In the southeast of France, in the suburbs that are already regarded as the border, on a relatively remote mountain road,
The moment the pale young man in the Humvee smiled and played the last card in his hand, the 'landlord' beside him immediately put his hands on his head and shouted in unbearable shock:
"Ahhhhh!! Eight possibilities! Take the thief! Why is it me who loses again!"
And looking at Fang Ran, who had lost twelve games in a row, thinking that he had heard such embarrassing screams countless times in the past few days, he finally realized that he was not a special case among the participants at all, he was simply good at anything.
,
Tang Bing stared at him speechlessly and complained silently:
"Senior, how about accepting the reality? Why do you always feel like you lose because of a desperate comeback..."
"I won't listen! I won't listen! I won't listen! You gourd!"
From Texas Hold'em, Blackjack, Jinhua... and finally to Landlord, Fang Ran, who had never won a single game and had begun to reject reality, scratched his hair frantically.
Then he looked at Kerim in front of him, with the last stubborn and arrogant expression of a villain on his face, and snorted coldly:
"Don't think that you will win this way. I'm just not good at poker. Next, let's use the deck... Wuwuwu!!!"
"Stop, senior, don't be embarrassed! Playing cards with a layman who doesn't understand anything will hurt your duelist soul!"
Then before the declaration of war was over, Tang Bing covered his mouth with force, desperately trying to prevent him from further embarrassing himself. Looking at the interesting scene between the two people in front of him,
There was nothing forced. Krim couldn't help but laugh softly. In one afternoon, he laughed from the bottom of his heart more times than in the past six months.
As for the blond figure in the driver's seat, Osphia also glanced at the young man's side face inadvertently through the rearview mirror with her blue eyes.
Fold the passenger seat flat, and the Hummer, which is highly capable of off-road use, will have ample space.
The clear and bright sunshine and sunset, the fresh and ethereal forest fields, the clear blue sky dyed with warm colors, the rural air flowing in from the car window that makes people unable to help but take a deep breath, and the looming villages.
I rushed out romantically from the golden boiling Paris last night, walked through the pastoral and beautiful hillside roads, and occasionally leaned against the car window to encounter the surprise of the scenery.
The four people chatting, playing cards, laughing, and rushing to the mentor's base in the afternoon felt more like a road trip where they temporarily left behind their burdens than running around in a huge plan.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your exchange of feelings,"
After taking a look at Fang Ran, who was quarreling and quarreling with Tang Bing because his plan to regain the situation through a duel was blocked, Osphia's voice sounded calmly and calmly from the driver's seat.
"We have almost reached the border with Switzerland, and because I don't know why the French officials didn't chase us, the time spent on the road was much shorter than expected,"
"Before it gets dark, it looks like we have to find a secluded place to stay for a while."
With the existence of white wings, it is easy to avoid radar searches and cover up the figure to cross the border customs from high altitude, but even so, it still needs the cover of night.
If you act during the day, the risk of exposing your traces is still too high.
Hearing her words, Fang Ran, who was holding two small hands, and Tang Bing, who was about to strangle his neck, were both stunned. Krim smiled gently without any objection:
"It would be better if nothing happened."
After coming back to his senses, Fang Ran looked at her and asked curiously:
"Exactly how long will you stay?"
"It takes about three hours until late at night when it's completely dark."
After taking a look at the time that showed 6:00, Osphia answered calmly while holding the steering wheel.
"Eh~ about three hours..."
While he was easily grabbing Tang Bing's two small hands with a puffed-up face, Fangran heard Ao Feiya's reply and lengthened his tone thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something.
Then he seemed to have thought of a great idea, and suggested with excited eyes:
"Then how about we go find a B&B nearby and take a short break!?"
B&B?
When they heard Fangran suddenly say such words, except for Tang Bing who was still puffing up his face and exerting force, Ophia and Kerim were slightly startled.
"Anyway, it's still early in the evening, so I have nothing to do. How about we go find a B&B nearby to celebrate the successful resolution of this crisis!?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You must have forgotten that our whereabouts cannot be exposed, right?"
His blue eyes glanced at Fangran, who was bright and full of expectations. Osphia's clear words reminded him of their current situation, and her eyes looked straight ahead without any fluctuations.
"It's too early to celebrate the resolution of the incident."
"Eh... doesn't it matter? We are going to find our mentor soon anyway. Once he unlocks the scene blockade, our mission will be completed soon. We can just leave the remaining troublesome issues to those big shots,"
That's right, for example, a certain head maid who has become ridiculously powerful in the past hundred years!
Fang Ran, who had already distributed the pots, looked at Ophia with sparkling eyes, winked at her and smiled happily:
"It will all be resolved smoothly in the end. It doesn't matter if we celebrate a little early."
I didn't know what to say to his unfounded confidence for a moment.
Osphia heard Fangran behind her persevering, persuading herself in the same way as a child. You didn't need to look at the tone to tell that his face was full of uncontrollable expectations.
"This is the French border. There is no surveillance in a small town like this in the countryside. If you only stay for a few hours, the risk of exposure is minimal,"
"We have to find a place to stay anyway. If we go to a B&B, we can not only rest, but also have a good meal of local specialties. Hulu and Kerim will definitely be hungry too!"
The more she talked, the more she looked forward to it. By the end, Fangran had completely concealed her desire to go to the French countryside to eat, drink and have fun, and shouted righteously:
“And it’s so rare to come to France and not experience a country B&B. It would be a shame. I don’t want to eat compressed biscuits anymore!”
"That last sentence is your true thoughts, senior..."
Still being grabbed by the wrist, Tang Bing muttered in a low voice with his face already turning red. On the other side, Krim also laughed helplessly and echoed:
“If it doesn’t cause any trouble...B&Bs in the French countryside are indeed worth a short stay.”
"Yes, yes! Yes, yes!"
Upon hearing this, Fangran nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then tried his best to open his eyes wide, hoping to impress Osphia with his handsome appearance.
Slowing down the speed of the car slightly, Osphia looked at him and Tang Bing and Klim on both sides through the rearview mirror with her blue eyes.
I don’t know if they saw the intention of all three of them to go, or if they considered the fact that they were about to find a mentor and this was a real situation,
Recalling the afternoon when Fangran woke up and the four of them were laughing in the car like friends,
Osphia sighed in helplessness at the end, and then spoke in a still clear and calm voice:
"We must leave at ten o'clock at the latest."
"Yah ho——!!!!"
The moment a cheer rang out, the black Hummer, which was running straight towards the border, turned around at a highway intersection.
In the perfect orange warm sunset, the wilderness and countryside of the hillside forest open towards a small rural town nearby...
