Chapter 300 Going South
The two of them lived in peace and tranquility. Soon, more than a month later, Lao Zhang called and asked Bai Yangfan to go to the south, to the mysterious island. He had basically grasped the situation.
Having promised the other person something, Bai Yangfan couldn't go back on his word. He discussed it with Lu Jingheng, made arrangements at home, and the two of them bought tickets to head south.
Also going there were the lively Zhang Yong, Bai Han, Fei Wen, and Xu Keshan.
The brothers knew that their boss was going to the south to explore the mysterious island, and several of them asked Zhu Houde to go with him to broaden his horizons.
Unable to resist these people's constant nagging, Zhu Houde agreed. It just so happened that there was nothing to do during this period, so it was a period of rest.
He had heard that place was very weird, so since his granddaughter had gone there, he might as well let them all go.
One is to broaden his horizons, and the other is to protect the safety of his granddaughter.
One more person means one more security. If anything happens, there is strength in numbers.
Five men and one woman bought six sleeper tickets and took a train south.
It was fine when we first set out. The car was quite quiet and everyone was very friendly.
Later, as everyone got to know each other better, it became noisy, with endless chattering.
It was Bai Yangfan's first time to take such a slow train. She lay in the sleeper for a whole day and felt very tired. Just as the train arrived at the station, she planned to get off and take a walk.
She got out of bed and put on her shoes, and Lu Jingheng followed suit.
"Set sail! Do you want to get off?"
"Yes! Let's go down and see if there's anything delicious, and buy some while we're at it."
"Stay in the carriage and don't run around."
Lu Jingheng was afraid that Zhang Yong and the others would disturb his alone time with the woman, so he casually gave them a task and happily followed Bai Yangfan out of the car.
The air in the train compartment was incomparable to the air outside. When he arrived at the platform, Bai Yangfan took several breaths of fresh air, stretched his tired body, and began to look for delicious food.
Unfortunately, the food in this era was still very limited. Apart from steamed buns, steamed buns, steamed rolls, noodles, rice noodles, etc., there seemed to be nothing special. There was not even bread.
Lu Jingheng, who was following her, was also looking around to see if he could find any fresh food.
They didn't encounter any thieves or human traffickers. They bought some buns and steamed buns, and then they waited until the train was about to leave before returning to the carriage.
Nothing unusual happened along the way, and the six people arrived in the south safely.
After getting off the bus, a few people had their meal and rested for a while, then went to the long-distance bus station to catch another bus.
The place where Lao Zhang and his friends were was quite remote. After getting off the train, they had to take a bus for more than three hours, then take a tractor, or walk for two hours to get there.
When I got off the train, no one picked me up, so I bought my own bus ticket.
After leaving the bus station, I saw someone holding a sign that said "Welcome Bai Yangfan". Several people surrounded him. The man was a little suspicious when he saw so many people coming.
"I'll only take over Bai Yangfan, and the rest of you can figure it out on your own."
Bai Yangfan felt that the people arranged by Lao Zhang were very interesting. What was the difference between picking her up alone and picking up a group of people?
Aren't we all going to his place? What does it matter if there's one more or a few more?
Are all physics researchers so straightforward? He doesn't mince words, and he's definitely a straight man in science and engineering.
actually······
Bai Yangfan misunderstood.
The person who came to pick her up was a young man in his twenties, wearing a pair of small glasses. He was gentle and clean, and looked quite nice.
His name is Dai Siwen. He is a graduate student. He has been a top student since childhood and a top student in college.
When I came to Lao Zhang's team, I lacked experience and had no chance to truly demonstrate my abilities, so I could only do odd jobs like serving tea and water.
Hearing that Bai Yangfan was coming today, Lao Zhang sent him to the county bus station to pick him up. He only gave him the travel expenses for one person and didn't give him more, saying that the group was short of funds.
When the honest Comrade Xiao Dai saw so many people coming, he panicked and said that. His original intention was to reimburse only Bai Yangfan's travel expenses, and the rest of the people had to pay for it themselves.
What he said was too general, and people didn't understand what he meant, and thought he was too rigid.
Zhang Yong laughed heartily: "Then what should we do?"
Bai Han was also amused: "Are they asking us to walk? I looked around but didn't see any car."
Fei Wen looked at Lu Jingheng: "Boss! What do you think? He only accepts Xiaobai, so what should we do?"
Lu Jingheng replied angrily, "How should I know? Just figure it out on your own. At worst, we can just take Yang Fan back with us."
Xu Keshan didn't say anything, but just smiled, thinking that the boss was really brave.
Taking Xiaobai back with them? They had come all the way from Kyoto and hadn't seen anything, so they were going back now? Even if they were willing, Xiaobai probably wouldn't agree.
This was said only to scare the science and engineering guy in front of him. If Xiaobai really went back, Lao Zhang would definitely scold this rigid science and engineering guy.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Dai Siwen immediately became flustered and shook his hands and said, "No, you can't take Bai Yangfan away. She is a guest invited by our Mr. Zhang.
If you want to leave, you go ahead. She has to come back with me. I'm here to pick her up, not you. You're not within my reach, so leave now!"
Seeing Comrade Dai, who was almost driven to despair and whose speech was almost incoherent, Bai Yangfan glared at Lu Jingheng in dissatisfaction: "Why are you teasing him for no reason? Who said we were going back?"
Even though a woman humiliated him in front of so many people, Lu Jingheng didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "I just thought this guy was interesting, so I teased him. I didn't expect him to get so anxious. Okay! I won't tease him anymore. Let's go!"
Zhang Yong, Bai Han, Fei Wen and Xu Keshan all looked up at the sky, trying to look like "we were distracted and didn't hear anything" so that the boss wouldn't get angry and take it out on them.
Lu Jingheng: "..." You think too much, I don't care about you. Protecting my woman is important. Didn't you see that the science and engineering guy's eyes kept glancing at my woman? I have to defend his rights.
Dai Siwen: “…” “Unfair! I was clearly glancing at you, why are you so scared of Bai Yangfan? What’s your relationship?”
Fortunately, no one knew the doubts in his heart, otherwise there would be several voices answering him.
The group got on the hand tractor. Dai Siwen only paid for himself and Bai Yangfan, and did not pay for the others, asking them to pay for their own.
At this point, Lu Jingheng roughly understood what this person meant.
The tractor drove on the road for a long time, winding in many directions, before arriving at a small fishing village.
There are only about twenty or thirty households in the village, and they live very scattered and not concentrated together.
Lao Zhang and his team’s base is located in the sea area near the mysterious island, which is an abandoned stone house.
The old man was very happy to see Bai Yangfan and kept waving at her: "Child! You are here! Welcome! Welcome!"
