Sausalito was a little-known small town. If placed in China, it would barely be considered a village. Maybe it was just a production brigade. However, because of the beautiful scenery of the town, it was only a bridge away from San Francisco, which made it a gathering place for the rich. The villas on the hillside overlooking the bay and the bridge had an average price of more than two million dollars. It was like the rich people in Hong Kong living in the mountains, so the average price of a house in the town exceeded that of San Francisco.
The mast of hundreds of private yachts stood on the pier, swaying slightly with the waves.
Today's weather was not good, and it was foggy, so most of the yachts did not go out to sea. If it was a sunny day, it was estimated that the rich people would drive their yachts full of hot bikini-clad beauties into the sea. What would happen after that was up to the imagination? Of course, they would set up a table and play mahjong!
In fact, it was not even lunchtime, but considering that there might not be any restaurants in Muir National Park, Snowy kept her word and invited Zhang Zian to a restaurant by the sea for lunch. In fact, whether Zhang Zian was there or not, she would have had lunch there and introduced the food to the netizens.
As a small town where the rich gathered, the price of the restaurant was, of course, not cheap. Basically, everything on the menu was less than 50 dollars. With tips, the two of them had a meal of more than 100 dollars. Zhang Zian ordered a seafood pasta, and Snowy ordered something that might be seafood risotto.
If Snowy was alone, it might be a little embarrassing to talk to her phone in a foreign restaurant. With Zhang Zian there, it could more or less ease some of the embarrassment.
As usual, Snowy commented on the restaurant's environment, facilities, service attitude, hygiene, and most importantly, the taste of the food.
The restaurant could not bring pets inside, so Famous and the elfins could only temporarily wait outside the restaurant. Fortunately, they had eaten a lot in the morning and were not hungry yet.
Zhang Zian ate while looking at the sea view through the floor-to-ceiling glass window. However, the bay was actually called Richardson Bay, which always made him have a bad impression.
Perhaps because it was not the peak time for meals, he and Snowy were the only two customers in the restaurant. The bearded Italian chef came over personally and asked them if they were satisfied with the food.
Snowy was flattered. She praised the delicious food in English, which was not very good, and asked the chef to say a few words to the audience in China. The chef heard that Snowy had tens of thousands of fans in China, so he was happy to take this opportunity to promote her.
Occasionally, Zhang Zian would help Snowy convey the meaning that she couldn't express clearly. Other than that, he was thinking about the national park while eating.
At that moment, an angry dog bark came from outside the shop. Zhang Zian knew it was Famous.
"Sorry, I'll go out and have a look." He pulled the napkin off his lap and quickly ran out of the restaurant.
Snowy's reaction was a step slower. She was chewing on an onion and kept praising it. When she came back to her senses, Zhang Zian had already rushed out of the door.
As soon as he ran out of the store, he didn't understand what was going on. All he saw was a man on a skateboard flying away with Famous following closely behind.
"Caw! That's a thief, he stole that woman's bag! " Richard landed on his shoulder and said gloatingly, "I told you that women are troublesome!"
Zhang Zian turned to look at the rental car and saw a thin iron bar thrown on the ground. One side of the door had been pried open.
When he went into the restaurant to eat, the elfins didn't stay in the car but wandered around.
According to Richard, a sloppy man walked past his car with an old skateboard under his arm. He took a look inside and saw that Zhang Zian and Snowy's backpacks were left in the car, so he walked past the car and turned back. When no one was paying attention, he used his clothes to cover himself and inserted a thin iron bar into the window sealing tape to pry open the door lock. Then, he picked up Snowy's bag and got on the skateboard.
Famous first noticed that the man was a little sneaky, but it didn't think much of it. Even when it saw him turn back, it just thought that he suddenly remembered something and wanted to go back the way he came.
The man's action of priing open the car was skillful and covert. In the blink of an eye, it was pried open.
Famous, who was the closest to the man, realized that he was a bag thief. It barked a warning and immediately chased after him. However, because it was a downhill road, the man was good at skateboarding. After stepping on the skateboard, he skated 20 to 30 meters and was still accelerating. It was difficult for Famous to outrun the skateboard with its four legs, and it could barely keep up with the speed of the skateboard. It was barely able to keep up.
Zhang Zian understood that the man must be a habitual bag thief. He might even have a criminal record. These people always targeted foreign tourists, especially Chinese tourists who often swallowed humiliation. They had always been their targets.
Snowy also ran out at this time. Seeing that Zhang Zian was going to drive after them, she quickly persuaded him not to chase after them. There was nothing valuable in her bag. Her wallet and cell phone were all on her.
The Italian chef shrugged nonchalantly and said that they shouldn't have left their bags in the car. Recently, this kind of thing had always happened. Homeless people specifically stole things that were left in the car, and the police didn't care at all. If every homeless person who did this was arrested and sent to jail, the San Francisco jail would be full of homeless people. Homeless people might also carry weapons like knives, or even guns that they picked up from nowhere. He advised them to keep quiet and take it as a lesson.
While they were talking, Famous had already chased the thief into the fog and disappeared from sight.
Zhang Zian couldn't just leave Famous alone, and Old Time Tea and Vladimir had already chased after it. Although they could climb up the tree to take a shortcut, the thief was slipping too fast, and they were both left far behind.
"You guys wait. I'll go after them. We can't just let them go like this."
He closed the door. Although he was talking to Snowy, he was actually talking to the other invisible elfins.
The Italian chef shook his head, obviously disapproving of his reckless behavior. He opened the door of the restaurant and invited Snowy to continue to eat in the restaurant.
Zhang Zian was not familiar with the terrain, and with the fog, he didn't dare to drive too fast. When the restaurant disappeared into the fog behind him, he rolled down the window and shouted into the fog, "Famous! Where are you? "
Woof!
Famous's bark came from the far left side. It sounded quite far away.
Famous roared from time to time. Zian followed the sound and picked up Old Time Tea and Vladimir in the car. They gradually drove out of the small town, which was less than five square kilometers, and came to the edge of a dense forest behind the town.
"I'm warning you, if you dare to come over again, don't blame me for being rude!"
The thief was blocked by Famous, who was holding a knife in his hand. He was trying to intimidate Famous by brandishing the knife at it.
