Ludes agreed to go with Amandine and the others, so the four of them got together again. Uwa woke up Beyondbear who was already asleep, and the few of them packed up and went out. Amandine called a car, and the four of them got in and went straight to the airport. Pattaya, located at the southern tip of the Indochina Peninsula in Thailand, is a famous sea view resort. Their first stop in Thailand was here. Uwa and Beyondbear had never been out of Tanzania, and they were curious about everything they saw, "Brother, I don't understand what they say."
Amandine came here more than 30 years ago and stayed for half a year, and learned some simple Thai. "Uncle, what is this? It looks delicious." Beyondbear pointed to a roadside stall and asked. "This is fried banana. If you want to eat it, I'll buy it for you." Amandine took out a few shillings from his pocket and handed them to the seller.
"What is this?" The seller asked in Thai with a puzzled look on his face. Amandine realized that he had made a big mistake. He was in such a hurry that he forgot that the currency used here was Thai baht, and the shillings in his hand would be like waste paper if he didn't exchange them.
"That's easy. Let's find a place to exchange them," said the old man.
The three of them searched for a long time but couldn't find a place to exchange shillings. It was almost evening, and eating and sleeping became a problem. Fortunately, there were many temples here, so they planned to find one to stay for the night. After walking one kilometer, they saw a white pavilion with a round top and eight pillars supporting it. In the middle stood a statue of a demon guardian holding a sword. Not far away, inside the white wall, there were magnificent temples of different sizes. The gates were closed at this time, and it seemed that outsiders were not welcome to enter. Several people had to rest in the pavilion. As soon as they sat down, Beyondbear shouted, "Uncle, I'm so hungry!"
Ludes glanced at Amandine, "You have an invisibility cloak, put it on and find something to eat."
"Okay, wait, this is what I am best at." Amandine walked towards the temple not far away. Uwa and others sat under the statue. "Brother is really capable. He will never let us go hungry."
Ludes said with a little dissatisfaction, "If he is capable, we don't have to sit here."
Beyondbear didn't understand what he meant. He kept looking in the direction where Amandine went. "Why hasn't the uncle come back yet?"
Ludes shook his head, thinking it was a crazy talk, because Amandine had been gone for less than three minutes. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. Beyondbear saw it and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"You want some too?" Ludes asked back.
"Give me some too!" Beyondbear took one and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
Ludes wanted to remind him that this was not the way to eat, but it was too late. He thought, "No one will die anyway, let him go!"
Beyondbear spit out after chewing a few times, "It's not delicious, not sweet at all."
Ludes only smiled bitterly and didn't explain, feeling that it was a waste of time to talk so much to a fool. Amandine came back half an hour later, but he was empty-handed and didn't bring anything. He didn't know that Thai temples don't have kitchens, and monks have to rely on "themselves" to eat. They usually hold a bowl in their hands, which is the tool used by local monks to beg for alms. Seeing that there was no food to eat, Beyondbear was the first to get angry, "Uncle, do you want to starve me to death and then eat my flesh?"
Amandine was also full of anger, always feeling that everything was not going well here. "Boy, give me your cloak! I'll go find something to eat." Amandine hesitated for a moment. He didn't completely trust Ludes yet, and was afraid that he would never come back after lending him the cloak. The old man also saw what he was thinking, "What? You still don't trust me?"
After a long while, Amandine reluctantly agreed, "Okay! You can't steal it."
Ludes took the cloak, asked how to use it, and set off. Not long after he left, Amandine's heart began to get nervous. This time was also the ultimate test of their relationship. In order to make time feel faster, he chatted with Uwa, "Big Buffalo, what did you talk about just now?"
"The old man was smoking just now, and gave Beyondbear one."
"That's it? Nothing else."
"By the way, the old man also said that you are useless." Uwa told the truth.
More than 40 minutes passed, and Ludes still didn't come back, "Did the old guy really take my cloak and run away?"
Amandine became more and more worried as he waited, and couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth, "Uncle, sit down quickly, you're making me dizzy."
Another 20 minutes passed, and Amandine felt something was wrong. He asked Uwa and Beyondbear to wait here, and went out to look for it alone. It is said that Ludes did have selfish thoughts after getting the cloak. He thought that if the cloak was his, there would be nothing he couldn't do. At least it would be much more useful than in the hands of Amandine, who was an idiot and couldn't do anything. At this time, he was ready to leave this place. Amandine searched outside for more than an hour but couldn't find anyone, thinking, "Maybe the old man has gone back." When he returned to the pavilion and Uwa told him that he hadn't come back yet, he was so angry that he jumped up and down, "This bastard, he really took the cloak and ran away." Uwa was also anxious, "Brother, what should we do? The old man can also steal things!"
"Big buffalo, you can find Beyondbear with your nose, can't you smell him?"
"I'll try!" Uwa sniffed around. "Brother, there is a smell, you follow me." Beyondbear didn't eat the food and had to continue walking, so he was angry and didn't want to follow. Amandine could only lie that there would be food if he found the old man, and then he would be tempted. Uwa led the way and walked forward like a dog smelling the smell. Ludes left Amandine and his friends for more than two hours and walked five or six kilometers. He went into a hotel, and the accommodation fee was stolen from a woman's backpack just now, of course, using the invisibility cloak to do it. In the hotel, he felt that he should be very safe, and Amandine and others could not find here. After taking a shower, he went to bed. Uwa smelled the hotel and found it, "Brother, this is it, the old man smells very strong."
"Beyondbear, you block the door and don't let anyone come out." Amandine got a gun from the short man, he took it out, and rushed into the hotel angrily. This is a small hotel with only a dozen rooms in total. Uwa smelled one by one, and finally stopped in front of room 108. "Is it here?" Amandine asked in a low voice. Uwa nodded, "Yes! Brother, be careful." Amandine was afraid that the old man would hear the sound and run away from the window in advance, so he knocked on the door carefully pretending to be a service staff. Ludes slept soundly in the house and had a dream. Hearing the knock on the door, he became a little alert. But he quickly denied it. He thought if Amandine was that smart he wouldn't be in such a miserable situation. He walked over to open the door. As soon as he opened it a little, Amandine rushed in and pointed the gun at his chest. "Where are you going, old man?"
