22. A creepy dog bark suddenly sounds

Xiang Hai tugged the corner of Lin Yilan's clothes, his finger secretly pointed to a pair of men and women on the plank road, leaned into Lin Yilan's ear and said softly: "This pair may not be successful, you look at the woman, absent-minded, there must be someone in her heart." ”

Lin Yilan looked in the direction he pointed, the girl stared at the lake expressionlessly, and the man diligently held up the parasol in his hand to shield the girl from the sun. The girl politely stepped back, not knowing what to say to the man, and the man put down the parasol a little embarrassed.

"I looked at the man as if there was someone else. Although he looked at the girl with a smile, it always seemed like he was plotting something, and if I saw these two people on the street, I would think that the man was looking for a woman to borrow money. ”

Xiang Hai stared at Lin Yilan like a ghost, and before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a sharp voice: "Ouch - isn't this a new neighbor?" ”

Lin Yilan and Xiang Hai turned around together, and saw that the eldest sister who had chatted with the two of them was walking towards them with a handful of melon seeds, followed by several middle-aged men and women, all of whom looked up and down on the ground with a scrutiny on their faces.

Lin Yilan smiled politely at her. Xiang Hai also smiled faintly: "Eldest sister is you, you also come to visit?" ”

"Oh, doesn't that mean there are a lot of young men and women here? My son and daughter are here, can I, the mother, not come? The eldest sister smiled helplessly, "Are you two also here for a blind date?" I think, you two don't want to get along, you belong to my daughter, how about he to my son? After laughing, Lin Yilan and Xiang Hai looked at each other.

However, several middle-aged men and women around the eldest sister laughed together. A middle-aged woman said in a long tone: "Ouch, what you think is beautiful, the young man is a rich man at first glance, can he take a fancy to us countrymen?" ”

The eldest sister was not happy when she heard this, and her face instantly became stiff: "What's wrong with being rich?" Money isn't earned by people, right? If it weren't for the pervert who pulled their family before, would their family be rich? ”

The middle-aged woman looked disdainful: "No matter how much you grit your teeth, no one else will pull you." She pursed her lips and began to look Lin Yilan up and down.

The tip of Xiang Hai's tongue swept between his teeth, and he smiled indifferently: "This eldest sister, since you know that my family is the one who pulled it up, are you not afraid that I will be the same as that one?" This is contagious, so you better stay away from me, lest you get home and infect your own children. ”

The eldest sister and a few middle-aged people around her, their faces changed slightly, and some people had quietly retreated. Xiang Hai laughed, the eldest sister's face was very ugly, and she coughed dryly: "Don't think I'm uneducated, I asked about that disease, it's not contagious, it's innate!" ”

Xiang Hai smiled slightly in the sun, his body was like a layer of brilliance, gentle and dazzling: "That's right, that's not contagious." However, people who look down on those people on the one hand, and want to use those people to make money on the other hand, this distorted disease of human nature is contagious. ”

His words were not heavy, but they made the faces of several middle-aged people red and white. The eldest sister secretly exerted some strength, as if she was about to open her mouth to refute something, but she didn't know what she thought of, and finally secretly retreated without saying anything.

The smile on Xiang Hai's face slowly faded, revealing stiff and serious lines. He lay on the railing in silence and stared at the small fish in the lake, and after a long time, sighed deeply. Lin Yilan's hand was raised and raised, and he finally mustered up the courage to tug at his sleeve.

"I don't know exactly what's going on, but the man you respect must be a dustless gentleman."

Xiang Hai looked at her with a little surprise, the coldness in his eyes was gradually warmed by the sunlight, and the small brown lake rippled again, which was more brilliant and charming than the peach blossoms in this spring.

The two walked around the peach grove again and returned to the ancient building where they dined. I found a compartment by the window again and sat silently, until the waiter came to urge, and then hurriedly ordered a cup of tea to break the silence.

Xiang Hai took a sip of tea, stared at his white fingertips for a long time, and suddenly raised his head and asked: "If your relatives, the people you respect very much, everyone says that he is homosexual, do you ...... What will be done? ”

Lin Yilan drank water, and at this moment, she didn't know if she was in a dream or in reality. In order to determine this answer, she stretched out her hand to the person in front of her, and only when her fingertips touched the soft and slender eyelashes did she retract her hand like an electric shock, feeling a little panicked.

"What's wrong? You can tell me anything, it's fine. Even if you want to touch my eyelashes, I can touch them for you. ”

Lin Yilan stared at Xiang Hai, half jokingly and half seriously. She saw herself with shame on her face in the other party's smiling eyes. I was in a panic again, and I always felt that I was a little abnormal when facing these things. She didn't know what she should do, and it seemed that what to do was not in line with common sense.

What would a normal person do? She stole a glance at the people next to her. It was a girl with a blushing face, she was looking at the man opposite, the man didn't know what to say, the girl covered her face shyly, puffed out her mouth and shook her shoulders and said: "I hate it, people don't think like that!" ”

Lin Yilan rehearsed the "scriptures" in his mind, arranged some of the movements and expressions he was going to make, and secretly glanced at the person opposite.

Take a deep breath –

Xiang Hai looked at the big eyes of the person opposite him looking at him with grievances, and he didn't know why his mouth was bulging again, and his shoulders were dangling, as if he was ...... Coquetry?

