Two friends

  Actually, if you think carefully, you can find many problems. Didn't he send me a text message that day saying he was getting married? It's come to this point, and just because of a quarrel with his girlfriend, he abandoned her for a month? And then he still has the nerve to be proud as a man, and when he comes back, he doesn't contact her or bother her much. How arrogant can one be? There must be other hidden reasons behind this.

  I smiled wryly and didn't say what was on my mind, it wasn't a big deal to me.

  After that, everyone lost interest in talking and walked with their heads down. When they returned to the town, he threw out a sentence "gather tomorrow morning" and walked away alone, but his direction was not towards the hotel. I didn't care where he went, so after rushing back to the hotel, I had a meeting with Old Wu and Jiahe to discuss what to do next. In the end, we decided that Jiahe would stay at the hotel waiting for news, while I joined Old Wu's team to search for people. Since Old Wu was the one who initiated it, plus the missing couple were close friends of his, he had to be on the list; and Jiahe was still emotionally unstable after losing contact with Peng Ye, not to mention that I didn't want to lose Peng Ye again and then also lose her, so I secretly left her behind.

  Since we decided to go into the mountains to search for people, we need to prepare the necessary things. I bought a super large backpack and added some spare food and water. Originally, Jiahe and others already had sleeping bags and moisture-proof mats, so they didn't need to buy them. After putting all the items in the bag and trying it on my back, it was so heavy that I frowned, at least 20-30 kilograms. But there's no way around it, these are all essential items, if we don't do a good job of preparation before heading into danger, we'd be fools.

  Lu Xun didn't return until after dark, when I was in the restaurant on the ground floor of the building asking Da Ge about something. I saw that he wasn't alone, but had two men following behind him. At first, Lu Xun hadn't seen me, but someone next to him pointed this way, probably suggesting they go eat. He turned his head and our eyes met directly.

  He took a step and walked towards me. The guy standing next to him, Da Ge, smiled and whispered, "Sister, it seems that this handsome young man really has his eyes on you."

  I smiled and didn't respond. After Luchu walked in, he honestly and unceremoniously pulled the chairs from the next table over to our side and invited the other two people to sit down as well. The older brother was a man who understood social cues, so he immediately stood up and said he had to leave, or else his wife would make a fuss at home. I nodded with a smile, thinking that this older brother was also a straightforward person, bringing up his sister-in-law's matter openly.

  After the others left, Lu Xun pointed to the two people beside him and introduced: "This is Liang Ge, this is San Kuai Zi." I took a closer look at the two men, barely holding back from furrowing my brow. It wasn't that they looked ugly or anything, but rather that the man called Liang Ge had an air of evil about him in his eyes, like those hoodlums outside. As for San Kuai Zi, it's better not to mention him - if he were standing outside, people would probably take him for a beggar. His clothes looked like they hadn't been washed in ages, and his hair was as messy as a bird's nest.

  Actually, I'm not very familiar with Luchu, if it weren't for those things that tied us together, we wouldn't have any connection at all. So after sitting down, the three of them talked about their own stuff, and I just listened in, roughly discussing tomorrow's arrangements and plans. When the conversation reached halfway, Luchu suddenly turned his head and asked: "Do you have any other opinions? You can bring it up now, and we'll discuss it together."

  At that time, I was a bit drowsy and was staring blankly when he suddenly asked me like this. My brain didn't react in time, so I stared at him for a while until I saw the doubt in his eyes, then shook my head and said: "I have no opinion. You guys discuss it, I'll go back first, if there's another decision, tell me tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, I wanted to get up, but he grabbed my arm, "It's not even 8 o'clock yet, you want to sleep?"

  "I listlessly replied: 'Biological clock.'"

  But he didn't give up and still hadn't let go, "There are still some things that haven't been discussed, such as the things we need to bring..."

  "Whatever, whatever, you decide." Irritated, she shook off his hand and walked out the door. It seemed like she heard the other two whispering to each other, but didn't quite catch it. Only when she got back to her second-floor hotel room did she remember that she had left without paying for the food she just ate.
