Chapter 3 Unfamiliar Ancient Town
The bus turned left and right as it drove through the mountains. When it turned to the back, it was difficult to tell the difference between east, west and north. The further it drove, the more it felt like it was heading further into the mountains and old forests. Moreover, the sky was getting darker, and everyone felt uneasy.
I don't know where the driver is taking them.
After about an hour's journey, the bus drove down the mountain road and drove into an ancient town. It was surrounded by mountains, with many ancient trees standing, and some antique buildings, which seemed to be out of the world.
An isolated paradise.
According to the guide who led the way, people here have settled in the mountains for hundreds of years, with a population of several thousand. The roads leading in and out of the mountains are rugged, making it inconvenient to get in and out. Fortunately, they were also taken into account when building the road and bridge, and it was specially designed for them.
They built a mountain road.
When everyone got off the bus, residents at the entrance of the ancient town looked at them curiously, with surprise in their eyes, as if they hadn't seen the guests coming for a long time.
This ancient town is not famous, so there are very few tourists here. However, whenever the tourist season comes and the roads are congested, people will drive into this ancient town to rest and treat it as a tourist.
After listening to the introduction, everyone understood why this ancient town had many signboards of famous places. Some people felt that although this outing was a waste of time, it was okay to come to this ancient town.
This group of people attracted attention as soon as they entered the ancient town. Probably because of Lin Xi's beauty, the residents looked at each one several times, making Lin Xi a little embarrassed.
Gu Fan was a little surprised. It was okay for men to look at Lin Xi a few times, but why even women looked at Lin Xi? Could it be that the residents of this ancient town are for both men and women.
Because it was not the peak tourist season, all business was relatively deserted. Several B&B operators came up to greet us immediately and were very enthusiastic.
Du Jun showed the courage of a leader and wanted to see the living environment, then started to bargain, then selected a few that were more satisfactory, and finally discussed with everyone which one to live in.
Seeing Du Jun's leadership ability through a series of actions, Gu Fan sometimes really admired him, and had to admit that Du Jun did have the ability to be a leader, and everyone was convinced.
At this time, Lu Yi poked Gu Fan with his arm and whispered: "Brother, if you don't show off, your momentum will be outshone by your love rival. Don't forget the purpose of our visit this time."
As a man, Gu Fan certainly didn't want to lose, but this kind of battle of spirits made him lose his energy. He just wanted to get through tonight safely and return smoothly tomorrow.
But the next problem is that no B&B can accommodate sixteen of them plus a bus driver, so everyone has to be divided into three groups and stay in different famous hotels.
Gu Fan naturally lives in the same home as his best friend Lu Yi, and as Gu Fan's girlfriend, Lin Xi naturally goes to the same B&B, but of course not in the same room.
"Now that the accommodation problem has been solved, let's try to contact the outside world again. I hope someone can find a way to let us leave tomorrow." Gu Fan's proposal was immediately recognized by everyone.
Du Jun once again showed the courage of a leader and calmly made the call, and this time he actually got through.
The response I got was that the road was being cleared and the rescue team would be back tomorrow. I hope everyone can wait patiently.
After knowing the good news, everyone was happy and felt that they would have a solid sleep tonight, but Gu Fan was the only one who felt a bit chilly behind his back, and he couldn't explain why.
Lu Yi walked to Gu Fan again and whispered: "Have you noticed that the residents here have a little strange eyes, and some people are looking at us."
"I guess I didn't expect anyone to come to the ancient town at this time. Don't think too much." When he said this, Gu Fan also noticed the glances of the residents passing by him.
Afterwards, everyone decided to stay at a B&B, and Gu Fan started chatting with the owner of the B&B, especially when he mentioned the earthquake just now, and asked if such things often happened nearby.
The owner of the B&B shook his head and said that he was born and raised here and it was his first time to experience an earthquake. Fortunately, the impact was not big, it was just a slight shaking. Their ancient town was still fine.
"Is it just a slight vibration?" Gu Fan was a little confused. It was clear that the earthquake caused landslides and destroyed the roads, but this ancient town seemed to be fine and completely intact.
However, Gu Fan didn't think too much, as long as he could spend tonight peacefully, wait for rescue tomorrow, and then everyone can return safely.
Arriving at the simply furnished room, Gu Fan felt terribly tired and hurriedly fell down on the bed. He really wanted to cover his head and fall asleep, but he didn't know why he still felt uneasy. As soon as he closed his eyes, the strange looks in the residents' eyes appeared.
flashed through his mind one by one.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and soon every house turned on their lights. In this dark mountain wilderness, the ancient town was as beautiful as a luminous pearl.
Lu Yi, who was always energetic and didn't feel tired, started teasing: "Gu Fan, you are too boring. You are alone in the wilderness, how could you miss such an opportunity in vain?"
After hearing this, Gu Fan looked confused: "Opportunity, what opportunity?"
Lu Yi looked anxious: "Think about it, you are holding Lin Xi's hand and walking in the dark forest. At this time, girls are very timid and easily frightened. When frightened, they will attack you."
