Seeing that it was time for dinner, Guo Bing looked around and asked, "Where's Huo Cheng?"
"He went to the Empress Temple." Zhai Xingchen said.
"Go and call him back, it's time to eat." Guo Bing said.
"I'll go." Pei Xu stood up after speaking.
Yan Zhi was staring at the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
The dishes cooked in the village head's house are delicious. Although there is nothing on the plate, they look delicious.
They really put in a lot of effort to climb the mountain this time, and he was really hungry.
But he looked at the divided chopsticks on the table, and his bamboo chopsticks had been used for a long time.
He really didn't discriminate against or look down on the country people. The cleanliness thing is really out of his control. He really can't stand it. He was watching when he suddenly saw Zhai Xingchen take his chopsticks and handed his chopsticks to him. over him.
The pair of chopsticks looked much newer, and the bamboo chopsticks were still white.
He glanced at Zhai Xingchen.
"The conditions in our countryside are relatively simple. There is a table of common meals, and the hospitality is not good." The village chief said with a smile.
Guo Bing said: "This is rich enough."
There were more than a dozen people in their group, and they barely sat down after setting up two tables.
The Empress Temple is at the entrance of the village, a bit far from the village chief's house, and Pei Xu made a long detour to get there. When he got closer, he saw Huo Cheng sitting alone on the steps in front of the temple.
"Brother Huo."
Huo Cheng looked back.
Pei Xu walked over there, and the view over there was very good, with gusty mountain winds, he could see the full valley, Lijia Village and Zhangjia Village could be seen faintly.
"It's really good." Pei Xu said.
He stood there blowing the wind for a while, and said, "Let's go, the meal is ready, and I'll be waiting for you."
Huo Cheng stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks. Pei Xu turned his head and took a look inside the temple. The temple had been in disrepair for a long time and looked very sacred and solemn, but the inside was cleaned up very clean. The statues of gods were gentle and compassionate, watching them .
As the two walked back, Huo Cheng suddenly patted Pei Xu's back forcefully. Pei Xu turned around and saw Huo Cheng's serious expression, so he asked, "Have you settled the matter with your company?"
Huo Cheng said, "No big problem."
Pei Xu said, "Let me just say, the day before yesterday you were inquiring about financial management, the company shouldn't have any major problems."
Many local villagers held bowls and looked at the two of them curiously while eating. There was a wind blowing from above, and Huo Cheng smelled the faint scent of mint on Pei Xu's body. Pei Xu was only wearing a black T-shirt, his back was tall, and his exposed arms were evenly long and fair. rich second generation.
Zhai Xingchen and the others have already taken their seats. When Guo Bing saw the two of them coming into the courtyard, he smiled and asked, "You won't go to the Empress Temple to make a wish, will you?"
The village chief smiled and said, "Have you agreed? The temple in our village existed in the Song Dynasty. It is very effective. People from eight villages around here will come to offer incense!"
"Is it so effective?" Huo Cheng said with a smile, "Then I'll make one after dinner."
There were still two vacant seats at their table, between the village chief and Zhai Xingchen. Pei Xu sat next to Zhai Xingchen, and he sat next to the village chief.
The village head asked Huo Cheng: "You can drink, right?"
Huo Cheng said, "It's okay."
Hearing this, the village head immediately poured him a glass too.
After pouring for Huo Cheng, the village chief wanted to pour for Pei Xu again. Zhai Xingchen said: "He can't drink, his alcohol capacity is too bad. We probably have to carry him down the mountain after he drank."
"I'll just drink tea." Pei Xu said with a smile.
Huo Cheng wanted to smile, but looked at Yan Zhi again, and asked, "Doesn't Yan Zhi drink?"
Yan Zhi smiled and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I won't drink."
He now uses one less cup if he can.
"Come on, village head, I'll drink with you." Huo Cheng said.
After drinking for three rounds, they talked a lot. When talking about their occupations, the village chief looked at Huo Cheng in surprise and said, "I really don't know it's the big boss."
Huo Cheng said with a smile: "It's a bit rough, isn't it? Unlike the three of them, it seems that they are all together, and I am alone."
Huo Cheng drank a lot of wine, and his face was obviously drunk. After eating, he was still drinking and chatting with the village head. Seeing that the bottle of wine was about to bottom out, Pei Xu said, "Brother Huo, drink less." , I have to go down the mountain later.”
Huo Cheng said: "I met Uncle today, and I'm very happy. I drank two more glasses, and nothing happened."
The village head was even happier when he heard the words: "Did you drink enough? I still have a bottle of Wuliangye hidden in my house." He turned to his wife and said, "Go, take the bottle of Wuliangye I hid. bring here."
