Chapter 289 Invitation 1
Lily wanted to go too, but she still had to put on clothes in this cold weather.
Despite the chill running down my spine, I got dressed and followed them out.
"Where do we go now? Why are there so many bugs here all of a sudden?"
Qi Ge was completely baffled and couldn't understand why so many insects were appearing.
"Let's go check on Wei Guang and the other two first," Qi Ge suggested, and then the two went downstairs.
After the two went downstairs, Linlin followed them out and went downstairs as well.
He kept complaining, "Brother Qi, we paid ten thousand yuan for this room. For this kind of environment, we must ask the boss for an explanation."
Also, let's head back at dawn. There are already so many insects on the outskirts; who knows how many more there will be once we're in the mountains.”
Linlin is truly terrified of the bugs and has already given up.
If she hadn't known the mountain path leading out was difficult, she probably wouldn't have asked to leave tomorrow.
Linlin followed behind, complaining, and soon arrived at Wei Guang's room.
They knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
"What are you doing? Don't disturb the guests' rest in the middle of the night."
Just as Qi Ge was knocking on the door in confusion, a voice came from behind them.
Old Yan had already heard the commotion behind him, so he wasn't bothered.
However, Linlin, who was standing behind, was startled by the sudden sound.
It's the middle of the night, and anyone would be scared if someone suddenly spoke behind you.
When she turned around, she saw the Miao girl who was greeting them at the front desk.
Upon seeing her, Linlin poured out her grievances and complained:
"What's wrong with your store? There are so many bugs in the room. Don't you usually check for bugs?"
"Is this place for people or for insects?" Linlin was furious. Thinking about what she had experienced today, she realized that she had seen more insects in her entire life than she had seen today.
Not to mention that she had several close encounters with insects today, directly crossing her bottom line.
"I'm sorry, this place is remote, with lots of trees and bushes around, so it's normal to have a lot of insects." Miao Duo brushed off her accusation lightly.
"Boss, my friend is knocking on the door but there's no response. Could something have happened? Please open the door."
Qi Ge also found it a bit strange. Logically speaking, he had knocked on the door so hard, yet Wei Guang and Bai Qiu hadn't made a sound.
"What could possibly happen if you stay here? I think you're overthinking it."
Who's out here knocking on the door in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?
Miao Duo didn't move. She stood alone in the darkness, blending into it, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.
Her words made Lao Yan and Qi Ge realize that something was wrong.
Just as Lao Yan was about to force his way in, the door was opened from the inside.
Wei Guang, still half asleep, came to open the door. He was a bit grumpy when he woke up, but when he heard the voice and realized it was Brother Qi, he could only suppress his displeasure.
When he opened the door, he saw the three people and the boss at the front desk. He asked in confusion.
"Brother Qi, is there something you need from me in the middle of the night?"
Wei Guang genuinely had no idea what had happened and looked completely puzzled.
Lao Yan and Qi Ge both looked into the house but found no trace of insects.
"We knocked on the door for so long, why did it take you so long to open it?"
Old Yan asked.
"Oh, did you knock on the door for a long time? Maybe I was sleeping too soundly and didn't hear it."
Wei Guang was also confused about the situation, only thinking that he had fallen asleep because he was too tired from driving today.
"Is there anything wrong with your body?" Old Yan asked again.
Upon hearing his question, Wei Guang shook his head in confusion.
At this moment, Bai Qiu, who had finished dressing, also came over, and it seemed that she was indeed alright.
"Brother Qi, why did you come at this time? Did something happen? If there's anything I can do to help, I definitely will." Bai Qiu said with a sweet smile.
Upon hearing Bai Qiu's words, Linlin's attention was completely focused on her.
"What can you do to help? You didn't even hear me knocking. What can I expect from you?"
"I'm sorry, Brother Qi, Sister Linlin, I was probably too tired and fell asleep. Please don't blame me, okay?"
Bai Qiu spoke pitifully, as if she had suffered some injustice.
