Chapter 43: Grilled Fish
Xia Xiaohui didn't have any survival skills in the wild, so he didn't know how to get Yuan Qiyou, so he watched him dispose of the internal organs of the fish by himself, and then cleaned up the branches of the fish that had just been forked, skewered the fish, and went back to the place where he had just put his things.
"Where, you take it." Yuan Qiyou handed the fish to Xia Xiaohui.
After Xia Xiaohui took it, he saw Yuan Qiyou pack up the firewood he had just picked up, which he had originally planned to use to make a fire at night.
After raising the fire, Yuan Qiyou made two more supports and roasted the fish on it.
"Did you learn this when you were in the army before?" Xia Xiaohui asked.
"Hmm. When I was in the army, I had to go on a mission, and in the deep mountains and old forests, I had to eat the things I brought, so I had to use local materials. It's good to be able to eat fish, snakes, rabbits and other animals, but sometimes you can't find something to eat, so you have to eat rats and insects. Yuan Qiyou said calmly.
Xia Xiaohui was stunned.
She didn't expect Yuan Qiyou to have such an experience.
She always thought that with Yuan Qiyou's status, she must have preferential treatment when she went to the army, but she didn't expect it......
"Didn't you expect to eat those things too?" Yuan Qiyou seemed to know her surprise, raised her eyebrows, and had a faint smile on her lips.
"Yes."
"Although I have a good family background, but when I go to the army, especially the special forces, I am no different from other soldiers, I have to be trained, I have to endure a lot of hardships, and sometimes I even have to do better than others." Yuan Qiyou said this, looking very calm.
Xia Xiaohui was thoughtful.
She somewhat understood what Yuan Qiyou said was about doing better than others.
He is the only seedling of the Fu family, the successor, since he joined the army, he may not know him or his parents, if he does not perform better, it will inevitably weaken his own prestige, so he can be better than others, in addition to his own intelligence, and his own efforts are also inseparable.
I felt a little sorry for him in my heart.
really responded to that sentence, what position of the person, he has to bear the responsibility he should bear, outsiders only see that he is rich, is the chairman, but never thought that he gave up his favorite military career, went home to pick up the burden.
"Why don't you speak?" Yuan Qiyou was turning the fish over and roasting, and asked without looking back.
"It's nothing, it's just that the fragrance wafts out, and it's a little sultry." Xia Xiaohui opened her eyes and said nonsense.
"Little gluttonous cat, you can eat it in a while, bear with it." Yuan Qiyou's voice smiled.
When the fish was almost roasted, Yuan Qiyou turned out the seasoning from the bag, salt, monosodium glutamate and pepper, all of which were available.
Xia Xiaohui was a little speechless, she really didn't expect that Yuan Qiyou had everything in this bag.
After sprinkling the seasoning, Yuan Qiyou took out the prepared disposable tin foil and spread it on the ground, put the fish on it, and took out a pair of chopsticks for Xia Xiaohui.
"Look, try it and see what it tastes like."
Xia Xiaohui didn't care how Yuan Qiyou stuffed so many things, she put a chopstick fish in her mouth, the fish was still a little hot, Xia Xiaohui was scalded, but the deliciousness on the tip of her tongue made her reluctant to spit it out, and she was snorting and snorting.
Yuan Qiyou smiled and handed her water: "I usually don't see you coming in such a hurry." ”
Xia Xiaohui ignored him, and after taking the water in his mouth to eliminate the slightly hot feeling on his tongue, he spit out the water.
The tongue is a little numb, but it does not affect eating, and it is not serious.
Yuan Qiyou caught a total of three fish, in order to ensure the taste, they were all grilled separately, Xia Xiaohui ate two bites by himself, and began to feed Yuan Qiyou.
"You eat, there are two more here, if you want to eat them all, I'll catch them." Yuan Qiyou paid attention to the fire and said.
Xia Xiaohui stubbornly fed the fish meat to Yuan Qiyou's mouth.
Yuan Qiyou opened his mouth to answer, his eyes were full of warmth.
