Section 116 Appearance
Seeing that the students were almost gathered, Li Rui came out to speak to everyone. In order not to cause panic, Li Rui did not say that there were unidentified suspicious characters in the vicinity, but only told everyone to pay attention to safety when playing, not to leave the brigade too far, and not to go too deep into the jungle. When playing, it's best to combine multiple people and don't go out alone.
Because Li Rui said this unclearly, the students suddenly became clamoring - everyone was having fun, but they were called back like this, and they thought there was something important, but they didn't expect it to be these old-fashioned "pay attention to safety" nonsense - these words were said several times before leaving, so why bother saying them here again?
Seeing everyone's dissatisfaction, Situ Xiao stood up to help Li Rui play the round: "Of course, we specially called everyone back and told everyone to pay attention to safety, this is one thing; ”
When it came to barbecue and lunch, the students burst into laughter – after a morning of tossing and turning, they were a little hungry when they saw the sun rise in the center. At the moment, more than a dozen male and female students were busy, the boys were busy setting up the stove to light the charcoal fire, and the girls took out the chicken wings, chicken legs and beef and other prepared foods to barbecue.
Chen Yaoyu saw that Xu Yan was idle, and sent him a job to help string chicken wings, and Xu Yan also got rid of the embarrassing situation of doing nothing and was as busy as everyone else.
Soon, a rich aroma of cumin powder and meat came out, and the first batch of roasted chicken wings and beef were declared successful. At this time, the girls can't care about their ladylike demeanor. Hee-hee-ha, you snatch me, it's not lively for a while. Chen Yaoyu came back with two chicken wings alone and handed one to Xu Yan: "Come." For you, taste the taste. ”
"Harukayu, your craft—uh, your luck is too bad...... Look at these chicken wings, half of them are burnt, and half of them are red......"
"I know, these chicken wings must be badly grilled," Chen Yaoyu said with a smile: "Nonsense, if the barbecue is good." Why should I give it to you? I can't eat it myself?"
Xu Yan held the bloody chicken wings, looked at them again and again, and finally didn't dare to eat them: he was worried about bird flu.
The beauty was unreliable, there was no way, Xu Yan had to do it himself, and he had enough food and clothing. He took matters into his own hands, carefully mixed the seasonings, and roasted a few chicken wings slowly, and the aroma spread out. Causing everyone's noses to stir, Chen Yaoyu was the first to be attracted and shouted: "Xu Yan, I didn't expect you to have this kind of craftsmanship! After these two chicken wings were baked, I made a reservation!"
"I want one too. I want one too!" Chu Yan jumped over, snorting hard: "It's so fragrant!" How do you bake it? Why can't I bake it?"
Zhang Ningbo and Zhang Ningbo, the two girls, also came over and said with a smile: "Hehe." I can't see it, our Xu Yan is still a master chef - help us bake two, no problem, right?"
has the opportunity to show off his skills in front of girls, this is the dream of all boys, Xu Yan was very proud, he agreed without hesitation: "No problem, it's on me!"
Liu Fatzi came out from behind Zhang Ningbo, and said with a shy smile: "Yanzi, I ......"
"Mr. is very familiar, may I ask your surname?"
The fat man was heartbroken, and the beauties smiled: "Hehe, thank you! Xu Yan, you roast so fragrantly, do you have any secret?"
Xu Yan put on a straight face, learning from Stephen Chow in the movie "God of Food", clasped his hands together, and put on a solemn and solemn appearance: "Amitabha, female benefactor, if you want to bake fragrantly, there is only one secret, and that is to use your heart! Amitabha!"
Xu Yan pretended to be a ghost, several girls giggled, laughing and trembling, Wang Lu in the distance gritted his teeth, and the gaze cast over him was like throwing a javelin, eager to poke Xu Yan into a thousand holes.
Because he received the order of the beauty, Xu Yan was busy by the fire. Whenever the chicken wings are baked, there is always a beautiful woman who comes up to him and smiles sweetly: "Thank you, Xu Yan~~" and then take the grilled chicken wings to the side and feast on them.
In this way, Xu Yan roasted more than a dozen chicken wings in a row, but they were all cheaper than Chen Yaoyu's roommates, and he didn't eat any of them. If it goes on like this, Chen Yaoyu can't stand it anymore, she can't talk about her roommate directly, so she can only lean close to Xu Yan and whisper: "Xu Yan, you stupid, these girls are deliberately using you to work for nothing! Don't be stupid, just bake it and eat it yourself." ”
Xu Yan smiled, and he said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's natural for a man to be used by a woman." Man, this is what this enlightenment should be. I'm most afraid that there are no beautiful women to take advantage of me, that's sad, isn't it?"
Chen Yaoyu sneered: "You have a lot of crooked theories. Suddenly, she was stunned, shook her head, and said, "No—you shouldn't say that I'm using you too, right?"
Xu Yan smirked innocently, lowered his head and concentrated on roasting chicken wings without speaking-nonsense, you used me as a shield, and said that you didn't use me?