"I hate it, people don't think like that!"

He took a sip of tea, bent down under the table and coughed wildly, and sat up firmly with red eyes in the middle of the day. Lin Yilan's shoulders, which were even more shaken by the wind and shook by the peach blossoms, suddenly stopped shaking, and the reaction of the person on the other side had clearly told her to stop being stupid. She wants to go straight under the table, or beat Xiang Hai to the point of amnesia with a stick?

Xiang Hai almost pounded the table and laughed, in order to maintain his demeanor, he could only cough dryly, and forced himself to straighten his face: "It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't matter, I accidentally choked on it." ”

He saw the eyelashes of the person opposite blinking wildly, and knew that she was beginning to doubt herself again, so he patted the table lightly and said with a smile: "Okay, then you tell me what you think." ”

Lin Yilan's hand hidden under the table quickly pulled out a hole in her shirt, and she secretly looked at the man and woman at the next table, and the two had already settled out and left. She tugged at her shirt again in annoyance, and she heard Xiang Hai laugh deeply. There was not a hint of sarcasm in his laughter, and she was so happy that bubbles were contagious, and she snickered along with her.

When the waiter came in to refresh the tea, he saw the two of them looking at each other like idiots and smiling silly. The waiter finished filling the tea in this strange situation, and he laughed in a daze.

When the waiter retreated, Lin Yilan finally knocked on the door after gathering the courage for a long time. She chose to speak when Xiang Hai looked very kind: "Regarding the question you asked me, I think that as long as he does not endanger society and the people, he does not use to deceive others to achieve his own interests. So what's the truth? What does it have to do with others? ”

Xiang Hai looked at her and nodded with a faint smile, "That's what you said." ”

Lin Yilan saw that he recognized his statement, and just breathed a sigh of relief, and the person opposite answered: "It turns out that you don't want to touch my eyelashes!" I thought I was very attractive......"

Lin Yilan glared angrily: "What did you say?" ”

Xiang Hai hurriedly drank water, and his eyes floated outside the bamboo curtain. At this time, the sun was already setting, and the two had not returned home for almost a day. Hurry up and call the waiter, check out, and pick up the painting.

The oil painting had actually been dried, and in order to prevent someone from seeing the content of the painting, Xiang Hai put a cloth on his head very despicably before handing over the painting to Lin Yilan, which made Lin Yilan's curiosity soar. Several times he had secretly lifted a corner, and in hindrance of the condemnation of his conscience, he put down his fingers that were about to move.

There are still no fewer people in the peach orchard. The warm yellow light strip wrapped around the peach tree has competed with the sunset, and the pink petals have been dyed with the orange red of the sunset and the warm yellow of the light strip, which looks more and more magnificent and wonderful.

The two of them were mainly in a hurry, bypassing the main road with the most people and shuttling on the path with fewer people. Xiang Hai led the way in front, and gradually slowed down as he walked, and Lin Yilan, who was in a hurry, almost hit his back, looking at him inexplicably, not understanding what he was doing.

Xiang Hai stared at a small wooden house, turned around and put down the painting box, and winked mysteriously at Lin Yilan. Regardless of whether people understood his hints or not, he bent his waist and went to the small house.

Lin Yilan looked around at the few people, and the nearest lights were 20 meters away. Looking at Xiang Hai's sneaky back again, an ominous premonition rose in her heart, and at the same time, she had already picked up the painting box.

Sure enoughβ€”

A few seconds later, a creepy dog bark rang out. Lin Yilan was so frightened that she was so frightened that she saw Xiang Hai running towards this side with a dirty face, shouting as she ran: "Don't let it bite you, run-" Lin Yilan stayed in place for a second, turned his head and ran to a place with lights.

The two were so frightened that they rushed onto the road and ran straight out of the Taoyuan gate before stopping on the side of the road panting like cattle.

Lin Yilan's heart jumped wildly, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the gate of the peach orchard, for fear that a fierce big dog would burst out of it. Xiang Hai's eyes were also firmly fixed on the door, and he was still reminiscing about the dog he had just seen, but his face was not afraid but expectant. Although the barking of the dog was still in my ears, I did not see the Lord Roaring Sky Dog personally descend to earth.

While Lin Yilan was engrossed in guarding the gate, Xiang Hai secretly shook off the food scraps in his pocket. He reached out and took the picture box in her hand, found the bicycle, and the two of them took advantage of the sunset for a long time, and walked on the orange ribbon road home.

In the evening, Xiang Hai got his wish and ate braised prawns and tomato fish, and after eating two bowls of rice in a row, he touched his round belly and leaned back on the sofa and smirked contentedly. Lin Yilan pitifully picked up a bowl full of green vegetables, and secretly stared at the two plates of meat dishes opposite that only had soup left.

Xiang Hai was very understanding, helped his round belly to get up, and pointed upstairs: "I'll go up and play the piano for a while, and you can clean up below." ”

Lin Yilan was hungry for the soup of meat vegetables opposite, and almost applauded him to send him upstairs. Xianghai climbed the stairs, and as soon as he turned, he listened to the sound of the bowl on the coffee table, and then heard the sound of chopsticks quickly moving on the plate.

He burst out laughing, pursed his lips and coughed dryly, and continued to climb the stairs.

Lock the door to the study. As is customary, find the key, open the lock of the drawer, take out two diaries, spread them out, and record them.
