Chapter 55: The Trapped Beast
86_86324 Without waiting for the girl's invitation, several of us each pulled up a chair next to the meal, sat around the table, and waited for Aunt Li to bring the chopsticks.
Fed up with snacks and compressed biscuits, looking at the steaming food in front of me, I'm also looking forward to a quick meal.
When the girl had finished serving us food, she put down the spoon in the bowl and went out of the house. We hurriedly said thank you, but she just smiled back at us, still not speaking. Looking at her leaving, I was thinking, this young and beautiful girl, since she entered the door, has not opened her mouth, is she a mute?
Wu Linyu was attracted by the steaming food just now, and then he noticed the girl, he only glanced at the girl's smile, and said, "This girl is very beautiful." ”
"Go up and ask for a call." Zhou Zhihong took off his glasses and said to him.
Lao Chen shook his head, straightened his hair and said, "Don't think about it, she was already snatched by Liu Wei." ”
"What? Liu Wei snatched it? Wu Linyu said with some surprise.
Duan Ke crooked his mouth, hit me in the waist with his fist, and said while hitting me: "Tell you to peek, peek, peek, and everyone has a boyfriend!" ”
I immediately covered my waist and said to her, "Aren't you also peeking at Foreman Li?" ”
Hearing the word "peeking", Duan Ke was suffocated by the gazes of several people. She didn't bother to tell me any more reason, and said to me with jealousy: "Anyway, you can't look at her anymore, or I'll gouge out your eyes!" ”
Looking at the girl's behavior just now, it was completely out of male instinct, but how could Duan Ke empathize with this, so I grabbed Duan Ke's hand and put it in the palm of my hand, and hurriedly said Okay, I'll see you in the future.
Lao Chen was amused by the conversation between the two of us, he turned his head and continued to say to Wu Linyu: "Yes, it's been so long, maybe there are children." ”
When Wu Linyu heard this, his mouth immediately fell. He pinched his nose very unpleasantly, and he didn't want to say anything more. Zhou Zhihong saw his movements, didn't look over his head and snickered, then picked up a few grains of rice on the edge of the bowl and carefully put them in his mouth.
"It's really rice, cooked." After Zhou Zhihong put the rice in his mouth, he tasted it carefully and said to us.
"Nonsense, I've heard of fake eggs, but fake rice, which neuropathy does it." I picked up his words and said.
Wu Linyu lowered his head and pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about the girl just now. He looked up at the pot of fresh fish soup on the table for a moment, and the expression on his face became anxious again. He said that if we didn't start eating, the fish would be cold. So he was ready to run to the kitchen and look for chopsticks for us.
"I don't get it." Wu Linyu was just about to stand up when he heard Uncle Wang say something to himself.
Uncle Wang crossed his hands in front of the table, looking at the pot of fish on the table, his brows were about to wrinkle into meat lumps.
"What?" Wu Linyu asked him.
"Take our guns and invite us to dinner." Uncle Wang ignored him and continued to say word by word.
"I think this is Foreman Li making a gesture of goodwill." In order to resolve Wu Linyu's embarrassment, I immediately added. Uncle Wang glanced at me, and a lot of wrinkles instantly appeared on his head.
While counting the wrinkles on his forehead, I said, "I think Master Chen is right, Foreman Li invited us here not to harm us, although I don't know what the purpose of him inviting us to dinner was." ”
"Could it be poisoning the rice?" Zhou Zhihong said a little nervously.
"," Wu Linyu said to him, "Didn't you eat rice just now, and I didn't see you foaming at the mouth." ”
Hearing the conjecture of poisoning, I also thought it was nonsense, so I said: "There are so many of us, Foreman Li wants to harm us, maybe we don't need a single bullet, why go to all the trouble to invite you upstairs to dinner, and then poison you?" ”
After listening to me, Zhou Zhihong spread his hands on the dining table, meaning that I said well, and he was speechless.
"It doesn't matter if the fuck shows favor or bad, in short, with that Liu Wei here, I won't stay here." Wu Linyu said.
He looked at me, wondering if I was thinking the same way as his. I had to nod my head to him to show that I agreed with what he said.
At this moment, footsteps sounded at the door. Looking at the door, Aunt Li was walking towards us with a few boxes of fresh-keeping boxes. I paid special attention to her surroundings, but unfortunately, Aunt Li was the only one, and the girl didn't follow just now.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's been a long wait." As soon as Aunt Li entered the door, she couldn't wait to open her enthusiastic tone. We stopped talking and turned to look at her.
Aunt Li took small steps quickly, put the two boxes of fresh-keeping boxes on the table, and then buttoned the lid of the fresh-keeping boxes. Hot air came out of the crisper box, which contained sautéed lettuce.
