Nov. 1, evening.

In the kitchen of Xue Yuantong's house, the incandescent lamp glowed with a pale yellow light, illuminating the entire room.

The wood in the stove next to it has not been completely extinguished, and as the remaining wood burns, there is an occasional "crackling" sound, a unique wood fragrance, mixed with the smoke in the earthen stove, exuding a faint natural smell.

Xue Chuchu picked up the bowl: "Do you have rice?" ”

Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong said at the same time: "Another bowl!" ”

Xue Chuchu stood up lightly, took the rice bowl with both hands, and with her movements, her hair fluttered gently, corresponding to her graceful posture, like a virtuous and virtuous little wife.

There were two dishes on the table, fried razor clams with green onion and ginger, a plate of eggplant with meat foam that goes well with rice, and a fried crispy dead dough cake in a steamed bun.

At this time, halfway through the meal, Xue Yuantong made the third bowl of pumpkin soup.

Jiang Ning stretched out his chopsticks and aimed at the razor clams on the plate.

The first time he ate razor clams, he remembers going to a coastal city where his parents worked in the fifth grade of primary school.

Most of the left-behind children in the central region are like him, who stay in their hometowns to study when they go to school, wait until the long vacation, and if they can, go to the place where their parents work, spend a month or two, and then come back to school.

Jiang Ning lives in the countryside, and there are not many places to sell seafood in the town, and things like razor clams are really rare.

However, there are many in coastal cities, and I remember that afternoon, he waited until his mother got off work and went to the vegetable market with her, and her mother bought some razor clams.

Like today, after stir-frying with green onion and ginger, Jiang Ning in childhood tasted it for the first time and fell in love with this spicy and fragrant taste.

It's a pity that after Jiang Ning came back from his parents, he didn't taste it after many years.

What you can't get when you are a child is easy to become an obsession or a feeling when you grow up.

For example, some foods, some people, some will be relieved, and some will be nostalgic.

Jiang Ning was about to clip a piece of razor clams, but unexpectedly, another pair of chopsticks came from the opposite side.

The pair of chopsticks met his chopsticks unexpectedly.

Xue Yuantong took the first step to peck at the razor clams at a faster speed, and Jiang Ning flicked the chopsticks and gently picked them on her chopsticks to bounce them away.

Xue Yuantong was not convinced, and used chopsticks to give weapons to fight Jiang Ning, and the crisp sound of "bang bang bang" was intertwined on the dinner table.

Xue Chuchu put the rice bowl of the two on the dining table, she watched the childish battle between the two, the corners of her lips rose slightly, and quietly outlined a gentle arc, as cold and sweet as a clear spring.

A few seconds later, the battle was decided, and Jiang Ning found an opportunity to clamp the razor clams.

At this moment, Xue Yuantong was in a hurry, she directly broke the rules, and reached out to snatch the fragrant razor clams from under Jiang Ning's chopsticks.

"Hee-hee!" Xue Yuantong was about to stuff it into her mouth, but suddenly Jiang Ning's wrist flicked, and she only saw a shadow.

Xue Yuantong hurriedly withdrew her hand and successfully filled her mouth, she showed off: "I'm still amazing!" ”

"No, I'm the best." Jiang Ning tastes the razor clams fried with green onion and ginger, the taste is very tender, fragrant and refreshing.

Xue Yuantong only found out at this time that she had only eaten the shells, and the meat inside had been stolen.

"Humph!" Xue Yuantong pouted.

Seeing that Jiang Ning ate so deliciously, she unwillingly shook the juice left in her fingers.

Xue Chuchu suddenly asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

This dish was fried by her, and the two of them fought like this, which made her heart warm.

Jiang Ning didn't praise the specific texture and taste, he only said: "When I was a child, my mother stir-fried the taste." ”

Xue Chuchu's smile bloomed shallowly, and even the last trace of coldness disappeared, leaving only the warm sweetness: "If you like it, I'll buy it again next week." ”

Xue Yuantong regained his strength, turned his grief and anger into appetite, and ate with his head bored.

Xue Chuchu didn't talk much when he ate, Jiang Ning didn't talk to her, he took a sip of the slightly sweet pumpkin soup, and the mobile phone in his pocket shook.

took out his mobile phone, and it was a message from Shao Shuangshuang:

"The food at the supply point during the marathon has been arranged, all prepared by our chefs, bringing together all kinds of special delicacies in Yuzhou, small crispy meat, fruit salad, cold cake, ice powder... Both. ”

Jiang Ning glanced at Tongtong, who was cooking, and replied to the message: "Hmm." ”

In addition, in order to make the competition smooth, I arranged a batch of battery cars as the official designated vehicles for the event, to assume the role of escort for the event, advocate green travel, and you can ride a bicycle in front of 10,000 runners for meals."

Jiang Ning: "I have a heart." ”

He hadn't paid attention to marathons, and he didn't expect this kind of cycling to lead the way.

