Before everything starts

"Wow~!" stretched her waist fiercely, in every sense of the word, her slender waist was vividly displayed in the light of the morning sun, Qian Li stood at the gate of the hotel and watched the pedestrians who went to work on the street in the early morning, for this place, she was just a very strange weak woman. Although it is known as one of the four ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, it only leaves a few ancient memories - such words came from one of her traveling companions, Zhao Mian, although he was very scoffing at this before he came, but now it seems that there is some truth.

"Ah~~~~~! We're here for travel, not for work, not for school!, why do you get up so early!" complained beside her, her travel companion, but she was more intimate with her than the other boys—after all, it could be said that they had grown up together. In terms of height, Sun Xiao, who is half a head shorter than Qian Li, pulled Qian Li's hand with a rather coquettish tone, "Na~Na~Na~, Xiaoli, Xiaoli~, I'll please you soon~, people want to continue to sleep for a while~." ”

"Sun Xiao!" frowning slightly, Qian Li grabbed Sun Xiao's hand that was shaking her with her backhand, and then looked over with a very serious expression - Sun Xiao shrank slightly in her gaze, which made her look even smaller - she shook her head helplessly, Qian Li forcibly took Sun Xiao's hand and walked towards the street, "The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning." And you slept in the car yesterday for a day, and slept in a hotel room for another night, do you know how much fat you have accumulated on your body after sleeping for so long? Not to mention that you have been eating KFC for the past few days!"

"This ...... That one...... Ah!!! different!" Sun Xiao slowly moved his steps, trying in vain to make the last resistance, and the hand that was not held was waved up and down indiscriminately, "And I'm the kind of body type that won't get fat no matter how much I eat, it's okay!"

As a young girl, she didn't have much strength, so Qian Li already felt a little strenuous after dragging Sun Xiao for such a distance, so she suddenly let go of her hand, and Sun Xiao, who had been struggling backwards, was unsteady and almost fell to the ground, but finally stood on the handrail on the steps of the hotel to stabilize her footsteps.

"What are you doing!" Sun Xiao, who had stood firm, raised his head a little angrily and looked at Qian Li in front of him, "I almost fell down! This skirt is a new skirt I just bought, what if it breaks?!! besides, besides, ...... Besides...... "Something is slightly wrong, Qian Li in front of her looked at herself with some kind of peculiar eyes, Sun Xiao twisted her body a little uncomfortably under the gaze of this kind of eyes, trying to get rid of this gaze, but she did not succeed. "What are you looking at? ”

"I'm looking at a little girl who says she has a physique that doesn't grow fat and has a slightly bulging belly recently - Arala, if it's really the kind of physique that legendary women dream of, 'no matter how long you can't get fat', then what is the reason for this belly, this is really a subject worth studying. Do you say, Miss Sun Xiao?" Looking at Sun Xiao with playful eyes, Qian Li said with a smile on her face. "Whose baby is there?"

"You, you...... I, I, I ......" was quite chaotic, with a flushed face, and she didn't hold back a complete sentence for a long time, so in front of the smiling Qian Li, Sun Xiao, who was unwilling, finally decided to express her current emotions with practical actions - she lowered her head suddenly, her small body showed her advantages at this time, and then she hit Qian Li's stomach with a mallet.

"Whew. "The situation at that time was very obvious, one of the two people was pulling the other down the steps, and then because of an argument, the person walking behind suddenly had a bad intention, and launched an attack on the person in front, according to the conclusion of the scene investigation, the person behind obviously did not want to kill people, but because of the suddenness of the incident, the person in front fell down the steps without any preparation - what would a normal person do at this time? That's right, the party tightly hugged the life-saving straw that he could reach, and the result was: Qian Li pulled Sun Xiaoyang and fell down.

Of course, judging by the subsequent development of events, this incident was actually counted as an attempt.