Guo Bing quickly stopped: "Don't drink, don't drink, I think it will rain today, and we have to go down the mountain later, or we will be trapped."
"What are you afraid of when it's raining, we have all the places for you to sleep here," said the village chief.
Huo Cheng was slightly drunk, and said with a blushing face, "Well, Uncle, you keep Wuliangye. Next time I come, I promise to drink it up for you."
Zhai Xingchen laughed when he heard it.
Of the four of them, only Huo Cheng could get along well with the locals. He was sincere, frank, and had the boldness that country people like most.
It's just that Huo Cheng, who was too bold today, looked a little decadent and sad, even Yan Zhi could see it, sitting next to Zhai Xingchen, slightly approached, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Brother Huo today?"
"There is something wrong with his company, he seems to be in a bad mood." Zhai Xingchen said in a low voice.
Yan Zhi said, "No wonder."
Seeing that Huo Cheng had had enough to drink, and there were about two taels of wine left, Pei Xu picked up his wine glass and poured most of it into his own. Seeing this, Huo Cheng reached for his cup, but Pei Xu raised it up: "Come on, village chief, I'll toast you."
Huo Cheng had no choice, the three drank a glass of wine at the end, and after drinking, Pei Xu immediately poured a bowl of tea for the village chief and Huo Cheng. Holding the tea bowl, Huo Cheng silently patted Pei Xu on the shoulder, sighed, and sat there smoking with the village chief.
It was getting darker and darker, and the sun could not be seen at all. Guo Bing stood on the stone pier in the yard and looked into the distance, and said worriedly: "Didn't the weather forecast say that it was sunny and cloudy? Why do I look like it will rain?" .”
The wife of the village chief said: "It rains a lot on our mountain, and the weather forecast is not accurate."
"Then we have to leave quickly, it's going to rain, we don't have to be trapped on the mountain for several days."
Hu Ying and the others also called and asked if they had gone down the mountain.
"Then let's go?" Guo Bing said.
"Can Brother Huo go?" Zhai Xingchen asked.
Huo Cheng stood up when he heard the words: "I'm fine, I'm fine."
Huo Cheng promised to come back next time, and also promised to donate to Xiaosong Temple, and also to pay for the repair of Niangniang Temple. Before leaving, the village chief took his hand, which was called a warm reluctance.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, they bid farewell to their fellow villagers, and with the help of the villagers, they walked down the mountain. When they were far away, Huo Cheng looked back again and saw all the old and young people in the village standing at the Niangniang Temple and watching them. The children were innocent Naive, still shouting "Goodbye, uncles".
"Be careful." Zhai Xingchen helped Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng stood firm, smiled, and said, "When I see them, I think of our village."
"Is it the same in your village?" Yan Zhi asked.
Huo Cheng said: "It's more remote than this, but it's not as high as this village. The road was opened the year before last."
"Brother Huo paid for the road repair." Guo Bing said loudly from the front.
Zhai Xingchen said: "If you want to get rich, build roads first. There is no better way than to relocate the Xiaosong Temple. The roads can't be repaired. It's too troublesome to go up and down, and it will trap the elderly and children." Living."
"They have already issued a relocation policy, but many elderly people in the village are unwilling to leave." Yan Zhi said.
Zhai Xingchen looked back at the old people above, and his heart sank. These old people might never leave here for the rest of their lives. But this place is so poor and remote, and he doesn’t know what their future looks like. He looked at those old people and children, and saw them all so excited. Their excitement did not come from pork, rice, cooking oil, or red envelopes, but because they finally saw There are fresh faces and new things to come.
"I really want to take you to my hometown." Huo Cheng said suddenly.
Zhai Xingchen froze for a moment, turned his head to look at Huo Cheng, Huo Cheng smiled at him, the smell of alcohol softened his rough and ruffian air, Huo Cheng, who was softened, looked tired and sentimental.
"Maybe we will all have the opportunity to visit your hometown in the future." Zhai Xingchen said.
Blown by the wind on the mountain, the smell of alcohol on Huo Cheng's body became more and more mellow. The mountain road below was very steep, so Pei Xu took the initiative to support Huo Cheng's arm.
Huo Cheng said with a smile: "You'd better not be so kind to me, I will still hate you with gnashing teeth in the future, we are all rivals in love."
The staff next to him laughed, and Guo Bing turned around and said, "Be careful, watch your feet more."
Hu Ying and the others were waiting for them at the entrance of Zhangjiacun.
Everyone didn't stop, and went directly down the mountain. When they got halfway, the rain began to fall.
