"I told you guys not to go, but you insisted on going. Now that you're here, you're still chattering nonstop."

Lu Qiachuan said: "I am doing this to help Thirteen."

Ren Yifan: "Me too. After all, I am friends with Bi Shisan and Gu Yixin, so I have to help."

Lu Qiachuan said: "Didn't you say yesterday that you didn't agree with them meeting? Why did you change your mind so quickly?"

For convenience, the five of us bought connected seats. The high-speed rail is faster, but it also takes several hours.

For a while after getting on the bus, several people were still chatting enthusiastically, but after a long time, they couldn't bear it anymore and started to rest leaning back in their chairs.

Normally, a few hours would pass quickly, but a few hours in the car is really not easy to endure.

The few of them couldn't fall asleep after just a short sleep, but fortunately they were well prepared. Ren Yifan took out two decks of cards and started a four-person game of Landlord.

Some are playing, some are having fun, and time passes quickly.

During the period, the five of them had a quick meal on the high-speed rail, but even so, after getting off the train, they found a restaurant and had a delicious meal.

After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Ren Yifan asked energetically, "Where exactly is Bi Shisan's home?"

"No. 37, Beiwan Street, Nanxing Road, Beitangwan, Senma Village, Luojia Town."

Lin Luoxue glanced at the records on her phone and replied.

Ren Yifan was dumbfounded when he heard it: "Damn, it's so long, who can remember it?"

Lu Qiachuan said: "Let's go, but how are we going to get a taxi for the five of us?"

If they take a taxi, a car can only seat four people at most, and there are five of them, so one car definitely can't accommodate them.

"What else can we do? We can take two taxis and set off early to reach our destination before dark."

"Let's go, let's set off quickly."

…………

Bi Shisan's home is relatively remote. It took Zhou Chen and his friends more than an hour to reach Luojia Town from the station.

"Is this Bi Shisan's hometown, Luojia Town?"

Zhou Chen and his companions walked along the edge of the canal. Looking at the rows of rather dilapidated and ancient buildings, Zhong Bai was very surprised.

"How do we find him?"

"I have Thirteen's phone number. Wait, I'll call him now."

Bi Shisan bought a phone last semester, but few people knew his phone number. As his roommate, Lu Qiachuan naturally knew Bi Shisan's phone number.

The call was connected quickly, and Lu Qiachuan said a lot of things, and finally asked Bi Shisan to pick them up.

Ten minutes later, Bi Shisan found Zhou Chen and the others riding an electric tricycle with a rear bucket.

Bi Shisan was wearing a bamboo hat and coarse linen clothes, and he looked like a farmer who had just returned from farming.

"Thirteen, how did you become like this?"

Lu Qiachuan looked around Bi Shisan and asked in surprise.

Bi Shisan glanced at the few people and said, "I always dress like this at home, so it's convenient for me to work. Why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Lu Qiachuan said, "We came to see you for something very important, but now is not the time to talk about it. It's getting dark. Do you have a hotel in your town? Take us there and let us rest."

Bi Shisan nodded and said, "Then come up, I'll take you to the guesthouse."

Several people looked at each other in confusion at the back of Bi Shisan's tricycle.

Zhong Bai asked: "Let us sit here?"

Bi Shisan replied calmly: "This is the most convenient. There is definitely enough space for the five of you."

What else could they do at this point? Zhou Chen was the first to get on the back of the tricycle, and then he helped Lin Luoxue up. Finally, the five of them squeezed into the small tricycle bed.

Ren Yifan smiled bitterly: "To be honest, this is the first time I ride in this kind of car. If you had a carport, I wouldn't have said anything."

"Okay, stop talking. We don't have to walk. It's good enough to have a place to sit." Lu Qiachuan stopped Ren Yifan from muttering.

Bi Shisan's tricycle was shaking a bit. Zhou Chen hugged Lin Luoxue while looking at the surrounding scenery.

The environment of Luojia Town is good, with water and bridges, giving a feeling of small bridges, flowing water and people living there.

But this is not uncommon. In fact, in China, many towns and rural areas have such scenery. Compared with the prosperity and noise of the city, the countryside seems to be much quieter. When you come here, it seems that the fast pace of the city is gone, which makes people feel inexplicably relaxed.

