Yan Shuo was amused by the sound of "suck".
He picked up a piece of steaming snake meat, blew it a few times and put it to Wen Yaxian's mouth: "Try it, do you want to add salt?"
She said vaguely: "Add half a spoonful more."
"Brother Shuo, Xun Song also wants to try it." Xun Song followed his master and loved spicy food. He couldn't wait to taste it when he smelled the spicy aroma.
"Okay." He added half a spoonful of salt and stir-fried until it was fragrant. Then he gave Xun Song a piece and asked them to sit down with their bowls.
Each of them holds a bowl of cooked noodles, sits around the fire with chopsticks, and eats a piece of snake meat from time to time.
Chi Yue doesn't like to eat snake meat.
No matter whether they were stir-fried or stewed, she could never get used to the taste of snake meat. She only tasted two pieces and then never touched them again.
However, the noodles cooked by Xie Changxiao won her heart. She added a second bowl and ate it slowly. She leaned on the boulder behind her with contentment and stroked her filled stomach with her palms.
After sitting for a while, Wen Qizhou, who had put away the dishes and chopsticks, pulled him up and walked around the area with Xu Yang in his arms to eat.
"Yueyue." When Wen Qizhou thought that they were about to go to Heshi, he couldn't help but recall the time when Chi Hongmin and his wife drugged her: "Have you seen the person Chi Hongmin introduced?"
"I met you once."
"Has he ever bullied you?"
"No." She held Wen Qizhou's arm and recalled carefully: "But I think that was his handiwork."
"How to say?"
"When I first met Chi Hongmin, their life was very tight, but before he proposed to introduce me to that person, they moved from the dormitory to a three-bedroom apartment. And the medicine in his hand was not easy to buy, Even if he had a way, he wouldn’t be able to afford it given his current conditions.”
Wen Qizhou understood.
He suppressed the thick darkness in his eyes and stared at Chi Yue's side face: "Did he look for you after Chi Hongmin's death?"
"The night I dealt with them, I left Heshi with Sister Yaxian. I don't know if he sent anyone to look for me."
"Well, I'll meet him then."
Chi Yue knew that he wanted to vent his anger for her, and had no intention of stopping him. He only said: "The bodyguards around him are very powerful. They look like they are from the same group as Fu Wei, so they are not easy to deal with."
Fu Wei is a mercenary who makes homemade explosives.
When she was kidnapped in Heyuan, Fu Wei worked with them briefly to find a girlfriend.
People like them who rush through the hail of bullets are more difficult to deal with than people who have a certain amount of force and worth.
"It's okay, leave it to me." Wen Qizhou rubbed the top of Chi Yue's hair, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "I'll find a way."
"All right."
Chi Yue didn't ask much.
We have to meet the person anyway.
After their walk, they walked back to the stream. When He Chengfeng came in the afternoon to inform them to leave, they packed their luggage together.
The residents who had taken the detour last night did not come up. There were only about 20 people left on both sides, carrying their bags and following Mingzhang across the mountains.
They walked until nightfall and found a place to pitch a tent to rest for the night. They climbed a mountain in the early morning to completely stay away from the tsunami-affected area and set foot on the road to Heshi.
"Ouch──"
A howl of wolves echoed through the mountains in the middle of the night.
Everyone suddenly woke up.
Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou put on their clothes as quickly as possible, walked outside the tent, and lit the fire they had extinguished before falling asleep.
Wolves are afraid of fire. When it is difficult for them to distinguish the direction of the wolves and find no suitable cover, they can only stand in front of the fire, each holding a torch and observing the surroundings.
"They're coming." Wen Qizhou heard the howling of wolves approaching them. Following the sound, he saw seven figures suddenly jumping out of the grass and stopping diagonally in front of them.
Seven pairs of wolf eyes glowing green stared at them.
Mingzhang picked up Xunsong, held Yunqi's hand tightly to protect him, and reminded him in a low voice: "Don't look at the wolves."
Staring can easily be interpreted as provocation.
They lowered their eyes and focused on the front feet and limbs of the alpha wolf, keeping their distance from them and motionless.
"ah!!"
A sudden scream came from the right side.
The two residents who were woken up saw the wolves as soon as they came out of the tent. Their faces turned pale with fright and they ran back in panic.
Zhuo An and He Chengfeng, who were standing in front of the tent, saw their stupid behavior, which could be called death, and their minds were pounding.
Just when Zhuo An was about to call them to stop, the wolves with hunting instincts immediately chased after them as soon as they saw the escaping prey.
"Hurry up the tree!" He reminded loudly, and at the same time, he did not forget to tap the trigger and fire a shot in the direction of the wolves.
To avoid irritating them, he did not target any of the wolves, but only hit the tree next to them to intimidate them.
The alpha wolf looked back at him.
It led the wolves to stop the chase, and the two men could take this opportunity to climb any tree, or circle around the forest and return to the place where they pitched their tent.
But they didn't.
They didn't seem to hear the warning and ran deeper into the forest at once, their footsteps so heavy that it was difficult not to attract the wolf's attention.
The alpha wolf raised his head and howled, leading the six wolves in the direction of their escape, disappearing in the blink of an eye like a roaring wind.
"I'm really convinced!" He Chengfeng has never seen such a stupid person: "It's not like they didn't see me. Even if they were frightened, they could still hide behind me! I don't know why they were running around. Now I'm fine I'm going to lose my life!"
Zhuo An was also helpless to the extreme.
He frowned and looked in the direction where the wolves were leaving. In less than a minute, a scream that was so shrill that it could pierce the sky, a short and rapid howl of wolves brushed through everyone's ears.
"Alas." They sighed at the same time.
He lowered the hand holding the gun and turned to glance at the three tents set up behind him: "Tell them again."
The wolves may come back.
He and He Chengfeng went into the tent to remind them, and then went to pick up branches nearby and put them aside to keep the fire burning longer.
Chi Yue and the others are the same.
They sat on the picnic mat, always vigilant, paying attention to the movements around them to avoid being attacked by the wolves.
After a long time of waiting for the wolves, Wen Qizhou put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms: "Yueyue, sleep against me for a while."
"Yes." She adjusted her position and leaned in his arms, nuzzled the crook of his neck, and fell asleep with the faint scent of cypress.
Wen Yaxian and Ge Qinyao also leaned on the shoulders of their husbands and brothers, listening to the sound of the fire burning, and closed their eyes.
Because the wolves were still on the mountain, they didn't dare to sleep too much. They waited for the sky to get slightly brighter, had a quick bite to eat, then put their bags on their backs and continued walking, in order to avoid staying too long and causing trouble.
"Master Ming, how long does it take to arrive?" Without stopping until noon, Chi Yunyan opened his eyelids and yawned twice.
The sun is so strong at noon that people will inevitably feel sleepy.
Xie Changxiao, Yan Shuo and Ge Huai, who had not slept a wink for the rest of the night, opened their mouths and yawned as if infected by him.
Mingzhang: "One and a half hours at the fastest."
"Okay." They followed Mingming over the mountain, and then walked along the winding mountain road to the road below.
