Chapter 52 Temporary Babysitter
The twins were arranged to get on an off-road vehicle. They exchanged glances secretly, but Shen Yu didn't say anything. Was the matter so easy?
The convoy drove down the mountain, the car in front continued to head back to the city, and the off-road vehicle turned right at the fork in the road and left the convoy.
The twins realized something was wrong and became anxious: "What do you want to do? Where are you taking us?"
The car passed a winding mountain road and went deeper into the mountains. Gradually, the road became narrower and more rugged, and then turned into a bumpy dirt road.
This mountain is more primitive than Dongyu Mountain. It has not been developed yet. The dense forest blocks out the sun. Not to mention there is no camping site, even flat land is rare. Except for some backpackers who like to challenge the extreme, few people come here.
The SUV stopped in a completely unfamiliar forest. Yue Zifeng threw the two people and their luggage out of the car and clapped his hands.
"You've never been to this mountain before? I haven't been here either. It's time to test your sense of direction."
The twins immediately understood what he was going to do: "You can't leave us here!"
"We have never been here before. Who knows if there are any wild animals like snakes or wolves? This deep forest is very dangerous. How can two girls like us spend the night in the mountains?"
Shen Yu, wearing mountaineering clothes, still looked gentle and elegant, but his voice was very cold: "Xiaojiu can spend the night in the mountains, why can't you?"
The two wanted to cry but had no tears. They begged, "It was Manman who told us to sit down. We really don't dare to do it again. Please! I will be respectful to Miss Song in the future and never talk nonsense again!"
Shen Yu remained indifferent: "Why did she hit you last time? What did you say to her?"
The two of them had flickering eyes, and they were too guilty to dare to answer.
Shen Yu said: "Do you need me to pry open your mouths?"
Seeing Yue Zifeng really pick up a stick, the two of them were so scared that they quickly opened their mouths: "We were just chatting a few words..."
Then, trembling with fear, he repeated what he had said in front of Shen Yu, but in a less unpleasant way.
The wind blew through the treetops, and the rustling sound made people's backs cold. Shen Yu's face was as cold as frost in the shadow of the deep forest.
Yue Zifeng was so angry: "They are not biological siblings, but they are no different from biological siblings. Don't insult them with your obscene and dirty eyes! Damn it, I really should tear your mouths apart!"
"The road to the mountain will be blocked for three days, and no one will come here. After three days, you can try to see if you can walk back to Yancheng."
Shen Yu didn't waste any more time with them and turned around and got in the car.
This place is nearly 70 kilometers away from the city, and the mountain road is rugged. There was no help from heaven or earth. The two of them cried and knocked on the car door: "We have no food or water. If you leave us here, we will really die!"
"Three days, you won't die!" Yue Zifeng said fiercely, "There is so much water on this mountain, drink it if you are thirsty, and look for it in the bamboo forest if you are hungry. Maybe there are bamboo leaf green snakes. Skewer them and roast them to eat. Anyway, you two are more poisonous than them. Eat them and fight poison with poison. Maybe it can be cured."
After saying that, he closed the car window and drove away.
As they were bumping down the mountain, Yue Zifeng kept cursing, "It was all that stupid Song Leyan's fault. She spread rumors like that! The Song family doesn't know how to educate their children. They raised such an idiot. If this was my sister, I would give her a slap in the face to death!"
Shen Yu didn't say a word from beginning to end. Yue Zifeng saw him rubbing his brows and then shut up.
He Tingzhou was sick and was leaning on the back seat with his eyes closed, while Zuo Zhong was driving.
Shuang Xu lowered his head to play with his phone. After a while, he heard He Tingzhou's hoarse voice ask beside him, "Is there any water?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Zuo Zhong handed over a bottle of purified water while driving.
He Tingzhou refused: "I want to drink hot water."
"I forgot you had a fever." Zuo Zhong was not yet old enough to keep his thermos in his hand all the time, and He Tingzhou was not the type of person who drank hot water on a normal day, so he did not prepare any when he got on the bus.
"Then hold on for a while. We'll be there in almost an hour."
He Tingzhou didn't say anything. Shuang Xu felt a pair of eyes falling on him. He turned around and looked at him for a few seconds.
She silently handed over the thermos bottle in her bag. It was Shen Yu who packed it for her.
The eldest master still refused to answer and said righteously, "It's hot."
