Chapter 132 Follow Me and Follow You
He Lun's parents invited them to sit in the yacht, brought them a three-layer dessert, and mixed a bowl of fruit salad for Gao Mengtang.
Gao Mengtang poked the sweet and juicy fresh fruits with his fork again and again, but he didn't eat them.
"What's wrong?" Wei Wei asked.
Gao Mengtang: "Bai Jie's family, why are you renting a yacht here?"
This bay has a very romantic name, called "Stargazing Harbor", and this sea area is called "Paradise Sea". Because at night, the fluorescent creatures in the sea float to the surface, like a galaxy in the water waves, beautiful and magnificent.
All in all, a pure tourist attraction.
A person from a wizard family would not stay away from the crowd to tinker with the magic of summoning evil gods. Why would he bring his whole family to a tourist attraction and even rob a yacht? Could it be that he was traveling like an ordinary person? Vacationing?
Bai Jie also found it strange: "My family never travels. At most, they go on vacation to some places where ancient gods are said to have descended. This port is a bit special..."
"What's special about it?" Gao Mengtang asked.
Bai Jie found a tourist map with the locations of Guanxing Port and Tiantang Sea marked on it. He pointed to the red dot of Guanxing Port and said, "The land of Xizhou is in the shape of a concave character, separated by mountains in the middle. If you want to go from the east coast to the west coast, you either have to cross the mountains or start from this port. They may want to go to the west coast."
Wei Wei wanted to smoke, but because it was someone else's boat, he resisted the urge to smoke and sipped his tea one sip after another: "The land route is much faster than the water route, not to mention that there are also airplanes. Why bother taking a boat?"
Bai Jie shook his head and said, "No way. People like us have countless lives on our shoulders. Three generations of our family have never been able to pass the civil service exam. I've even called the police... Most of their ID cards are unusable, and they can't take high-speed trains or planes. Renting a boat is different. Find a small boat owner and give him a little more money. He won't hold on to you."
"They went to the West Coast, trying to seek refuge with Xiao Tien," said Gao Mengtang.
"That's right. I guess they didn't want to rent a yacht, but to sail across the ocean to the west coast." Bai Jie replied, "This yacht is relatively large, so they insisted on renting it."
Gao Mengtang still felt something was wrong.
Three days ago, Bai Anzhi sent a message to Bai Jie, telling him that the Bai family would change their clan name. At that time, Bai Jie was still in the dungeon and could not receive any messages. Blood relatives can check each other's status. Bai Anzhi was just anxious to tell him about this.
Now, they are eager to rent a yacht and rush to the West Coast.
They seemed anxious to either convert or go to the West Bank.
Gao Mengtang: "Did Bai Anzhi tell me when they joined Xiao Tien?"
Bai Jie shook his head: "I'll ask him through the friend request."
More than 20 minutes later, Bai Anzhi replied: Three days ago. Brother, can't you tell the time?
The conversion was made three days ago. With such a short time and such a large family, there was no time to pack up properly and head to the west coast today. Gao Mengtang guessed correctly that the conversion was probably a hasty decision made by them.
Moreover, as Wei Wei said, land transportation is much faster than sea transportation. Even if they cannot take the high-speed rail, they can rent a car and use the ID card of someone with no criminal record to take the highway.
This seemed to indicate that they were not only in a hurry to leave, but were also unwilling to travel by land.
"Is there going to be an accident on the east coast?" Bai Jie asked, "Why are they running so fast like they were chased by dogs?"
Gao Mengtang hesitated for a moment and said, "Anyway, we are fine. During this period, we have been quietly observing the Bai family's movements."
The Bai family quickly rented a larger yacht, and that night they went on a shopping spree at a supermarket in the city.
Bucket noodles, purified water, bread, dried vegetables... cart after cart was delivered to the checkout counter for payment. The female clerk was so surprised that she took out her mobile phone to check the news.
I haven’t seen any news about monster invasions or the flu spreading.
Duan Song's family is rich, his mother is the richest person in Beizhou, and she owns houses all over the world. Duan Song returned home and drove the most low-key Wrangler, with Gao Mengtang and Bai Jie hiding in the back seat.
Outside the mall, a video was playing: "If you hear plants/walls/street lights or any other non-human beings talking to you, you have been mentally polluted. Please contact the Mental Pollution Center immediately. Phone number: xxxxxx."
"They came out." Duan Song put one hand on the steering wheel and pushed his sunglasses down pretentiously, "They went to the next supermarket."
The item that the Bai family bought the most was actually lighters.
They walked out of the supermarket carrying a plastic bag full of lighters and put it in the trunk.
"This is really weird!" Bai Jie sighed, "Just to light a fire, the 10th-level ignition scroll in the black tower is as easy to buy as breaking bones, and there is no limit on the purchase. Why buy a lighter?"
