Xiang Bingbing took the bus in town and told her friends about her childhood sweetheart Xiaoran.

"She told me that she dropped out of school voluntarily because she couldn't concentrate on her studies... She also said that her boyfriend was a nice person... Although I persuaded her a lot, Xiao Ran didn't seem to be very interested... She used to want to leave her hometown and travel around, but now she seems like a different person... Oh, I can't explain it, but it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Xiang Bingbing, who was always cheerful and optimistic, kept sighing in the car. Seeing her sad face, everyone was worried.

Guo Yun advised, "After all, you haven't spent much time together in the past three years, so it's normal for friends to change... But I think it would be better to talk more. You haven't talked to her for a long time, right?"

Lin Youxi asked, "Is Xiao Ran's family a bit patriarchal or something? Dad doesn't support Xiao Ran to continue studying."

"We definitely have this kind of culture here, but Xiao Ran said she volunteered... I can't -"

"So we need to find out if she did it voluntarily."

Mei Fang said, "Although everyone has their own aspirations and we can't force them, if a friend does something that she will regret for the rest of her life, then the people around her will also regret it for the rest of their lives, right?"

"Afang is right. We have to find a way to see if Xiao Ran really doesn't want to study and wants to get married. But we still need to know more about your childhood friend. What kind of person was she in the past?"

"I think she's quite quiet..."

Xiang Bingbing thought about it, looked at Liu Xiaoyu's appearance and said, "It will feel a bit like Xiaoyu, but a little more courageous."

Liu Xiaoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. "So, in your eyes, I am very timid, right?"

"She was the type... in short, not the type who was as timid as a dragon. She would scream when she saw mice or spiders, and she would be too scared to go out when she saw a wild boar running down the street. One time, a wolf ran into town, and she was so scared that she didn't dare go out for a whole day and didn't even go to class. In the end, I still found the wolf."

Liu Xiaoyu felt a little numb when he heard this, "I feel like... Bingbing, you are too brave!"

"That's right!" Xia Yuan also nodded vigorously.

"But overall she is still a very gentle girl. When I was a kid, I liked to wear sneakers when running, but I never knew how to tie my shoelaces, so Xiao Ran always helped me. She started learning to cook when she was very young, and the dishes she cooked are delicious..."

Xiang Bingbing told everyone about her good friend. Xia Yuan and Mei Fang couldn't help but smile knowingly at Lin Youxi. Lin Youxi also coughed lightly and then said:

"Since you are such a good friend, you really need to ask her what she thinks."

Mei Fang thought for a moment, "It may not make sense to just talk about her like this. Although she just got engaged, she shouldn't get married so early, right? Does she really want to get married before she's 20?"

"She started school late, and she will be 2 in two months. But we don't have so many rules here... so we still have to ask as soon as possible."

Lin Youxi suggested: "I think you can invite Xiaoran to come and meet us. We can talk more and relax a little. Maybe we can know what she really thinks."

Xiang Bingbing, who originally didn't know what to do, suddenly had bright eyes after hearing what Lin Youxi said. She excitedly took Lin Youxi's hand and said, "Yes, yes, yes, this is a very good idea! Let's take her to play with us. She will be younger when she is with us, and maybe she can tell me her true feelings. I have to take her with me."

Xiang Bingbing was about to ask the driver to let her get off the bus, but Mei Fang and the others stopped her, "Hey, hey! You still have to deliver food to your dad!"

The bus got off at the forest area in the middle. Mei Fang and his group accompanied Xiang Bingbing along the asphalt road for a while and came to a simple wooden house.

Being a forest ranger is a very hard job. One has to stay in the forest area 24 hours a day for more than seven months a year. Xiang Bingbing's father usually lives in such a place. When Xiang Bingbing's father, who was also meters tall, appeared in front of Mei Fang and his group, everyone immediately understood where Xiang Bingbing's genes came from.

"Hello, uncle!"

Mei Fang and his group greeted Uncle Xiang. Uncle Xiang was a little surprised to see Bingbing's classmates, but then he quickly greeted everyone with a smile, "Um... hello, come in and sit down."

The group followed him into the cabin where Uncle Xiang lived, and they carried wooden stools and sat down. The furnishings in the cabin were relatively simple. In addition to a desk, dining table, a small TV and a bed, there was a simple stove and a wardrobe. There was a mottled clock and a mirror hanging on the wall, as well as portraits of some great men.

Uncle Xiang poured a cup of tea for everyone, and then said gently, "There's nothing at home to serve you, so just take a look."

"Yes! Don't bother Uncle Xiang! We are just here to deliver food."

