Chen Yuting graduated from a prestigious university in Sichuan, but her family is from Suzhou, Jiangnan. After graduating from university for four years, she did not take the postgraduate entrance examination like many alumni, but chose to work directly. Her family's conditions were not very good. After graduating from university for four years, she
The cost may not be unaffordable for many families, but I know my own situation. The family is already heavily in debt, and besides, I have a younger brother.
It's a pity that the three years of hard work have paid off. At the beginning of the year, she was appointed as the lobby manager and her salary was doubled. This made Chen Yuting feel very happy. Years of hard work have paid off. Today, as usual, She usually gets off work at 10:30. Since her rental house is not far from the hotel, Chen Yuting always walks to and from get off work. This can be regarded as a way to exercise.
After work, Chen Yuting stopped wearing high heels. It was tiring. Even so, her long legs were very pleasing to the eye from a distance. They were wrapped in black stockings and had a bit of charm. She annoyed many young people along the way.
whistle.
From the hotel to the rental house, you need to pass through a park. If you take a detour, it will be much farther, so Chen Yuting usually passes through the park. There are street lights in the park, but it does not seem dark. There is a small lake named Jinming Lake in the park.
In summer, many people come to cool off, but it is only May, so there are not many people.
When passing by the lake, there was a sudden "crash", followed by a "crackling" sound of water splashing. Chen Yuting was startled, and her body reflexively stepped back. When she looked around, she saw only a black spot in Jinming Lake.
It seems to be a person swimming towards the shore.
Jinming Lake is said to be a lake, but in fact it is not very big. But it is said that the water is very deep. There should be underground water emerging from the ground. Didn’t you see that there are deep water warning signs in the lake? It is not hot in May now. Who knows?
Will you run into the lake and swim?
The sound of water splashing became louder and louder. When the figure swam closer, Chen Yuting saw it clearly. The man actually held a fish in his hand, skinning it alive, and the head startled Chen Yuting.
It's over a meter long.
Chen Yuting suddenly remembered that Jinming Lake has not dried up for decades. There are many big fish in it. A few years ago, someone caught a catfish over one meter long. It took more than an hour to catch it ashore. This matter
It even appeared in the evening newspaper, but there were big fish in Jinming Lake. How did this man catch it with his hands?
When the man who caught the one-meter-long fish with one hand came ashore, Chen Yuting exclaimed, it was him? The weirdo who ate more than a dozen dishes and several bowls of rice alone in the restaurant at noon today!
"Make you arrogant!" Shi Zhong slapped Heiyu unconscious. He was slightly surprised when he saw someone beside him, an old acquaintance. He smiled and said, "Beauty, this Chengdu city is really small!"
Chen Yuting didn't know why she stayed here. Maybe she was curious about such a weirdo. When she heard Shi Zhong's words, she asked blankly: "Did you catch this fish with your hands?"
"What do you think?" Shi Zhong smiled and shook his body, as if it were a dehydrator. The water droplets all over his body seemed to disappear when he shook it, and he came to the fire rack that had been prepared long ago.
.Took out the lighter and was about to start a fire when Chen Yuting said: "Don't you need to start a fire? Such thick wood cannot be burned, and ignition is not allowed here!"
Shi Zhong smiled slightly and suddenly became interested. She is really a very curious beauty: "Manager Chen, let's make a bet, shall we?"
"How do you know my name?" Chen Yuting was slightly stunned, then she felt a little wary, but her face remained calm.
Of course, her little moves couldn't be hidden from Shi Zhong, and he didn't care, "You have a work badge on the work clothes inside your coat. I saw it at noon. In fact, I think you can show off your figure better in a small suit and skirt. You
Today’s jeans and jackets…”
"I wonder what kind of bet this gentleman wants to make?" Chen Yuting said quickly. She was already a little overwhelmed by Shi Zhong. She had never seen a grown man actually commenting on a woman's figure and dress seriously, as if
This is not a vulgar act, but a sacred prayer.
"My name is Shi Zhong. If you don't mind, you can call me boss. I like to be called boss!" Shi Zhong smiled slightly and didn't care about Chen Yuting's interruption. He just stood up and went to the lake to disembowel the black fish.
, clean fish scales.
"Boss?" Chen Yuting was a little speechless. You looked more like an employee, but Chen Yuting didn't say this. "Old...Boss, what's the bet you want to talk about first?" Chen Yuting didn't know why she was like this.
Curious, the person opposite is a person of the opposite sex whom I have never met before. What if he has evil thoughts? But with those innocent eyes and clear eyes, Chen Yuting, who has many years of social experience, knows that this is not a bad person!
"How about we bet on whether my lighter can light this fire stand?" Shi Zhong said, breaking off a branch from the tree, and when Chen Yuting wasn't paying attention, he touched it with his palm, and the branches and leaves of the tree suddenly changed.
All the bark disappeared, but the barkless tree trunk became very hot.
Looking at several coke-like black spots on the tree trunk, Shi Zhong felt helpless. It seemed that he had not yet reached the state of perfection.
