When they arrived at the foot of the mountain in the Falling Star Valley, the white horse and the black-maned red horse that had been summoned by Ling Zikai with his consciousness were already waiting there.

Seeing that it was not early, Ling Zikai and the others did not delay any longer, turned over and jumped on horseback, and galloped straight in the direction of the wooden house.

By the time we arrived at the hut, it was already dark.

After leading the horse into the stable, the cuckoo hurried to the hut to make dinner.

When I arrived at the wooden house where the rice was cooking, I saw a large table in the open space outside the house, on which several plates of cooked dishes were already placed, and before I could get to the front, there was already a burst of fragrance.

Ling Zikai and Du Juan looked at each other for a while, their faces were a little curious, they didn't know who was so diligent and had already started cooking dinner inside.

At this moment, Zhang Nan and He Ling came out of it, each holding a large bowl of fragrant dishes in their hands.

When Zhang Nan saw Du Juan and them, he immediately said hello: "Sister Du Juan, are you back?" It just so happens that dinner has been prepared, and you can start eating immediately!"

Du Juan said a little apologetically: "Nan Nan, we went out for something, and we came back a little late. I'm sorry to let you make dinner!"

Zhang Nan said with a smile: "Sister Du Juan, what you said is a bit out of the ordinary! After coming here, you are ready to entertain us, let us make a dinner, what's so embarrassing." Try our craft today!"

Ling Zikai said on the side: "Nan Nan is right, the days of staying in the forest farm will be long in the future." Everyone is the owner of this forest farm, so there is no need to be so angry, I think that as long as you have time in the future, you can start cooking first. ”

"Oh, I haven't officially passed the door yet, and I feel sorry for my little daughter-in-law! I can state in advance that I have been a person who has been wearing clothes to reach out for food since I was a child, and I can't do this thing of burning a fire girl. If you go into the woods to fall in love in the future, you must remember to bring an alarm clock, so as not to forget the time and cause everyone to go hungry together!"

Hearing He Ling's yin and yang strange words, Du Juan's face turned red, and he tilted his head to the side with a little weakness.

Ling Zikai frowned, as if he hadn't heard He Ling's words, walked up to Zhang Nan, picked up a piece of braised elbow on the plate she was holding with his fingers, put it in his mouth, and praised while chewing: "Well, it tastes very good, Nan Nan, is this what you fry, the craftsmanship is quite good!"

Zhang Nan said with a smile: "How can I have such a good craft, this braised elbow is made by Ah Ling, and she also asked me to learn something." Say that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach!"

Zhang Nan said this, and He Ling, who was on the side, suddenly became embarrassed, and glared at Zhang Nan fiercely, blaming her for not talking too much.

Ling Zikai deliberately pretended to be surprised, and said, "Oh, then I don't dare to touch the braised elbow tonight, if someone accidentally grabs his stomach, it will be miserable!"

"You ——!"

He Ling was so angry that she bit her lip with her teeth, and was about to have a seizure. saw that his parents and Lin Xing'an just walked out of the wooden house at this time, so he had to endure it, put the plate in his hand on the table, and turned around and walked into the kitchen angrily.

Seeing her daughter's angry appearance, Zhang Fang asked puzzledly: "This girl, she was fine just now, she volunteered to cook a hearty dinner for everyone, why did she suddenly get sick again!"

Ling Zikai smiled: "It's okay! It's okay! I was boasting about the deliciousness of her cooking!"

He Wandong said: "This girl is similar to the sky in June, she will change when she says it, it will be sunny and rainy for a while, don't care about her." It's almost dinner, so let's start eating!"

Zhang Nan said: "The dishes are all cooked, I'll go get the dishes and chopsticks!"

Hearing this, Du Juan hurriedly followed Zhang Nan in to prepare the tableware.

During the meal, He Ling unexpectedly sat down next to Ling Zikai first, and said to Du Juan: "Sister Du Juan, I am so close to Zikai, you won't mind!"

Du Juan smiled, didn't say anything, and sat quietly on the other side of Ling Zikai.

The others didn't feel anything, but Ling Zikai, who was sandwiched between the two beauties, seemed a little uncomfortable, so he had to eat with his head down and in a muffled voice.

But He Ling didn't want to let him go so easily, so she kept picking up the dishes on the table with chopsticks and putting them in his bowl, and said from time to time: "Zikai, come and try the sauerkraut fried noodles I made, is it delicious?"

"Didn't you say that this braised elbow tastes good, then eat more!"

"Is this sweet and sour bitter gourd a little too much vinegar?

“------”

Ling Zikai looked at the dishes piled up in the bowl, a little crying and laughing, and slandered in his heart: "Even if you catch my stomach, you can't catch my heart!"

The people around the table all looked at the attentive He Ling with curious eyes, thinking that this Nizi's behavior today was too abnormal, could it be that there was an unknown story between her and Ling Zikai?

He Ling glanced at the cuckoo sitting on the other side of Ling Zikai with some smugness.

Seeing He Ling's gaze with a hint of provocation, Du Juan secretly felt funny in his heart, knowing that this girl's appearance was deliberately made for herself.

If before this afternoon, seeing He Ling's affection for Ling Zikai, he might have some other thoughts in his heart, but now he won't take it as a thing at all.

