"More evil than me?" Ge Meili joked.

"Even more evil than you!" Lu Linlin said seriously.

While the two were still talking, Zhou Xiaozhou, who had just answered the call, was checking his phone, but found nothing. It seemed that the phone only had a signal that could handle this call.

Zhou Xiaozhou was no longer surprised. He just had to wait and see. There would always be news.

Moreover, Zhou Xiaozhou also roughly figured out a pattern, which is that he could answer or make phone calls at noon every day.

She didn't explain anything to the two children. When she returned to the Wu family's yard, she just said that she would not be home for dinner, and then hurried to town on her motorcycle.

However, before leaving, he still tricked them into believing that they should not tell anyone and that he would bring them some delicious food when he returned.

The tunnel took her almost half a day to walk from Lai'an Village when she first came, but it only took her twenty minutes on a scooter, and only ten minutes to get to the town from halfway.

In other words, Zhou Xiaozhou had plenty of time to have lunch in town.

Just as she finished the last sip of the tomato and egg drop soup that came with the restaurant, Ge Meili's phone call came in.

"Zhou Xiaozhou, where are you going?"

"Here at the station, where are you, little Ge'er?"

"We just entered the town. The road was full of twists and turns."

“Kuching has many mountains. Didn’t Lu Linlin always say that she is a beautiful mountain girl?”

"I had forgotten that."

"What car do you drive? What color is it?"

"White Volkswagen. License plate number: GB4681"

"Yeah! I saw you, I waved!" Zhou Xiaozhou hung up the phone, walked out of the restaurant, and got into Ge Meili's car parked on the side of the road.

"Drive forward, there is a parking space over there." Pointing at the road, they quickly arrived at their destination.

Zhou Xiaozhou took Ge Meili to the hotel room she had booked earlier.

"Take a break first. I need to go to the bathroom. I can't hold it anymore."

"Why are you living here? Don't you live in the mountains?"

While Zhou Xiaozhou was in the toilet, Xiao Ge was still chatting with her.

"Yes, it's on the mountain, but it's a little troublesome to go up the mountain, so I'll book a room here first, so I'll have a place to stay when I come down the mountain. It's just like when you go hiking, you still have to explore the road first and have a place to stay."

After Zhou Xiaozhou recovered, he came out of the toilet and continued, "I will rent a house in town when I get to know the mountain well. The situation is still unclear, and I am ready to run away at any time."

"What are you doing? You're acting like a spy. What's the point? If that place is really as dangerous as you say, why are you still staying there? Why don't you retreat quickly?"

"I'm just curious. You know, I'm not a very curious person, but once I'm curious, I'll get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, I might not be able to eat or sleep well. I'm going crazy from wondering about it."

"Yes, it's you." Xiao Ge nodded. This was the Zhou Xiaozhou she knew.

"What do you say now, go up the mountain?"

"Wait a minute, my phone isn't charged yet."

Ge Meili wondered if she had heard wrongly. She thought Zhou Xiaozhou had at least come back to get some clothes to change into or something? In the end, this was it?

"Zhou Xiaozhou, don't tell me that you booked a room here just to charge your phone?"

"Well, there's no electricity on the mountain! I have to fully charge it every time I come down. It's not just charging, sometimes I can take a shower, wash my hair, etc. It's convenient to have a place of my own."

"Are you planning to settle down here, sister?"

"You can consider it! Hey, how about I trick Lao Zhou into buying me a house here?"

"Zhou Xiaozhou, you..."

Ge Meili didn't know what to say.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when the two left. The front desk clerk stopped Zhou Xiaozhou and asked her when she would check out. Zhou Xiaozhou had not yet decided, but she would not check out today or tomorrow anyway.

And it is possible that she and Xiao Ge will come back to stay tonight.

Next came another round of shopping. Zhou Xiaozhou wanted to buy a little of everything he saw, especially food that was not available on the mountain.

This made Xiao Ge think that they were not going up the mountain to investigate the environment and develop new routes, but were going to set up camp in the deep mountains and forests, and they had to get some supplies before going.

The last stop was still the small supermarket in the town. Zhou Xiaozhou planned to buy some more rice, mainly because the people in the Wu family tasted so delicious that Zhou Xiaozhou felt a little sorry for them.

She simply asked the boss to bring her a 50-kilogram bag of rice and put it on the pedal of the scooter.

Something unexpected happened when checking out; Zhou Xiaozhou's credit card was over the limit.

Yes, she has been shopping a lot these days, and Lao Zhou didn't replenish her backup funds in time, causing her to keep swiping her credit card.

Zhou Xiaozhou decided that she would go and cry poor to her biggest financial sponsor, the person in charge of the family.

Xiao Ge couldn't stand it any longer: "Zhou Xiaozhou, you can do it! You are penniless and have nothing left. Are you planning to stay in the mountains and never come back by buying so much rice? Are you going to fight to the end? Are you breaking up with me? Do you think you are a country girl?"

Zhou Xiaozhou was complaining to Ms. Liu, but he didn't quite hear the sarcasm in her words.

"I asked my mother to transfer money to me. I will transfer the money you paid for to me later!"

Then she patted her buttocks and said, "Come on, little brother, I will show you the world."

Xiao Ge didn't understand why Zhou Xiaozhou didn't drive his own car to the village, but insisted on driving such a ridiculous little gas thief. She had to carry Zhou Xiaozhou's bags with both hands.

She even had the illusion that Zhou Xiaozhou came here just to purchase goods, and she was just a by-product.

Congratulations, half of the truth has been revealed. The other half is what Zhou Xiaozhou is verifying at this moment, whether no one can see the tunnel except herself.

Zhou Xiaozhou made a rule for himself to fill up the gas tank before leaving town.

But when refueling, Zhou Xiaozhou's cargo motorcycle was mercilessly ridiculed.

In fact, Zhou Xiaozhou was being watched the entire time she was riding the motorcycle. The main reason was that the 50 kilograms of rice took up quite a lot of space, and there was no place for Zhou Xiaozhou to rest her feet on the pedals, so she crossed her feet over the rice bag.

The staff at the gas station told her that it might not be okay to drive a motorcycle on a mountain road like this, and that the law has been tightened recently. If you ride a motorcycle without a helmet and carry passengers or other goods, you will be fined and have points deducted.

Zhou Xiaozhou was shocked. It seemed that she, a law-abiding person, had been walking on the edge of the law for quite some time!

They were almost halfway up the mountain, and Zhou Xiaozhou stopped the motorcycle before turning. She wanted to trick Xiao Ge into getting off the motorcycle and walking a little further, saying that she was too heavy and the motorcycle couldn't go uphill.
