Chapter 12: Distress

"Are you going back?" It's such a sentence that made me struggle in the nightmare, and then suddenly woke up and sat up and shouted: "Who! ”

But in the tent, all I could hear was the sound of the wind and the roar of the wild beasts in the mountains...... But my heart was beating "fluttering" and beating, and in front of my eyes, a faint black shadow disappeared!

As an aspiring young man who has received excellent nine-year compulsory education and is about to enter the university campus, let alone my high myopia, have I seen clearly? Although my grandmother kept forcing me to bow down to a painting and be my godfather. But in my heart, I still firmly believe in the correct path of materialism. Especially in the year "Animal World", in addition to the well-heard sentence "Spring is coming, the season of animals is here", I have also seen a lot of introductions to animals that are close to human behavior, such as raccoons, which is a guy who can run around with things. Therefore, I just thought that some small mountain animal was causing trouble, and without thinking too much, I ran outside the tent to see what was going on.

But when I climbed out of the tent, I found that it was still pitch black outside, and if it weren't for the moonlight, I really couldn't see my fingers. I looked left and right, and there wasn't even a ghost around. I subconsciously looked at my watch by moonlight and it was only 3:30 in the morning, and I laughed at myself: "What a bad luck! I wanted to turn around and go back to the tent to rest, after all, I had two nightmares that night, and I couldn't feel bad. All I hope is that I'll be able to get to dawn soon, then go home and take a hot shower, and ask my dad to get me a bowl of hot noodle soup with shredded pork and noodles.

If you want to talk about the hot noodle soup that my dad made, it's amazing. First of all, choose low-gluten flour and add an appropriate amount of alkaline noodles, then use cold water and noodles, and the water must be poured slowly, not too fast and not too much, until the flour can be kneaded into a smooth dough and wake up for fifteen minutes, and then roll it into translucent slices with a rolling pin, and then press it with a rolling pin after the dough becomes a thin sheet, and cut it into several strips with a knife along the rolling pin, and then overlap it and cut it again.

This is followed by soup. This soup is also particular, the north is cold and freezing, and the calories are naturally a little higher, so compared with the light soup in the south, the north is a little more oily. This is especially true in Inner Mongolia, where meat is cheaper than vegetables. First choose a piece of pork loin without fat and cut it into shredded pork, pat it with the back of the knife to make the meat loose a little, and then turn a little lard into the pot, put in the green onion and fry until fragrant, the green onion must be white with green onion, and it must also be Shandong green onion, because Shandong green onion is sweet, and Beijing green onion is a little spicy. After stir-frying the chopped green onions, pour the shredded tenderloin into it and stir-fry, and then add a little soybean soy sauce from the Northeast when the color of the meat turns white, and the meat flavor accompanied by the flavor of the sauce immediately stimulates the sense of smell. Then pour in an appropriate amount of hot water, remember to use hot water, if you use cold water, the taste of the meat and the taste of the meat will be destroyed, after the water boils, put the noodles prepared in advance and cook them, you must not forget to order three points: that is, every time you boil the pot, add a little cold water, a total of three times, so that the taste of the noodles will be stronger, in the cut a little shredded sauerkraut, the sauerkraut mentioned here is not the kind of snow fern in the south, or the sauerkraut accumulated in the northeast with Chinese cabbage, choose a sauerkraut that looks full and shiny to remove the cabbage, Leave the cabbage sum unfolded into slices, cut into shredded sauerkraut at an oblique angle of 45 degrees and pour it into the noodles, then add a little salt and pepper to cover the pot and simmer, and the tempting aroma of sauerkraut will come out after a while. If you like it, put a little seaweed and shrimp skin before the pot, the taste of the noodles is not only sour and delicious, but also the inherent seafood flavor of shrimp skin and seaweed is even more mouthwatering, taste a mouthful of hot noodles first, although you know that it is unhealthy but you just can't help it, after eating the first bite and then pour some Shanxi old vinegar, the moment the old vinegar is just poured out, you can feel the saliva swirling in the mouth, quickly mix it with chopsticks, the noodles will be a lot colder, if you can get a plate of sauce beef, the taste is not to mention, although it is not called eight treasures and jade food, You can eat it with relish, too.

Perhaps, many things in the world are like this, when you can easily get something, but you will feel too rare and ordinary, and you don't understand what it means to cherish it; When such a thing is clearly close at hand in your life, but it is far away, you understand how rare it is to "cherish the present". It's like this bowl of noodles, I haven't eaten it since I left my hometown that summer, and the old man is in good health, but he is reluctant to tell him every time, "Dad, bring us a bowl of hot noodle soup to eat." Every time he asked with concern, "Boy, what do you want to eat?", I only dared to say, "Everything." "Actually, it's not that you can do anything, it's just that you don't want to let the people who love you work for you anymore, that's how you grow up.

