If I ask you to set up a stall, why do you always run to deserted places?

The wind is quite strong on the mountain.

Wang Hai held up his phone, zooming in and out of the photo of the steamed bun repeatedly.

He gestured at the hill in front of him for a long time.

"No way, where the hell is this?"

Zhao Hu squatted on a large rock, panting heavily from exhaustion.

"Hey guys, we've been climbing for almost an hour and haven't even seen a single steamed bun."

Li Jianguo leaned against the tree trunk, his face pale.

"If my wife knew that I didn't spend the weekend with her and came to this desolate place to look for steamed buns, she would twist my head off and use it as a ball to kick around."

"Alright, alright, stop complaining."

Wang Hai wiped his sweat and clicked on the photo again.

"Look, there are mountains and trees in the background, and... hey! Look here!"

He shoved his phone in front of the two people.

"The color of the rocks behind us looks a bit like the area we just passed, doesn't it?"

Zhao Hu squinted and stared at it for a long time.

"It does look somewhat similar, but all the rocks along the way look like this!"

"No, no, look at this rock, it has a chip in it, like a dog chewed it!"

Wang Hai became more and more excited as he spoke.

"I made a point of checking when I passed by just now, this is it!"

The three people exchanged a glance.

A glimmer of hope rekindled, and they continued climbing the mountain.

After climbing for another ten minutes or so, Wang Hai's phone suddenly vibrated.

He took it out and saw it was a notification from Douyin (TikTok): Sister Peach was live streaming.

peach?

Wang Hai paused for a moment, then clicked on it casually.

In the picture,

Sister Peach was holding up her phone stand at an intersection, with cars coming and going around her, so it seemed she was in the city.

"Family, we're not going on a restaurant search today; we have something very important to do!"

Peach looked at the camera with a mysterious expression.

What's the big deal?

Is Sister Peach going to make an official announcement?

Get out of here!

Peach chuckled.

Do you guys remember that fried rice under the bridge in the south of the city?

The live chat exploded instantly.

[I remember! I've been craving it for days!]

Where did the boss go? I went under the bridge today and there was nothing there!

[Yeah, yeah! I specifically took a day off to go, only to find it wasn't there!]

"Yeah, where did they go?"

Peach blinked.

"This is the big deal today: we need to find the boss!"

As they were talking, a comment popped up on Peach's phone screen.

[Sister Peach, Brother Wang from the beach is watching your live stream!]

Peach's eyes lit up.

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang by the sea? Where is he? Where is he?"

She scrolled through the list of online viewers and, sure enough, saw that familiar ID.

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang, are you also looking for Boss Su? Do you know where he moved to?"

Peach casually clicked the link.

Wang Hai looked at Taozi's anxious face on the screen, and his lips twitched.

He hesitated for half a second, then decisively shook his head.

"I don't know, I don't know, I'm looking for it too!"

"Where are you now? Maybe we can compare our information."

Peach pressed for an answer.

Wang Hai looked up and around; it was a desolate wilderness with not even a road sign.

"It's up in the mountain."

He replied quickly.

"On the mountain? Which mountain?"

"That's the mountain."

【? ? ? 】

[Brother Wang, what are you doing here?]

[Mountains upon mountains, I'm dizzy!]

"Brother Wang, are you not going to tell us?"

Wang Hai touched his nose guiltily and quickly shook his head.

"How could that be! The signal is bad, I'm hanging up now!"

After saying that, he decisively left the live stream.

"Brother Wang! Brother Wang!"

Peach called out twice, but when she realized the other person had already run away, she stomped her feet in anger.

"That old rascal is wicked; he definitely knows the location but doesn't want to tell me!"

The comments section was filled with laughter.

[Hahaha, that old rascal is really wicked!]

[Brother Wang: I'm not a bad person, I'm just afraid you guys will steal my food!]

Wait, there seemed to be a tree in the background of Brother Wang's scene just now!

Of course there are trees on the mountain!

No, look closely, isn't there a utility pole behind that tree?

Peach's eyes lit up, and she quickly replayed the live stream clip from earlier.

That's right!

There was indeed a utility pole behind Wang Hai, and there was a notice posted on it.

She zoomed in on the image, and then zoomed in again.

