syracuse. If it was modern, I could drive there in three hours, but now in 1940, the road conditions are not good, and the time required is twice as long. more.
Finally, in the afternoon, Jiang Hao arrived at Syracuse, which is a beautiful small town. Jiang Hao saw several buildings that appeared in the movie and knew that he had finally found the right place.
Driving to the seaside, the familiar stone road, the vast sea outside, and the blue sky with seabirds flying over from time to time.
Jiang Hao saw the house at a glance.
There is a big tree in the yard.
That's right, that's Malena's home.
At this moment, Jiang Hao felt his heart beating faster. He rushed for 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 a few bicycles beside them.
Jiang Hao smiled secretly.
Because he saw one of the little guys, the protagonist of this movie, the guy named Reynardo.
Jiang Hao's car stopped not far from the group of children, got out of the car and lit a cigarette, and then walked slowly to the group of children. His tall stature made several children feel oppressed, and they rushed out of the stone. He jumped off the stage and looked at the man.
"Hello, I want to inquire about something." Jiang Hao asked.
The other children stared at Jiang Hao blankly. After all, they were still children, and only Reynardo responded, "Are you here to find Malena too?"
Jiang Hao was taken aback.
Well, that's really his purpose, but that's not what he's asking about.
But through this child's words, he affirmed one thing, this is the residence of Malena in the movie.
"Who is Malena?" Jiang Hao asked knowingly.
Only then did Reinaldo know that this person was not looking for Malena, and asked, "Aren't you a local?"
Jiang Hao shrugged lightly, "Yes, I'm from Rome, I'm a painter, Sicily is very beautiful, I'm going to live here for a while to collect the wind."
"I know that there were artists who came here before, I used to watch him paint next to him, and he told me he would become a painter like Mimo Rodella, Raphael, Michelangelo, Provino ." said one of the little guys.
"He's bragging," said the other little guy.
"Hehe, I think so too, but the artist is always full of confidence."
Jiang Hao's face was a little dark, and he was actually ridiculed by a group of children. He took out 5 lire from his pocket and said, "I want to ask if there is any rental house nearby, preferably by the sea."
When they saw the money, the boys immediately shut up, their eyes lit up, and some people couldn't help swallowing.
"I know sir, I can still take you there," said one of the eldest children first.
"Very well, the 5 lire is yours."
At this moment, Jiang Hao noticed that the eyes of the children were all turned, and they were all fixed there. He followed the eyes of the children and saw a silhouette walking in the distance.
It's Marlene.
