Chapter 168 A Visitor in the Night
Ji Xinghan was startled: "What?"
To be honest, she was also afraid that Jin Luo would run away. Now at least she knew where Jin Luo was. If the master ran away, where would she go to look for him?
Zhou Xinyao sighed: "I don't understand either. Hmm, could it be... an NPC?"
Ji Xinghan: "Yes, Master Jinluo!"
Zhou Xinyao instantly understood: "Ah, no wonder Lu Zihan and Ji Wenqiao have been so secretive."
Ji Xinghan quickly said, "Please keep an eye on things for me. If the master runs away, let me know."
Zhou Xinyao immediately agreed: "Yes, Ji Wenqiao deliberately abandoned me before because she was a little suspicious of me. Now, it seems she knows that the mole has nothing to do with me and has started to trust me again. I'll have someone find out more. Wait for my news!"
Ji Xinghan was extremely worried and waited for a long time.
While waiting, she cooked various kinds of roasted meats, including chicken, duck, lamb, pork, and so on. She made a variety of meats, as long as she had them on hand.
She also collected several rare types of meat that she didn't have in the chat channel, and grilled them all.
It was already past 10 p.m. when Zhou Xinyao finally replied: "Ji Xinghan, Ji Wenqiao and Master Jinluo are all on Line 105, but they are a distance apart."
Ji Xinghan perked up: "I'll give you a 'Call Friends' card. You form a team, then invite me over, okay?"
Zhou Xinyao sighed: "No, the Ji family gang has now taken over Line 105. They have cleared out the players in the vicinity and along this line, killing a lot of people. There are many obstacles around Ji Wenqiao and Master Jinluo, and ordinary people simply cannot get through them."
"You'll be discovered the moment you arrive!"
Zhou Xinyao pleaded, "Ji Xinghan, many of us here know you! Why did you come?"
Ji Xinghan pondered. Indeed, many people knew her, and she would be recognized as soon as she went over.
There were many people surrounding Ji Wenqiao and Master Jinluo, and it would be difficult to pass through many checkpoints.
Given her current condition, it's simply not possible!
Zhou Xinyao added, "The gang members here are all Ji Wenqiao's confidants. Most of us know each other. Even if some people haven't seen you before, they'll recognize your face!"
Ji Xinghan was taken aback.
Ji Wenqiao is far too cautious!
Zhou Xinyao added, "I heard them say that they're trying to prevent you from coming. Ji Xinghan, you'd better not come. If you do, you'll be like a lamb entering a tiger's den!"
Ji Xinghan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll think about it and then I'll say."
She silently opened her storage backpack, stared at it for a while, and then an idea came to her.
However, this idea is too risky; we need to think about it again.
At least the night is unbearable.
Zhou Xinyao soon sent another message: Master Jinluo had stabilized for the time being.
I heard that Ji Wenqiao specially prepared a delicious meal and invited the master to stay for the night. The master will still be leaving early tomorrow morning.
Zhou Xinyao and Ji Xinghan chatted on and on. Her voice was sweet, and although she was a bit talkative, it wasn't annoying to listen to.
Ji Xinghan usually just listens and rarely interrupts; she wants to get some information from Zhou Xinyao's conversations.
After talking with Zhou Xinyao for a while, Ji Xinghan discovered that this girl was cautious, intelligent, and had a bit of a sense of justice. For example, she was indignant when talking about Ji Wenqiao having all the players she encountered killed.
Zhou Xinyao said indignantly, "I understand that the strong prey on the weak, but does that mean you have to kill everyone you see? I'm just wondering, if she killed everyone she encountered, would that stop you?"
She paused for a moment, then snorted, "I heard they killed a few pretty handsome guys today!"
Ji Xinghan: ...
They're freezing to death, how handsome can they be?
She also discovered that Zhou Xinyao had regained Ji Wenqiao's trust, which surprised her.
Ji Wenqiao is not someone who can be easily fooled. Now that she has doubts about Zhou Xinyao, she won't trust her easily again. Why is that?
Could it be that Zhou Xinyao also has some secret?
It was too late, so Ji Xinghan closed the chat with Zhou Xinyao and shivered.
In just a few hours, the outside temperature dropped considerably. Fortunately, her RV was well-sealed, so although it was cold, she wasn't frozen stiff.
She checked the time; it was almost midnight. She washed up and was about to rest when suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door.
Someone was knocking on her car door.
Who is it?
Ji Xinghan immediately became alert.
She turned on more lights, drew back the curtains, and whispered, "Who is it?"
An old voice came from outside: "Cough cough, the snow is too heavy. Kind person, could you please let me stay the night?"
Ji Xinghan frowned. Hmm, that voice sounds familiar...
She peeked out the window and saw a short, thin old woman standing next to the RV under the dim light.
The old lady had a full head of white hair and was leaning on a cane.
She's the old lady at the service area who sells GPS navigation, an NPC!
Why is she here?
Ji Xinghan was hesitating when the old lady coughed a few more times and said, "Is it alright?"
Ji Xinghan quickly changed his mind and replied, "Yes, old man!"
She opened the car door, jumped out, and a gust of cold wind hit her face, large snowflakes pelting her cheeks. Ji Xinghan shivered from the cold, but said with a smile, "We meet again, Grandma!"
The old lady raised her face, coughed twice, and smiled slightly: "Oh, it's you. What a coincidence! The snow was too heavy tonight, I couldn't make my way..."
Ji Xinghan immediately went over to help her up: "It's alright, Grandma, come hide in my car for a bit."
An NPC has arrived, and a benevolent one at that. How could she possibly push him away?
Ji Xinghan helped the old lady into the car and poured her a cup of hot water.
The old lady sat upright at the table, covered her cup with both hands, took a sip of water, looked at Ji Xinghan's RV, and nodded: "Not bad, but... why is it so cold in your car too?"
Ji Xinghan was helpless.
The engine was broken, and the air conditioner was also broken for some reason, so it wasn't very warm in her RV.
She could only tell the truth.
The old lady stopped talking and just clutched her stomach.
Ji Xinghan heard a slight gurgling sound, and she realized that the old lady was hungry.
She immediately said, "Grandma, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Please wait a moment, I'll go cook something."
She had instant noodles, and the water and electricity in the car were still working properly, so she immediately cooked a packet of noodles, made two poached eggs, and served it to the old lady.
At this moment, the old lady took out a food storage container with an oblong object inside and said, "Could you help me cut the braised meat?"
Ji Xinghan nodded: "Okay!"
She turned around and took out the braised meat.
The braised pork was a deep reddish-brown color, and it was a long, round strip. She cut a few slices with a knife, and immediately, an enticing aroma slowly filled the air.
It smells so good!
Ji Xinghan couldn't help but sniff, feeling a little hungry. She resisted the urge to drool and only cut half of it. Suddenly, the old lady said, "That's enough!"
Ji Xinghan put the rest of the braised meat into a food storage container, placed the chopped braised meat on a small plate, and presented it to the old lady.
The old lady ate meat and noodles at the same time.
"Meow~" Dingdang jumped out of the passenger seat, staring at the braised meat on the table without moving its eyes.
"Woof woof, it smells so good!" The dog leaned over, drool dripping down its face.
Even the baby birds stretched their necks.
The old lady looked up and stared at them. Immediately, Dingdang turned around in disappointment, and the dog slumped back into its original spot dejectedly.
The dog furtively beckoned to Ji Xinghan with its paws a few times, and Ji Xinghan went over.
Dog: "Woof woof, want some?"
