The place where Lian Rumeng worked was a temporary greenhouse with several straw mat knitting machines. In the working knitting machine, sheets of rush mats were spit out, and then Cut to size by female workers, and then seamed.
"Hey Rumeng, where are you going when you don't work at this time?" a man in a shirt asked, looking at Lian Rumeng.
Lian Rumeng choked and said, "Hello, I'm Lian Rumeng's sister, I'm here to find her."
The man smiled "hehe": "Okay, if you learn to be lazy and don't talk, you will be amused?"
As soon as the words fell, Lian Runing and Hao Jian heard an exclamation not far away: "Lian Runing?!"
I saw a girl with a headscarf tied on her head, almost exactly like Lian Runing, running straight towards Lian Runing. Lian Runing didn't take a closer look when she saw a pair of dirty hands touching her face...
When Hao Jian saw Lian Rumeng's real person, he was really in a trance, thinking it was Lian Rumeng's mitosis.
"It's really you, Lian Rumeng, you're still alive!" The sisters exclaimed slightly excitedly, as if looking in a mirror.
Lian Runing patted her hand and glared at her: "No big or small, call me sister!"
"We are twins who became fertilized eggs at the same time, why?" Lian Rumeng said, but the joy was still beyond words.
"..." Her words almost didn't make the people around her laugh, and Hao Jian was also amused, but she didn't laugh out loud.
"But I was born two minutes before you." Lian Runing rolled her eyes.
Lian Rumeng said: "When I was about to come out of my mother's stomach, you kicked me and made me run to the back. Don't deny it, there is a B ultrasound to prove it."
"… "
Seeing that Lian Rumeng was endless, Lian Runing said to the man, "Excuse me, are you the person in charge here? I want to go through the formalities for her to leave here, look..."
The man could hardly tell which one was Lian Rumeng, so he calmed down and said, "It can be done, anyway, working here is a daily affair, but if you want to leave, you still have to go to the management office to do it. formalities."
"I see, thanks."
After the man allowed Lian Rumeng to leave, Lian Rumeng poked Lian Rumeng: "Why didn't you ask me if I wanted to leave?"
"You don't want to leave?" Lian Runing asked rhetorically.
"If someone else came looking for me, I would definitely not want to leave, but if you want me to leave, then I must be willing, and I can't slap my family in the face, right?" Lian Rumeng said, as if thinking of something, " By the way, a man came to me the day before yesterday and said that my parents asked him to pick me up, is that the case?"
Lian Runing nodded: "Yes, and Dad spent 10,000 yuan to find you."
Lian Rumeng stared, pulling Lian Rumeng before leaving: "Then hurry up, go to them and ask them to refund."
Lian Runing seemed to know this twin sister for the first time. She said, "Did you care so much about the ten thousand yuan before?"
"I don't want to talk about the past, but now I care."
In the past, she had no worries about food and clothing, and her parents did not put any pressure on her. After all, there was an older sister who was always watched by her father, and a younger brother who was always watched by her mother, so she was free and unfettered.
Later, she said she wanted to study art, and her family did not object. Just like learning music, taking the path of art always requires a lot of money. Her parents never complained that the tuition fees and equipment are too expensive, so that she has no concept of money.
After going to university, her tuition and living expenses were three times that of Lian Ruling, but her family never thought of letting her learn anything else. Before 10,000 yuan was put aside, even her one-year tuition was not enough, and when she tutored art students who were about to take the college entrance examination, she received a lot of money.
But after the end of the world, she seemed to be unemployed all of a sudden, and no one was willing to spend money on art. The manual work she was looking for was not very high, but only now did she realize that 10,000 yuan was really a lot.
When Lian Rumeng pulled Lian Runing out, she noticed Hao Jian who had been standing beside her sister but said nothing.
The intuition of women, and the unique "telepathy" between twins after being in close contact with the twin sister, gave her a subtle feeling.
"Who is this?"
"Your sister's friend, Hao Jian." When Lian Runing introduced Hao Jian, she was very nervous, for fear that Lian Rumeng would see something, but also worried that she would not see anything.
"Is it a strong Jian, or is it a letterhead?" Although Lian Rumeng thinks the name is very funny, she is not a rude person. When facing her family and friends, she may show her livelyness. On the one hand, the stranger she met for the first time was a friend brought by Lian Ruling, and she knew how to behave.
Hao Jian smiled and stretched out his hand to her: "The letterhead."
Lian Rumeng also stretched out her hand, but she realized that her hands were dirty, and she was a little embarrassed: "I'm used to dirty hands, but I haven't been able to change it for a while."
"People who pursue art don't stick to subsections, I understand."
Lian Rumeng's eyes lit up: "Then what should I call you?"
"You can call me 'Sister Hao' just like Ru Ji."
"Understood, Sister Hao!"
Hao Jian couldn't help laughing, practicing Rumeng's outgoing temperament, it was rare for them to admit their sisters were wrong.
