Mystery in the Mountains (4)
Mu Qingcheng was embarrassed to look at Cheng Lang and Xu Youran, so he watched Cheng Yijie's movements intently. After squatting for a long time, her legs were a little numb, she adjusted her posture slightly, glanced at her head, and was surprised to see Xu Qiaoling leaning on a bamboo, staring at Cheng Lang and Xu Youran in front of her. She stood for a moment, and then walked towards the lovers who had forgotten themselves.
Mu Qingcheng stood up nervously, she once doubted that Xu Qiaoling would make any amazing moves. However, she just walked up to them and said, "There are not enough people over there, and Cheng Lang needs to go over to help." ”
The two reluctantly parted. Cheng Lang remembered that he kissed Xu Qiaoling by mistake at noon, and his face was a little embarrassed. Xu Youran didn't care, holding Cheng Lang's arm with one hand and holding Xu Qiaoling's hand with the other. "Let's go."
Xu Qiaoling gently withdrew her hand. "You guys go first, I want to stay here for a while."
"Well, don't stay too long." Xu Youran smiled heartily and left with Cheng Lang.
Xu Qiaoling faced the mountain spring alone, the spring water was so clear that she could see the water rushing rapidly, stirring up countless swirls on the rocks. So many little blisters, struggling, bursting...... She remembered the many soap bubbles in the washbasin when she was doing the laundry at noon, and in each bubble there was her dream...... Standing there, she was stunned.
It wasn't until Cheng Yijie and Mu Qingcheng were about to leave that Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but call Xu Qiaoling, and she followed them back to the grass.
Cheng Lang put the peeled and washed roe de on the fire and began to grill. Next to her, Zhang Lizhen set up a cutting board with stones, where she was busy cutting meat and vegetables provided by the hotel kitchen. Mu Qingcheng wanted to go over to help, but Cheng Yijie took the lead and offered to do it for him.
"No need, this is supposed to be a woman's job, how can I let you come." Zhang Lizhen has always been a virtuous housewife.
"Just sit down and let me do what I can do." Cheng Yijie said confidently.
"Auntie, let him do what he wants, I want to see it too. There is mountain spring water in the bamboo forest in front of you, and you can go and wash your hands. Mu Qingcheng didn't see Cheng Yijie cooking, and he was curious about his craftsmanship.
Zhang Lizhen no longer insisted, gave the cutting board and knife to Cheng Yijie, and went into the bamboo forest to wash her hands.
Cheng Yijie cut the meat, and the knife looked relaxed, but there was no order, and he cut it into pieces at will.
Mu Qingcheng saw that he was definitely not good at going to the kitchen, no wonder he often needed Cheng Lang to serve dinner before, and reminded him not to be a rice worm. It's just that you can't cook, and you still act so confident. She asked funny, "You cut the meat so thickly, are you going to make braised pork?" ”
"No, make boiled pork slices." Cheng Yijie is still very confident, "Cut thicker to save time, everyone is hungry, the sooner the better." ”
Mu Qingcheng pushed him. "It's not about saving time, it's about wasting it. You should go and do other physical work, the meat is cut like this, I don't know how long it will be cooked before it is cooked, and even if it is cooked, it will be old and hard, and it will be difficult to eat. Give me the kitchen knife and I'll get it. ”
Cheng Yijie raised his head from the cutting board, frowned, put down the kitchen knife, and snorted unconvinced: "It's just a picnic, where is it so exquisite." ”
An interesting smile appeared on Mu Qingcheng's lips, she was subconsciously imitating Cheng Yijie, with a smile of three points of superiority and two points of scherzo.
Cheng Yijie went to help others chop wood and make a fire, and Mu Qingcheng skillfully re-cut the meat into thin slices, without enough seasoning, so he could only simplify because of ugliness. She puts the slices of meat in the pot one by one, and when the water boils, she takes them out after boiling twice, puts them in a soup bowl with green vegetables on the bottom, mixes them with bean paste, and then sprinkles chili powder and pepper on the side of the meat. She deliberately walked up to Cheng Yijie with chopsticks and asked him to try the pieces one by one. Cheng Yijie had just added firewood to another pot, but he refused to do it himself, sitting there and opening his mouth to her.
She snorted softly, but still used her chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of meat and put them in his mouth.
"How's it taste?" She asked, expectantly.
The corners of his mouth went up. "I can go to the hall and the kitchen, and my vision and taste are really good."
Mu Qingcheng was speechless and left with the bowl, she went to Zhang Lizhen and Yang Xirou again, and gave them the rest of the meat slices, and they all praised the meat slices for being delicious. Later, Mu Qingcheng went back to cook more slices of meat and distributed them to others, and Yang Xirou came over to help. When he was free, Mu Qingcheng asked Yang Xirou: "Do you like Cheng Lang?" ”
Yang Xirou was slightly stunned. "Why do you ask?"
"Even if it's all over the mountain, I don't want anything else." Mu Qingcheng learned the tone in which Yang Xirou spoke to Cheng Lang.
