  After we went up, the three of us were surprisingly evenly matched, standing next to the three waiting people. We had agreed not to mention our experience in the stone cave, only telling them it was a very small hole, nothing inside, and they had made a wasted trip.

  The ones who were originally impatient suddenly cheered with joy, feeling lucky that they hadn't gone down. The gloomy expression on their faces immediately disappeared, replaced by a refreshed spirit. I couldn't help but laugh, this is probably the inferiority complex of human beings at play, seeing others' misfortune makes one forget their own.

  Hehe, this can be used as a treatment method for psychologists, called "Attention Transfer Method". Haha, how talented am I? A little self-love.

  Back at Xiao Yang's house, it was already after noon. During lunch, we also told Xiao Dad and Xiao Mom about what happened earlier. When Xiao Dad took out the sapphire, I said this isn't some kind of treasure, there's nothing valuable on the mountain, this is probably something that couple who went up the mountain to play dropped by accident while they were fooling around, it's not some particularly precious gemstone, maybe it's even a fake. So, there's no need to worry about it, we don't want it either, let's leave it for Xiao Yang to give to his girlfriend in the future! When I said this, Xiao Dad's furrowed brow finally relaxed, but Xiao Yang glared at me and his face turned bright red. Hehe, I love seeing him blush, it makes him less cool and more charming.

  After lunch, we had to go back. Xiao Yang sent us one by one, all the way to the last mountain ridge. Under our repeated persuasion, he reluctantly stood there and saw us off down the mountain. The road down the mountain was pretty good, even Pang Yu and Bao'er didn't say they were tired.

  We arrived at the town and split into two groups, agreeing to meet up again at the bridge outside of town on our way home. Lu Qi and Pang Yu took Bao'er back home, while I went with Qiao Hui to visit her family's noodle shop and clothing store.

  In the afternoon, the noodle shop was not busy. Auntie Er was cleaning the kitchen and preparing ingredients for dinner. Seeing us return, she hurriedly asked if we had eaten. We said we had already eaten. Auntie Er told us to sit down and after a while, she brought out a big bowl. With a smile, she said: "Come on, Xiaoyun! Auntie Er heard your introduction and made this kind of noodle again. I don't know if it's done right, try some!"

  A bowl of colorful noodles was placed in front of me, and my eyes lit up. Isn't this San Xian Mian? A long time ago, I mentioned to Er Shu that using three-colored side dishes with eggs and fresh shrimp would make the noodles especially delicious, with a particularly fresh flavor, so it's called San Xian Mian. Of course, if there's no seafood, you can also use bones to stew the soup. I didn't expect Er Shu to remember, and she actually made it!

  Second Aunt looked at me not moving my chopsticks and got a bit anxious: "How is it, Little Cloud? Did Second Aunt do something wrong?" "No, I was just thinking in my heart that Second Aunt is so talented!" I quickly picked up my chopsticks and started eating. "Second Aunt, you could totally be the imperial chef of the palace! Luckily there's no palace now, or else we wouldn't get to eat this." Only then did Second Aunt smile: "Really delicious?" I ate with big mouthfuls, proving that what I said was true.

  I raised my head to see Qiao Wei staring at the bowl, and I stopped with embarrassment: "Uh, Auntie Er, is there any more?" Auntie Er smiled and said: "There is, there is, finish eating and then go get some!" She winked at Qiao Wei, who smiled and went to the kitchen to get a bowl for herself. This was just like Auntie Er, every time she had something new to eat, she would make me try it first and forget about her own daughter. But we were used to it, knowing that Auntie Er was generous and always made extra, so Qiao Wei just waited for herself to get some. Seeing us eating with relish, Auntie Er was overjoyed, muttering to herself: "Xiaoyun is truly Auntie Er's lucky star!"

  Saying goodbye to my aunt, we arrived at our family's clothing store. My mom and aunt were still very busy. Thinking that Chinese New Year is approaching soon, I told my mom that I would stay home for the next few days to draw some designs for new year clothes. My mom agreed.

  Watching them being so busy, I felt happy but also worried. How can they keep being so busy without taking a break? Gradually, some new ideas formed in my mind. After Chinese New Year, I will expand this clothing store and hire a few more people, so that my mom can take a rest.

  Let my aunt be the master to lead those new employees, and my mom can just focus on overall management. Hehe, our family business is about to take shape.

  When I and Qiu arrived at the bridgehead outside the town, the sky was already late, and it was sunset. Lu Qi and Pang Yu had been waiting there for a long time. They didn't blame us. So, we traveled together.

  What a coincidence, we've run into another group of thugs. They were bullying two girls, surrounding them and making obscene gestures, one thug even saying some lewd words: "Come on, little sister, let's have some fun! I haven't seen such a pretty girl in ages."

  It's true that when you see injustice on the road, you draw your sword to help. I let out a loud shout: "Stop!" I used some internal force in that one shout, making it sound exceptionally loud and clear. The clever Xiu beside me was startled, hastily covering her ears. Those thugs were also left standing there stupidly, not knowing what hit them.

  I walked over, pulled up the two girls who were shaking with fear, and said to them: "You go back, we've got this." "Are you Sister Ruoyun?" A timid voice sounded. Hmm? Could it be that the people we rescued are acquaintances? Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Chen Feier, the class flower of Xiao Yang's class! And also Lu Qi's childhood sweetheart! Looking at her pitiful and beautiful appearance, anyone who saw her would be moved, she's really a beauty! I couldn't help but feel admiration in my heart.

  "Hey, what's going on? You're also... why are you coming back so late? This road often has thugs, luckily we met, otherwise..." Wait, what's wrong with me? I'm actually saying these words that make her uncomfortable? Shaking my head, seeing her pitiful expression looking at Lu Qi: "Brother Qi, I came to find you. When I went to your house, no one was there. They said you came to town, but my sister and I looked for a long time and couldn't find you."

  I was suddenly enlightened. It turned out that their target was him? At this time, those thugs had already surrounded us, and there were more than a dozen of them, so they were naturally unscrupulous and didn't put us in their eyes at all. Lu Qi walked to my side with a light smile and said, "Watch me today! It's just right for me to practice my skills." As he moved his body, I heard several cries of surprise, and three people fell down.

  It wasn't until then that those thugs realized they were in trouble today. But they still didn't give up, and the leader shouted again: "Brothers, let's go! Whoever dares to block our way, we'll take care of him. And look, two chicks have arrived, not bad-looking either. Today is going to be a good day for us. Haha!"