Mei Fang was responding when Xia Yuan kept pulling his arm to remind Mei Fang to look at the shotgun placed in the middle of the wooden house.

Forest rangers are in a profession where they are allowed to legally carry guns. In order to deal with vicious poachers, they must take up arms to protect themselves. But after all, it was the first time they saw a real weapon, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little scared after seeing it.

Uncle Xiang lives a simple and hard life. Apart from a captive Chinese native dog named Dahuang, he has no other companions.

Years of lonely life made him seem to be very quiet. After Bingbing came, he just listened to Bingbing's nonstop chatter while eating. Then he heard Bingbing complain about Xiaoran's marriage, and he sighed at the moment.

"The child is so young, there is no need for him to get married so early. He should go out into the woods and walk around more..."

As she spoke to her uncle, she recalled, "Come to think of it, at the beginning of the year, Xiao Ran and Tao Tao came to bring me food and asked me what qualifications I needed to be a forest ranger... I even laughed at her for being so afraid of animals since she was a child, how could she have the idea of ​​becoming a forest ranger and spending the rest of her life in the mountains. She just smiled and said nothing at the time. Maybe she had other thoughts at that time..."

Xiang Bingbing thought for a moment, "Dad, I plan to take my friend and Xiaorou to go camping tomorrow! What do you think of this idea?"

"Of course, you are here to have fun with your friends, right?" Xiang said with a smile to his uncle, "Remember to take your friends to the Julongtan to take some photos of the golden monkeys."

"What's so interesting about golden monkeys? I'm sick of them. It's more interesting to go find donkey-headed wolves and big-footed sasquatch!"

As Xiang Bingbing was talking, her father interrupted her, "Don't believe in those weird stories. Your father has been in the mountains for so many years and has never seen anything like this. How could you possibly run into this? Stay in the resort area and don't think you can get away from me."

Uncle Xiang thought for a moment and reminded Xiang Bingbing, "There are a lot of people at Jiulong Lake recently, remember to enter the scenic area from the north line."

"I know, I know. Then can I drive my little golden cup up the mountain?"

"You wish! You haven't passed your driver's license test yet, so let your mom drive. She's going to make some deliveries tomorrow, too."

Xiang Bingbing and her father have made plans to visit the Shenlongjia Scenic Area. They will spend the next few days in the vast Shenlongjia forest area, the roof of central China.

Chapter 337 It turns out that they are already adults

On that day, several people rested together in the huge space on the second floor of Xiang Bingbing's house. Liu Xiaoyu, Guo Yun and Xiang Bingbing slept in one room, and Mei Fang, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi slept in another room.

Now Shenlongjia is still using the bamboo beds with mosquito nets from Baimei County in the early years. Xia Yuan remembered that Mei Fang and Lin Youxi slept on the bamboo beds without her when they were young. She acted cute and coquettishly and monopolized Mei Fang for the whole night. When Xia Yuan woke up the next day, her face was covered with marks of the bamboo bed.

Xiang Bingbing successfully made an appointment with her childhood friend Ran Rou to go camping together the night before, and she met everyone early the next morning.

Ran Rou is Xiang Bingbing's childhood sweetheart and they have a close relationship. Bingbing likes to call her Xiao Ran, while her sisters like to call her Sister Rourou directly. She looks like a girl with wheat-colored skin, short hair and bangs.

Although she had just gotten engaged, she still had a very young baby face. Everyone greeted Ran Rou after Xiang Bingbing introduced her to her.

"Hello, hello, classmate Ran Rou."

Mei Youyuan and his two companions were students who had lived in the "city" of Jiangcheng for more than three years. They spoke in a graceful and elegant manner. Xia Yuan was even more unreserved. She took the initiative to hold Qi Ranrou's hand and took her into the car.

Xia Yuan's powerful aura as a rich, beautiful woman made the country girl Ran Rou feel a little uneasy and embarrassed. She simply greeted him and sat in the car without talking much.

Because everyone had understood the situation from Xiang Bingbing in advance, they could understand her feelings and did not focus on Ran Rou. Instead, they occasionally brought her up when chatting about some topics so that she could be more calm.

Bingbing's mother is usually responsible for short-distance transportation, delivering goods to merchants in the forest scenic area. Having a car makes it convenient for her to take care of the children. Sometimes she can also take the children to the forest area to see their father. She is smart, capable and calm in her work, supporting such a big family by herself. She soon sent everyone to the Shenlongjia scenic area.

Because the scenic area here is very open, Bingbing's mother brought her own pass and took everyone directly to the core scenic area and gave everyone camping equipment.

"It's not too far up the mountain from here to find a camping site. Be sure to keep warm on the mountain and wear a jacket. You can stay at the Huiquan Hotel downstairs the next day. I've already said hello to your uncle Wang..."

