Chapter 42: Looking for someone
In the ancient town, Su Mang and his group stayed in the largest guesthouse in the local area under the leadership of the local person in charge. Because there was no development here at all, there were no star-rated hotels, and the conditions for the guesthouse were relatively simple.
Gu Yuan looked at the guesthouse and said with some emotion: "Hey, if Brother Chu is here, such a guesthouse will definitely be able to pick out a lot of problems."
Dong Jiajia also said: "Yes, such as this kind of transportation, and the random potted plants on the ground, which makes it easy to trip up the guests if they are not aesthetically pleasing."
"Okay, Zheng Chu is not here. Next, according to the previous division of labor, Jia Jia, go and see if there are any suitable hotels around, which can solve the accommodation problems of the tour guide and tourists. Aila, go and Gu Yuan to solve the problem of team dining."
Dong Jiajia asked worriedly: "Mr. Su, do you go to find the Shunwang Temple by yourself? Otherwise, let Gu Yuan accompany you?"
"No, I'll go by myself, you guys hurry up and take action."
After renting a car nearby, Su Mang, he followed the instructions of the nearby people and drove to the road to Shunwang Temple more than 20 kilometers away from the guesthouse. The road was bumpy, not flat at all, and it was difficult to walk on. The roadside was covered with weeds. Su Mang could only hope that after setting up a tourist route, he could build a good road in the future.
But for some reason, a motorcycle suddenly appeared from the front and drove past Su Mang's car and almost hit it.
In order to avoid the motorcycle, Su Mang suddenly turned on the steering wheel and directly entered the woods on one side. The car seemed to trip up something and turned off the engine.
Su Mang could only get off the car and see it, but he didn't know what was wrong. He wanted to call the repair shop, but found that there was no signal at all.
Su Mang looked at the sky and it was almost dark now. He didn't have a village or a shop in front of him, and lived alone in the car. No matter how he looked, he felt it was unsafe.
She had no choice but to contact others. She was so nervous that she couldn't do it, but she didn't dare to get out of the car and go to another place. She could only expect someone to pass by and save her.
At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Zhao Shucheng. If Zhao Shucheng hadn't resigned, she would definitely come here with her. Maybe she could repair the car and she wouldn't have to sleep overnight in the wilderness. She didn't have to worry about having no food or drink, and she might even have to starve and freeze at night.
Because Su Mang was not staring at him, Gu Yuan let himself go. While going to find a place to eat with Ella, he sent a message on his circle of friends about where he had come.
Zhao Shucheng accidentally saw Gu Yuan’s news, contacted him directly on WeChat, and asked him why he came to Shaoxing.
When Zhao Shucheng heard that Su Mang and his group were here, he felt something was wrong and called Su Mang directly, but he prompted that no one answered the call and the signal was not in the service area.
This reminded Zhao Shucheng of the story of Su Mang and Zheng Chu sleeping in the wilderness in the original plot. He originally thought that after he resigned, Su Mang would not be so unlucky, but now it seems that he is still unlucky as usual.
Zhao Shucheng then called Gu Yuan: "Hey, Xiao Gu, can you contact Su Mang?"
Gu Yuan was curious about why Zhao Shucheng looked for Su Mang, but he still said, "Brother Chu, I'll contact Mr. Su later."
"Okay, I've gotten in touch, call me and say."
After a while, Gu Yuan called: "Brother Chu, Mr. Su can't contact you anymore."
"Do you know where she went?"
"She went to the ancient town with us to inspect and went to Shunwang Temple alone."
Zhao Shucheng thought for a while and found information about Shunwang Temple in his mind. As a person who grew up in Shaoxing, he also knew about Shunwang Temple.
"Okay, please continue to contact Su Mang and tell me if you have any news."
After Zhao Shucheng hung up the phone, he put on his coat and prepared to go out.
After seeing this, Chen Shanshan asked, "Shucheng, what are you doing?"
"I have something to go out, and I may not come back tonight. You can stay at home."
Chen Shanshan thought Zhao Shucheng was a party with classmates in her hometown, so she didn't take it seriously and said, "Okay, you go early and come back soon!"
After Zhao Shucheng rented a car, he headed straight to Shunwang Temple.
When I drove to the road from the ancient town to Shunwang Temple, I saw that it was still a dirt road, Zhao Shucheng was somewhat worried about Su Mang's current situation.
On the way, I encountered a car parked on the road. I looked at it and found that there was no one in the car. This should be the car that Su Mang drove, but I just don’t know where Su Mang is now.
"Su Mang!"
Zhao Shucheng shouted loudly, but there was no response. He could only call Su Mang while driving.
After the car drove out a long distance, just as Zhao Shucheng was not hoping and was about to go to the village in front to see it, he heard someone shouting, "I'm here!"
When Zhao Shucheng heard the sound, he saw Su Mang standing next to a telephone pole with a branch in a mess.
