Chapter 174 Much Ado About Nothing
The teenagers who returned with a full load carried the pheasants out of the mountains and forests with wooden sticks, and happened to meet two girls from the same school who went into the mountains to pick mushrooms, they picked two large baskets of wild mushrooms and fungus, and the mushroom stewed pheasants were no better, and the teenagers simply returned together as companions.
Most of the hills in Australia are not high, and this mountain forest is more than 100 meters high, and it is only a few miles away from the third affiliated middle school.
Li Xuanzhu and Bai Fan diligently took the bamboo basket full of mushrooms from the girls of the same school, picked it on the wooden stick and walked all the way back.
Although the teenagers are in the same school, there is a clear distinction between boys and girls, and there is no chance to get close.
In the wild, the young men and women chatted quite speculatively, and when they asked, they found out that one of these two handsome girls was named Wu Amei and the other was Zhu Qiaoer, both of whom were affiliated to the top ten teams of the third middle school, and they happened to take advantage of the weekend break to pick some mushrooms.
The boys, men and women, who were talking and laughing, were walking very fast, and now they had come to a winding stream, and the red roof of the school auditorium could be seen in the distance, and the distance was quite close.
"Lao He, we're tired from walking, not to mention that we still have so many things on our shoulders, why don't you find a place to sit down and rest!" Li Xuanzhu privately glanced at He Jiaben.
Hou Desheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this; "Are you tired of this little road? It's okay for me to walk dozens of miles away with a burden in my hometown in southern Guangdong, or you can put the mushroom basket here and I'll carry it alone. ”
"It's not good." Li Xuanzhu's face drooped.
"It's okay, I was 11 years old and carried work on the dock, at that time I could carry two sacks of 100 pounds of skinny, and now I have no problem carrying 5." Hou Desheng was stout, and in order to prove that what he said was true, he ostentatiously bent his arms to show off his muscles.
"Wow, that's really strong, your arms are thicker than our calves." Wu Amei screamed in surprise.
And that's not all
Wu Amei gestured with her slender hands to her calves, and then gestured to Hou Desheng's thick arms, and screamed as if she had discovered a new continent; "Hey, he's got a rough arm."
Zhu Qiao'er, who was more beautiful, was silent and not as lively as Wu Amei, just standing behind her eating and laughing, with a shy flush on her face.
Yes, the limelight was stolen by this stupid donkey.
Li Xuanzhu and Bai Fan met their eyes speechlessly, and there was a feeling in his heart that he wanted to run away.
Love to show is the nature of young people, and the two of them belong to the ignorant teenagers who awaken relatively early, otherwise they would not take the initiative to be courteous.
Hou Desheng is a late development, and he doesn't have this string in his head at all, pig teammates!
"I'm sweating from my body this time, and I'm a little tired, so I'm not in a hurry anyway, or I'll put down my things and rest, just by the creek I can wash the mushrooms and the pheasants are cleaned." He Jiaben understood Li Xuanzhu's intentions.
It's just a rare opportunity, and if you want to spend more time with two girls, even if it's a good talk.
The others really didn't have any ideas, so He Jiaben threw out Wang Zhan; "Zhuzhu, didn't you bring fine salt, we just made a chicken here, stuffed mushrooms and black fungus into the belly of the chicken and roasted together, that taste...... Tut-tut......"
He Jiaben shook his head and slurped, as if he was reminiscing about the deliciousness of the roast chicken, not to mention the other three young accomplices, even the two girls couldn't help it.
"yes, yes, that's a great idea!" Wu Amei clapped happily, poked her arm at her companion, and asked; "Qiao'er, what do you think of this idea?"
"Hmm."
Zhu Qiao'er nodded a little shyly, and quickly glanced at the tall and thin He Jiaben, and a red cloud flew on her fair face.
This shy and timid look
In He Jiaben's eyes, it was no less than the huge earthquake of the evening drum and morning bell, and the heartstrings trembled violently for no reason...... was dialed.
The young men and women were happily busy, all of them were from hard backgrounds, and they were all good at work, humming songs, and getting things done briskly.
A bonfire was lit by the clear stream
Buried under the bonfire were two large pheasants wrapped in wet mud with leaves and stuffed with mushroom fungus, which were enough to feed six young men and women.
The remaining three chickens were also cleaned up, and the black fungus mushrooms were cleaned and put in the basket, ready to be taken back to honor the instructors and thank them for their continuous teachings.
Green grassy meadows
A roaring bonfire reflected the faces of the young men and women, who sat around the fire and hummed softly, and from time to time picked up small branches and threw themselves into the bonfire, and the babbling stream flowed beside the fire, and something called happiness flowed slowly.
Youth is like a song, and the years are like poetry.
At this time, there is no need to say anything, just stay quietly by the fire, and let the young heart burn with the campfire.
"Watt, what are you idiots doing? I couldn't believe my eyes. ”
An abrupt voice was heard, and the teenagers turned to look.
I saw three white men on horseback walking along the road, all wearing wide-brimmed cowboy hats and revolvers at their waists, which is a common dress in Australia.
The Caucasian man in front of him, with a yellow beard and a look of about his 30s, reined in his horse in front of the campfire and asked with his fingers. "God, are you all crazy?"