"I said, what are you doing early in the morning?" Just when the two of them were about to lose their last balance and fall to the ground, a pair of strong arms grabbed Qian Li's arms and hugged Sun Xiao tightly, and pulled the two of them back, "I know that the two of you have a good relationship, but even if you want a lily, this place is not a good place to go, right? Isn't it better to solve physiological problems in the room? Or ...... Hmm, Miss Qian, you seem to be such a serious person, do you have such a powerful fetish? Arara, sure enough, the reality is more fantasy than the novel. ”

"Shut up!" With the help of this person, Qian Li regained her balance, and Sun Xiao, who was in her arms, also regained the feeling of the ground as a matter of course. However, the two girls who recovered obviously didn't appreciate it very much, not only did Qian Li get rid of the young man's hand after regaining her balance, but Sun Xiao quickly hid behind Qian Li as if she was away from some kind of pathogen, only revealing her ponytail outside-as if ventriloquism, and a voice that sounded very similar to Qian Li's tone and tone came from Qian Li's direction, "This palace just wants to experience the embrace of Mother Earth, you nosy fart people!"

Well, Sun Xiao was given a knife on his forehead by Qian Li, and then covered his forehead and stood aside with a look of grievance - he always felt that his height had shrunk again!"Woo woo~, I didn't start first, why did you only hit me?"

"Do you still dare to say!If it weren't for you, would I fall?!!" Qian Li put her palm into a knife and gestured above Sun Xiao's head and said, "Moreover, if you want to talk and say it yourself, don't play ventriloquist with me!" As she spoke, the girl with a black face that was so black that Yintang turned black suddenly turned her head, and the side of the knife hit the young man's shoulder, "And you! Zhao Mian! Don't think that pulling me up can offset what you just said! This kind of thing is no longer popular. Or do you want your aunt to know what's in your bookcase from top to bottom in the fourth row and from left to right in the sixth Oxford dictionary?!!!

"Please be sure to treat what happened just now as an illusion!" Bowing to the ground, Zhao Mian showed passers-by what it means to be 'very sorry' in a very standard posture.

"Ah~ah~Ah, that-this side is too, I'm very sorry!" With a light turn, Sun Xiao suddenly stood beside Zhao Mian, and bowed deeply to Qian Li in the same way as Zhao Mian - but he never raised his head, and secretly glanced at Qian Li's eyes, this thing must not be very sincere.

"You!" I have to say, on such a morning, it was a very-very striking thing for a young man who looked more like an overly solemn face than ordinary, and a young girl who had some regrets in height, but in other respects did not regret it, to bow to a slender girl who looked more ordinary. Even after a moment, a few pedestrians stopped in place - but most of them were actually very confused looks, but there were also some "It's nice to be young" and "This is the mistake of being young." So, the girl who became the focus of attention stomped her feet fiercely, and then shook her long hair that was almost up to her waist, and said, "Forget it!

"Thank you very much for your forgiveness!" said the two men in unison. In a place where Qian Li couldn't see, such a pair of guys showed a knowing smile to each other.

"But then again, you're up early. "Of course, this kind of thing to flirt with a girl should be in moderation - if you don't grasp the scale well, it is easy to have all kinds of problems, Zhao Mian himself has a deep understanding of this, especially when the distance between himself and the girl is actually just upstairs and downstairs, a girl who knows your gentlemanly side deeply will do what kind of thing when she loses her temper is simply terrifying. So Zhao Mian immediately chose to change the topic, "I thought I would be the first one, but I didn't expect you to get up." ”

"I slept enough yesterday, especially after some lazy guy ran out of battery on my phone. After a long while, the girl who had been alone in front of her with fast steps but had taken a short step relaxed her body as if deflated, her shoulders collapsed suddenly, she turned her head and looked at the two cautious guys behind her with a helpless expression, "So I plan to experience the local specialty snacks first, and there are not many people playing at this time." ”

"It's your business that you can't sleep, but I want to sleep. A girl muttered quietly - but wisely in a voice that no one but herself could hear.

"It's you-why did you get up so early?don't you sleep more?" glared at Sun Xiao viciously, there was enough tacit understanding between the two who had been together since childhood, although they couldn't hear what this girl was saying, but the general content was also very clear. Qian Li moved her gaze, looked at Zhao Mian's face, and then frowned and said: "You haven't rested for more than 20 hours by train and 6 hours by car, right?

