Chapter 6, Guide
Shu Yi said, "Deal." Ye Hai cautiously asked, "Could you please prepay me fifty first? You can give me the other fifty after a couple of days when it's all done." Ye Qinghan glanced at the girl through the rearview mirror and shook his head with a smile. Shu Yi took a hundred yuan bill out of her wallet and said, "Here you go." Ye Hai humorously replied, "I can't break this." Shu Yi laughed, "That's fine, you can keep it. But you need to find us a decent hotel later; we've been driving all day, and we want to have a good rest tonight."
Shu Yi glanced at the open door and gently said, "When I shook hands with her, I noticed that her hand was very delicate, but the inner palm and the joints of her index finger had a thin layer of callus." Shi Qing asked, "So what?" Xi Men Wu Wang interjected, "This indicates that this girl often handles guns." Shu Yi nodded, "But she told me that she is a student at a normal university"
After a few people settled down, they all came to Shu Yi's room. Ye Qinghan said, "Shu, we are here to handle a case, why are we inviting a guide to play around?" Shu Yi did not answer his question, but gently said, "Everyone be careful, this Coconut Sea is peculiar." Xi Men Wuwang asked, "What happened?"
Ye Qinghan said, "This place is truly beautiful!" Ximen Wuwang replied, "The divine mountain is even more beautiful, but when there is no sunlight, you will feel more of its mystery and fear." Ye Qinghan said, "I really want to go see it." Shu Yi remained silent, gazing out the window.
Shu Yi casually asked, "The Coconut Sea girl should be going to university now, right?" Coconut Sea replied, "I am studying at a normal university in the city, and I will graduate tomorrow." Coconut Sea always wore a smile on her face, and when she spoke, her two dimples danced charmingly. One hand rested on the car window while the other gently brushed her hair: "Is this your first time in Ximing?" Just as Xi Men was about to answer, Shu Yi gave him a hint with his eyes and said, "Yes, we don't know what fun places there are here."
Shu Yi nodded with a smile: "Yes." The girl said: "Can I get a ride with you?" Shu Yi replied: "Sure." A smile appeared on the girl's face as she extended her hand: "Hello, my name is Ye Hai." Shu Yi shook the girl's hand, feeling a bit surprised inside, but he did not show any unusual expression on his face
After strolling for more than half an hour on the street, Shu Yi returned home. The door was still open, and Yan Ling was chatting with his daughter. Upon seeing Shu Yi return, Ye Hai quickly stood up and said, "Mr. Shu, why didn't you call me when you went out for a walk? There are several lively places in Ximing; had I known you were going out, I would have taken you there." Shu Yi replied, "Oh? What places?" Yan Ling interjected, "Don't listen to her nonsense; they are not good places at all." After saying this, he shot a glare at Ye Hai and added, "Young ladies should not go to such places."
Firstly, it was due to intense physical activity; secondly, it was tension. She clearly did not belong to the former category, so it must be the latter. But why was she tense? Since we were meeting for the first time, a chance encounter, there was only one possibility: she was afraid that we would discover her true intentions for approaching us. When she finally took the initiative to offer to be our guide, I became even more certain that her approach had a purpose. Therefore, I went along with her, giving her the opportunity to get closer to us, and I was also very curious about what she actually wanted to do. " wwwhetushucom .com " Shu Yi said.

Xie Qing said, "Then be careful." Shu Yi smiled and replied, "Mm, alright, everyone disperse. They will probably come to call us for dinner soon."
Shu Yi did not wander far, merely strolling around the vicinity. The town is indeed quite prosperous, especially the outdoor bars, which are filled with tourists.
Ye Hai smiled and said, "How about I act as your tour guide? Of course, it won't be for free; you will need to pay me a salary." Shu Yi replied, "How much per day? Don't ask for too much; we all rely on our salaries to make a living." Ye Hai responded, "Fifty yuan a day, how does that sound? However, I can only be your guide for two days, as I need to rush back to school early on Monday."
Shu Yi returned to his room and habitually checked his luggage, finding that it had not been tampered with. After washing up, he lay down on the bed. He did not know what this Coconut Sea wanted to do; she seemed to harbor no ill intentions, yet why was she so actively approaching him? Perhaps tomorrow there would be an answer.
Yehai said happily, "No problem"
Releasing Ye Hai's hand, Shu Yi asked, "Is your home in Ximing?" Ye Hai nodded and replied, "Yes, I study in the city and go back on weekends. Are you here for tourism?" Shu Yi said, "Yes, we are on a self-driving trip." Ye Hai glanced at Sheng Rongguang, who was changing a tire not far away, and asked, "You are all together, right?" Shu Yi replied, "Yes."
The dinner was quite sumptuous and distinctive, especially the chicken rice, which received unanimous praise from everyone. Ye Hai introduced some customs of her ethnic group, informing everyone that in terms of diet, they still maintain the primitive legacy of egalitarianism. When it comes to eating, drinking, and tea, everyone present is entitled to partake; omitting anyone would be considered an act of disrespect.