Just now, Shi Zhong burned the leaves and bark with the flame in his palm, but the trunk was not destroyed. This shows Shi Zhong's control over the flame. Shi Zhong has always believed that life is cultivation and can be practiced anywhere. Just like now, eating
A meal is also a form of cultivation.
"Light this fire rack?" Chen Yuting looked at the fire rack on the ground that was set up by a few arm-thick dry firewood, and said with some humor, "Are you sure you are not kidding me?"
"Do you look at me like I'm joking?" Shi Zhong said with a smile, "Or do you dare to bet with me?"
"Huh, whoever is afraid of you, let's make a bet, but tell me what the bet is in advance!" Chen Yuting thought for a while, gritted her teeth and said, she just couldn't stand Shi Zhong's confident and confident attitude.
Shi Zhong smiled slightly: "If I tell you the bet, if I win then, it will appear that I have planned it in advance. It is up to you to decide the bet!" It is also good fun to tease a beautiful woman before eating.
Chen Yuting thought for a while and said: "Since it is about lighting a fire, let's set the bet as a dinner, how about it?"
"Dinner?" Shi Zhong frowned. He was about to leave to practice at any time. He didn't know how many days he would stay in Chengdu. But thinking about it, this was just a joke. Why take it seriously? Even if he won, it would be hard for him to give up.
She treated herself to a dinner.
"What? You don't dare to agree? We agreed in advance that the so-called dinner will be cooked by the loser himself!" Chen Yuting said a little mischievously.
"Okay, I agree!" Shi Zhong said, looking at Chen Yuting who was a little excited, "Although your smile looks good when you go to work, it is far less warm than this time. Yes, keep it up!"
"..." Chen Yuting quickly put away her little girlish attitude and was a little surprised. Why would she reveal her true feelings so unabashedly in front of this strange man? Looking at Shi Zhong, she felt that this man was like a clear spring.
Extremely clear. Cooking in person? How could he come up with such an idea? What if he thought that he deliberately wanted to get close to him? Thinking of this, Chen Yuting's ears turned red with embarrassment.
If I lost, would I really have to cook for a stranger? No, no, how could I lose?
"Peng!"
A sound woke Chen Yuting up. Seeing Shi Zhong smilingly putting the black fish on the fire rack to grill, Chen Yuting was a little surprised. How could the fire rack be lit in such a short time?
"You didn't pour gasoline on your firewood, right?" Chen Yuting asked suspiciously.
"Do you smell gasoline?" Shi Zhong asked.
"...No! But can you tell me how you did it?" Chen Yuting asked curiously, as if now
"I told you I know magic, do you believe it?" Shi Zhong said with a smile.
"Don't tell me to pull you down!" Chen Yuting said angrily, feeling a little regretful in her heart. Wasn't it done for her to go home honestly? She had to stop, she had to make a bet with others, and she even came up with such a bet!
"Do you regret it? Haha, the bet just now was just a joke with you!" Shi Zhong said with a smile, as if he could see Chen Yuting's thoughts. Chen Yuting's face turned slightly red when she saw it, "Of course I am willing to admit defeat!"
I don’t know where Shi Zhong got the knife. He picked out a piece of fish and handed it to Chen Yuting: "Would you like some? It's very fresh fish. You can't eat such delicious fish usually!"
Chen Yuting thought for a while, she had already made a bet with someone, and she had to treat someone to a meal. She just happened to get to know them, so she was not polite. She took the knife and squatted down, taking a small bite experimentally. Shi Zhong saw it and smiled.
, he tore off a piece of fish and chewed it.
"Well...it's delicious. How did you make it?" Chen Yuting said in surprise.
How did you do it? Before slaughtering the black fish, you instilled a lot of life essence into it. All the cells in its body were mobilized by yourself, making it naturally fresh and delicious. Moreover, with my barbecue skills of more than two months, it was still
It's not a trivial matter.
"If it's delicious, eat more!" Shi Zhong said an advertising line.
Chen Yuting rolled her eyes, but she was not polite. In fact, the fish was really delicious. Compared with those big restaurants, although it did not have the complex taste of big restaurants, it was a bit more delicious. It melted in the mouth.
Nothing more than that.
"By the way, why do you dress up like this?" Chen Yuting asked the topic she wanted to ask the most. How could such a handsome young man be so poorly dressed? Moreover, judging from Shi Zhong's performance at noon, it was not that
A kind of person who can't even afford clothes.
"Oh, life is hard!" Shi Zhong looked at Chen Yuting and after holding it in for a long time, he said this, "Is it easy for me to practice cultivation?"
"It's only five thousand. Is it possible that you are a wealthy young man from a certain family who came out to experience life?" Chen Yuting said, thinking that there was indeed such a report in the past, saying that the boss of Shanxi Coal Industry specially gave him the money in order to prevent his son from having the aura of a nouveau riche.
After paying his son a thousand yuan to go out and live alone, the coal boss was finally reported by the media. The coal boss was very embarrassed.
