001.
Hearing that there would be no additional charge, Guodong was instantly excited. He hurried back to hug his rabbit, and then followed Chen Ran to his room.
In the room, Chen Ran found his clothes and was about to wash up.
Guodong entered the door, put the two little rabbits on the bed, then turned his head to look at Chen Ran's room.
Chen Ran's room has also changed like the living room downstairs. Originally, Chen Ran's room was simple and cold, like a temporary hotel, with almost no personal items in the room.
But it is different now, there are many strange things in the house now.
There are unknown potted plants placed in the corner, and strange books and picture albums placed on the bookcase. Guodong even saw comics in it.
This made Guodong immediately think of the villain painting drawn by Chen Ran that he had seen in the dungeon before, and Chen Ran was going to pick it up?
"Those are Sun Wu's things." Chen Ran said without looking back.
Guodong was surprised.
He was looking around the room, and immediately felt relieved that these things really had the atmosphere of Sun Wu.
"I cleaned up Sun Wu's house." Chen Ran paused when he closed the closet.
People around him died one by one, leaving behind a pile of things. At first he covered everything with a white cloth, but now he has the courage to sort it out carefully.
Chen Ran glanced at Guo Dong, "You see, if you like something, you can take it away."
While speaking, Chen Ran glanced at the green plants beside him.
Sun Wu's home is full of life. He can cook by himself, raise potted plants, and buy some useless things to pile up at home, so much so that he has no place to put the things he brought back from Sun Wu's house.
Guodong looked at the potted plant. He didn't know what kind of plant it was. It grew tall and large leaves, which were very green and very pleasing to look at.
But think about the scene where Hongying and his group lined up to water it every day when he was away, and Guodong gave up again. This is not friendly to the physical and mental development of the plant, and it is easy to scare to death.
Unable to send the potted plants out, Chen Ran went into the bathroom.
Guodong took this opportunity to look through all the extra things in Chen Ran's house. When he found the comics in the bookcase, Guodong couldn't help but be fascinated.
When Chen Ran came out with wet hair, Guo Dong had already been lying on the bed watching for a long time.
Chen Ran took away the manga and drove Guodong into the bathroom.
When Guodong and Rabbit came out of the bathroom, Chen Ran had already read Guodong's comics.
Guodong didn't care to blow his wet hair, so he rushed forward to snatch it back.
Chen Ran didn't give it, and moved away nimbly, asking Guodong to dry his hair first.
Guodong quit and was obsessed with getting back his manga, and the two started grabbing it while talking.
Ten minutes later, the battle ended with Guodong winning.
As the loser, Chen Ran had no choice but to pluck Guodong's hair with annoyed expression. He didn't relieve his anger until he blew Guodong's hair into a chicken coop.
Guodong was furious when he found out, and immediately showed his paws and chased Chen Ran all over the room, trying to turn Chen Ran into a chicken nest.
You come and I toss and toss until ten o'clock at night, the two of them are finally tired from tossing, turn off the light and lie down on the bed.
After playing enough, Guodong lay on the bed, but his mind was extremely clear, and he had no intention of going to sleep at all.
He stared at the roof for a long time with his eyes wide open, but after still not being able to feel sleepy, he looked sideways at Chen Ran beside him.
Chen Ran who fell asleep was very quiet, somewhat like the fake Chen Ran from before.
Looking at Chen Ran's profile in the dark, Guo Dong suddenly remembered the helpless look in the other Chen Ran's eyes when he looked at him before, which made him unable to sleep even more.
"Chen Ran?" Guo Dong said.
Chen Ran remained motionless, breathing long and gently, as if falling asleep.
"Chen Ran?" Guo Dong patted Chen Ran's shoulder lightly with his fingers.
Chen Ran still didn't move.
Guodong lay flat and looked at the roof above, but the roof was not as interesting as Chen Ran, so he quickly turned his head to look at Chen Ran again.
Chen Ran in the darkness was dyed a little bit of night, his outline looked hazy, and the harsh aura on his body became softer.
Guodong's Adam's apple slipped, and approached Chen Ran in the dark. When he got close, the smell of shower gel on Chen Ran's body could be heard, and Guodong's Adam's apple couldn't help sliding.
Even though they both used the same bottle of shower gel, Chen Ran smelled better than his.
Smelling the scent, Guodong almost buried his face in Chen Ran's neck.
"What are you doing?" Chen Ran's voice came.
Guo Dong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Chen Ran was not asleep at all, and Chen Ran just ignored him on purpose.
"Why shouldn't I call you just now?" Guo Dong asked.
Chen Ran didn't speak again, as if he was extremely sleepy.
Guo Dong flattened his mouth and lay down next to Chen Ran.
After lying down for less than three seconds, Guodong couldn't lie down again, and he turned sideways again to look at Chen Ran.
"Aren't you going tomorrow?" Chen Ran reminded.
Guodong suddenly realized that they were leaving at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, he quickly closed his eyes, but soon opened them again.
Seeing Chen Ran's face so close at hand, the corners of Guodong's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and he was in an unprecedentedly good mood.
"Will you kiss anyone casually?" Guo Dong asked.
Chen Ran, who kept his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep, opened his eyes when he heard the words, "What?"
Guodong lay flat, he stretched the thin quilt to cover his stomach, human beings would suffer from stomach pain if they didn't cover their stomachs when they slept, then he turned over and hugged the two little rabbits beside his pillow, and closed his eyes contentedly. Eyes start to sleep.
Humans don't kiss other humans casually. Chen Ran has such a bad personality, and he is still a crab boss. He doesn't even kiss other people casually, but Chen Ran kissed him twice, so Chen Ran didn't treat him as " Anyone."
To Chen Ran, he was different.
Thinking of this, Guodong closed his eyes and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and finally felt sleepy in his mind.
That feeling was very strange, as if he was soaked in water, but he didn't feel suffocated and uncomfortable, but felt that his whole body was light, comfortable and at ease.
Seeing Guodong hugging his rabbit and going to sleep, Chen Ran, who was made sleepless by Guodong's words, couldn't help raising his head slightly to look at Guodong, what does Guodong mean?
"Guodong?" Chen Ran said.
Guodong was motionless, he was sleepy, and he wanted to sleep.
Chen Ran waited for a while but didn't get a response, he couldn't help frowning and thinking about Guo Dong's meaning, what does it mean if he would kiss anyone?
Who did Guodong regard him as?
And why did Guodong have such an idea?
Did Guodong think he was just joking around?
"Guodong?" Chen Ran was about to have a serious talk with Guodong, he stretched out his hand to break Guodong's shoulder, Guodong turned over in a daze, and stuffed his head into his arms.
Seeing Guodong like this, Chen Ran was dumbfounded.
Pressing all the complicated thoughts in his heart back to his stomach, Chen Ran looked at the face of Guodong who was close at hand, lowered his head, and kissed Guodong's lips lightly.
After the soft kiss ended, Chen Ran lay down next to Guodong, determined to have a good talk with Guodong tomorrow.
The words he'd been meaning to say slipped down his throat and entered his dreams.
At dawn the next day, Chen Rantian woke up at dawn. When he quietly went downstairs to prepare breakfast and then came upstairs, Guodong woke up in a daze, and was sitting cross-legged on the bed making the quilt.
He crumpled the quilt into a round ball and put it next to the pillow.
Chen Ran was amused, unfolded and folded the ball while Guo Dong was washing up, and then led Guo Dong, who was a little more awake, downstairs to eat.
He and Lan Haoyi agreed to meet at noon, and it would take several hours of driving and flying from their side to Lan Haoyi's side.
