Chapter 108 Chapter 108

Li Qingshan ran down the mountain and bumped into Taylor's arms.

Taylor smiled and said, "You came down so soon?"

Li Qingshan nodded and showed him what he had in his hand.

Taylor looked at it and smiled, "Not bad, go get your breakfast!"

Li Qingshan nodded, walked to the old servant, handed over the things, and the old servant handed him a breakfast.

The breakfast was packed in a wooden box.

He opened the box and saw that there was a bowl of porridge, a plate of white radish with red and green peppers, a boiled egg, a finger-sized white sweet bun, and a slightly larger leaf-shaped vegetable bun. The bottom was greasy and smelled salty.

Li Qingshan glanced at Taylor, who smiled and said, "My share is gone, otherwise you would have been knocked over by me when you came down!"

Li Qingshan nodded, found a seat nearby, and ate with big mouthfuls. When he was almost finished, the last person finally came down from the mountain.

This person was thin and tall, but he didn't seem to exercise much. When he came down, his legs trembled and he staggered with every step. He tried his best to bend his waist, as if he could save some energy, but he was also concerned about saving some face in front of everyone, so he tried to straighten his back, trying to make others think that he was very relaxed when he came down, but it gave people the opposite feeling.

He looked so tired, as if he was neither bending nor straightening his body. If there was a blanket in front of him, he would immediately roll over it, lie on the ground, and fall asleep with his eyes closed. He

tried to keep his eyes open, but they were not round. Perhaps it was because his eyelids covered part of his pupils that made him look listless. There were heavy dark circles under his eyes. I don't know if they were there originally or they just appeared later.

His face was very red, as if he was hot or tired, but he was not breathing heavily, just walking slowly.

When I saw him, the second to last person still had half of his breakfast left.

When he walked in front of the old servant, the second person had finished eating. He looked at him with a sidelong look, and used the half-bitten steamed bun in his hand to wipe the empty porridge bowl. Finally, he put the bun into his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it.

The last person stood in front of the old servant and spoke slowly: "I have brought the things back. I want breakfast!"

He handed the things in his hand out.

The old servant took a look, and a smile flashed with a subtle meaning. When he raised his head, the smile on his face was the same as before. He nodded and said: "Okay, breakfast is ready for you."

He took the breakfast box from the servant next to him and handed it out.

"Why is there only this much?" Ruoji frowned and took it. He took a look at the contents of the box and immediately became furious. His hands shook and he almost threw the box to the ground. However, he probably considered that this might be his only breakfast, so he didn't really throw it to the ground.

However, Li Qingshan suspected that his hands were shaking because he was too tired, and that he was getting angry to give himself an excuse, fearing that he would be considered too weak.

The old servant smiled insightfully, "If you can come back earlier, there will be more things. It's not too late. We will have lunch soon. You can eat more."

Ruoji frowned and gritted his teeth, glared at the old servant, and angrily took the food to the side and ate it in big mouthfuls. He also asked the servant next to him for a glass of water.

After everyone finished eating, the old servant said, "The kitchen will prepare your lunch and dinner, but please do not enter the kitchen casually, or the chef will be angry, and the host does not like guests to be too casual.

Lunch time is from noon to two o'clock, and dinner time is from six to eight o'clock in the afternoon. You can move freely during the rest of the time. There will be no food after the time.

When the time comes, if you want to eat, you can wait in the restaurant, and the servants will bring the food from the kitchen to the restaurant. The tableware will be delivered to the kitchen by the servants, and someone will clean the restaurant. Guests can leave after eating."

Ruoji whispered beside him, "No need to wash things, that sounds good."

Guihua glanced at him and whispered even more, "Staying here is much more dangerous than washing things!"

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the middle-aged man seemed to be missing, so they went to ask the old servant.

The old servant looked at Li Qingshan calmly, and smiled thoughtfully: "Maybe he got lost, or something happened, anyway, he hasn't come back yet!"

Li Qingshan blinked and squeezed towards Taylor.

Guihua frowned and asked: "Then shouldn't we look for him?"

Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.

Ruoji sneered and asked aggressively: "I've come back, but he hasn't. As you can imagine, it's going to be dangerous! Who cares whether he comes back or not? He can come back or not! It's better if he doesn't come back. There will be one less troublemaker and it will be much quieter! What's more, we are not related or friends at all

. Why do you care so much about other people's business? Is there something going on between you two? Or did you know each other before?" Guihua raised her eyebrows and was speechless for a while. After a long while, she sighed and said, "That's right. We are not related or friends at all. I shouldn't care so much. I'm just a little worried about him." Ruoji

snorted and smiled, "Worry about yourself!"

