Chapter 96
Xi Siling immediately noticed Lan Yi's hesitation.
No matter what the reason is, his friends have invited him and he will not sit idly by.
"I'm free." He first mentioned himself, then looked at Liuhuaqi, and got an affirmative nod from the young man, "77 is also free, where are you, we'll come find you."
Lan Yi suddenly felt relieved, and all the worries he had been having for the past few days seemed to be swept away.
"Don't be so anxious, you can come back in a few days, thank you."
But Xi Siling doesn't like to drag it on like this. Unless it is something that requires long-term consideration, it will only make him upset if it is not resolved immediately.
"Give us the address first, 11."
Xi Siling knew that Lan Yi must be upset that his behavior had disturbed their Spring Festival holiday, but if it was not something he could not solve himself, he would not have spoken up.
Lan Yi sighed. Now that he had said it, there was no need to be shy about it anymore.
They are friends.
The address is a village on a high mountain, almost two hundred miles west of Shengjing.
Although it is still within the administrative area of Shengjing, it is also a marginal area.
The name of the mountain is Jinye Mountain, which is 4,000 meters above sea level. Lan Yi said that their village was built halfway up the mountain, and that you must tell him before going, otherwise you will get lost in the mountain.
Of course Xi Siling listened to it.
"Then let's meet in a few days. Si Ling, please tell Ah Qi that I am very grateful to him too."
Lan Yi's tone finally became relaxed.
After hanging up the phone, Xi Siling looked at Liuhuaqi.
"11 let me thank you for him, 77."
Liuhuaqi certainly heard it, but there is no need to repeat it...
"Hmm..." He lowered his head in embarrassment and immediately changed the subject, "So how long will it take us to get there?"
In fact, Liu Huaqi and Xi Siling thought the same thing. They both wanted to solve the problem with Lan Yi as soon as possible. Many things would only get worse if they were delayed. It would be better to solve them quickly.
"Today? Let me see if I can get a ticket there."
Two hundred kilometers, there is no way to run there like I did before when I escaped from the secret text. Although it is not impossible, considering that I still have to climb the mountain, I should just find a reliable means of transportation.
It’s a pity that Xi Siling is not yet an adult, otherwise he would have taken a driver’s license test long ago.
During the two days of the Spring Festival, there is only one bus going there each day, so at least I can't go today. Xi Siling bought a ticket for tomorrow.
Then I went to find Mr. Zhong Huai and Teacher Tang Yang and told them about my and 77’s decision.
"Is it your roommate?"
"Yes, I don't know if Mr. Zhong Huai has seen the battle group in the mid-year competition. Lan Yi was the one who fought with 77 in the finals. His supernatural power awakened for the second time during the mid-year competition. It seems to be related to his ancestors, so he returned to his hometown with his sister during the Spring Festival."
Of course Zhong Huai knew Lan Yi. After all, he was a good friend that Si Ling would definitely mention when she came back.
It is not surprising that his superpowers awakened for the second time, which shows that he is talented.
"You think he's in trouble?"
"Yeah, so 77 and I will go."
This finally solved Lin Zhipei's problem. We haven't even had the first day of the new year and we're already busy again.
But neither Zhong Huai nor Tang Yang had any intention of stopping them.
"When a friend needs help, of course you can't refuse. Just go." Tang Yang certainly encouraged them. It is rare to have a few close friends in life, and Si Ling is such a kind child.
Zhong Huai also nodded, but he also asked about another key person, "Where is the child Pepe?"
Xi Siling had also considered this.
"I'll go ask him."
At least for now, Xi Siling didn't want to bring Lin Zhipei with him. Of course, it wasn't because he thought he was a trouble, but he felt that this trip might be dangerous and he had just settled down.
As for the fact that Lan Yi and Lin Zhipei have never met, this is not the main reason. They will meet in Lingyan class later anyway and become classmates and friends.
So let's ask both sides for their opinions first.
Lin Zhipei was stunned. She didn't expect that just one day later, the two of them would set off to another place.
"Is there something wrong with Brother Siling's roommate?"
"Yes, 77 and I are going to help him. Let's ask Pepe what you think."
The boy seemed to have grasped the point and became excited all of a sudden, "Does that mean I can go with Brother Si Ling and 77?"
Although this place is also very good, I still want to stay with them more.
Besides, he is not an ordinary person who cannot protect himself, he can help!
"I'm going, I'm going! Let me go with you if possible!"
Lin Zhipei clasped her hands together like a spoiled child, her eyes full of anticipation.
77 had long since avoided the glowing gaze, and only 40 could still watch calmly, "Of course, but we're not going there for fun, and we might run into danger."
The boy's expression suddenly became serious.
“Then I’ll go even more.”
Although Lin Zhipei in the past did not know the source of his power, he was very clear about the limits of what he could do.
Hua Hegu didn't want to worship him, so naturally he also gave him high-intensity training.
He didn't even dare to tell Xi Siling that what he was best at was actually various assassination techniques.
"I can take care of myself, Brother Si Ling." Not only can he take care of himself, he can also protect Brother Si Ling and 77.
At times like this, he even wanted to thank Hua Hegu for injecting power into his body.
