Meal preparation
"Great harvest!" Gong Chen walked briskly to Yu Siqi with a few rabbits that had already burped, and deliberately raised the trophies in his hand and said, "I have dug up several nests in a row, but I can be regarded as arresting all of this family." This little thing was clever, and took me around in a big circle before daring to go back to the nest. ”
"I didn't expect you guys to come back together, nothing happened on the way, right?" Facing the intact two, Yu Siqi was a little overjoyed.
At this time, Luo Ning had already laid down beside his 'good brothers' under the premise that no one was noticing, pretending that he was just a rotten dry bone.
"Something could have happened, but nothing has happened since I met the priest on the road." Gong Chen put the rabbit corpse aside, and Yu Siqi noticed that the wounds of the rabbits were all concentrated on the neck and chest, and they were all diamond-shaped fatal wounds.
"Doesn't sound like I should be there?" Father Ann also removed a makeshift bag, which contained some unsightly mushrooms and a little green fruit.
"Say anything, I'll go get some water." Gong Chen glanced at the fruitful ingredients, turned around and wanted to leave, but was kept by Yu Siqi, who reminded: "Pay attention when you go out, there may be restless things in the dark." ”
Although Gong Chen was stunned for a moment by Yu Siqi's inexplicable words, he still thanked him and left. It seems that hunger is more 'terrifying' than danger.
It was Father An, and when he leaned over to sort the ingredients, he didn't raise his head and said, "Brother Pork Ribs over there, don't pretend." Next time, if you want to disguise, I personally recommend that you better prefer. Leaning under people's noses, is it a test of my IQ? ”
"Sure enough, you still haven't hidden it?" Ronin struggled to get up from the pile of bones, then sat down between them very calmly and said, "You are lucky, Rimbaud rabbits generally don't like to make nests by the sea. ”
Luo Ning's casual behavior made Father An unbearable, and he asked Yu Siqi with a bright eye, "Aren't you going to introduce me to your new friend, my good student?" ”
The priest's analytical skills are very strong, which Yu Siqi has known for a long time. However, his heart is always like those who are eager for answers, driving him to the end. So he, like everyone else, showed a slightly surprised expression.
"How do you know I know him?"
"Oh, if you don't know him. Then judging by your usual posture, you will definitely react to it somewhat. But look at you now, and let such individuals appear around you. I think that's pretty telling. Father Ann reasoned his reasoning and shifted his gaze to Ronin.
Faced with Father An's convincing answer, Yu Siqi didn't have time to comment on it, but Luo Ning on the side took the initiative to speak: "The way you speak is very much like a wise man, I have heard rumors more than once before. The rumored wise men all spoke like this, and they thought everything out of their minds. ”
"I remember that none of the 'wise men' in Lameshiani's history seem to have died well, and I hope I don't want to be like them." Father Ann didn't seem to be angry at Ronin's words, but became more interested in Ronin. For this reason, Yu Siqi began to tell him how he met him, how he met, and the origin of the Night People under his expectant eyes.
After listening, Father An suddenly realized: "No wonder you specially reminded Gong Chen's kid, I'm afraid he may not be able to listen." ”
As soon as the words fell, they saw Gong Chen, who was carrying a bucket, desperately rushing towards them. Judging from the embarrassment on his face and the splashing of the bucket from time to time, it seemed that he had probably encountered something.
However, just as Yu Siqi was about to get up and go over to see the situation, and by the way, see what the Night People looked like. Gong Chen, who had already run to the light, suddenly stopped, he looked left and right, and found that the thing chasing him was gone. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and put the bucket to the door. Then he took a large basin out of his pocket, poured the appropriate fresh water, and put the rabbits in it and washed them.
As his breathing gradually became normal, he washed the rabbit and said, "Fortunately, buddy gave me a wake-up call, otherwise I would have almost succeeded in 'stealing chickens' by that ghost." Good guy, it turns out that he is afraid of light. ”
When Gong Chen complained to himself, he subconsciously turned his face to look at Yu Siqi, as if he was going to thank him, but he couldn't help but notice that there was something more among them. When his somewhat dull reflex nerve realized this, his mouth was wide open and his eyes were round when Luo Ning looked at him carefully.
"Hello, my name is Luo Ning, and I am the caretaker of this lighthouse." Luo Ning took the initiative to stretch out his withered yellow hand bones, as if he wanted to shake hands with Gong Chen, but Gong Chen did not respond.
"It looks like Gong Chen's trip is much more thrilling than before!" Yu Siqi laughed unconsciously, not only because Gong Chen's expression was too funny, but also because Luo Ning always had a pampered attitude.
It was probably Yu Siqi's words that made Gong Chen come back to his senses a little, and after putting away his extremely exaggerated expression, he continued to do the cleaning work.
At this time, Father Ann also lit a fire in the middle of them and set up a simple barbecue grill in the gap where everyone was not looking.
For a while, the temperature in the house rose sharply.
Luo Ning, who was treated indifferently by Gong Chen, seemed to notice that he was not particularly popular, so he slowly stood up, and when Yu Siqi thought that he might take the opportunity to leave, he dug out a bottle full of liquid from an inconspicuous corner, handed it to everyone and said: "Good mouth, I can no longer enjoy the sweetness and mellow fragrance in my throat, so I might as well give it to you." ”
"Mouth? That's a shame! Who would have thought that we would be lucky enough to taste the original sake of the Lost Empire. As a result, Father An of the wine bottle was very excited to unscrew the cap, and the faint aroma of wine wafting from it made Yu Siqi, a person who had never drunk alcohol, feel the charm of it.
Perhaps it was because Luo Ning gave him a bottle of good wine that Gong Chen began to be less resistant to Luo Ning's existence. Soon, they were in a fight, with Gong Chen in charge of skinning the rabbit and Luo Ning carrying the rabbit in his hands for him.
"How did you become so virtuous?" Gong Chen asked casually, "I bet you definitely didn't have only bones in the first place." ”
"I don't know, I just remember that day I lost playing cards with the Mamluks, and I was punished and tied to the rooftop blowing the cold wind until dawn. Then he lost consciousness, and when he woke up again, he was already this virtuous person. My other friends, like the Mamluks, were so well taken care of by the Night People that they couldn't continue to live like I did. In order to take care of Gong Chen, Luo Ning also deliberately flipped his arm, so that Gong Chen could be more comfortable when peeling.
"Doesn't that sound like a good story, are you all so dangerous?" Gong Chen asked again.
"As long as there is light, all dangers can be easily resolved." Luo Ning suddenly looked proudly at the top of his head and said, "This is one of the reasons why the lighthouse must exist." ”
"But it's deserted." Yu Siqi, who was sharpening bamboo sticks with a knife, said.
"This is true, and it seems that my mission has been accomplished. All that's left is to go to the village at dawn to submit a resignation report, and then go home. Luo Ning said very open-mindedly.
"Do you still have family?" Gong Chen's blurted out question made him feel a little rude, so he hurriedly lowered his head and continued to work, pretending not to say it.
But Luo Ning still replied tepidly: "I have a son named Roger." ”
