Chapter 258: A Dead Man in the Mountains
This sleep didn't last long, and Gu Lan was woken up by his uncompetitive stomach. ()
The little baby in the belly also seems to be a little hungry, and he is kicking his belly.
Gu Lan got up and comforted the baby under his belly, rubbed his eyes, and seemed to see a small fire in the haze.
She looked at it with wide eyes, there was really nothing wrong, it was a fire.
Importantly, there is also a chicken strung in a tree branch on the fire!
It seems to be in the script she wrote, the male and female protagonists are in distress in the mountains and forests, and the male protagonist goes out to hunt a pheasant and comes back.
What should be below? Did the fragrance attract Hong Qigong?
Gu Lan shook his head, his brain hole was getting bigger and bigger.
She definitely didn't believe that Shen Yichen could go out and hunt a pheasant, so the problem came!
What's going on with this chicken?
And on the ground, a small tent has been erected, and clean clothes are neatly placed in the tent.
Could it be that Shen Yichen has a Doraemon?
"What do you want, so distracted?" Shen Yichen had already found that she had woken up, and it happened that the roast chicken had already been prepared, so he walked to Gu Lan and sat down with a wooden stick and a chicken.
Gu Lan looked at the chicken and swallowed his saliva, stretched out a finger and poked the chicken.
It's hot!
It doesn't seem to be a dream!
Wake up with a chicken to eat!
"Fool, it's too hot, you have to be cold, here's some porridge for you to drink first. ”
Shen Yichen took out a stainless steel bowl of gruel from behind his back like a trick and handed it to Gu Lan.
"How did all this come about?" Gu Lan didn't dare to take it, she looked around, making sure that there was no Zhu Yi'an and them.
"Helicopter delivery. Shen Yichen didn't tease her, and directly said the source.
Gu Lan's eyes were full of surprise: "Helicopter? Didn't you say that helicopters can't land?"
"But I didn't say helicopters can't airdrop supplies. The corners of Shen Yichen's mouth curved, revealing an impeccable perfect arc, and he raised the phone in his other hand without hesitation: "I said, I have a satellite phone, they can locate me." ”
Gu Lan grabbed the porridge in his hand and drank it in a big gulp.
Although I feel that Shen Yichen's trench is a bit excessive, he can save his life at a critical moment!
"Slow down, don't choke. Shen Yichen's eyes were full of tenderness.
Gu Lan finished drinking the porridge and stared at the roast chicken in Shen Yichen's hand with his eyes.
Not... Wouldn't it be unsightly to grab and gnaw directly.
Shen Yichen discovered her intentions and chuckled: "Obediently, go to the tent to change clothes first, don't catch a cold." ”
With an infinite love for roast chicken, Gu Lan walked back to the tent step by step.
When she finished changing her clothes, she found Shen Yichen sitting on a stone with a roast chicken in one hand and a dagger in the other, peeling off the roast chicken one by one and putting it in a bowl.
Reflecting the scorching firelight, Shen Yichen was dressed in a black sportswear, and his delicate eyebrows and eyes were intoxicating.
Gu Lan leaned over like a little gluttonous cat, greedily sucking the aroma of roast chicken.
"It's not that mudslides are terrible, why are we safe? After Gu Lan had eaten and drunk enough, he leaned on Shen Yichen with satisfaction, broke his fingers with his hand, and counted them one by one.
"Remember that cliff? It was already the highest part of the mountain, and the place where we rested was a little below the cliff, so it was basically still at a high place, not as dangerous as the bottom of the mountain. ”
Shen Yichen's tone was weak, but Gu Lan's heart was shocked.
"Isn't it the place where we lived before we came, the farm under the mountain?"
Shen Yichen's eyes were slightly dark, and he should not be spared.
"Natural disasters are terrible. Gu Lan couldn't help but lean over and clinged to Shen Yichen's body, trying to dispel the haze in his heart.
The corners of Shen Yichen's mouth hooked up a sneer.
He would never believe it.
Although Gu Lan slept sweetly this night, Shen Yichen had no sleep all night, and he opened his eyes until dawn.
The sky is flashing, and the mountains after the rain are filled with patches of mist, which is as beautiful as a fairyland.
When Gu Lan woke up, Shen Yichen was no longer by her side.
She tidied up her clothes and put on an extra coat, but the morning in the forest was still very cold.
Zhu Yi'an's familiar laughter broke the calm of the forest.
"I was worried that you would starve to death yesterday, but I didn't expect there to be such a thing as a helicopter. ”
Not far away, five or six figures came through the fog.
Oh no!
Why are there six of them?
Gu Lan counted carefully, there were really six! Shouldn't he add himself to a total of six people?
She hugged herself tightly, feeling a chill.
The sixth man stood in the fog in darkness, as if he had a long knife in his hand.
"You guys, how many people do you have?" Gu Lan's voice was weak, for fear of alarming that person.
"Why, stupid by the mudslide? There were six of us. ”
Zhu Yi'an pushed the gold-wire glasses on his face, and maintained a gentle and elegant temperament despite being embarrassed.
"That's... Then why did I count seven people, is there a ghost!" Gu Lan cried a little, walked two steps quickly and hid behind Shen Yichen, pointing to the figure by the tree in the fog.
"Haha......" Liang Luochuan finally couldn't help laughing.
He turned and let the figure behind him out.
It was a swarthy man, with a scruffy beard and old clothes, like someone from the fifties.
The strong man scratched his head and said with a shy smile that was very inconsistent with his figure: "I'm sorry, I scared you." ”
Fortunately, it's a human being, not a ghost!
Gu Lan patted his chest and walked out from behind Shen Yichen.
The corners of Shen Yichen's mouth were also smiling.
It's so funny!
She was really frightened by yesterday's mudslide!
