Night is approaching, the setting sun is like blood, the afterglow of the setting sun is scattered all over the ground, and the light and shadow are intertwined.
In the courtyard, a straight figure stood in front of a bunch of flowers and plants. He held a watering can with his well-jointed fingers. He tilted it slightly, and the thin water flowed out, like a continuous drizzle, falling on the flowers and plants on the ground.
superior.
"Boss, Sister Jian is here."
Xiao Hei walked out of the villa and said in a heavy tone to the young man who was watering the flowers.
"Um."
A cool voice fell to the ground, but no emotion could be heard.
Hearing the sound of high heels hitting the ground, Xiao Heiben wanted to say something, but in the end he endured it, lowered his head slightly, and took two steps back.
The next moment, a woman's ridiculing voice came——
"Why, you're not very young, but you're like an old man who loves playing with flowers and plants."
Deng Deng, Deng Deng.
The high heels make a clear sound when they step on the ground.
The sound got closer and closer, and gradually, the speaker walked out of the villa and came to the backyard.
The little black man said "Sister Jian" and lowered his head again.
A soft afterglow fell on the slender and tall figure. The black leather jacket and leather pants perfectly set off the already beautiful figure. He was neither enchanting nor arrogant, simple and handsome, with short black hair and a gentle breeze.
After blowing it, every strand of hair smelled of decisive killing.
Her pretty and small face fell into the light, her fair skin and facial contours seemed to be dyed with a light layer of light, and her dark eyes refracted the dazzling light, but without any warmth.
It was a particularly beautiful face, but at the moment when the hair was flying in the wind, the skin on the right temple suddenly flashed, and a ferocious scar was exposed to the field of vision. As a result, this beautiful and handsome face suddenly gained a few points.
She was so fierce and domineering that every look in her eyes had a special meaning.
There was a smile in her eyes.
But this smile was very cold, biting to the bone, and inexplicably scary.
She glanced at the young man who was playing with flowers and plants, stopped, and stepped on a pair of stiletto leather boots. The high heels stepped on the stone paved path, but she felt as if she was walking on flat ground, very stable.
Placing the kettle on the round table next to him, Bai Chuan turned around and glanced at the woman standing behind him with an indifferent expression.
He asked: "What's the matter?"
"I came here specifically to inform you," Shui Jian folded his arms, raised the corners of his lips slightly, stared at Bai Chuan with eyes full of unknown meaning, and announced word by word, "I will take over the matter in two days."
After glancing at her, Bai Chuan said in a calm voice: "It's none of your business."
Shuijian sneered, and she walked straight to the round table in the backyard, sat down on the wooden chair, put her right leg on the left knee, put her elbow on the round table, and tapped the table with her fingers.
Raising her head, she looked at Bai Chuan who looked calm and said, "Don't think that I don't know. You lost your mind as soon as you met that woman."
Bai Chuan turned his head to look at her, his eyes slightly cold.
"Who are you showing these flower seeds to?" Shuijian reached out and picked off a leaf. The newly grown buds were spinning on her fingertips. She looked at Bai Chuan with a half-smile and said, "She wants to kill you."
."
Bai Chuan narrowed his eyes and took a step in her direction. He placed his left hand on the round wooden table. He lowered his head and looked at the water stream with cold eyes. There was a hint of playfulness in his voice, "Did I ask you not to touch these flowers and plants?"
"
His tone was quite relaxed, but his impressive momentum was not reduced at all.
"Ah, you did say that." Shuijian raised his brows lightly, moved his wrist, and wanted to throw away the buds, but then he thought about it, smiled at Bai Chuan, raised his hand and stuffed the buds into Bai Chuan's chest.
In his pocket, he said calmly, "I'm sorry for breaking your heart."
Baichuan was not angry at all, he took out the bud and moved it with his fingertips. Then with a flick of his finger, the bud flew out and hit Shuijian's face.
Because the distance was too close, Shui Jian had no time to dodge, and the bud hit him right between his eyebrows.
The two willow eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and those beautiful eyes were full of dissatisfaction and sullenness.
Bai Chuan stood up straight and said lazily: "Bring two new pots over tomorrow."
Shuijian sneered and said sarcastically: "Oh, I'm quite good at raising prices with my own people."
"Move it here with your own hands, I'll let you handle it this time." Baichuan said again.
Shuijian paused for a moment, and after weighing his request, he couldn't help but laugh, "Are you childish?"
"Why," Bai Chuan looked at her sideways, raised his hand to pick up the kettle again, and asked, "If I don't agree, can you go out tonight?"
This is true.
She came all the way here so she wouldn't leave empty-handed.
If Bai Chuan wants to protect a room full of flowers and plants, he must agree to her request.
However, Bai Chuan agreed too quickly, which made her feel unhappy.
Glancing at Bai Chuan, who was showing off his leisurely attitude towards the old man, Shui Jian smiled coldly, "Aren't you afraid that I'll hurt her?"
"I'm afraid she'll hurt you."
With one hand in his trouser pocket, Bai Chuan watered the flowers slowly.