Guihua glanced at him and said nothing more, just shook her head.

"He's in the mountains anyway," the old servant said with a smile, "If he comes back, we'll know. Everyone, let's go back to the house now, so we can have lunch. If we're late, we don't know what we'll have! What do you think?"

The crowd immediately became noisy, shouting that they wanted to go back to eat immediately.

A big white fat man frowned, pounded his arms and legs, and trembled with fat all over his body, saying, "I'm really tired today! Climbing the mountain makes my whole body hurt! I'm starving if I don't eat! The bed here is also hard, and I can't sleep well. It's really annoying. If the food is not delicious, I will definitely make a scene!"

Everyone laughed, as if they had forgotten what happened just now in an instant, and happily followed the old servant back to the house, sat in the restaurant, and waited for lunch.

It was a long table with two long stools. There were people sitting in front and behind, but the stools they sat on were short and small, unlike the ones on the left and right.

The lunch was very rich, with a roasted suckling pig and a roasted whole lamb, a pot of boiled broccoli, a plate of tempura lettuce and tempura fried shrimp, and a plate of chives and eggs.

Rice was all you could eat, so there were two wooden barrels on the side of the table. If one bowl was not enough, you could add more.

The hot food was placed on the table, and the table was steaming, like a fairyland, but the delicious smell of the food pulled people back to the human world from the fairyland.

People were feasting.

Li Qingshan tentatively extended his silver fork to the sliced ​​roast suckling pig.

A gust of wind blew, and he suddenly smelled a bit of fishy smell, so he retracted his hand, hesitated, and extended his fork to the roasted whole lamb not far away.

But this time, he smelled a bit of strange smell again, as if it was the smell of lamb, but he couldn't be sure. He frowned and had to retract his fork, staring at the broccoli not far away in a daze.

Taylor smiled.

Li Qingshan picked up a broccoli, a tempura shrimp and a piece of tempura lettuce, thinking that these two things could also be paired with rice, so he started to eat them with a crunch.

But before he took a bite, he was stunned again, raised his head, and the expression on his face was mixed with a bit of confusion.

Taylor got serious and approached him and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Li Qingshan frowned and said, "I heard a strange crunching sound."

Taylor smiled and said, "Everyone is eating, this is not strange, right?"

Li Qingshan shook his head slowly and said in a very low voice, "No! This sound came from far away, different from the sound of everyone eating, very light, with a hint of blood, like chewing bones."

This kind of words ruined his appetite, so he didn't want others to hear it.

After Li Qingshan finished speaking, he took another bite of broccoli and heard the crunching sound again.

Taylor asked, "Maybe you made it yourself?"

Li Qingshan laughed dumbly and shook his head, "If it was me, how could the sound be so far away?"

Taylor nodded, "That's right, let's eat first and see later!"

After lunch, people left the restaurant one after another. The driver ate slowly, as if he wanted to stay until the end. Li Qingshan and Taylor sat next to him and watched him.

After he finished eating, he wiped the corners of his lips with a napkin, glanced at them and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Seven days later," Li Qingshan hesitated, "Will the new bus really come?"

The driver nodded: "Yes."

Li Qingshan asked again: "Do we have to wait for the new bus?"

The driver smiled: "Yes."

Li Qingshan stared at him and asked: "Is there any problem with the original bus? The driver is here, the bus is here, and the passengers are here. In theory, it is completely possible to drive that bus back!"

The driver smiled slowly and said, "This is the terminal stop of the bus. It has to rest for seven days before it can depart. I can't leave. Besides, that bus is only responsible for coming, not leaving. If it wants to leave, it will not take passengers. Only I can leave."

"What if you must leave?" Li Qingshan asked tentatively.

"That's against the rules," the driver said with a half-smile, "I can't go, you can, but the road here is narrow and foggy. You are just passengers and are not familiar with it. It's hard to say whether you can get out. It's much easier to flip over on the road! You might get lost after driving out, which is worse than staying here. Do you want to try?"

Li Qingshan shook his head in silence.

Guihua, who was sitting next to him, blinked, took a breath of cool air, and muttered to herself: "Is there no way?"

The driver didn't know whether to persuade or intimidate, and smiled with a hint of meaning: "Won't it be fine to wait seven days? It's not certain that you will die!"

