"I'll go back and recommend some foreign suspense writers to you." Tao You walked back slowly.
"I've read a little bit of Keigo Higashino before." Zhou Moyang said as he followed her.
Tao You's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "I also like his books very much! Which of his books do you like best?" She was particularly excited when she met a like-minded classmate, and she had endless things to say.
Zhou Moyang listened to Tao You's words quietly, answering a few words from time to time, his expression full of smiles.
Song Yimian, who was not far away, kept staring at the two of them and murmured to himself unhappily: "How can you be so happy? You don't even talk to me that much. How can you be so happy chatting with an unfamiliar person? Look, look. Look, this guy who’s smiling, tsk, has bad intentions.”
Tao You was busy chatting, not paying attention to her steps, and accidentally stepped on the air. Zhou Moyang reacted quickly and held her shoulders.
"Where are you putting your hands? Put them down!" Song Yimian threw the branch on the ground and stared at the hand on Tao You's arm without turning around. His eyes were fierce, but his voice was not. It was so loud that the protagonist didn't hear it, but the surrounding classmates heard it clearly. They were even frightened by his sudden voice. Seeing his expression, no one dared to joke with him, and no one stepped forward to ask questions or turn around. Keep doing your own thing.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Moyang supported Tao You and asked with concern.
Tao You moved his ankle, but it didn't hurt at all. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
The next second, Zhou Moyang let go of his hand, and Song Yimian, who was not far away, continued to break the branches, but his eyes were still staring at them without blinking.
Tao You and Zhou Moyang were chatting and laughing, and threw the newly picked branches to the ground, while Song Yimian was picking them up.
"Do you have a lighter? Do you want to pick up some leaves?" Tao You patted the dust on his hands and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"No." Song Yimian folded the branch and spoke lazily.
Tao You and Zhou Moyang were stunned, not knowing how to answer the question for a moment.
"Then, how do we bake? Is anyone else there?" Tao You felt that it was ridiculous. Without fire, there was no use picking up more branches. She looked around as she spoke. Some students squatted in a circle with their heads together. , I don’t know what I’m doing.
"I'll go to the store and ask if there are any lighters or alcohol." Zhou Moyang stood up and clapped his hands, "Tao You, do you want to come with us?"
Song Yimian dropped the branch in his hand, looked up at him, sneered, and said rudely: "You just graduated from kindergarten? You need someone to accompany you when you ask me anything."
Zhou Moyang stood there awkwardly, neither walking nor stopping. He said in a dry voice: "Then I'll go by myself. Tao You, please rest here for a while. It's quite tiring picking up branches."
Tao You kicked Song Yimian in the butt twice, "Can you please talk to me carefully? If I offend you, who will make you unhappy?"
Song Yimian felt something wrong from the moment he picked up the branches. It was as if the anger he had been holding was finally released. Tao You searched in his mind. He hadn't provoked him in the past few days. Could it be...
An immature thought came to Tao You's mind. Could it be that he was sleeping in the car just now and drooling on his clothes made him unhappy? But didn’t you just say that it was okay? You didn’t mean what you meant? Or the reflection arc length? Or is it that my uncle is here and is emotionally unstable?
After thinking again and again, Tao You confirmed that it was not him who made Song Yimian angry, and he had no time to coax him. "Ignore him, let him get used to it, and I will go with you." After Tao You finished speaking, he took Zhou Moyang. About to leave.
Song Yimian suddenly raised his hand, pressed it on the hand held by the two of them, and stood up slowly, "By the time you come back and ask the boss, everything will have been taken away by others." As he said, He took out a lighter and four small pieces of solid alcohol from the bag on one side.
"You didn't tell me earlier!" Tao You said angrily, "Childish!" She pressed down her clenched hands and turned to look for Hong Xiqi, fearing that she would be so angry that she would beat him up on the spot if she stayed any longer.
"How are you doing here?" Tao You stood by the lake and asked the two people who were still washing vegetables by the lake.
There are many small holes in the ice by the lake, which must have been used by others. Now only Hong Xiqi and Gu Yi are still washing vegetables here.
Hong Xiqi raised her wrinkled hands that were white and red from being soaked in ice water, and said with a sad face: "Xiao Youyou, my hands are so cold that I can't feel anything. Please come and help us."