It was not the first time for Guo Dong to take a plane, but he was still very excited, and he didn't calm down until the plane took off.
The nearly four-hour flight was over, and as soon as Chen Ran came outside with Guo Dong in his hand, he ran into him head-on.
Gao Jin is still in his usual attire, white shirt and suit trousers, wearing glasses with gold-rimmed thin frames, elegant and refined.
"This way." Gao Jin led the two of them towards the airport parking lot.
After coming to a place with a little less people, he approached and spoke again, "Lan Haoyi still has something to deal with at the reception."
Chen Ran didn't mind, but Guo Dong's eyes lit up when he heard the word "reception". Just as he was about to ask what the reception was like, Chen Ran carried him into the car.
Chen Ran still carried his long knife, and his air tickets were booked in the names of members of the organization.
In order to prevent members of the organization from being pulled into the copy suddenly in the car or on the plane, and suddenly disappearing to cause panic, they have special internal permissions.
"Are you going to the hotel or the place to eat first? Lan Haoyi will go directly to the place to eat later." Gao Jin drove the car out of the parking lot, and it was already past eleven o'clock.
It's the hottest season of the year recently, and the sun is so bright that it doesn't cost money. As soon as the car pulls out of the parking lot, the sun can't wait to pour into the car through the window, making Guodong squint his eyes slightly.
Guodong raised his hand to cover it, the sunlight penetrated through his slender white fingers, and his whole hands were illuminated transparently with a bit of red light.
Chen Ran glanced at Guodong's intact wrist, and when he saw Guodong again, the injury on Guodong's hand had healed.
"Eat first." Chen Ran said, going to the hotel first, they still have to go to eat right away, going back and forth too much.
Gao Jin had already expected that the route he chose directly from the beginning was the route to the hotel.
While driving, Gao Jin couldn't help but take a look in the rearview mirror at Guodong who was eager to try.
He was surprised when Chen Ran said that Guodong would also come with him, and at the same time he couldn't help but panic, but soon suppressed it.
"When are we going to the reception?" Guo Dong found an opportunity and hurriedly asked, he had already figured out how much money he could use for investment.
He couldn't help but think of another thing, he turned his head and stretched out his hand to Chen Ran, "Repay my salary and overtime pay!"
Chen Ran slapped Guodong's palm and ignored him.
The person in the front driver's seat approached and laughed.
The car quickly left the airport and entered the city center. Twenty minutes later, they stopped at a seemingly remote "food street" in the city center.
This food street is different from the snack street in the south. There are almost no people on this street, and there are not many shops on both sides of the street, but judging from the inside situation revealed by the glass windows, the restaurants here are all exquisitely decorated.
The car stopped at a retro restaurant with an interesting name, Yuelai Restaurant.
Next to the antique signboard, there is also an antique flag hanging, which is exactly the appearance of a street shop that is indispensable in various costume dramas.
The interior layout of the hotel is different from the exterior. Although it upholds the usual antique style, it does not have the lobby of a small restaurant full of tables and chairs like in TV dramas. The front hall is not too spacious, and there is only one reception desk.
Opposite the front desk is a lounge separated by a bamboo fence. There is a person sitting in the lounge. The person doesn't know whether he is waiting for someone or is in a daze. They can't see clearly who is inside from their angle.
"Let's go to the back." Gao Jin led the way.
"This is also the property of the Lan family. Strictly speaking, it is Lan Haoyi's property. But this is his private place. Except for his own friends, he doesn't bring people from business. He also entertains some other guests here." near introduction.
Guodong turned his head, and when he heard that this was Lan Haoyi's own shop, his heart immediately became sore, "Is it very profitable?"
Does he want to open a restaurant too?
I don't know if Hongying and the others can cook?
Gao Jin had already expected this to happen, he said with a smile: "Lan Haoyi said that today he is the host, you can eat whatever you want." Gao Jin mainly said this to Guo Dong.
Sure enough, when Guodong heard this, he immediately had a vicious expression that would kill Lan Haoyi.
When they came to the private room, they saw Lan Haoyi as soon as they entered the door.
002.
After a few pleasantries, they handed over the menu to Guodong, and immediately sat down at the table.
"How's Li Zhuofeng doing?" Lan Haoyi asked.
Gao Jin wanted to ask about this a long time ago, "Is he all right?"
Chen Ran also looked at Guodong.
Guo Dong, who was determined to eat up Lan Haoyi, was busy ordering food while lying on the order tablet, and stopped, he lost interest in ordering food in an instant, and his face was a little more lonely.
Seeing Guo Dong's expression, the three of Chen Ran couldn't help but sit up straight, they had a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Not good." Guo Dong said.
"Not good? What is bad..."
"The anger in him is very weak, and it is getting weaker and weaker. It has something to do with the other him in the dungeon. That him should have been dying before. I have never seen this kind of situation before. Half of him is dying, and half of him is dying." He is still alive." Guo Dong said.
The three were dumbfounded.
After a pause, Guodong still truthfully told what he felt from Li Zhuofeng, "He himself has no intention of living."
Just like Sun Wu and Mo Ran, Li Zhuofeng didn't have a strong desire to stay.It was precisely because Li Zhuofeng didn't feel the drive to survive no matter what, that's why he felt sad when he went to the hospital to see Li Zhuofeng.
Hearing Guo Dong's words, Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin couldn't help being startled, and even Chen Ran raised his eyebrows, and then the three of them fell silent.
They didn't know Li Zhuofeng before, so they felt that Li Zhuofeng was probably the most normal person among all of them.Now that they understand, they don't know how to comment on Li Zhuofeng.
Li Zhuofeng, who grew up in that environment, probably used up all his courage when he broke away from that family.
However, he mustered up the courage to live, but life did not treat him kindly. Instead, it frustrated him time and time again, making him wonder whether he was really a jealous, vicious person.
Lan Haoyi broke the silence, "Is there no way?"
After a pause, Lan Haoyi said a little arrogantly: "Even if he really wants to die, he should die when he is sober, instead of dying in such a vague way."
Guodong looked at Lan Haoyi, hesitated for a moment, and didn't speak again.
The room fell silent again.
Guodong lowered his head to look at the menu in front of him. He was originally in high spirits, but now he is also absent-minded. He randomly selected some dishes and clicked Submit.
After the clerk came to confirm, the food they ordered was delivered soon.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Lan Haoyi and Jianjin had no choice but to remain silent because of Li Zhuofeng's matter.
After the meal, they approached Guodong and Chen Ran to the hotel.
"The reception starts at seven o'clock in the evening, and we will come over at six o'clock." Lan Haoyi said in the car, and he took a special look at Chen Ran while speaking.
Chen Ran nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
At six o'clock in the evening, Gao Jin and Lan Haoyi arrived as scheduled, and they brought Guodong and the others two new suits. The reception at night is not for ordinary people.
After changing their clothes, the four of them headed towards the place where the reception was held.
The venue of the reception looks like a private house, with a clear and shallow pool where fish are raised, and a rockery with a pine tree that is trying to stick out its branches. It feels peaceful and zen.
When he arrived at the place, after Lan Haoyi led Guodong and Chen Ran in, he was quickly caught talking by the oncoming people.
Approaching seemed to be a habit, he looked around, and led Guodong and Chen Ran aside to find a place to sit.
Looking into the courtyard, there are two rows of long buffet tables against the wall in the hall of the house. Looking at the pile of red seafood and various meals above, Guodong's Adam's apple couldn't help but slide.
"The meeting will officially start at nine o'clock. Before that, you can eat whatever you want, and you can also talk to other people." He approached, "But don't go too far."
