C302

During this trip to Nine Links Mountain, Shi Lei did not bring anyone else with him.

According to the past, he would need to bring a few more people with him in order to be able to take care of this kind of adventure in the future.

But this time, Shi Lei was clear of the dangers involved, and still chose to head there alone.

Because this time, Shi Lei chose to rest for another thirty hours or so, perhaps because his destination was rather far away and it was not the golden age for any sort of tourism, he could not find any mysterious people on the train.

Inside Shi Lei's soft sleeping carriage, he was the only person with four beds. Even though it felt a little uncomfortable, it was still quite comfortable.

That morning, Shi Lei was awoken by the noise coming from outside the train after it stopped. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and just as he wanted to see what was happening outside, the private box's door was suddenly opened by someone.

The one who walked in was a female student with a big backpack on her back.

"Hello, are you a passenger here too?"

Seemingly having not expected that someone else would exist, the female student was initially stunned. Only after a period of time did she come to her senses.

The woman who had suddenly appeared did not look bad. Although she did not have a devastatingly beautiful appearance, she was still not an ugly sight to behold.

"Yeah, about that, let me help you put it away."

It was rare to see someone like this, so Shi Lei naturally had to take the initiative and show off his gentleman attitude.

"No need, no need. The bag looks quite heavy, but it actually doesn't have much."

The girl smiled and casually placed her backpack on the luggage rack.

Not long after they sat down, the train started to move. The two of them were a little embarrassed, so Shi Lei took out some snacks from his bag and placed it on the table, smiling as he asked, "Do you want to eat?"

"No need."

The girl was a little embarrassed as she waved her hand.

It was another awkward few minutes, but at this time, Shi Lei finally found some content to speak about.

"I still don't know you. My name is Shi Kuan, and I came over from Jiangling."

Even though he was familiar with some people when he was away, he still needed to be vigilant.

"Hua Rou, from here."

Local?

Shi Lei started to carefully size up Hua Rou's appearance. He didn't know if it was because of the dim light in the carriage, but it didn't look very white and clean, as if he was a person who had walked out of a large mountain. His healthy skin color made Hua Rou look even more powerful.

"What is this place?"

Just as Shi Lei woke up, he didn't hear the name of the place. He wanted to raise his head to take a look, but he realized that he had already missed the station's signboard.

"Flower Well Village."

Hua Rou laughed and said, pointing to the big mountains outside: "I walked out from here, almost all of us here have the surname Hua, so everyone here knows each other."

"Where are you going this time?"

Shi Lei asked inadvertently, but he did not expect that after he finished asking this question, the expression on his face turned strange.

"Actually, I'm not too sure either. It's just the Four Seas. I've only just become an adult this year and I want to go out for a walk."

After Hua Rou finished speaking, she did not ask anymore questions. He could see the unease on the other party's face, as she would be staying in the carriage for a long time anyway, so there was no need to find fault.

The train continued to move in the direction of the Nine Links Mountain. After Hua Jing Village, no one continued to board the train, let alone come to Shi Lei's private room.

The two of them became more and more familiar with each other. After they awkwardly chatted for a while, they started to talk a lot more.

The train was about to reach its destination. There was still about an hour left, so Shi Lei prepared to pack up and start preparing to get off the train.

But he noticed that Hua Rou was also packing up.

"Hua Rou, that's not right. Is there something you're hiding from me? No matter where you go, it doesn't matter. You cleaned up very quickly."

Shi Lei laughed loudly.

, who knew Shi Lei's personality, chuckled, and then said: "Actually, it's not to deceive you either, it's just because this matter hasn't been decided for a while."

"Do you know anything about Nine Links Mountain?"

Shi Lei took the initiative to say it, and said while looking at Hua Rou: "I think you should know."

Hua Rou's face immediately changed.

"Could it be that we have the same goal?"

Okay.

Only now did Shi Lei realize that he had originally thought that this meeting with Hua Rou was a very happy chance encounter, but he hadn't thought that it would actually be for the same purpose.

"The world is really small. There aren't many people in the entire carriage. To think that we spent more than a day in the same carriage. How regretful."

Shi Lei laughed.

When Hua Rou heard this, she did not plan to pack anything. She looked straight at Shi Lei and said, "Let's discuss something."

Hua Rou being so direct had somewhat exceeded Shi Lei's expectations. Thus, she nodded and said, "No problem, how do you want to make the deal?"

In fact, before both sides had revealed their intentions and identities, the two of them had chatted quite a bit. They had just met by chance, and he had known each other from home. This had already added a lot of joy to the boring journey.

"I know that you came here for that《 Acupuncture Jia Yi Classic》 book; since we don't have any teammates, why don't we work together? After we get this book, you and I can read it together and learn it together. Isn't that a better choice?"

A win-win situation was naturally the best outcome.

"A promise?"

"There is no turning back!"

Hua Rou's performance was very straightforward.

It was hard to say what was going on inside Nine Links Mountain. Even the villagers who lived within Nine Links Mountain might not know.

"This time, the appearance of《 Acupuncture Jia Yi Classic》 seems to have changed the terrain of Nine Links Mountain a lot. From what I know, there may be a lot of changes in Nine Links Mountain. We must pay more attention when the time comes."

"You know quite a lot."

Shi Lei said in admiration.

"Shi Kuan, we are really on good terms. Seeing how weak you are, follow me this time. As long as you don't do anything to betray us, I guarantee that we will be able to return safely."

Hua Rou had a complacent smile on her face, as if showing this in front of Shi Lei was something to be proud of.

"Good!" "Then I'll have to rely on Miss Hua this time."

Since it was a favor to him, Shi Lei would naturally not say anything bad. He looked at Hua Rou and said with a smile.

"No, don't call me Miss Hua, call me Master Hua!"

Hua Rou said with a grin.
