A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Fang Shiqing did not expect that he had been to the "homestay" mentioned by store manager Zhang.

This homestay is at the far west of the neighboring town, next to the forest farm where the peach wood was purchased before. Its owner, that is, Zhang Yu's uncle, is the old man who looks after the forest farm.

The store manager was not lying. This is a flat two-story building with a considerable area. The upstairs and downstairs together have twenty or thirty rooms, all of which have been cleaned up for people to live in.

As the store manager said, many tourists from Fengyue Town live here, and most of the huge house has been filled.

The uncle Zhang in the forest farm (although his surname is probably not Zhang, but for convenience, Fang Shiqing called him that) was happy to see the result, and he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.He was very enthusiastic throughout the whole process, preparing food for the tourists who hadn't eaten yet - of course, dinner was also available for a fee.

Fang Shiqing's room was arranged on the second floor, right next to Xiao Fengdi.

The house is quite simple.There is a bare bed in the middle, with a wooden plank embedded in the wall at the head of the bed more than one meter high—it can be used as a bedside table, a hook behind the door, and nothing else.

It's just a place to sleep here, without any entertainment.In contrast, the price of renting is not high, only 2000 yuan for a single person for one night.

It was warm in the room, and he took off his coat and stuffed it in the inventory, then went back out into the hallway.

The structure of the homestay is very simple, all the rooms are arranged along the corridor, the windows of the corridor are facing the front yard, and the windows of the rooms are facing the back yard.

Xiao Fengdi was leaning against the diagonally opposite window at this time.He hadn't changed his coat yet, and he seemed to be looking at Fang Shiqing's door, but when he saw him coming out, he quickly turned his gaze out of the window.

...He stood there quietly, almost blending with the snowy sky behind him. From this angle, he was as concise and harmonious as a painting.

But this made Fang Shiqing uneasy for no reason.He walked over and greeted the other party without words.

"Boss...it's pretty warm here, um, right."

"Ah."

Xiao Fengdi responded and continued to look out the window.

Fang Shiqing also looked out.Several plum trees were planted in the front yard, and several tourists were attracted by it and stopped to watch it.Looking from the window on the second floor, the snow-white flowers look like piled snow, which is quite interesting.

However, Uncle Zhang is lighting a fire and cooking in the yard now, and the smoke from the cooker burns, immediately all the elegant scenery is covered with smoke and smoke.

The two stood silently for a while, and Xiao Fengdi asked, "Are you going down to eat?"

"No, I already had lunch." Fang Shiqing said awkwardly.

"Well."

Xiao Fengdi nodded, turned around and walked towards the end of the corridor.There are stairs going down there.

Fang Shiqing watched Uncle Zhang cook the meals from upstairs. There are twenty people staying here tonight, at least half of them need to eat.He couldn't do it alone, so store manager Zhang and Zhang Yu came over to help, and soon they came up with a lot of different dishes.

As he watched, he began to think wildly.Which of these dishes will Xiao Fengdi be interested in later?The boss has always told him that he is not picky eater and can eat anything, but he always feels that it is because the other party is taking care of his face - after all, people always have some taste preferences, there is no dislike, is there no favorite?

So, this time might be an opportunity to get to know him, Fang Shiqing suddenly thought.Take this opportunity to see what food he actively chooses, won't you be able to understand his preferences?

... Although it seems meaningless to know each other's preferences now, but he wants to do it.He wanted to know Xiao Fengdi better, even if it was only in trivial details.

So Fang Shiqing sneaked down the stairs and came to the lobby of the hotel; the room was very big and there were quite a lot of people, so Xiao Fengdi should not have noticed him.

Just at this time, Uncle Zhang brought up the prepared meal with a smile.For convenience, they simply made it in the form of a rice bowl. The farm food is paired with white rice, which looks very attractive. The tourists immediately rushed to it and paid for it.

Xiao Fengdi also walked forward, Fang Shiqing stared at him quietly, watching him reach out to a table of rice bowls, and then——

Ordered the cheapest one.

"..." Well, as expected of the boss, they are still saving money to do tasks, and they really need to save as much as possible.

After dinner, it was almost dark.The old people in Fengyue Town have long been accustomed to the custom of closing their doors and windows after nightfall, even when they are away from home, so they went back to their rooms early, leaving only three or four young people in the hall.

Xiao Fengdi went out, went to the yard, walked around several times, not knowing what he was doing.Fang Shiqing sat down in the living room and watched the other party secretly through the window. He felt that the boss seemed to care too much about this front yard—is there any problem there?

"Brother Fang."

He didn't turn his head until he heard the sound, and found that Zhang Yu had already cleared the table and sat next to him.

He ignored Zhang Yu too many times today, so he couldn't help feeling apologetic: "I'm sorry, I was distracted just now. What can you do?"

"It's okay. What are you looking at?"

"Huh? Ah, I'm looking at plum blossoms."

"Really?" Zhang Yu smiled slightly, "Actually, you are looking at the person next to Meihua."

"..."

Did he see something?

Shi Qing was not surprised by this.Zhang Yu is Zhang Yu's older brother, so if Zhang Yu already knew, of course he would probably tell him.

"Do you like him?" Zhang Yu asked, then shook his head again, "Forget it, there's no need to ask. Does he know you like him?"

"Well, well, how should I put it..."

Fang Shiqing didn't expect that he once again discussed the love issue with his "rival" in a serious manner.The face of Zhang Yu in front of him gradually overlapped with the Zhang Yu in his memory, which undoubtedly made him feel weird and awkward.

But Zhang Yu looked very serious, and he didn't want to stop the conversation suddenly, so he could only vaguely say: "It's all the same, does he know that they are actually the same. Anyway, we can't do it."