Lin Luoxue was also looking around, and said with emotion: "This place looks pretty good."

Lu Qiachuan echoed in a very artistic way: "Yes, the air here feels very fresh."

Ren Yifan shook his head and said, "It's just a little too far away. We took a long detour along the way. Bi Shisan, do you have to go to school two or three days in advance every time?"

Bi Shisan, who was riding a bicycle, said without turning his head, "Almost. I need to go to the train station first, and then take the train to school. It will take nearly 30 hours just to take the train, but I'm used to it."

"Headache, headache."

When Ren Yifan heard this number, his scalp went numb.

Seven or eight minutes later, the tricycle stopped and everyone looked at the blue plaque in front of them with the words "Thirteenth Guesthouse" in astonishment.

"Shh!"

Several people turned their eyes to Bi Shisan at the same time, and Lu Qiachuan asked cautiously: "Shisan, is this your family's guesthouse?"

"Not really."

Bi Shisan shook his head in denial, then said, "I named this store, I chose the opening date, I cut the ribbon, and the people I bring in can get a 20% discount."

Lin Luoxue looked at him suspiciously: "You can get kickbacks, right?"

Bi Shisan was slightly surprised, but not embarrassed, and told the truth: "Yes, 20 yuan per person per day, how many days do you want to stay?"

Zhou Chen said: "One day, we will leave tomorrow."

"Leaving tomorrow?"

Bi Shisan was surprised. Lu Qiachuan hadn't told him the purpose of their visit, so he thought Zhou Chen and his friends were here for sightseeing. Would they only stay for one day?

"Yes, not only are we leaving, you will be leaving with us."

Zhou Chen’s words made Bi Shisan even more confused.

"why?"

Zhou Chen did not explain immediately, but said: "I will tell you after we settle down and have dinner. Come in first."

Seeing that Zhou Chen did not answer, Bi Shisan did not get too entangled and took them into the guesthouse.

In the end, three rooms were booked in total, one for Zhou Chen and Lin Luoxue, one for Lu Qiachuan and Ren Yifan, and one for Zhong Bai alone.

In the evening, Zhou Chen and his friends had dinner at Bi Shisan's home. Bi Shisan's home was a small farmyard. There was a field next to the house where some vegetables were planted.

Dinner was simple, just a few plates of vegetables, and other than that, there were some braised food that Ren Yifan and Lu Qiachuan bought in town on their tricycles.

"Bi Shisan, do you eat so lightly every day at home?"

Seeing that there were only vegetables on the table besides the meat he bought, Ren Yifan didn't quite understand. He knew that Bi Shisan's conditions were not good, but no matter how poor his conditions were, he couldn't eat vegetables and radishes every day.

Bi Shisan said: "The ones grown at home are safe and pollution-free. Eating meat can easily cause high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high cholesterol."

Ren Yifan just said it casually, and after hearing Bi Shisan's explanation, he didn't say anything more. However, he didn't show any disgust at all, and just ate the vegetables made by Bi Shisan.

"It's really not easy to eat green and pollution-free vegetables these days. I want to try them and see if there is any difference between them and those sold in supermarkets."

After taking a few bites, he asked doubtfully, "It seems to be a little different. Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lu, did you taste it?"

Lu Qiachuan shook his head. He really couldn't tell much difference.

Zhou Chen said: "It's different."

Although he is not a gourmet, he has been eating and drinking for two or three hundred years, and his sense of taste is much stronger than Ren Yifan and others.

Bi Shisan said seriously: "Of course it's different. The vegetables you usually eat are mostly sprayed with pesticides, while the vegetables I grow myself are all from the feces I pick, which are green and pollution-free. Of course, the appetite is different."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone at the table changed, especially Lu Qiachuan, who was picking up food. His hands shook so much that he couldn't even hold the chopsticks, and they fell on the table.

"Thirteen, we are eating, can you please be more tactful in your words?"

Zhong Bai and Lin Luoxue had already put down their bowls and chopsticks. Bi Shisan's words had completely made them lose their appetite.

The only one who didn't react was Zhou Chen. He continued to eat his vegetables calmly and advised: "Thirteen is telling the truth. What's the big deal? In the past, when there were no pesticides, vegetables were grown like this. Manure water is indeed green and pollution-free."

