Found Cao Mingzhe! I almost jumped with excitement. One of the main tasks of our trip to Beipan River was to find Cao Mingzhe. At least one task was completed, which finally gave my frustrated and restless heart some comfort. "You stare at it for a while, I'll go to sleep first. Let's go to bed first." Each of the four people stayed vigil for two hours, listening to what was going on over there. The last one called me, "I'm on the last shift." Fatty After that, he turned around and lay down on the bamboo bed to sleep. Your sister, at two o'clock each, by the time you are all bright, I know it's already past midnight. But I didn't expose his trick. This guy must have been very sleepy, otherwise he would have said, "Hey, let's talk to me first." ∈◇, When I woke up, Fatty and Vietnamese were already awake. The two people were facing each other a few meters apart, as if they were conveying information with their eyebrows. Looking at the strange scene in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a chill running through my body. This Vietnam guy couldn’t be in love with Fatty because he was abused for a long time. Does Fatty also like this tune? The flirting between the two ended with A San shaking his head firmly and Fatty showing disappointment. I got up from the ground with a sigh of relief, glanced at them with an unbearable look, showed an uncontrollable disgusted expression, and fled the room as fast as I could. There was a roar from Fatty behind him: "What the hell is that look in your eyes? It's not what you think!"
Genius I trust you. Anyway, I have to be cautious of you from now on. Thinking back to the times I shared a bed with him sends chills down my spine.
Xiao Ting was checking Fumi's wound when I walked in. She looked surprised and asked, "What happened to Gangzi? Who provoked him?"
I shook my head. "Who do you think could provoke him? With his... well, I just want to stay as far away as possible."
"Then who was he shouting at?" Xiao Ting asked, confused.
I didn't know how to respond, so I fell silent and changed the subject.
"His and Fumi's injuries haven't worsened, right? You didn't get enough rest."
As I walked past Jack and approached the window, I noticed he was still asleep, his head tilted on the wooden bed. His face had already returned to normal. The stubble made him look like a wild man. This image was quite uncompetitive; suddenly, I felt like both rivals had vanished, one even had self-castrated.
I pushed open the window and looked outside at Xiao Ting: "Look, doesn't the scenery here resemble a painting?"
It was fully bright now. Our Bamboo House sat halfway up a mountain, built layer upon layer from the foot of the hill, not densely packed but very orderly. Before me were rows of high-hipped roofs with old green tiles that exuded an antique charm.
Below the mountain lay a vast Paddy Field. Further away was a line of hills that mirrored each other, all with gentle slopes resembling a row of villas, showcasing nature's incredible craftsmanship. The sun was rising between two hills, its light not yet blinding, resembling a giant orange with vibrant and enticing colors.
The air was filled with the fragrant scent of flowers and grass, as if it had been filtered, all fresh oxygen. I took a deep breath, feeling the saturation of oxygen in my blood. My eyes were filled with the sight of blue tiles, green mountains, and water.
Xiao Ting stood beside me, enchanted. "It's so beautiful."
"Yeah, I just want to melt into it," Fatty's voice suddenly chimed in.
I turned my head and saw Fatty standing behind me, winking. "Qiangzi, get ready to head out."
It seemed I had nothing to prepare; all my gear was still in the Underground Cavern. All I needed to do was grab Jack and I could go. Time to chop some firewood.
"What about you?" I looked at Fatty. "You have more things to prepare."
"I'm just going to enjoy the scenery with Xiao Ting. You go ahead and take care of your stuff."
Damn. That was a blatant provocation. This guy's preferences were quite complicated, seeming to swing both ways. But what surprised me the most was that Xiao Ting actually gave Fatty a knowing glance, seemingly with a hint of shyness.
In an instant, I became the least popular person around. My face felt a bit hot; if I stayed any longer, I'd be redder than the rising sun.
Frustrated, I turned away. "Do you want me to take Jack and Fumi out of the way so you two can enjoy the view?"
Fatty waved his hand dismissively. "No need."
I heard Xiao Ting chuckle softly.
No, I needed to find an opportunity to expose Fatty's true nature and prevent him from harming Xiao Ting. First, I should check with A San to see what their relationship really was.
As I reached the door, a Hakka person walked in. It was the same individual who had brought us here last night. "Mr. Zhang, the clan leader wants to discuss something with you."
I was taken aback. Why were they looking for me? They should be speaking to Fatty; he was the one who found this place and the first among us to interact with this village.
"What is it?" I asked, though I was puzzled.
I figured they must be asking on behalf of Fatty. I wasn't familiar with this village and had no idea what agreement Fatty had initially made with them. It would be better for Fatty to handle this matter himself. If I went, it would only be as his companion.
The Hakka person shook his head indifferently. "You'll find out when you go. Besides, don't you have questions? Some things can only be answered by our clan leader."
Indeed, that statement struck a chord with me. This village and its people made me feel both uneasy and curious.
Curiosity killed the cat. I knew my inquisitiveness could lead to trouble, especially here, in a place that felt dangerous. However, the intricate connections between this underground space and the Lop Nur underground space compelled me to uncover the truth. I sensed there might be astonishing discoveries waiting.
"Alright then, I'm eager to meet your clan leader."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a hand press down on my shoulder. Turning around, I saw Fatty frowning at me, seemingly disapproving of my hasty agreement.
"I'll go with you. I have something to ask him too."
Hearing Fatty say this, my heart relaxed a little. With such a big guy accompanying us, it would definitely stabilize everyone's nerves. However, the Hakka People frowned slightly, looking somewhat apprehensive towards Fatty.
Fatty handed the 16 hanging around his neck to Xiao Ting, giving her a slight nod, and his mouth seemed to move a few times. Then he turned around and said, "Let's go."
The Hakka Clan Leader lived in a Bamboo House at the highest point of the hillside. The Bamboo House looked quite ordinary, indistinguishable from the one I lived in. Of course, the interior was different; first of all, this room had no bed and was somewhat larger. Near the window was a table with a Zisha Tea Set on it. Sitting in front of the window, backlit, was a man wrapped in a headscarf, gently sipping from a cup of tea.
"Your people attacked me after they went down. I want to know what happened?" Upon meeting him, Fatty immediately questioned loudly. (To Be Continued...)