The last sentence was a reminder to Chen Ran.
After explaining, Gao Jin was about to head towards Lan Haoyi, and he stopped after taking two steps.
Chen Ran followed his gaze. On the opposite side of the hall, in the corner of the unoccupied sofa, a man about their age was looking down at the wine glass in front of him.
"What?" Chen Ran asked.
"It's nothing..." Gao Jin frowned, then sighed again.
Gao Jin walked towards Lan Haoyi, Chen Ran glanced at the man again, and when he turned back to look at Guodong, Guodong had disappeared, and he immediately looked towards the buffet table, as expected, Guodong didn't know why already ran over there.
Guodong took an oversized plate and was about to take the lobster from the dining table.
Chen Ran rubbed the bridge of his nose, he was relieved while having a headache, at least he didn't have to worry about how he would steal it later.
Maybe he went and came back, and Guodong didn't even notice that he was gone.Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ran didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.
Chen Ran found a place to sit down, and just as he closed his eyes to rest his mind, Guo Dong came over with two full plates.
"This is yours." Guodong gave half of it to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran opened his eyes, looked at the hill in front of him, and the expression on his face softened immediately, "Are you going to hang yourself here?"
"If you don't eat, give it back to me." Guo Dong reached out to grab the plate, but luckily he even specially took one for Chen Ran.
Chen Ran blocked Guodong's hand, "Who said I won't eat."
When Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin entered the door, they saw Guo Dong sitting in front of the sofa from a distance, eating and drinking.
Looking at the mountains of plates in front of the two of them, Lan Haoyi had black lines all over his head. Forget about Guo Dong, why did Chen Ran get excited?
Just as he was about to go there, out of the corner of his eye, he saw another sofa next to him, and saw the man on the sofa staring at the red wine in his hand in a daze, Lan Haoyi's smiling face couldn't help but froze.
"Shall I call them over?" Gao Jin suggested.
Lan Haoyi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, leaning on a cane, he walked towards Guodong and the others.
He tried to straighten his body, but his injured leg never allowed him to walk like a normal person.Every time the crutch in his hand fell to the ground, there would be a crisp sound, and the sound attracted many people's attention, including the man sitting on the other sofa next to Guodong and the others.
Seeing Lan Haoyi walking towards him, the man holding the red wine turned pale for a while.
He put the wine on the table, picked it up again after thinking about it, his lips quivered, trying to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
Seeing Lan Haoyi sitting down beside Guodong and the others, he was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked away.
Guodong also noticed that person, which made him feel strange, he looked at Lan Haoyi beside him, "Do you know each other?"
Lan Haoyi's tense body slowly relaxed after the man went out with the wine glass. He glanced at Guodong with a complicated and bewildered expression.
Seeing that Lan Haoyi didn't seem ready to answer, Guodong lowered his head and continued to fight with the big lobster on his plate.
Just when Guodong was eating vigorously, Lan Haoyi's voice came, and he patted his injured leg, "He is my former friend. He is the one who limped my leg."
Listening to Lan Haoyi's words, the three of Guodong raised their heads in surprise.
Guodong and Chen Ran had heard about Lan Haoyi's injury long ago, but they didn't know the specifics of what happened. Lan Haoyi suddenly mentioned it, and they were inevitably surprised.
The surprise of approaching was different from the two, he had already known the existence of that person, he was just surprised that he could hear this from Lan Haoyi's mouth one day, and the "lame" in Lan Haoyi's mouth Character.
Lan Haoyi has always been a person with strong self-esteem, he will never allow anyone to look down on him, and the injured leg is the biggest stain in his life, it is indeed the biggest smile in his life who is so proud point.
Those who looked down on the Lan family and him talked a lot about this matter.
"I am the only heir of the Lan family. I was coaxed to grow up by people in the family. I am very aware of this, but I never think it is a problem, because I think I can afford the difference." Lan Hao Yi smiled mockingly, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or others.
"Many people have advised me not to be too arrogant, thinking that I should restrain myself and be humble, but I think they are just jealous."
"Why does a person who is already standing on the top of the mountain pretend that he is still at the foot of the mountain? Just because others think he should? Instead of pretending to join the crowd, I spend my time looking at the scenery on the top of the mountain, looking at the distance and seeing more Isn't it good to be high?"
"Of all the people, only he can understand what I mean and understand me."
"I thought he could understand me, so I was willing to share everything with him. I told him about the things I didn't like and the people I didn't like. I was also willing to help him. I could make the projects his family wanted The family names his house, and I can give him whatever he wants."
Lan Haoyi paused, he looked at Chen Ran who was sitting opposite, but his eyes didn't focus on Chen Ran's face.
He stroked his leg that was still aching so far, with a complicated and mocking expression, but there was no anger in it.
"Then one day, he was hit by a car." Lan Haoyi looked at Chen Ran and Guo Dong.
Chen Ran watched quietly, only planning to be a quiet listener.
Guodong kept looking back and forth between him and the big lobster in front of him, and his heart also floated back and forth.He thought he should listen to Lan Haoyi carefully, but the lobster was really delicious.
Lan Haoyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his originally heavy heart suddenly became relaxed.
He also suddenly understood why he could easily say these things that he had never said before to outsiders in front of these two people.
Because Guo Dong and Chen Ran don't know how to laugh at him, they don't think he's sick, they just think he talks too much and disturbs them from eating lobster...
"At that time, I was very angry and angry. I didn't understand why I was betrayed. I confessed my heart to him, but he betrayed me and even wanted to kill me. Coupled with the gloating and ridiculing around me, I felt that life would be worse than death, too. During that time, I was pulled into the dungeon."
"But now I sort of understand..."
The only thing he is grateful for now is that after the accident, he did not agree with the Lan family's arrangement in extreme anger, and he paid for it with blood.Instead, he chose to pretend that there was no such thing, that he had just had a car accident by accident.
Thinking about it now, maybe at that time he already understood that his so-called "disdain to pretend" and "goodwill help" were just excuses to keep hurting his only friend.
Lan Haoyi got up, he looked at Chen Ran, who immediately understood.
Chen Ran wiped his hands and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Guodong raised his head.
"There is something in the organization, I need to talk to him alone." Lan Haoyi said.
Guodong looked at the two of them with the eyes of a fool, "You can also chat here."
Lan Haoyi looked at Chen Ran, he was gone.
"The reception is about to start, are you sure you're not here to listen to other people talking about this project?" Chen Ran raised his lips, "You can come with me if you want, then let's go."
The smile on Guodong's face, who was looking at the idiot just now, froze. He looked at the people around him, with obvious hesitation on his face.
"Let's go." Chen Ran urged.
Guodong looked at Chen Ran, and then at the crowds gathering around him.
"Let's go?" Chen Ran had already walked outside the sofa.
"I still won't go." Guo Dong turned to the reception with a heart.
Chen Ran looked at Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin who also looked helpless, the three of them shook their heads and walked towards the door.
When the three of them came to the door and looked back, Guodong, who was eating happily just now, had already left the sofa.
Holding a small notebook, he secretly looked at the people around him, as if he was thinking about where to find out the business secrets so that he could make a lot of money.
The three looked at each other helplessly and left silently.
Leave the reception and go outside.
Lan Haoyi and Chen Ran waited at the intersection, and approached to pick up the car.
After getting into the car, Lan Haoyi said again when the car drove all the way to the outside of the city, "What are you going to do?"
Leaning against the glass window, looking at the receding neon lights outside the window, Chen Ran was puzzled.
"After you know."
Chen Ran looked out of the window again.
Lan Haoyi hesitated, not knowing whether he should open the mouth, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said: "What if we know?"