As if she knew what Hao Jian was thinking, Lian Runing reminded her in a low voice: "Don't look at her like this now, when she focuses on one thing, she is not like this at all. Besides, she is very good at acting, and she often pretended to be me when she was a child. If I did bad things, I was pushed to me, and for a while, my relatives thought I was the one who liked to make trouble."
Recalling the days when she was misunderstood and complained by relatives when she was a child, and finally cleared her grievances under the explanation of her wise parents, she both misses and feels very emotional.
Hao Jian smiled and said, "No matter how good she is, she can't deceive me."
Let's not say that Hao Jian has the confidence to distinguish the two sisters, but there is a system, and it can't be wrong.
Thinking of this, she found that the system hadn't prompted the completion of side mission 2, so she wondered if she wanted to let Lian Rumeng, Lian Qingmiao and others reunite to reunite the family
Lian Rumeng went to wash her hands and came back, and then pulled Lian Rumeng to tell about the experiences of both parties over the past few days. But most of the time, Lian Rumeng was talking, and Lian Rumeng just listened quietly.
In fact, Lian Rumeng is just as Hao Jian speculated. When she encounters some unusual things in the city where she sketches, others usually think it is a terrorist-attack. After all, there are many unstable factors in the city where she sketches.
However, she is a person who can surf the Internet. Some gossip has been spread on chat software and social software. Some people even say that Nanfang City is the first city to experience chaos.
Her intuition at this time told her that something would happen sooner or later if she stayed here, so she opened the software and wanted to buy a flight home without saying a word. The results showed that flights to Nanfang City were cancelled, and even direct trains were suspended.
She knew now that something must have happened, so she tried her best to take a short-distance train, take a bus, even carpool with others, and rent a motorcycle. It took a few days, emptying out his savings and overdrafting Huabei, before returning to Buddha City.
Originally, she was already in the car back to Nanfang City, but someone in the car went mad. The guards appeared quickly, killed the mad people, and dragged the rest of them back to the film and television city for inspection. .
She was quarantined for two days before she was finally released.
After she came out, when she wanted to go back to Nanfang City, she was informed that it was the hardest-hit area and advised her not to go back.
After she figured out what happened outside, she also knew that if she went out, she didn't know how to die. Instead of rushing to die, it is better to plan well. After all, when she came back, she also contacted her family and was vaccinated.
The only thing that worried her was Lian Runing, but she didn't know if it was because of the twins' "telepathy". She always felt that Lian Runing was fine, so she settled here and waited for news from her family.
When Lian Rumeng listened to Lian Rumeng and said lightly about her experience of almost dying several times, she felt that she was actually the luckiest. After all, she was sent to the refuge base shortly after the disconnection. Her sister only came out of the deep mountains and forest that day and knew nothing about the news from the outside world.
Just like practicing Ru Ning's powerless hand, she could still break through, she was really shocked. At this moment, I shouted very willingly: "Sister."
____
Lian Rumeng led the two back to her hut. Although the hut was small, it was fully equipped. She said, "You sit down for a while, and I'll take a bath."
She also invited Lian Runing to wash with her. After all, her face was soiled by herself, but Lian Runing said that she could just wash her face with a basin of water.
After Lian Rumeng left, Lian Rumeng discussed with Hao Jian whether to contact the "Brother Guard" and told them that he would take the person away.
Hao Jian thought for a while and said, "Contact is necessary, but instead of telling them that we will take them away, we want them to send Rumeng back to the university town."
Lian Runing couldn't turn around until Hao Jian said, "We're going to Pearl City. It's not good for her to take her with us."
Lian Runing reacted, and her eyes widened immediately: "You mean 'we'? Your mission..."
"Shh—" Hao Jian put her index finger on her lips, and smiled, "My mission has changed, and it is also my mission to go to Pearl City."
It was indeed her mission—her main quest 2.
The world and the system are all puzzles. If she wants to get close to the truth and understand the truth, she still has to follow the tasks of the system and upgrade step by step. When she reaches the highest level, she may be able to achieve her goal.
Besides, her purpose of coming here in the first place was to contact Ding Gunian. Now that Pan Yingfeng has a detailed plan for Ding Gunian's arrangement, she doesn't need to rush things with her colleagues anymore.
She also didn't forget that when she rejected Pan Yingfeng's proposal to let her continue to contact Ding Gu Nian, the other party was obviously relieved. It seemed that he did not want Hao Jian to compete with her.
He thought he was hiding well, but he couldn't hide it from Hao Jian.
Lian Runing looked at her suspiciously: "Are you sure you're not worried about my safety, that's why you made your own decisions?"
"Of course I don't worry about handing you over to others for protection, but I can't say that I'm making my own decisions. After all, I'm not a member of the escort team, so I don't have so many rules to restrain me." Hao Jian blinked, "And little junior sister. Forget, I still have a debt to pay back?"
