Wang Zijun was a little impatient because it was not his turn to speak, so he urged me: "It's already dark, Shen Bing should be here, and you should go buy a ticket."
Qu Mo exclaimed, "Ah!" and said with a look of realization, "Master Xi is going to Huangshan, right? I heard Zijun said he was going there to exorcise demons?"
I looked at Wang Zijun in annoyance, wondering how come this guy is so easy-mouthed and tells everything. He even said he was exorcising demons, but he just likes to brag. He is at most a demon, not a demon.
I forced a smile and said, "It is our duty as Heavenly Masters to eliminate demons and defend the Way." I am quite thick-skinned.
She suddenly took out her phone to check the time, then stood up and looked at the train schedule on the wall. She said to me excitedly, "The train is at 9 pm, so there's still time. I'll go back and pack up. I've decided to follow Master Xi to Huangshan to learn more."
When Wang Zijun and I heard this, we almost fainted. This girl has gone crazy!
Wang Zijun quickly pulled her aside, apparently trying to persuade her. But after a while, he came over to me with his head down and said, "Are we good friends?"
I was stunned. Why did this guy suddenly ask this question? Then I thought that he must have been instigated by the girl, so I scolded him angrily: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't beat around the bush with me."
"Qu Mo is determined to go to Huangshan with you. She said that if I can't help her, we won't have to meet again." Wang Zijun said pitifully.
I looked up and saw that Qu Mo was far away from us and couldn't hear what I said. I turned my back to her and said to Wang Zijun with gritted teeth, "Listen carefully, kid. It's true that we are good friends, but I would rather you be single for the rest of your life than take her to Huangshan."
As I was speaking, I heard Shen Bing calling me, "Country bumpkin, here I come." I closed my eyes. Calling me a country bumpkin in front of so many people was so disrespectful!
But this sentence was so kind and warm that it made ripples in my heart. I turned around and saw her running towards me breathlessly, wearing a white windbreaker, looking particularly beautiful, with her little face red from the cold, and beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, looking as cute as she could be.
"Have you bought the ticket? Have you bought the ticket?" She ran up to me and asked repeatedly.
I said, "Not yet. I'm waiting for you." I looked at my watch. It took her only two and a half hours to get here. I don't know how she flew here. I ran to the ticket office to buy a ticket. I felt much happier. I haven't seen her for more than a month. I felt indescribably happy when I saw her again today.
There is no direct train to Huangshan, so I chose to transfer in Nanjing. The whole journey is estimated to take 24 hours. Qu Mo's timetable was correct, so he bought two tickets for 9 o'clock. After buying the tickets, I saw Shen Bing, Qu Mo and Wang Zijun standing together and chatting happily. They became close friends in a short time. Shen Bing saw that I bought the tickets and shouted, "Aren't they going to Huangshan too? It will be so lively if we go together. Buy two more tickets."
I pulled her aside and told her the truth. We had a mission to go to Huangshan this time, and taking her with me was already an exception. If I brought two more burdens with me, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take care of them if we encountered some powerful demons or ghosts.
She curled her lips and said, "What's the big deal? The three of us are hiking for fun. Go and kill the monster by yourself. We have nothing to do with each other."
I said no, I would feel uneasy if I didn’t stay with you. After all, there are evil spirits in the mountains and it’s too unsafe.
But she said, "There are tens of thousands of tourists visiting Huangshan every year, but I've never heard of anyone encountering a ghost. Don't think that your customers will all suffer the same fate if they run into such a thing." As she spoke, she winked at Wang Zijun, and the boy happily went to buy a ticket.
I was speechless. What she said made sense. If I refused to agree, it would seem that I had ulterior motives. In fact, I really wanted to go out alone with Shen Bing.
So, the team going to Huangshan changed from two of us to four people, which was quite lively. Besides, I had two beautiful girls with me, which attracted many envious and jealous looks, which greatly satisfied my vanity, even though one of them was not my girlfriend.