Tao You walked closer and saw that Gu Yi next to him was not doing much better. One hand was shrunk in his pocket, and the other hand was trembling. He pinched the edge of the dish with his index finger and thumb and removed the ice from a small piece. After rinsing it casually in the water, he picked it up and put it aside. Hong Xiqi picked up the vegetables he had rinsed and rinsed them in the water again, as if this could wash away all the dirt.
"Can you clean it if it's so sloppy?" Tao You asked, but got a complicated look from the two of them saying, "You do it."
There were a lot of unwashed vegetables nearby. Tao You lifted up his trouser legs, squatted down next to Gu Yi, took a piece of corn, smashed the fragile ice surface, and boldly reached in to wash the corn. After a second, he quickly retracted his hand with a stern face. Gu Yi and Hong Xiqi on the side both laughed. Their expressions seemed to say, "As expected, this is the path we have traveled."
Tao You put the corn aside, covered his hands with his mouth and breathed out to melt the coolness. The water in Pinghu was much colder than Tao You imagined. It wasn't the cold on the surface, but the cold that penetrated into the bones from all directions. It was so cold that it hurt. After the first time, I didn't want to have a second time. This would have been great in the summer, but it's winter now.
Tao You decisively chose to imitate Gu Yi and Hong Xiqi's lazy method, holding the tail of the corn cob, spinning it in the water a few times, and then handed it to Gu Yi: "That's it, it's not dirty, you won't get sick after eating it. "
It was approaching noon, and the sun gradually rose above the head. Many people were sweating due to the heat, but the water in Pinghu Lake was still as cold as ever, which was refreshing, and the ice on the water showed no sign of melting.
"No," Tao You rummaged through the bag and said doubtfully, "Is there no meat? Why are they all vegetables? No wonder you wash so slowly."
"Yes, there is no meat, this bag is full of vegetables." Hong Xiqi pointed at Gu Yi and said, "He did a good job."
Gu Yi put down the vegetables in his hand and said innocently: "It's not my fault. I didn't know that this bag is full of vegetables. The bag is green. I looked big and quite heavy. I thought there would be more meat. Who knows?" You know it’s all vegetables, so don’t blame me.”
"What about the meat?" Tao You was more concerned about this, "Why don't you even give us meat to eat?"
Gu Yi rubbed his chin at the group of people gathered around the stone table and said, "The meat is all there. They have washed it and skewered it."
"We'll bake them together later and we'll be done."
Hong Xiqi threw down the eggplant and said angrily: "Yes, everyone is already making skewers, and we haven't finished washing them yet. If you want to bake them together, will they wait for us? You have already finished eating, who will wait?" You."
"Don't worry, I will definitely let you eat this meat today." Gu Yi put down his cruel words and said, "I will spend my own money to get it for you."
The three of them finally finished washing the dishes, moved them to the stone table, sat down on the side, and raised their heads and beat their waists. .
Tao You held her breath and waited for the sour feeling to pass. The cold wind blew, carrying the aroma of barbecued meat. Tao You took a deep breath. Her stomach growled. She clenched her cold hands and unclenched them. She saw that they were not far away. Chu Song Yimian had already lit the fire and urged: "Hurry up and make a meal. Song Yimian and the others have already lit the fire. I'm so hungry."
The three of them skewered skewers very quickly, and in a short while they had already skewered two large basins. Gu Yi took the basins to other groups to exchange food.
"Teacher Wen, didn't you say there is no coal?" The students followed the scent and looked over, surrounding several teachers. They had just started grilling, and they couldn't control the heat well, so they cooked several skewers. Several teachers here had already started eating. The head teacher stood in front of the grill, constantly flipping the skewers, and sprinkling some spices from time to time. His movements were very skillful, "Yes." Ah, this is the only surviving batch of coal, we bought it ourselves, what’s wrong?”
"Teacher, if you had told me earlier, we wouldn't have to work so hard to make a fire. We can also buy it."
"That's right, Teacher Wen, it's so late. Ours haven't been baked yet. The ones just now are all burnt. Can you help us bake them a little." A classmate stared straight at the grilled chicken wings in the hands of the class teacher and kept swallowing. Drooling.
"No." The head teacher cruelly refused without hesitation, and kept moving his hands, "You can grill whatever you want to eat, and you can do your own thing. The barbecue of your choice."