He Jiaben and his partners all stood up and said a little overwhelmed; "I'm sorry sir, I don't know what you mean, did we do something wrong?"
"Are you asking me?" The bearded white man pointed his finger at his chest, and said to his white companion with a somewhat amused expression; "Do you hear me, he calls me sir, these damned beggars dare to call me sir, I'll blow their heads with the butt of my gun, these dirty beggars, oh oh...... Oh...... There are also two yellow women here, and they look very good! ”
The bearded man stared at the two girls up and down with lewd eyes, his eyes fell on the girls' well-developed breasts, and he laughed maliciously.
His two white companions rode over, and surrounded the teenagers with the same ill intentions, staring at the young girl like hungry wolves, and their lustful eyes penetrated through the white neck, and could no longer be pulled out.
Wu Amei and Zhu Qiao'er felt the malice contained in their eyes, their faces changed miserably, and they hid behind the boys in fear.
The teenagers' English is not very good, He Jiaben can roughly hear that the other party seems to have bad intentions, and the anger in his heart rises secretly, and he stepped forward and stood in front of the two girls and said; "I don't know what's wrong with you, but please leave."
"Wow...... I heard you right, this damn beggar dared to tell me to leave. The bearded man turned over and got off the horse, walked up to He Jiaben with a big thorn and said;" You notable bastard, it's too late to get down on your knees and lick my riding boots and beg for forgiveness, or I'll roast you on the campfire. ”
As soon as these words came out, the teenagers finally understood that these three villains were looking for trouble out of nowhere.
The unarmed young man was hotly blooded, standing side by side next to He Jiaben with his chest, showing with his actions that he would never back down and protect the two weak girls.
"Hahaha...... McCart, I don't think it's good, do you need help? The slender white man sat on his horse, one hand in the saddle, and the other on his waist, teasingly.
Another white companion laughed and said; "It's frustrating, Mr. McCarter, these colony cockroaches have left you with nothing to do, should you go back to Belfast, that's where you should be."
"Shut up, Fake, I'll take care of all this." The bearded man named McCarter was provoked by the mocking tone of his companions, and suddenly pulled out the revolver at his waist, and the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against He Jiaben's head; "Get down on your knees, you damn pig, or I'll shoot you in the head."
"No...... Please don't do that. ”
Zhu Qiaoer, who had always been shy, somehow suddenly burst out with incomparable courage, rushed out and blocked He Jiaben with her petite body, her body trembled with extreme fear, and she still pleaded with both hands to protect He Jiaben; "Sir, he has no intention of offending you, please don't hurt him."
"Qiao'er......" He Jiaben shouted excitedly.
Facing the moment of life and death
Zhu Qiao'er suddenly stood up and deeply moved He Jiaben, and the original good feeling quickly sublimated, melting into a warm feeling like magma rushing.
Maybe he just stood up to protect the weak girl at the beginning, but at this moment, Zhu Qiaoer's beautiful shadow has been deeply engraved in her heart, and she will never forget it in this life and this life.
He Jiaben grabbed Zhu Qiao'er's tender little hand, slowly but firmly protected it behind him, and stared at McCarter with his eyes fixed and said; "Not far from here is our school, and if you commit murder here, the instructor will never let you go."
McCarter poked the barrel of the gun forward fiercely, reaching He Jiaben's head back, and his thumb snapped away the hammer; "Get out of the way of me, you little cockroaches, and now I order you to get down on your knees and beg for mercy, boy, or I won't hesitate to kill you."
On the occasion of death
The three companions around the He family themselves flinched, and out of fear in their hearts, they involuntarily distanced themselves from He Jiaben.
"Qiao'er, you and Wu Amei hurry up, go to the school to find the instructor to help, go and ......" He Jiaben's body didn't dare to move, he urged in Chinese.
"I ......"
"Go, I'll fight to the death to stop this villain."
He Jiaben's tone was irrefutable, Wu Amei and Zhu Qiao'er quickly met their eyes, turned around and ran in the direction of the school.
McCarter couldn't understand what was being said in Chinese, but when he saw the two beautiful girls turn around and run, he instantly understood everything.
Annoyed, he swung his revolver and smashed it on He Jiaben's head with the heavy hilt, and the blood exploded in an instant, and the red blood flowed out.
He Jiaben staggered and sat down on the ground, McCarter brandished the gun in his hand and scolded; "You two idiots, don't hurry up and get the little white rabbit back."
"Hey...... They can't run. The two white companions were ready to catch up as soon as they caught up with their horses.
At this moment, the two girls only ran out a dozen steps, and were stepping on the clear stream to cross the river, Wu Amei fell into the stream in a panic, Zhu Qiaoer hurriedly turned around and pulled her up, and ran forward in embarrassment.
At this time, the horses rode forward, and the two strong white men could easily catch them.
"Holy shit, Lao Tzu fought with you." He Jiaben, who was sitting on the grass, wiped the red blood on his head, and rushed up with red eyes to hug McCart, who turned around and was about to get on the horse, and immediately knocked McCart, who was caught off guard, to the ground.
The two rolled on the grass, and a crisp gunshot "snapped" pierced the quiet afternoon sky.