After instructing Auntie, his eyes fell on Ran Rou, and then he said to her: "Rou Rou, don't think too much about things at home, have fun today."

"Yes, I know. Thank you, Aunt Xiang." Ran Rou nodded to her aunt.

"Next up is our Shenlongjia adventure, everyone follow me!"

When playing with Xiang Bingbing, she seemed to become an optimistic person again, but no one could tell whether she was showing this happy look to her childhood friend or it was just her nature.

Everyone waded through the stream, walked along the plank road, and followed the travelers up the mountain step by step. The scenery in the distance was gradually covered by layers of mountains, and a thin mist enveloped the mountains and rivers. Xia Yuan walked and looked, gradually forgetting the fatigue along the way, and quickly looked back at Mei Fang and said:

"Wow! Ah Fang, Youxi, look over here! This place is like a paradise on earth, it's so beautiful!"

As Xia Yuan was speaking, she staggered and almost fell. Mei Fang held her steadily from behind.

"Be careful, this is not a flat road."

Mei Fang patted Xia Yuan on the head, and Xia Yuan just pouted at Mei Fang and said, "I'm not a child! I just slipped."

Guo Yun has been getting closer to Liu Xiaoyu these past two days, and they always go out together. Liu Xiaoyu is not as delicate as Guo Yun, and she often gets out of breath halfway through the journey, so Guo Yun always stays behind and waits for her.

"I'm so sorry to bother you every time..."

Liu Xiaoyu panted and pulled Guo Yun's hand, "It must be boring to keep waiting for me, right?"

"It's okay. Everyone has things they're not good at. I used to fall behind and end up at the bottom."

"Are you talking about your junior high school days?"

Liu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I have heard Yuanyuan and the others talk about your fitness. It is really amazing that you can stick to it. If it were me, I would definitely not have such perseverance and determination."

"I can't say that my determination is purely my own..."

This reminded Guo Yun of the past when she and Mei Fang climbed up Laozu Mountain from Wuzu Temple together.

At that time, she stared blankly at Mei Fang's back. In order to be able to stand by his side in the future, she made such a big decision to lose weight for the first time. Thinking about it now, it was incredible. This precious memory also made the corners of her mouth slightly rise.

"Why are you laughing all of a sudden?"

Liu Xiaoyu approached curiously, "Did you think of something happy?"

Guo Yun did not respond directly, but said with some emotion:

"I think it's a happy thing to have someone you like, especially if you like someone who is very good... Even if you only like him from afar, you will unconsciously work hard to get closer to him, and then you can make yourself better. This process is very happy."

what……

Although Guo Yun spoke very casually, Liu Xiaoyu felt deeply moved when he heard it.

This must be referring to Mei Fang!

She was Mei Fang's deskmate, and Mei Fang must have taken good care of her in the past...

It is a very touching thing to think that when you are most unpopular, there is an excellent person who has always supported and encouraged you, cheered you on, and appreciated your unknown talents.

If I were Guo Yun, I would definitely fall in love with Mei Fang, that scumbag named Mei Gou.

Liu Xiaoyu was complaining in her heart, but her mind also unconsciously emerged the gentle scene when Mei Fangnian sent her home at the beginning of the year, told her her inner thoughts that she had no one to tell, and sat next to her and listened to her cry. She felt shy.

Yes, yes...

Humph.

Who can not like such a gentle Mei dog?

"Xiao Yu, how are you? If you can't walk anymore, let's take a break? Your face is red."

"Ah? Um... yes, I'm a little too tired..."

Liu Xiaoyu muttered as he took Guo Yun's hand, "Let's continue with the topic just now. So, does Yunyun actually have someone she likes?"

"Me? Well... I don't think so, haha." Guo Yun shook her head.

"But you have become very good, huh?"

As Liu Xiaoyu spoke, she deliberately raised her head to look at the back of someone walking in front of her, flirting with Lin Youxi and Xia Yuan. Guo Yun, who was kind and innocent by nature, was discovered by her and immediately panicked, "Well, well - let's walk faster! Otherwise, we'll get lost."

"Hey, Yunyun, wait a minute, my shoelaces are going to come undone!"

Xiang Bingbing and Ran Rou walked at the front of the team. While she was leading everyone in a loud voice, she chatted with her childhood friends about the past.

"We've developed so fast. There weren't so many hotel buildings before, but now they are everywhere along the road. There are also many cultural landscapes such as pavilions. The path we used to take to adventure up the mountain together can no longer be found now, except for the one in the forest area where my father took it."

"Times are changing, and everyone's life will definitely get better and better."
