The next morning, before dawn, everyone got up and packed their luggage to prepare for departure.

Zhuangzi was so sleepy that he didn't eat the breakfast cooked by Uncle Wen. Even when he got up, Zhuo Zhan and Duan Fei dragged him out of bed.

After bidding farewell to Uncle Wen, the five of them hurried to the Capital Airport and took a three-and-a-half-hour flight to Yangcheng.

At this time, Yangcheng was only wearing a single coat. Everyone changed into single clothes in the airport bathroom, and took the thick clothes they changed into, along with mobile phones, keys, headphones, etc. with metal components, to store them. They only brought the luggage bag given by Uncle Wen.

and a small amount of cash.

We didn't have much time, so we all traveled non-stop, taking the high-speed train from Yangcheng to Qingyuan, and then taking a train from Qingyuan to Lianshui.

Lianshui County belongs to the northwest region of Guangdong. Although it has been renamed Lianshui City, it is still a county. The economy is not developed, and most of the surrounding areas are mountainous and forested areas. The roads along the way are lush with vegetation and the mountains are rolling. It can be considered a county.

The scenery is beautiful.

But no matter how good the scenery is, you will get tired of looking at it all the time. Time without mobile phones is always boring and unbearable. In addition, the bumpy journey and sudden change of soil and water make everyone feel uncomfortable.

Duan Yue was so uncomfortable that he covered his mouth with a handkerchief, fearing that he would spit it out at any time. Jiang Xueyan, who was also a girl, was calm and composed, just leaning against the window with her eyes closed to rest.

"Damn, those beef buns we had at the airport at noon are almost falling apart. Hey, let me tell you, are we going to suffer like this every weekend from now on?" Zhuangzi turned to ask Zhuo Zhan, his face twisted in pain.

The eight-fold dog ignores the buns.

"What's wrong? Do you regret it?"

"That's not true. It's just that I spent the previous weekend too arrogantly with my husband, with food, animation, and games as my companions. It's just that I'm not used to being exposed to suffering all of a sudden."

Zhuangzi actually felt a little bit regretful in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it directly. He was afraid that if he did, they wouldn't bring Zhuo Zhan next time.

"Master Zhuang, I still know how to make choices. I am determined to go with you this time. No, I gave up on the Comic Expo in Xidan over the weekend."

"The Imperial City Comic Expo happens more than a dozen times a year. It doesn't matter if you miss it once. I'll go with you next time." Zhuo Zhan twisted his neck and turned his shoulders. He also sat unbearably stiff.

"Duan Fei, what about you? I remember that your football team has activities every weekend?"

"I have made arrangements for the football team. The games are all organized by Zhang Chen, who is a sophomore in high school. The captaincy will be handed over to him next Wednesday. There are not many student activities that seniors can participate in. Now it is time to let them go.

Let go, hand over and release early." Duan Fei took a deep breath and said tiredly.

"Duan Fei, I want to play football. When you get back, come play a good game with me." After Zhuo Zhan finished speaking, he took a deep breath and turned his head to look out the window so that no one could see the smile on his lips.

"No problem! When we get back, we will go to the stadium behind Times Square to play. There are fewer people there."

Duan Fei was very pleasantly surprised. He did not expect that Zhuo Zhan would make such a request at this time. From the bottom of his heart, he was happy for Zhuo Zhan to come out of the gloom.

This is a brother, there is no nonsense, I will wait silently when you don’t need me, and I will go all out when you need me.

Duan Yue, who was feeling uncomfortable, suddenly cheered up, glanced at Zhuo Zhan happily, and then snickered and made a victory gesture towards Duan Fei.

Zhuangzi also turned around and winked at the Duan brothers and sisters. Zhuo Zhan's words became the happiest point for everyone along the way.

"We've arrived at the station, let's get off the bus!"

The driver's words woke up the whole car like an alarm clock, and the three-hour bumpy journey was finally over.

It was already evening when we arrived at Lianshui Bus Station, and everyone's stomachs began to growl.

"I searched online yesterday and found out that there is a restaurant north of the bus station that is good, clean, and affordable. Let's go there to eat." Duan Yue flipped through her notebook, and the homework she did yesterday finally came in handy.

