Wang Qing's fair face showed a little shyness.
She is a person who doesn't like to cause trouble to others.
But in this weather, if it is not handled promptly and properly, the rabbit meat is likely to go bad.
Who told her that she was not good at cooking and didn't know how to deal with such an unskinned rabbit?
Besides, such a fat rabbit should be eaten fresh.
There was some expectation in Wang Qing's eyes, and she looked at the man in the suit with bright eyes.
The man in the suit was silent for a moment: "...where did you get this rabbit?"
I don't know if it was Wang Qing's misunderstanding, but I always felt that there was an indescribable bitterness in the man's tone.
"This..." Wang Qing blinked twice with an innocent look on his face, "caught in the forest. As expected of someone who grew up in the mountains, they are full of energy. They are so fat and look delicious."
When Wang Qing said this, he suddenly stopped and glanced at the man in the suit nervously.
He lowered his voice and asked cautiously: "Could this be raised by people in your village?"
"Haha." The man in the suit twitched the corners of his mouth twice with a smile, "Guests from afar, you think too much, the village will not keep such a beast."
Beast?
Wang Qing looked at the rabbit in his hand, which was breathing out but not in, and felt a little puzzled.
Just like this, can it be called a beast?
But after thinking about it, Wang Qing understood.
This village looks remote and poor, and the education level is probably not high.
The villagers have not studied much, so they use the wrong words, which do not convey the meaning.
Wang Qing thought very thoughtfully: It's better not to point out this small problem, so as not to embarrass them.
"If you don't know how to raise them, can you handle them?"
Wang Qing carried a bloody rabbit in one hand and scratched his head with the other, still not giving up the idea of eating the rabbit.
Man in suit: "..."
Wang Qing grabbed the pocket of his coat, opened it, and showed the mushroom inside to the man in the suit.
"Look, I picked so many mushrooms when I came here, and I'm going to stew them with rabbits."
When the man in the suit first saw the mushroom, he immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He suddenly jumped back and distanced himself from Wang Qing.
"Don't take it over!" The man in the suit shouted loudly, showing an expression of extreme resistance.
Wang Qing didn't expect the man in the suit to have such a big reaction, so he put away his pocket with some regret.
"Hey, for such a big person, why is he still such a picky eater?"
The man in the suit ignored her and looked at the other people waiting at the entrance of the village.
"Dear guests, please come with me. The village knows that you are coming to visit and has already decorated the guest rooms."
The young man - Tan Yu Shi saw that the man in the suit did not do anything to Wang Qing, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He calmed down and whispered to Xie Xiaoyu and Zhang Wenxiu to follow them.
The Bohemian girl also followed and stopped when she passed by Wang Qing.
She put out the cigarette in her hand and stretched out her hand towards Wang Qing with a very friendly and cordial attitude.
"Hello, my name is Fang Yajing, do you know me?"
When Wang Qing heard this voice, he felt it was very familiar.
He looked down at the rabbit in his hand again and immediately remembered.
"Oh, it's you, sister."
Wang Qing looked at Fang Yajing's legs. Looking up and down, she didn't look like she was injured.
"Your legs are fine. I heard you calling for help in the woods before."
Fang Yajing was stunned for a moment, "Really?"
Wang Qing nodded affirmatively and added, "You walked quite fast. You disappeared just as I looked for you."
"But it's good to see you're okay. It's because I was looking for you that I picked up such a fat rabbit."
Fang Yajing smiled softly, it was just a smile with some indescribable reluctance.
She withdrew the hand she was preparing to shake hands with Wang Qing and smoothed her temples.
"Thank you very much for your concern."
He pondered again and said:
"Speaking of which, my boyfriend is still in the woods. He probably won't be able to come out... Have you seen him?"
Wang Qing shook his head and answered honestly: "The fog was so heavy that I didn't see anyone. I only heard your voice. When I walked over, you weren't there."
Fang Yajing reached out to hold Wang Qing's arm and smiled: "Then we are destined, let's go together."
The group of people followed the man in the suit and walked into the village.
The village is clearly called Dog Head Village, but there is not a single dog in sight.
When walking through the dirt road in the village, you can see the wide open gates of the houses on both sides.
Logically speaking, people in this kind of village would more or less keep a dog tied at the door to guard the door.
However, there was indeed an iron chain to tie the dog in front of the door. One end of the chain was empty, with nothing tied to it.
No dogs were seen or heard barking.
No, to be precise, except for the sound of a few of them walking on the road, there was no other sound in the village.
It seemed as if the entire village was dead.
This realization made Tan Yushi, who was good at observing, feel horrified.
But, before he could do anything.
Wang Qing, who was being held by Fang Yajing's arm, had already spoken nervously.
"Where are the people in this village? Why haven't you seen anyone after walking for so long?"
Wang Qing came here specifically to recruit people to work on the farm.
Not seeing anyone made her a little panicked.
Isn’t it true that all adults have gone out to work in other places?
Then I came here in vain.
The man in the suit glanced at Wang Qing and said nothing.
Tan Yushi always felt that the man in the suit didn't want to say anything to Wang Qing.
Wang Qing didn't hear the answer and became even more nervous.
"There's really no one, right?"
"Have all the young people in your village gone out to work? Where have they gone? Are the wages high?"
Listening to Wang Qing's questions one after another, the man in the suit took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and slowly exhaled.
"No. The God Sacrifice Day is coming these days, and everyone is preparing for the ceremony, so no one can be seen for the time being."
"Everyone will be back by the evening."
After hearing the man in suit's answer, Wang Qing nodded thoughtfully and temporarily shut up.
The man in the suit led everyone forward.
Just after taking two steps, Wang Qing suddenly remembered something and spoke again.
"Hey, by the way. Are there many young people in your village? Are there more young people or old people?"
Man in suit: "..."
The man in the suit took a deep breath.
The man in the suit almost squeezed out this sentence through his teeth: "About this, the guests will know when the villagers come back in the evening."
Wang Qing finally stopped asking.
I followed the man in the suit for a while.
The man in the suit brought them to a row of dilapidated brick houses and stopped.
Although this brand of brick and tile houses looks a bit old, it can be seen that some of them have been briefly renovated before, so that they are not completely uninhabitable.