Just like him, even if he now knows how much he used to go too far, it is impossible for him to apologize, and it is impossible for the other party to come to apologize to her, and then the two of them will pretend that nothing happened, just like before good friends.
"If I ask, he should also tell me." Chen Ran said.
His voice was so soft that it was almost drowned out by the sound of traffic.
Listening to his words, Lan Haoyi and Jia Jin in the car were taken aback for a moment.
Immediately, the two looked at each other in the rearview mirror, their expressions became distorted, Chen Ran deserves a beating?
"But I don't want to ask." Chen Ran said.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin, who had distorted faces just now, were both silent.
No one spoke on the road until the car drove all the way out of the urban area and entered the mountains outside the urban area. It seemed remote, but it was not a corner of the mountain, at least it was connected to the highway.
After driving forward for another twenty minutes, the car got off the expressway and headed towards the mountains.
After walking through a narrow and dark mountain road, the world gradually became lively again.
Under the night, when the car drove into the village, he saw the sign of the resort flashing by at the intersection, Chen Ran couldn't help sitting up straight and glanced at Lan Haoyi beside him, "Resort?"
When approaching and contacting him, his tone was serious and complicated, and he was told to come over in person. He had guessed many possibilities along the way, and even made the worst plans, but he never thought that the two would bring him to the resort.
"Well, it's quite a famous resort." Lan Haoyi said, "Maybe you've heard the name before."
Chen Ran's eyes as deep as the deep sea were stirred by doubts, and he became more and more confused about what Lan Haoyi and Jiajin were doing?
Soon, the car stopped in front of a farmhouse type hotel.
After getting out of the car, Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin went into the yard in front of them familiarly, and communicated with the people in the house.
Chen Ran was left in the car.
It was not the first time for Lan Haoyi and the others to come here, and they had obviously made an agreement before, so the people in the house quickly went out enthusiastically, wondering where to take them.
Gao Jin knocked on the car window, and Chen Ran got out of the car with his long knife to follow.
The people in the small courtyard seemed to be the village chief or the secretary, and they had some prestige in the village. When leading Lan Haoyi and the others through the village, many people took the initiative to say hello to them.
Listening to the conversation between the two sides, Chen Ran quickly understood the excuses Lan Haoyi and the others used. The two used the "construction and development" method that Li Zhuofeng often fooled people.
Seeing what Chen Ran was thinking, Lan Haoyi's face was instantly embarrassed. He explained, "This village is already engaged in tourism, and the Lan family also intends to develop in this area recently, so let's take a look..."
While talking, they had walked out of the village and came to a mountain behind the village.
The mountain is not too high, but it is very broad, and the side facing the village is a straight cliff.
I can't see the whole mountain clearly at night, but I think the scenery will not be too bad.
"This way." The person who led the way greeted, he didn't bring a few people up the mountain, but led them towards the cliff.
After walking through a narrow stone path, they came to the entrance of a cave in front of the cliff.
The entrance of the cave is very secret, and most people wouldn't notice it unless someone leads the way.
The entrance of the cave is also very large, at least three or four meters in diameter, and it is not a problem for several people to enter side by side.The space inside is very large, and judging from the echoes, it is estimated that it can accommodate thousands of people.
"I'll turn on a light." The leader walked to the side of the cave while speaking, and a few seconds later, a series of light bulbs lit up in the cave.
The lightbulbs are drawn by the villagers themselves, which are not as good as the lighting in special tourist attractions. Under the light of the lightbulbs, the caves are alternately light and dark. Some places are a bit eerie and scary, but this does not affect their vision.
After approaching and exchanging a few words with the guide, the guide began to introduce this place to Chen Ran.
"How old do you think I am?" Chen Ran was taken aback by the first sentence the guide said.
Chen Ran looked at him, and it was at this time that he noticed that the guide was older than he thought before.
He had noticed before that the person leading the way was an old man with gray hair, but he thought he was only in his 50s.
Now that he took a closer look, he found that the muscles on the other person's face were dry and slack, and his face was full of age spots. Although his eyes were bright, he was definitely not in his fifties.
On the contrary, he looked like the daughter-in-law of the village chief's family in Shenyou Village.
"sixty?"
The guide who was still complacent was stunned for a moment, "You are still the first one to guess right among so many people."
While speaking, the old man turned his head and led them to continue walking into the cave.
"Our village is called Changshou Village, and this mountain is called Changshou Mountain. From the name, you should know the characteristics of our village. That's right, the people in our village live very long lives." Speaking of his pride, the guide laughed. laugh.
"I'm not lying to you. The longest people in our village have lived to be more than 140 years old. There are old men and old women like me who are in their sixties and can work in the fields. Because of this, many people from outside come here. We live here, just want to eat and drink the same as us, to see if we can live longer..."
"Tell me about this cave." He reminded.
Seeing that his topic was off track, the guide quickly brought it back, "The longevity of our village is not because of the special things we eat and drink, but because of the blood of God in our bodies."
Hearing these familiar words, Chen Ran was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to Shenyou Village, and the wife of the village chief's family had the same tone and expression when she said this.
He also kind of understood the reason why Gao Jin had to let him come here by himself, this was clearly another "Divine Blessing Village".
"It's still inside." Lan Haoyi reminded, he walked slowly, so he walked at the end of the crowd.
Chen Ran glanced at him, "still" inside?Is there anything else to show him?
"Don't you believe me. What I said is true. Otherwise, why do people in our village live so long? And it's not just about living a long time. You see, the old man, my body is not worse than your young people, right? "
"Then since it's God's blood, why is it in your body?" Gao Jin asked.
The expression of the old man who was originally complacent changed, he pretended to be mysterious, "This is something you can't know."
While speaking, he stopped, "Okay, this is what you want to see."
As his voice fell, Chen Ran raised his head and looked in front of them. At some point, they had reached the end of the cave.
The end of the cave is different from the outside. It is a very wide cavity. One side of the cave wall has been artificially polished, and there are murals painted on the entire wall.
The moment he saw the mural clearly, Chen Ran was taken aback.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin looked at Chen Ran, and they were not surprised when they saw the obvious astonishment and surprise on Chen Ran's face, because they were also surprised when they first saw it.
On the mural that has obviously been around for some time, Guodong is coming towards him with a smile on his face, his eyes are clean and clear, his appearance and expression seem to be expressing tenderness and protection.
He hopes that they can be well, eat well, dress warmly, be with the people they like, do what they like, be happy and happy every day.
That Guodong is not the Guodong after taking off the human skin, but the Guodong he met at the beginning, the Guodong when he was wearing the human skin.
His slightly shaggy hair is shaggy even if it is long, which makes him feel slightly shaggy when it is pulled into a bun on the head, which makes people want to pinch it.
He was wearing a robe different from modern ones. The robe was light and gray. He was not cared for delicately like a child from a rich family. He was more like a child in the village, with eyes full of aura.
In the painting, he also looked much younger than the Guodong Chen Ran knew. If calculated by human age, he would be thirteen or fourteen years old at most.
"This is our god." The old man smiled triumphantly.
Chen Ran pursed her thin lips tightly, "Why is his blood in your body?"
The Guodong he knew was no longer a god.
"You..." The old man who was smiling proudly was frightened by the coldness in Chen Ran's eyes. He instinctively took a step back and felt momentary fear.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin didn't speak, they both looked at Guodong in the painting with complicated expressions.
Knowing that Guodong is a ghost, they are surprised, and knowing that Guodong was once a god, they are even more surprised, even more surprised.
