What Quezhaisanren handed to Chen Xiao was something similar to a compass.
There is a rotatable arrow in the center, and the word "Tong" is engraved on the triangular metal piece of the arrow. This made Chen Xiao understand at once that this is not a compass, but a "Tong Nuonuo" needle.
With this indicator, finding Tong Nuonuo is no longer like looking for a needle in a haystack, which makes Chen Xiao feel relieved.
Chen Xiao started looking according to the direction of the indicator needle, but he found that he had oversimplified the matter.
Tong Nuonuo, who was used as a reference, was moving, and his movement trajectory was still chaotic. He was like a headless fly, running around everywhere, causing the indicator needle to point north and east at times. Chen Xiao, who had a strong sense of direction, was almost confused.
Chen Xiao walked around the town for half an hour, from the east to the south, but still hadn't found Tong Nuonuo, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Quezhaisanren said that Tong Nuonuo had a competition to participate in today, so no matter how the order of attendance was changed, there had to be a limit, and it couldn't be endless.
Chen Xiao didn't care about offending anyone or not. He jumped onto the roof, walked on the eaves, and ran quickly in a straight line in the direction of the arrow.
In an alley with complex terrain, he finally saw Tong Nuonuo walking quickly with his head down.
"Nono!" Chen Xiao shouted, "Stand there and don't move!"
Tong Nuonuo was startled, stopped and looked up, and saw that it was Chen Xiao, so she shouted in surprise and joy: "Xiaoxiao, why are you here?"
"I just happened to meet your master, and he asked me to take you to the competition venue quickly. Come with me!" Chen Xiao landed on the ground, pulled Tong Nuonuo and ran.
Tong Nuonuo was dragged and had to keep up with Chen Xiao's footsteps. He was still yelling: "That's wrong, that's wrong! There's no way! I've been around here several times, but I can't get through..."
The word "get out" got stuck in his throat and almost choked him to death.
Tong Nuonuo stared at an unfamiliar alley hidden in the corner with his eyes wide open. He walked back and forth here four or five times, but he couldn't find a path in this place!
Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo ran out of the maze-like residential area along the alley. When passing the entrance of the alley, Tong Nuonuo childishly kicked the innocent corner of the wall to vent his anger. It's all its fault. Why did it hide so secretly?
While running, Chen Xiao comforted Tong Nuonuo: "Don't worry, your master said that he will find a way to adjust your order of appearance to the back. Being late for a while is nothing, calm down, don't panic, and perform well."
"Yeah, I know." Tong Nuonuo said with a tense round face.
Chen Xiao looked at him and couldn't help but said, "What happened to you just now? Didn't I tell you before that when you are with others, if you get lost, don't run around everywhere, stand still and wait for people to find you. What's more, your master is looking for you, so just wait for him."
Tong Nuonuo said aggrievedly: "I was tricked by someone, otherwise I wouldn't be so unlucky." When talking about his master looking for him, Tong Nuonuo was furious, "My master might as well not look for me! I have a pointer in my hand that can determine his location. If he didn't move around and waited for me at the venue, I might have returned long ago."
Chen Xiao was speechless. The two of them were each holding a pointer with the other as a reference, and they were moving at the same time. With Tong Nuonuo's poor sense of direction, it would be strange if they could find each other!
Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Does your master know that you have such a pointer in your hand?"
Tong Nuonuo was full of resentment, "Of course he knows, he made it himself."
Chen Xiao asked in confusion: "Then why didn't he wait in one place and let you find it yourself?"
Tong Nuonuo said helplessly: "Who made my master impatient? He gets anxious after waiting for a while. It must be the same this time. He couldn't wait for me, so he came out to look for me. Every time he couldn't help but come out to look for me, and every time I got lost even further. Sometimes I even suspected that he deliberately let me go and hid somewhere to watch me do stupid things. I remember when I was little, he loved to hide and let me find him. Every time, he would make me anxious and cry before he would come out. He was particularly bad."
Although she said words of blame, there was a smile in Tong Nuonuo's eyes and on the corners of her lips.
One is impatient, the other is a complete road idiot. Although they are a pair of master and disciple and often make fun of each other, from the tone of Tong Nuonuo when he talks about his master and past events, we can tell that the two have a deep relationship.
Chen Xiao was also infected and smiled. Then he remembered something and asked, "You just said someone cheated you. What happened?"
Tong Nuonuo stopped laughing, his face darkened, and he said, "It's a few jealous and despicable people who can't beat me in mechanical arts and feel that there is no hope of advancing, so they use despicable means to prevent me from attending the next competition and disqualify me."
"How did I harm you?" Chen Xiao was puzzled.
Tong Nuonuo blushed and said embarrassedly, "It's my fault for being too careless. I fell into their trap. I went to the competition venue with Master in the previous three games, but Master was one of the judges today and had to rush to the venue early. Master wanted me to rest for a while, fearing that if I followed him to the venue early, I would not be in good spirits during the competition."