Ye Qinghan said, "But what does this have to do with us?" Shu Yi shot him a glare and replied, "Don't you find it strange that as soon as Xiao Sheng's tire burst, she appeared? When I shook hands with her, although she seemed relaxed and at ease, the corner of her right mouth only slightly curled up. If her smile were genuine, the corners of both sides of her mouth should rise equally. Most importantly, when we shook hands, I intentionally placed one of my fingers on her pulse, and it was beating very rapidly. This usually indicates one of two situations."
Sheng Rongguang said, "Shu Chu, I am worried about your safety since you will be alone tonight." Shu Yi replied, "Don't worry, it's fine. Don't I have a gun? Besides, sometimes being here is more useful than any weapon." He pointed to his own head. Ye Qinghan said, "How about I share a room with you tonight?" Shu Yi shook his head, saying, "You use your room. Since the rooms have been assigned, let's not change them. We shouldn't let them notice that we are on alert."
An hour later, the car entered a brand new town. Ye Hai said, "This is Ximing County, but this is the new town; the old town is over twenty kilometers away. Do you want to stay in the new town or go to the old town?" Shu Yi replied, "You are the guide; it's up to you." Ye Hai said, "Then let's go with the new town. It's close to the Sacred Lake, and tomorrow I will take you to see the Sacred Lake and Sacred Mountain first." Shu Yi smiled and asked, "So it's the new town then. Is your home also in the new town?" Ye Hai nodded, "Why don't you stay at my house? We have a big house, and my parents often host some travelers."
"Master, are you going to Ximing?" a girl asked. Shu Yi looked at the girl, who appeared to be around twenty years old. She was wearing a black long dress, with a dark red belt adorned with silver ornaments wrapped around her waist. The belt was tied in a crisscross pattern at the front. On her upper body, she wore a black front-opening vest, and silver arm ornaments adorned her arms. Her long, jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore a large silver hairpin on her head. The girl was very beautiful, possessing a kind of beauty that was pure yet carried a hint of wildness. Her arms were adorned with silver arm ornaments, and her long, jet-black hair fell over her shoulders, complemented by a large silver hairpin on her head. The girl was very beautiful, with a beauty that was pure and slightly untamed.
Ye Qinghan widened her eyes: "I say, Shu Chu, you are quite terrifying. Just a handshake, and you can uncover so many issues." Xi Men Wuwang also looked at Shu Yi: "Shu Chu, impressive." Shu Yi waved his hand: "Not really, just careful observation. Everyone should be a bit cautious; we fear she may not come with good intentions."
After a hearty meal and drinks, everyone returned to their respective rooms. Shu Yi sat in his room for a while before stepping out. Yan Ling was sitting on the stairs, smoking a pipe. Upon seeing Shu Yi, he smiled warmly and said, "Mr. Shu, you haven't rested yet?" Shu Yi replied, "I ate too much tonight and wanted to take a walk." Yan Ling responded, "Oh, go ahead. I tend to sleep late, so I'll leave the door open for you."
Ye Hai's parents were very hospitable and promptly arranged rooms for Shu Yi and the others. After handing them over to her parents, Ye Hai returned to her own room, which was not far from the guests' rooms, located in the backyard. The five of them were assigned three rooms: Shu Yi had a room to himself, Ye Qinghan and Xi Men shared a room, and Sheng Rongguang and Shi Qing shared another room.
The vehicle continues to move forward
Shu Yi also jumped out of the car and stretched his muscles. Xi Men Wu Wang handed a cigarette to Shu Yi: "Shu, is my joining the Ninth Division temporary or permanent?" Shu Yi smiled, and his smile made Xi Men Wu Wang feel somewhat awkward; he did not want to return to Lin City. Shu Yi said: "Don't worry, even if the Ninth Division ceases to exist in the future, I will help you transfer to another division." He was confident that he could still manage this matter.
"How did their car stop?" Ximen Wuwang asked. Shu Yi turned his head to take a look, and indeed, the car that Sheng Rongguang and Shi Qing were in had stopped by the roadside
Yán Lǐng said, "You all take a rest for now. I will come to call you when dinner is ready."
Yehai's father is named Yanling, a person who appears very kind-hearted. He is not yet fifty years old, but he looks somewhat aged.
Shu Yi called Sheng Rongguang, who informed him that the tire had burst, but fortunately, he had a spare tire with him
Yehai winked at Shuyi and then said to Yanling, "Dad, I'm going to sleep." Yanling smiled at Shuyi with a hint of embarrassment and said, "This child has spoiled me."
Yan Ling noticed that Shu Yi and the others did not look down on him because of his poor-quality cigarettes, and he couldn't help but feel a greater fondness for them.
The vehicle entered the Angry Mountain Range, where the peaks are stacked upon one another, and ravines crisscross the landscape, further enveloped by a faint mist that lingers in the air
Sheng Rongguang waved his hand to Shu Yi, signaling that they could continue. Shu Yi opened the car door and said to Ye Hai, "Get in the car." Ye Hai got in and sat down next to Shu Yi
Yehai is a very talkative girl, while her father Yanling and her mother rarely speak. Seeing his daughter happily chatting with the guests, Yanling also smiled. He took out a pack of cheap cigarettes and shared them with Shu Yi and the others. After Shu Yi received one, he lit it and continued his conversation with Yehai, enjoying it thoroughly.
