Qin Yuping didn't want Xu Nuannuan to follow her. "No, forget it. I don't have a good relationship with her. I would feel uncomfortable if she went."
Lu Xinyue wanted to make peace between the two of them.
He smiled and said, "Yuping, why are there so many animosities between us colleagues? The four of us can go up the mountain together, talk and laugh, and your relationship will be eased."
"Lu Zhiqing, I know you mean well and want us to reconcile. But she's not the easiest person to get along with. I'm afraid that if we talk, it won't ease the relationship, but will make it worse."
"Then why don't you just stop talking to her? You spread your mushrooms and she picks hers, and neither of you can get close to the other."
"It's better not to yell. I feel awkward if I don't talk to her."
Qin Yuping repeatedly insisted not to call Xu Nuannuan. Lu Xinyue and Wang Jiajia were about to listen to her, but they saw Xu Nuannuan in front of them, so Wang Jiajia called Xu Nuannuan casually.
"Nuannuan."
Xu Nuannuan saw them holding bamboo baskets and asked, "Are you going to the mountains?"
"Well, Nuannuan, we are going to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Do you want to come?"
Xu Nuannuan also wanted to go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms. After all, if she didn't go now, it would be difficult to pick fresh and tender mushrooms in the future.
She glanced at Qin Yuping, but she automatically ignored her.
"Okay, I'll go with you. You wait a moment while I go home and get the basket."
But Qin Yuping stopped her and said, "I think you'd better not go. I don't want to be with you, and I don't want to see you."
Xu Nuannuan snorted and glanced at her sideways.
"Is this mountain yours? I can go there whenever I want. What's it to you?"
"I was the one who first suggested Jia Jia and I go mushroom picking. We agreed not to invite you, but I didn't expect to see you again."
After she said that, if Xu Nuannuan had a little self-awareness and knew that she was being disliked, she would not have followed her.
Xu Nuannuan always surprised her. "This mountain is not yours, and this land is not yours either. If you don't want to see it, I can close my eyes, or ask you not to go. Anyway, I'm going."
"Xu Nuannuan." Qin Yuping stamped her feet anxiously.
Wang Jiajia and Lu Xinyue saw that the two of them were not getting along, and they were caught in the middle, so they looked unhappy.
Wang Jiajia said, "How about this, I called Nuannuan, so why don't I go with Nuannuan and you two keep her company."
Lu Xinyue felt that this was the best way to resolve today's conflict. "Xian, let's do this."
But Qin Yuping still disagreed, "Jia Jia, you can't be with her. We agreed that the three of us would be companions, and we can't be separated."
The meaning is very clear. Xu Nuannuan either goes up the mountain alone or doesn't go at all.
In fact, her ultimate goal was not to let Xu Nuannuan go up the mountain.
Xu Nuannuan felt that she was a little strange. Even if she had a grudge against her, there was no need for her to target her like this.
We were just going up the mountain together. If she ignored me, wouldn't it be fine if I ignored her? It wouldn't affect our mutual mushroom picking, so why did Qin Yuping have to exclude me?
"Qin Zhiqing, you're doing everything you can to prevent me from going. Don't you have some ulterior motive?"
Qin Yuping's expression changed immediately, and she said, "I simply don't want to be with you. Why should I go up the mountain with my enemy?"
Xu Nuannuan chuckled, "What if I insist on going?"
"Then go by yourself. Xinyue and Jiajia are going to follow me anyway."
"Yuping, why are you doing this?" Lu Xinyue advised her, "We're not children anymore. There's no need to be so harsh. The conflict between you two is over. You can't keep it in mind forever."
We are all educated youth who have come here to work in the countryside. We should help each other when we encounter difficulties and be united and friendly. I still hope that you can put aside your past grudges, forget the unpleasantness of the past, reconcile, and build a beautiful friendship. "
"Hmph, it's impossible for me to be friends with her." Qin Yuping's attitude was firm.
Xu Nuannuan said, "I'm not a petty person, but Qin Zhiqing is so determined. It's useless for me to try to reconcile with him on my own. Since Qin Zhiqing doesn't want me to go, then I won't go. You guys go."
Qin Yuping breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Nuannuan finally stopped following them.
Both Lu Xinyue and Wang Jiajia felt a little guilty.
Lu Xinyue, "Nuannuan, when I come back I'll give you some of the mushrooms I picked."
"Thank you, Sister Xinyue."
"Nuannuan, I'll give you some too."
"Thank you Jiajia."
Qin Yuping finally got her wish and walked up the mountain with Lu Xinyue and Wang Jiajia.
Xu Nuannuan felt that Qin Yuping was suspicious, so she quietly followed behind, released Tuanzi, and said:
"Follow Qin Yuping closely and tell me immediately if you find anything."
"Okay, Nuannuan. I'm leaving now."
The little black dog kicked up its hind legs and rushed out, running so fast that Xu Nuannuan could no longer see it.
Xu Nuannuan took out the basket from the space and walked up the mountain at a normal speed.
If something happened, she would be there. If everything was normal, she would just be there picking mushrooms.
She had been on the mountain since she arrived and picked half a basket of mushrooms, but nothing happened. When she thought she had misunderstood Qin Yuping because of her suspicion, Tuanzi sent her a report through the air.
"Nuannuan, there are suspected human traffickers here. They kidnapped Lu Zhiqing and Wang Zhiqing and injured Qin Yuping."
When Xu Nuannuan heard this, she realized something was going on.
Lu Xinyue and Wang Jiajia were both kidnapped, but Qin Yuping was only injured. It was Qin Yuping who first suggested going up the mountain, and it was also Qin Yuping who was most opposed to her going up the mountain.
Putting these plots together, she had to believe that Qin Yuping was in cahoots with the human traffickers.
She deliberately let Wang Jiajia and Lu Xinyue follow him up the mountain, just to bring Lu Xinyue and Wang Jiajia up the mountain and let them be snatched by human traffickers.
Then he would use a self-torture trick and get beaten by the traffickers, so that he could clear himself of suspicion.
"Tuanzi, where are you? I'll be there soon."
Tuanzi told Xu Nuannuan where he and the human traffickers were, and Xu Nuannuan rushed there as fast as she could.