After that, he left.

"What are your plans in the future?" Guihua approached Li Qingshan carefully and asked.

Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "How can we have a plan?"

Guihua's eyes widened and asked in surprise: "Don't you have a plan? If you don't have a plan, how can you come here? You didn't get on the car to come here! We had no choice, you can't say it was careless, right?"

Guihua smiled, as if joking.

Li Qingshan smiled slightly: "We really don't have a plan!"

Guihua's smile froze, and the whole person was stunned. It took a long time for her to come back to her senses. She opened her mouth and asked in a dry and hoarse voice, quite shocked: "You don't have a plan?"

"Yes!" Li Qingshan nodded.

"Then what are you doing here?" Guihua frowned and asked unwillingly.

"We are here for tourism!" Li Qingshan said with a warm smile.

Guihua was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Taylor, hoping to get a negative answer from him, but Taylor also smiled, and that smile was exactly the same as Li Qingshan's, and his voice was also: "Yes!"

Guihua looked at their faces. Although their faces looked different, the feeling at that moment was the same, just like the same person. This was too weird.

Guihua began to feel scared and stepped back, but still felt unsafe, so she immediately stood up and kicked the stool, which shook behind her.

Guihua's eyes moved around, looking up and down but not at the two of them, as if she was afraid that they would suddenly turn into a ghost face and pounce over. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I always feel a little sleepy after eating, especially at noon. I usually have the habit of taking a nap. I plan to go back and rest now. Do you want to come with me?"

Guihua prayed frantically in her heart: Don't come with me, don't come with me, don't go back with me!

Li Qingshan and Taylor looked at each other, nodded, and said with a smile: "Okay."

Guihua shuddered and smiled quickly: "I'm really too sleepy now, I didn't hear clearly, what were you talking about just now? Otherwise, I'd better go back alone first? You don't have to come with me!

I can walk alone, I know the road. It's daytime now, there are people everywhere, there is no danger at all, I want to go back! You don't have to see me off! Really!

Don't follow me, I will be scared if I turn around suddenly and see someone behind me!"

After saying a string of words like a machine gun, Guihua turned around and ran, as if there was a tiger chasing her from behind. She was so fast that she disappeared after rushing out the door. Her footsteps were heavy, dong dong dong, like beating drums, and you could hear that she was particularly panicked.

Li Qingshan looked at Taylor and smiled: "She seems afraid of us?"

Taylor laughed dumbly: "Really?"

The fat white man who was still eating crazily next to him suddenly raised his head, stretched out his hand tentatively and asked: "Do you want those in front of you? If you have eaten enough, can you give them to me?"

He was a little embarrassed and smiled: "I'm still a little hungry, I can still eat!"

Li Qingshan and Taylor nodded and gave him the extra food. He was very happy and immediately put the food in front of himself, like a squirrel counting pine cones, with a beaming face, and told them that they could call him North Pole.

Li Qingshan nodded and asked, "Are you interested in the food here?"

Beiji smiled and said, "I'm interested in food everywhere! Any food is good! I'm very hungry! You can tell from my body shape that I want to eat a lot of things. I don't have to pay for meals here, so how can I not eat? That would be such a waste!"

Li Qingshan nodded and asked, "What do you think of the taste of these foods?"

Beiji raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised: "Didn't you eat some?"

Li Qingshan smiled and said, "But some of them you didn't eat. You ate them all. I want to know what the ones I didn't eat taste like. There are some things I don't eat in those things, and it's hard to pick out the seasonings, so I have to ask you."

Beiji nodded doubtfully . Describing it as follows: "They are all delicious! Fatty but not greasy, oily but not muddy, shiny, beautiful and delicious, crispy on the surface, and the skin is well made. It should be inflated first, then grilled with fruit wood, and coated with a layer of oil fried with seasonings. The taste will be better, plus some side dishes like cucumber and some dough, it is perfect! It's also very good now, eating meat with big mouthfuls, but there is no wine, which makes it a little less interesting."

Li Qingshan nodded: "Okay, thank you!"

He stood up and said to Taylor: "We've eaten enough, it's time to go, shall we go back to the room?"

Taylor nodded: "Okay!"

The two got up and left, Beiji was still eating with his head down, eating with big mouthfuls, as if he was still very hungry, just like before he had eaten.

