"Now, as the team leader, I have to explain something to you two. Don't sleep, get up and listen to me carefully!" As soon as the train entered the Italian border, Pan grabbed Wang Jian and Hong Tao together and asked him to tell them seriously.
Fulfilling her right to lead the team.
"What's the matter? You're so serious. Just tell me, I'm listening." Hong Tao just stared at it when he was shaken awake by the woman, and he became impatient.
"Take out your passports and wallets and show them to me!" Pan made an unexpected request.
"What are you doing! You want to confiscate personal property!" Hong Tao was very sensitive, covering his trouser pockets with his hands and refusing to take it.
"You damn personal property. Your wallet is in your trouser pocket? Where's yours?" Pan glanced at the place Hong Tao was covering, and then looked at Wang Jian.
"Mine is in my butt pocket. The butt pocket has buttons and is very safe!" Wang Jian patted his butt and added some explanation.
"I'm warning you! There are a lot of thieves in big cities in Italy. In a situation like yours, it's easy to be stolen. Put your passport and wallet in this bag, hang it around your neck and stuff it in your clothes or pockets.
Just put change!" Pan said as she took out two small leather bags from her backpack, about the size of a palm, with a metal chain on the flat top.
"If I had known that I came from China wearing a pair of underwear with pockets, if you wanted to steal my things, you would have to strip me naked first, and you might catch a few female thieves." Hong Tao didn't believe Pan's words at all, but in order not to offend me,
She was anxious, so she put her wallet and passport in the small leather bag and hung them around her neck.
"Don't complain. When you leave Italy, I guarantee you will love it so much that you can grit your teeth!" Pan ignored Hong Tao's strange words.
Milan's train station is very grand. The whole train is called Milan Central Station, which is said to be the largest train station in Europe. The main body of the train station is the world's largest steel structure vault, 230 meters wide and nearly 500 meters long, with a light golden frame.
The light cyan glass has a great visual impact, a bit like the space age. It matches the ancient and modern front of the train station that was built in the 1930s. From this point of view, I have to admire the Italians' artistic aesthetics.
grade.
After leaving the central station, there is Piazza del Duomo of Aosta, which is less than 2 kilometers away from the center of Milan. Hong Tao originally thought he would have to squeeze in the bus, but Pan did not take them to the bus station.
Go, and stand on the side of the square. It looks like you are going to take a taxi.
"Hello, sir. Do you speak English?" While the three of them were waiting for a taxi on the roadside, a tall young woman with black hair approached Hong Tao with a map and pointed at it.
I asked Hong Tao at a certain place, and behind her were three men of different ages, tall, short, fat and thin.
"This...this is...Pan, where is the map?" Hong Tao smelled the fragrance of the young woman and immediately became excited. He leaned his head over and huddled with the woman on the map to look at it.
After spending a long time, I didn’t even figure out which city the map was for.
"I don't know, and I don't speak Italian!" Instead of coming over, Pan pulled Wang Jian back a few steps.
"Sorry. I don't know where the place you are talking about is. I just got off the train. I am a tourist." Hong Tao deeply blamed himself for not helping the young woman.
"It's okay, I wish you a happy stay in Milan." The black-haired woman smiled beautifully, waved to Hong Tao, took the map and left, and she and the men quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"She looks pretty, right? She has black hair and eyes just like you. Doesn't that make you feel particularly friendly?" At this moment, Pan's head suddenly appeared in front of Hong Tao's eyes, with a smirk on his face.
"Familiar, just familiar, not friendly." Hong Tao quickly put away the warm smile on his face, and his heart was full of vigilance. She was smiling again, and it must be up to something bad.
"Oh, how about you pay the taxi fare for a while? The place we are going to is not far away, 20 euros is enough." Pan stopped a rental car with his hand and motioned for Hong Tao to sit in the passenger seat.