The small restaurant is small, a typical mom-and-pop shop, with the boss serving the dishes and the landlady collecting the bills. The restaurant is really as Duan Yue said, spotless and clean and bright.

Besides them, there were two other tables of customers in the store, and they found a secluded seat by the window to sit down.

The landlady's sharp eyes saw them taking their seats and she immediately came over with menus: "How many of you want to order?"

"What the hell?" The fat man said he didn't understand.

Seeing that they were speaking Mandarin, the landlady quickly changed her words: "Ah, what do you guys want to eat?"

"Oh, I understand this time. Order, order, I'm really starving. I have a good meal. I don't know what to eat when I get there. Come and take a look at the menu. Hey, this picture looks good, hometown braised pork

, have one. And this, steamed yellow bone fish." Zhuangzi couldn't wait to order.

Everyone ordered six dishes and one soup, and after devouring the food, they almost finished eating.

"Lady boss, pay the bill!" Jiang Xueyan said as she took out her wallet. She had all the cash given by Uncle Wen.

"The total is 237 yuan, so let's count it as 230." The landlady said with a smile.

"Auntie, we want to go to the mountains now. Where can we find a bus into the mountains?" Zhuo Zhan took the opportunity to ask the proprietress.

"Oh, why are you going into the mountain so late? It's very dangerous, not to mention you are bringing two little girls with you! You can stay in the county for one night. You can find someone at the east gate of the glass factory tomorrow to bring individual tourists into the mountain.

Don't go there because it's late at night." The landlady quickly advised.

"No, aunt, we must go tonight, we..."

Before Zhuo Zhan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Xueyan, who was busy paying: "Auntie, we are students in the Department of Water Resources and Environment of Zhongfu University. We are rushing to the mountains for inspection to complete the tasks assigned by the instructor. Time

It’s a bit tight, I won’t be able to make it in time tomorrow, and I’ll fail the exam if I don’t hand in my homework. Auntie, do you know of any other options?”

Jiang Xueyan was so good at making up lies on the spur of the moment, her face didn't turn red, her heart didn't beat, her expression was calm, and she was able to deal with it with ease, which surprised everyone a little.

"It's so late. There are almost no rickshaw pullers left. They've all gone home. Hey, forget it. It's not easy for you kids from out of town. I have a small van that pulls goods. Let my husband take you there.

"As for the expenses... I'll give you 200 yuan." The landlady is kind-hearted, but she still has to make some money when business comes to her.

"Thank you, boss lady, you are so kind! It's the right time to come to your house for dinner. We will eat here when we come back."

Jiang Xueyan, who had always been cool and talkative, was very sweet-tongued at this time, which made Duan Fei feel strange. He stared blankly at the unfamiliar Sister Xueyan in front of him, and murmured in his heart.

"Hey, my kid is as old as you and is studying outside. When I saw you, I thought of him. I'll help if I can. I won't say thank you." After all, he still made money, Jiang Xueyan said with deep emotion.

The thank you made the landlady feel a little guilty.

The boss's Wuling minivan is not big and has some things packed in it, so it's a bit cramped for five people to sit in.

Little Bread walked all the way into the mountain. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the boss stopped the car.

"I can only send you here. The road ahead is inaccessible to cars, so you have to rely on yourself from now on. There will be an open space further west along the path, and you can camp there." The boss kindly reminded me.

After paying farewell to the restaurant owner, everyone headed west to the empty space the owner mentioned.

"We don't have a tent, so we won't be camping anymore. Let's just go there." Zhuo Zhan suggested.

"I agree. The dial is not there, and the time on both sides cannot be accurately aligned. It is dark here, and maybe it is daytime over there." Jiang Xueyan also agreed. "Come on, everyone, check if there are any metal products on you.

Yes, you must look carefully, and you must not be careless about this!"

"Mobile phones and headphones are all stored in Yangcheng. They should be gone." Zhuangzi touched his body and said.

"Zhuang, are the zippers of the jeans you're wearing made of metal?" Zhuo Zhan's eyes were sharp and he hit the nail on the head.

