Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"Wait a minute, what are you doing here?"

Fang Rui looked at Chen Duo with a strange expression, as if asking, "Where did you come from?"

“I invited him,” Ma Xianhong explained. “I also invited Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing, but they both have to go home before they come.”

"No, let's not talk about Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing. They are your targets, and I think it's normal for you to invite them, but..."

As he spoke, Fang Rui pointed to Chen Duo and asked, "...How did you two meet?"

"We met while strolling in the mountains," Ma Xianhong answered truthfully.

It's truly fate; when fate brings you together, there's no stopping it!

Longhu Mountain is so big, how could you possibly run into each other?

It's one thing to meet someone, but to be able to hit it off in a situation different from the original story is truly fate!

Fang Rui didn't say anything more. Since he had already been invited, he couldn't refuse to give Village Chief Ma face.

As a result, there were two more passengers on the return trip.

at the same time……

On Longhu Mountain, Liao Zhong searched everywhere for a while but couldn't find Chen Duo.

Standing on the stone path at the entrance of the canteen, Liao Zhong looked around blankly, wondering where Chen Duo had gone. The tool used to locate Chen Duo was in her bedroom, but he had completely lost track of her.

If it were someone else, they would have already reported it to the company's higher-ups and tried to find the Gu-body Saint Child, since Chen Duo is in a very dangerous situation.

However, Liao Zhong would not do that. He treated Chen Duo in a manner similar to a father treating his daughter. Unless he could no longer hide it, he would not report it to the company.

Just as he was extremely anxious, a young Taoist priest happened to pass by. Thinking "what if...", he stopped the priest and asked about Chen Duo.

"Hello, have you seen Chen Duo? She's the girl who's always been by my side, with dark green eyes and long black hair..."

Before Liao Zhong could finish speaking, the young Taoist priest looked enlightened and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I've met you before, I've met you before..."

"Where did you see it?" Liao Zhong asked excitedly.

What a pleasant surprise! A happy accident!

“He’s right down the mountain.” The young Taoist turned and pointed, saying, “I saw him with that group of people from Biyou Village…”

Before the young Taoist could finish speaking, Liao Zhong ran out, and a sentence drifted back from afar.

"Thank you."

"Hey!" The young Taoist boy stretched out Er Kang's hand. "I haven't finished speaking yet!"

However, Liao Zhong could no longer hear the Taoist boy's words; in just a few seconds, he had already rushed out a hundred or two meters.

"Never mind." Seeing Liao Zhong's figure disappear into the forest, the young Taoist turned and left. "It's just a waste of a little time."

After running down the mountain road, Liao Zhong searched for a while but still found nothing. He looked around and found a Taoist priest. He asked the people from Biyou Village where they were and if they had seen Chen Duo, and described Chen Duo's appearance.

"Oh~ I've seen her before." The Taoist priest nodded repeatedly and described what he had seen: "I saw her get into a car and leave with the people from Biyou Village."

"(⊙o⊙) Huh?!"

Liao Zhong's eyes widened in disbelief...

Chapter 188 Chen Duo, what do you think?

Liao Zhong was shocked by the abduction of his "daughter" and immediately took out his phone to notify others.

A little while later, Fang Rui on the bus received a call from Liao Zhong.

"Hello, is this Fang Rui?"

"It's me, and you are..."

"This is Liao Zhong." After a brief self-introduction, the person on the other end of the phone got straight to the point, "Is Chen Duo with you?"

"Yes, if you're worried that he's not eating or sleeping well..."

"Stop, that's not what I meant to say. How could you think I meant to say that..."

Liao Zhong quickly interrupted Fang Rui's rambling, steer the conversation back on track, "I was thinking... could you bring Chen Duo back? Or could you pull over and I'll pick her up, or..."

"Why?" Fang Rui asked, knowing the answer already, without listening to Liao Zhong's rambling and somewhat flustered words.

"Because Chen Duo... is in danger," Liao Zhong explained perfunctorily.

"Is it dangerous..." Fang Rui repeated in a low voice, then said to him, "Come to Biyou Village, I have something to talk to you about."

"As for Chen Duo... let's talk about her after we finish discussing that matter!"

After saying that, Fang Rui hung up the phone, ignoring Liao Zhong's expression on the other end.

"Whoo~~~"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Fang Rui turned his gaze to the scenery outside the car window. The scenery along the way was quite ordinary, with trees of various shapes standing on both sides of the road.

Chen Duo's abilities were quite useful, so he decided to help her and free her from the torment of the Gu poison.

Of course, helping out isn't free; after Chen Duo's problem is solved, he needs to work for her to pay off her debts.

