Chapter 212 Returning Home
When Lu Jingyou arrived at Wudao Mountain, it was almost dark.
A cordon was set up at the entrance.
He called Wang Hua, who said the person had not been found yet and the security guards from the scenic area management office had already gone into the mountains to search.
Ten minutes later, the two reunited. Wang Hua was still in shock: "Miss Yan wanted to take a photo of Mr. Lin and asked me to hold their bags. Then she said she was thirsty and asked me to go get some water. When I came back, they were gone."
Lu Jingyou went to the place where they took the photo and saw torches burning down there, people searching for them, and loud speakers shouting for help. He deduced, "They must be lost. Let's go to the intersection and check."
It's not steep here, so even if you fall, someone will find you.
How could such a good person just disappear?
The two of them went down the mountain road and asked the security captain of the scenic area management office. The security captain said that the terrain features in this area are similar and it is easy to get lost, but as long as you don't go deep into the mountains, there will be no danger.
Wang Hua was so anxious.
It's been two hours. What should we do if they go deep into the mountains?
If anything happened to them, he would be guilty of a great crime.
"They can't go far. At most, they can climb over the hill in front." Lu Jingyou remembered that they said they wanted to see the clouds and mist, "Let's go look over there!"
The group followed the path and climbed up the opposite hill.
The path was not steep and was paved with stone steps. It took about ten minutes to climb up.
When they reached the top of the mountain, the group immediately split up to search.
Not long after, news came from the foot of the mountain that the two had been found by another security team and were now in the security room of the scenic area.
Both of them were in a mess.
Yan Xuewei also sprained her ankle and cried in pain.
Lin Manli's leg was also scratched, and she kept complaining to Lu Jingyou: "If you had come with us, this wouldn't have happened. You're always busy all day."
Then he complained about the poor facilities in the scenic area: "We just went to see the magnificent scenery you advertised, but when we came back, the road was completely different. There was no one in sight, and there were no signposts. We really cried out to the sky and the earth but got no response."
"Let's go to the hospital first!" Lu Jingyou said nothing and asked Wang Hua to drive.
"I'm sorry to have startled you. You must have come down from the unfinished path there, which isn't fully built yet," the scenic area security captain apologized profusely. "We did put up a red cloth at the intersection, but you probably didn't notice. Sorry, it was an oversight on our part. We'll cover some of the costs. What do you think?"
"Don't worry, we don't mean to blackmail you." Lin Manli said coldly, "We don't ask you to pay any fees. There's no need for that."
When Lu Jingyou returned to the hotel from the hospital, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. He felt his pocket and realized that his cell phone was missing.
When Wang Hua heard this, he immediately drove to the scenic spot to find his cell phone.
The scenic area management staff were quite friendly and said that they would go up the mountain to help him find his phone as soon as daybreak and send it to them once they found it.
The next morning, Liu Yang came to pick up Su Jiaojiao again.
Seeing that she was still dragging a suitcase, he was very surprised: "Are you going on a long trip?"
"I'm going home tonight and will go shopping in western Shanxi. I won't be back." Su Jiaojiao didn't hide it from him and handed Liu Yang a bag of mooncakes she bought at the door. "Thank you for your hard work these past two days."
"Oh, you're so polite. I'm just sitting around doing nothing." Liu Yang couldn't refuse, so he took it and said with a smile, "Lu'an mooncakes are quite famous. Didn't you buy some more?"
"I brought a lot." Su Jiaojiao went out last night and bought everything she needed. Liu Yang asked her again, "Have you told Mr. Lu and Wang Hua about your return?"
In fact, he didn't know why Su Jiaojiao appeared in the grain and oil compound, nor did he know why she was selling leather jackets in the Jinxi Clothing Wholesale Market.
But he couldn't ask her directly about these things, so he could only rely on his imagination. He guessed that Wang Hua brought Su Jiaojiao with him when he came to western Shanxi this time. The weather here is cool, and this season is suitable for selling leather jackets.
It must be because Su Jiaojiao and Wang Hua are close friends that she lives in the grain and oil compound.
"They are also very busy. I will call them later to tell them." Su Jiaojiao wanted to tell them after buying the tickets. If she couldn't buy the tickets, she would stay in Jinxi for one night. Chi Fang said that there were many small hotels around the market.
Liu Yang didn't ask any more questions. When Su Jiaojiao was about to get off the car, he confirmed again: "Then I won't pick you up this afternoon. Be careful on your way. Call me if you have any questions."
"Okay, thank you Assistant Liu." Su Jiaojiao nodded and got out of the car dragging her bags. Liu Yang turned the car around and returned to the project department.
"You're doing fine. Someone else is here to take you." Chi Fang was sharp-eyed. Seeing that the driver was not Lu Jingyou, and seeing that she was dragging a suitcase, she asked, "Are you going back?"
"We're leaving tonight." Su Jiaojiao put her luggage on the ground and gave Chi Fang the stall fee in advance. "Thank you for renting the stall to me. Otherwise, I would have no place to sell my goods."
"You're welcome. I've already received the money!" Chi Fang took the pen and paper. "I'll write down your phone number. I'll call you if I need anything."
Su Jiaojiao gave her her phone number and said, "I wish your business is prosperous. You are also welcome to visit our Jiao County. I will treat you to seafood."
"I will definitely go if I have the chance." Chi Fang's eyes suddenly lit up.
On the last day, business was pretty good and we sold twenty pieces in total.
The remaining six leather jackets were no problem at all for Su Jiaojiao, and she put them directly into the suitcase.
She has sufficient funds now, so it doesn't make any difference whether these leather jackets are sold or not.
After the market closed, Su Jiaojiao said goodbye to Chi Fang and took a taxi to the train station.
It was not the peak season, so tickets were easy to buy. Su Jiaojiao bought a sleeper ticket. The departure time was 8 o'clock in the evening, which was just the right time.
Only after she settled down did she call Lu Jingyou.
The call didn't go through, so she sent him another text message, thanking him for his help over the days. Her leather jackets were sold out, and she was returning to Jiao County.
She originally wanted to tell Wang Hua about it, but then she thought that it was not a big deal for her to go back.
Anyway, they are together every day, so there is no need to tell Wang Hua anymore.
Although she bought a sleeper berth, she didn't sleep all night. With so much money in her pocket, she couldn't sleep well. She kept waking up and falling asleep, which was very torturous.
She finally made it to dawn and got off the train in Qingyuan. It was as hot as if she had stepped into a steamer.
She had originally planned to stay with her mother at Qin Shuang's place for one night, but thinking that Qin Xiuming must be there, she gave up the idea and took the bus directly back to Jiao County.
After two or three hours of bumpy ride, it was already afternoon when we got home.