When closing the car door, Bai Anzhi seemed to notice something, glanced around, then lowered his baseball cap and sat in the driver's seat.
Next, they went to the clothing store.
"I'll go in and take a look." Gao Mengtang said, opening the door and getting out of the car.
Duan Song also came down and entered the clothing store with him.
Inside the store, Bai Anzhi casually ordered two rows of clothes: "These winter clothes, size M, three pieces of each, pack them up."
The salesperson was surprised: "Sir?"
"Which word do you not understand?" Bai Anzhi asked gently and politely, "Isn't common language a compulsory course in your elementary school?"
The salesperson didn't dare to say anything more and cleared out the shelves. Bai Anzhi was playing with his phone, and when he looked up, he saw Gao Mengtang and Duan Song walking in.
He was quite well-mannered. He was very upset inside, but he didn't show it on the surface: "Mr. Gao, we meet again. Why are you here? Are you following me?"
After saying this, Bai Anzhi laughed, indicating that this was a sincere word disguised as a joke.
Duan Song shook the show-style art jacket on his body, and the sequins flashed like a light ball: "I have no interest in imitating your taste."
Bai Anzhi put away his phone, walked slowly to the two of them, and whispered in Gao Mengtang's ear, his voice as light as a breeze: "Sir Blind, minor in [Reconnaissance Specialization], I have long noticed that someone is following me."
Even though he was caught, Gao Mengtang remained calm and composed, smiling innocently: "You are very strange, so I am following you. Why did you buy so many lighters?"
He said it so bluntly that Bai Anzhi was stunned. He didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Before leaving the clothing store, Bai Anzhi turned around and said, "Mr. Gao, you are a well-known figure. Probably no one would deliberately provoke you because they think your life is too long."
"Be like a normal person." Bai Anzhi pushed open the glass door. "This is my advice to you."
Gao Mengtang:?
"Don't I look like a normal person?" Gao Mengtang opened his eyes wide, "Did he scold me?"
In order to vent Gao Mengtang's anger, Duan Song drove his own five-story yacht, which was 100 meters long and 20 meters wide, and parked it next to the Bai family's yacht.
*
Late at night, lying on the sofa in the yacht's living room, Gao Mengtang was still struggling with what "like a normal person" meant.
"Bai Anzhi and the others must have known something in advance."
Wei Wei was flipping through a thick book, with the enemy rabbit lying beside him. He said without raising his head, "We have a fortune teller... I mean, a fortune teller, Lin Li, please tell me what will happen in the next few days?"
Lin Li took out the crystal ball, lit a candle, and stared at it carefully.
"I know... I saw it..." Lin Li murmured.
"Ominous?" Wei Wei didn't even raise his head.
"Yes! It's ominous!" Lin Li suddenly raised his voice, startling everyone else in the cabin. "You, you can also do divination? The prophet's magnetic field has affected you..."
"No," Wei Wei underlined a line of words, "Nine out of ten things in the world are not as you wish. No need to calculate."
Gao Mengtang: "What kind of ominous sign is this?"
Lin Li: "Prophet, you know it, you must know it."
Gao Mengtang: “…I don’t know.”
Lin Li opened his eyes blankly: "Prophet, you want to train me, you want me to see the future by myself. I understand."
She took out tarot cards, crystal, coffee cup, tortoise shell, and compass, and fiddled with them in a mysterious manner.
Gao Mengtang: ...What kind of train of thought!
He yawned and prepared to go to sleep. He passed by Wei Wei's desk and took a curious look. His sleepiness immediately faded away: "What are you looking at!"
The spherical characters twisted into a ball on the paper, aren't they the language of the Esperanto? Wei Wei is actually reading the original Esperanto book?!
"The Moonlight Code, a book I found in your black tower." Wei Wei held up the thick book. "I want to try and see if I can improve the resurrection spell. Losing all desires, even the will to live, is really inhumane. Mental castration is more cruel than physical castration."
Gao Mengtang: "When did you learn Esperanto?"
"Now. Su Ji Meng is my translator." Wei Wei rubbed the enemy rabbit and continued to read with his head down.
He pointed at two words that looked like the alien language in the movie Arrival. They looked like identical circles with many burrs on the inside and outside. "This sentence means giving up everything, and this sentence means listening to music. It's easy to tell the difference, right?"
Gao Mengtang felt sincere admiration for the top student and solemnly placed his hand on his shoulder: "Good night."
At around one in the morning, Gao Mengtang was awakened by the noise coming from the first floor.
"Is this the one?"
"Of course it is. There is a bright Chinese character 'Duan' printed on the ship."
Leaning on the windowsill, I saw two people on the port: Wo Lanbei and Song Zhong.
