Although it was summer, the evening in Qinhan Village was exceptionally cool. Zi Yang and Xiao Hei picked some thick tree trunks from other families' pyre, and burned the fire in the courtyard vigorously.
Lao Wang made a simple barbecue grill and stuffed the cleaned wild boar belly with fruit, coriander, and wild onions. The seasoning package saved from the instant noodles before was also used. Lao Wang mixed the oil and condiments. Small basin, with a thin layer of brush on the inside and outside of the wild boar.
As night fell, everyone was sitting around the fire, tasting fresh fruits, watching the red-roasted wild boar, smelling the tangy fragrance, and moving their index fingers.
Xiaoli sat next to Brother Xiaosha, listening to him talk about the fun of playing game and picking wild fruits during the day; Zi Yang and Su Rui sat together, looking thoughtfully at the beating firelight, and chatting in a low voice from time to time.
Lao Wang was the busiest, turning off the grill from time to time, brushing the oil and seasoning over and over again. Occasionally, I even went to the house to look after the boar in the pot.
The light of fire reflected on everyone's face, and everyone's expression revealed the joy of a harvest, sometimes mixed with a trace of fatigue from a busy day.
Finally, you can start eating.
Lao Wang used a knife to cut off the roasted browned wild boar skin and put it on a banana leaf and handed it to everyone. The thin and crispy pig skin was attached to the pork and it was chewed in his mouth. It was fragrant and crispy. It melted in the mouth. After chewing it, The cheeks are still fragrant and the aftertaste is long.
After eating a layer of outer skin, the inner layer of red meat is cooked again.
Lao Wang used two thin wooden sticks as chopsticks to pick up the stuffed wild fruit from the belly of the wild boar and put it on the banana leaf to match it with the wild pork. It looks like red is red, yellow is yellow, and green is green. Don't have a taste to eat.
This wild boar feast ended successfully after eating for an hour or two. Zi Yang looked at the wild boars left. Although he was unwilling, his stomach was round and his stomach was full, leaving no gaps.
Xiao Hei gathered the bones that everyone had thrown on the ground, wrapped it with banana leaves, and was about to go out, but Zi Yang shouted, "Why are you going?"
Xiao Hei stopped and turned to look at him.
"Are you going to feed your pet cat again? I warn you, don't provoke that beast, if other messy things attract, see how I can clean you up!" Zi Yang said sharply.
Xiao Hei hesitated, then turned around and went out.
Zi Yang shook his head helplessly: "Oh, adolescent children, really rebellious!"
"Su Rui, I heard Xiaoli say that you are not feeling well today. Why don't we go back these two days? This place is short of doctors and medicines. If you get sick, you will be in trouble." Xiao Shao said to Su Rui with concern.
Su Rui just wanted to answer, but Zi Yang opened his mouth to snatch the conversation: "Oh, brother Su Rui, Su Rui is not as delicate as you think. She is not your pampered brother, so if you have a piece of skin on your hand, you will go screaming. hospital… "
Lao Wang also agreed: "Don't go back in a hurry, and play for two more days! Let's not worry about food and clothing now, what are you worried about?"
Brother Xiaosha was robbed of white by Zi Yang and Lao Wang, and looked embarrassed and bowed his head silently.
After a while, I mustered my courage and said to Su Rui: "When I went up the mountain today, I saw a nice place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and beautiful scenery. Should I take you and Xiaoli for a walk tomorrow?"
Xiaoli clapped her hands again and again: "Okay, okay, my feet are almost ready, I just went out to sketch!"
Zi Yang curled his mouth and frowned and said, "Oh, I said Brother Xiaosha, you are a little ignorant of the current affairs. If Su Rui is uncomfortable, you still have to take her out for a stroll. Isn't this embarrassing?"
No matter how good Ye Zhiqiu's self-cultivation was, he was so ridiculed by Zi Yang, his face was a little unsustainable, and he stood up unhappy and went straight back to the house.
Zi Yang saw that Xiao Shao finally disappeared, and turned to Su Rui with a triumphant smile.
Su Rui frowned and shook his head lightly, stood up and said coldly, "I'm a little tired, let's rest first."
Seeing Su Rui's departure, Zi Yang looked at Xiaoli and Lao Wang helplessly, and said embarrassedly, "It's still so early, and all of them have gone to bed. Do the children of rich people live like this?"
Xiaoli made a grimace at Zi Yang, "Yeah, you! You can't be polite. Cousin and the others have gone out for a day, and they have to look at your face when they come back. Don't bring such a run person!"
"Is it so obvious?" Zi Yang explained with a blushing face: "His old man's suggestions are not reliable. I, I, are also for his good."
"Yes, no one else is reliable, you are the only one, and I don't know what you have done all day long..." Xiaoli wanted to continue to accuse him, and Lao Wang quickly winked at her. Xiaoli gave a "hum", winking back at him.
"Come on, help me pack things up." Old Wang said to Xiaoli, and the two of them cut the leftover wild boar with a knife and wrapped it piece by piece in banana leaves.
Zi Yang saw that they were busy there, and felt boring to sit there alone. After thinking about it, he went back to the tent and lay down unhappy.
After Lao Wang and Xiaoli packed their things, they sat there chatting for a while, and went back to sleep in the tent.
This is the case at night in a mountain village. Entertainment activities are very scarce. There is no other choice but to go to bed early and get up early.