Hearing that there would be no additional charge, Guodong was instantly excited. He hurried back to hug his rabbit, and then followed Chen Ran to his room.
In the room, Chen Ran found his clothes and was about to wash up.
Guodong entered the door, put the two little rabbits on the bed, then turned his head to look at Chen Ran's room.
Chen Ran's room has also changed like the living room downstairs. Originally, Chen Ran's room was simple and cold, like a temporary hotel, with almost no personal items in the room.
But it is different now, there are many strange things in the house now.
There are unknown potted plants placed in the corner, and strange books and picture albums placed on the bookcase. Guodong even saw comics in it.
This made Guodong immediately think of the villain painting drawn by Chen Ran that he had seen in the dungeon before, and Chen Ran was going to pick it up?
"Those are Sun Wu's things." Chen Ran said without looking back.
Guodong was surprised.
He was looking around the room, and immediately felt relieved that these things really had the atmosphere of Sun Wu.
"I cleaned up Sun Wu's house." Chen Ran paused when he closed the closet.
People around him died one by one, leaving behind a pile of things. At first he covered everything with a white cloth, but now he has the courage to sort it out carefully.
Chen Ran glanced at Guo Dong, "You see, if you like something, you can take it away."
While speaking, Chen Ran glanced at the green plants beside him.
Sun Wu's home is full of life. He can cook by himself, raise potted plants, and buy some useless things to pile up at home, so much so that he has no place to put the things he brought back from Sun Wu's house.
Guodong looked at the potted plant. He didn't know what kind of plant it was. It grew tall and large leaves, which were very green and very pleasing to look at.
But think about the scene where Hongying and his group lined up to water it every day when he was away, and Guodong gave up again. This is not friendly to the physical and mental development of the plant, and it is easy to scare to death.
Unable to send the potted plants out, Chen Ran went into the bathroom.
Guodong took this opportunity to look through all the extra things in Chen Ran's house. When he found the comics in the bookcase, Guodong couldn't help but be fascinated.
When Chen Ran came out with wet hair, Guo Dong had already been lying on the bed watching for a long time.
Chen Ran took away the manga and drove Guodong into the bathroom.
When Guodong and Rabbit came out of the bathroom, Chen Ran had already read Guodong's comics.
Guodong didn't care to blow his wet hair, so he rushed forward to snatch it back.
Chen Ran didn't give it, and moved away nimbly, asking Guodong to dry his hair first.
Guodong quit and was obsessed with getting back his manga, and the two started grabbing it while talking.
Ten minutes later, the battle ended with Guodong winning.
As the loser, Chen Ran had no choice but to pluck Guodong's hair with annoyed expression. He didn't relieve his anger until he blew Guodong's hair into a chicken coop.
Guodong was furious when he found out, and immediately showed his paws and chased Chen Ran all over the room, trying to turn Chen Ran into a chicken nest.
You come and I toss and toss until ten o'clock at night, the two of them are finally tired from tossing, turn off the light and lie down on the bed.
After playing enough, Guodong lay on the bed, but his mind was extremely clear, and he had no intention of going to sleep at all.
He stared at the roof for a long time with his eyes wide open, but after still not being able to feel sleepy, he looked sideways at Chen Ran beside him.
Chen Ran who fell asleep was very quiet, somewhat like the fake Chen Ran from before.
Looking at Chen Ran's profile in the dark, Guo Dong suddenly remembered the helpless look in the other Chen Ran's eyes when he looked at him before, which made him unable to sleep even more.
"Chen Ran?" Guo Dong said.
Chen Ran remained motionless, breathing long and gently, as if falling asleep.
"Chen Ran?" Guo Dong patted Chen Ran's shoulder lightly with his fingers.
Chen Ran still didn't move.
Guodong lay flat and looked at the roof above, but the roof was not as interesting as Chen Ran, so he quickly turned his head to look at Chen Ran again.
Chen Ran in the darkness was dyed a little bit of night, his outline looked hazy, and the harsh aura on his body became softer.
Guodong's Adam's apple slipped, and approached Chen Ran in the dark. When he got close, the smell of shower gel on Chen Ran's body could be heard, and Guodong's Adam's apple couldn't help sliding.
Even though they both used the same bottle of shower gel, Chen Ran smelled better than his.
Smelling the scent, Guodong almost buried his face in Chen Ran's neck.
"What are you doing?" Chen Ran's voice came.
Guo Dong was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Chen Ran was not asleep at all, and Chen Ran just ignored him on purpose.
"Why shouldn't I call you just now?" Guo Dong asked.
Chen Ran didn't speak again, as if he was extremely sleepy.
Guo Dong flattened his mouth and lay down next to Chen Ran.
After lying down for less than three seconds, Guodong couldn't lie down again, and he turned sideways again to look at Chen Ran.
"Aren't you going tomorrow?" Chen Ran reminded.
Guodong suddenly realized that they were leaving at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, he quickly closed his eyes, but soon opened them again.
Seeing Chen Ran's face so close at hand, the corners of Guodong's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and he was in an unprecedentedly good mood.
"Will you kiss anyone casually?" Guo Dong asked.
Chen Ran, who kept his eyes closed and pretended to be asleep, opened his eyes when he heard the words, "What?"
Guodong lay flat, he stretched the thin quilt to cover his stomach, human beings would suffer from stomach pain if they didn't cover their stomachs when they slept, then he turned over and hugged the two little rabbits beside his pillow, and closed his eyes contentedly. Eyes start to sleep.
Humans don't kiss other humans casually. Chen Ran has such a bad personality, and he is still a crab boss. He doesn't even kiss other people casually, but Chen Ran kissed him twice, so Chen Ran didn't treat him as " Anyone."
To Chen Ran, he was different.
Thinking of this, Guodong closed his eyes and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and finally felt sleepy in his mind.
That feeling was very strange, as if he was soaked in water, but he didn't feel suffocated and uncomfortable, but felt that his whole body was light, comfortable and at ease.
Seeing Guodong hugging his rabbit and going to sleep, Chen Ran, who was made sleepless by Guodong's words, couldn't help raising his head slightly to look at Guodong, what does Guodong mean?
"Guodong?" Chen Ran said.
Guodong was motionless, he was sleepy, and he wanted to sleep.
Chen Ran waited for a while but didn't get a response, he couldn't help frowning and thinking about Guo Dong's meaning, what does it mean if he would kiss anyone?
Who did Guodong regard him as?
And why did Guodong have such an idea?
Did Guodong think he was just joking around?
"Guodong?" Chen Ran was about to have a serious talk with Guodong, he stretched out his hand to break Guodong's shoulder, Guodong turned over in a daze, and stuffed his head into his arms.
Seeing Guodong like this, Chen Ran was dumbfounded.
Pressing all the complicated thoughts in his heart back to his stomach, Chen Ran looked at the face of Guodong who was close at hand, lowered his head, and kissed Guodong's lips lightly.
After the soft kiss ended, Chen Ran lay down next to Guodong, determined to have a good talk with Guodong tomorrow.
The words he'd been meaning to say slipped down his throat and entered his dreams.
At dawn the next day, Chen Rantian woke up at dawn. When he quietly went downstairs to prepare breakfast and then came upstairs, Guodong woke up in a daze, and was sitting cross-legged on the bed making the quilt.
He crumpled the quilt into a round ball and put it next to the pillow.
Chen Ran was amused, unfolded and folded the ball while Guo Dong was washing up, and then led Guo Dong, who was a little more awake, downstairs to eat.
He and Lan Haoyi agreed to meet at noon, and it would take several hours of driving and flying from their side to Lan Haoyi's side.