After a pause, Tong Nuonuo continued, "My master originally asked a waiter to take me to the venue, but when I went out, the man disappeared. I had to find a way out on my own and just followed the other contestants I happened to meet."
Chen Xiao could already guess what would happen next. Tong Nuonuo must have fallen into someone else's trap.
As expected, Tong Nuonuo said, "Who knew those people seemed to know that I didn't know the way well, so they deliberately took a detour and led me to a remote place, and then they suddenly ran away. The terrain in that place was too complicated, and I realized that I was tricked, and I couldn't find them when I chased them. That place was remote and uninhabited, and I couldn't tell east from west, south from north, so I had to follow the pointer."
Chen Xiao's expression also turned cold, and he said, "It seems that the disappearance of the waiter must be their doing."
Tong Nuonuo nodded and said firmly: "This is definitely not a coincidence, it must be them. Who would pick on a little waiter for no reason? And it just so happened that right after the waiter disappeared, they passed by me and talked loudly about today's game, afraid that I didn't know they were going to the venue."
Chen Xiao said angrily: "How shameless!"
Tong Nuonuo was very pleased to see his friends united against the same enemy. He inadvertently broke free from his hand and waved his fist, "Isn't it? These villains are so low-minded. They are not as skilled as others but still do not want to make progress. They focus on such crooked ways. If they don't correct their bad habits in the future, their achievements will be just that. They will be mechanical engineers for the rest of their lives. They will never become mechanical masters."
Seeing that he was getting more and more excited and not looking at the road, Chen Xiao was almost carried to the side by the crowd. He had no choice but to go over and hold him back.
"Just say it, don't get excited, and don't break free from my hand." He was not comfortable letting Tong Nuonuo hold him, so he had to hold her himself to feel at ease.
Tong Nuonuo's attention is unreliable except on mechanical engineering.
Tong Nuonuo said "Oh" embarrassedly, and her head, which had been boiling with condemnation, finally calmed down a little.
The two continued on their way quickly, and Tong Nuonuo noticed that Chen Xiao led the way almost without hesitation.
He asked puzzledly: "Chen Xiao, when did you come? How come you are so familiar with the roads here?"
Chen Xiao glanced at him and said, "I just arrived at the Mechanical Island today. To be exact, it's been less than two hours."
Tong Nuonuo widened his eyes and said in surprise: "How do you know the way to the venue when you just arrived today?" He was a little panicked, "Are you taking the right route?"
Chen Xiao said: "When your master left, I noticed that he went southwest. So the overall direction is definitely correct. If you don't believe me, look at your compass."
Tong Nuonuo took out the pointer and the direction it indicated where Quezhai Sanren was was indeed the direction they wanted to go.
Tong Nuonuo said incredulously: "I can understand that the direction is correct, but how did you determine the road? You know, we turned several corners along the way."
Chen Xiao said calmly, "At that time, in order to find you as quickly as possible, I jumped onto the eaves and roughly scanned the street. I had a rough idea of the direction and distance of the street."
Tong Nuonuo didn't say anything for a long time, feeling that he had suffered a huge blow. How could the gap between people be so big?
Looking at Xiaoxiao's strong sense of direction and her sense of space that she could understand at a glance, I instantly felt inferior...
Chen Xiao ran with Tong Nuonuo for about half an hour, and then left the city and arrived at the edge of a large forest.
There was a paved road here, and along the road they soon saw the venue where the Dharma Assembly on the Mechanical Island was held.
There was a competition going on on the platform at the moment. Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo slowed down their pace and slowly approached and stood behind the crowd.
"It's those people!" Tong Nuonuo whispered to Chen Xiao with gritted teeth.
Following Tong Nonuo's instructions, Chen Xiao saw several people standing in the corner. At this critical moment of the competition, they did not notice Tong Nonuo at all, and everyone was nervously focusing on the operation in their hands.
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't understand mechanical engineering, he once shared a workshop with Tong Nuonuo. The level of proficiency of these people's movements was far inferior to Tong Nuonuo.
Not to mention that compared with Tong Nuonuo's orderly and smooth performance when making the mechanism, his level of panic and mistakes made in a hurry is like heaven and earth.
Chen Xiao's anger over his companions being framed immediately subsided a lot. Getting angry with such guys was a complete waste of time and energy.
He turned to Tong Nuonuo and said, "Such villains are not worth mentioning at all. Getting angry with them is a waste of your life."
Although Tong Nuonuo felt that what Chen Xiao said made sense, it was not easy for her to calm down her anger.
Chen Xiao said: "All you have to do is win the competition. The higher you stand, the bigger the blow to them. The higher your achievements, the more unhappy they will feel."
Thinking that these people would be unhappy, Tong Nuonuo felt comfortable instantly.
He nodded: "I understand what you mean. I won't be distracted by these unworthy things. I will concentrate on the competition!"