"Because I can't sleep well. Zhao Mian shrugged his shoulders and shook his head a little helplessly, "You know, I already have some recognition, and I can't sleep well in a strange place, but Li Han's guy is still snoring, so he just rested a little at night." ”

"Well, why don't you change your room tonight?" Miss Sun Xiao suggested, "Look, since Li Han snores, let's find someone who doesn't snore to sleep with." ”

Originally, he was supposed to share a room with his younger brother, but the problem was that Zhou Qi couldn't resist his girlfriend to bring her up, so he shared a room with his girlfriend Wu Xian. The rest ...... Heh, heh!" her expression was not very pleasant, compared to her usual, Qian Li's current speed of speech was a little too fast, so that the other two people present almost couldn't tell what she was talking about, "Zheng Shi and Wang Xie, those two heartless?"

"Well, don't say that, those two guys just have too thick nerves. Zhao Mian waved his hand and stopped his steps, "Forget it, I won't disturb the double time between the two of you, I'll go to various attractions to investigate first." ”

"What double...... Well, forget it. Then see you at 7 p.m. when we meet at the east entrance of the gallery. Sighing, Qian Li also waved at Zhao Mian, and then pulled Sun Xiao towards the intersection on the side - Sun Xiao also made a thumbs up gesture to Zhao Mian before leaving.

"Really...... This guy. Zhao Mian shook his head with a wry smile, took out a map from his trouser pocket, and spread it out in front of him, "So, where should I go next for the first stop?"

Time is like water, time is like a shuttle. In the blink of an eye, it's 2025 - the previous one lied to you, in fact, it was only ten hours later, and now the time is about 7 o'clock in the evening, as if it was arranged before going to bed the day before, after a day of free activities, everyone gathered at the east entrance of the porch - but someone still didn't come.

"Hey, hey, hey, how long has it been here! I've been standing here for an hour, right? What about Zhao Mianren? What about his younger brother? What about his younger brother and sister?" Shaking his hand impatiently, Wang Xie took out a box of local cigarettes he had just bought from his trouser pocket, tore open the package, took out one from it and hung it in his mouth, and then began to look for a lighter on his body - but he couldn't find it for a long time, "Hey, Xiao Zheng Tong's shoes, did you bring a lighter?"

"I don't smoke, what am I taking that for?" said to Wang Xie helplessly, and Zheng Shi, who was leaning on the pillar next to him, said to Wang Xie - on his body, a string of so-called local characteristic ornaments showed off his figure.

"Huh, what about Li Han?" frowning and changing his target, Wang Xie asked.

"I said, have you ever seen me smoking?" replied Li Han, who was chewing gum, "Among the group of people who came out, apart from you, only Zhao Mian and his younger brother smoked, right? But when Zhao Mian comes over, you can ask him, when I watched him organize his bags yesterday, I found that there were all kinds of things in it, maybe there was a lighter inside. ”

"But speaking of which, isn't it a little strange that this kid Zhao Mian hasn't come here until now? Shouldn't that guy be the first to get here?" Zheng Shi left the pillar he had been leaning on for a long time, and then replaced it with another one to continue leaning on - it turned out that the one was full of his stinky sweat and body temperature.

"Well, that's true. Li Han frowned, "I remember that guy arrives on time every time, and every time we arrive, he is already waiting with a drink or something." What's going on this time? Are you lost here?"

"Hey, Qian Li, do you know where Zhao Mian is?" did not respond to Li Han's words, Wang Xie, who had a painful face, stuffed the cigarette in his mouth back into the package, turned his head to the girl who was standing far away from the three of them and asked, "You and he disappeared when we went out, aren't we together?"

"Heh, you actually asked me? Isn't Li Han in the same room with him? And don't you live next door to him?"

"But Zhao Mian hasn't appeared at this time, so there are indeed some problems. Sun Xiao, who was beside Qian Li, poked her waist and said, "Didn't you call just now and no one answered?"

"Tsk. Biting her lip, Qian Li said, "Wait a little longer, if you don't come, just look for it-maybe it's your brother? It's not the same as Zhao Mian's guy, Zhou Qi is not very reliable." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm late!" As soon as Qian Li's words fell, a young-sounding and impetuous voice sounded loudly, and a handsome young man who looked handsome from the appearance walked over with a very well-dressed girl, "Oh, I encountered a situation just now, and a little sister has been trying to let me buy her flowers, so I have been entangled for a while, I'm really sorry!"