Experienced people know that barbecue is actually just a smell, and it doesn't taste very good. Xu Yan roasted a few batches of chicken wings, and the girls could eat the chicken wings leisurely, and the momentum of fighting was relaxed.
At this time, Xu Yan could finally rest, he sat by the oven, leisurely skewered himself with a pair of chicken wings, carefully sprinkled the chicken wings with cumin powder, smeared the chicken wings with a brush, and then put the chicken wings on the charcoal stove to roast - at this time, he noticed that someone next to him was paying attention to him, he naturally turned his head and looked over, but he met Chen Yaoyu's eyes.
"Hmm, Harukayu, what are you staring at me?"
Chen Yaoyu's face turned red, and she turned her head: "It's nothing." She was embarrassed to tell Xu Yan, but in fact, she was fascinated by Xu Yan. Just now, Xu Yan's series of movements were swaying freely, the movements were pleasing to the eye, as smooth as flowing water, and there seemed to be a beautiful and mysterious rhythm between the movements. made Chen Yaoyu fascinated and intoxicated.
Seeing Chen Yaoyu's strange expression, Xu Yan was waiting to continue to ask. But at this moment, the corner of his eye flashed. It was as if something strange was shaking.
Xu Yan immediately turned his head and looked at the place where he had just felt strange: it was a shrub jungle from the high woods, and the grass was lush and green. He turned his head and asked Chen Yaoyu, "Yaoyu, did you see it just now?"
Chen Yaoyu followed the prestige, and then she shook her head: "No, I don't see anything—it's just the woods!"
"Maybe I'm wrong. ”
Before the words fell, the bushes shook again, Chen Yaoyu and Xu Yan could see it clearly, and the two of them said in unison: "There are people over there!"
There were indeed people, from the edge of the woods over there. Out came a man in a cyan tracksuit, this man had a flat head with very short hair, a burly figure, and a very strong figure. Then, out of the woods came several more men, tall and short, but all wearing tracksuits, with short hair and flat heads.
Xu Yan frowned slightly, he counted, there were six people on the other side.
The men in tracksuits stopped at the edge of the woods. Looking at the college students here, they didn't approach immediately, but gathered in a circle to discuss. Look over here from time to time.
Chen Yaoyu asked beside Xu Yan, "What are those people doing?"
Xu Yan shook his head: "I don't know...... Maybe it's a tourist who comes to climb the mountain. This sentence is not so much Xu Yan's speculation. It's more like Xu Yan's hope. But he himself knows that the possibilities are very small. Because the police blocked the entrance to the Qingxiu Mountain Scenic Area, ordinary tourists. They can't get into this scenic area at all, and they shouldn't be here.
At this time, the other college students also noticed the group of strangers standing at the edge of the woods. Everyone started talking: "Who is that?"
"They stood there and watched us, but they didn't leave, what are they trying to do?"
The students squeaked and scummed, but no one could make a definitive conclusion. Xu Yan smacked his lips, but he knew that this was a common problem shared by most people, and it was often difficult to determine when encountering problems.
Things are often so strange, when people are alone, when they encounter a crisis, they can often quickly judge the danger and make a decision to avoid danger. However, if a person is mixed with the crowd, he will have a herd mentality, and when he encounters something, both his observation ability and judgment ability will decline rapidly, and it is often difficult to make timely and accurate judgments.
At this time, a few men over there had finished discussing, and they dispersed in twos and threes, and then walked over to this side.
Looking at the formation they came over, Xu Yan's heart tightened: it may be because of his cultivation, Xu Yan is very sensitive to people's qi and machine. Although those people were still far away, Xu Yan faintly felt that there was a very unfriendly smell exuding from them—there was no reason at all, Xu Yan just felt very uncomfortable.
In contrast, the college students on their side are either sitting in place with chicken wings and nibbling on them, or they are not squeaking and talking, and they are completely unprepared for the conflicts and accidents that are about to arise.
Xu Yan took a deep breath, and he whispered to Chen Yaoyu, "You come with me." ”
Xu Yan spoke to himself in such a commanding tone, Chen Yaoyu was very unhappy, but seeing Xu Yan's stern expression, she was slightly awe-inspiring, she obediently put down the half-eaten chicken wings in her hand, followed behind Xu Yan obediently, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xu Yan glanced at a few familiar girls beside Chen Yaoyu and beckoned, "You all come with me." He didn't explain, and turned to his car parked in the distance.
Xu Yan walked quickly to the side of the car, turned on the car, and looked back, but saw that only Chen Yaoyu was following behind him, Chu Yan, Zhang Ningbo and other girls did not follow, they sat on the same side as usual, as if they couldn't react and looked at Xu Yan, with surprise and surprise in their eyes, and they didn't understand why Xu Yan suddenly called them over.
Looking at the girls who were sitting in place, Xu Yan sighed - he gave them a chance, but they didn't catch it. He was not verbose, opened the car door directly, and said to Chen Yaoyu simply: "Sit down." ”
Although he didn't understand what was going on, seeing that Xu Yan's expression was wrong, Chen Yaoyu obediently opened the door and got into the car. Xu Yan opened the door of the cab and was about to get into the car, but suddenly saw that the door on the other side was also opened, and Situ Xiao led Gong Xueting to stand in the car door.