After eating, Xia Xiaohui looked at the time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Yuan Qiyou set up the tent, and the two planned to rest and get up again.
Maybe it was the things that hinted in his heart that he couldn't do it were exposed, so Xia Xiaohui, who had shared the bed with Yuan Qiyou for a while, wanted to sleep in the same tent with him at this time, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart.
She stood outside the tent, looking a little hesitant. “
Yuan Qiyou set up the tent, and after packing up the things, he opened the curtain and looked at Xia Xiaohui who was standing at the door.
"Why don't you come in and rest? Not tired? Yuan Qiyou asked casually.
He knew that Xia Xiaohui must have an idea in his heart, but at this time, he would not show any abnormality.
"No, it's not that you haven't come out yet, I'm waiting for you to get it done." Xia Xiaohui bent her eyebrows and said.
She knew in her heart that it was not the first day they had been together, and if Yuan Qiyou really wanted to do something to herself, there would be countless opportunities at home, and there was no need to wait until now, in a place like the suburbs.
Yuan Qi Youhe...... is to respect her, to tolerate her, she believes that as long as she is unwilling, Yuan Qiyou will not force her, but she can't pass that hurdle by herself.
"It's already, come in." Yuan Qiyou stepped aside and let Xia Xiaohui enter the tent.
Although the tent was large, Yuan Qiyou was also set up neatly and perfectly, but after all, there were two people stuffed, and the space was relatively narrow, so Xia Xiaohui sat a little uncomfortably.
"You rest first, don't run around, I'll go out and look around, after all, it's in the mountains, it's always good to be careful." Yuan Qiyou whispered, and then came out of the tent.
After he left, Xia Xiaohui's heart suddenly relaxed, and he let out a long breath of turbidity.
Although Yuan Qiyou didn't say anything, didn't do anything, and didn't hint or express anything, she was always a little afraid of him in her heart, of course, more embarrassed.
Otherwise, how can you say that people's pressure is actually caused by themselves, if Xia Xiaohui can be more comfortable, she won't worry about those problems at all.
Not long after Yuan Qiyou left, Xia Xiaohui lay in the tent that had been laid out and fell asleep in a daze.
After all, I climbed the mountain all morning today, and then I was frightened by the creek, and I needed to rest both physically and mentally.
After Yuan Qiyou left the tent, he really walked into the distance.
He said that looking around, not only to alleviate the embarrassment of the two, but also to really check around as he said, after all, safety is the main thing outside.
Yuan Qiyou set up a trap a kilometer away from the periphery of the tent, advancing layer by layer, as long as someone or animal tries to get close, he will be the first to notice, this is a habit he has developed in the army, and now on the mountain, there is a helpless Xia Xiaohui by his side, he naturally has to be cautious.
After setting up the trap, when Yuan Qiyou returned to the tent, Xia Xiaohui had already fallen asleep.
She curled up quietly in a small ball, like a child longing for a hug, and it is said that this sleeping position is the most common posture that insecure people show in their sleep.
Yuan Qiyou reached out and stroked the hair on her forehead behind her ears, and then lay down behind her lightly, hugged her whole person in her arms in her posture, and slowly fell asleep against her.
The setting sun sprinkled the last of its light on the mountain peaks, and swept obliquely over the place where the two were camped, crossing a layer of warm yellow color.
Yuan Qiyou, who was originally sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and looked out through the tent.
The trap he set was overturned.
So is it a man or a beast?
Yuan Qiyou was puzzled, did not alarm Xia Xiaohui, carefully got up and left the tent, and quietly walked towards the place where the movement came.
After a while, he came to the place where he had set the trap.
When I saw someone over there from a distance, my heart sank.
The sound of a conversation between the two could be heard faintly in the wind.
"Why are you so careless? I stepped on the trap. "One of the people on the edge of the trap was treating another person's injuries, complaining softly.
"Who knew that there were such traps in this deep mountain and old forest." Said the injured man.
"It's a bit of an accident, but it's not ruled out that someone likes to hunt and got this thing."
