Chapter 1152 Motel
What is the most important thing in life?
Some people may say money, and some may say power.
However, at Han Li's age, he currently feels that the most important experience in life is to experience different lives, different customs, and appreciate beauties from different places and countries when the economy and reality allow.
Han Li has no problem with the economy, and the only thing that limits him is reality.
But there are also many loopholes in reality that can be exploited, and this depends on whether you can grasp them.
For example: When Han Li went to the countryside, he became a health worker through his own efforts and lived a life that other educated youth could not match.
While others were still hesitating, Han Li took Niu Dahai to participate in disaster relief, which made his situation even better.
After being admitted to Yan University, Han Li relied on his unremitting efforts to be admitted as a graduate student, and was eventually forced to become a "teaching assistant".
Later, Han Li relied on his own efforts to get a place to study at the University of Oxford in England.
After arriving in England, Han Li's solid English foundation and authentic London accent gave him a good mentor, and every paper he wrote would make him live more freely and comfortably.
Now he has the opportunity to do some research on certain public sentiments on his own, with someone paying for the whole process.
Let's not talk about how much money he can get from this research, because Han Li is least concerned about money at the moment.
The English driver's license and the "internship license" issued by the Royal College of Medicine are useless.
Because Han Li has no intention of developing here, he will not give up the [Humanities and Social Sciences] where he can slack off at any time, and foolishly turn to the hard and tiring medical field.
Moreover, after Han Li's visa expires and he returns to China, it may be a long time before he comes back next time, so these two certificates are almost useless.
What makes Han Li most satisfied is that he has this opportunity to travel around with other people's money in a fair and just way, to experience and appreciate the local customs of England.
Let's get back to the point. Han Li had only seen motels in movies and TV shows, but most of them were from the United States. He was very curious about what motels in England looked like in this era.
Because Han Li had learned about the situation nearby from the robbers last night, he drove on the road today and wandered around for a while before arriving at a small town.
The first thing Han Li did when he got here was to buy a map printed by the local town, which Han Li also learned about last night.
Although England has been improving its road network since World War II, those economically developed counties have arrogantly built roads to every village under their jurisdiction.
Although this makes England's transportation look much more developed and convenient, those poor and remote areas are still maintaining their original appearance.
However, because there is no overall plan for building roads, each county, district, and even town basically builds its own roads, which makes the situation of English roads very complicated.
This situation is not to mention Han Li, a foreigner, even native Englishmen will get lost after driving out of the counties, districts, and towns they are familiar with.
The dignitaries of the English royal family, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons have special drivers and personnel to clear the way when they go in and out. They may not know this situation, and even if they know it, they don’t have to worry about getting lost.
This situation also makes each county, district, and town in England launch its own regional map. They mark every street in their area clearly. As long as you drive according to the map, there will be no place you can’t find.
But they only mention the situation in other places, and even many slightly smaller roads are not printed by them at all.
The funniest thing is that the English authorities have no rigid requirements for maps. The maps printed and published by different counties, districts, and towns have different specifications and proportions.
Because the counties and towns that print these maps want to show the situation in their areas on the map in the most perfect way.
Therefore, the map ratio of County A may be 1:10, but the map ratio of County B may be 1:20, and the map ratio of County C may be 1:5.
This different map ratio is also one of the culprits that caused Han Li to spend the night in the wild yesterday, because he planned the route and time according to the map he bought from London.
After Han Li bought the local map, he found a situation when he was eating in a local restaurant or replenishing supplies in the store.
That is, the types of supplies sold here are far less than those in London. You must know that this place is only more than 100 kilometers away from London. This situation may be one of the reasons why many people want to go to big cities.
However, these are not Han Li's business. He purchased some supplies and sat in the cafe in this small town to listen to the locals chatting for a while. After feeling that there was nothing to gain, he followed the instructions on the newly bought map, started the RV and drove towards the main road.
Because most motels are built on main roads and far away from towns, if Han Li wants to experience motel life, he has to go there.
Because of the accurate map, Han Li's journey was relatively smooth. He went from the narrow country B-class road to the A-class road, and from the original single lane to the double lane.
There were more trucks, cars, and motorcycles on the road, and some members on motorcycles kept looking at the RV driven by Han Li.
Han Li didn't know whether they were new to the RV or wanted to get rich like the group of people last night.
Han Li didn't care either way. Even if they wanted to get rich, it was fine. These people were not stupid. Generally speaking, they would not rob openly on the A-class road.