Halfway through the journey, Guihua suddenly ran back in a panic, with messy hair, red face, and sweat on her forehead and neck, as if she was very hot. When she saw them from a distance, her eyes lit up, and she was not afraid at all. She immediately ran over, as if she had found a savior. She looked like two completely different people.

Li Qingshan and Taylor stopped, a little confused.

Guihua ran to them, lowered her head and panted, and soon raised her head again, panting, and tried to say to them: "Oh no, oh no! I saw, I saw..."

The two frowned and stared at Guihua, wanting to urge her, "What did you see? Tell me quickly!"

But Guihua panted hard, as if she was very thirsty. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and trembled, not knowing whether it was because of fear or because she was too tired, and said, "The young girl who disappeared this morning is back!"

Li Qingshan and Taylor widened their eyes, took a breath of cool air, looked at each other, and were very surprised.

They thought that the person was either dead or missing, and would not come back. Unexpectedly, before a day, the person appeared again.

This is really strange!

There seems to be no precedent of missing people reappearing in this village before.

However, the person did not go out after all. Maybe, she was not missing, but just escaped from the room but did not leave the village. She hid for a while. Now it is dawn, the person has come out, feels safe again, and is very hungry, so she appeared again.

That's possible.

Li Qingshan and Taylor were both excited. If they could meet a young girl, maybe many things could be solved easily, and the whole thing would be much simpler!

But on second thought, Li Qingshan felt a little confused again: "Isn't it a good thing that you're back? Why did you run away?"

Guihua sighed, lowered her head and said: "It's a good thing that I'm back.

However, there are other people in the yard, and they exaggerated what happened before.

The young girl was particularly angry, thinking that you two wanted to kill her on purpose. She even said that what happened last night was most likely you two were playing tricks, and a group of people wanted to settle accounts with you.

I saw that they were not in their right mind, and they were afraid of encountering you. You don't know anything, and you don't have the strength to fight. If something really happens, it will be bad. We are all outsiders, we should unite, how can you start a trouble first?"

Li Qingshan looked at her thoughtfully and asked: "What do you want?"

Guihua raised her head and smiled: "I was in the mountain today. I went up the mountain and saw a wonderful cave that can hide people.

It's still daytime now, it must be safe there, you can hide there temporarily, and make other plans later, I won't tell anyone.

They certainly won't think of going up the mountain to find you. I just came down and I remember the road very well. I can go back with my eyes closed. I will never get lost! Do you want to come with me?

I don't want to see you fighting! I really don't want to! It won't be good for any of us.

What's more, I'm just a woman who is no longer young. In terms of strength, speed, and thinking, I'm afraid I'm not good enough. I don't want to hold others back, nor do I want to be the first to be left behind when something happens!

I want to leave here as soon as possible. Please believe me, time is running out. "

Li Qingshan lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

Guihua turned around and stamped her feet, her face full of anxiety and said, "Hurry up! They will be here soon! They know that you will still be in the cafeteria when they leave! They

must be looking for you on this road now! It will be too late if we don't leave now! If we accidentally run into them on the road, I will be in trouble too. I don't want things to turn out like that!"

Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled at Taylor, "You go?"

Taylor knew what he meant and nodded and said, "I understand. Then I'll go and I'll come to find you later."

Guihua was stunned for a moment, not understanding what they meant, and asked anxiously, "Why?"

Li Qingshan straightened his clothes and said, "If both of us run away and they can't find us, they will definitely find it strange. When they think back, they will definitely think that it was you who leaked the information, and we can't hurt you.

You came for us, I If you stay here, they can find me, so they won't suspect you of anything wrong. Although they can't find my friends, it shouldn't be that important.

You can say you were in a hurry to go to the bathroom, and even if others suspect you, they can't do anything to you because they have no evidence, which is also plausible.

They won't target you or leave you alone unless it's necessary, which can ensure your safety, isn't it? Everyone gets the best of both worlds!"

Guihua turned her head back and stamped her feet anxiously, saying, "But if they can't find your friends, they will still suspect me! Isn't it?"

Li Qingshan shook his head: "If they can't find my friends, they will only think that I leaked the news, and it has nothing to do with you.

After all, I'm here, so it's not your turn to leak the news. The relationship between me and my friends is obvious to all, isn't it?"

Seeing that she couldn't convince him, Guihua had to give up and reluctantly nodded and said, "Okay!"

Guihua waved to Taylor and said, "Come with me! I'll take you to a safe place! Nothing will happen there! Don't let your friend down!"

Taylor left.
