"Grandpa Tea, the mountain road is rugged. Why don't you rest in the phone and I'll let you out when we get to the top?"
Zhang Zian, Fa Ci, and Old Time Tea got out of the taxi and looked up at the hill in front of them.
The Hidden Fog Mountain was not very tall, and it looked like it had never changed. There were green pines and cypresses on the mountain, and the peak was surrounded by clouds and fog. It reminded Zhang Zian of the fog in the Mahogany Forest.
It was also a working day, and there were very few tourists around. Even if it was a holiday, there wouldn't be many tourists. After all, it was not a famous scenic spot, and it only occupied a corner of the tourist map of Binhai City. There were no historical sites on the mountain, and the only special feature was that it was surrounded by clouds and fog all year round. Who would go to such a place and climb a mountain without a cable car just to look at the fog?
There were only a few vendors at the foot of the mountain, and they sold nothing more than food, water, umbrellas, and walking shoes. The umbrellas and shoes were the kind that could be easily recognized at a glance, such as Adik, Panther, and so on. Even Fen Xixi's goods would not be so straightforward. They were probably limited to one-time use, and one might not be able to wear them down the mountain.
Old Time Tea narrowed its eyes and looked at the mountain. It saw a few white-haired old men in pure white training clothes holding unsharpened swords going up the mountain together. It smiled and said, "There's no need. I can't even climb this mountain."
It was these old men who got off the bus with Zhang Zian. It was probably because the bus was free for people over 70 years old, so they took the bus to climb the mountain every day.
"I didn't mean it that way … Anyway, if it were me, I would rather be carried up the mountain." Zhang Zian shrugged.
"That's why I said you're an idiot!"
Someone abruptly answered him.
Fa Ci did not feel anything, but Zhang Zian and Old Time Tea were both stunned.
Did they meet someone they knew here?
There weren't any difficult customers in the shop that day, and the weather was cooler, so he suggested going out to play, but Vladimir had left early in the morning. Pi was catching up on updates because it had taken too much time off to go to the United States. Famous was busy taking photos with its fans. Xinghai didn't really want to go to crowded places, and the area on the top of the mountain was too small. There was no place to play hide-and-seek, and the other elfins were all homebodies … After asking around, only Old Time Tea and Fabio responded to his call. The latter had just arrived and was curious about Binhai City.
Since it was an impromptu idea, he didn't make it a big deal. He hadn't decided where to go before he left home. He didn't come to Misty Mountain until he got in a taxi. Even the staff didn't know he was here, let alone the others.
Those bastard customers and netizens always called him Yi, so he was very sensitive to this word. He thought that he had met an acquaintance and was secretly delighted. Who in the world didn't know him now?
The voice came from behind him. He was about to turn around to see who it was. At that moment, a young girl passed by him and passed him. The phone was raised to her mouth, and a clear voice continued, "You should exercise more!"
It turned out that she was on the phone, not talking to Zhang Zian.
Her hair was neither too long nor too short, barely reaching her shoulders. A strand was lifted by the breeze, covering the side of his face, so he couldn't see her face clearly. However, he was sure that he didn't know her, because there were no junior high school students in his social circle.
Whether it was his previous circle of classmates, colleagues, or his current circle of customers and friends, most of the people he knew were adults similar to his age, college students, or older people, and a small number of primary school students. However, he didn't know any teenagers from junior high school to senior high school, regardless of whether they were male or female.
The reason was very simple. Students from junior high school to senior high school were more stressed, and teenagers at this age had no economic autonomy, let alone the conditions to raise pets independently. Therefore, even if there were teenagers at this age who came to the pet shop, they would come with their parents. Very few of them came alone, and even if they did, they would only look around and not buy.
The girl who passed by him just now, from her height, figure, voice, and skin, seemed to be in the category of a junior high school student, so he was sure that he didn't know her.
Unless she was a fan of Snowy and had seen him in the live broadcast room, it was hard to say.
In addition, she was wearing a sailor suit and knee socks. There was some kind of mark printed on her chest, which might be the school badge. Of course, this couldn't prove anything. After all, many girls would buy sailor suits to wear because they looked good.
The sailor suit complemented her, full of youthful vitality. She walked briskly towards the mountain road, and at the same time, she kept the phone to her mouth.
What made Zhang Zian a little confused was that, although he only glanced at her from a close distance, he found that the sailor suit seemed to be made of a very special material. It was not cotton or linen, but it was shiny like silk, and it could maintain its shape instead of sticking to the body. Maybe it was because he had never seen clothes made of this material on girls before.
In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared around the corner of the mountain road.
"Zian, what's wrong?" Old Time Tea saw that he was lost in thought, so it asked aloud.
"Nothing, let's go."
Zhang Zian came back to his senses. He was afraid that he would be regarded as a pervert if he stared at the back of a junior high school girl, but he was really just curious about her clothes.
"Is this the Mt. Hidden Fog that you guys were talking about? It really lives up to its name. "Fa Tui had been looking around, and everything was new to him.
Fa Tui had a collar and a leash around his neck. Since he was going to pretend to be a dog, he had to look like one. He didn't mind being leashed, because when in Rome, do as the Romans do. He was an animal of the forest, and in the city, he had to follow the rules of the city.
"The air here is much better than in the city, but it's still not as good as in the Mahogany Forest," Zhang Zian told the truth. He still didn't understand why Fa Tui chose to leave the wolves in the Mahogany Forest and follow him to Binhai City.
Because of the lack of heat island effect and the lush vegetation in the city center, the temperature here was cooler than in the city, and the air was fresher. It was a good place to spend the summer, if there was a cable car.
"It's okay, we all have our own benefits." Fa Tui smiled lightly. "I think there are too few people in the forest. Other than the sporadic hikers, there are only sneaky gangsters. It's better to be in the city, where I can meet all kinds of people."
After arriving at the pet shop, Fa Tui had been squatting in the corner of the first floor during the day, quietly observing the customers coming and going. If he saw a cross hanging around someone's neck, he would sincerely smile.
He regarded coming to the East as his own trial, and he quickly fell in love with this place. He was immersed in the new culture and unique atmosphere. The only regret was that people were always a little scared when they first saw him. Zhang Zian tried his best to convince people that he was actually very gentle, although he looked a little fierce.
