paradox

The luggage and keys need to be carried by two people. "Physical work" Brother Han is doing his best. Although I don't want to be alone with him, even if it is to reduce the chance of Xiaomo being alone with him, I will come to pick up the luggage. deal.

"Tong Xin, you need to show your number plate when picking up your luggage. You should prepare it first, so as not to be in a hurry at the end." Han Lin and I walked in the antique corridor one after the other. I was still distracted when I heard it. Look for the number plate and those receipts.

The corridors are surrounded by samples of hot springs, and some have more than a dozen hot spring eggs inside.I know very well that once those paper bills fall into it, they are no different from being thrown into the water, but when I subconsciously gathered up the bills, one of the number plates slipped through my hands.

Idle's right hand subconsciously fished for it, but missed and hit someone.

"Hiss, I'm sorry!"

"...fine"

She got up and planned to return the dropped number plate to me, but luckily she couldn't hear the angry tone.But it's no wonder, in such a beautiful place, it's too unpleasant to be angry.

"Snapped!"

When I reached out to pick up the number plate, the thing slipped off again, and the woman's expression was also very strange, as if she suddenly saw something that shouldn't exist.My heart also tightened instantly, why did I have a feeling of déjà vu?

"We used to..." The question hesitated, "We met before" would definitely be regarded as an unpopular strike-up.

"What's wrong?" Han Lin, who was walking in front, also turned back at this time and helped us pick up the embarrassing number plate.

"Miss Su!" Han Lin was also surprised when he saw her. At this time, she also returned to her usual expression, "What a coincidence, Mr. Han."

"It was originally agreed to meet at Luoshui Mountain, but I didn't expect to meet here. Did Tong Xin get into trouble again?" Han Lin patted my shoulder. At this time, I was still a little confused.

"No, no, I was distracted and accidentally bumped into Tong, um~ Miss Tong."

……

The brain struggled to retrieve the identity of the person in front of it, and only then did it have a vague impression.It turned out to be the companion of this mountaineering trip——Su Mohan, who is also the new "little girl" that Xiao Mo said.It looks like he should be a few years younger than me, but his face is a bit "deep", and his gestures exude a steady atmosphere.

"Let's go pick up the luggage first, see you later." Han Lin has always been warm to others, and had a good chat with Su Mohan, but he always felt that this person had something on his mind, but he tried his best to hide it.

"Well, goodbye." Su Mohan bowed his head politely to bid farewell to Han Lin, and nodded to me with a smile.

"Again, goodbye..." Holding the number plate, I tried to bend my hand into an arc to say goodbye to her.Seemingly amused by my embarrassment, she covered her lips and coughed lightly to resolve the embarrassment, then waved goodbye to us before leaving.

Looking at her back that was drifting away, my heart felt empty. Where did this feeling of familiarity and strangeness come from?I have no way of knowing.

Generally speaking, the weather is getting warmer in May, and the hot springs can only be fulfilled when the temperature is slightly colder. But for those of us who work with our lives every day, hot springs are like heaven at any time.

Xiaomo originally prepared two sets of swimsuits, maybe she should be more reserved in front of the opposite sex, and the more sexy one is reserved for the small bath in the room at night, alas!The scenery here is unique.

After Han Lin took off his clothes, he was not empty at all. I really don't know how a man like him who runs around the company all day can build up his abs.

When Han Lin took Xiaomo into the medicinal bath, I also found a reason to stay outside.After all, that scene was a public execution for me.

"Tongtong!"

Su Mohan's voice came from the hall. I followed the sound and ran into her sitting on the soft step. As for the so-called work before, it should be the contents of the laptop on the table.

"It's rare to be busy on vacation." I smiled at her.

"Yes! It's rare to have a vacation." Su Mohan shrugged helplessly, and brought another soft couch from the side to signal me to sit down.

"It's not easy for everyone to make a living!" I was not polite to her, and sat on it directly.But I was stung by a foreign object in my pocket, I reached in and fumbled, it was easy.Found the culprit.

"Is this a room card?" I held it and looked around, and it seemed to be the room card of Xiaomo's apartment, with the name of the apartment on it.

"This kind of key card should be the universal key card of the apartment!" Su Mohan also leaned over to look at it, "You can see that the texture should not be fake, but there is no room number on it, so it is ruled out as the property of the tenant. General hotel managers Or the supervisors will be equipped with a room card similar to the police to prevent emergencies, I guess, this should be the kind." She replied while watching my reaction.

The analysis makes sense, but why is the universal key card of Xiaomo's apartment on me?When did I get this thing...

Following the train of thought, I went back to the night two days ago. After taking a shower, I took out something from the table to look at. A card was placed inside, and there were several A4 papers. The content on it... ... Hiss~ I shook my head, no, I can't remember.

"Maybe I took it by mistake. I'll ask later." I laughed and laughed, trying to get away with it.

"Really? But such a high-end hotel won't make such a dangerous mistake." Su Mohan seemed to have a strong curiosity about this question.

"Hey, I feel like a suspect when you say that." I removed the key card from her sight, turned sideways and pointed to her necklace. "This necklace of yours is very unique." There is a pendant similar to a totem hanging on the ocher red string, yellow and brown, and it turns out to be a cat that is ready to go - cat?