"Don't talk nonsense, is there a lighter?" Before the others could react, Wang Xie rushed over as soon as possible and asked loudly at Zhou Qi.

"Lighters? Yes, yes, but shouldn't my brother have it with him? That guy will messily bring a lot of things that he doesn't need at all every time he goes out, don't you look for him?" Zhou Qi, who was a little puzzled, took out a lighter from his pocket and handed it over, and then poked his head out from Wang Xie's side and looked at everyone present, "Eh, isn't my brother here?" I called and no one answered, and I thought he just didn't hear it. ”

"Wait!, you said you called and no one answered?" An arrow rushed to Wang Xie's side, Qian Li grabbed Zhou Qi's shoulder suddenly, and the strength on it made Zhou Qi frown suddenly, and the girl beside him wanted to slap her hand away for the first time, but was frightened by the girl's eyes and shrank back, "When did that happen?"

"Time...... It's about half past six. Looking at the girl's serious eyes, Zhou Qi shrank a little and said, "I...... I thought I might not be able to get here on time, so I called my brother, but no one answered. It's been like this several times in a row. ”

"Maybe he's just too tired and goes back to sleep, right?" Wang Xie, who finally lit his cigarette, was obviously relieved, and then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Look, that guy always likes to worry about it, and now that the security measures on the train are so good, he actually looked at his luggage all night, and then stayed on the train for so long to prevent overdoing - he should just be tired now." ”

"Do you think everyone is as heartless as you!" The girl waited for him viciously, the power contained in her eyes made Wang Xie so frightened that the cigarette in her hand almost fell, and the girl turned her head and looked at the others, " Li Han went back to the hotel to see, you and Zhao Mian are in the same room, with the same key card, we are the only one here who can determine whether he is in the room; Zhou Qi took your girlfriend to the west exit of the corridor to have a look, maybe that idiot got the wrong direction and was waiting for us there, and lost his mobile phone by the way; the rest of us are looking around here, maybe that guy is just lost. ”

"Hah, why do I want to listen to your mother-in-law's ......" Wang Xie said a little angrily, but he didn't finish speaking, because Master Zheng grabbed his hand, then shook his head at him secretly, and then pulled him into the crowd.

The people who had just gathered did so, and the girl who remained there took out her phone with some distress - the numbers on the lit screen made her even more anxious, and the end of the news broadcast seemed to laugh at her at this moment. She pressed the switch of the screen hard, and the force caused her fingertips to leave red marks, and on the black mirror, a worried face was clearly reflected. "Where the hell did you go?"

"That--is that person Zhao Mian?" Blindly running around in the crowd, the light of the mobile phone had just turned off its light, Li Han sent a message from the hotel, the waiter said that the guest went back once at noon, but went out again at about two o'clock in the afternoon, but the voice of the girl who had been following him woke up Qian Li from a daze. She followed Sun Xiao's line of sight, in an alley not far from them, under the dim light, a familiar guy was standing calmly, carrying his bag, like a real wax figure - yes, she can recognize that guy at a glance as a childhood sweetheart, even if you turn to ashes, it is not a joke to know here.

"You guy! Everyone is waiting for you, why are you standing here alone in a daze!" It can almost be said that all the strength of the recent explosion has exploded, the girl left Sun Xiao and rushed straight into the alley alone, and then hit the person's body, which made the person fall to the ground, and the girl condescendingly asked: "Say!"

"That...... That one...... Miss Qian Li?" was not the usual joking seriousness, nor was it the usual lightness, the girl frowned at this moment, she stared at the face of the guy in front of her—yes, it was indeed the guy who had lived upstairs from her since she was a child, and she was not so fooled by the lights here that she couldn't even tell the difference, but from his words, a stiffness and restraint that had never been heard before permeated it, and even something that was completely unexpected by the girl was also included- Unfamiliar.

"Who are you?" asked the girl, gritting her teeth. (About this, I saw that someone in the book review section said that he wanted to finish the story of Lao Zhao in Azeroth, and then suddenly he had an idea to write something - in short, look at it.) ）