"Okay, this has nothing to do with you."
"What should we do now, Lao Yan?" Brother Qi didn't want to be standing here in the middle of the night.
He spent the whole day traveling and worked overtime for several hours tonight. He has to go to Miaoling Mountain tomorrow. Even though he is in good physical condition, he doesn't want to stand here anymore.
"Boss, could you give us two more rooms?"
"Okay, come with me."
Early in the morning, Tian Zhenzhen was awakened by the noise outside the door.
Duan Hong and his group started getting busy early in the morning.
With more people around, the noise naturally gets louder.
When Xiao Mei saw that Tian Zhenzhen had woken up, she had already prepared her toiletries and breakfast.
"Boss, there are a lot of people outside right now, so I've prepared everything for you."
"Just have this for breakfast, I'll cook you something nice when we get back."
Tian Zhenzhen looked over and was amazed to find that even with a simple meal, there was still rice porridge, steamed buns, and eggs.
After breakfast, Tian Zhenzhen took the two of them out.
It was just dawn, and not only them, but also Qi Ge and the others who were woken up yesterday were up and getting ready.
However, these people were clearly the slowest.
When Tian Zhenzhen walked out of the guesthouse, the other 36 people were also gathering.
"Everyone is here and ready, right? Now let's go to Miaoling Mountain to find out what's going on."
After breakfast, Duan Hong began organizing people to gather.
Remembering the content of yesterday's video, Tian Zhenzhen still stepped forward and tried to persuade her.
"I advise you not to go; it's not safe in the Miao Mountains."
Everyone was in high spirits. They had traveled such a long way through the mountains and were already at the foot of the mountain. How could they possibly listen to Tian Zhenzhen?
"Unsafe? What could be unsafe? There are so many of us, and I've even prepared crossbows. My arrows never miss."
The one who spoke was a girl in her early twenties with wheat-colored skin.
She had her hair tied in a ponytail and was wearing a military green windbreaker, looking very capable.
She looked at Tian Zhenzhen with disdain, seeing her red lips and white teeth, and asked, "What are you doing here if you're afraid of getting tired or in danger?"
They only saw her as an internet celebrity trying to gain traffic online.
Are you scared? If you are, you can come with us.
Tian Zhenzhen's appearance is still very attractive, and these 30-plus people are all relatively young.
That's true. If someone has a family and a job, who would run away just because they watched a video?
"Yes, miss, have you been to Miaoling Mountain before? Otherwise, how do you know it's not safe inside?"
It's normal to find some animals in this undeveloped, primeval forest, but we've taken plenty of precautions and won't get hurt.
Duan Hong came over and asked, although his tone was very kind.
Tian Zhenzhen has a very strong sense of perception and noticed the probing under his kind tone.
Duan Hong naturally knew there was danger in the Miaoling Mountains, but he didn't know what Tian Zhenzhen knew or if she was just exaggerating.
When Tian Zhenzhen arrived, she realized that this person clearly had other purposes in mind, leading this group of people into the Miaoling Mountains.
She was quite curious about what they were up to, and answered directly:
"None of the three of us have much mountain climbing experience, otherwise we could come with you into the mountains."
“Okay, my name is Liu Xu. I’m an expert at mountain climbing. I also know a lot about plants. I can teach you how to climb mountains in the most energy-efficient way, and I can also take care of you along the way.”
Liu Xu is the one who just invited Tian Zhenzhen to join the team.
He was a slightly chubby man, the kind of person who looked very fortunate.
He was stunned by Tian Zhenzhen's beauty when he saw her yesterday.
He never expected to have such a good opportunity to strike up a conversation today. He's an extroverted person by nature, so no matter what, it's always good to get to know this beautiful woman first.
No one objected to Tian Zhenzhen and the other two joining the team.
They were just a temporary team, so it didn't matter if there were a few more or fewer people in the team.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you on the road, nothing will happen." Liu Xu smiled and patted his chest to assure Tian Zhenzhen.