Seeing the cuckoo's indifferent appearance, He Ling felt a little bored, pulled a few mouthfuls of rice indiscriminately, put the chopsticks on the table, stood up and said, "I'm full!"

Then he turned and walked into his cabin.

Seeing He Ling leave, Ling Zikai let out a long breath, and finally got rid of this girl's toss. While eating, he asked Lin Xing'an, "Uncle Lin, what plants do you plan to plant on the base!"

Lin Xingan asked a little puzzled, "Why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Ling Zikai said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, you see that it is autumn now, and some plant seeds are beginning to mature, we can go into the mountains to collect some and come back!"

Lin Xing'an nodded and said, "I had this plan a long time ago, but I heard that the contracting rights of your forest farm were going to be taken back by the town, and I was not sure whether my base could continue to be carried out, so I delayed it." ”

"Uncle Lin, you're a bit worried. No one can take this Yunhai Forest Farm away from me. I think so, there are still six days before the bidding meeting in the town, so it is better to take advantage of these few days to go into the mountains!"

Lin Xing'an suddenly became excited when he heard this, and said, "Okay, let's go into the mountains tomorrow." ”

Zhang Nan immediately said: "I'm going too!"

Ling Zikai hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't go as a girl!"

"Brother Kai, I've never been into the old forest, so let me go once. Besides, aren't you going to collect plant seeds, this is my specialty, I must know more plant species than you, where do you go to find a technician like me!"

When Ling Zikai heard this, he felt that this was really the case, so he nodded and said, "Okay, even if you are one, but after entering the mountain, you are not allowed to run around!"

He Wandong on the side asked curiously: "Where are you going?" Anyway, there is nothing to do in the forest farm these days, or I will go with you!"

Ling Zikai hurriedly shook his head and said, "Uncle He, we are going to the primeval forest this time, it is two or three hundred miles away from here, and it will take four or five days to go back and forth, so don't join in this fun!"

Although He Wandong was also very interested in the primeval forest, he dispelled the idea when he heard that he would go for such a long time. After all, as the president of Tianlong Group, if there is something in the group and he can't contact him, he will be in trouble.

The cuckoo asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"

Ling Zikai shook his head and said, "Don't go this time! Go to the town and find some people to build the house on the other side of Weiyang Lake." This matter must also be hurried, the old man said that he will come over in a few days, and he can't even have a place to sleep by then!"

The cuckoo said with some trepidation: "Otherwise, you can bring Su Guoer with you!" He has been to the old forest a few times, and he knows the situation in the forest well, so if something happens, he will have a helper!"

Ling Zikai also knew that he was actually a layman with a complete understanding of the Great Forest, and having Su Guoer's company could make him much easier. Although the kid was stunned, he was quite obedient to his words, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let him go with him." ”

"I'll go to town later, prepare some things for you to enter the mountains, and inform him by the way!"

"It's getting dark, I'll go with you!"

"No need, I've grown up on this mountain road since I was a child, and I can walk even with my eyes closed, and nothing will happen. You're going into the mountains tomorrow, so rest early!"

The next day, before dawn, Ling Zikai got up.

As soon as he walked out of the wooden house, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming down the mountain, and saw Sugol riding a red date horse coming uphill.

This kid is still dressed in the same way as when he entered the mountain last time, wearing a leather jacket and leather pants, carrying a brand-new standard shotgun on his shoulder, looking energetic and a little excited.

Seeing Ling Zikai standing outside the wooden house, he shouted in a loud voice from afar: "Brother Ling, are you ready, it's time to go!"

Ling Zikai scolded with a smile: "Did you kid hear that he was going into the mountain, and he didn't sleep all night excitedly, and ran up the mountain so early!"

Su Guoer touched his head a little embarrassed, then took the shotgun from his shoulder, held it in his hand, and said with some pride: "Brother Ling, look, this is the Sand Eagle-S I just bought by someone, this is the strongest and improved version of the Sand Eagle, the power is the largest among the Sand Eagles, and it is very useful in the medium and long distances." Even if you meet a blind bear, you can be killed with one shot from afar. ”

Ling Zikai didn't know anything about shotguns, and he didn't know what a sand eagle was, but seeing Su Guoer's expression, it must have been his beloved thing for a long time, and now that he has a robbery certificate, he will show it openly.

"I can warn you in advance, you are not allowed to shoot and hunt after entering the mountains!"

"Brother Ling, you still need to say this, anyway, I am still a reserve soldier hired by the Special Service Brigade of the Northern Provincial Armed Police Corps, how can I know the law and break the law!"

Ling Zikai said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that kid Zhang Jun also arranged such a military identity for you!"

Su Guoer said with some regret: "Brother Jun didn't say anything to me, originally he also said that he would recruit me to the Armed Police Special Service Brigade, but unfortunately before things were done, he went to the border post!"

Maybe it was because the two of them were talking a little loudly, which woke He Ling up, opened the door in a daze, and said unhappily: "It's early in the morning, you still don't let people sleep!"

Su Guoer said: "Sister He Ling, we are about to leave, why are you still sleeping!"

He Ling asked puzzledly: "Let's go, what kind of departure!"

Ling Zikai secretly shouted in his heart: "Oh, it's not good, trouble is coming!"
