The physiological functions of the human body cannot be suppressed. Sleeping, eating and going to the toilet are natural. At the same time, this is what people do every day. It is not a big deal. So it is natural that when Zhang Zhiyong returned to the living room and saw that they were fine, everyone only looked at them briefly. They glanced at each other, and then continued to talk about food. However, during the conversation, as time passed, their eyes gradually shifted. A few eyes glanced at the opposite side from time to time, secretly looking at Zhang Qifeng, who had been silent since he returned to the sofa to meditate.
Time passed quickly. After lunch, the potatoes in the house were almost eaten. In addition, there were more conversations in the morning. In the afternoon, everyone lost interest in chatting and started to move around freely. Some people returned to the bedroom to take a nap, while others Twos and threes gather together to talk to each other, and it is worth mentioning that no one dares to be alone, whether it is taking a nap or free activities, and they try to ensure that there are companions around them. Of course, the above is only for most people. In terms of.
………
squeak.
In the bedroom, Yao Fujiang, who was guarding in front of the bed, was attracted by the sound of a door opening behind him. When he looked back, he saw that the person who came was not a senior person, but a fat man with small eyes.
Gao Jikun pushed the door in with a smile on his face.
At first, the flat-headed young man thought that the other party was here to take a nap. He glanced at the fat man and turned his head away. Unexpectedly, what happened was contrary to expectations. After entering the bedroom, Gao Jikun did not make the floor as expected, but walked straight to the bed and first used He looked at He Fei for a few times with worried eyes, and finally showed a kind smile to Yao Fujiang, and took the initiative to chat: "Although I am a newcomer, I am older than you. Is it okay to call you Brother Yao?"
Seeing that Gao Jikun seemed to want to say something to him, Yao Fujiang did not reply immediately. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the other person. He was silent for a moment and then nodded: "It doesn't matter, the name is just a title. By the way, what can I do for you?"
Because his initial impression of the fat man was very general, Yao Fujiang's words were relatively cold during his reply. If it were other people's atmosphere, it would be very likely that he would be silent. Unexpectedly, Gao Jikun didn't care. Instead, he smiled even more when he saw the other party answering. He glanced around the room. Glancing at the door behind him, Gao Jikun waited until he confirmed that no one else would disturb him before he officially entered the topic and started talking. He rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Yao, I want to ask you something."
After hearing this, Yao Fujiang was startled, and then subconsciously replied: "Yes, as long as it is not a secret, I will naturally tell you everything."
"Well, thank you in advance."
"You're welcome. He Fei once said that senior people have the obligation to help newcomers understand the cursed space. If you have any questions, please ask."
After the polite greetings, I felt that the heat was almost over, and the other party had expressed his attitude early. Sure enough, Gao Jikun stopped writing and asked a question directly: "Well, brother Yao, my question is actually very simple. I just want to ask about the senior members of the team. some things."
The fat man thought that the preparation was in place and there would be no surprise. However, what was unexpected was that as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yao Fujiang's expression suddenly changed and he looked wary. At the same time, he stared at the fat man with vigilant eyes and asked, "Why are you asking about this?"
Gao Jikun hesitated for a moment, then looked embarrassed and waved his hands as he explained: "Ah, brother Yao, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm just asking, because I'm not very good at dealing with people and sometimes act recklessly, I'm afraid In the future, accidentally offending a senior person is one thing, and as teammates, I want to get to know each other, but I don’t dare to ask other people, so in the end I specifically asked Brother Yao, a senior person who seems to be a good person at first glance, to inquire."
"What's more, you just said that as long as it's not a secret, you'll tell me everything. And I just want to know more about you, so this shouldn't be a secret, right?"
Language is an art. Faced with the youth's vigilance, Gao Jikun calmly explained and quickly solved the problem. First, he complimented the other party with a implicit compliment, and finally asked the other party with the help of what the other party said. Not to mention, this trick was indeed effective, although He didn't necessarily believe the other party's explanation, but after thinking about it for a while, Yao Fujiang didn't doubt him. He raised his head and shrugged at Gao Jikun and replied: "So you are worried about this, so you don't need to be so careful, and we seniors have nothing to do." What scares you is that as long as you obey the team's command, there is no need to ask about everyone's personality or way of doing things. Well, since you want to hear it, let me tell you in general. Anyway, these are not secrets. , even if I don’t say it, you will gradually understand it in the future as the contact gets longer, of course, the premise is that you live long enough.”