Let's move on to "at the time". At that time, my mind was full of this bowl of noodles, and I was "gurgling" in protest when I thought about it, which made me unintentionally sleep. In the mountains and forests, the humidity is relatively heavy, especially when a gust of wind makes people shiver, I tightened my clothes and looked up, and happened to see that there seemed to be someone outside the tent of the seven or eight people!

At first, I thought it was someone from the group of travelers, but suddenly it felt wrong! Although I'm a useless foodie, foodies have the benefits of foodies.

That is, the nose is easier to use than the average person, especially for people like me who can't live without glasses, the vision is extremely weak, but the nose is super long and functional. Although I couldn't see the situation clearly in the dark night, but a gust of wind blew, and I smelled a faint fragrance of flowers, which was different from the wild flowers in the mountains and forests.

"Could it be that Venna is outside the tent?" I had doubts in my heart and tiptoed over......

Finally, when I could see it, I saw two girls in blue and white school uniforms, one with long hair in a shawl, and starry eyes; A blonde with fried hair and tight eyebrows. These two people are not Wen Na and Xu Youyou, who else can they be?

The two of them crouched outside their tent with big beards, looking at each other face to face, as if they were talking, and as if they were eavesdropping, these two girls were too focused to notice me. So, I quietly stepped forward and patted Wen Na on the shoulder, but I never thought that I was almost a new person!

Wen Na was slapped by me, startled a spirit, and hurriedly shook her head to my side, and asked alertly: "Who!" ”

Although the sound was not loud, it was incomparably clear in the mountains and forests in the middle of the night. Wen Na was nervous and didn't tighten, Xu Youyou on the side actually pressed me to the ground with a thunderous ringing bell, and the raised fist was just about to fall, when I saw that I hurriedly turned my fist into a finger and put it between my mouth to make a "shhh" action, I motioned for her to quickly take her hand away.

Perhaps our movement was a little loud and alarmed the people in the tent, and immediately someone said, "Someone! This man has a strong Hunan accent.

Wen Na and Xu Youyou grabbed me and turned around and wanted to run! At this time, if you run, not to mention the speed, there are seven or eight people on the other side, and they are all adults, and it is too trivial to catch us. I don't have any other benefits as a person, but I watched a lot of TV when I was a child, and I also understand the importance of a skill. At a critical moment like this, there is usually a person on TV who stands up to learn cat meow, so I am in a hurry to learn to meow according to the gourd painting scoop "meow", not to mention that this trick is quite effective.

I only heard a man with a sharp voice inside, also in a Hunan accent and said coldly: "Where is there anyone? The cat is just calling spring, and it is a fuss. It seemed that he was lowering his voice to say something, but the voice was too low to be heard.

I made a gesture to Wen Na and Xu Youyou, telling them to leave with me first, it was too dangerous here. It doesn't matter who is inside, it is not good to eavesdrop on people behind their backs after all, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings. At the same time, I am very proud of the bravery and wit I have just shown in front of Wen Na, "A young man is so brave, and a girl is so beautiful" is human nature. After all, when love first opens, anyone wants to get the attention of the person they like, and I naturally do the same, especially before the separation. While I was still immersed in my performance, I didn't realize that the danger was approaching......

As soon as I, Wen Na and Xu Youyou got up and wanted to leave, we heard Wen Na's exclamation of "ah", which came from far away in the middle of the night. I hurriedly looked back and found two people standing in front of us, one of whom was a man with a scar on his face grabbing Venna's hair and looking at the three of us fiercely! I regretted it, apparently my "meowing" did not make them let their guard down, but we were deceived by them and did not have time to escape!

Seeing this scene, I didn't have time to react to the hero's rescue, but Xu Youyou on the side didn't give any explanation, and directly jumped up with a flying kick and kicked at the scarred face who grabbed Wen Na's hair. Because the speed of this kick was too fast, and because it was dark, it is estimated that Scarface didn't see it clearly and didn't expect that several teenagers in front of him dared to do it directly, so he was frightened, and hurriedly let go and quickly retreated and bumped into a man with a handkerchief and a mustache. Xu Youyou didn't dare to slack off, so he pulled Wen Na back to his side and protected him behind him, and scolded: "X's, who dares to do it!" He turned his head and shouted at me: "Zhimo, hurry up and call my brother and Zhang Peng!" "Distance the two sides by four or five paces.

I was stunned by Xu Youyou in front of me. I'll it, is this a woman! When I heard her call, I remembered that there were two people sleeping! I hurriedly shouted at my tent: "Xu Shuai, Zhang Peng! X's, don't sleep! After shouting a few times and not moving, I was forced to start exploding, but the result was still no movement!

Wen Na tugged at the placket of my shirt and said to me calmly, "Don't shout, look ahead." He pointed ahead with his white fingers.

I looked at it, and my heart suddenly cooled. Why?

