Why it never ends

Chapter 1079 Questions

After a moment of consideration, Hesta still stood there, waiting for the other party to approach. When the two sides were only seven or eight steps away, she took the initiative to ask: "Where is Turan?"

"She went to the city," Qizhen said. "She said that although the AHgAs agency had been evacuated, she'd better report to the workstation in the city - when we went there yesterday, they were already closed."

Hesta said "oh" and glanced at Tiexi inadvertently. Tiexi smiled at the right time: "Good morning."

"Teacher Tiexi brought me here to try out the horse," Qizhen smiled and touched the horse's head, "Turan didn't tell me there was a horse farm here before, I was so surprised——"

"I'll be busy later," Hesta said softly, "now——"

"You're busy." Qizhen immediately stopped her small talk, "We'll talk again when we have time."

Hesta nodded politely. When she turned around, she suddenly saw two words written on the bag that Qizhen hung on the saddle. She stopped suddenly, pointed at the word and said, "Lu?"

Qi Zhen was startled: "You can also speak the language of District 14...?"

Hesta shook his head: "I only know the basics."

She said it so lightly that Qi Zhen was a little unsure whether Hesta was being deliberately modest or it was really the case, but this unexpected development still surprised Qi Zhen.

"…This is my last name," Qizhen said, "I don't usually use it, but—"

"Salima!"

A familiar voice came from the direction of the construction site. Several people turned their heads at the same time and saw Santa running quickly towards Hesta.

"what happened?"

"There's a phone call for you, from the city, it's very urgent." Santa said.

"Got it." Hesta waved to Qizhen and Tiexi, "See you later."

The two said goodbye to Hesta on the spot, but until Hesta's figure disappeared, Santa had no intention of leaving.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Qizhen asked curiously.

"You, someone is looking for you too." Santa was still panting. She looked at Qizhen, "The person is already in the living room. Lailin Salima asked me to ask you what you want to do..."

Qizhen didn't understand: "Who's looking for me?"

"My name is..." Santa's mouth opened in mid-air, his expression suddenly turned panicked, "My name... I don't remember my name."

"It's okay, don't worry--"

"A man! With short hair!" Santa gestured with his hands. "Oh, and with a diamond earring—"

Qi Zhen's face froze: "Your last name is Tong?"

"Yes, yes, that's it." Santa nodded repeatedly, "He said he was your friend and came to see you."

Qizhen immediately turned around to take down her bag, and turned to go to the main house. After walking two or three steps, she turned back. Li clasped his hands together apologetically and said to Tiexi: "…Excuse me, could you please help me lead the horse back to the stable? I have something to do and need to go back first."

"No problem." Tiexi casually stretched out two fingers and touched his forehead, "Go ahead."

Watching Qizhen and Santa hurriedly leaving, Tiexi chuckled. She jumped on the horse and trotted leisurely on this long, deserted road.

……

On the second floor of the main house, Zoe, Victoria and Ende stood side by side, leaning against the handrail of the corridor.

The stranger sitting on the first floor had already noticed the strange scene on the second floor and didn't dare to look back - at first he took the initiative to greet these three people, but none of them paid any attention to him. It would have been fine if it was just that, but these people's eyes were all fixed on him, and they just stood there condescendingly.

There were footsteps outside the house, and the visitor stood up immediately to greet the man. Hesta also saw the strange face, and when she was about to ask who the other person was, she saw three people standing neatly upstairs.

Hesta couldn't help but frowned: "What are you doing?"

The three of them shook their heads at the same time and answered in unison: "Nothing."

Hesta's steps paused for a moment, and he couldn't help but take another look at the strange man on the first floor. This slightly doubtful scrutiny made the man feel a chill on his back, and the "hello" that he originally wanted to say was completely stuck in his throat.

When he watched Hesta walk up the stairs to the second floor with his limbs stiff, Qizhen and Santa finally appeared in the open space in front of the main house.

Qizhen's voice was already filled with anger before she even entered the room: "What are you doing here?"

"...I, I came to see if you are used to living here, I-"

"How did you find this place!?"

"I asked about the Mercury Needle Farm here..."

"Don't sit here, let's go!" Qizhen grabbed the man's hand and tried to pull him out, "You're really annoying--"

"Qizhen, don't be angry. I'm worried about you too..."

The two people's voices faded away. Zoe on the second floor turned her head and stretched out her right hand to Ende: "Give me money."

Ende reached into her pocket speechlessly, pulled out a brand new ten-robey note, and slapped it into Zoe's hand.

Victoria looked at the two hands in front of her, and smiled at Ende: "I told you not to gamble yesterday, but you refused to listen..."

"I give in. How did you guess that?"

Zoe didn't bother to explain. She looked at Victoria and said, "You guessed that he would come. Why don't you bet with us?"

Victoria raised her left eyebrow: "Forget it this time, but next time you are not allowed to bet on such things."

A few people were about to stand up while holding onto the railing when Qiqi and Eleven ran in from the door holding hands: "Where is Sister Xiaohe!"

Victoria didn't understand, but Ende had already pointed to the study.

The two kids ran up to the second floor, their cheeks flushed and their bodies covered in sweat. Hesta's study door was not locked, so Eleven rushed in directly.

"Jane! We have questions for you—"

Hesta frowned and made a "forbidden" gesture to Eleven. On the other end of the line was Turan, who was filling out some forms at her workstation. There were some accommodation information that needed to be confirmed with Hesta.

"Just for a moment!" Eleven also frowned, completely ignoring Hesta's gesture, "We'll leave after you finish asking--"

Hesta put down the phone and said seriously, "...I don't have time now. I'm going to go find Victoria."

Seeing this, Qiqi pulled Eleven's sleeve, and the two whispered a few words to each other, and suddenly shouted to Hesta in unison: "Excuse me!"

The room returned to silence again, and Hesta picked up the microphone again: "Yes, it's the two kids who came with me from District 14... Well, it's okay, you continue--"

Before he could finish his words, Eleven's loud voice came from outside the door: "Victoria! At what age can Qiqi and I find someone to marry?"

Hesta's hand holding the phone suddenly froze and he turned to look outside the door.

"...Uh, how many forms do you have?" Hesta stood up. "Can you fill out the other ones first? I'll call you back later."
