From Suzhou, we took a train returning Shanghai to catch the overnight ship to Putuo Mountain.
On account of the budget, we endeavored to take public transport instead of taxi. And according to the map, there was a subway to Wusongkou, and the port is not very far from subway station. So, even knew it would be a hard work, we still decided to find it just by walking.
Before we got the exit, a young man with heavy accent yelled to us: "Are you going to the port? Take my motorbike, 15 Yuan for you two". "Get out, get out, and don't importune guests at here." One of the staff of the subway station shouted. Before leaving home, both Lussie and I had been exhorted many times that do ignore any strangers who accosted us forwardly. So, we steered clear of the guy and asked directions with the subway staff. And then, we got out. But the guy followed us all the way and kept trying to persuade us to take his motorbike.
"10 Yuan, for 2 people and the entire luggage"
"Thank you but we don’t need it. We will take a taxi". To get rid of him, I replied him.
"Taxi? It is very expensive. If you meet a black-hearted driver, you will need to pay much more."
We keep walking, without reply.
"Come on! Why you can't open your heart and trust others? You are on a wrong direction"
Really we are wrong? I got caught in two minds and hesitated. It was almost 5:00pm. If can't catch the ship, we really don't know what we should do. Then, we stopped and turned round. At this moment, a middle -aged woman holding a pet dog walking toward us. "She must be a local resident." I thought. We asked way with her again. What she told us is same with what we got at the subway station but totally opposite with the outlander. It was not until then that the irksome man finally left.
"It was indeed a hard work. I almost trust him." I said to myself in heart.