Shui Jian: "..."
After a few seconds, Bai Chuan asked: "You went all the way and didn't bring any greeting gifts?"
Shui Jian's face was so gloomy that he could drop water, "I'll give you two bouquets of white chrysanthemums another day."
Feeling the growing murderous aura in the courtyard, Xiao Hei couldn't help but silently take a few steps back.
They are all leaders who can stand on their own, but now just saying their names can make people fearful.
But when they get together, they are like children, quarreling when they disagree, and quarreling even as they talk. Occasionally, when they get really angry, they even smash tables and chairs, which is also a spectacle.
But... they look calm and mature on the outside, but in fact they are just young people in their twenties.
*
Night falls.
Chai Xinyan arrived at the camp where she was supposed to rest on the second day before it got completely dark.
Before she even got close, she smelled the aroma of barbecue, and immediately felt as if she had gained energy. She felt that her heavy steps became lighter, and she accelerated towards the camp.
When the "enemy" started to attack, Chai Xinyan separated from the others. During the subsequent journey, she met Qin Xue once, but within a few minutes of staying with Qin Xue, the "enemy" launched another attack on them.
Attacked, she was forced to be separated from Qin Xue.
Several times after she took a breather, she was found by the "enemy" and started her escape journey. Even after escaping once, she found herself walking further and further away from the camp. It took a lot of effort to get back to the right road.
Come up.
However, those who hurried and hurried slowly finally arrived before dark.
She didn't feel surprised to smell the aroma of barbecue here. After all, in her group, Mo Shangjun, Ding Jing, and Ren Yu were all recognized for their abilities, so it was natural for them to arrive earlier than her.
But she didn't expect that all three of the people she was thinking about would actually arrive.
Not one or two, but all three.
The camp chosen for them was still a good location. Although there was no river nearby, there was a creek. Next to it was a flat grassland with very little gravel. The grass was green and filled with the breath of spring.
Despite the mosquitoes, this is a pretty good camping spot.
In the middle of the grass, several piles of bonfires were lit. The middle pile was the largest. The flames were blown messy in the wind, but the three surrounding ones were field fires built with stones, which could block the wind.
Next to the largest bonfire, delicious meat was roasting. From a distance, Chai Xinyan couldn't see clearly what it was, but based on the ingredients Mo Shangjun carried in his hand in the morning, she could vaguely guess that it was a hare. And that
On each of the three field fires was a water cup, which was steaming, and something must have been cooked.
Sitting by the fire was Ren Yu, who was looking after the ingredients carefully.
After swallowing, Chai Xinyan quickened her pace and walked in that direction.
However, after taking only a few steps, she noticed some movement near the edge. She subconsciously stopped and looked up in the direction of the movement. She suddenly saw Mo Shangjun and Ding Jing building a shelter.
They built three shelters with only three pieces of tarpaulin, but part of the tarpaulin was cushioned underneath, another part blocked one side, and the rest was slightly covered with branches.
The three shelters were all built in the same way, and now they are dealing with the branches of the third shelter, which should be completed soon.
Chai Xinyan couldn't help being surprised.
--So fast?!
——How long have they been here?
"Team leader, this way!"
At this moment, Ren Yu keenly noticed her, raised his voice and shouted, then raised his hand and waved towards her.
Chai Xinyan came back to her senses, glanced in his direction, and then trotted towards him.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's have some soup first."
Ren Yu said to her with a smile, and then handed her the freshly cooked soup.
The water cup was still a little hot, and it was wrapped in leaves. After Chai Xinyan took it, she didn't drink it in time, but said thank you, "Thank you."
Ren Yu looked around and then asked pretending to be curious: "Where are the others?"
"I didn't meet them on the road," Chai Xinyan said, and then asked, "Aren't they here?"
Chai Xinyan concealed what happened to Qin Xue.
In fact, there is not much to say.
Not long after Qin Xue met her, she asked if she had seen Ren Yu when she left the shelter last night.
But she asked very vaguely.
She originally thought that Qin Xue and Ren Yu were in the same group, but now that Qin Xue asked, Chai Xinyan's mind was filled with confusion, so she simply pretended to be stupid and said she didn't notice. The shelter collapsed as soon as she came out. The scene was too chaotic and she didn't notice anything else.
of.
Anyway, it was fooled.
This matter is related to Ren Yu, so it is naturally impossible for Chai Xinyan to tell Ren Yu.
"Oh," Ren Yu nodded and said with some emotion, "I wonder if they can make it back once it gets dark."
Chai Xinyan said: "There is only one road to get here in the second half, and since I showed them the map before, there should be no problem."
"Um."
Ren Yu nodded.
After blowing on the soup in the cup, Chai Xinyan took a sip, frowned slightly, hesitated, and asked Ren Yu, "How long have you been here?"
"I just arrived not long ago," Ren Yu said, "the two of them were a little earlier than me."
This is a good argument for colluding with Ding Jing and Mo Shangjun.
Moreover, if I really asked about the time, it would only be around four or five o'clock, so I wouldn't say it too early.
