Lu Ran followed her closely, not daring to stop.
The two men climbed halfway up the mountain and turned around the back of the mountain. They saw a small path and turned a few more valleys before arriving in front of a village.
I have to say that this road is not easy to enter, and it is easy to get lost if you don’t know the way.
This is actually the case in many mountain villages. Many of them are still very primitive, unlike later generations, when many roads were built. Even as late as the 1990s, many mountain villages still lacked access to roads. This is the reason for the poverty of many mountain villages, and of course, the lack of roads is also caused by poverty.
The mountain village before me wasn't large, but it was relatively neat. Houses were spaced a fair distance apart. Many even built their houses on the mountainside, separate from the others.
In this way, every household has its own space, and no one disturbs anyone else.
"Come this way." Lu Ran pointed to a yard at the foot of the mountain not far away.
The yard is also unique, just like the other houses, it is in a separate place, not shared with others. And the yard is surrounded by trees in front and behind, so if you don't look carefully, it is easy to overlook it.
Although it looked not far, the two of them took a small path and walked for a long time before arriving in front of the yard.
The yard seemed very quiet, and from the outside it looked as if there were not many people around. But Zhang Xingrong knew that there should be people around.
Lu Ran went up and knocked on the door, and soon the door opened from the inside.
Shuanzi saw Lu Ran and smiled: "Brother Ran is here... Sister-in-law, you are here too!"
He hadn't expected to see Zhang Xingrong here. After all, one of the reasons he hid her here was to keep her from his sister-in-law. He hadn't expected her to be here now.
He thought about checking Lu Ran's expression, and Lu Ran glanced at him. Looking at Lu Ran's expression, he still understood that the matter must have been leaked. How could this happen?
They have been doing it very secretly, how could it be leaked?
Shuanzi thought about it and could only think of Sister Lan and the others. It seemed that Sister Lan still hadn't dealt with her subordinates well, and the news had leaked out after all!
Thinking of Shuanzi, his eyes turned cold.
Zhang Xingrong looked at Shuanzi. He looked unfamiliar, unlike the people Hongqi had brought before. It seemed that Lu Ran did this on purpose.
"Go in." Lu Ran said, "Shuanzi, I'll be guarding outside."
Shuanzi nodded quickly. The atmosphere between them was not right. He knew without thinking that his sister-in-law must be very angry. He couldn't help but say something to help: "Sister-in-law, Brother Ran did it for you..."
Zhang Xingrong raised her eyelids and looked at him. Her face was expressionless, cold and indifferent. Her gaze wasn't sharp, just cold, exceptionally cold. She knew Shuanzi wanted to speak for Lu Ran. Yes, whether it was Hongqi or Shuanzi, these people were actually Lu Ran's people.
They were brothers, and their relationship was close, better than anyone else's. Of course, they would side with Lu Ran. But she didn't want to hear any explanations from them. Was that an explanation? It was just a sophistry after a mistake.
She even felt like she was a joke. He knew everything, and even Hong Qi and the others knew everything. But no one had ever reminded her.
"..." Shuanzi looked at the person opposite him with a cold and even sarcastic expression, and was unable to speak for a moment.
Lu Ran took a deep breath and said, "You go out first."
"Okay." Shuanzi didn't dare to say anything this time and quickly slipped out. It was too scary, really too scary.