It's really hard to please. Shuang Xu had no choice but to pour hot water into the cup lid, blew on it a few times, and then gave it to him when he felt it was ready.
He Tingzhou then raised his delicate hand, took it, and took a sip. It was still a little hot, so he frowned, but did not complain and drank it slowly.
After finishing a cup, he returned the cup lid to Shuang Xu: "I'm hungry."
Zuo Zhong said, "I have some energy bars here, would you like some?"
He Tingzhou: "Too dry."
"bread?"
“Not fresh.”
"Banana, apple, orange?"
“No.”
Zuo Zhong sighed: "Then what do you want to eat, my master?"
The gaze fell on Shuang Xu again. Stare.
She was also helpless: "I have nothing to eat."
He Tingzhou condescended and said, "Then peel an orange for me."
“…”
Shuang Xu had no choice but to bring the orange over to him and peel it.
I have been taken care of by Shen Yu since I was a child, but now I have become his temporary babysitter and am forced to serve him for half an hour without complaint.
When we arrived at the toll station, Lu Manman came over from another car, knocked on the window, and sat in the passenger seat.
"Where did Shen Yu take them?"
"Don't worry." Zuo Zhong said in a good-natured tone, "Don't kill people, don't dump bodies, and live in a society ruled by law."
It was obvious that Shen Yu would teach them a lesson. Lu Manman was silent for a moment: "Should I have been in that car?"
Zuo Zhong saw that she was in a bad mood and comforted her: "What are you thinking about? That matter has nothing to do with you. There are so many of us here, how can you let them wrongly accuse you?"
"Zifeng didn't tell me that you were going to give me the ring." Lu Manman said this to Shuang Xu, "I didn't know the ring was with you."
Zuo Zhong, who was driving, immediately looked at her in surprise: "Then what did my sister say to Zifeng just now..."
Halfway through the conversation, I realized that the two of them were trying to save her situation.
Shuang Xu remained calm and said, "Just get off the step I gave you. Why are you talking so much?"
"Why do you believe me?" Lu Manman said like a genuine little girl, "Even your brother doesn't believe me."
"I didn't say I believed you. I was just giving face to your cousin."
After Shuang Xu said this, He Tingzhou raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
She didn't notice and continued, "Otherwise you won't be able to get off the stage, my brother will be in a dilemma, and Tingzhou brother will also have a hard time. It will be bad for everyone if you make such an ugly scene."
"Why is it so difficult for me to do this?" He Tingzhou asked.
"She's your cousin. If things get bad, you must protect her."
"Why should I protect her?" He Tingzhou said in a cold and ruthless tone, without any brotherly love. "I am weak and powerless, and I can't protect such a big blind person."
“…”
You can't tame a chicken, but you can tame a poisonous snake.
Lu Manman puffed up her cheeks and felt sulky for a while, but she knew he was right.
"Okay, I have to take responsibility for the problems with my friends." She turned to look at Shuang Xu, "But I really didn't instruct them to bully you. Do you believe me?"
Shuang Xuduan looked at her for a moment, and Lu Manman's eyes were sincere and frank.
After meeting Lu Manman for a few times, I can actually see what kind of person she is. She is well protected by her family, naive, worldly-wise, but not worldly-wise.
She did have some jealousy towards Shuang Xu as a woman, but she always spoke her mind.
Shuang Xu said: "I never doubted you."
Lu Manman's mouth immediately clenched and she looked like she was about to cry.
"Don't cry." Shuang Xu said again, "I don't believe in your character, I just think you are not that stupid."
What's the point of her staying outside all night? Shen Yu would be distressed if he knew about it, or if he found out that she was missing that night, even if it didn't rain, he would affect the proposal ceremony in order to find her.
For Lu Manman, the gains outweigh the losses.
Rather than resorting to such despicable tricks, Lu Manman should have hoped to witness her and Shen Yu's happiness with her own eyes.
"It's all the same, as long as you trust me." Lu Manman understood clearly.
The car drove to Songming Road. When Shuangxu got off the car, Lu Manman followed her and hugged her.
The proposal she had been looking forward to was a failure, and she was almost wrongly accused. Although Shen Yu did not blame her, his attitude made her very sad.
When she was doubted, the person she loved the most did not stand by her and support her. The only person who believed in her was Shuang Xu.
She sniffed and said with a choked voice, "Xiaojiu, thank you."
