"Really, it turned out to be a temple fair dedicated to Bai Ze."

"Well, so if you go to the temple fair, you should find a lot of interesting things." Zhu Xuan said with a smile.

"So that's the case." Shi Yitong nodded seriously, looked at me and Su Xiaoyun and asked, "Hey, since that's the case, let's wait until the day of the temple fair—when is the temple fair?"

"Two days later." Zhu Xuan quickly replied.

"Ah, two days later." Shi Yitong clapped his hands, "Why don't we have fun in the neighborhood for the next two days!"

"Hey, why are you delaying the serious business again!" Su Xiaoyun reached out and knocked Shi Yitong.

"No, but the problem is that we don't seem to have any other clues besides the temple fair." Shi Yitong scratched his hair, "It's hard for us to come here again. It's right to play around. Right? feather?"

Shi Yitong suddenly pulled me into the water, and I couldn't help but say, "I don't have any complaints... Anyway, it's unknown whether I can find it."

"Are you going to play on the mountain?" Zhuxuan seemed to be suddenly interested and said, "There are many interesting places on the mountain. The oranges in the picking garden are delicious, and you can go boating and fishing on the lake. But these tourist attractions open to the public are similar. , might as well go hunting in the north."

"Hunting, hunting?" Shi Yitong's eyes widened all of a sudden.

"Yes, that's right. Diecui Mountain is a mountain range. Only the highest peak is open for tourist attractions, and the northern area is still wild mountains. There are many pheasants and rabbits in it, as well as many wild vegetables and mushrooms. If you follow me, you will be able to catch a lot of delicious food, and if you are lucky, you can even dig matsutake on the mountain!"

"Wow, it's true!" Shi Yitong's eyes lit up.

"Well, really." Zhu Xuan smiled shyly at Shi Yitong.

Sure enough, Shi Yitong immediately began to encourage Su Xiaoyun and me, "Hey, what do you think? I think it's great, this is a rare opportunity!"

"I don't want to go." Su Xiaoyun expressed his attitude, with a straight face, "It's enough to experience Yanjinshan once."

"Hey, what about Gu Yu?" Shi Yitong looked at me expectantly.

"Uh... I don't care what I do, it's up to you." I shrugged.

"Hey, hey, how could you be like this." Shi Yitong said dejectedly, "Shouldn't you be very interested in such activities as a child in a big city? You are so indifferent, you deserve to be a squat at home."

For some reason, Zhu Xuan seemed to be concerned about Shi Yitong's reaction all the time. Seeing that Su Xiaoyun and I were both lacking in interest, he said anxiously, "Well, I can take you to play. I am very good at hunting, and there will never be any ferocious beasts in Diecui Mountain. We Go, come back before dark, nothing will happen. Besides... even if I don't go to the deep mountains, I can take you to other attractions."

What's the matter with this boy, he always feels a little too enthusiastic. Su Xiaoyun and I looked at each other, and felt that the boy's enthusiasm was really too generous.

"Then add me." I raised my hand to help Shi Yitong, "It looks interesting."

"Yes! Gu Yu, I knew you wouldn't betray your buddy!"

Su Xiaoyun crossed her arms and looked at the two of us with her mouth flattened. She shook her head, "Really, you boys know how to go crazy every day. There is really nothing I can do about you. If you all want to go, then of course I will go with you." Slightly."

"Long live Goddess Su!" Shi Yitong cheered.

"However, is it okay for you to play with us like this? Will it not delay your own affairs?" I asked apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhu Xuan quickly waved his hands, showing a shy smile and said, "Anyway, I'm idle, and I don't have anything to do, so I'm doing everyone a favor."

"It's rare to see such a kind person nowadays." Su Xiaoyun teased.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go?" Shi Yitong said with an eager expression.

"Hey, wait, now? Are we going out now?" Su Xiaoyun was surprised.

Shi Yitong looked down at his watch, "Everyone is up anyway, it's almost seven o'clock now, isn't it just right?"

"It's just right, I haven't washed my face, combed my hair, put on makeup, or picked out my clothes!" Su Xiaoyun immediately stood up, and pointed a finger at Shi Yitong and me who were confused, "Well, wait for me, I'll Go back to the room and tidy up, and I'll be right back, how about it!"

After Su Xiaoyun finished speaking, she ran upstairs, leaving Shi Yitong and me with a dazed look on their faces. We could only sit on the sofa and wait for Su Xiaoyun to come back.

However, Su Xiaoyun, who said "I'll be right back", went there for an hour and still hasn't come back. And Shi Yitong and I were already staggering on the sofa and were about to fall asleep.