"Ah? Come on, I forgot about this! What's wrong with this? All the thick clothes and pants are stored at the Yangcheng Airport. I can't just go with my buttocks...what are you two wearing?"

Zhuangzi was extremely anxious. Following the light of the flashlight, he saw that Zhuo Zhan and Duan Fei were wearing drawstring sweatpants.

"Pfft... It seems you have no choice but to go naked." Duan Fei couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Also, is the perforated ring on your sneakers also made of metal?"

"Hey, Zhuo Zhan, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's fine without pants, but not with shoes. Without shoes, my feet would be blistered!" At this time, Zhuangzi was on the verge of despair, with a look of helplessness and helplessness on his face.

Wronged.

"I didn't look at you carefully. If I stare at you all day, then my brain is rusty. Sister Xueyan said metal yesterday, why don't you pay attention to it at all?" Zhuo Zhan

reproached.

"I was thinking about playing video games last night." Duan Fei hurriedly finished his attack, obviously he still hadn't forgotten the dispute with Zhuangzi last night.

"Here, use this to lift up the copper ring so that the shoes can continue to be worn." Jiang Xueyan threw Zhuangzi an awl made of tempered glass, which was left behind by the previous research team.

"Living Bodhisattva! Sister Xueyan, you are my biological sister. Others are talking about it for nothing." Zhuangzi took the awl and was so moved that he almost shed tears.

After a while of busy work, Zhuo Zhan was already debugging Sikong with Jiang Xueyan and was about to open the space-time tunnel.

The three sets of pointers of this Sikong can only be adjusted clockwise, not retrograde. Taking the time of the space to be traveled as the node, each time they can only be adjusted to the time point behind the last time they traveled, but not to the previous time. This time they

The corresponding time that needs to be adjusted is four years after the mountain and sea disaster occurred.

Even in the warm northern Guangdong, there is a cool breeze in the mountainous areas on winter nights. The strong man wearing only a pair of underwear on his lower body was shivering with cold, which was funny and pitiful.

Duan Yue turned away with a blushing face, took out a shawl from her backpack and handed it to Zhuangzi. This was originally used when she planned to get cold there.

"Here's this for you, wrap it around your legs."

"Hey, thank you, thank you. It's better to be a girl. It's so considerate! Oh, it's cashmere, it's warm and warm. The more you get, I'll give it back to you when I get back."

"No need!" Duan Yue said firmly.

"I'll definitely wash it and return it to you, make sure it's clean, okay?" Zhuangzi knew that Duan Yue disliked him.

"No, I really don't! I still have several shawls at home, just keep this one for use." Duan Yue really didn't want this shawl anymore, especially the one that wraps around the lower body of a strong man.

"Okay, I'll accept that, Mr. Zhuang. Don't tell me, this really smells like a gypsy girl." Zhuangzi turned around and laughed at himself.

"How can there be such a strong gypsy girl? Her legs are still covered with hair." Duan Fei rolled his eyes and laughed.

"Throw away the flashlight and come over quickly. It's adjusted and ready to start." Jiang Xueyan greeted sternly.

Zhuo Zhan nervously activated Sikong, and a huge black hole instantly opened up between the sky and the earth. The hole was as big as more than 20 football fields, and shining things like a galaxy were flowing inside.

The black hole was the same as that day four years ago, but they were faced with two groups of people with completely different mentality. The group of people in front of the hole now were younger, more excited, more fearless, and more determined to have no hesitation.

"The entrance of the space-time tunnel is really big!" Zhuo Zhan couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, how else do you think those gangsters who got the bracelets before avoided the sight of the research team and followed them." Jiang Xueyan said calmly, "It takes 8 to 10 minutes from the opening to closing of the cave door. No need.

urgent."

"Come on, let's go!"

Everyone jumped into the tunnel, with Zhuangzi running at the front. The cashmere shawl wrapped underneath was picked up by the wind, exposing his legs like a high-slit cheongsam. Yes, Zhuangzi's plump thighs and thick leg hair were exposed.

.

This scene was really funny, and everyone couldn't hold back their laughter.
