"If I ask you to take a plane, you won't take it. You have to take a train. After such a long time, don't you feel tired?"
Ren Yifan kept complaining to Lu Qiaochuan and Zhong Bai.
Lu Qiaochuan emphasized loudly: "This is a high-speed rail, a high-speed rail, do you know?"
Ren Yifan looked confused: "Isn't the high-speed rail a type of train?"
"no no."
Lu Qiaochuan shouted angrily: "The high-speed rail is not a train, the high-speed rail is a high-speed rail, and the train is a train. They are not the same concept. Do you understand?"
Ren Yifan: "I don't understand, but I know that whether it is a train or a high-speed rail, it is not as fast as an airplane. It is too painful to sit for such a long time."
"Suffering physical pain is better than suffering financially. Do you know how much it will cost to fly to Bi Shisan and the others?"
"I checked, and the air ticket is not much different from the high-speed rail ticket."
"Is that a direct flight? If we take a plane, we have to go to the airport, and then we have to transfer after getting off the plane. It still takes several hours. The combined time and money are far more than the cost of taking the high-speed rail. Do you know?
"
Ren Yifan refused to admit defeat: "So what, flying is faster than high-speed rail anyway."
"Okay, I don't have anything in common with you, so we can't talk anymore." Lu Qiaochuan simply put his foot down and stopped arguing with Ren Yifan.
Zhong Bai on the side was speechless: "You two started arguing before you even got in the car. Does it make sense to argue until now?"
Lu Qiaochuan looked helpless: "It's not that I want to argue with him, it's just that he is too annoying."
"Mr. Lu, it's you who are annoying."
"You two are done."
Zhou Chen also stopped the two of them impatiently.
"I said I didn't need you to go, but you insisted on going, and now you're here, and you can't stop talking about it."
Lu Qiaochuan said: "I am here to help Thirteen."
Ren Yifan: "Me too. Anyway, I am friends with Bi Shisan and Gu Yixin, so I must help them."
Lu Qiaochuan said: "You said yesterday that you didn't agree with their meeting, but you changed your mind so quickly?"
For convenience, five people bought seats connected together. The high-speed rail is faster, but it also takes several hours.
For a period of time after getting on the bus, several people were still chatting enthusiastically, but as time passed, they couldn't stand it any longer, and everyone started to rest on their chairs.
The usual few hours can pass quickly, but the few hours in the car are really not easy to endure.
A few people just slept for a while before falling asleep, but fortunately they were well prepared. Ren Yifan took out two decks of cards and then started a four-player battle of landlords.
With some fun and entertainment, time naturally flies by.
During this period, the five of them also had a quick meal on the high-speed train, but even so, after getting off the train, they still found a restaurant and had a delicious meal.
After eating and drinking, Ren Yifan asked energetically: "Where exactly is Bi Shisan's family?"
"No. 37, Beiwan Street Lane, Nanxing Road, Beitangwan, Senma Village, Luojia Town."
Lin Luoxue looked at the records on her phone and replied.
When Ren Yifan heard this, he was dumbfounded: "Damn, it's so long, who can remember it?"
Lu Qiaochuan said: "Let's go, there are only five of us, how can we take a taxi?"
If you take a taxi, you can only fit up to four people in one car, and they have five people, so they definitely can't fit in one car.
"What else can we do? Just take two cars and set off early to try to reach the destination before dark."
"Let's go, let's leave quickly."
…………
Bi Shisan's home is relatively remote. It took Zhou Chen and the others more than an hour to arrive at Luojia Town after setting off from the station.
"Is this Bi Shisan's hometown, Luojia Town?"
Zhou Chen and others walked on the edge of the ditch and looked at the rows of rather dilapidated and primitive buildings. Zhong Bai was very surprised.
"How do we find him?"
"I have Shisan's phone number. Wait, I'll call him now."
Bi Shisan bought a phone last semester, but very few people knew his phone number. As a roommate in the same dormitory, Lu Qiaochuan naturally had Bi Shisan's phone number.
The call was quickly connected, and Lu Qiaochuan talked a lot, and finally asked Bi Shisan to pick them up.
Ten minutes later, Bi Shisan rode an electric tricycle with a rear bucket and found Zhou Chen and the others.
I saw Bi Shisan wearing this bamboo hat and coarse linen clothes, looking exactly like a farmer who had just returned from farming.
"Thirteen, why are you like this?"
Lu Qiaochuan looked around Bi Shisan and asked in surprise.
Bi Shisan glanced at a few people and said: "I always dress like this at home to make it easier to work. Why are you here? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Lu Qiaochuan said: "We came to you for something very important, but now is not the time to talk about this. It is getting dark. Is there a hotel in your town? Take us there to have a rest."
Bi Shisan nodded and said: "Then come up, I will take you to the guest house."
Several people looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the back of Bi Shisan's tricycle.
Zhong Bai asked: "Just let us sit here?"
Bi Shisan replied calmly: "This is the most convenient. The five of you can definitely fit in it."
What else could be done now? Zhou Chen was the first to get on the back of the car, and then helped Lin Luoxue up. Finally, the five of them were squeezed into the small tricycle.
Ren Yifan smiled bitterly: "To be honest, this is my first time riding in this kind of car. As long as you bring a carport, I won't say anything."
"Okay, stop talking, you don't have to walk, it's good to just sit." Lu Qiaochuan stopped Ren Yifan from talking.
Bi Shisan's tricycle was driving a little swaying, and Zhou Chen hugged Lin Luoxue while looking at the surrounding scenery.
The environment of Luojia Town is good, with water and bridges, and it feels like a small bridge and flowing water.
But this is not unusual. In fact, in China, many towns and rural areas will have such scenery. Compared with the bustling and noisy cities, the rural areas will appear much quieter. When you come here, it seems that you have lost the fast pace of the city.
, which makes people feel inexplicably relaxed.
Lin Luoxue was also looking around, and at the same time said with emotion: "It looks very nice here."
Lu Qiaochuan echoed in a very literary manner: "Yes, the air here feels very fresh."
Ren Yifan shook his head and said: "It's just a little too far. It took us a long way. Bi Shisan, do you have to go two or three days in advance every time you go to school?"
Bi Shisan, who was riding a bicycle, said without looking back: "It's almost the same. I need to go to the train station first, and then take the train to school. It takes nearly thirty hours just to ride the car, but I'm used to it."
"Headache, headache."
When Ren Yifan heard this number, his scalp felt numb.
Seven or eight minutes later, the tricycle stopped, and several people looked at the blue plaque in front of them in astonishment that read 'Thirteen Guest House'.
"Whoosh!"
Several people's eyes turned to Bi Shisan at the same time. Lu Qiaochuan asked cautiously: "Shisan, is this your guest house?"
"Not really."
Bi Shisan shook his head and rejected it, then said: "I chose the name of this store, I also picked the opening date, I cut the colors, and the people I bring in can get a 20% discount."
Lin Luoxue looked at him suspiciously: "You can get a kickback, right?"
Bi Shisan was slightly surprised, but not embarrassed. He told the truth: "Yes, the commission is 20 yuan per person per day. How many days will you stay?"
Zhou Chen said: "One day, we will leave tomorrow."
"Leaving tomorrow?"
Bi Shisan looked surprised. Lu Qiaochuan hadn't told him the purpose of their visit yet, so he thought Zhou Chen and the others were here for fun and would only stay for a day?
"Yes, not only are we leaving, but you are also leaving with us."
Zhou Chen's words made Bi Shisan even more incomprehensible.
"Why?"