"Let's go, let's go, I'm going to sweep the floor."

A voice woke us up from our stupor. Shi Yitong and I opened our eyes, only to find that it was the boss Xu Yingchen walking slowly with a broom and dustpan in his hand. To be honest, the black woolen coat he was wearing like a secret agent did not match the broom in his hand at all.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Shi Yitong and I quickly stood up, making way for Xu Yingchen to sweep the floor. But Zhuxuan didn't seem to sit down since just now.

"Really, Su Xiaoyun is a bit too slow." Shi Yitong scratched her hair, "Are all girls this troublesome?"

After hearing what Shi Yitong said, I laughed dryly twice. I have lingering fears about how girls dress up before going out. In the first two years, when my mother was tossing me every day, I couldn't go out for less than two hours a day. So much so that when I go out, as long as I don't speak, no one can tell that I am a boy.

"That's to say, it's always troublesome for girls to go out. My ex-wife is like that. Before going out, she always wears rouge and loose powder. So you should be mentally prepared for this before you bring girls out." Xu Yingchen Looking at me with a smile, "Right, Gu Yu?"

ah? I? The name was inexplicably mentioned, and I had no choice but to nod in confusion.

"I'm sorry." Shi Yitong also apologized guiltily to Zhu Xuan who was standing beside him, "Well, my friend has been delayed for too long, if you want to..."

"Ah, no need." Zhu Xuan didn't seem to mind at all, "Like I said, I'm idle if I'm idle."

I looked at this young man named Zhuxuan, and couldn't help but feel a little curious, "By the way, Zhuxuan, you said you are a local... Are you a student here?"

"No." Zhu Xuan answered very simply.

"Uh..." I was a bit embarrassed by his answer, "Then you, are you working nearby?"

"No." Zhu Xuan smiled, "I should be considered a free vagrant, don't worry about it."

"Then what are you doing here?" Shi Yitong was also aroused by this topic, and looked at Zhuxuan, "You are like an NPC that suddenly appeared in the game, as if it was specially designed to guide us .”

After Zhuxuan finished listening, he showed confused eyes, as if he didn't hear the meaning of Shi Yitong's words. I rolled my eyes in my heart, Shi Yitong likes to say some weird things casually.

"No, I'm here to wait for someone." Zhu Xuan smiled.

wait for someone? So, is there a friend who wants to come here to play? No wonder then that he lived in an inn and had nothing to do.

"Speaking of which, are you going to play in the north of Diecui Mountain?" Xu Yingchen interrupted at this time, "I just overheard you talking."

"Yes." Shi Yitong replied, "What's the matter, uncle?"

"Oh, no, no, I've been to that place many times. Hearing you guys say I'm going to play there brings back a lot of memories for me."

"Wow, uncle, is it fun to be in the mountains?" Shi Yitong asked immediately.

"It's fun, there are many interesting things. But you must remember to bring a compass and turn on the GPS on your phone, otherwise you will easily get lost in the mountains." Xu Yingchen instructed.

"Don't worry about that, with me leading them, they will definitely not get lost." Zhu Xuan laughed.

"Well, if you go during the day, you usually won't encounter any wild animals." Xu Yingchen said with a smile, and at the same time turned his gaze to me, "However, we still have to be more careful."

This uncle... why is he looking at me again? Are you telling me not to do it

Before I could think about it carefully, Su Xiaoyun's voice came from upstairs.

"Gu Yu! Shi Yitong! Sorry, sorry, I'm late!"

"You also know that you are late." I teased, "You don't know how long you have been on the horse right now."

"Oh, isn't it normal for girls to love beauty? How can you rough guys understand." Su Xiaoyun pursed her lips and straightened her collar.

"Uh, but..." Shi Yitong said in embarrassment, "To be honest, I don't think there has been any change."

Su Xiaoyun slapped Shi Yitong on the head with a slap, "Say it again?"

"Hey! Hey! Madam, spare my life! Madam, spare my life!"

However, during this trip, the nervousness in our hearts did not happen at all. The Diecui Mountain is a quiet and deep place, the sun shines through the gaps between the branches. We have neither encountered any beasts or wolves, nor encountered any inexplicable girl ghosts and monsters like last time on Yanjin Mountain. Everything went smoothly, and even Su Xiaoyun, who was originally unwilling to come to play, became happier.

Zhuxuan held a shotgun in his hand, which was said to be borrowed from an old man's house nearby. His movements are really skillful, the movement of loading the gun and the posture when aiming, it seems that he has merged with the mountain, and he has stunned us several times.