"Yes, but we don't know if we bake it ourselves or if it's this condition." A classmate's voice was low, but it was enough for people nearby to hear clearly.
The head teacher put the roasted chicken wings on the plate, walked around in front of everyone before putting them on the table, and ate them slowly.
Come.
The classmates stared so hard that their eyes almost popped out, and their stomachs rumbled one after another.
"Don't even look at it. If you know you're hungry, why don't you go bake it. Walk around, don't affect our eating." The head teacher drove everyone away.
Here, while they were all gathered in front of the class teacher, Gu Yi took a lot of meat skewers and put them on his plate, and then gave them to Song Yimian, who was in charge of the spoon.
"I can't tell that the head teacher has this skill." Hong Xiqi said enviously.
Gu Yi waved his hand, patted Song Yimian's shoulder, and said confidently, "Hey, brother Mian is here, you don't need to envy others, his barbecue skills are definitely like this." As he said that, he stood in front of the three people. thumbs up.
Song Yimian lowered his head and flipped the skewers, his movements as skillful as the head teacher's. His slightly long bangs were in front of his eyes, and only the straight corners of his mouth could be seen clearly.
Tao You stood to the side with his chest wrapped around his chest, concentrating on admiring the beautiful hands flipping the skewers. Song Yimian could surprise them every time. It seemed that there was really nothing he couldn't do, even barbecue, such a life thing. He can do it so skillfully. The key is that the movements are graceful and pleasing to the eye. A food stall-level barbecue in his hands can give people the feeling of being in a Michelin restaurant.
Song Yimian sprinkled the last barbecue ingredients, put the skewers on the plate, and handed them to Gu Yi.
"Wait a minute, I'll take a photo." Hong Xiqi stopped Gu Yi who wanted to get the skewers, took out his mobile phone, and started operating on the skewers.
"Are you ready?" Gu Yi couldn't wait.
Hong Xiqi finally took the last photo and said, "Okay, let's eat."
"Wow, Song Yimian, your roast is delicious!"
"You are still here, Song Yimian and the others have started eating." The head teacher said to the people still surrounding him, changing the target.
Sure enough, the students all turned around and walked towards Tao You and the others, praising: "Song Yimian, you are so awesome, you can also barbecue."
Many girls had stars in their eyes.
"Let's grill them together," a girl raised her hand and said, "I probably know the heat of the vegetables. I'll grill the vegetables. Song Yimian, can you grill the vegetables?"
After a few seconds, when Song Yimian still didn't respond, everyone thought there was no chance. They were about to leave, thinking that the barbecue was not good enough today, but they saw him nodding. At this time, everyone's enthusiasm increased again.
"Then I'll come to barbecue too." He thought the boy volunteered and walked towards the barbecue grill on the side.
"Then I'll come too. I've baked it several times before, but the taste may not be that good."
...
There were too many people, and the baking speed was too slow, not enough for them to eat. Song Yimian almost never stopped, baking one plate after another. Tao You finally grabbed two skewers of roast beef and handed them to Song Yimian.
"I don't have free hands. If I don't want to eat, you can eat." Song Yimian tilted his head to avoid it.
Tao You continued to follow him and said, "I'll feed you. If you don't eat, you won't have the energy to bake."
Song Yimian looked at the meat skewers in front of him, then looked at Tao You whose mouth was full and opened his mouth to take a bite.
"What else do you want to eat? Tell me and I'll grab it for you." Tao You said after swallowing the last bite.
"Xiao Youyou, is Song Yimian in a bad mood?" After eating and drinking, Hong Xiqi wiped her mouth and whispered into Tao You's ear.
Tao You glanced at Song Yimian, who was sitting opposite and playing with his mobile phone, and said, "Did you see it too?"
Hong Xiqi gave Tao You a "nonsense" look: "He has a sulky face all the time, anyone who is not blind can see that, okay. Did you mess with him? "
Tao You was really innocent: "I swear, it really didn't happen, it wasn't me! He was fine when he came here. I also want to know why this old man's mood suddenly turned gloomy. I even doubt whether he came to the university." Uncle."
Hong Xiqi glanced at Zhou Moyang who was also looking at his phone across the corner. He looked back and forth between Song Yimian and Zhou Moyang several times. He touched his chin, squinted his eyes, and said leisurely: "Just now, you three went to pick up tree branches. , what happened? Tell me, I will help you analyze it. "