It was not the first time for Guo Dong to take a plane, but he was still very excited, and he didn't calm down until the plane took off.
The nearly four-hour flight was over, and as soon as Chen Ran came outside with Guo Dong in his hand, he ran into him head-on.
Gao Jin is still in his usual attire, white shirt and suit trousers, wearing glasses with gold-rimmed thin frames, elegant and refined.
"This way." Gao Jin led the two of them towards the airport parking lot.
After coming to a place with a little less people, he approached and spoke again, "Lan Haoyi still has something to deal with at the reception."
Chen Ran didn't mind, but Guo Dong's eyes lit up when he heard the word "reception". Just as he was about to ask what the reception was like, Chen Ran carried him into the car.
Chen Ran still carried his long knife, and his air tickets were booked in the names of members of the organization.
In order to prevent members of the organization from being pulled into the copy suddenly in the car or on the plane, and suddenly disappearing to cause panic, they have special internal permissions.
"Are you going to the hotel or the place to eat first? Lan Haoyi will go directly to the place to eat later." Gao Jin drove the car out of the parking lot, and it was already past eleven o'clock.
It's the hottest season of the year recently, and the sun is so bright that it doesn't cost money. As soon as the car pulls out of the parking lot, the sun can't wait to pour into the car through the window, making Guodong squint his eyes slightly.
Guodong raised his hand to cover it, the sunlight penetrated through his slender white fingers, and his whole hands were illuminated transparently with a bit of red light.
Chen Ran glanced at Guodong's intact wrist, and when he saw Guodong again, the injury on Guodong's hand had healed.
"Eat first." Chen Ran said, going to the hotel first, they still have to go to eat right away, going back and forth too much.
Gao Jin had already expected that the route he chose directly from the beginning was the route to the hotel.
While driving, Gao Jin couldn't help but take a look in the rearview mirror at Guodong who was eager to try.
He was surprised when Chen Ran said that Guodong would also come with him, and at the same time he couldn't help but panic, but soon suppressed it.
"When are we going to the reception?" Guo Dong found an opportunity and hurriedly asked, he had already figured out how much money he could use for investment.
He couldn't help but think of another thing, he turned his head and stretched out his hand to Chen Ran, "Repay my salary and overtime pay!"
Chen Ran slapped Guodong's palm and ignored him.
The person in the front driver's seat approached and laughed.
The car quickly left the airport and entered the city center. Twenty minutes later, they stopped at a seemingly remote "food street" in the city center.
This food street is different from the snack street in the south. There are almost no people on this street, and there are not many shops on both sides of the street, but judging from the inside situation revealed by the glass windows, the restaurants here are all exquisitely decorated.
The car stopped at a retro restaurant with an interesting name, Yuelai Restaurant.
Next to the antique signboard, there is also an antique flag hanging, which is exactly the appearance of a street shop that is indispensable in various costume dramas.
The interior layout of the hotel is different from the exterior. Although it upholds the usual antique style, it does not have the lobby of a small restaurant full of tables and chairs like in TV dramas. The front hall is not too spacious, and there is only one reception desk.
Opposite the front desk is a lounge separated by a bamboo fence. There is a person sitting in the lounge. The person doesn't know whether he is waiting for someone or is in a daze. They can't see clearly who is inside from their angle.
"Let's go to the back." Gao Jin led the way.
"This is also the property of the Lan family. Strictly speaking, it is Lan Haoyi's property. But this is his private place. Except for his own friends, he doesn't bring people from business. He also entertains some other guests here." near introduction.
Guodong turned his head, and when he heard that this was Lan Haoyi's own shop, his heart immediately became sore, "Is it very profitable?"
Does he want to open a restaurant too?
I don't know if Hongying and the others can cook?
Gao Jin had already expected this to happen, he said with a smile: "Lan Haoyi said that today he is the host, you can eat whatever you want." Gao Jin mainly said this to Guo Dong.
Sure enough, when Guodong heard this, he immediately had a vicious expression that would kill Lan Haoyi.
When they came to the private room, they saw Lan Haoyi as soon as they entered the door.
002.
After a few pleasantries, they handed over the menu to Guodong, and immediately sat down at the table.
"How's Li Zhuofeng doing?" Lan Haoyi asked.
Gao Jin wanted to ask about this a long time ago, "Is he all right?"
Chen Ran also looked at Guodong.
Guo Dong, who was determined to eat up Lan Haoyi, was busy ordering food while lying on the order tablet, and stopped, he lost interest in ordering food in an instant, and his face was a little more lonely.
Seeing Guo Dong's expression, the three of Chen Ran couldn't help but sit up straight, they had a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Not good." Guo Dong said.
"Not good? What is bad..."
"The anger in him is very weak, and it is getting weaker and weaker. It has something to do with the other him in the dungeon. That him should have been dying before. I have never seen this kind of situation before. Half of him is dying, and half of him is dying." He is still alive." Guo Dong said.
The three were dumbfounded.
After a pause, Guodong still truthfully told what he felt from Li Zhuofeng, "He himself has no intention of living."
Just like Sun Wu and Mo Ran, Li Zhuofeng didn't have a strong desire to stay.It was precisely because Li Zhuofeng didn't feel the drive to survive no matter what, that's why he felt sad when he went to the hospital to see Li Zhuofeng.
Hearing Guo Dong's words, Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin couldn't help being startled, and even Chen Ran raised his eyebrows, and then the three of them fell silent.
They didn't know Li Zhuofeng before, so they felt that Li Zhuofeng was probably the most normal person among all of them.Now that they understand, they don't know how to comment on Li Zhuofeng.
Li Zhuofeng, who grew up in that environment, probably used up all his courage when he broke away from that family.
However, he mustered up the courage to live, but life did not treat him kindly. Instead, it frustrated him time and time again, making him wonder whether he was really a jealous, vicious person.
Lan Haoyi broke the silence, "Is there no way?"
After a pause, Lan Haoyi said a little arrogantly: "Even if he really wants to die, he should die when he is sober, instead of dying in such a vague way."
Guodong looked at Lan Haoyi, hesitated for a moment, and didn't speak again.
The room fell silent again.
Guodong lowered his head to look at the menu in front of him. He was originally in high spirits, but now he is also absent-minded. He randomly selected some dishes and clicked Submit.
After the clerk came to confirm, the food they ordered was delivered soon.
Looking at the table full of dishes, Lan Haoyi and Jianjin had no choice but to remain silent because of Li Zhuofeng's matter.
After the meal, they approached Guodong and Chen Ran to the hotel.
"The reception starts at seven o'clock in the evening, and we will come over at six o'clock." Lan Haoyi said in the car, and he took a special look at Chen Ran while speaking.
Chen Ran nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
At six o'clock in the evening, Gao Jin and Lan Haoyi arrived as scheduled, and they brought Guodong and the others two new suits. The reception at night is not for ordinary people.
After changing their clothes, the four of them headed towards the place where the reception was held.
The venue of the reception looks like a private house, with a clear and shallow pool where fish are raised, and a rockery with a pine tree that is trying to stick out its branches. It feels peaceful and zen.
When he arrived at the place, after Lan Haoyi led Guodong and Chen Ran in, he was quickly caught talking by the oncoming people.
Approaching seemed to be a habit, he looked around, and led Guodong and Chen Ran aside to find a place to sit.
Looking into the courtyard, there are two rows of long buffet tables against the wall in the hall of the house. Looking at the pile of red seafood and various meals above, Guodong's Adam's apple couldn't help but slide.
"The meeting will officially start at nine o'clock. Before that, you can eat whatever you want, and you can also talk to other people." He approached, "But don't go too far."