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Yu stared at him, "If two people like each other, why can't they be together?"

"Well... After all, there are many problems to face in reality." Fang Shiqing became more and more embarrassed, "Can we not..."

"I don't think there are any insurmountable problems in this world, only people who don't pay enough attention." Zhang Yu said relentlessly, "Do you really like him? If you really like him that much, you shouldn't use this attitude to escape .”

Fang Shiqing was a little annoyed all of a sudden, even if this kind of questioning happened between friends, it was out of bounds, not to mention that he and Zhang Yu were just familiar, so of course he would feel offended at this time.

But thinking about it carefully, he felt that he couldn't refute it.

He knew that he really liked Xiao Fengdi very much, but sometimes he also felt that this feeling was not deep enough to make him want to be with his sweetheart no matter the cost.

Speaking of which, the reason why he didn't associate with others was certainly because his real physical condition would delay them, but in the final analysis, it was more to protect himself—he was afraid of dragging down the other party, and even more afraid of being abandoned by the other party.

He opened his mouth, but in the end he could only say: "That's my own business, it has nothing to do with you. What exactly are you trying to say?" Want to prove that his affection for Xiao Fengdi is not as deep as that of him or his sister?

"It's nothing, I just want to make sure you don't like him that much. This is really... great," Zhang Yu showed a subtle smile, and stood up after speaking, "I'm going back to the room first, Brother Fang, you go back to the room early too Go ahead. Go to bed early at night and try—don't leave the room."

He turned away.

Fang Shiqing suddenly felt aggrieved by punching the air.He didn't understand why Zhang Yu was targeting him. It would be fine if he could speak clearly like Zhang Yu, but... Zhang Yu?What does Zhang Yu want to do?

Also, "Try not to leave the room," is anything going to happen tonight?

When Xiao Fengdi came back from the outside, a thin layer of snow fell on his shoulders and head.Seeing Fang Shiqing, he was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Well, just passing by... Boss, is there anything wrong with the yard outside?"

Xiao Fengdi shook his head and did not answer, but instead said, "Go back early, lock the door from inside the room, and go to bed early. Don't go out at night."

What did he find out? "Is there anything I can do to help..."

"Nothing," Xiao Fengdi replied immediately, "It has nothing to do with you."

Fang Shiqing couldn't continue asking.

He had no choice but to talk about Zhang Yu, emphasizing what he might do to Xiao Fengdi, but the other party didn't care too much, and only urged him to go back to the room quickly.

He had no choice but to do what he said.

Looking out from the window of the room, the snow is still the same, and the snow on the ground in the backyard is probably enough to cover the uppers of the shoes.There is a lot of rubbish piled up in the yard, which at first glance looks like ghosts.

If it continues like this, even if the snow stops tomorrow, they might not be able to go back.

Fang Shiqing locked the doors and windows tightly with worry, lay down on the bed early and fell asleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Fang Shiqing suddenly woke up.

The room was dark.Because of the snow, the surrounding area is especially quiet.

He opened his eyes and realized that he was not disturbed by the sound and light of the outside world, but—— intuitively felt a strange uneasiness.

This intuition was baseless, but it made him uneasy.

After confirming that he could not fall asleep again in a short time, Fang Shiqing made up his mind to get up, walked to the door, and listened carefully.

There was a faint voice outside the door.

"...No...I will never..."

He listened for a while, but couldn't tell who was talking, after thinking about it, he opened the door a gap and looked out.

The hallway was also dark.

The voice suddenly became much clearer, and this time he immediately recognized that it was Xiao Fengdi's voice.

He glanced at the time, it was 23:36 in the evening.It's already this time, why hasn't the boss rested yet?

"...No way. I've said it before..."

With his back turned to this side, Xiao Fengdi leaned over in front of the diagonally opposite window, as if he was talking to someone in the yard.He didn't wear a coat, and he seemed to have come out in the middle of his sleep.

"...I will never allow it. You can try."

His tone of voice was cold and determined, as if a little disgusted.

Then it seemed that the people in the front yard downstairs had left. He didn't speak again, but he kept staring down.After a while, he sighed slightly irritated.

Fang Shiqing hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should go out and ask.At this time Xiao Fengdi suddenly turned his head and saw him looking out at a glance.

"..."

He had the embarrassment of being caught peeping in the bag.

"Why didn't you sleep?" Xiao Fengdi immediately frowned when he saw him, his tone was almost scolding, "Go to sleep."

Fang Shiqing was a little guilty, but the uneasiness in his heart still urged him to ask one more question.

"Well, boss... what happened? Can't you tell me?"

"Don't worry about it," Xiao Fengdi said, "This is my own problem."

Well, since he said so...

Fang Shiqing was still not at ease.

"What about you?" he asked, "you're not going out, are you?"

The other party has a criminal record of going out overnight, not to mention that this is a neighboring town, and there are no ghosts outside at night.

"No, I'll go back to sleep too." Xiao Fengdi calmed down a little and replied.

"Oh……"

However, this time, Fang Shiqing did not get a sense of security from the other party's answer.

"Then, do you want to go back to your room now? I'll watch you go back before closing the door."

Xiao Fengdi sighed, it was hard to tell whether his attitude was impatient or helpless.

"That's what I'm going to say. I'll watch you close the door and go back."

This stalemate is too naive.Fang Shiqing said helplessly: "Boss, let me tell you the truth. I don't know why, but I feel a little flustered. I always feel that something will happen, so I want to watch you."

"No. You don't have to worry." Xiao Fengdi said, "You won't be in danger. This is me..."

He shook suddenly.

"..."

The sound just stopped.

He stretched out his hands to hold his chest, and an indescribable expression appeared on his face; then——

Slowly, fell forward.