"Well~ my 23 exes said so, and I think so too." She no longer chased after her, proudly holding the kitten-shaped necklace in her palm.

"23rd, right?" I swallowed.

"Why, do you want to be the 24th?" Su Mohan smiled maliciously.

"No, no, I can't match the little girl now." He said little girl, but in fact, my understanding of her was only limited to her name.

"24 years old, I should be younger than you." She raised her eyebrows and answered the doubts in my heart. There is only a difference of two years, and the traces of time have clearly divided us into different camps.

"When we met before, I didn't have time to ask, why did you come here early?" Su Mohan started to talk to me during the break of work.

"A few days ago, the work was too intense, so Xiaomo temporarily changed the plan and came to the hot spring tour in advance. I didn't expect to run into you here."

"So it's like this~" Su Mohan nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that something like fate can't be stopped!"

"Yeah!" I sighed, my fate was so bad...

A page suddenly popped up on the desktop, with small advertisements that are not uncommon.I was about to close it, but Su Mohan suddenly pressed my hand, controlled the mouse and clicked on one of the messages.

A female college student was killed in a car accident at a crossroad in ** City, and the driver who caused the accident is still being hunted down.

It's a pity to lose a young and fresh life, I feel with emotion.Su Mohan, however, seemed to be dazed, staring at the message without moving, "How could it be..."

She kept repeating this sentence until the screen went off.Does she know this man?But her expression was only surprised, not sad.

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Su Mohan quickly withdrew his expression, "Sister Mo won't be in a hurry if I haven't gone in for such a long time?"

Having said that, I am more worried about Su Mohan's situation now. I don't know what the news just now means to her. All I can do now is stay by her side.

Because he didn't keep the appointment, he was scolded by Xiaomo for half an hour at night.

She got what she wanted and put on the swimsuit she liked, but she was always calm and refused to wear it out. The only people who can enjoy this kind of scenery are me and Su Mohan who came in by mistake.

Xiao Mo could be regarded as reasonable, and simply forgave him.

Although the three-day hot spring trip was just the beginning of the "adventure" and only two-thirds of the people were present, it was extremely exciting, and now I feel tired thinking about it.

People who love to travel say that there is heaven above, and rain and ink below.And this Yumo County is also one of our destinations, located inside Luoshui Mountain.Yumo is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Since ancient times, there is only one post road leading to the outside world. If you want to enter, you have to walk on two legs. So it still retains the customs of the time, and there are no foreign tourists flocking to it.

"Since it's finally a vacation, don't go on foot like this. Take a mule to drive on a flat road." Xiaomo had already made up his mind, and those old men also helped us put our luggage and get ready on the back of a mule.

The two friends who had made an appointment before were waiting to meet us at the inn in Xidang early.

The two have bronze skin, one of them is very enthusiastic, chatting with Han Lin as soon as they meet, the other is relatively shy, but will still intervene in the conversation between the two of them.Looking at their equipment, you can tell that they often travel.

"We came here once before, who knew it was the rainy season, and the mountain road was not easy to walk, and we were forced to turn back after halfway on foot. This time, it was also to fulfill the thoughts we left before." That cheerful person The guy I live in is Liu Liangwang, who is the person in charge of a small clothing company, but he will definitely spend one-sixth of his time every year traveling, so he is considered a senior lover.

The other is Lei Hang, who has played with Liu Liangwang since childhood, and is a small employee of the company. This time, he accompanied Liu Liangwang on vacation.

After walking from Xidang to Pass, we stopped riding mules. Brother Liu said that the road is downhill from Pass, and it would be dangerous to bring a mount.

I passed a few tea shops in the middle, took a short break and continued on my way.Although there are also small shops, it is not uncommon for the things sold there to start at a low price. Fortunately, the preparations were sufficient before, and there is no "slaughter" in this place.

Since you are taking the lazy route, you can only see the scenery around the post road, but it is also very good to be able to admire the magic of nature.

Counting the rest time, after six hours of trekking, we finally arrived at the first stop, Yumo.

A mountain stream from above divides Yumo into upper and lower villages, and we are now in Upper Yumo Village.There are many inns here, many of which are also run by the locals themselves.After all, the electricity was only connected to here not long ago, and the accommodation conditions can be imagined.They are all priced by bed, and nothing exists in a single room.

"Ah~um~" I stretched my arms and yawned to express my dissatisfaction slightly.

"The old man is tired so soon?" Su Mohan always said unforgivingly.

"Can you two be more honest? You are so energetic and take turns carrying luggage tomorrow!" Xiaomo put the phone back into the backpack after switching it to power-saving mode.The signal in the mountains is not good, and there is only a little signal in clear weather.

"I feel more energetic when I come here, and I didn't expect to meet people traveling with a group here." I smiled and greeted a few people I met on the road.

Although it is not a single room, people still consciously live in separate areas. Because of the shelter from the wind, we are all women here.