The last sentence was a reminder to Chen Ran.
After explaining, Gao Jin was about to head towards Lan Haoyi, and he stopped after taking two steps.
Chen Ran followed his gaze. On the opposite side of the hall, in the corner of the unoccupied sofa, a man about their age was looking down at the wine glass in front of him.
"What?" Chen Ran asked.
"It's nothing..." Gao Jin frowned, then sighed again.
Gao Jin walked towards Lan Haoyi, Chen Ran glanced at the man again, and when he turned back to look at Guodong, Guodong had disappeared, and he immediately looked towards the buffet table, as expected, Guodong didn't know why already ran over there.
Guodong took an oversized plate and was about to take the lobster from the dining table.
Chen Ran rubbed the bridge of his nose, he was relieved while having a headache, at least he didn't have to worry about how he would steal it later.
Maybe he went and came back, and Guodong didn't even notice that he was gone.Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ran didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.
Chen Ran found a place to sit down, and just as he closed his eyes to rest his mind, Guo Dong came over with two full plates.
"This is yours." Guodong gave half of it to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran opened his eyes, looked at the hill in front of him, and the expression on his face softened immediately, "Are you going to hang yourself here?"
"If you don't eat, give it back to me." Guo Dong reached out to grab the plate, but luckily he even specially took one for Chen Ran.
Chen Ran blocked Guodong's hand, "Who said I won't eat."
When Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin entered the door, they saw Guo Dong sitting in front of the sofa from a distance, eating and drinking.
Looking at the mountains of plates in front of the two of them, Lan Haoyi had black lines all over his head. Forget about Guo Dong, why did Chen Ran get excited?
Just as he was about to go there, out of the corner of his eye, he saw another sofa next to him, and saw the man on the sofa staring at the red wine in his hand in a daze, Lan Haoyi's smiling face couldn't help but froze.
"Shall I call them over?" Gao Jin suggested.
Lan Haoyi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, leaning on a cane, he walked towards Guodong and the others.
He tried to straighten his body, but his injured leg never allowed him to walk like a normal person.Every time the crutch in his hand fell to the ground, there would be a crisp sound, and the sound attracted many people's attention, including the man sitting on the other sofa next to Guodong and the others.
Seeing Lan Haoyi walking towards him, the man holding the red wine turned pale for a while.
He put the wine on the table, picked it up again after thinking about it, his lips quivered, trying to say something, but in the end nothing came out.
Seeing Lan Haoyi sitting down beside Guodong and the others, he was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked away.
Guodong also noticed that person, which made him feel strange, he looked at Lan Haoyi beside him, "Do you know each other?"
Lan Haoyi's tense body slowly relaxed after the man went out with the wine glass. He glanced at Guodong with a complicated and bewildered expression.
Seeing that Lan Haoyi didn't seem ready to answer, Guodong lowered his head and continued to fight with the big lobster on his plate.
Just when Guodong was eating vigorously, Lan Haoyi's voice came, and he patted his injured leg, "He is my former friend. He is the one who limped my leg."
Listening to Lan Haoyi's words, the three of Guodong raised their heads in surprise.
Guodong and Chen Ran had heard about Lan Haoyi's injury long ago, but they didn't know the specifics of what happened. Lan Haoyi suddenly mentioned it, and they were inevitably surprised.
The surprise of approaching was different from the two, he had already known the existence of that person, he was just surprised that he could hear this from Lan Haoyi's mouth one day, and the "lame" in Lan Haoyi's mouth Character.
Lan Haoyi has always been a person with strong self-esteem, he will never allow anyone to look down on him, and the injured leg is the biggest stain in his life, it is indeed the biggest smile in his life who is so proud point.
Those who looked down on the Lan family and him talked a lot about this matter.
"I am the only heir of the Lan family. I was coaxed to grow up by people in the family. I am very aware of this, but I never think it is a problem, because I think I can afford the difference." Lan Hao Yi smiled mockingly, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or others.
"Many people have advised me not to be too arrogant, thinking that I should restrain myself and be humble, but I think they are just jealous."
"Why does a person who is already standing on the top of the mountain pretend that he is still at the foot of the mountain? Just because others think he should? Instead of pretending to join the crowd, I spend my time looking at the scenery on the top of the mountain, looking at the distance and seeing more Isn't it good to be high?"
"Of all the people, only he can understand what I mean and understand me."
"I thought he could understand me, so I was willing to share everything with him. I told him about the things I didn't like and the people I didn't like. I was also willing to help him. I could make the projects his family wanted The family names his house, and I can give him whatever he wants."
Lan Haoyi paused, he looked at Chen Ran who was sitting opposite, but his eyes didn't focus on Chen Ran's face.
He stroked his leg that was still aching so far, with a complicated and mocking expression, but there was no anger in it.
"Then one day, he was hit by a car." Lan Haoyi looked at Chen Ran and Guo Dong.
Chen Ran watched quietly, only planning to be a quiet listener.
Guodong kept looking back and forth between him and the big lobster in front of him, and his heart also floated back and forth.He thought he should listen to Lan Haoyi carefully, but the lobster was really delicious.
Lan Haoyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his originally heavy heart suddenly became relaxed.
He also suddenly understood why he could easily say these things that he had never said before to outsiders in front of these two people.
Because Guo Dong and Chen Ran don't know how to laugh at him, they don't think he's sick, they just think he talks too much and disturbs them from eating lobster...
"At that time, I was very angry and angry. I didn't understand why I was betrayed. I confessed my heart to him, but he betrayed me and even wanted to kill me. Coupled with the gloating and ridiculing around me, I felt that life would be worse than death, too. During that time, I was pulled into the dungeon."
"But now I sort of understand..."
The only thing he is grateful for now is that after the accident, he did not agree with the Lan family's arrangement in extreme anger, and he paid for it with blood.Instead, he chose to pretend that there was no such thing, that he had just had a car accident by accident.
Thinking about it now, maybe at that time he already understood that his so-called "disdain to pretend" and "goodwill help" were just excuses to keep hurting his only friend.
Lan Haoyi got up, he looked at Chen Ran, who immediately understood.
Chen Ran wiped his hands and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Guodong raised his head.
"There is something in the organization, I need to talk to him alone." Lan Haoyi said.
Guodong looked at the two of them with the eyes of a fool, "You can also chat here."
Lan Haoyi looked at Chen Ran, he was gone.
"The reception is about to start, are you sure you're not here to listen to other people talking about this project?" Chen Ran raised his lips, "You can come with me if you want, then let's go."
The smile on Guodong's face, who was looking at the idiot just now, froze. He looked at the people around him, with obvious hesitation on his face.
"Let's go." Chen Ran urged.
Guodong looked at Chen Ran, and then at the crowds gathering around him.
"Let's go?" Chen Ran had already walked outside the sofa.
"I still won't go." Guo Dong turned to the reception with a heart.
Chen Ran looked at Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin who also looked helpless, the three of them shook their heads and walked towards the door.
When the three of them came to the door and looked back, Guodong, who was eating happily just now, had already left the sofa.
Holding a small notebook, he secretly looked at the people around him, as if he was thinking about where to find out the business secrets so that he could make a lot of money.
The three looked at each other helplessly and left silently.
Leave the reception and go outside.
Lan Haoyi and Chen Ran waited at the intersection, and approached to pick up the car.
After getting into the car, Lan Haoyi said again when the car drove all the way to the outside of the city, "What are you going to do?"
Leaning against the glass window, looking at the receding neon lights outside the window, Chen Ran was puzzled.
"After you know."
Chen Ran looked out of the window again.