It's just that why does she think this strong man is so familiar?
"Lan Lan, are you okay?" Zhou Xiuzhen stepped forward and took Gu Lan's hand, and looked at her from top to bottom with loving eyes, making sure that she was not missing arms or legs, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom, I'm fine. Is Dad feeling better?"
Gu Mingcheng behind Zhou Xiuzhen seemed to be a little uncomfortable, covering his mouth and coughing all the time.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just in the rain, maybe I have some cold, and I've already drunk medicine. Gu Mingcheng waved his hand, found the stone under the tree and sat down.
"Who is this?" Gu Lan pointed to the swarthy strong man.
"Hello, my name is Chu Tianxing!" The strong man was very shy and his voice was not loud, but Gu Lan was shocked.
He said his surname was Chu?
I think he's familiar, isn't he...
Gu Lan raised his head and looked at Shen Yichen with inquiring eyes, and Shen Yichen nodded gently.
Yes, this Chu Tianxing is Chu Chu's family.
"You are Chu Chu, after so many years, you are still the same as when you were a child, but you are getting more and more beautiful. ”
Chu Tianxing took a step forward, wanting to get closer to Gu Lan.
Gu Lan subconsciously wanted to step back, but who expected that Shen Yichen had already stepped forward and crossed in front of her.
His cold gaze made Chu Tianxing's outstretched hand awkwardly let go again.
"Also, after so many years, it's normal not to recognize me, besides, my brother didn't treat you very well back then. ”
Chu Tianxing sighed and put down the machete in his hand.
Zhu Yi'an handed him a cigarette.
He looked up and muffled thanks.
The cigarette butts were clearly extinguished, and the rising smoke brought everyone into a past.
Chu Tianxing is the elder brother of Chu Chu's adoptive father, Chu Chu was only ten years old that year, he has been working outside, because his family is relatively poor, so he has always been looked down upon by his younger brother.
I finally made a little money and returned to Jun County, and it was already three years later.
He heard that his younger brother had a child of his own, and he was very happy for him, but he was a little worried about that smart and lovely adopted daughter Chu Chu.
So he went to Chu Chu's house with a bunch of gifts.
The scene in front of him was indeed as he expected, Chu Chu was wearing coarse cloth clothes and doing work at home, and he had to take his younger brother and clean up.
Because the younger brother wanted to take the cup on the table, Chu Chu didn't see it, but the younger brother accidentally broke the cup.
Chu Chu's adoptive parents were very angry, and pulling Chu Chu up was a violent beating.
Chu Chu ran out of the house sadly.
Chu Tianxing felt that his younger brother had gone too far, and wanted to go up and reason with him, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed and despised for it.
He realized that no matter what he said, there was no way to change Chu Chu's status quo.
So he chased after the poor little girl to comfort her.
Unexpectedly, he didn't find Chu Chu, and when he went back, the entire Chu family was drowned in a fire.
Chu Tianxing didn't dare to approach, because he saw a few people dressed in the city looking at the Chu family's house chatting, and they didn't mean to save people at all.
"Are they all in the house?"
"It's all here, I just went around in a circle, and no one ran out. ”
The people in the city who were the leaders smiled gloomily, casually threw away the lighter in their hands, and beckoned a few people to get into a business car and drive away.
When Chu Tianxing heard what they said, he hid in the corner of the wall in fear and didn't dare to come out, and he didn't even see the license plate number clearly.
Until the whistling police car and fire truck came from a distance.
The crowd of onlookers grew larger, and when the fire was brought under control, the firefighters lifted out three charred bodies from the house, as well as the poor three-year-old child.
"It's so pitiful, I died at such a young age. ”
"Who said it wasn't, what kind of sin did this Chu family create. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't seem to see Chu Chu, did you run out and didn't suffer?"
"God forbid, it's good to survive one. ”
The surrounding neighbors sighed one by one, the Chu family's secrecy work was done very well, and few neighbors knew that Chu Chu had been adopted.
Chu Tianxing felt that something was not right, someone must have deliberately set it on fire, and it was too late to catch it now.
So just as he was about to go up and explain the situation to the police, suddenly the van that had left turned back.
The people who got out of the car were the same as before.
However, they handed cigarettes to several policemen one by one, as if they knew each other very well.
"What's going on here? There are big business owners inspecting here, how can there be such a mess?" The people in the city at the head looked impatient.
A policeman nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a fire, it's a fire, it's not a big problem." ”
"There is nothing wrong with public security, but people want to invest in us, so we can't scare people away. The townsman patted the policeman on the shoulder, turned around and walked away with the man in the car.
Chu Tianxing only vaguely heard these two sentences, and when he was about to get closer, the policeman walked over to the onlookers here viciously.
"It's all gone, it's all gone, don't look at the excitement, what's so good about a fire, you don't have any valuable clues. ”
"Who said there was no clue, when I passed by in the morning, I saw that there seemed to be a migrant worker from the Chu family, dark and swarthy, and then Chu Chu ran out crying. ”
"Oh, I'm afraid it's not this migrant worker who wants to rob, kill people and set fire. ”
The crowd began to whisper.
The policeman beckoned to the man: "Come on, come here, do you have any evidence? Let me tell you, this is a simple case of fire, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”
The crowd was silenced at once.
Jun County, a small county town, is not as far away as a big city, and the emperor is far away, and the county officials here are the head snakes, and few people dare to provoke them.
Although the police were ready to treat this incident as an ordinary fire case, Chu Tianxing was still very afraid, and when he listened to his neighbor's words, he seemed to regard himself as the target of arson.
This is terrible, the daughter-in-law has not yet married, and it is bad to be regarded as a murderer.
So he ran into the mountains all night and hid.
This hiding, he lived in the mountains for fifteen years.