When Zhao Shucheng drove to Su Mang and got out of the car, Su Mang directly threw himself into Zhao Shucheng's arms: "Zheng Chu!"
"Okay, I'm here, it's all right!"
Su Mang then reacted and left Zhao Shucheng directly, looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously, and asked, "Zheng Chu, why are you here? You are not following me, right?"
"What are you thinking? I'm going back to my hometown, my hometown is Shaoxing. I saw Gu Yuan's WeChat Moments. When I saw you coming to Shaoxing, I couldn't get through even if I called you. I knew that something must have happened. I should have come to a place without signals. I'm here to see you."
"You said you are the same. You dare to run around alone. What should you do if I don't come?"
Su Mangke didn't care about this anymore and said tiredly: "Zheng Chu, do you have any food in your car? I'm hungry."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Yes, there are some biscuits and bread in the car. You can eat a little first, let's go back first."
Su Mang looked at his phone and said, "Ah, you still have to go back? I've come so far. If I go back, will I run away in vain?"
"What else do you want?"
Su Mang smiled and said, "You see you have a car, otherwise we can go directly to Shunwang Temple and help me see if it is worth becoming a tourist attraction."
"Forget it, there is no place to stay near Shunwang Temple. Do you want to sleep with me in the wilderness overnight? Besides, at this time, do you think Shunwang Temple still has a door open?"
After hearing this, Su Mang hesitated for a moment and could only say, "Okay, let's go back!"
"It would be great if I listen to people's advice to have enough food. You should come with your colleagues. Maybe other people can see some bright spots where you didn't see."
"You're going to be long-winded, drive your car!"
When Zhao Shucheng drove back to the ancient town guesthouse with Su Mang, Gu Yuan and others were anxious because they couldn't contact Su Mang.
After receiving the call from Zhao Shucheng, Gu Yuan couldn't contact Su Mang, and he couldn't contact Su Mang when he found others. Later, he called Zhao Shucheng, but he couldn't contact him even after receiving it, but he was so anxious that he was very worried about this group of people.
Seeing Su Mang and Zhao Shucheng come back together, although they are curious about why Zhao Shucheng is here, Ella said anxiously: "Mr. Su, you are back. You don't know how worried we can't contact you."
"I'm sorry, I've worried everyone. My car broke down halfway, and the phone has no signal.
Dong Jiajia asked, "Mr. Su, we only care about one thing, that is, how Brother Chu found you, it wouldn't be you..."
Su Mang felt a little shy inside, and made his expression cold and said, "Zheng Chu is going back to his hometown. He happened to see me halfway through, so he brought me back. Zheng Chu, don't you still have to go home, you can go first!"
Zhao Shucheng looked at Gu Yuan and his party and said, "Okay, since you are all here, I'll leave first!"
Gu Yuan said, "No, Brother Chu, since you left the job, we haven't been together for a long time. Otherwise, we'll get together tonight, have dinner, sing, how about it?"
"Yes, this is not bad, Mr. Su, what do you think?"
Hearing Ella say this, Su Mang looked at the other people’s expectations, then looked at Zhao Shucheng, and said, “What are you gathering together? Don’t forget what you are here for. If you really want to have a party, the demons will have a chance to do later.”
Seeing that Su Mang said this, Gu Yuan and others couldn't say anything else.
Seeing Zhao Shucheng driving away, Su Mang didn't know how he felt for a moment. He was reluctant and nostalgic, but more angry. He was just talking. Why couldn't Zheng Chu hold on for a while? Maybe he would agree.
Gu Yuan and others gave each other a look, looked at Su Mang, and then looked at the direction where Zhao Shucheng left, all guessing how far Su Mang and Zhao Shucheng had reached.
Chen Shanshan originally thought that Zhao Shucheng would not come back tonight, but when she heard the knock on the door and saw Zhao Shucheng appearing outside the door, she was still very happy and said, "Why are you back?"
"Of course I'm here to accompany you. How can I feel at ease if I leave you alone?"
Even though Chen Shanshan knew that Zhao Shucheng might just be lying to her, she was still very happy to hear such words.
"Shucheng, what do you think about your parents going to the Demon City? It's somewhat inappropriate to squeeze in the same room with the old man."
Zhao Shucheng hugged Chen Shanshan and lay on the bed, saying, "Don't worry about this. If they really go to the Demon City, we'll buy a new house at that time. But I don't think they will go to the Demon City so soon, don't worry."
"Um!"
Chen Shanshan felt a little relieved when she heard Zhao Shucheng say this, because she was really worried that if she lived in the same place with Zhao Shucheng's parents, it would be fine if she had a short time, but over time, some of her behavioral habits would be exposed, not to mention that her living habits might be different from Zhao Shucheng's parents. It would be bad if there was a conflict.