Fortunately, it was just a drizzle, and it came and went. When everyone returned to the road down the mountain, the rain stopped, and the sky was not as dark as before, but the wind was relatively strong. Blow, it's still cold.
"Get in the car quickly." Guo Bing said, "Don't catch a cold."
Huo Cheng was the first to get in the car, and collapsed on the seat after getting in the car. Hu Ying sat next to him and asked, "How much wine did you drink?"
"Pei Xu and Yan Zhi didn't drink, I drank a little, mainly Huo Ge drank too much." Zhai Xingchen said, "How is your food?"
"We ate noodles." Hu Ying said, "I'm not even full."
When they were about to return to their residence, the rain suddenly fell, and it was still torrential. Guo Bing has always said happily: "It's a good thing we went down the mountain early, it's so dangerous."
Huo Cheng opened his eyes when he heard the sound of rain on the car window, and stared out blankly with his face pressed against the window.
Zhai Xingchen glanced at him, feeling a little worried.
After returning to the place where we lived, everyone went to take a shower and change clothes. After finishing the work, it was getting dark. The rain outside had dropped a lot, but the night was darker than usual. The program team didn't prepare dinner for them tonight, and asked them to make it themselves. Zhai Xingchen will cook, and Duan Yihua and the others will help. Zhai Xingchen found out that Huo Cheng hadn't shown up, so he asked Pei Xu, "Where's Brother Huo, didn't you come down?"
"He fell asleep after taking a shower," Pei Xu said.
"Did you drink too much?" Wen Nuo said.
"I'm too tired today, Brother Huo is carrying so many things." Zhai Xingchen pursed his lips as he said.
Huo Cheng didn't come down until dinner was ready.
"Are you still drinking?" Hu Ying asked Huo Cheng with a smile.
Huo Cheng said, "Drink."
"Stop drinking." Zhai Xingchen said, "Drink more porridge."
"I just want to drink today." Huo Cheng asked Hu Ying, "Do you want to drink? If you do, I'll go to the program team and ask for a bottle."
Hu Ying said: "Drink, it's the best time to drink on a rainy day. Let's have another drinking night talk!"
"Ask if they have red wine!" Duan Yihua shouted.
Lin Qingning said with a smile: "What's the matter, I want to drink."
"The program team also wants us to drink. The ratings of the episode where we drank in Nancheng were so good." Hu Ying said, "Shall we play truth or dare? It's the third stop."
In previous seasons of "Red and Blue Signal", the third episode of Truth or Dare was a screaming climax!
"The seven of you can play." Zhai Xingchen said, "The truth is too exciting, I can't stand it."
Hu Ying laughed when he heard that.
After a while, Huo Cheng came over with two bottles of wine, one bottle of white wine and one bottle of red wine.
"I didn't make appetizers, so everyone will make do with it," Zhai Xingchen said.
Huo Cheng unscrewed the wine cap and asked, "Is there anyone who doesn't drink?"
"Let's all have some, it's interesting for everyone to drink together." Hu Ying said.
"Does Pei Xu drink?" Huo Cheng asked.
Pei Xu said, "Let's have a drink."
The program team set up a pergola in the yard on the first floor. They ate dinner under the pergola. A bunch of cameras were set up next to it. With the light from the program team, not only was it not cold, but it was also hot. Huo Cheng said to Wen Nuo who was beside him, "Change seats with Pei Xu."
Wen Nuo got up and changed seats with Pei Xu.
Everyone chatted and drank, the atmosphere was extremely warm, harmonious, and laughter continued.
After eating, it was late at night and the wind was getting colder, so Duan Yihua went in and brought some blankets, and they sat beside them wrapped in blankets and watched Hu Ying and Huo Cheng drink. Duan Yihua turned her head to look at the rain outside, it seemed that the rain was getting heavier, and the drops of water dripping from the corner of the arbor were connected into a line.
"Brother Huo is going to drink Pei Xu down today?" Lin Qingning asked with a smile.
Duan Yihua turned around when she heard the words, and saw Huo Cheng clinking glasses with Pei Xu.
Pei Xu's face was full of wine, and his neck was completely red.
Hu Ying said, "Come on, Brother Huo, I'll have a drink with you."
Pei Xu got up to go to the bathroom, and stopped by the kitchen when he came back.
Zhai Xingchen was cooking soup in the kitchen when Pei Xu came in.
Pei Xu's face was flushed, and his eyes were a little dazed, but when he looked at him, he was more straightforward than usual, and even felt a little lecherous.
"How much did you drink?" Zhai Xingchen asked.
Pei Xu said, "Estimated...Twenty taels? I seem to be able to drink more than usual today."