Song Zhong was originally in the Blue Camp, and Wo Lanbei was in the Green Camp. The former leaders of the two camps were good friends, and they also had a good personal relationship. When they heard that Gao Mengtang was traveling here, they came here together.
Wei Wei is still reading.
"Deputy Chief, I'm here!" Song Zhong greeted Wei Wei like an old acquaintance.
Wei Wei looked up and saw Wo Lanbei, his expression changed: "What's the matter with visiting you in the middle of the night?"
"Don't be so distant." Song Zhong patted Wei Wei's shoulder, "Hey, you also know Esperanto? Wolanbei, come and see, we have many talents in Yuefan. His Majesty the King of Virtue, the only son of a wealthy man, and the Esperanto translator are all from Yuefan."
Song Zhong was showing off crazily and wanted to let others know how happy his life was after his second job change.
"Good evening, both of you." Gao Mengtang came down from upstairs in her pajamas, yawning.
"Look, our leader. Isn't he handsome?" Song Zhong raised his nose to the sky. After joining Yue Fan, he boasted about his brothers for three days and three nights.
It was obvious that every cell in his body was showing off, but Wolanbei was too lazy to pay attention to him. He took out Wei Wei's Central Plains language notes.
There were a few words written on it: resurrection, mental castration, desire.
Wolanbei laughed out loud: "What's the matter? Your love-breaking pill almost killed me. Are you scared now? Are you starting to research resurrection without injury?"
"What does it have to do with you!" Wei Wei became angry and pulled back the notebook.
"Hahaha, you are angry, I guessed right!"
Wei Wei: "It seems we didn't invite you. Please go out."
"Let me see your phone," Wo Lanbei snatched it away and entered the password. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it still has the video of me saying 'I don't want to live anymore' saved on it. Wei Wei, I care about you, but aren't you tired of living such a twisted life?"
"go out!!"
"The password is Gu Kang's birthday. I don't understand you."
The two of them were bickering and Gao Mengtang was sitting on the steps listening, and he realized it later.
It turns out that Wei Wei studied the art of resurrection because he almost killed Wolan Bei.
How can I not feel heartbroken when I see the people I care about losing their vitality bit by bit? Even if they are still breathing, they are just a moving stone.
Wo Lanbei was still yelling, "Hey! Wei Wei, who is this girl in your wallpaper? Your first love?"
Wei Wei's cheekbones turned pink with anger. He tried to snatch the phone back, but Wo Lanbei was quicker and took the phone and said, "She's pretty, like you. You two look like a good couple."
"Give it back to me." Wei Wei spoke each word, enunciating each one. He squeezed out three words from his trembling lips.
His reaction was so big that Wo Lanbei was stunned. He knew that Wei Wei had never been in love before, so it couldn't be his first love. He took a closer look at the girl's facial features. She had long and thin eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and plump cheeks, which were quite ancient.
One of the girl's arms was resting on the person next to her. In the wallpaper, the person next to her was cut off, leaving only a shoulder exposed.
Suddenly, he stopped teasing, returned the phone to Wei Wei, and said sorry.
Wei Wei snatched the phone, put away the book, and went upstairs alone.
While the two were bickering, Song Zhong had already gone downstairs to play billiard with Duan Song. Only Gao Mengtang and Wo Lanbei were left in the hall.
"It's over. I really pissed off Wei Wei this time." Wo Lanbei grabbed a patch of his highlighted hair. "What should I do? Gao Mengtang, do you have any tea sets, tea cakes, jade articles, etc.? I'll try to coax him first."
Gao Mengtang hesitated to speak.
"You want to ask who that girl is?" Wo Lanbei looked careless, but he was actually very thoughtful. He lowered his voice and said, "You probably don't know that Wei Wei has a sister. He never mentioned this."
Gao Mengtang: "I know. Qin Xishuang told me."
Wolanbei made a suffocating expression: "Wei Wei, his sister, and Gu Kang went to the dungeon together. His sister was killed by a monster."
In the face of life and death, all words are pale. Gao Mengtang uttered "Oh" softly.
"If you ask me, he's such a twisted person. He was able to carry Qin Xishuang's body out, but he just threw his sister's body in the dungeon and didn't take care of it."
Gao Mengtang felt speechless again: "Ah?"
"Yeah. There wasn't even a funeral." Wo Lanbei nodded vigorously. "I told you this to remind you that it's best not to mention the word 'sister' in front of Wei Wei. He would be really sad if he heard it."
Gao Mengtang had seen Wei Wei's original mobile wallpaper, which was a picture of He Luo wearing a God of Wealth hat. He had changed the wallpaper to his sister these days, probably because he felt sad when he saw He Lun chasing He Yi and calling her his sister every day.
Just as I was thinking about it, the hull shook and there was a buzzing sound beside my ear.
The Bai family started the yacht and sailed out of the port.