The pixels were completely blurred, but you could still vaguely make out a few words.

"North of the city...what...what?"

Peach squinted to make out the details.

[Chengbei Forest Farm?]

[The North City Cemetery? Don't scare me!]

[Air raid shelter in the north of the city?]

This comment suddenly appeared in the live chat.

"The air-raid shelter in the north of the city?"

Peach's fingers paused.

dugout.

She suddenly remembered this morning,

She saw a post about steamed buns on Douyin.

"In a really remote place...the braised pork buns and fresh pork buns...absolutely amazing!"

The background in the accompanying picture is completely black, and it really does look like a hole...

"No way?"

Peach murmured to herself.

【Sister Peach, what are you thinking about?】

[Quick, tell me! I'm ready to go!]

Peach took a deep breath and gave the camera a sly smile.

"Family members, I think I know where it is!"

She left the live stream, opened the map, and entered "Chengbei Air Raid Shelter".

There were several results.

The navigation system indicated that she was approximately 40 kilometers away from her current location!

"It's alright, not too far!"

Peach put away her phone and hailed a taxi.

"Driver, take us to the nearest air-raid shelter in the north of the city!"

The driver turned around, looking completely bewildered.

"What air-raid shelter? What are you doing there, young lady?"

"Let's eat steamed buns!"

driver:???

......

Meanwhile, on the mountain.

After leaving the live stream, Wang Hai let out a long sigh of relief.

Why are you running?

Zhao Hu looked puzzled.

"Maybe Sister Peach knows the way and can show us the way!"

"Are you stupid?!"

Wang Hai rolled his eyes.

"She has tens of thousands of viewers in her live stream. If she finds out, won't this mountain be overflowing with people tomorrow?"

"What's the point of us eating steamed buns then!"

"That makes sense!"

Li Jianguo gave a thumbs up.

"Old Wang, your brain actually works pretty well in a pinch!"

"That's right."

Wang Hai proudly raised his chin.

"Let's go, keep looking."

The three of them climbed uphill for a while longer, but the mountain became steeper and the path narrower.

Zhao Hu's legs had started to tremble.

"I can't take it anymore, I can't walk any further!"

"Me too!"

Li Jianguo plopped down on a rock.

"Do you think that person who posted that video on Douyin is a scammer? How can anyone sell steamed buns in this godforsaken place?"

"Besides, even if someone were selling steamed buns in this godforsaken place, would it be Chef Su?"

Wang Hai didn't say anything, and took out his phone to look at the photos again.

Just then.

A gust of wind blew by.

He subconsciously sniffed, and suddenly froze.

"etc!"

Zhao Hu and Li Jianguo both looked at him at the same time.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Hai sniffed again, his eyes widening even further.

"Can you smell anything?"

Zhao Hu and Li Jianguo exchanged a glance and also took a deep sniff.

"Holy crap! You know what, you're really something!"

There was indeed a faint fragrance in the air, almost imperceptible, like that of noodles.

wrong!

It smells like meat!

"This tastes like... steamed buns?"

Zhao Hu said uncertainly.

"Walk!"

Wang Hai stood up abruptly and walked forward following the scent.

The three men moved like hunting dogs.

As I walked up the mountain path, my nose twitched, and the fragrance grew stronger and stronger.

When we reached a fork in the road.

Wang Hai suddenly stopped.

He looked up and saw an inconspicuous cave entrance in front of him.

Above the entrance to the cave, a few red characters were faintly visible... "Air Raid Shelter in the North of the City?"

"Holy crap! No way!"

Wang Hai swallowed.

Zhao Hu and Li Jianguo also came over, and the three of them stood at the intersection looking at each other.

"This... is that air-raid shelter?"

Li Jianguo's voice trembled.

"look like!"

Zhao Hu took out his phone and compared the photos.

"Look at the color of these rocks, the weeds—they're all exactly the same!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go in!"

Wang Hai took the lead and went into the cave.

After walking a few steps, a familiar voice came from inside.

"Take care, come again next time!"

The three of them stopped at the same time and looked at each other.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

My nose is almost sore.

That sound.....

Is it...

"Master Su?!"

Wang Hai shouted.

There was a moment of silence in the cave, followed by an incredulous response.

"Holy crap? Who?"