"No problem, it's my duty to ask you to ride in the car." Hong Tao felt a little confused. Why did this Pan suddenly change his face and speak in a strange voice? Even Wang Jian had a sinister smile on his face. Could it be that he was there?
Made a fool of yourself?
The taxi took them to a hotel called Old Loconda Leonardo, near the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. But when Hong Tao was about to pay the fare, he finally understood why Pan and Wang Jian were looking at him just now.
He laughed strangely, and all the change of more than 30 euros in his trouser pocket disappeared.
"You two just watch me being stolen! Can't you remind me!" Having already entered the hotel lobby, Hong Tao was still complaining about Pan and Wang Jian's shameful behavior of not saving anyone.
"I'm not an anti-pocket gang. I really didn't see anyone stealing from you. I just saw you smiling so meanly!" Although Wang Jian held back, his lips were already grinning widely.
"This is to make you more vigilant in the future. Don't approach young girls when you see them. You know why I asked you to keep your money and passports. When you get to the front desk, put your passports in the hotel safe.
Then ask them to make a photocopy for you and take it with you. If just losing money is not a big deal, losing your passport will cause you to be in trouble." Pan proudly introduced his experience, and by the way, he also mentioned a few words from Hong Tao.

To be honest, although Italy is not as wealthy as the Nordic countries, the price of this hotel is not cheap at all. A double room costs 190 euros a day, and a single room costs 100 euros. Although the decoration is quite good, there is a large bathtub in each room.
But the price is higher than a hotel in Hamburg.
It was noon when Hong Tao and the others arrived in Milan. They had lunch on the train. After packing their rooms and luggage, Pan took them out of the hotel. It was said that they were going to visit the most unique attraction in Milan, called Golden Square.
.
Pass through the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in front of the Milan Cathedral, and walk forward to see what Pan calls the Golden Square. This time Hong Tao was deceived again. This is not an attraction at all. It is the most famous fashion in Milan.
Shopping Street. By Monte Napoleone, Alessa
The four streets of ndroManzoni, DellaSpiga and SantAndrea form a square, and dozens of world-renowned big brand stores are located on these four streets. Not only are there women's fashion, but there are also many men's clothing, leather shoes, and watches stores.
"Aren't we traveling on a budget? Why did we go shopping in the mall instead? This goes against our original intention!" Hong Tao planned to use words to dispel Pan's interest.
"I should have the final say whether it violates the original intention or not. I am the team leader. You are not familiar with this place, so you must follow me!" Pan was such a woman who could be easily persuaded. She dismissed Hong Tao with just one sentence and then stood up.
He raised his head and strode to the front of a store.
"Hey hey hey, it doesn't seem to be open. Wang Jian, what day is it today?" Hong Tao felt something was wrong when he first arrived here. Only now did he realize what was wrong. Although these shops had signs, there were no signs.
Except for the doors, the doors were closed tightly, and some even drew the curtains inside.
"Today is Tuesday. I shouldn't have a rest. Could it be a holiday?" Wang Jian looked at the calendar on his watch and was a little confused.
"Ding dong...Ding dong!" Pan ignored Hong Tao and Wang Jian behind him, stretched out his hand and rang the doorbell.
"No way! If you don't open the door and someone calls the door, you have to have a persistent desire to buy!" Hong Tao saw Pan's action and had a better understanding of the woman's madness.
But the reality was not as Hong Tao imagined. The door of the store was quickly opened from the inside. A shopping guide girl in uniform stood by the door with a smile, extending her hand to invite Hong Tao and others outside the door to come in.
However, Hong Tao still saw some confusion in her smile. He was probably thinking, what kind of combination is a well-dressed white lady followed by two Oriental men in jeans and T-shirts?
"What brand is this? Do you recognize it?" Wang Jian randomly picked up a shirt from the hanger and asked Hong Tao while looking at the label on the collar.
"Dolce & Gabbana, isn't it written on this?" Hong Tao answered very concisely.