"Well, although tomorrow's itinerary is different, the itinerary to Quenhu Lake the day after tomorrow is the same. We can go together." Xiao Mo threw me a high-calorie snack in the bag.

"Wendi, isn't she with us?" I tore open the package and took a bite. The villagers here are very enthusiastic, and the bacon is very generous, but I'm used to the feasting and feasting in the city, so I don't like such down-to-earth food. I really can't get used to it all at once.

"They are going downstream to see the underground forest, which is not far from Quenhu Lake. Contrary to our itinerary, it is from bottom to top." Xiaomo stretched the bed sheet and sat on it. The equipment for tomorrow has been packed.

"Really~" Tomorrow night we really have to sleep in the mountains and wild forests, and we really worked hard to watch the sunrise.

I looked back at Su Mohan who was in a daze. She hadn't spoken since just now. Could it be that she has some objections to the itinerary?

"Here you are!" I threw the remaining half into her arms, "Seeing that you didn't eat much at night, I'm afraid you are spoiled by the delicacies in the city?"

"Huh?" She just came back to her senses now, "Thank you..."

"I've been distracted since I got here, is it okay?" I asked worriedly.

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired from walking the mountain road." She smiled in relief and signaled me not to worry.

"Then eat something, go to bed early, and you will be more tired tomorrow." I handed her hot water, and all I can do now is try not to disturb her.

Xiaomo's work and rest has always been regular, and he must rest on time at eleven o'clock. Although he was somewhat excited along the way today, the rules still cannot be changed.It was already overtime at this time, and when I looked back, she had already got into the quilt, and the electricity in the inn was cut off at half o'clock, and the room gradually became quiet. Can you hear the howling mountain wind and some nocturnal animals outside? cry.

Yumo is said to be surrounded by mountains, rather it is located in the arms of Luoshui Mountain, the highest peak, and most of the scenic spots we will visit are also on Luoshui Mountain. Yumo is just a transit station.

"Hey! The waterfall here is really spectacular. Look at the bottom, it's full of smoke and clouds." Liu Liangwang pulled the nylon rope tied around his waist and leaned out to look down. I was surprised when I saw it.

Liu Liangwang is at the front, and Lei Hang is in the middle, responsible for two people respectively.This is also the most efficient way. As for the team, it is decided by lottery. After all, the four of us are acquaintances by now, so any two teams will be fine.

So I was in a group with Su Mohan, and Xiaomo and Han Lin were separated by Lei Hang.

It's strange to say that as soon as I drew a lottery, Su Mohan took away another one with the same serial number, and the rest of the results can be imagined.Uh... It feels like it's clearly arranged.

The lottery also determines the right to use the tent. Although Han Lin said that he can sleep alone, Xiao Mo has fully considered the bearing capacity of his backpack, and he does not want to carry another tent.

"Aren't you afraid of heights?" I turned around and asked inexplicably.

"Well... I used to do it, but now I don't dare." She replied even more inexplicably.

"All right..."

Generally speaking, I am very satisfied today. In the evening, Liu Liangwang and Lei Hang found a safe place for us to pitch a tent. Although it was a two-person tent, the three of us were "petite" after all, so we could still live if we squeezed together.So Xiao Mo carried the sleeping bag and stuffed it into the two-person tent of Su Mohan and I, leaving Han Lin to live in the two-person tent.In addition, in order to save space, the large equipment of the three of us was kept in his territory.

Living in the deep mountains is more enjoyable than inns. The icy mountain wind seems to pass by the ears, and the three people in the tent are all sleepy.

I took out my phone and turned on fingerstyle, stepping on the beat and slowly putting together the complete tune.

"I blinded a pair of good players for nothing, but ran to settle accounts for others." Xiao Mo would always say that to me, but I have not received formal music education, and this is only used to relax in my spare time.

"There are only nine keys on it. Next time you come to our place to play, I will let you meet the piano." Su Mohan said lazily, "Tongtong is still very talented."

I snorted triumphantly, but I still refused, "I don't dare to touch things like a piano, and now my hands can only gallop on the computer keyboard."

"No ambition!" Xiao Mo stretched out his hand from the sleeping bag and patted my head.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are right." I continued typing on the keyboard. Although it was just a monotonous note, different tunes could be pieced together because of different sequences, different times, and even different durations of pressing.The environment was not quiet, there seemed to be footsteps outside, but this note was exceptionally clear.

It is scheduled for sunrise at four o'clock, but for the future trip, we still have to take a break.

I tried to move the legs that were under pressure, and found a comfortable position to sleep. It was still a bit crowded for the three of us to sleep.

"Do you think my hints have been few for so many years? You never dare to take one more step, and you have always been so arrogant. Do you think you are the savior? Can no one do without you? Tell you, I don't need you Your protection does not require your self-sacrifice, I would rather you remain as heartless as before..."

In a small room, Xiao Mo yelled at me hoarsely, and Su Mohan, who was standing beside me, could see the blue veins on his forehead clearly, "Your attention is always on her, but you know she always does things to you." What? Such a despicable means... Even if you two are in love, I will hinder it."

My head is dizzy, and my dreams have begun to develop into a triangle relationship. With beautiful women, should I be more reserved?
