Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Driver: "Okay, wait for me for three hours."

Putting away his phone, Fang Rui stood by the roadside and turned to look at Lü Huan. She was wearing a pink tracksuit, looking neat and clean, not at all sloppy, and didn't look like she had been in the mountains for half a month.

Knowing he would be staying in the mountains for a long time, Fang Rui was bound to make preparations. A portable washroom (talisman version) would solve the problem of taking a shower.

A single food storage pouch can solve many problems, not to mention that Fang Rui carried twenty or thirty food storage pouches, and perhaps even he himself couldn't remember how many things he had brought.

Moreover, each trip brought new problems, causing Fang Rui to carry more and more things with him.

Chapter 45 Return to the Village

The journey back to Biyou Village was smooth, without any problems, and we arrived at a town near Biyou Village.

Although I've had a pleasant time with that driver over the past month, he's still an outsider and I can't take him to Biyou Village.

Therefore, for the last leg of the journey, Fang Rui and Lü Huan took a taxi, got off at a certain point on the winding mountain road, and then walked along the dirt road through the mountains to Biyou Village.

While passing through a forest, Fang Rui suddenly stopped and looked at a woman squatting by the roadside. Because she had her head buried between her legs and her hands covering her head, Fang Rui could not see her face and could not guess her age from her appearance.

However, based on the known information, the pure white short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts, along with the fair arms and thighs, exude a youthful vibe, making it highly probable that she is a young woman.

but……

Rather than being full of youthful energy, it was more like a somber atmosphere.

It felt as if I was under dark clouds, shrouded in a heavy, oppressive atmosphere.

"He must have had a very tragic experience."

Fang Rui thought to himself with these feelings. His initial thought was to ignore her and pretend he hadn't seen her, but then he remembered that when he encountered difficulties, it was Ma Xianhong, whom he had met by chance, who had given him help.

Let me ask first, and I'll help if I can.

After thinking for a while, Fang Rui, who had already made up his mind, looked at Lü Huan and gestured for him to hurry up.

In some matters, it's better to leave them to women to handle.

Having spent nearly a month with Fang Rui, Lü Huan could read Fang Rui's eyes. After receiving a signal from him, she immediately walked towards the woman squatting by the roadside.

"Are you alright?" Lu Huan asked, standing in front of the woman and bending slightly at the waist.

Upon hearing Lü Huan's question, the woman trembled slightly, then slowly raised her head, revealing her hidden face to Fang Rui and Lü Huan.

She's not bad-looking; in fact, she's quite pretty. Unfortunately, her haggard appearance diminishes her overall attractiveness considerably.

"...It's nothing." The stranger's voice was a little hoarse.

No, no, no, you don't look like you're alright at all.

Lü Huan mentally complained, staring at the strange woman for a while. From her haggard face and low spirits, she could tell that what she had gone through had dealt her a heavy blow, so she lost the desire to ask any further questions.

He turned to look at Fang Rui, his eyes conveying, "What should we do?"

Fang Rui raised an eyebrow slightly, conveying the message: "You haven't gotten anything out of me, and you're asking me what to do?"

Lu Huan glared at her, conveying the message: "How do you want me to ask her? Reopen her wounds?"

Fang Rui squinted and conveyed the message: "I didn't tell you to reopen her wounds. Just ask her if she needs help, and if so, what kind of help?"

Lü Huan: "…………"

No, what do you want to do?

I've done a lot of bad things in the past month, so I'd like to do some good things to balance it out.

After silently complaining to herself for a while, Lü Huan looked at the stranger again. Perhaps because she had turned to look at Fang Rui, the stranger was also looking at Fang Rui.

Even after Lü Huan looked away, the strange woman did not look away.

"Do you need help?" Lü Huan said succinctly, "If it's something simple, we're willing to help."

Upon hearing this, the stranger looked away and stared at Lü Huan for a moment. Her eyes held a serious expression, indicating that she was not just giving a perfunctory answer.

She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and whispered, "...I want to find a place where no one knows me and start a new life."

If Lü Huan hadn't been an extraordinary person with exceptional hearing and eyesight, he wouldn't have been able to hear what the woman was saying.

"Find a place where nobody knows you and live there..." Lü Huan repeated softly, commenting, "Simple requirements, huh?"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Fang Rui.

Sir, this lady has made a wish. Would you like to help her fulfill her wish?

Fang Rui rubbed his cheek and thought for a moment before slowly nodding: "The request is simple, you come with us."

He felt that no one in Biyou Village should know this woman.

"Where to?" The stranger looked up at Fang Rui again upon hearing this.

