Until the day before he left for the countryside, besides leaving behind some receipts and one thousand yuan in cash for emergencies, Lin Fan’s storage space was filled with nothing but various necessities.
“Goodbye, you...”
Lin Fan was seen carrying a sack filled with some spare clothes. He stood before the gate of the courtyard, glanced back, left a sentence and left without looking back.
For this courtyard filled with all sorts of people, Lin Fan had absolutely no attachment.
It’s not like these people are normal!
None of the residents of this courtyard were normal!
After about ten minutes, Lin Fan arrived at the street where he was supposed to report. There were already over a dozen young people gathered, just like him, preparing to go to the countryside.
Lin Fan glanced at them but didn’t say anything. He then found a spot and sat down.
After waiting for almost half an hour, a few more young people arrived. Once everyone was present, the official in charge of arranging their trip to the countryside called them to the train station.
At the train station, there were naturally a series of instructions and an explanation of the policies regarding going to the countryside.
Lin Fan glanced around. Besides them, there were also many others like them. Just by taking a quick look, there were probably over a hundred people on their train.
This scene was happening in every city almost every day.
Woo woo woo
As the green train pulled into the station, the hundreds of young people headed to the countryside beyond the Pass were instructed to board the train.
Lin Fan didn’t say anything either. Carrying his luggage, he followed behind the crowd and boarded the train.
After getting on the train, he glanced around. The entire carriage was filled with young people going to the countryside!
Lin Fan had just settled into his seat when two people sitting opposite him, who were originally chatting and laughing, turned their gaze towards him.
Before Lin Fan could speak, the slightly more robust one of the two opened his mouth and said, “Hey bro, let’s get to know each other. My name is Wang Kai Xuan...”
“This is my brother Hu Ba Yi...”
Shhh...
Lin Fan, who had been rather indifferent, couldn’t help but be slightly startled when he heard the names of these two people.
But in an instant, Lin Fan calmed down.
He then nodded slightly at the two of them, seemingly unaffected, and said, “My name is Lin Fan...”
At this time, Lin Fan also took a closer look at the two of them.
Compared to the other young people in the carriage, the two of them had a unique aura, clearly not ordinary people.
Most importantly, besides Lin Fan and these two, all the other young people in this carriage had a pale complexion, indicating that they had been suffering from chronic malnutrition.
This was the norm for most people in this era!
But at this moment, Lin Fan, after a few days of cultivation and the replenishment from the beast meat, had a healthy and rosy complexion. He even had an air of refined elegance. Even though his clothes looked a bit old, he stood out significantly from the others.
Looking at Wang Kai Xuan and Hu Ba Yi, although they couldn’t compare to Lin Fan, they didn’t have the same sense of malnutrition as the others.
If nothing else, these two were likely to be the same people from Lin Fan’s memories.
Although Lin Fan was mentally prepared, he knew that this world was not just a world of “A Courtyard Full of Birds”.
Two days ago, when Lin Fan was buying supplies, he had encountered Xu Hui Zhen’s small tavern at Zhengyangmen. He had also bought a set of clothes at Chen Xue Ru’s silk shop.
Both “A Courtyard Full of Birds” and “Under the Zhengyangmen” were simply ordinary worlds.
The appearance of Wang Kai Xuan and Hu Ba Yi showed that this world was far more complex than he imagined.
Lin Fan was now eight out of ten sure that the Nine Gates were also in this world.
While Lin Fan was sizing up Hu Ba Yi and the others, they were also secretly observing him.
They had already noticed him before he even boarded the train.
Even though Lin Fan deliberately tried to hide it, his complexion, which was clearly different from the others, was enough to attract the attention of anyone with a discerning eye.
Although Lin Fan had an extraordinary aura, it was clear that he wasn’t an ordinary person.
However, neither Wang Kai Xuan nor Hu Ba Yi asked about Lin Fan’s identity. Instead, they first spent some time getting to know each other and chatting casually, building a rapport before casually asking:
“Brother Lin Fan, what place are you going to in the countryside...”
“Don’t worry about it, brother. I just thought you seem like a good guy. It would be nice to have someone to contact once we get there...”
Hearing Wang Kai Xuan’s explanation, Lin Fan naturally didn’t have any objections.
Lin Fan smiled, and without hesitation, said, “If I’m not mistaken, I’m going to a village called Kaoshan Tun…”