Shao Shuangshuang asked again: "The finale food you prepared, that is, that... What time will it be delivered? My chef was on standby the whole time, and I also bought a few baby goats to roast whole sheep near the finish line. ”

Jiang Ning: "I'll go to Huqi Mountain in the early morning." ”

There paused for a minute and asked, "Is it dangerous?" ”

Jiang Ning: "You can't hurt me." ”

Shao Shuangshuang knew that he was extraordinary, and Jiang Ning was responsible for solving the troubles encountered in the international expansion of Evergreen Liquid, but she and him had already become a community of destiny, and she still cared: "You pay attention to safety." ”

At the dinner table, Xue Yuantong ate for a while and said, "Chu Chu, I'll take you to open your eyes tomorrow!" ”

"Marathon?"

"yes!"

Xue Chuchu: "I heard that it is very popular, and there are also students in our class discussing it. ”

This is the first time that Yuzhou has held a marathon, in previous years, people heard about the marathon, mostly in the big city, and now it is the first time to appear in their own city, of course, and there is an honor.

What's more, Evergreen Liquid gave a sky-high bonus, 660,000, and now the average price of housing prices in Yuzhou is only about three or four thousand, and the location is particularly good, but it is only five thousand, which is equivalent to a house and a car.

"Let's go eat something delicious, there are drinks, fruits, chocolate!" Xue Yuantong is looking forward to it.

Xue Chuchu looked at Tongtong's eager expression, as if returning to his childhood, when rural people got married in the past, they often liked to sprinkle candy to celebrate, Tongtong took her to grab candy, and every time he grabbed a lot of candy back.

If they meet a generous in-laws, they will even throw money into the air, which is their happiest moment.

Xue Chuchu hesitated: "The food is for the players, right?" ”

Xue Yuantong said proudly: "Jiang Ning applied for volunteers for us, and volunteers can eat." ”

"Snacks, chocolate, Red Bull drinks, and energy bars, haven't you eaten them? Hee-hee, it's all free! Xue Yuantong bewitched her.

Xue Chuchu: "Okay. ”

She agreed.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning decided to let Chu Chu ride a battery car with Tongtong and let them taste the food all the way.

As for himself, he will discuss it later, and he may choose to enter the hall to accompany him and break the wind resistance for Yang Sheng, after all, he said that he would cheer her up, if he only cares about eating, isn't it good?

Of course, it is also possible to become a volunteer.

……

Class 8 group chats are in full swing.

The marathon held in the city was the main topic of conversation tonight.

Class 8 was very lucky, after a confession, a small class, on the surface, actually won 5 places to participate in the marathon, namely: Shan Kaiquan, Zhang Chi, Yang Sheng, Tang Jing, Huang Yuzhu.

The five-person network is extended, covering nearly half of the classmates.

Meng Ziyun said that tomorrow she will cheer for her sister Tang Jing on the spot, and Cao Kun chooses to follow.

Shan Kaiquan attracted Guo Kunnan and others, not to mention Yang Sheng, the twins, Bai Yuxia, and even Dong Qingfeng all chose to go.

Xin Youling: "I wish you all the best in tomorrow's race and successfully enter the top 100." ”

Jiang Yanan asked: "Do you know how long it will take to be in the top 100 in half a marathon?" ”

Chen Qian replied: "Even if it is a small city, it will take at least one hour and 35 minutes to have the hope of being in the top 100." ”

"What's more, this time the prize money is huge, and there are definitely many professional runners in the 5,000 runners drawn later, and there is no shortage of international elites."

Guo Kunnan: "Brother Quan, how long is your 10-kilometer limit?" ”

Shan Kaiquan replied: "The limit has not been measured, and I ran for 43 minutes last time." ”

Guo Kunnan cheered for his good brothers, "10 kilometers 43 minutes, 20 kilometers 86 minutes, one hour and 26 minutes, it's stable!" ”

He opened the champagne in advance.

Chen Qian: "The half marathon is 21.0975 kilometers, and 10 kilometers is not the same as 20 kilometers, and the further back you go, the more tired you are. ”

Zhang Chi said: "I'm afraid of a bear, I'll be done with it, my physical fitness, is there a problem with taking the top 100?" ”

Duan Shigang: "It's still Brother Chi." ”

Pang Jiao spoke: "I really want to run a marathon, I heard that people can lose 5 pounds by running a marathon, if it weren't for me not getting a quota, I would definitely participate." ”

Wang Yanyan: "Oh, it's a pity, God won't let you lose weight, it's really annoying!" ”

Zhang Yifei: "People also want to participate, but they don't have that blessing!" ”

Chen Qian: "Correct, it's no problem that the whole horse can lose 5 pounds, but this race is a half marathon, so it's difficult to lose 5 pounds." ”

"In addition, even if you can't participate in the marathon, you can still run with you outside the run."

