Chapter 268 Looking for someone
So, in Xiaohua's eyes, I'm actually someone who, like Ali, can easily go astray?
Xie Yuchen: Aren't you one?
like……
That makes so much sense, I'm speechless...
Unable to refute, Wu Xie revealed an innocent smile, trying to make Xie Yuchen see his pure and kind nature. However, Xiao Hua was so engrossed in her phone that she didn't even glance at him.
"Little Flower, what are you doing?"
Your lively and adorable childhood friend extended a friendly invitation to you, and you actually declined it?!
Has our little boat of friendship lost its oars?
Xie Yuchen didn't take his eyes off his phone; his slender fingers flew across the keyboard, and he didn't even notice Wu Xie's reproachful gaze.
"Arrange for Jie Qi to find two people."
Looking for someone?
Who are you looking for?
"The servants at the Crescent Hotel reminded me that I had forgotten about the two children."
"The slave girl at the Crescent Moon Hotel? A child???"
Wang Pangzi grasped these two keywords and immediately thought of the kid in the book who could always outwit him.
Wang Pangzi, who was being forced to retake the lessons by Tianzhen, was most interested in this kid, who was mischievous and naughty but not as annoying as the big black rat beside him.
Black Bear: I'll take that as a compliment...
"That kid, isn't he the guy's biggest fan?"
Zhang Qiling, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them upon hearing this.
"Ah, it's that one, that one..."
Wu Xie hesitated for a long time, feeling as if the name had rolled around in her mouth several times, but then her mind went blank and she couldn't say it.
"The blind man remembers that those two kids had a tough childhood, right? But when they grew up, one of them lost an ear because of you, and the other was tricked by you and almost died several times."
"Ah, I understand!!" Su Li realized.
"It's Super Radar Loser and the Pressure That Can Send a Blind Person Away!!!"
Everyone present: Oh...
Black Bear: You're going too far if you talk like that!
"That was done by the original Wuxie, not me. I'm a good young man of the new era, I wouldn't do such a thing."
"Tch... You little madman, I bet you, if you were really pushed to that point, you would still do it. Oh right, now that you're more capable, you'd probably go even further."
Hei Xiazi fully expressed his distrust of Wu Xie, whose rebuttal was rather weak.
"you……"
Ugh!!! I'm so angry!!!
You blind bastard, I challenge you to a duel!!!
Wuxie was so angry that he wanted to shut himself away, so he turned his head and ignored Hei Xiazi.
Everyone was used to Hei Xiazi teasing Wu Xie and making him angry.
No matter how much these two mess around, when it comes to using dirty tricks to scam others, they'll suddenly be all buddies again, arms around each other and chuckling to themselves...
The main theme is mutual teasing but a good match.
………………
When the convoy returned to Banna village, everyone could clearly sense that something was off about the atmosphere in the village.
It was just past dinnertime, and normally there should be some elderly people gathered at the village entrance and in front of each house.
It's either a group of old men bragging and teasing each other, or a group of grandmothers watching children while doing simple chores with their hands.
At the very least, there should be a few idle men playing cards under the big tree at the east end of the village.
But now...
There was nothing there; the whole village was unusually quiet.
They drove the car to A-Gui's house with practiced ease, and thankfully, they finally saw him there.
A group of elders, who looked to be of high seniority in the village, dressed in traditional Yao ethnic attire, were sitting in A-Gui's courtyard smoking pipes.
Between puffs of smoke, it was clear that these people didn't look well; their brows were furrowed in worry. What major event had happened in the village?
In front of these elders, Ah Gui, who is middle-aged, is at the very bottom of the food chain.
Not only do they have to share the same worried expression, but they also have to constantly monitor the health of their elders.
He even made sure to pay attention to the tea in the enamel mugs of his elders, adding more when it was low and replacing it when it got cold.
"Uncle Gui, we're back! Huh? What happened?"
Wu Xie, relying on his and Su Li's harmless appearance, entered the door first and greeted them very enthusiastically. Then, without beating around the bush, he got straight to the point.
"What's going on in the village? We haven't seen a single person on our way back!"
"Oh, have you all finished dealing with things, bosses?"
When Ah Gui heard the familiar voice, he looked up and saw that it was indeed his several Gods of Wealth who had returned.
They had already told A-Gui before they left that they had some business to take care of and asked A-Gui to leave the house for them, with the rent still payable. They would be back in a few days.
No need to clean, greet guests, or prepare three meals a day; you can continue to make money simply by keeping the rooms open. Where else can you find such a good deal?
See, they're back now.
However, the timing of this return is a bit off.
Seeing that the elderly people in the courtyard still looked worried, the group didn't go up to bother them and went back to their rented stilt houses.
Wang Pangzi pulled Agui aside and asked, "What's going on? Has something happened in the village?"
Ah Gui sighed heavily and nodded helplessly.
It turned out that not long after they left, a group of foreigners came to the village, saying they wanted to come and investigate investment opportunities. They made a big show of it and were even more generous than these young bosses.
These foreigners didn't stay in the village; they went to the lake where they had camped before. Goodness, they were bringing in truckloads of equipment without even trying to hide it.
The village elders immediately noticed something was amiss. Their demeanor didn't resemble that of someone coming to investigate investment opportunities; rather, it was somewhat similar to that of the investigation team from years ago.
Although the villagers were uneasy and didn't want these foreigners to come in, the group of tall and burly foreigners didn't look like easy targets.
They live far from the central government, so if you anger them, something might happen in the village and no one outside would know.
Left with no other choice, they could only pretend nothing had happened and turn a blind eye to their strange behavior.
Unexpectedly, not long after these people set up camp by the lake, another group of people arrived from the village. This group did not stay in the village but headed straight into the mountains.
Late that night, they could faintly hear noises coming from the mountains. The next day, an experienced old man in the village told them that someone was definitely fighting in the mountains, and that they were using real weapons.