At midnight, Zi Yang suddenly opened his eyes to see that the old Wang beside him was asleep, quietly got up, tiptoed to the door, grabbed a wild boar leg wrapped in banana leaves and walked slowly out of the courtyard.
As soon as he got outside, Zi Yang speeded up his pace and walked hurriedly, and soon he came to Wang Juan's hiding place, stood outside the door hesitating, and coughed slightly.
"Who is it?" a female voice asked calmly.
"It's me, Li Ziyang, Captain Jin's friend." Zi Yang said with a pinched throat.
"Come in." The female voice said softly.
Zi Yang opened the door and saw Wang Juan sitting neatly on the edge of the bed, her expression indifferent, as if she had been waiting for him a long time ago.
"This, it's so late, didn't you bother you?" Zi Yang said embarrassingly.
"No, I woke up when I heard someone outside." Wang Juan said softly, standing up and looking at Zi Yang.
The moonlight outside was very bright. Zi Yang looked up and down at the girl standing opposite. She had short hair, a melon-seeded face, and a thin body. She looked very delicate, and her complexion was much better than she had seen the previous two times.
The first two times when I saw Wang Juan, she was lying in a state of ill health, and she did not see her face clearly. This was the first time that Zi Yang saw her face clearly.
"You, what's the matter with you?" Wang Juan asked, watching Zi Yang staring at herself silently.
"Oh, we hit a wild boar today, and I brought you a wild boar leg over—by the way, isn't Captain Jin at home?" Zi Yang asked knowingly.
"Well, he said he has to go out for two days if he has something to do." Wang Juan took Zi Yang's wild boar leg and put it next to him, "Thank you, Brother Qiang told me that when he is away, let me find you when he is away.
"Yes, just call me if you have something-if it's too late, you can just shout!"
Wang Juan nodded and did not speak any more. The two fell silent for a while. After a while, Zi Yang scratched his head awkwardly: "If it's okay, I'll go back first. Please pay attention to safety and tell me what you need."
Wang Juan nodded and pointed to the corner of the wall and said: "By the way, Brother Qiang brought two wetsuits back last time. He told me to bring them back when you come."
Zi Yang looked at it and said, "I don't need it right now, just put it here first, and get it when you need it."
"I have nothing else to leave." Zi Yang and Wang Juan nodded, turned and walked out of the door, and soon heard the sound of closing the door behind them.
Walking alone on the path full of moonlight, Zi Yang couldn’t help feeling sighed. Although Wang Juan is not the kind of girl who looks amazing at first glance, she has a kind of gentle and peaceful beauty on a closer look. Type of girl, there is a feeling that people want to live with her, no wonder people like Jin Guoqiang like her.
What is a little strange in Zi Yang's heart is that now that Jin Guoqiang is not by his side, Wang Juan does not panic when she sees strangers at night by herself at the National People's Congress, but looks very calm.
Thinking of Jin Guoqiang, Zi Yang couldn't help but frown again. He didn't know how he was investigating. He hoped that there would be no outsiders in Qinhan Village besides them. The Gurkha mercenaries were just their unfounded worry.
Zi Yang was thinking wildly, and suddenly there was a soft noise behind him, like the sound of stepping on a dead branch. Zi Yang stood there at once, not daring to move. The cold hair on his body was standing up, and his instinct told him that there was something behind!
"What are you doing here?" Su Rui turned from the shadows and looked at him with a smile.
"Let me go, when did you learn the same as Jin Guoqiang? Sneak out and scary!" Zi Yang said, stroking his chest exaggeratedly.
"I think you came out sneakily, so you followed sneakily." Su Rui smiled, looked up at Wang Juan's house and asked: "How is she recovering now?"
"It's better! Two days ago, it looked like she was going to die. Now, like a normal person, did you give her a resurgent elixir?" Zi Yang asked in confusion.
"Actually, it's nothing, she is not a serious illness at all, it's just low blood sugar. Supplementing the right amount of sugar can return to normal." Su Rui said with a smile.
Zi Yang suddenly realized: "No wonder you have to give her vitamins and sugar cubes. It turns out that there is a routine? Why don't you tell Jin Guoqiangming, it looks like this guy is so anxious that he wants to kill someone."
Su Rui said sternly: "At that time, it was unclear whether Captain Jin was an enemy or a friend. I didn't tell him the truth, and I hope he would have scruples in case of a shot.
Zi Yang touched the scabbed wound on his neck and said happily, "It's really scheming, no wonder Mr. Jin Yong said,'The more beautiful girls are, the more they will lie!'"
Su Rui's face sank: "Can you not speak so badly?"
Zi Yang looked a little angry at Su Rui, and simply salivated and leaned over and said: "It's just a joke, don't you always say that men are not bad and women do not love?"
Lonely man and widow in the wilderness, looking at Su Rui, who has beautiful legs, tall chest, and anger in front of him, Zi Yang doesn't know which nerve is the wrong line, and even becomes lustful, and reaches out to hug her. .
"I'm not in the mood!" Su Rui whispered, reaching out to push him away. Zi Yang thought that Su Rui was shy, but he moved more...
When the two were "entangled", suddenly there was a chuckle from a distance. Zi Yang hurriedly turned his head to look, Su Rui took the opportunity to push him away.
"Who?!" Zi Yang asked tremblingly as he looked at the figure walking by.
