When Jiang Xiaoxiao walked in, they could see clearly that the unknown object in her hand was actually a red brick!
"Huh? Who bullied you?" Jiang Xiaoxiao clearly saw on her phone that several men were surrounding the two of them.
How come I can’t see any of them now?
Shen Mingzhu noticed her doubts and suppressed her smile, "Everyone was scared away by the uncle and aunt!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"But why are you holding a—brick?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at the brick in her hand, looking embarrassed, and then quickly put it down, "I'm not afraid that you can't beat me, so it would be helpful to have a handy tool!"
Wen Shuangnian looked at Shen Mingzhu and then at Jiang Xiaoxiao. No wonder these two could get along so well.
Just now, Shen Mingzhu also thought of finding a brick.
How is this not the tacit understanding between good friends?
The aunt seemed amused by Jiang Xiaoxiao's appearance. "Hahahaha, this little girl is really cute. But you did the right thing. It's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else. Only when we are strong will no one dare to bully us."
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed by the aunt's praise, "I thought you would think I was a little rude just now."
"How could that be? You look the most beautiful when you bravely stand up to protect us!" Shen Mingzhu smiled and gave Jiang Xiaoxiao a thumbs up.
"Um, be careful when you leave school, don't run into those people again."
"Yeah." The three of them said goodbye to the uncle and aunt, and then embarked on their three-person journey.
Because they were not familiar with the process, they spent a long time on the road. After arriving at the B&B at their destination, none of them had the energy to go out for a walk.
Fortunately, the scenery here is nice and there are many entertainment facilities in the B&B.
You don't have to go far to feel the unique sense of relaxation here.
Unlike the bustling Kyoto, the place chosen by Shen Mingzhu is more inclined towards natural scenery.
Shen Mingzhu finally took out the travel guide she had prepared for a long time and filled her schedule for the next day and a half.
Because they are not very familiar with the way to go back, half a day is reserved for them, so they should be able to get back before the school curfew.
After listening to Shen Mingzhu's arrangements, Jiang Xiaoxiao and Wen Shuangnian both looked forward to tomorrow.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. In the middle of the night, Shen Mingzhu got up to drink water and found that the water in the cup began to shake inexplicably.
Her cell phone also vibrated violently, and Shen Mingzhu had a bad feeling.
When I turned on my phone, I saw an earthquake warning.
Alarm bells rang in her heart, and she quickly pulled Wen Shuangnian and Jiang Xiaoxiao, who were still in bed, up and ran to an open place.
The frightened people witnessed with their own eyes the homestay they had just stayed in collapse in an instant.
In just a few minutes, the three-story building was reduced to ruins.
"Oh God! Why do you do this to me!" a man cried towards the collapsed house.
And he is the owner of that B&B.
However, Shen Mingzhu discovered something strange.
The homestay where they were staying was the worst hit by the earthquake.
The other houses nearby have basically not changed much.
As for the condition of the objects inside, it is not very clear.
Fortunately, firefighters and police officers arrived immediately to evacuate and calm the crowd.
After taking inventory of the scene, except for a few people who were reluctant to leave their belongings and did not evacuate immediately and were slightly injured, everyone else was fine.
Shen Mingzhu suddenly remembered that their luggage had been buried in the ruins, and the three of them had lost everything except their cell phones.
She squatted down with a sad face and looked in the direction of the B&B. "What should we do? Our things are all there."
"It's okay, as long as we are okay." Wen Shuangnian gently touched Shen Mingzhu's head.
"And thanks to you for pulling us out just in time, you're awesome!"
"Yeah, if it weren't for Mingzhu, we would all have become meat patties!" Jiang Xiaoxiao said half-jokingly, trying to divert Shen Mingzhu's attention.
But Shen Mingzhu was even more upset, "If I hadn't insisted on choosing this B&B, our losses wouldn't have been so great!"
Wen Shuangnian looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao somewhat helplessly. It was the first time she saw Shen Mingzhu like this.
She was always so bright before, like a little sun, warming everyone. Even if she would feel sad occasionally, she would recover and become more courageous.
Jiang Xiaoxiao understood Wen Shuangnian's doubts, but she did not explain.
Instead, he squatted in front of Shen Mingzhu, imitating her, and then pinched Shen Mingzhu's face hard, "Yes! It's all your fault! I advise you to find those policemen as soon as possible to see if you can recover our losses! Otherwise, we will not let you go!"
Shen Mingzhu waited for Jiang Xiaoxiao to let go before she covered her red face and said aggrievedly, "I know!"
Then she stood up and went to find the police not far away to see how to recover their losses.
Wen Shuangnian was somewhat stunned, "Is this really possible?"
"Mingzhu is blaming herself so much, and you're letting her shoulder all the responsibility?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao saw Shen Mingzhu walked quite far away, then she stood up and looked at Wen Shuangnian.
"What kind of person is Mingzhu in your mind?"
Wen Shuangnian was stumped by this question. She recalled every moment she spent with Shen Mingzhu in her mind before giving her answer.
"Confident, brave, full of energy, always warming others' hearts."
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled, "But what I see is inferiority, cowardice, and a love of showing off."
"Ah?" Wen Shuangnian had never expected that the Shen Mingzhu in Jiang Xiaoxiao's mind would be so different from the one in her mind.
