Chapter 846 We Are All Living Lei Feng
On the way to the Hobbit Village, Zhao Hu and Song Ci sat one in front of the other, with expressions that almost said "I am a bodyguard" on their faces.
Xiaoyan and Azhi sat on the other side, glancing out the window vigilantly from time to time.
To ease the tension, I deliberately asked Mara loudly, "I heard that Hobbits are very short. Are their houses also very short? Can you go inside?"
Marla looked me over amusedly. "There are some houses you can get into,"
She pointed at Azhi and said, "It might take him some effort to get in, but you will have no problem. You might even be able to get into some houses without even bending over."
Thank you so much for being so sincere.
Huang Tianyi winked and nudged me with her elbow. "It's rare to experience the advantage of my height. It feels pretty good, right?"
I rolled my eyes and thank you so much for your comfort.
After a two and a half hour drive, we finally arrived at the Hobbit Village.
As soon as you get off the car, you will see rolling green hills dotted with dozens of colorful round Hobbit cave houses.
Each cave house has its own little tricks, making people feel as if they really live here.
Some round wooden doors were half-open, some windowsills were blooming with bright flowers, some small gardens surrounded by fences were growing cabbages, and there were even floral aprons hanging on the clotheslines.
In the distance, the mill waterwheel is turning, and the iconic Bag End with its goose yellow round gate blends into the hillside behind it.
Walking in, the air was filled with the fragrance of freshly cut grass, mixed with the aroma of malt wafting from the Green Dragon Tavern. The feeling of a fairy tale world seemed a little too real.
"Everyone, please pay attention," Mara said, holding up the loudspeaker, "You must follow the guide throughout the scenic area and do not leave the group without permission.
Especially when taking photos, please pay attention to your feet."
Xiaoyan immediately seized the opportunity and turned around to say to us, "Did you hear that? Stay close to the team!"
These words were clearly meant for us, but I felt like they were meant for the spies hiding in the dark, to let them know that we would act as a team throughout the entire process and that they didn't need to try to target me.
But today, Xiaoyan and the other three were eager to keep their eyes and ears open. Song Ci even brought a drone with him to take aerial photos and observe the situation, but they could not see the figure of the Maori young man.
"Didn't he come with you today?" Zhao Hu whispered to Song Ci in confusion.
"Maybe he went out to check the almanac and felt that it was not a good day to take action?" Huang Tianyi, who had been listening at the side, spoke nonsense heartlessly.
Xiao Yan frowned, "Maybe they're afraid of being noticed by us if they show up two days in a row, so they might have changed people today."
Song Ci looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "Yeah, isn't it the same for everyone to take turns when we arrange for surveillance in our team?"
"Yes, it's possible," Zhao Hu nodded. "Everyone, please be alert and be vigilant. Look around to see if there's anything suspicious."
While visiting Bag End, Huang Tianyi suddenly tugged at me and said, "Mengmeng, look at that staff member."
Following her gaze, I saw a staff member wearing a straw hat bending over to trim bushes, but his movements were obviously clumsy and he kept glancing at us from time to time.
"Don't stare at him," Xiao Yan calmly stood in front of me, "Xiao Song, go over and find a way to confirm it."
Huang Tianyi couldn't help but look at the man twice more, but the man didn't avoid her gaze at all, and grinned at her.
After a while, Song Ci came back and reported in a low voice: "He is indeed an employee of the scenic area. He has been employed for less than half a month."
Zhao Hu narrowed his eyes. "The timing is too coincidental. Keep observing."
While drinking ginger beer at the Green Dragon Tavern, Song Ci pretended to take a selfie, but actually took pictures of all the guests in the tavern with his mobile phone.
Pang Xiaomin didn't understand what was going on, and even came over and made a scissors gesture: "Take a few more pictures!"
On the way back, everyone who had been playing all day started to feel sleepy as soon as they got on the bus.
I was leaning against the car window and drowsy when I suddenly felt my phone vibrate. I closed my eyes and tried to ignore it, but it soon vibrated again.
I forced my eyes open and looked at my phone. It was a message from Xiaoyan: [There is a suspicious vehicle following me.]
【It’s not certain now, so please be alert.】
I suddenly woke up from my doze, and through the rearview mirror, I saw a silver Toyota following us slowly, always keeping a fixed distance from us.
"Mara," Zhao Hu suddenly said, "Can we take a detour to a nearby farm? I heard there are alpacas to see in this area."
Although this was not on the itinerary, Mara agreed good-temperedly and asked the driver to take a side road.
Sure enough, the Toyota followed slowly.
Zhao Hu suddenly stood up and said to Mara, "Mara, can you ask the driver to stop for a moment? I need to find a place to relieve myself."
"Okay," Mara quickly shouted something to the driver, who pulled over to the side of the road.
I felt that he was definitely not just going to the bathroom, so I kept following him, curious about what he wanted to do.
As soon as the car stopped, Zhao Hu jumped out. He pretended to find a place to relieve himself. As he walked through the middle of the road, he quietly grabbed something from his pocket and threw it on the ground.
"Mengmeng, Uncle Zhao went downstairs to relieve himself. Can you please stop staring at him like that?" Huang Tianyi whispered in my ear.
I turned my head away awkwardly. “What are you talking about? I’m just looking at the scenery.”
As we were talking, the Toyota behind us drove past us, but soon stopped about thirty meters ahead.
"Oh, that car seems to have a problem!" Zhao Hu ran back with a look of concern and shouted to Song Ci, "Xiao Zhang, let's go over and see if we can help."
"Okay, Brother Zhao."
Mara's eyes sparkled with emotion: "You Chinese are so kind!"
"Well, we are all living Lei Feng!" Huang Tianyi replied with a dry laugh.
So a group of us went to help together. We saw the car door open and an old man took a step forward to get out of the car. When he saw a group of us coming towards him, he panicked and retracted his leg and closed the car door.
Well, they think we are robbers. Mara went forward and communicated with the old man through the window, and then the car door opened again.
When we got closer, we saw that there was an elderly couple in the car and a little girl of six or seven years old in the back seat.
Needless to say, we were wrong.
When the old man learned that we were tourists from China and came to help change the tire, he seemed very touched.
But I felt guilty for suspecting him and deliberately puncturing his tire.
The old lady led her granddaughter out of the car and expressed her gratitude to us in a very emotional voice.
"What a coincidence! If I hadn't met you, it would have been really hard for my husband to change the tire by himself.
Where are you going?"
