Chapter 12 Chapter 10 "I will transfer here alone"

After Miss Alice said good night to Mr. Nuoxi like an aunt saying good night, she lay in bed and thought of another thing.She remembered the rice noodles she ate at Gray Stork's house during the day, but she never mentioned it in her letter to her aunt.But the letter has been sent. "Ha, forget that too!" she said to herself, "I should ask my aunt! Let the old man guess, what he eats is—stir-fried beef with spicy peppers; stir-fried beef with pumpkin; stewed pork with pumpkin; pork Stir-fried chives; chives in vinegar; vinegared cabbage; cabbage mixed with vermicelli; Or Mrs. Gergevoys could have guessed more samples than Miss Alice could remember eating, for the old lady knew what tasted good with what.But how to discuss this matter with this old man?Now I am in China, but this old man is thousands of miles away from me.There are no telephones in the hotel, and it is also a matter of life for messengers to deliver letters.

But it was as if Mrs. Gergevoys had to know about it, so she couldn't sleep. Miss Alice felt that she needed her aunt, and really couldn't sleep.She was lying on a small bed of her own (but she always thought it was a bed in the Fuling Hotel), when she heard a clock beating three times.Mr. Nuoxi, who lives in the next room, seems to have slept soundly, only to hear a snoring sound coming from the rabbit's throat.She closed her eyes tightly and couldn't sleep. "Auntie, Auntie," as if fascinated, she got up and went home quietly, then walked out of Fuling Hotel.As soon as she got out of the Fuling Hotel, she couldn't find her way, and she didn't know what to do. She was crowded among some strangers, and she became afraid, so she shouted "Aunt! Aunt!" She called her aunt.My aunt, in her big black velvet pajamas, and holding a candlestick, was standing beside Miss Alice's bed, who called her aunt in her dream.

"Hey, do you have a stomachache?" "Auntie, when are you going to this hotel?" "What hotel?" Mrs. Gergevoys immediately remembered Alice's words before going to sleep, and she knew that the hotel must refer to the Chinese hotel. She dipped her right hand in the foam and put it on Miss Alice's forehead. Draw three crosses to avoid evil spirits.The old lady said, "Honey, have you dreamed of China?" "Yes! I went to the Gray Stork's house for dinner during the day. I remembered telling my aunt the noodles I ate, and I wanted my aunt to try and guess the dish first, so I didn't tell Mr. Nuoxi that I was going to come back quietly. Nuoxi was still snoring Ah! Listen, Aunt, don't you?"

Taking the snoring of a cat in her own house as Mr. Nuoxi's snoring, Miss Alice didn't know whether she was sleeping on the bed at home or the bed in Fuling Hotel until now. My aunt said, "My dear, you have transferred here now." "Yes, aunt, I transferred here alone." Mrs Gergevoys, seeing that it was still dark, wanted Alice to sleep a little longer. "Baby, go to sleep again, it's only three o'clock! We'll talk about you tomorrow, so Auntie can tell you about going to heaven. Auntie just turned around from heaven just now because she was yelling for the baby."

Miss Alice listened to Mrs. Gregory Foyce, and went to bed properly again.She didn't know whether she saw Mrs. Gregory Foyce first or Mr. Nuoxi first when she woke up in the morning. Because shortly after her aunt left her house, she heard Mr. Nuoxi snoring in the next room. She thought it was a dream about her aunt, so she laughed in the dark alone.