As he spoke, he walked behind Zhai Xingchen and glanced into the pot: "What are you cooking?"
"Sweet soup."
"Give me a bowl first."
Zhai Xingchen said, "It's not cooked yet."
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Pei Xu. Pei Xu put his hands in his trouser pockets, and he didn't lean on his shoulders, but just looked at him and smiled.
"Just drink it," Zhai Xingchen said.
"Brother Huo is in a bad mood, I'll have a drink with him." Pei Xu said, "I know it well, I won't get drunk."
When Pei Xu went back outside, Zhai Xingchen turned off the fire and poured out the sweet soup. Seeing him coming out with the soup, Duan Yihua and Lin Qingning immediately stood up and came to help him.
Each person has a bowl of sweet soup, steaming on the table.
"I won't drink after finishing this cup. Let's drink soup." Zhai Xingchen said.
After drinking the last glass of wine, Huo Cheng suddenly leaned over, touched Pei Xu's forehead, grabbed his neck, and patted him on the back.
Hu Ying said from the side: "You two can be together."
Wen Nuo and the others just laughed, but they were strict and serious, leaning on the seat in a daze.
Huo Cheng let go of Pei Xu and said, "My good brother, seeing that I'm in a bad mood, why don't you drink with me."
He smiled as he spoke, probably because of drinking too much wine, but his eyes were a little moist, and he laughed silently. At this moment, Pei Xu was lying on the table.
He drank too much.
When he lay down, his arms were directly on the plate, Wen Nuo and the others were startled, they quickly helped Pei Xu up, and moved the plate aside. Pei Xu stretched out his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll lie down for a while."
Wen Nuo wiped the vegetable soup on Pei Xu's sleeves, Huo Cheng stretched out his hand, took the paper towel from Wen Nuo's hand, and wiped Pei Xu's sleeves carefully, with a rather sad expression on his face. Pei Xu shook his hand suddenly, and Huo Cheng said domineeringly, "Don't move."
Duan Yihua smiled and pulled the blanket up, and Lin Qingning leaned her head on his shoulder.
The rain outside seemed to be a little less, and finally stopped.
After drinking the soup, they all sat silently on the chairs and listened to the rain. They were slightly drunk and their hearts were moist.
"You can ask the camera teacher to focus on taking pictures of Pei Xu and Huo Cheng." Screenwriter Liu said to Guo Bing.
What looks good in romance is not necessarily love.
Wino yawned.
Duan Yihua also yawned, lifted the thin blanket and said, "Are you sleepy? Let's go upstairs."
Everyone got up one after another, but Pei Xu was more drunk than before. Huo Cheng helped Pei Xu upstairs again, and Yan Zhi watched Huo Cheng and Pei Xu's backs from behind, thinking, he would never have such a friendship.
Pei Xu drank too much and couldn't climb up to the upper berth, so Huo Cheng put him on his lower berth, and when he recovered from the alcohol, he slumped down against the wall.
Because some people drank too much, the atmosphere in the room was very harmonious and enthusiastic. Everyone was talking and laughing, and washed in batches. After Zhai Xingchen finished washing, he found that Pei Xu had sat up, but his expression was still a little dazed, while Huo Cheng fell asleep directly, snoring slightly.
"Are you feeling better?" Zhai Xingchen asked.
Pei Xu stood up suddenly and said, "I seem to have fallen into something."
He fumbled in his pocket drunkenly.
"What?" Zhai Xingchen asked.
Pei Xu didn't answer him, and walked out drunk.
Wen Nuo sat up from the bed and looked at Zhai Xingchen. Zhai Xingchen put on his coat and said, "Looking for something."
He chased him out and walked to the stairs, only to see Pei Xu leaning against the wall and smiling at him.
He stands in the blind spot of the camera.
Pei Xu beckoned him over.
Zhai Xingchen suppressed his voice and said, "What are you doing?"
He hadn't walked in front of Pei Xu when he saw Pei Xu fall towards him, so frightened that Zhai Xingchen rushed forward, and Pei Xu was hugged by his waist.
Aware of Pei Xu's plot, Zhai Xingchen was about to back away, but Pei Xu lay on his shoulders, as if he had eaten cartilage powder, and his hands were honest and didn't touch him. Zhai Xingchen hugged Pei Xu's waist, and heard Pei Xu say, "I said I knew what I knew, but I drank too much."
Zhai Xingchen whispered, "Okay, stop acting like a baby."
Pei Xu just laughed, sniffed his neck, was very sad but also warm, and said, "When I'm drunk, I feel that I love you even more... Zhai Xingchen, Zhai Xingchen, Zhai Xingchen."
He silently said his name, his heart was hotter than wine.