Lan Haoyi hesitated, not knowing whether he should open the mouth, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said: "What if we know?"
Just like him, even if he now knows how much he used to go too far, it is impossible for him to apologize, and it is impossible for the other party to come to apologize to her, and then the two of them will pretend that nothing happened, just like before good friends.
"If I ask, he should also tell me." Chen Ran said.
His voice was so soft that it was almost drowned out by the sound of traffic.
Listening to his words, Lan Haoyi and Jia Jin in the car were taken aback for a moment.
Immediately, the two looked at each other in the rearview mirror, their expressions became distorted, Chen Ran deserves a beating?
"But I don't want to ask." Chen Ran said.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin, who had distorted faces just now, were both silent.
No one spoke on the road until the car drove all the way out of the urban area and entered the mountains outside the urban area. It seemed remote, but it was not a corner of the mountain, at least it was connected to the highway.
After driving forward for another twenty minutes, the car got off the expressway and headed towards the mountains.
After walking through a narrow and dark mountain road, the world gradually became lively again.
Under the night, when the car drove into the village, he saw the sign of the resort flashing by at the intersection, Chen Ran couldn't help sitting up straight and glanced at Lan Haoyi beside him, "Resort?"
When approaching and contacting him, his tone was serious and complicated, and he was told to come over in person. He had guessed many possibilities along the way, and even made the worst plans, but he never thought that the two would bring him to the resort.
"Well, it's quite a famous resort." Lan Haoyi said, "Maybe you've heard the name before."
Chen Ran's eyes as deep as the deep sea were stirred by doubts, and he became more and more confused about what Lan Haoyi and Jiajin were doing?
Soon, the car stopped in front of a farmhouse type hotel.
After getting out of the car, Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin went into the yard in front of them familiarly, and communicated with the people in the house.
Chen Ran was left in the car.
It was not the first time for Lan Haoyi and the others to come here, and they had obviously made an agreement before, so the people in the house quickly went out enthusiastically, wondering where to take them.
Gao Jin knocked on the car window, and Chen Ran got out of the car with his long knife to follow.
The people in the small courtyard seemed to be the village chief or the secretary, and they had some prestige in the village. When leading Lan Haoyi and the others through the village, many people took the initiative to say hello to them.
Listening to the conversation between the two sides, Chen Ran quickly understood the excuses Lan Haoyi and the others used. The two used the "construction and development" method that Li Zhuofeng often fooled people.
Seeing what Chen Ran was thinking, Lan Haoyi's face was instantly embarrassed. He explained, "This village is already engaged in tourism, and the Lan family also intends to develop in this area recently, so let's take a look..."
While talking, they had walked out of the village and came to a mountain behind the village.
The mountain is not too high, but it is very broad, and the side facing the village is a straight cliff.
I can't see the whole mountain clearly at night, but I think the scenery will not be too bad.
"This way." The person who led the way greeted, he didn't bring a few people up the mountain, but led them towards the cliff.
After walking through a narrow stone path, they came to the entrance of a cave in front of the cliff.
The entrance of the cave is very secret, and most people wouldn't notice it unless someone leads the way.
The entrance of the cave is also very large, at least three or four meters in diameter, and it is not a problem for several people to enter side by side.The space inside is very large, and judging from the echoes, it is estimated that it can accommodate thousands of people.
"I'll turn on a light." The leader walked to the side of the cave while speaking, and a few seconds later, a series of light bulbs lit up in the cave.
The lightbulbs are drawn by the villagers themselves, which are not as good as the lighting in special tourist attractions. Under the light of the lightbulbs, the caves are alternately light and dark. Some places are a bit eerie and scary, but this does not affect their vision.
After approaching and exchanging a few words with the guide, the guide began to introduce this place to Chen Ran.
"How old do you think I am?" Chen Ran was taken aback by the first sentence the guide said.
Chen Ran looked at him, and it was at this time that he noticed that the guide was older than he thought before.
He had noticed before that the person leading the way was an old man with gray hair, but he thought he was only in his 50s.
Now that he took a closer look, he found that the muscles on the other person's face were dry and slack, and his face was full of age spots. Although his eyes were bright, he was definitely not in his fifties.
On the contrary, he looked like the daughter-in-law of the village chief's family in Shenyou Village.
"sixty?"
The guide who was still complacent was stunned for a moment, "You are still the first one to guess right among so many people."
While speaking, the old man turned his head and led them to continue walking into the cave.
"Our village is called Changshou Village, and this mountain is called Changshou Mountain. From the name, you should know the characteristics of our village. That's right, the people in our village live very long lives." Speaking of his pride, the guide laughed. laugh.
"I'm not lying to you. The longest people in our village have lived to be more than 140 years old. There are old men and old women like me who are in their sixties and can work in the fields. Because of this, many people from outside come here. We live here, just want to eat and drink the same as us, to see if we can live longer..."
"Tell me about this cave." He reminded.
Seeing that his topic was off track, the guide quickly brought it back, "The longevity of our village is not because of the special things we eat and drink, but because of the blood of God in our bodies."
Hearing these familiar words, Chen Ran was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to Shenyou Village, and the wife of the village chief's family had the same tone and expression when she said this.
He also kind of understood the reason why Gao Jin had to let him come here by himself, this was clearly another "Divine Blessing Village".
"It's still inside." Lan Haoyi reminded, he walked slowly, so he walked at the end of the crowd.
Chen Ran glanced at him, "still" inside?Is there anything else to show him?
"Don't you believe me. What I said is true. Otherwise, why do people in our village live so long? And it's not just about living a long time. You see, the old man, my body is not worse than your young people, right? "
"Then since it's God's blood, why is it in your body?" Gao Jin asked.
The expression of the old man who was originally complacent changed, he pretended to be mysterious, "This is something you can't know."
While speaking, he stopped, "Okay, this is what you want to see."
As his voice fell, Chen Ran raised his head and looked in front of them. At some point, they had reached the end of the cave.
The end of the cave is different from the outside. It is a very wide cavity. One side of the cave wall has been artificially polished, and there are murals painted on the entire wall.
The moment he saw the mural clearly, Chen Ran was taken aback.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin looked at Chen Ran, and they were not surprised when they saw the obvious astonishment and surprise on Chen Ran's face, because they were also surprised when they first saw it.
On the mural that has obviously been around for some time, Guodong is coming towards him with a smile on his face, his eyes are clean and clear, his appearance and expression seem to be expressing tenderness and protection.
He hopes that they can be well, eat well, dress warmly, be with the people they like, do what they like, be happy and happy every day.
That Guodong is not the Guodong after taking off the human skin, but the Guodong he met at the beginning, the Guodong when he was wearing the human skin.
His slightly shaggy hair is shaggy even if it is long, which makes him feel slightly shaggy when it is pulled into a bun on the head, which makes people want to pinch it.
He was wearing a robe different from modern ones. The robe was light and gray. He was not cared for delicately like a child from a rich family. He was more like a child in the village, with eyes full of aura.
In the painting, he also looked much younger than the Guodong Chen Ran knew. If calculated by human age, he would be thirteen or fourteen years old at most.
"This is our god." The old man smiled triumphantly.
Chen Ran pursed her thin lips tightly, "Why is his blood in your body?"
The Guodong he knew was no longer a god.
"You..." The old man who was smiling proudly was frightened by the coldness in Chen Ran's eyes. He instinctively took a step back and felt momentary fear.
Lan Haoyi and Gao Jin didn't speak, they both looked at Guodong in the painting with complicated expressions.
Knowing that Guodong is a ghost, they are surprised, and knowing that Guodong was once a god, they are even more surprised, even more surprised.