Because Xu Shuai and Zhang Peng were like two little chicks, they were pinched by the necks and twisted by the arms of two people and carried in front of us, and the two of them kept scolding and scolding in their mouths. The mustachioed man, waving his handkerchief, stamped his feet and whispered, "Shut them up!" Shut up! ”

Without saying a word, Scarface used his right hand to put his right hand on their mouths, and Xu Shuai and Zhang Peng suddenly couldn't make a sound, so they could only babble and stare at them......

"Brother!" Xu Youyou saw the appearance of the two people, his eyes were already on fire, and he couldn't help but rush up and fly up again, kicking at the right side of Scarface.

Scarface was already ready to snort coldly, not retreating, but advancing, and at the right time, he raised his left hand and grabbed Xu Youyou's ankle with a "bang", and his right hand directly lifted Xu Youyou above his head from the bottom and threw it our side! Immediately after that, I felt like I had been hit by a heavy object, and my body leaned backwards at a speed that my brain did not react to, and I lay on the ground with a "plop", and my glasses fell off instantly, and I almost lost my breath.

Wen Na shouted in danger: "It's not good, run!" "Pulled me up with all his strength and Xu Youyou who was pressing on me.

After Xu Youyou got up, she wanted to rush up to save her brother and Zhang Peng, but she was grabbed by Wen Na and dragged back, so anxious that she could only cry "brother, brother", I tried hard to support my body to get up, picked up my glasses casually, and stumbled with Wen Na to run away without caring about the pain on my body.

"Damn, Scar, don't let them shout, kill them!" The mustachioed man pointed at us angrily with a handkerchief and stamped his feet.

Scarface rushed at us without saying a word, and it wouldn't be good if he caught us. Luckily, I grabbed a handful of sand on the ground when I was looking for my glasses just before I got up. To be honest, I don't know why I grabbed this handful of sand, but when I saw that Scarface was a step or two away from us, I didn't have time to think about throwing the sand out directly, and it was all in Scarface's face, mouth and eyes.

Scarface fell to the ground with a grunt. It was all in one go, and it wasn't until Scarface fell to the ground that his three companions reacted, and the mustache instructed the other two to rush up!

No matter! I learned from those martial arts masters on TV, raised my hand knife and smashed it at the back of Xu Youyou's neck, I thought that this time I could knock her unconscious, and then run away with her on my back. But I didn't expect that this time, she was not only fine, but turned her head and looked at me with teary eyes: "What are you doing!" ”

Oh my god! It's so beautiful, Xu Youyou's eyes are watery, her red little face is painful, and she looks very innocent when she sobs softly, if you dress up well, you can definitely get out of the ranks of "female nerves...... Well? What was I thinking, this is a terrible time! I shook my head vigorously and shouted at Venna, "Run!" Regardless of whether Xu Youyou agrees or not, I picked her up on my back, and started running with Wen Na, letting Xu Youyou kick and scold me on the back, I didn't pay attention to it. After all, saving life is a creature's first reaction when it encounters danger.

Thankfully, I practiced triathlon in high school, and the weight-bearing Riga trail run was not covered. At this time, it reflects the benefits of my participation in the sports team, "good women are not a hundred" is Xu Youyou's life dogma, her weight is not as good as the previous weight training in our school, you must know that our school has produced a lot of provincial athletes, that are all practiced, if it weren't for my parents who prefer me to take the route of Puwen Puli, I think I should still continue to skim the discus now.

Maybe it's because of the local area, even if the mountains and forests are big, they can adapt very much, even if they carry a big living person on their back, they can run faster than the few people behind. At first, we could hear them chasing us, but as we ran, there was no movement. Even so, we don't dare to stop and still run for our lives! I don't know how long I ran, but I heard the pheasants in the mountains crowing, and then a ray of light rose in the sky, and it was dawn.

At this moment, I was already exhausted, and I fell to the ground with a soft "clang" under my feet, and a dog gnawed on and ate a mouthful of sand, not to mention, and was cut by the stone on the ground and broke my chin, making the blood flow, and my poor glasses flew out again, smashed on a stone, and I was already prostrate and had no power to pick it up, so I could only lie on the ground and let the sweat flow.

Wen Na was also out of breath, and said intermittently: "No...... Not...... Things, right? ”

I waved my hand weakly, and pointed at Xu Youyou, who was lying on top of me and kept crying, and motioned to Wen Na to get her down, I was out of breath! Seeing this, Wen Na went to pull Xu Youyou, but Xu Youyou cried too fiercely to pull it at all, and finally Wen Na was pushed directly to the ground.

But she still kindly walked over and held Xu Youyou's shoulder and said, "Youyou, don't be sad, get up quickly, let's think about it, you ......"