Only when you become truly strong can you protect the people you want to protect.
So it was decided that Lin Zhipei would also follow, and in the end only one person was left.
Since almost all members of 'Future 618' have appeared, Li Ke cannot be left behind.
Xi Siling called Li Ke again to ask for his thoughts.
Li Ke didn't even need to think about it and agreed immediately, just like the last time he heard Xi Siling and Liu Huaqi were craving for dinner at his house, he actually packed some and brought it over.
"I'll come, I'll come. Buy me a ticket too. Brother Lan is such a fool. He asked you guys to help but didn't ask me. I'm going to make a scene when we meet!"
Xi Siling almost laughed out loud, but he felt that Lan Yi must have thought that they would ask Li Ke, so he didn't call to inform them specifically... right?
It was not until the next morning before leaving that Xi Siling replied to Lan Yi.
"Come today?!"
"Yeah, we're all worried about you."
Xi Siling hit a straight ball and Lan Yi caught it smoothly.
"Thank you so much...
It is my life’s luck to be able to meet Xi Siling and Li Ke, and later Liu Huacui.
But why should we make such clear distinctions between friends? No one can always be successful, and we always need to help each other.
Xi Siling talked about Lin Zhipei again. He would not tell Lan Yi about Lin Zhipei. It was Peipei's own choice to tell her or not.
He just said that for some reason, he needed to bring someone over, and Lan Yi did not refuse.
So on the morning of the second day of the New Year, a group of four set out on the journey to Jinye Mountain.
——
"Well, we finally meet! In a sense, we're meeting in person!"
The last time Li Ke went to the dormitory, Lin Zhipei was still dizzy from the alcohol, so this was their first meeting.
Lin Zhipei and Xiao Ke are both people-loving. They got along very well chatting online, let alone meeting in person.
It was like we had known each other for a long time.
It just so happened that Liu Huaqi was not used to this kind of scene, so he let them sit in the back seat and chat.
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, there were not many people on the bus, probably because the destination was a remote place.
Xi Siling said something to Liuhuacui, and under the pretext of taking a nap, he began to carefully recall the things related to Lan Yi in his past life.
Lan Yi is his roommate and, like Xiao Ke, his most important friend.
They knew each other because they were assigned as roommates, which was a rare fate. They successfully entered the Lingyan class in the third year of Secret Writing and began to study supernatural powers more deeply.
According to his plan in this life, Lan Yi will awaken his superpowers for the second time a year earlier, so he also returns to his "hometown" a year earlier to explore the so-called source of superpowers.
But during that Spring Festival, Lan Yi did not ask for his help, but instead went to Li Ke.
Because Lan Yi knew he was very busy.
When he was in the third grade, Zi Yi Yue Yi had already set his sights on him. Zi Yi became even more aggressive and even cut his own wrists. If the waiters and housekeepers had not discovered it in time, he might have died.
So Yue Yi invited (written as invite, read as request) him to visit Zi Yi's house.
"If my dear brother really died, it was because of you. You have to take responsibility for your actions, right?"
He was just a minor at that time, and he did think that Ri De's addiction was caused by him, and he should take responsibility for Ri De.
But it is by no means a compromise that would allow Ri De to forever be immersed in false happiness.
He spent almost the entire winter vacation dealing with Zi Yi's family and didn't even have time to go back to the orphanage for the New Year. Lan Yi also tentatively asked him how he was, but knowing that he didn't have time, he didn't even ask for help.
In the end, Xiao Ke went to help Lan Yi alone.
Later, when they returned to school, Lan Yi and Li Ke just casually brushed it off, and Xi Siling also thought it was no big deal, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Xi Siling didn't know what she had missed. Not long after, news came that Lan Yi's sister Lan Lingniao was suffering from a terminal illness.
This was the trigger for the incident after they graduated and Lan Yi joined the army...
Maybe... Maybe...
Does it have anything to do with this incident?
Thinking of this, Xi Siling's heart suddenly became troubled.
Is this where the problem lies?
I can only say fortunately, fortunately everything is different.
It was impossible to fall asleep again, so Xi Siling opened his eyes and looked at the gradually undulating terrain outside the bus.
Jinye Mountain...
"Aren't you going to sleep?"
"I just don't know what to do in the car. Sure enough, I still can't sleep."
Xi Siling felt that Liuhuacui must have noticed the uneasiness in his heart just now.
But I prefer intuition, so I didn't ask directly.
Liu Huaqi indeed discovered it based on intuition, "Maybe check your phone for a while?"
Lin Zhipei and Li Ke were sitting behind them, and they were discussing in a low voice because they had just heard Xi Siling say that he wanted to rest.
But it seems like they are talking about what new anime are good to watch recently.
"It's okay, I'll just take in the scenery for a while."
Xi Siling concealed his true emotions very well, which was what he was best at.
But Liuhuaqi is an intuitive type.
Since Si Ling didn't want to say anything, he pretended not to see it.
"We'll be there in half an hour. Brother Lan said he's already going down the mountain. It's Jinye Mountain, 4,000 meters high. I wonder if there's a chance to go to the top and take a look."
Li Ke leaned forward from the back, holding on to the backrest and said.
