Chapter 40 Lies
Xiao Lehui came back, but he came back empty-handedly. Seeing his frowning look, he knew that he was not looking for Uncle Guo.
"Didn't you borrow a knife?" Xiaotong had not thought about the disappearance of Uncle Guo. But Wu Fei vaguely felt something. With Uncle Guo's mature skills, he would never leave the three of them for no reason and disappeared. He must have discovered something, and what he discovered was extremely dangerous. This was the case that he had dealt with it alone without notifying the three of them. He might not have expected that Xiaole would find him to borrow a knife because of a golden pheasant and found out that his absence was not present.
Xiaole shook his head, he was not going to tell Xiaotong that he had not found Uncle Guo.
Xiaotong was heartless. He didn't notice anything unusual about Xiaole, but Wu Fei was different. He had already guessed that Uncle Guo might be missing and kept staring at Xiaole, trying to find something from his expression, but apart from the trouble, Xiaole didn't look like an insider.
Where did Uncle Guo go? Wu Fei would not ask this question stupidly. Although he knew very well that with Uncle Guo's skills, there should be no problem, but seeing Xiaole's frown at the same time made him feel a little worried.
Uncle Guo brought him and Xiaole Xiaotong out, was he just walking and marching? Did he just want to take the opportunity to come to Zhaojiazhuang to meet Captain Wu? Surely not, Wu Fei made a judgment in his mind. Since he couldn't ask, he could only guess and infer Uncle Guo's whereabouts. Wu Fei is a smart person. The purpose of Uncle Guo taking him out was the first to come out. Just as he thought, Uncle Guo brought him and Xiaole Xiaotong out, and it would never be possible that he would just go aimlessly. Since this is the case, his disappearance is very likely a test. He wanted to see what the reaction would be when he and Xiaole Xiaotong suddenly had a situation, or he wanted to see who could take the initiative to take responsibility in an emergency.
If he could stand up and take Xiaole and Xiaotong safely back to Ermashan, would Uncle Guo be shocked? Thinking of this, Wu Feile made up his mind and wanted to be the leader.
"Xiaole, Xiaotong, the chicken is no longer enough now. Let's take a few bites of roasted buns and eat them casually. Let's go back to Ermashan."
Wu Fei did not directly talk about his guesses, but expressed his purpose as if he was chatting.
When Xiaole heard Wu Fei's words, he seemed to be shocked, and his eyes were extremely complicated. However, Xiaotong was disappointed when he heard that he could not roast chicken and said that he could not eat it: "You can't even eat chicken in front of you, and you have to chew steamed buns, alas."
"Can't we still get it after we go back?" Wu Fei asked Xiaole to look at it a little guilty, and did not avoid his gaze, pretending to comfort Xiaotong.
"Aren't we waiting for Mr. Guo?" Xiaotong only remembered that there was someone else, which shows how big his experience was.
Wu Fei didn't think about how to answer this question, so he turned to Xiaole again. From his eyes, Wu Fei could see that he also wanted to ask this question.
"Uncle Guo has something to do and has left first. He wants the three of us to go back by ourselves."
Wu Fei was very helpless. After thinking for a while, the post office did not find any good excuses, so he had to treat them as a living horse and deceive them like coaxing children.
"Oh." Xiaotong didn't realize that this was an excuse for making up casually. His getting along with Wu Fei these days made him think of Wu Fei as his own person, and he never thought that he would fool him.
However, Xiaole's eyebrows were locked deeper, and the worry on his face was even more obvious. Although he couldn't speak, Wu Fei could clearly feel his question from his eyes.
"Eat first." Wu Fei did not dare to face his questioning gaze, and rushed to pull out steamed buns from his dry food bag.
The more Wu Fei was like this, the more he felt guilty. Xiao Le had a little bit of a pretext for believing him, but when he saw his expression, he understood everything. He walked to Xiaotong, gestured to him, and finally pointed his hand at Wu Fei.
When Xiaole did these movements, Wu Fei kept observing them secretly. He was not afraid of anything, but he was worried that Xiaole would mistakenly think that he wanted to leave Uncle Guo, and at that moment he had the impulse to tell him about his guess.
"Xiao Le said, we can't throw Mr. Guo away, he..." Xiaotong translated Xiao Le's words, but after saying a sentence, he suddenly realized the meaning of the words, turned his head and asked Xiao Le: "What's wrong with Mr. Guo?"
Xiaole shook his head and said he didn't know. He looked at Wu Fei again, and no one could see his inner anxiety.
"I don't know either." Wu Fei had to answer truthfully. The lie had been discovered, but the little bump in Wu Fei's heart was untied. He was a little guilty because of this kind-hearted lie, but now he could explain it to them openly.
Xiaotong was not confused about why Wu Fei lied to him, but continued to translate what he hadn't finished just now: "Xiao Le said, we can't just go back like this. The dangers of Mr. Guo cannot be ruled out. We cannot treat it as if we don't have him."
Wu Fei could hear Xiaole's meaning. Although Xiaotong's translation was not so clear, he could still understand that he said that no matter whether Uncle Guo was in danger or not, whether Uncle Guo was deliberately testing them, going back was not the best choice.
After Xiaole said this, Wu Fei immediately realized that he was very sure that Uncle Guo's separation was a test, but he did not think about why Uncle Guo wanted to test them. As Xiaole said, no matter whether it was a test or not, returning to Ermashan was the worst choice. Since he was deliberately testing, he would definitely observe in secret. No matter what result he wanted to see in the end, he would eventually give each of the three of them a judgment and conclusion. It can be said that Uncle Guo's approach this time will definitely have a great impact on future training, life, Yi or other aspects. He must show his due strength and ability in this test, and show better than or far stronger Xiaole and Xiaotong. This is the most important and necessary.
"What should we do now?" Xiaotong spoke again. This time he was not translating Xiaole's words, but what he was thinking in his heart.
Needless to say, Wu Fei would think about what to do next. He glanced at Xiaole, but found that his eyes had been on him and had not moved away. It seemed that like Xiaotong, he placed hope and decision-making power on his own. Don’t think about whether he really didn’t know, or that he didn’t find that Uncle Guo was originally a double act he and Uncle Guo sang together. Wu Fei knew that no matter whether he wanted to or not, he must stand up and act as the lead.