"vomit."

Zhong Bai couldn't hold it back, retched, stomped his feet and shouted: "Zhou Chen, you did it on purpose, can you stop talking about such things while eating?"

Looking at the expressions of Zhong Bai, Lu Qiachuan and others, Zhou Chen laughed.

These people have never suffered hardship, so just saying one word is not enough. You have to know that in the past, it was very normal for people to eat next to the toilet.

Lin Luoxue glared at Zhou Chen. She also lost her appetite. Then she winked at Lu Qiachuan.

Among the five of them, Lu Qiachuan lives in the same dormitory with Bi Shisan and they have the best relationship, so it is best for Lu Qiachuan to speak some words.

Lu Qiachuan received Lin Luoxue's signal and nodded slightly.

"Thirteen, actually, we came to you this time because we have something to tell you."

"I said you must be in trouble."

Bi Shisan had an expression that I had already guessed: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lu Qiachuan groaned and said, "Yes, yes, uh."

After hesitating for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and told the truth: "It's about Gu Yixin."

Bi Shisan, who was originally nonchalant, suddenly changed his expression when he heard that it was about Gu Yixin.

"What happened to Gu Yixin? Is she okay? Where is she now and how is she?"

When Lu Qiachuan saw that he had misunderstood, he quickly explained: "No, Gu Yixin is fine, you're overthinking it."

Hearing that Gu Yixin was fine, Bi Shisan felt relieved and slowly calmed down.

"What happened to Gu Yixin?"

"Gu Yixin is going abroad."

"Going abroad, Gu Yixin wants to travel abroad? Unfortunately, I can't accompany her."

Bi Shisan's face was full of regret. He wanted to pursue Gu Yixin, but he also knew that his current conditions were very poor, so he wanted to seize the time to make money during the summer vacation.

Lu Qiachuan said again: "Gu Yixin is not traveling abroad, but going to America to study, and his family will move to America and will never come back."

Bi Shisan, whose look of regret had not yet disappeared, froze in an instant when he heard Lu Qiachuan's words, and he was stunned.

Seeing that Bi Shisan's expression was not right, Lu Qiachuan shouted a few times hurriedly.

"Thirteen, Thirteen, are you listening to me?"

But Bi Shisan seemed not to hear anything and did not react at all until Lu Qiachuan pushed him, then he came to his senses.

He grabbed Lu Qiachuan's hand and asked anxiously: "Lu Qiachuan, is what you said true? Is it true?"

Lu Qiachuan said: "It's true, Gu Yixin is going to drop out of school and go back to America to learn languages ​​after the summer vacation, so she is not planning to meet us again."

"This can't be true. How could this be possible? She was fine before the holiday. She never said she was going abroad. How could it be so sudden?"

Bi Shisan couldn't accept this and shook his head vigorously, as if saying this could change everything.

Seeing that Bi Shisan couldn't accept it, Zhou Chen said, "Shisan, what Lu Qiachuan said is true. Gu Yixin is really going abroad, and she doesn't really want to see us classmates again. Although I don't know what she thinks, if you are unwilling to part like this, we can help you."

Bi Shisan glanced at Zhou Chen and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I can't keep Gu Yixin, but if it's you, you can give it a try."

"How to try?" Bi Shisan asked impatiently.

"We came here this time to ask you, if you want to see Gu Yixin and want to stop her, we can help you and take you to see Gu Yixin, but whether you can convince her and her family depends on your own ability. Are you willing to give it a try?"

As soon as Zhou Chen finished speaking, Bi Shisan stood up suddenly and said loudly: "I am willing, take me there, take me to see her, I must see her, go now."

"Okay, now that you've made your decision, we'll help you, Luo Xue. We can book the tickets now and we'll leave tomorrow. Is that ok, Thirteen?"

"no problem."

"In that case, you should rest well tonight. We will set off tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to see Gu Yixin the day after tomorrow."

The meal ended hastily, and Zhou Chen and the other four returned to the guesthouse. Only Bi Shisan stayed at home, staring blankly.

On the way back, Lu Qiachuan asked worriedly, "Is it really okay for us to just take Thirteen there like this?"