“There’s a village not far away, that’s where we live. I don’t think anyone there would know you,” Fang Rui explained, pointing towards the other side of the mountain.

After considering for a couple of seconds, the stranger agreed, "Okay."

The woman answered almost instantly, which surprised Fang Rui, who then carefully examined her.

How should I put it? This lady is a bit thick-skinned!

Isn't she worried about encountering bad people?

So easily you left with two strangers?!

As Fang Rui was thinking this, the woman slowly stood up, and something he hadn't seen before came into Fang Rui's view: a gray-brown fanny pack hanging from a zipper that wasn't fully closed, with two wooden sticks sandwiched between it...

No, perhaps it's the hilt.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Fang Rui's expression became subtle. Would an ordinary woman carry a knife with her?

Nail clippers are a possibility, but judging from the thickness of the handle, the knife in the waist bag wouldn't be small; it's probably about the size of a Santoku knife.

That is to say...

This lady is extraordinary!

While Fang Rui was analyzing the situation carefully, Lü Huan was talking with the woman.

"Hello, my name is Lü Huan, and his name is Fang Rui."

"Hello, my name is Fu Rong."

The simple conversation made Fang Rui, who was usually serious, pause in surprise. The name sounded so familiar.

Fang Rui quickly realized why the familiar name sounded so familiar, and his gaze towards Fu Rong became somewhat subtle.

So it turns out she was Fu Rong, who had repeatedly associated with scumbags, incurred huge debts, and was forced to flee to the deep mountains.

I thought this reason was very powerful and outrageous at the time.

The initial build-up in that part of the story led Fang Rui to believe that Fu Rong was a great villain in the past. However, a plot twist came as a surprise to Fang Rui: Fu Rong joined Biyou Village simply because she was unable to repay her debts and had nowhere else to go.

In a sense, that's quite impressive.

It's not something an ordinary person can do to date so many scumbags and then ruin themselves so badly.

Calling it "powerful" is perfectly acceptable.

Try to calm your mind and avoid showing any unnecessary emotions.

"Let's go."

After saying that, Fang Rui took the lead and walked at the front, since the other two did not know where Biyou Village was.

After traveling along the mountain road for a while, we arrived at the entrance of Biyou Village.

After a month's absence, Biyou Village has changed somewhat, but not much.

Lu Huan and Fu Rong were very surprised when they first met Biyou Village.

In their minds, the countryside should consist of two or three Chinese-style bungalows, some new and some old, with paddy fields and vegetable gardens scattered around the houses.

A yellow dog lies in front of the house, chickens and ducks roam the fields, and villagers work in the fields or chat in the village.

But what is the scene that appears in their eyes now?

It was completely different from what they had imagined!

The difference can be described as "vast".

Chapter 46 Fu Rong's Surprise

The neat and spacious stone-paved road stretches straight into the distance, with neat rows of Chinese-style bungalows on both sides like parallel lines, standing silently opposite each other. The medieval Victorian-style streetlights stand quietly on both sides of the stone-paved road, like soldiers on guard.

Things are still relatively normal up to this point, but...

Fu Rong's gaze fell upon the fields, where some villagers walked along the ridges, watering the vegetables with watering cans.

Watering the vegetables is fine, but the key problem is that those shower heads can spray a lot of water continuously even though they don't have water pipes.

Could it be a magical artifact?

However, Fu Rong knew very well that magical artifacts were difficult to forge. A weapon refiner could only forge a limited number of magical artifacts, and it was impossible for him to waste time creating several identical magical artifacts that had no power.

But the facts were undeniable, and she was momentarily confused.

What puzzled him even more was that... not far away, villagers wearing power armor were carrying solid wooden pillars, each seven or eight meters long, through the village.

The powerful footsteps resounded in Fu Rong's heart like the beating of drums.

It looks... like it's not fake.

So... are those power armors real?

Fu Rong looked conflicted. Current technology isn't that advanced. Even weapon refiners... might not be able to create power armor, right?

Besides these, there were many other strange things in the village, but Fu Rong was no longer in the mood to pay attention to them.

All signs indicate that she has arrived at an extraordinary place.

As for Lü Huan... she was much calmer than Fu Rong, and her expression was more one of curiosity than shock.

After being exposed to Fang Doraemon Rui, she didn't show much surprise when she saw the scene of Biyou Village; instead, she observed it with curiosity.

Compared to Lüjia Village, Biyou Village is more advanced in some aspects, but less advanced in others.

After wandering around for so long, why haven't I seen a TV or a computer?