Hiding in your arms, she hides like this, you hug her like this, and then she feels your heartbeat and body temperature in your arms, and you feel the warm fragrance of her soft jade. Don’t let your feelings heat up too quickly. Maybe it should happen and shouldn’t happen.
Whatever happens will happen.”
"You..." Gu Fan couldn't help laughing and scolding, and threw the pillow directly on Du Yi to stop the other person's nonsense.
At this moment, Gu Fan heard something he shouldn't have heard. Someone knocked on Lin Xi's door opposite, and the voice of his love rival Du Jun came: "Lin Xi, it's me, Du Jun."
Then there was the sound of the door opening. Gu Fan and Lu Yi listened, cursing secretly that this bastard had not given up on Lin Xi yet, and now he had come up with some tricks.
All I heard was Lin Xi's sweet voice: "Du Jun, and you guys, what's the matter?"
Du Jun replied: "That's right. We thought we were already here, so why not go for a walk? There are several mountains here. I also asked about it. There are no wild beasts, poisonous snakes, etc. in the mountains. It is very safe. And I heard that
It’s even more beautiful to climb to the top of the mountain to see the stars and see the brightly lit ancient town at the bottom of the mountain, so I want to invite everyone to climb the mountain together.”
"It's so late to go hiking." Hearing the tone, Lin Xi was a little hesitant, and then a few people along with Du Jun began to encourage: "Don't worry, we will all go together, there are many people taking care of each other, there is nothing to worry about, we have found out the route clearly
Yes, the road up the mountain has long been paved, so it’s very convenient.”
Lin Xi said: "This is really good. Let me ask Gu Fan to see if he is willing."
After hearing this, Gu Fan felt very happy and thought to himself that she was indeed his girlfriend. She thought of doing everything with him. It seemed that this time of hurting her was not in vain.
Du Jun nodded in agreement, and he had no reason to refuse.
Lin Xi soon found Gu Fan and explained his idea of everyone climbing up at night to watch the stars. However, Gu Fan had to be careful for safety reasons. After all, the earthquake had just ended.
Du Jun expressed slight disdain for this, feeling that Gu Fan was being cautious or, to put it harshly, timid.
Du Jun believes that the previous earthquake did not have any impact on this place. Even if there are aftershocks in the future, I believe it will be fine. It is not easy for everyone to travel, so we cannot just go back home. We must leave some good memories.
Many people agreed with Du Jun's point of view and felt that Gu Fan was being too cautious. People in the dance club were basically willing to climb up with Du Jun at night. When they thought of overlooking this ancient town from the high mountains, especially the ancient town with bright lights at night, they said
Maybe you can even see farther scenery.
Seeing a group of people helping Du Junlai target him, Gu Fan didn't take it seriously and said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. If everyone goes together, if there is an aftershock, everyone will be trapped."
Waiting for rescue on the mountain, time is of the essence at that time. People here will not find out the situation until at least daytime, so a few people must be left behind. If we can't wait for a long time, we must take action immediately. We are not small.
Now that you have children, when you go out, you need to distinguish clearly what is play and what is adventure, instead of just thinking about eating, drinking and having fun."
After hearing this, Du Jun's face darkened slightly, and he looked a little ugly. He hated to be silenced most, so the atmosphere became a bit embarrassing.
Lin Xi naturally knew that she should not leave Gu Fan, but deep down she wanted to go, and several female classmates from the dance club were also persuading her to go together, which made Lin Xi very embarrassed.
Although Gu Fan is not on the same page as Du Jun, his love rival, it does not mean that he will force Lin Xi to make a choice that she is not willing to make. Anyway, there are so many people going, and it is difficult for Du Jun to make a move.
So with Gu Fan's consent, Lin Xi went hiking at night with the people from the dance club, but Gu Fan repeatedly warned Lin Xi not to leave the group without authorization and not to be separated from her best friends.
For the first time, Lin Xi felt that Gu Fan cared about her so much, and she felt like she was being loved. However, Lin Xi didn't know that this was the manly side of Gu Fan, because Gu Fan felt that as long as Lin Xi was with her best friend all the time, Du
Jun never gets a chance to be alone.
In fact, Lu Yi also wanted to go, but since Gu Fan didn't go, Lu Yi, who was Gu Fan's best friend, had no choice but to feel aggrieved and couldn't help but sigh: "After all, following Du Jun, you can travel with a bunch of handsome men and beautiful women, how happy it is.
Following you, just us two big men, is very unmotivated."
Gu Fan smiled, but he was still a little worried. He was afraid that there would be another earthquake suddenly, and Lin Xi and the others who had climbed halfway up the mountain would be in danger.
Lu Yi seemed to know what Gu Fan was thinking, and joked: "If you are really worried, you can go with him."
Gu Fan shook his head at this, showing a hint of helplessness. He always believed that it would be wrong to be careful when going out, especially in this situation, he really shouldn't go up the mountain.
Gu Fan is certainly not the kind of selfish person, so when he saw Lin Xi hesitate, he knew what Lin Xi was thinking, so he helped Lin Xi make a choice. Gu Fan fully gave the person he liked a certain amount of support and support.