"You overheard it. To be honest, the act of him shooting Maple Leaf for me definitely made me a little excited. Yang Xirou didn't hide it, "I also admit that in the process of hunting in the mountains this time, I had a good impression of him, a big boy who is very sunny and energetic." However, there is no point, people already have girlfriends, and I can't rob them. You also know, because of my dad's affairs, I hate the kind of cheap woman who is the third son the most, how can I become that kind of woman myself. So, yes, there is no fate, alas-"
She let out a long sigh and said, "But if he breaks up with his girlfriend one day, you remember to inform me as soon as possible, if I was still single at that time, I don't mind taking the initiative to approach him, try to have a relationship with him." ”
Mu Qingcheng knew that Yang Xirou was a straightforward person, and since she said so, there was nothing to worry about. Xu Qiaoling is the hidden danger that should be worried, she subconsciously searched for Xu Qiaoling's figure, and saw her standing leaning against a tree, as far as her eyes could see, it was Cheng Lang and Xu Youran who were snuggling with roasted roe deer meat. She made up her mind that it was time to give Xu Youran a wake-up call.
Cheng Lang's shout came: "The meat is cooked!" If you want to eat barbecue, come here! "Cheng Lang's barbecue skills are also very good, the whole roe deer is roasted to be oily and shiny, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and the meat is beautiful and mellow. The crowd gathered around, he cut the roe deer meat, distributed it to everyone, and continued to barbecue other prey, and also changed tricks, barbecue cutlets, barbecue skewers, grilled chicken legs and chicken wings, etc., mouth-watering.
Everyone sat around the fire, eating with relish, and the fire burned so vigorously that everyone's face was red. Xu leisurely gnawed on the shiny roast chicken leg with relish, biting wildly, as if this was the best delicacy in the world, and at the same time did not forget to tease Cheng Lang beside him with his eyes, licked his lips, and silently told him that his kiss was more delicious than the food in front of him, Cheng Lang understood, and his eyes were full of hints when he looked at her.
This scene happened to be seen by Cheng Yijie, he turned his head to look at Mu Qingcheng, she was also eating chicken legs, but she looked very gentle, and her eyes fell on an unknown place, which was completely different from Xu Youran. "Give me a bite." He made a request.
Mu Qingcheng came back to his senses, turned over the chicken legs, and handed the meaty other side to his mouth.
Cheng Yijie opened his mouth and bit down hard, but he stopped and looked at her closely, his brown pupils, the fire was stirring, Mu Qingcheng watched his pupils engulf her, and felt that his body turned into nothingness and disappeared in the scorching firelight.
"Do you want to eat or not?" Her voice was soft and soft.
Cheng Yijie chuckled, and then he bit off the piece of meat, chewed it in his mouth and swallowed it.
"You should learn from Xu Youran." The fire in his eyes was still burning.
"What to study?" Mu Qingcheng was very confused.
"Learn how to please men and spice them up." Cheng Yijie's voice is low and attractive.
Mu Qingcheng wanted to glare at him to show his dissatisfaction, but a pair of watery eyes that were lit by the firelight were shining and dazzling.
"You're seducing me." Cheng Yijie leaned close to her, and was about to touch her lips. She was so frightened that she ducked. "In front of the public, how can you be so immoral!"
He smiled maliciously. "Then you owe it first, and then go back in the evening to make it up."
After a full meal, the fatigue of climbing and hunting in the afternoon was relieved.
Mu Qingcheng looked up at the night sky, the moon hung like a bow, hanging crookedly, and there were sparsely falling stars. Cheng Yijie sat beside her, with a certain thoughtful, focused look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
Mu Qingcheng's gaze fell from the sky back to Cheng Yijie, and he couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking?" ”
"Nothing." Cheng Yijie turned his face to stare at her, "You don't want to know why Yufei suspected that something had happened to Ni Yanlin." ”
Mu Qingcheng nodded, after hearing that Ni Yanlin was killed, she was even more concerned, but the two of them had been busy for dinner, and there was no suitable opportunity to ask him.
"Yufei didn't want to participate in hunting, but during dinner, Ni Yanlin sat next to Yufei and said something to her." Cheng Yijie said to her, "Ni Yanlin said that there may be corpses on the mountain, and I hope she, the policeman, can go up together to take a look and help keep an eye on the search." As for why Ni Yanlin said that, she said it was because a friend had disappeared not long ago, and she suspected that her friend had been killed and buried in the mountains here. It rained heavily for several days last month, and there is a risk that the bodies will be washed out. But it's just speculation, and there is no real evidence, and if the body is really found, she will tell her everything he knows. After the results were gathered, Ni Yanlin did not appear for a long time, and Yufei became more and more uneasy along the way. If you hadn't accidentally fallen, you wouldn't have found the white bones, maybe there was a providence in the dark. ”
"Do you think that white bone is Ni Yanlin's missing friend?" Mu Qingcheng felt incredulous, "However, she clearly said that her friend disappeared not long ago, how could the body turn into white bones so quickly." ”
"If you treat it with chemicals, you can quickly turn it into a white bone." Cheng Yijie made a discovery at that time, "According to my observations, the white bones were treated with chemicals. ”
Mu Qingcheng was stunned and asked, "Is there any connection between the discovery of Bai Gu and Ni Yanlin's murder?" ”
