At five o 'clock in the morning the next day, they came to the river together. Sure enough, there was a raft that could hold three people.
Zhang Quan said, "This is the raft we tied up before. After returning from the forest, we left the raft here. Originally, we planned to use this raft if other people happened to come here one day to explore. But at that time, we knew that the possibility was very small. I didn't expect that we would have to use it the second time. Life is really unpredictable!"
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "When we come back this time, we will put the raft here. This time, we will put two rafts directly. If someone really comes in the future, we can use whichever one we want."
"Yes." Zhang Quan smiled and said, "Let's start tying the raft."
They were all experienced in this aspect. Soon, they made a new raft, and then pushed both rafts into the river. Xiao Bing and Red Rose sat on one raft, while Zhang Quan and the other two stepped on the other raft. Then they began to row with the oars they had prepared in advance.
This river was very long. They rowed about five or six hundred meters in total, and then finally reached the other side of the river.
When they reached the shore, they all sat down on the bank. Even Zhang Quan, who was a martial artist, slightly panted. He waved his hand and said, "Sit down and have a rest for a while."
As for Li Hong, he was even more tired at this time. Because Zhang Xin was not needed when rowing, she seemed to be fine. At this time, she took a towel, soaked it in the river, and wrung it. Then she handed it to everyone one by one. After Zhang Quan wiped it, she washed it in the river again, and then handed it to Li Hong.
Li Hong took the towel and looked at Zhang Xin with burning eyes. The moment he took the towel, he touched Zhang Xin's hand. Zhang Xin was not angry or shy, but quickly withdrew her hand. Then when Li Hong handed the towel back, she took the towel and washed it in the river again. Li Hong said behind her, "You've worked hard."
Zhang Xin said calmly, "This is nothing. The ones who really put in the effort and worked hard are you men. What I did as a woman is nothing."
Li Hong took the opportunity to praise, "Zhang Xin, you're really different. If it were other girls your age, there would be many who would be willing to help. Look at you, which ordinary woman can endure this kind of hardship? Oh, by the way, Red Rose is the same. Both of you are the best among women. You are beautiful and hardworking. You are the role models of women. "
Li Hong praised her loudly on purpose, but Red Rose acted as if she did not hear it. Zhang Xin said in a flat tone, "Oh, is that so? How many girls like me, who are 25 or 26 years old, still have everything they need every day?"
Zhang Xin obviously didn't give Li Hong any face. Li Hong was embarrassed for a moment. He smiled and said, "There are a lot, but you are humble. This is normal."
Zhang Xin ignored Li Hong. After washing the towels, she handed them to Xiao Bing and Red Rose. Xiao Bing and Red Rose thanked her one by one.
Xiao Bing asked, "Brother Quan, how long do we have to walk?"
"Hmm … I don't think we'll be able to get there today, but we'll definitely be able to get there tomorrow. According to my estimation, our journey this time is about the same as the last time we came here. I think we'll be able to get out of the forest by noon tomorrow. Alas, but it does feel very dangerous there. I am still hesitating about how we should go in this time. "
Li Hong was shocked and said hurriedly, "Brother Quan, are you going in with us? It's too dangerous there. I can't accompany you. Last time, I almost … "
Thinking of the last time, Li Hong still had a lingering fear. His face suddenly became pale.
Xiao Bing said, "What happened to you last time, it's very likely that there's some evil aura in it that can draw out the evil thoughts in a person's heart. No one's heart can be pure. There are good people and evil people. Good people usually have the good side, while bad people have the evil side."
Zhang Quan and Zhang Xin nodded after hearing this. They said, "This is very reasonable. There is no perfect person in the world. No matter how good a person is, he will inevitably have a little bit of selfishness."
"Yes, after all, we are all human beings. We all have seven emotions and six desires. So the power inside is likely to be able to draw out the dark and evil side of a person's heart. The more good a person has, the less evil he will be affected. If a person has a lot of evil thoughts, then this person will be affected earlier. "
Zhang Quan and Zhang Xin nodded repeatedly. But Li Hong was very unhappy. He suddenly stood up and looked at Xiao Bing angrily. He asked, "Do you mean that I have a lot of evil thoughts?"