Wang Longlong said secretly: "Brother Qian is impulsive!" ”

Pang Jiao was really angry and replied: "I want you to take care of it!" ”

Zhang Yifei: "I want you to take care of it!" ”

Li Shengnan: "I want you to take care of it!" ”

Wang Yanyan: "How great you know!" ”

Chen Qian couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth.

Or Xin Youling came out to persuade: "Stop arguing!" ”

Pang Jiao: "What am I arguing about, isn't he meddling first?" ”

Wang Yanyan: "Yes, what's wrong with Jiaojiao?" You're a squad leader, why are you still pulling the shelf? ”

Li Shengnan: "Chen Qian is a good learner, it's amazing!" ”

Xin Youling wanted to ban a few people, but she knew that she couldn't abuse her power.

After venting her anger for a few words, Pang Jiao made a big statement in the class: "Sooner or later, I will be thin like a lightning bolt and blind your eyes." ”

Wang Yanyan: "Ah, Jiaojiao, you must be able to." ”

The other two golden flowers praised Pang Jiao's commendable spirit again and again.

Chen Qian didn't control his hands, he typed out a line of words: "Actually, there is a kind of lightning called ball lightning, commonly known as rolling mines." ”

After this sentence was issued, Ban Qun was silent for a moment.

Chen Qian closed his eyes: 'I will die without regret if I dedicate myself to defending the truth!' ’

The class group was completely messed up, and the abusive messages were frantically swiping the screen.

At this time, Jiang Ning received an invitation from Shan Kaiquan to join the group, from the [Marathon No. 4 Middle Group].

"You're a volunteer, come on." Shan Kaiquan said.

After clicking agree, Jiang Ning saw many acquaintances in the group.

Wu Yunzhi: "Wanqing, Zichen, I participated in the 1500-meter race at school in junior high school and won the ranking, so I will take you to run when the time comes." ”

Shang Wanqing: "But brother, if you take me away, will it delay your award, my sister doesn't want to bother you." ”

Many diving friends, seeing such greasy words, secretly vomited in their hearts, 'Where did you get the burning!' ’

Wu Yunzhi saw such a charming little girl coquettish in public, and his heart was secretly refreshed, he: "For me, the game is not as important as you." ”

On the other side of the screen, Shang Wanqing replied expressionlessly: "Oh, why are you so good, I'm so moved, people are so embarrassed~ I'm afraid of delaying you." ”

During her speech, many group members clicked into her QQ space, and Shang Wanqing's space was open to everyone, with many photos in it.

Shy, cute, blurry...

Originally, the person who thought she was burning changed her concept in an instant, where did she burn it, she was obviously cute!

For example, Tao Nian, a third-year high school sports student who once had a high jump final with Jiang Ning, jumped out and said, "Senior sister, you also participate in the marathon!" ”

Wu Yunzhi saw that the stunner belonging to him was accosted, and immediately said, "It's okay, Wanqing, you will run with me when the time comes." ”

……

November 2nd.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, everything was silent, the sky was a deep blue, the stars were dotted, and the moonlight sprinkled onto the fields, glowing with fluorescence.

Xue Yuantong next door fell asleep, and Xue Chuchu also fell asleep.

In the house where Jiang Ning was, the door suddenly opened without wind, and his figure appeared in the small courtyard.

With a flick of his hand, the pocket spirit boat swelled, and he jumped on the spirit boat and sailed towards Huqi Mountain.

In the early morning, the mountains and forests were dark, and there were clouds and mist.

In the woods, a herd of wild boars is foraging, their rough and thick appearance, gray hair covering their bodies, and short, thick limbs supporting their heavy bodies.

The adult wild boar led by the head has a pair of sharp fangs protruding from the head, and it is extremely ferocious.

The wild boar dragged its family to forage for food, moved freely in the mountains and forests, and used its fangs to dig for food underground.

A pair of small eyes flickered, always aware of the surrounding movements, and its ears were constantly swaying, as if to catch the sound.

In this case, Jiang Ning's figure appeared next to the big tree, and he didn't hide it.

Soon, the vigilant adult wild boar spotted Jiang Ning and let out a low hum, which was a warning.

At the same time, the boar's eyes became sharp, his gaze was full of anger, his body tensed, and his hair gradually stood up.

Jiang Ning picked a cub behind it, and he said, "Get away." ”

In the next second, the wild boar opened its thick legs and rushed wildly, and the ground made a heavy footstep sound, like a heavy hammer strike.

This kind of adult male wild boar of hundreds of pounds, almost no natural enemies, if you meet ordinary people, you only need two moves to kill, charge, sprint, you can knock people down at once, that fangs can cause devastating puncture damage.

Even with a gun in hand, it is difficult to kill a wild boar, and it takes several shots to kill a wild boar.

That's why there is an old saying among the people, one pig, two bears and three tigers.

Jiang Ning saw this scene and said silently: "Eat Lao Tzu and drink Lao Tzu, dare to do it?" ”

He grabbed it with his empty hand, and the invisible spiritual power slapped out awe-inspiringly.