——Of course, if they really arrived at two or three o'clock, no one would believe it.
"oh."
Chai Xinyan responded, then took a sip of soup absently.
Because the light was too dark, I couldn't see clearly what was in the cup. I could only vaguely see that it was filled with grass. I thought it was almost the same as yesterday's material, but when I ate it again, I suddenly felt something different.
, chew it in your mouth, and it makes a crunching sound.
Chai Xinyan was stunned for a moment and asked: "What's inside here -"
"Oh, there are some small crabs, snake meat, and field mouse meat added to it." Ren Yu explained, "We have all eaten it. It's hard to describe how delicious this thing is, but it shouldn't kill anyone, so you can make do with it."
"
"..."
Why are the crabs not roasted and eaten, but used to make soup?
Although Chai Xinyan was confused, she was eating ready-made food and couldn't say much.
The taste is indeed indescribable. When Chai Xinyan put fresh branches into her mouth, she kept brainwashing herself with the words "I need to replenish energy." She did not spit out the shell of the small crab, and chewed it a few times.
I swallowed it down, but later I felt it was too difficult for my taste, so I chewed it perfunctorily and swallowed it directly.
Later in the meal, when Chai Xinyan drank the soup, she tasted a mouth full of sand and almost retched.
This was definitely the worst meal she had ever eaten in her life.
The vegetables and meat were mixed together and overcooked, and other than "unpalatable", the rest of the taste could not be tasted.
She simply suspected that Ren Yu was deliberately retaliating against her.
"Here, rabbit leg." At this moment, Ren Yu pulled off a leg from the roasted rabbit, handed it to Chai Xinyan, and said, "Our leader roasted this."
"...Thanks."
Chai Xinyan took the rabbit leg with some embarrassment.
At the same time, he also suppressed the ideas that had just emerged.
Seeing that she was eating the rabbit leg with great satisfaction, Ren Yu couldn't help but turned away and snickered.
Before Chai Xinyan came, Ding Jing gave him some advice. He specially washed the wild vegetables and then cooked them in a mess. After they ate them, he handed them the delicious roast rabbit made by Mo Shangjun, which was guaranteed to be enough to eat.
At the same time, it can make people unable to see that you are doing it on purpose.
At that time, Ren Yu thought this method was unreliable, but Chai Xinyan's reaction made him feel...
Tsk tsk tsk.
Ding Jing is really too insidious.
With the cup of soup from before, the rabbit leg in Chai Xinyan's hands now became an unparalleled delicacy. She ate it with gusto and wished she could swallow all the bones.
Roasted in Mo Shangjun?
Yesterday's fish and snake should have been roasted by Mo Shangyun.
Whatever comes to mind.
As soon as she thought about Mo Shangyun, she heard someone approaching.
I took a quick look in my busy schedule and saw Mo Shangjun striding towards this side, dragging a few fresh branches in his hand.
Ding Jing is still busy working near the shelter and is no longer building the shelter, but he doesn’t know what he is doing.
"Put this on."
As soon as he got closer, Mo Shangjun threw the branch to Ren Yu and gave a simple instruction.
"Boss, this is wet!" Ren Yu asked confusedly.
"Do you want to use the smoke as a signal to lure Qin Xue and Xiao Qiang over?" Chai Xinyan asked, but before Mo Shangjun could answer, she frowned, "No, just in case the 'enemy';
What should I do if I'm attracted?"
Looking at her sideways, Mo Shangyun said calmly: "No."
"How can you be sure?"
Chai Xinyan stood up quickly, her tone serious, obviously dissatisfied with Mo Shangjun's determined attitude.
Putting his hand in his trouser pocket, Mo Shangyun shrugged and said, "Because they gave us the map, and we don't need to tell them the location at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Shangyun turned around and walked straight to the shelter.
"..."
Chai Xinyan stood there blankly, a little embarrassed, and her face was burning. If it hadn't been dark, you would definitely have seen the blush on her face.
After quite a while, Chai Xinyan waited for the heat on her face to subside before she sat back blearily.
Chai Xinyan was in a bad mood. She ate the delicious rabbit legs again, but she felt that they were just like chewing wax. It was very unpleasant.
And Ren Yu didn't care about her, and didn't even say anything to ease the embarrassment.
Following Mo Shangjun's instructions, he took the fresh branches, broke them slightly, and placed the branches directly on the bonfire. He was not afraid of extinguishing the bonfire directly, so he piled other fresh branches on top.
There was no need to wait. Before he had finished releasing the branches in his hand, he saw smoke spreading out from under the leaves. The thick smoke extended upward from different directions and condensed into a large wisp at a higher place, becoming a smoke column.
Go straight up into the sky.
In order to prevent the smoke from dissipating too quickly, Ren Yu deliberately stood near the wind outlet to block the wind.
However, Chai Xinyan on the other side accidentally inhaled a puff of smoke into her lungs because she didn't dodge in time. She choked and coughed so hard that she almost coughed out her lungs.
Ren Yu couldn't help but touch his nose.
This time...he really didn't mean it. (To be continued)