Xiao Bing shrugged and said, "I'm not talking about you. But according to my analysis and judgment, that's the case."
Li Hong said angrily, "That's what you mean, Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing, I was kind enough to accompany you here, but you mocked me. Everyone has seen what kind of moral character this person has. I don't think we should have brought him here at all. This is a wrong choice. Humph, I guess a person like you must have a lot of women around him. If I were a girl, I would not choose you as my boyfriend no matter what. "
Li Hong talked for a long time, but in the end, he still brought the topic to boyfriend and girlfriend. And he deliberately glanced at Red Rose.
Red Rose suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, Li Hong is right …"
Li Hong was overjoyed. Did Red Rose also find Xiao Bing's ugly nature? Or was Red Rose conquered by my performance in the past two days? Uh, although I didn't have any good performance these days, in any case, my looks are not bad, and my temperament is not bad … Anyway, it seems that I have a chance. Hehe, as long as I can get such a stunner, this trip will not be in vain. If I can get red roses, even if other women in the world give them to me for free, I won't be interested in them.
In Li Hong's impression, all the women he had met were basically not even comparable to a toe of Red Rose. No wonder he had been coveting Red Rose's beauty these days, and even did not hesitate to target Xiao Bing.
Just when Li Hong was ecstatic, Red Rose said, "Li Hong is right. There are indeed a lot of women around Brother Xiao Bing. They are all Brother Xiao Bing's girlfriends. I am also one of them …"
Li Hong, "…"
Zhang Quan, "…"
Zhang Xin, "…"
No one expected that Red Rose would suddenly say this. For a moment, they were all dumbfounded.
Li Hong's face turned green and then red. In his opinion, what Red Rose said must be false. If Xiao Bing really had so many girlfriends, how could such a beautiful woman like Red Rose be willing to share a man with other women? Perhaps only the emperors in ancient times could have such treatment.
But the more false it was, the more it proved that Red Rose was not interested in him at all. She was even teasing him. Obviously, what Li Hong thought of, everyone else also thought of.
Li Hong felt extremely embarrassed for a moment. He was so angry in his heart. But seeing such a beauty standing in front of him, he could not vent his anger on Red Rose. He could only put all the blame on Xiao Bing.
Li Hong snorted, "Xiao Bing, in short, what do you mean? Are you going to apologize to me or not? If you don't …"
While Li Hong was shouting, Xiao Bing suddenly said he was sorry. Li Hong thought that Xiao Bing would definitely not apologize, because young people were more impulsive. They would not give in to each other when they were serious. He had thought of the following words and was ready to directly fall out with Xiao Bing. But he did not expect that Xiao Bing would say sorry so casually, as if there was no pressure at all.
Xiao Bing's apology directly dispelled Li Hong's next words. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was stunned for a few seconds. Then he saw several strange eyes looking at him. He immediately felt his face burning. He wanted to cry but had no tears. On the surface, it seemed that he had won, but in fact, Xiao Bing defeated him easily. Xiao Bing showed his generosity with just three words. He had laid out so much, but Xiao Bing did not respond at all. It seemed that he was like some shrew, which made him want to immediately find a hole to hide in.
Damn it, can you not play your cards so unconventionally?
Will you die if you act according to common sense?
Are you still a young man? How can young people deal with things like this? Why are you not angry? "
Then he saw Xiao Bing looking at him with a kind of pity and sympathy. That kind of look was like a normal person caring for a patient, or even a mental patient. It seemed that Xiao Bing was asking, "What's wrong with you? Do you have a fever?"
Li Hong felt depressed, but he really could not say anything. In his opinion, Xiao Bing's move was to retreat in order to advance. All his ways were blocked. Whether he spoke or not, he was afraid that Red Rose and Zhang Xin would have a worse impression of him. He had to sit on the ground angrily. He pretended to be angry, looked elsewhere, and did not say anything.
Zhang Quan looked at Xiao Bing and nodded with a smile. There was a bit of admiration and gratitude in his eyes. He was grateful that Xiao Bing could not be calculative and turn a big problem into a small one.