Yuan Qiyou listened, and his heart sank.
The traps are all made of local materials and made into simple traps for hunting animals, but the origin of the two people in front of them does not seem to be so simple.
"You said it wouldn't be the target, right?" The wounded man suddenly remembered something and said.
"No, can he know that we are coming to arrest him?" The other was taken aback.
Yuan Qiyou's heart sank, was it really for him!
"Who knows! You said that the above is also the real situation, what do you do with catching a special forces who has been retired for ten years? Besides, there is still the Fu Group behind him! If something happens to him, won't the entire Fu family be in chaos at that time? Or do you want Fu Shi from above, so let us do this? ”
"Who knows what the top is thinking, let's just take the money to do things, your feet are fine, right? Do you want me...... What are you doing with your eyes so wide? The man asked strangely, as he spoke.
Before the injured man could say a word of caution, the uninjured man had already fallen limply.
Yuan Qiyou didn't care about the person who fell to the ground, and directly put a dagger on the neck of the injured person, and said coldly: "Say, is your target me?" Who sent you? ”
"I don't know anything." The man's face changed and he said.
Yuan Qiyou saw that he looked like he was going to die, and the look in his eyes was cold.
He wasn't worried about it himself, but he had to consider that there was still Xia Xiaohui to take care of.
With a slight force on his hand, a cut was suddenly made on the man's neck, and blood suddenly gushed out.
"Say, how many of you came, where are they now, and how can you contact them? Don't take chances and think that I won't kill you, you should know that killing people is not a difficult thing for people like me. Yuan Qiyou warned coldly.
The man's face changed suddenly, and Yuan Qiyou's words obviously poked at his sore feet.
Those who do their work know very well in their hearts that modern society is not as beautiful as it seems, killing people or something, there have always existed, there are people like them who do business in secret, and there are also special forces who hide in the dark to carry out tasks in order to maintain national tranquility.
It's just that they have consciously moved everything to the dark, so they maintain the apparent tranquility.
If he really didn't say it, Yuan Qiyou might really kill him.
Thinking about it, he whispered: "There are eight of us together, two in a group, divided into four directions to outflank and find your traces, and the higher authorities only ordered to bring you back alive, but did not say why. ”
Yuan Qiyou asked a few more questions, some of which the person could answer, and some couldn't, and finally Yuan Qiyou made sure that he couldn't ask any news, so he knocked the person unconscious.
Looking at the two people who fell to the ground in front of him with a calm face, Yuan Qiyou moved very quickly to block the mouths of both of them, then tied them up, and hid them in a nearby secret place, and then quickly rushed towards the camp.
Now that someone on the mountain wants to arrest him, it is very dangerous to put Xia Xiaohui there alone! “
The mountains and forests shrouded in twilight are very silent except for the sound of smart birds, and after listening to these sounds for a long time, my heart will be a little hairy.
Xia Xiaohui was so tired that she didn't wake up after sleeping all afternoon, however, she was woken up by a violent pull.
"Yunqing, what are you doing......" Xia Xiaohui complained and opened her eyes, only to see two strange men appear in front of her.
One of the men dragged her out of the tent by the hand.
It wasn't Yuan Qiyou in front of her, she said how could she be so rude to her!
"Who are you?" Xia Xiaohui asked with a frown.
The sudden appearance of two strangers in front of her made her feel a little flustered, and she subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
"Where did Yuan Qiyou go?" The other party did not reply, but asked viciously.
Xia Xiaohui suppressed the panic in her heart and said calmly: "I don't know, you also saw it, I fell asleep!" ”
The two glanced at each other, and one of them said, "Could it be that Yuan Qiyou received the news, so he left this woman and ran away?" ”
"Possibly." The other person nodded, and shook his head slowly, "No, this is his woman, he shouldn't leave her and run away and leave alone, maybe he left for something!" ”
"What can happen in this barren mountain and wilderness, and it is not in the urban area. Besides, every time he comes to camp in the mountains, he will cut off all contact with the outside world, how can he know something! We didn't show our stuffing outside. ”
The two were muttering and talking, but Xia Xiaohui's mind turned.