"By the way, who do you want to learn about first?"
"Um, well..."
"How about we start with Mr. Zhao?"
………
Let’s not talk about how Gao Jikun listened in the bedroom, and let’s not talk about how Liu Dong and others went back to the room to rest. Unlike most of the others who gathered together, after lunch, Chen Xiaoyao disappeared, while Zhao Ping walked out of the house alone, and then stood there like this. The people on the street watched and said nothing.
In the living room, she glanced at the man with glasses standing motionless outside the door. Cheng Ying turned her eyes and stared at the bedroom on the left, frowning slightly, and finally whispered a few words to Peng Hu sitting opposite: "Zhang Qifeng has a problem. "
"What? There's a problem? What do you mean?"
Hearing this sentence, Peng Hu, who was about to take out a cigarette and light it up, was stunned for a moment. The lighter stayed in the air, his suspicion was palpable.
Faced with the inquiry, Cheng Ying still gave a short answer: "Have you noticed that the other party has been acting strange since he came back from the toilet, his face is pale and his expression is in a trance."
"Eh? From what you said, it seems like this is true. By the way, what happened to Zhang Qifeng?
"Not sure yet."
"Are you the only one who knows about this?"
"No, I think besides me, Zhao Ping is also aware of it."
"Does Zhao Jingyan know about it too? Since he knows, why would he go out to the door to hang out if he doesn't discuss it with someone in the living room?"
"Maybe he wants to find a quiet place to think about Zhang Qifeng."
………
In the kitchen, the sound of cutting vegetables can be heard frequently, and the sound of work is endless. Qian Xueling, Meng Fei and Yue Xiao are currently processing the remaining potatoes. It is obvious that in order to improve the food, the three women are busy in their spare time, cleaning up. After all, they cooked potatoes in the morning and noon. Although they could fill their stomachs, they had no taste. Finally, Meng Fei suggested that a few people come to the kitchen and start taking action. They planned to use kitchen seasonings to stir-fry shredded potatoes before dark. Serving dinner for everyone, of course, Fang Min, who is delicate and cannot cook, naturally did not participate.
The technique is skillful and the processing is careful. Looking at the chopping board, Meng Fei is holding a kitchen knife and shredding carefully. She glances at Yue Xiao opposite, who is washing the tableware and peeling the skin of potatoes. Qian Xueling's expression is slightly complicated, because there are plot characters present. , causing her to be unable to say a lot of words, but this didn't matter to Qian Xueling. After all, Yue Xiao was just a newcomer, and she had nothing to talk about with this woman with a scar on her face. The reason for her expression Complex, it just comes from fear, or she is very scared now. Yes, as a veteran, compared to a newcomer, she can really understand how terrifying the supernatural mission is. If possible, what she wants to do most at the moment Just go and stay with Zhao Ping immediately. Only in this way will the fear be reduced.
Seeing this, some people may ask, if you are so scared and uneasy, why don't you just leave the kitchen to find Zhao Ping?
Only Qian Xueling knows the answer, because she doesn’t want to continue like this, and she doesn’t want other senior people to look down on her and think that she is a timid woman who only relies on others. Moreover, now she also wants to do as much as possible for the team. Of course, the above is only one aspect. The main reason why she didn't dare to follow him was the warning from the other party.
Half an hour ago, when the man left the house, he warned her not to follow her, not to disturb her, and that she needed to find a quiet place to think about something.
Qian Xueling thought so, but in fact, her series of expressions during this period were all seen by others, including Yue Xiao.
After washing the tableware in the basin, Yue Xiao kept moving and put the clean tableware in the cupboard, then picked up the basin and walked outside.
"I went to the door and poured the water."
After informing each other, Yue Xiao turned around and left. She walked out of the kitchen, passed through the living room, and finally rushed to the door. Sure enough, she saw someone coming out of the kitchen. In the living room, Peng Hu and Cheng Ying, who were whispering to each other, immediately silenced themselves. The bald man didn't pay much attention, but Cheng Ying endured it. He couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the woman's back.
