Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
“Sir, I’m a young man who likes to explore, and I’m an outdoor livestream host.” Afraid that the old man might not believe him, Chen Ge told out his phone and showed him the page with his videos. “I’m quite famous online. You can Google me if you want to.”
He confused the old man since he kept saying terms that the senior could not understand. ” Goggle you? 1 How would staring at you help?”
The old man tightened his palms around the hoe, and he looked at Chen Ge with alarm.
“To put it simply, I’m a famous outdoor explorer,” Chen Ge summarized. He did not care whether the old man understood him or not. He took out a banknote from his pocket. “I’m lost exploring this mountain, and it was lucky for me to run into you. Can you please tell me how to get back to Jiujiang City?”
The old man did not reach for Chen Ge’s money. He kept his eyes on Chen Ge. Obviously, he did not trust Chen Ge. The two stood in the plantation. The weather in the mountain was prone to change. There was a chill in the air, and it soon started to rain.
“It’s raining?” Chen Ge opened his palm and allowed the rain to fall on it. The moment the rain turned heavier, the environment in the mountain would turn complicated. It would be bad for him.
“I don’t know where you’re from, but this place is called Lin Guan Village. It is right in the middle of Jiujiang and Lin Jiang. It’s far from the city, and there are no cars nearby. It’ll be difficult for you to return to Jiujiang.” The man leaned on the hoe. His legs were weak from the shock that Chen Ge had given him. Who would have thought that a man would suddenly appear behind him in the middle of the night?
“Then what should I do?” Chen Ge twisted his face like he was really worried.
“I can walk you to the foot of the mountain, but it’ll probably take the whole night.” The old man sighed. “Right, there’s a village at the bottom of the mountain. I can walk you there, but do not go into the village. Head straight for the road.”
“Why can’t I enter the village? If there are some villagers, I don’t mind spending a night there.”
“Just listen to me! Why do you have so many questions?” the old man said sternly. This seemed to be especially important.
“But you’ve said so yourself, there are no cars. Even if I leave the mountain, I won’t be able to return to Jiujiang. It looks like it’s going to pour soon; I’ll need a place to hide from the rain, right?” Chen Ge was telling the truth, and the old man could not come up with a retort. He glared at Chen Ge, and the silence stretched between them.
The rain picked up, and the old man sighed. “Since it’s raining now, it’ll be misty in the morning. If you don’t mind, you can stay with me for the night.”
He removed the lamp from the branch. He dragged the hoe for about three meters before asking Chen Ge, “Are you really an famous explorer?”
“Why would I lie?” Chen Ge did not feel afraid even though the old man could assault him with the hoe. He took out his phone with one hand while his other reached for the hammer inside his backpack. “You can search for me online. Look, this is me.”
Chen Ge showed the video of himself inside the Third Sick Hall. It was the most normal video of himself that he could find.
“You’ve been on television before?”
“I suppose you can say that. I’m considered quite famous in Jiujiang.”
Looking at Chen Ge inside the phone and the comments that followed it, the old man nodded. “No wonder. A normal person wouldn’t come here so late at night.”
After that, he realized that he might have let something slip, so he picked up the hoe and continued on. “Come with me.”