"Get out of here!" Xu Youyou shook off Wen Na's hand and scolded her, "It's not because of you!" If you don't eavesdrop in the middle of the night, what's the matter! Now you're talking about it! ”

Wen Na, who said a few words, lowered her head and became sad, and was helplessly beaten off by Xu Youyou's hand, and then sat on the ground with her buttocks, holding her knees with her hands and sobbing softly.

I'm rubbing, what's going on! I can't cry if I co-author? Xu Youyou is a big living person even if she is light, and when I ran headlessly, she scratched a lot of wounds on her back, and when she sweated, it was like a salted wound, which was called a sour! I slapped Xu Youyou's leg twice, but she didn't stop crying. I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I propped my hands on the ground and pushed Xu Youyou down directly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I sat on the ground and picked up my glasses with a broken lens and put them on, but fortunately, the lenses were only cracked and not completely fell off, otherwise I would have been blind.

I gasped and looked at the two girls crying in front of me, a little overwhelmed. Honestly, this is the first time I've been in a situation since I was 18 years old, and I don't know what to do. Out of affection, I wanted to comfort Venna, after all, she was my goddess. But out of instinct, I sympathize with Xu Youyou more, a high school classmate for three years, she used to stand out for others, and I never saw her need the safety and protection of others, but now she is crying so sadly. Obviously, Xu Shuai's matter definitely made her more worried......

Forget it, let's comfort Xu Youyou first. Thinking of this, I was going to stand up, but I tried it or decided to give up, because my feet were sore from running just now, although I was wearing sneakers, but this mountain is full of stones, and I ran for so long and it was so bad that it was even more effective than that foot massage. Let's let it rest first, because it hurts too much. I slowly crawled over, patted Xu Youyou's shoulder and said, "Youyou, don't be sad, let's think about it together." ”

I originally thought that Xu Youyou would ignore me, but continued to cry for myself. Who knew that she first threw herself into my arms like a helpless child, crying non-stop. I thought that the smell of such a strong woman should be like some kind of animal, but I didn't expect that there was also a floral fragrance, if Wen Na was a faint lily fragrance, Xu Youyou's smell was like a red rose, rich but sincere......

I was thinking about it when I heard a "pop" and felt the left side of my face heat up. Only then did I come back to my senses, I covered my face and said angrily: "You are sick!" ”

"You have to take care of it!"

"I shouldn't have left you alone, I should have let them arrest you!"

"Let them arrest them, I can still know my brother's situation!"

"You've been caught, who's going to think of a way to save them!"

"Use you to pretend to be a wolf! If you hadn't made a sound, people would have found out! ”

"I ......"

Before I could finish speaking, Xu Youyou choked me with a straight sentence: "What am I!" You said that in the third year of high school, you met a gangster who was hiding or hiding, which time you were bullied and fought back! Then he turned his head to look at Wen Na: "And you!" What a goddess! It looks like the whole school has to revolve around you! I knew those people were in danger, but I had to go! "After that, no matter what Wen Na and I reacted to, she cried even more. It can really be described as sad for the hearer and sad for the listener!

As soon as these two sentences came out, I didn't say much, after all, she was telling the truth. Because I am the only child in the family, the discipline at home is strict, and I am not allowed to fight, I am not allowed to smoke and drink as a minor, and I am not allowed to break the law and discipline...... Of course, I am not allowed to roar when I see injustice. Therefore, in school, as long as I am not forced to be anxious, I am the group that can endure and hide, as for what "people want to face trees and bark", "people are a breath of Buddha for a stick of incense" bullshit truth, in the current popular phrase to describe it is "rain girl has no melon". No, it's "rain and snails have no melons".

Kevena is different. She is the kind of girl who is very strong, on the surface she looks like she has no quarrel with the world, but in fact she is very competitive. Take the exam as an example, you must get the first place in every exam. Once, her score was one point worse than the first place, and the moment she got the report card, she pretended to smile casually, looking very relaxed. But after class, I saw her hiding behind a tree alone and crying, and the ground was the roll that she tore, and when the class bell rang, she turned back into the best friend who listened carefully, all the teachers said that she was a good student, the goddess of school uniforms in the eyes of all boys, and all the girls who were envious but not jealous...... People like her will inevitably have a complex in their hearts, that is, "I am right at all times". The same is true of what is happening in front of us.

Regardless of the outcome, I think Venna's intentions are definitely good. Of course, this kind of thing itself is very dangerous, and people who have not been specially trained should not take risks, not to mention that a few of us are still high school students who have not yet entered the society? Therefore, she listened to Xu Youyou accuse her in front of me, so what's good? Just now, Wen Na was still sobbing softly, but she didn't look like a goddess with pear blossoms and rain, and buried her head in her knees and cried bitterly!

I'll it, what's going on! When is it, they still have the heart to cry! I looked around helplessly and found a problem, and a big one! casually said: "I'm X, where is this?" ”