Xu Yan and Situ Xiao glanced at each other - between smart people. There is no need to say a lot of words, just a glance. Both sides understood each other's thoughts.
But to Xu Yan's surprise, Situ Xiao did not get into the car. He let Gong Xueting get into the car, and he was still standing outside the car door, which made Xu Yan quite surprised, and he said in surprise: "Teacher Situ, don't you come up?"
Situ shook his head with a smile, and he said quickly: "Xu Yan, you can drive away and help take care of Xueting." ”
"Ah, aren't you coming up?" Xu Yan was puzzled: Situ Xiao is the kind of person with a high IQ and understanding, he shouldn't be able to see it. The men who came over had bad intentions, they deliberately came around from the other side of the woods, and faintly formed a semi-circle of encirclement, which had blocked the group of college students who were still happily eating barbecue on the grass on the edge of the cliff. If you don't want to jump off the cliff, these college students have no way to escape - this, Situ Xiao shouldn't be able to see this, why didn't he follow him?
Situ shook his head with a smile, and he said quickly: "After all, I am a teacher, and they are still students. I owe it to them. I'll stay and see if I can help. You help me take care of Xueting-san - uh, and Yaoyu-san.
Don't move on your side yet, just watch. If something is wrong, you drive away immediately and someone stops. Just crash into it, don't panic! They can't stop the car - be careful on the road. Don't get lost. ”
He turned and walked back towards the group of students over there, but stopped again. He said to Xu Yan: "When I found the bloodstains, I had already called the police, but our place is a little off, and the police may not be able to come so quickly." Xu Yan, you drove out, and when you saw the police, you quickly showed them the way. ”
Xu Yan subconsciously responded: "Uh, okay." At that moment, he sat down in the driver's seat, took out the key and inserted it into the car, but did not ignite it, but watched Situ Xiao walk back through the window to the group of students over there.
Xu Yan didn't speak, and the two girls didn't speak either-Chen Yaoyu and Gong Xueting were not stupid people, and seeing Situ Xiao and Xu Yan's actions and conversations, they could also guess what was about to happen.
Xu Yan sat in the driver's seat, silent, but he could feel that two eyes pierced his back behind him, making him feel like a needle in his back.
"Teacher Situ...... He won't have anything to do, right?" The person who spoke was Chen Yaoyu, her voice was a little uneasy, with a slight tremble: "Those people, they can't be bad people, right?"
Xu Yan lowered his head and said "um", but did not answer, his hand was still holding the key of the car tightly, but he did not start the car, but just looked at the students over there silently - those strange men were already approaching the students.
He looked up and glanced in the rearview mirror. In the rearview mirror, he saw that Gong Xueting, who was sitting in the back row, had a pale face, her hands were tightly grasping the zipper of her chest, she looked at the crowd of students over there, and from time to time she looked at her back, and her eyes showed a very complicated look - frightened, worried, pleading, pleading - without speaking, that gaze had revealed her thoughts.
No one spoke, there was silence in the carriage, and in the silence, the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.
The silence weighed down Xu Yanxin's head, and he felt that the gaze cast behind him was like a needle piercing his back.
Although Xu Yan appeared calm and calm on the surface, his heart was far less calm than what he appeared. He repeatedly told himself that his response was correct, that it was necessary to take response measures for the impending crisis, but his eyes were always staring at the departing back, looking at Situ Xiao's figure.
The moment he saw Situ Xiao turn around and walk back, Xu Yan understood how big the gap between himself and Situ Xiao was, and why Gong Xueting chose him instead of herself - this is the difference between a teenager and a mature man, that is, responsibility and responsibility. When the crisis came, he only thought about escaping, and Situ Xiao still remembered his responsibility as a teacher.
The time is poor. At a critical time, the true temperament of people is the most visible.
Yes, he is a major officer in the Ministry of Intelligence, he has a savings income of several millions, and he is still a cultivator who looks down on all living beings—but so what? In terms of mentality, he is just an immature teenager, and he is far from being a responsible man.
I have been suffering, why did Gong Xueting choose Situ Xiao instead of herself - this should be the answer!
In the face of the crisis, I became a deserter!
Xu Yan squeezed the steering wheel tightly, and his fingers turned white. A voice roared and told him: If he left like this, he would lose to Situ Xiao forever - if he lost to Situ Xiao in terms of knowledge, cultivation and experience, it would still be understandable, after all, these things need time to precipitate, but if he loses to Situ Xiao with the responsibility and courage of being a man, Xu Yan will never be able to bear it!
An unarmed ordinary person dares to stay, in front of the girl he likes, he, a cultivator who has "already entered the preliminary stage" according to Zhu Youxiang, is scared and wants to run away?
Xu Yan raised his head suddenly, and he said to Chen Yaoyu: "Yaoyu, you sit in my place - come here in the driver's seat!"