"Eat, whatever you want, you taste it." Aunt Li said with a smile, let's say.
A few of us looked at the dishes on the table, and when we heard Aunt Li's signal, we could only look at it, because we didn't have chopsticks.
"No chopsticks." Zhou Zhihong was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly.
When Aunt Li heard this, she immediately patted the door of her head with the back of her hand, and said with some guilt: "Ah, I forgot, you wait, I'll go downstairs and get it." ”
"Don't bother," I said, standing up and telling her, "I'll go look in the kitchen, there should be one here." ”
So I walked briskly to the kitchen and looked for chopsticks. In this small house, everything is so exquisite, even the kitchen is so small, I visually see that this kitchen is only about four or five square meters.
Of course, small also has small benefits, I swept my eyes and found the chopstick box hanging on the wall next to the wooden knife rack in the kitchen.
For the sake of convenience, I was too lazy to count them one by one, so I grabbed a handful of chopsticks at random and walked out of the kitchen.
When Aunt Li saw that I got the chopsticks, she said, "Then you eat first, I'll go downstairs first, if you need anything, just call me on the balcony." ”
We nodded to her, and I handed out chopsticks to the people at the table. Aunt Li smiled at us for the last time, then walked out of the house and closed the door.
"She's such a nice person." Zhou Zhihong said.
At this time, who still has time to talk, after everyone got the chopsticks, they couldn't wait to reach out and pick up the vegetables. I haven't used the chopsticks in my hand for a while, and now that I hold them in my hand again, I can't help but feel a little rusty. It took me a few seconds to familiarize myself with the essentials of using chopsticks, and then I joined the gobble team.
Heated food, both in terms of nutrition and taste, is not comparable to food without temperature. It turns out that after human beings discovered and learned to use fire, it not only made human civilization take a big step, but also made human taste buds move forward in several stages. It is no wonder that in recent years, the troops have to make self-heating food for the officers and men, and the pain of not being able to eat hot food can only be experienced after chewing compressed biscuits for a week.
In half an hour, we ate all the food on the table. Except for fish bones, there is basically nothing left. Zhou Zhihong and Wu Linyu are still competing for the last bowl of fish soup. The result after they guessed was that Wu Linyu got the bowl of fish soup. Although there is nothing left on the table, it is far from enough to feed six people, and it seems that Foreman Li's sincerity is not enough.
Looking at the empty rice bowl, we could only hold back our incomplete appetite, and we were embarrassed to find Sister Li again, saying that we were not full.
After a few words of exchange, we all expressed the joy in our hearts. Looking at Wu Linyu's satisfied expression, I feel that there is still a good chance that he will choose to stay here, even if his rival Liu Wei is still there. Under Lao Chen's suggestion, we simply cleaned up the leftovers on the table and put them in the kitchen.
Looking at the watch, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Uncle Wang, a few of us smoked cigarettes, walked to the balcony, ready to enjoy a beautiful moment of a cigarette after dinner.
"Hey, how did they go?" Wu Linyu lit his eyes and looked downstairs, puzzled.
We followed and saw several people gathered in front of the van, with several doors open as if they were preparing where to go. When I looked again, I found that Foreman Li and Liu Wei were also standing downstairs. They exchanged ideas for a while and got into the car.
As soon as the van started, it drove towards the entrance of the community. How did you go? When I saw the van that drove away, I also felt a little strange, aren't we under house arrest here, and Foreman Li took people out again, so he couldn't be too relieved for us, right?
Wu Linyu took off the cigarette butt from his mouth, squinted his eyes and spit out the cigarette and said, "It seems that they didn't take us seriously, so they left two people downstairs." ”
Two people were leaning on the edge of Lao Chen's truck, one of them holding a gun and smoking a cigarette. The two men spotted us on the balcony, but they didn't pay much attention to it, took one look at us, sat down on the wooden chairs, and continued the conversation.
"It's definitely only part of it, there must be someone downstairs guarding us." I said to him.
Wu Linyu pinched the filter of the cigarette, turned to me and said, "If you give me a gun now, I can take you out." ”
Get out? It seems that a hot meal still can't keep Wu Linyu. The thought of being able to escape made my heart itch. Although I kept convincing myself before, Foreman Li invited us here without malice and was showing favor to us. However, who knows what he is calculating, a meal, can not explain anything. I'm a man, so it's okay to stay here, but if other people have bad intentions towards Duan Ke, it will be troublesome.
If you can really escape, this must be the best.
So when I heard Wu Linyu's words, I immediately thought of Duan Ke's revolver, so I looked at the two people downstairs and said to him: "If you use a pistol, how sure are you?" ”。