Lian Runing suddenly remembered that Hao Kan was in Pearl City before he lost contact.
She didn't know what kind of inner storm Hao Jian had to go through to accept this fact calmly, but since Hao Jian wanted to find him to settle it, that's fine. No matter what, she would stay by Hao Jian's side.
The two did not discuss the matter too much, and while they were waiting for Lian Rumeng, a boy came to the wooden house and looked in. When he saw Lian Ruling, a bright expression appeared on his clean face. Smile: "Rumeng, I heard that your sister is looking for you, this is you—"
His eyes fell on Hao Jian's face, his throat seemed to be pinched, and all the words were swallowed back.
Lian Runing knew that he was mistaken, but she was keenly aware of the subtle atmosphere between the boy and Hao Jian.
"you… "
"Damn, Hao Cha?! You're not Hao, why are you Rumeng's sister?" the boy shouted, but his focus was on Hao Jian's relationship with Lian Rumeng.
When Lian Runing heard the name, she instantly remembered that Hao Jian's livestreaming username was "Chi'er Cha". words composed of pinyin.
In other words, "Hao Cha" should be one of Hao Jian's nicknames, and people who call her that way are usually people who know she is the anchor and have a good relationship with her.
When Hao Jian also called out "Xiaoxiao" unexpectedly, Lian Runing got the answer.
This 1.8 meter tall, handsome but young boy is Hao Jian's friend You Xiaoxiao.
You Xiaoxiao only thought about it at this time: "No, how do I remember that you went back to your hometown, your hometown is not the same as mine?"
"Does your focus have to be so peculiar, don't you ask me about my situation?"
"Do you want me to greet you?" You Xiaoxiao asked.
"… no need."
Lian Ru Ning finally knew why Hao Jian was so arrogant sometimes. It was You Xiaoxiao who brought her down, right? !
"Oh, Rumeng, how did you become sisters..." You Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at them in horror, "Isn't it what I thought, Rumeng, did your father..."
Hao Jian looked at him with a half-smile, "You know Rumeng?"
"I know, the relationship is not bad!" You Xiaoxiao said.
"Then how did she describe her sister to you?"
You Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and her eyes widened immediately: "The twins... do they look so similar?"
Lian Runing was amused by him and stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Lian Runing, and I am Rumeng's twin sister."
You Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand uncomfortably and said with a smirk, "Hello, you have the same face as Rumeng, and you are so polite, I'm a little uncomfortable."
"How did you know each other?" Lian Ruming asked. She not only asked how You Xiaoxiao and Lian Rumeng met, but also wanted to know how he and Hao Jian met.
You Xiaoxiao didn't hear the pun, and he said bluntly: "We met on the bus back to my hometown, because that bus would pass through Nanfang City, so she got in the car, and we got out of the car. After something happened, we were sent here... Later, after some exchanges, I felt that we were sympathetic to each other, so we became friends."
Lian Runing understands You Xiaoxiao's mood. He was trapped in Buddha City and could not return to his parents. While he was anxious, he had no choice but to be similar to her back then!
She didn't know whether to tell him about their encounter with You Xiaoxiao's parents. After all, it had been a long time since they left You's house, and no one knew what was going on there.
And Hao Jian is more qualified to decide whether to say it or not.
Hao Jian didn't seem to plan to tell You Xiaoxiao about the situation of the You family for the time being. She asked about the situation in Pearl City.
You Xiaoxiao had to transfer to Buddha City because there was no flight to Nanfang City. He came back late, so he was very aware of the movements of Pearl City.
Just as he was talking, Lian Rumeng came back from the shower.
She took off her turban, changed her dirty clothes, and cleaned her whole body, but she was not much different from Lian Ruling. Especially when she didn't speak, she was so quiet that Hao Jian felt a little dazed, thinking that Lian Runing had just come out of the shower.
However, Lian Rumeng said, "You Xiaoxiao, why did you come here?"
You Xiaoxiao compared the two sisters and patted her thigh: "Oh, you are so similar, I have never met such a similar twin!"
Although 80% of twins are twins, they are more or less different in appearance. It does not mean that only fraternal twins are like this. Identical twins will always be different after age and changes in the environment.
But there is no difference between practicing Ru Ning and practicing Ru Meng, except for a small mole on the face, it seems that the facial features are all printed out.
But after they stood together, Hao Jian could still tell that the heights of the two were different.
Lian Rumeng grinned and said, "I was about to tell you that I found my family and may have to leave here."
You Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately smiled: "Isn't that a matter of course, it's more important to be reunited with your family."
His face full of envy, reluctance, and forced smile, he almost didn't write it on his face, how could everyone not understand
Hao Jian patted him on the shoulder: "Come out and talk."
You Xiaoxiao walked out with her, Lian Rumeng was still curious: "Do they know each other?"