………
Hooray, hooray.
The breeze was undulating and blowing endlessly. As she walked out of the room and walked into the street, Yue Xiao noticed something first. She saw a person standing under a tree a few meters away. It was none other than the taciturn Zhao Zhao in his impression. flat.
As described earlier, after lunch, the bespectacled man left the house and went to the street. Even though half an hour had passed, the man still stood under the tree without responding for a long time, just thinking alone and silent.
This scene was seen by Yue Xiao.
but……
For some reason, after seeing the senior person named Zhao Ping, her eyes narrowed slightly. Yue Xiao did not pour the water immediately as expected. Instead, she turned around and looked at her with vigilant eyes. After standing up, she confirmed that there was no one around and checked the door. After no one showed any signs, the woman moved, silently placed the basin on the ground, and finally walked slowly towards the man.
Under the tree, Zhao Ping was contemplating with his eyes closed, silent for a long time. When he heard footsteps coming from behind, the man still didn't look back. He just frowned when the footsteps reached behind him, and then asked without looking back: "Didn't I tell you? Don't you bother me when I'm thinking about something?"
"Senior Zhao, are you talking about Sister Xueling?"
There is no doubt that the person behind the bespectacled man's talk was Qian Xueling, but the voice coming from behind him was a bit unexpected. Although it was still a woman's voice, it was obviously different from Qian Xueling. It sounded like the person named Yue. Akatsuki's female newcomer.
Um?
As the sound came out and his thoughts shifted, Zhao Ping turned around instinctively.
Taking a closer look, he saw that it was Yue Xiao in front of him, but...
The woman was currently trembling while staring pitifully at herself.
Seeing this, Zhao Ping showed suspicion and asked in a calm tone: "Excuse me, what can I do?"
The man with glasses asked indifferently, but unexpectedly, Yue Xiao further showed fear, and began to plead with a pitiful expression: "Zhao, Senior Zhao, I am so scared, I am really scared, in fact, I have been since last night I am very scared after listening to the analysis of the female locusts by you seniors! The female locusts are still scary, will they kill me? I really don’t want to die, Senior Zhao, you..."
"Can you protect me?"
Yue Xiao told her reasons and described her fear, and her appearance was pitiful and pitiful. Not to mention anything else, this appearance alone is enough to arouse the desire for protection in any man. As for Zhao Ping...
After listening, the man with glasses didn't say anything this time. He didn't answer or react. From the beginning to the end, he never showed the slightest pity or protective intention that a man should have. Instead, he was just indifferent, just calm, and just narrowed his eyes to look. He looked at the woman in front of him for a moment, adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and finally replied in a pointed tone: "I can understand your fear and feel your fear. As for your intention to seek protection from senior people, I also agree. I understand, but why do you have to find me? After all, I’m not the only one who’s experienced, right?”
Yue Xiao shook her head and explained: "No, in my opinion, only Senior Zhao will protect me, I can't trust anyone else."
Seeing the other party's answer, Zhao Ping gradually frowned. The reason was not for any other reason, but because he was thinking about a very important matter at the moment, but he didn't expect that this woman named Yue Xiao would come to disturb him at the wrong time and interfere with his thoughts. It is said that one cannot multitask. Others are like this, so why not Zhao Ping? As expected, seeing that the woman was just pretending to be pitiful and seeking protection, Zhao Ping waved his hand without waiting for the other party to continue speaking. Zhao Ping suppressed his annoyance and frowned and said perfunctorily: "Okay, I promise you, if you encounter danger in the future, I will try my best to protect you. help."
After receiving the man's affirmative answer, Yue Xiao was overjoyed for a moment, and then she opened her mouth to thank with joy on her face: "Really? That's great! Thank you, Senior Zhao!"
"Then can you go back now?"
"Okay, don't disturb Senior Zhao. I'll go back right away."
………
Wow.
After more than ten seconds, Yue Xiao poured out the water silently, then turned around and walked towards the house with the empty basin in hand. The whole process was unremarkable, but if you look closely, you will see that the woman was in Zhao Pingping's house earlier during the return process. The fear he showed before was long gone, all gone, replaced by calmness, silence and the subtle coldness between his brows.
The eyes look straight ahead, through the door and finally into the kitchen.
