As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet for a few seconds.

Everyone knows that Qiao Xihe and Eric explained on the first day they entered the village that they were not lovers, but ordinary friends.

"Do we resemble a couple?" Erik was the first to react.

This sentence made Qiao Xihe also come back to his senses, and denied: "Where is there a couple like us? No, no, we are not lovers at all, we are just friends, in fact, we know each other...... Ten days. ”

Hong Ying looked at Qiao Xihe and said meaningfully: "That's ......"

Her expression and tone were clearly indicative of disbelief.

After all, in front of the words "love at first sight", the number of days of knowing each other does not mean anything.

Qiao Xihe nodded in a very affirmative tone and said, "That's it." ”

Hong Ying smiled, and with the help of a dish that had just been served, she pushed it in front of Qiao Xihe and Eric, "Let's try the local characteristics." ”

Everyone's attention "returned" to eating, and the sound of talking and laughter sounded again, for Qiao Xihe, who could not understand the local dialect, he just had to bury his head in eating.

After a meal, everyone could finish it with their hearts, Lao Yan and his family planned to stay at the village chief's house to play mahjong, and Eric yawned twice, saying that he was too sleepy and wanted to go home for a nap.

Just right, I left with Qiao Xihe.

After the relatives of the village chief's family interrogated Hong Ying, they extended their "claws" to Qiao Xihe and Eric, asking about their work, family background, etc.

Qiao Xihe didn't want to talk to anyone about the relationship at all, so he couldn't wait to leave with Eric quickly.

Out of the door of the village chief's house, she patted her stomach and said with a smile: "I don't feel like I need to eat at night." ”

"You have to eat some, otherwise it's not good for your stomach. Eric said earnestly.

Qiao Xihe nodded, "That's what you said." ”

While the two were talking, they were about to go to Lao Yan's house, and as soon as they took two steps, they heard a series of footsteps behind them from far and near, and then Hong Ying caught up with them and said, "I'll send you back, right? You are guests of our village, and we should do our best to be the landlord." ”

Qiao Xihe said politely: "Don't bother you, thank you." Grandpa Yan's granddaughter and I were classmates and had been to the village before, so we were very familiar with the way back. You've just come back, you must be very tired, right?"

Hong Ying said: "I'm not tired, I'm used to the 9-to-9 rotation in the company, and I like to work up and down." Let's go, it just so happens that I also take a good look at my hometown that I haven't seen in many years. With that, she took the lead in moving forward.

Qiao Xihe and Eric glanced at each other, walked about four or five steps away from her, and walked behind.

Hong Ying glanced back slightly, gradually slowed down, and before long, she walked side by side with them.

She pointed to a small river on the side of the road and said: "Once upon a time, during the holidays, I liked to fish for lobsters in the river with my friends the most...... I'm drooling when I say it. Tomorrow, let's catch lobsters, shall we?"

When it comes to delicious crayfish, Qiao Xihe's pen tip seems to be haunted by the spicy and fragrant smell of wine, which causes the gluttonous insects in people's stomachs to protest repeatedly.

She struggled for a moment and agreed, "Okay." ”

These two words seemed to have brought the relationship between the two girls closer at once, Hong Ying stepped forward, grabbed Qiao Xihe's arm, and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about it? Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I will go to Grandpa Yan's house to find you." ”

"Good. Qiao Xihe felt a little uncomfortable with her enthusiasm, but there was only Eric next to her, and there was no one to ask for help, which made her cry and laugh, so she moved her body to the side slightly, and said as if unintentionally: "I want to be a little hot today, let's go back quickly." ”

Hong Ying let go of her hand a little and said, "If it's too hot, why don't we go down to the river to play for a while?" This is in the mountains, the river water is not polluted, even if you go down to soak your feet, you will feel comfortable." ”

While speaking, she didn't wait for Qiao Xihe to agree, so she directly pulled the person to the small river below the slope.

Eric hurriedly followed, and said, "Let's come back tomorrow, I see that you will take it with you under the sun again, and you will have to tan as Africans." ”

Hong Ying said fearlessly: "I put on sunscreen. ”

Eric pointed at Qiao Xihe, "Look at her appearance, obviously she didn't paint anything on her face. ”

Hong Ying glanced at Qiao Xihe's plain face, smiled and snorted coldly, "I also said that you two are just ordinary friends, and you observe so carefully." ”

Eric waved his hand and said, "I just look at it and guess it, Miss Hong will spare me, don't say it again, otherwise, I'm afraid that Xihe won't tell me anything else in the country anymore." ”

"Can I tell you?" Hong Ying's eyes lit up, and she said without thinking: "Actually, after I resigned this time, I plan to use the money I saved to enjoy the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and we may be able to become very tacit companions." ”

"......" Eric hurriedly dried his throat and looked at Qiao Xihe like asking for help.

Qiao Xihe said: "This is something that needs to be planned, so let's think about it in the long run." ”

Eric quickly nodded in agreement, "yes, you have to have a plan before you can start acting." ”

In this regard, Hong Ying did not object, "You are right. Okay, then let's come back to the river tomorrow to catch lobsters, let's go, let's go back. ”

"Hmm. Qiao Xihe secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked up the slope.

Hong Ying was so eager just now that in just a few words, she had already taken her down to half of the slope.

And on this slope, there are some sparse weeds, and a crooked neck tree, in addition, there is a piece of mud and sand under your feet, and when you walk, the fine sand and gravel roll down the slope, and from time to time there are rocks with sloppy feet, half embedded in the mud, and you will step on it if you are not careful.

"Be careful. Hong Ying reminded carefully.

Qiao Xihe nodded, just raised her foot, and was about to take a step forward, but who knew that Hong Ying next to her suddenly said "ouch", and then her whole body fell to her. She didn't have time to do anything to deal with it, she was hit by Hong Ying like this, staggered a few steps, and was almost about to stabilize her body, when she stepped on a sharp stone impartially, and a piercing pain came from the soles of her feet, and instantly spread to all the limbs.

Qiao Xihe only felt a "buzz" in his head, and the whole person fell to the ground uncontrollably, and then rolled down the steep slope towards the river.