Moreover, Han Li's destination was very clear, which was the motel not far ahead of this road. Even if they really wanted to get rich, they had no chance.
If they wanted to hang on and wait until they got to a remote place to do it, it didn't matter, because it was still uncertain who would rob whom at that time. If they ran faster at that time, they might chase the nine people last night.
When this thought flashed through Han Li's mind, his eyes could not help but show a hint of hostility.
Then Han Li threw this idea out of his mind, and persuaded himself with a bitter smile on his face.
"That Vasily Rhodes did a lot of harm to others. At that time, I couldn't control myself and used physical transcendence to save the other party. My way of solving the problem became more and more crude.
Obviously, there is a golden finger that can make the other party die in other ways and in other places. Why let your hands get those things stained?
In the future, try not to have such thoughts again, otherwise it will be bad if you can't change it after returning to China."
While driving, Han Li was looking for some books to study to resolve the impulse in his heart that wanted to do it himself at any time.
Until a big sign appeared in front of Han Li, he gathered his mind and looked over.
The big sign read: Ferguson & Bed and breakfast.
[Ferguson's Bed and Breakfast] This sign is the motel that Han Li wanted to experience.
(Motels in England are called bed·breakfast, which literally means bed and breakfast, but the meaning of the word "bed" in English also includes sex, so you know.
After the meaning of this word spread to the little red dot and the bend, it has been synonymous with couples' hotels for a long time. Some places even give the meaning of this word and the function of this hotel a certain meaning.)
Soon after Han Li saw the sign, he saw the motel he wanted to experience. The parking lot of this motel occupied a large area, which was used for truck drivers to park.
The houses here are basically two-story townhouses. The lower floor is large and high, but it is empty inside.
Because this floor is specially used by the motel for customers to park their vehicles. After parking the car here and locking the door, you can go to the second floor accommodation room from the stairs next to it.
Why did the motel adopt this design? That's because the public security situation in England was not very good at that time. In addition to robbers, there were also many thieves at night.
These outsiders driving cars became the best targets for thieves. Some gangs would even tow and drive away small cars.
However, this one-story garage can only park small cars, small trucks, RVs and other vehicles, and those large trucks can only be parked outside.
When truck drivers park here to stay, they can choose the function of the earliest motels, that is, simply use the parking lot provided by the hotel, and the drivers sleep, spend the night, and guard the goods in their own cars.
Of course, they can also choose to sleep in the hotel's guest rooms, but under this security situation, most truck drivers who choose to stay in the guest rooms are when the trucks are empty.
Next to this motel is a gas station and a restaurant. Han Li checked in here and drove the car to the garage he had booked under the guidance of a waiter.
This was the first time Han Li stayed in such a place. After turning off the engine and getting out of the car, he carefully looked at the garage. On one side was a small door for passengers to enter and exit, and next to the small door was a staircase leading to the second-floor accommodation guest rooms.
At this time, the waiter reminded Han Li that he should lock the entrance and exit of the vehicle, and then go to the guest room on the second floor to check. If there are no other items missing and no other requirements, she will go back to the front desk to be on duty.
Han Li nodded and turned to lock the door, took the Scottish Fold cats from the RV in his arms, and walked towards the guest room on the second floor.
Although the area of the guest room is not small, the situation inside is relatively ordinary. There are no extra decorations on the four large white walls.
The living room and bedroom are a large open room, with a washroom next to it. The sofa, table and chairs are placed at the entrance, and the bed is placed near the window.
After the waiter saw that Han Li had no problem, she talked about the food and beverage provided by the motel today, and finally took out a business card from her pocket and put it on the table and left.
Han Li knew what was written on the business card without looking at it, so he didn't touch the business card at all.
Because there was no place to take a shower in the RV, Han Li worked hard to decompose a big pit last night and sent several robbers on the road, so now he just wanted to take a good shower to remove dust and bad luck.
After Han Li settled the Scottish Fold cat, he took out the toiletries from the decomposition space, took off his clothes and went into the bathroom.
When Han Li was scrubbing his body vigorously, the sky outside blew cold wind and scattered snowflakes floated, as if to add a touch of romance to the upcoming Christmas Eve.
However, the sudden arrival of this snowstorm disrupted the original plans of many people, especially those who were on motorcycles. In this weather, they had to choose to stay nearby, making this motel, which originally had few customers, much more lively.