However... to bring Chen Duo under my wing, I need to talk to Liao Zhong, persuade him to agree, and then have him persuade the company's management.

After all, Chen Duo was a temporary worker at the company and a Gu-body Saint Child.

"This is probably going to be a troublesome matter!"

As he sighed, Liao Zhong, inside Longhu Mountain, looked at the dial pad, his finger hovering over Fang Rui's phone number, and pressed down hard.

After two long beeps, the call connected, and Liao Zhong immediately prepared to tell Fang Rui about Chen Duo's dangerous situation.

"You don't understand..."

"No, I understand. I know what you're trying to say, and I know what you're really thinking..."

Fang Rui interrupted the "spellcasting" directly, shifting the initiative to his side. "I know very well what's wrong with Chen Duo. After all, I'm very strong and knowledgeable. The most crucial point is..."

“I have a way to solve her problem.”

Fang Rui's calm and collected words immediately shattered Liao Zhong's composure. The man was taken aback, one tension shifting to another, and he stammered, "..."

"Are you... telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise why would I have asked you to come to Biyou Village to discuss this in detail?"

"I understand. I hope you're not lying to me."

After saying that, Liao Zhong hung up the phone.

Looking up at the azure sky, Liao Zhong slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his mood somewhat complicated. After calming himself down for a moment, he made a phone call to his subordinate.

"I want to take Chen Duo to Biyou Village. Just make up some excuse so that Chen Duo and I can stay there a little longer..."

"No, Brother Liao, this is so sudden... Okay, leave it to me!"

Halfway through the conversation, the other person stopped talking. Although he didn't know what Liao Zhong was going to do, he trusted Liao Zhong and agreed.

After all, Chen Duo is different from other temporary workers; she doesn't have as much freedom of movement and needs to have regular medical checkups.

"sorry to bother you."

After saying that, Liao Zhong hung up the phone and immediately set off for Biyou Village.

"I hope what Fang Rui said is true!"

………………

After nearly two weeks away from Biyou Village, Fang Rui felt particularly refreshed upon returning.

Perhaps it's because the air quality is good!

It's also possible that he was very familiar with the environment of Biyou Village, which gave him a sense of security.

After resting for a while, Fang Rui went to the village to look for Ma Xianhong and Chen Duo.

At this moment, Ma Xianhong was showing Chen Duo around the village, introducing Biyou Village to her. Looking at Biyou Village, which was very different from ordinary villages and towns, Chen Duo, who was usually quiet, did not exclaim in surprise, but her expression changed.

When Fang Rui found the two of them, they were on the ridge next to the cabbage field. Ma Xianhong was pointing to the talisman-shaped sprinkler device in the vegetable field and explaining its operating principle to Chen Duo.

Chen Duo, on the other hand, had an expression that said, "I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked."

After a few seconds of silence, Fang Rui walked over and said, "Stop talking, I need to talk to you. Come with me..."

After saying that, Fang Rui turned and left.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xianhong and Chen Duo immediately followed without asking why.

One person was very familiar with Fang Rui, and the other was used to following orders.

In the courtyard next to the forging workshop, Fang Rui and the others stood in three directions around a round stone table.

With a light tap of his fingertips on the table, amidst the soft clattering sounds, Fang Rui looked at the two people opposite him and said bluntly, "Chen Duo has some health problems and needs treatment. There are two people who can cure her: one is me, and the other is Lü Huan..."

"Speaking of which, where is Lü Huan? I've walked around the village and haven't seen him anywhere."

"You didn't ask where we got on the bus, but now that we're home, you suddenly realize someone's missing."

Ma Xianhong was speechless. You could notice if there was one more person, so why didn't you notice if there was one less person?

"Perhaps it's because...his presence isn't very strong."

Fang Rui rubbed his cheek and pondered for a moment before answering.

Perhaps it's because of her hairstyle, but Lü Huan has a bit of a country girl vibe, or to put it simply, she looks unsophisticated.

"You'd better not say that to her face, or she'll definitely bite you."

Ma Xianhong squinted as he spoke.

Ever since someone privately criticized Lü Huan's style as somewhat outdated, and Lü Huan found out, she has frequently sought advice from women like Fu Rong on how to dress and do makeup...

As for who complained about it privately, I won't say here.

"I'm not worried. After all, I'm very strong. My body is strong enough to stop bullets. If someone bites me, they'll probably just chip their teeth..."

Fang Rui raised an eyebrow and said smugly.

"Is this the point?" Ma Xianhong complained.

"The important thing is..." Fang Rui's expression turned serious. He looked at Chen Duo and asked earnestly, "Chen Duo, do you want to become a normal person?"