She heard that the other party's target was Yuan Qiyou, not her, and she felt a little relieved. At this time, Yuan Qiyou is not here, which means that he is safe.
At the same time, she was also worried that the other party would use her as bait to lure Yuan Qiyou into being fooled.
Xia Xiaohui remained silent, hoping that the two would forget about her.
However, it backfired, and the eyes of the two fell on her in unison.
"Look at what I'm doing, and I don't know where he's gone. Two big brothers, since he left me behind, it means that I am not important, you might as well let me go, so that I don't get in the way of your business. Xia Xiaohui said calmly.
"We're stupid." One of them said mockingly, tied Xia Xiaohui with a rope, gagged her by the way, and pushed her back into the tent, one of them hid in the tent with her, while the other was ambushed in the grass on the side.
Cold sweat broke out in Xia Xiaohui's palms, but she was tied up and couldn't move at all, Xia Xiaohui was very weak at this time.
Sometimes it's really not like you're calm enough or smart enough, like right now, isn't she calm? No, she was very calm, if it were another woman, she would have screamed a long time ago, angered the bandits, and had to suffer, but she didn't.
Isn't she smart? She thinks she's okay.
But in this case, her intelligence is not directly proportional to her skill at all, so what's the use of her being smart?
Xia Xiaohui now only hopes that Yuan Qiyou will not come back, and leave quickly, at least if he does not appear, there will be no danger, and they are still counting on her to lead him out, and she is safe for the time being.
As for what will happen to her after that...... She didn't want to think about it. If something bad really happened, maybe it was her life!
Reborn I, although he failed to take revenge, being able to meet Yuan Qiyou is also an additional gain.
When the sun had completely set, the forest was not completely dark, but it was gradually getting colder.
When Yuan Qiyou touched back to the camp, he was greeted by a cold silence.
If he hadn't seen those two people, he might not have felt anything, but now, he felt too quiet.
He quickly judged that the other party had come!
His heart tightened slightly, he was a little worried about Xia Xiaohui's situation!
Not immediately approaching, he cautiously moved around.
There must be someone ambushing around on the other side, but I don't know if there is only a team of people here, or if they have all already come.
If there is a team, he is somewhat sure, if there are many people......
A touch of perseverance flashed in Yuan Qiyou's eyes, even if there were many people, he would not give up, he had to rescue Xia Xiaohui, greedy for life and afraid of death, abandoning Xia Xiaohui was not something he Yuan Qiyou could do.
Moreover, Xia Xiaohui is very important to him, and he will never abandon her to protect himself.
The more critical the situation, the calmer Yuan Qiyou became, and with his quiet movement and familiarity with the terrain, he quickly found the person hiding in the grass.
Seeing that he was staring at the direction of the tent, he didn't notice that behind him, Yuan Qiyou was quietly approaching.
Yuan Qiyou quietly approached, and just as he was about to approach the man, he stepped on a dead branch under his feet, making a crisp click.
Yuan Qiyou's heart jumped, the secret way was not good, and sure enough, the person turned his head suddenly, Yuan Qiyou dodged and pounced, and directly knocked the person down with one punch.
The man slammed on the ground, dizzy and couldn't get up, Yuan Qiyou knew that the movement here must have been heard in the tent, they were in a group of two, and there was only this one person around, indicating that the other person must be in the tent, as for the other group, it should not have arrived yet.
Yuan Qiyou made a decision in his heart instantly.
He stepped forward and slammed several punches into the man's head, controlling the force to smash the man dizzy but not dead.
"Stop, if you move again, I'll kill her." Just as Yuan Qiyou raised his fist, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Yuan Qiyou was not surprised, he reached out and dragged the man on the ground up, blocked him in front of him, and grabbed the man and walked towards the tent.
I saw a person holding Xia Xiaohui who was tied up, and a knife was held around her neck.
Xia Xiaohui saw Yuan Qiyou appear, and shook his head slightly to signal him to leave quickly, his eyes were full of worry.
