"So, Captain, you can't let anything slip. I've been working hard for over a year to turn the situation around a little, but you and Grandpa brought me here. I don't even have time to improve my impressions."
"Okay, okay, I'll pay attention."
"Then I'll go wash up."
Tang Ganwen waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Zhou Xiang was tidying up the space. When he heard slight movements outside the space, he carefully observed the outside of the space.
Then a puff of white smoke floated in from the window, and soon the door was pried open.
Two masked men came in. Even with the masks, Zhou Xiang could tell that they were natives here. Perhaps it was because of the climate and soil, or they had mixed with the foreigners across the street, but the people here all had high noses and deep eye sockets. If it weren't for their black hair, it would be impossible to tell whether they were foreigners or not.
The two men lifted the quilt, and there was only a pillow under the quilt. They looked at each other.
I looked under the bed and behind the door, but didn't see anyone, so I had to go home.
Before leaving, one of the men vented his anger by hitting the washbasin with a stick in his hand, causing large pieces of porcelain to fall out of the basin.
There was a loud noise, but no one from the guesthouse came to inspect.
No wonder the waiter was unwilling to book a room for me. It turned out that the nights here were so unsafe for a single person, not to mention that I was a single little girl.
After tidying up the space, I slept in the bedroom for a while, but I didn’t sleep well and kept paying attention to the outside world.
Later, I just got up, petted the cat, ate some fruit, and waited for the team to come and pick me up.
It wasn't until dawn that I heard a knock on the door. "Zhou Xiang, is Comrade Zhou Xiang here? Captain Tang Ganwen sent us to pick you up."
Zhou Xiang walked out of the space with her backpack and opened the door. She saw the waiter looking at her as if she had seen a ghost.
Beside her stood two tall and handsome men.
Zhou Xiang pointed to the basin on the ground and said, "Someone else beat it like this with a stick. It has nothing to do with me."
The waiter nodded repeatedly, "Okay, you don't have to pay for it."
The two men were stunned when they saw that the person they were going to pick up was such a young girl. The captain didn't say it was a young girl!
And it was obvious that someone had entered the room, but the little girl was unharmed? ?
"Zhou Xiang?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "I am Ling Ran's fellow villager Zhou Xiang."
The two were relieved. They found the right person and he was fine. This was the best. They were still worried along the way, but driving at night is risky. It usually took them more than ten hours to get there.
"Let's go! We'll talk about it when we get back."
The waiter knew that these two were part of the team. Fortunately, the girl was fine, otherwise, his guesthouse would not be able to continue operating.
They got on the jeep and drove north. After driving for dozens of miles, they breathed a sigh of relief and looked for a place to have breakfast.
"Are you scared?"
The two paused, then shook their heads and said, "No, we were afraid that the people from last night would be unwilling to give up. If they were to chase us, it would be inconvenient to take you with us."
"Oh!" Zhou Xiang didn't ask any further questions, so as to avoid being asked how he escaped last night.
After a quick breakfast, Zhou Xiang drove back on the road. He waved his hand and said, "Drive slower. I'm going to vomit from the bumpy ride."
Zhang Shanbiao slowed down the car, and Zhou Xiang covered his abdomen. When encountering a bad road, no matter how good the car is, it is no different from a tractor. When will they start repairing the road?
At noon, they stopped to rest. Zhou wanted to sit by the roadside to calm herself down. When the two people asked her to eat again, she shook her head and said, "No, I don't want to eat. I think the road is getting harder and harder to walk on. I'll just vomit if I eat."
The two men did not try to persuade him, but filled their stomachs and got in the car to continue on their way.
Zhou Xiang felt like he was on a roller coaster, with potholes one after another on the road, and he was like beans in a winnowing basket, being tossed back and forth.
We finally arrived at our destination, the foot of the mountain, at four in the afternoon.
Hearing that they still had to climb a mountain, Zhou Xiang thought it would be better to be the beans in the winnowing basket.
"Zhou Xiangxiang."
A familiar voice called out, like the sound of nature, "Ling Ran, great! I finally found you! I don't want to climb the mountain anymore."
Ling Ran looked at the pale little girl, feeling distressed. "Okay! Don't climb. I'll carry you up."
Zhou Xiang was a little hesitant, "Carry me up the mountain?"
Ling Ran nodded and turned to face her. "Come on up! I can carry you, and I won't let you take even a single step."
"You said it!"
"Yes, I did."
Zhou wanted to lie on the back in front of him, hmm! It was wider than before.
Zhang Shanbiao and Li Han’s eyes were about to fall out. Is this still the devil who challenges everywhere, causes trouble everywhere, and asks for tasks every day?
That guy with a cold face who looks like everyone owes him money, is he like this in private?
Ling Ran nodded coldly to the two of them, then turned and walked up the mountain.
The two of them came back to their senses. This is right! This is Ling Ran's standard style. What happened just now was just dazzled, right?
Right? Bullshit! Who is Zhu Bajie, the one who turns to face the little girl on his back and smiles so brightly?
Zhou Xiang's heart finally settled down, and he felt a little drowsy as he listened to Ling Ran's steady pace.
"Are you sleepy?" Ling Ran lowered his voice.
"kind of."
"Then just close your eyes. I'll wake you up when we get there."
"good!"
Ling Ran's heart softened. No matter what the reason was, the little girl finally fell asleep on his back again. He was willing to carry her on his back forever.
Ling Ran's gentleness at this moment softened the aura around him. His usual sharpness had disappeared, leaving only gentleness and peace.
He looks like a 16-year-old boy.
When Zhou Xiang woke up, he found himself sleeping on a single bed. Ling Ran had lied to him again.
"Are you awake?"
"You liar, didn't you say you would wake me up?"
"I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't want to wake you up. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
In fact, it was out of his own selfish motives that he took the opportunity to put her on his bed and asked her to sleep in his quilt, as if he was hugging her.
You can also secretly look at her sleeping face. When she is asleep, she is like a quiet cat, cute and well-behaved.
Zhou Xiang looked at the dark night outside and could only do this, "I'm hungry."
Ling Ran smiled. It was really good that the little girl spoke to him so confidently.
"Yes! I've warmed up the porridge for you. Wait, I'll bring it to you."
Ling Ran walked out, and Zhou Xiang looked around at where he was.
A single room of about ten square meters, with a single bed under him, a desk and a chair next to it, and a lot of books on the desk.
There is a wardrobe on the wall behind the door, and the whole room is clean and tidy.
Ling Ran brought in a bowl of rice porridge with two boiled eggs in his hand.
Zhou Xiang ate an egg and drank some porridge, feeling like he was alive again. However, he did not drink a drop of water after breakfast.
"Are you full?"
"Yeah! I can't eat anymore, you eat it!"
"Okay! You sleep here tonight, and I'll go squeeze in with the others."
