Chapter 81: Guests
Han Ying listened to her complain and just smiled.
Xu Mo was in the distance, and although the voices of the two of them were small, they heard it, and responded: "Part of the water at the source of the upstream head is seeping out of the cracks in the rocks, it is an excellent natural mineral water, clean and delicious, you can go there to get water." ”
"Oh my God, this guy has such a good ear, let's talk quietly, and he can hear it from such a distance. In front of him, don't whisper. Geng Yanli listened to Xu Mo's words, and was taken aback, with a look of disbelief on her face.
No wonder she was so surprised, knowing that the distance between Xu Mo and them was at least fifty or sixty meters, and she and Han Ying didn't talk loudly. This kind of thing, put on Xu Mo, of course, is just an ordinary trivial matter. But in the eyes of ordinary people, they can't help but be surprised.
"Yes, he has good ears. Han Ying smiled slightly, also feeling a little incredible, but she just praised it and didn't say anything.
Geng Yanli nodded and said, "Since there is still clean water available, forget it." The topic suddenly changed and said to Han Ying: "Sister Ying, let's set up the tent first, cook and eat, and then start looking for something like that, do you think?"
Han Ying smiled: "It's been so long, and I don't fight for such a while, I've been on the road for a long time, everyone is tired, after eating, rest first, it's not too late to find it tomorrow." ”
Geng Yanli said with a smile: "Sister Ying cherishes us, what else is there to say? If we change to other employers, we will inevitably urge us to do things." Okay, Sister Ying, you're wet, go change into clean clothes first, and then let's set up the tent together, after setting up the tent, I'll cook and let you taste my craft. ”
Han Ying answered, then walked into a half-built tent and went to change her clothes. Then he came out to help the two of them set up a tent.
Gong Lei and Geng Yanli are lovers and live in the same tent, so there are only two tents to build, plus the preliminary preparations have been done almost before discovering Xu Mo, and the tent was set up in a short time.
After setting up the tent, Gong Lei took out the army shovel and dug a stove near the tent, Han Ying and Geng Yanli carried a bucket and were about to go to the place Xu Mo said to receive water.
Xu Mo finished washing the filth on his body and came out of the lake, but he carried two carps more than a foot long in his hands, and the carp skewered their gills with the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, and they were still jumping vividly.
When Geng Yanli saw the carp in his hand, she was immediately overjoyed, and said loudly: "Don't let it go, wait for me to kill." ”
Gong Lei stopped what he was doing, raised his head, glanced at the two carps, and immediately praised: "It's amazing to catch it with your hands!"
Xu Mo smiled back, with his water nature, catching a fish under the water is a trivial matter, and he doesn't have to explain it to others to show off.
I only heard Gong Lei continue: "Xiaoli's cooking skills are good, just let her cook fish for us to eat..."
As soon as he said this, Geng Yanli suddenly interrupted him, and said unhappily: "Hey, hey, what is good cooking, I have clearly won a prize in the city's housewife cooking competition, right?"
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. Gong Lei seemed to be a little afraid of his wife, and when he heard her say this, he hurriedly apologized, and then changed his words: "Our Xiaoli is the second place in the city's housewife cooking competition." ”
Geng Yanli listened, and then her anger turned into joy.
Han Ying smiled: "Now I have a good mouth, let's try Xiaoli's craftsmanship." ”
Geng Yanli frowned, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the conditions are insufficient, and I can't show my means, so I have to use it to steam, Sister Ying, is your taste light or heavy?"
Han Ying smiled and said: "I'm good at everything, you can do what you think you want to do, don't take care of me." ”
Gong Lei put down the marching shovel, handed a set of old clothes and a pair of shoes to Xu Mo, and continued: "Man, you have changed your clothes, come and help me dig the stove? ”
"Yes. Xu Mo agreed, took his clothes and shoes in his hand, and planned to find a hidden place to change his clothes.
"Wait!" Han Ying suddenly stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Xu Mo turned his head and looked at her puzzled.
Han Ying returned to her tent, quickly took a clean towel out, handed it to Xu Mo, and said with a smile: "Wipe your body clean and get dressed again." It's windy in the mountains, so beware of catching a cold. ”
There was a lot of concern in his tone, and after saying this, without waiting for Xu Mo to respond, he went to fetch water with Geng Yanli.
Xu Mo was holding the towel in his hand, and when he smelled a faint fragrance on the towel, it was obviously Han Ying's own, and he couldn't help but be very moved.
The image of him now, which is very clear in his heart, has long and messy hair, and a scruffy beard, he looks almost like a wild man. Gong Lei and Geng Yanli are both moral, although they are willing to help, but they both subconsciously keep a distance from themselves.
Han Ying didn't dislike it at all, and she was willing to use something as private as a towel for herself. I thought: She saved my life, but it's okay, it's really touching to me now. Well, in what she and Geng Yanli said just now, the purpose of coming here seems to be to find something, but she doesn't know what to find? This kind of thing is not easy to find, she has been looking for several years, but she has not found it. When she comes back, I'll ask her to help her no matter what.
At that moment, he walked to the side, dried his body, changed his clothes, put on his shoes, and walked back to help Gong Lei dig the stove.
The two dug the stove, Han Ying and Geng Yanli had already carried the bucket back, and Geng Yanli carried two carp to the lake to kill them. Xu Mo helped Han Ying and Gong Lei pick up some dead branches and light a fire in the stove.
Everyone boiled some boiling water before they began to cook. Han Ying took advantage of the cooking time, took out a small pair of scissors, glanced at Xu Mo, and then beckoned with a smile: "You come, I'll help you cut your hair." ”
Xu Mo had the intention of repaying her, but he did not refuse her kindness. What's more, her tone is amiable and her smile is gentle, which makes it impossible to refuse. Now come closer.
Han Ying carried a folding stool, walked to the lake with Xu Mo, asked him to sit on the stool, faced the lake, and put a clean towel around his neck to prevent the dandruff from falling into his clothes, then picked up scissors and carefully trimmed his hair.
She is gentle and careful, when she trims Xu Mo's hair, she holds scissors in her right hand to trim, but her left hand is always stretched underneath to prevent the trimmed hair from falling on Xu Mo. Occasionally, dandruff sticks to Xu Mo's neck, and he will always reach out to blow it away and push it away in time to avoid making him feel uncomfortable.
After trimming his hair, I helped him trim his beard by the way.
During this time, both of them were very quiet, and neither said a word. Han Ying's temperament is really quiet, and she listens to Xu Mo without saying anything, so naturally she won't ask more, but it's okay.
Xu Mo is indifferent on the outside, but he is extremely hot on the inside, and his feelings are even more impulsive, others ignore him, although he never takes the initiative to lean on, but if others are good to him, he will be doubly good to others. Otherwise, when he was in trouble, with Xiao Man's help, he would not have taken the risk and went to Dongshan Nuwa Niangniang Temple with Luo Ci to find out the news of Xiao Man's father.
After escaping by luck, he will not be excited, and really agree to be Xiaoman's father. Not to mention that before leaving the city, knowing that killing someone would definitely bring him great trouble, he still sneaked into Liu Guohua's house and helped Xiaoman kill him.
Today, Han Ying rescued him, gave him his towel to use, and helped him trim his hair and beard, during which he was careful and careful, except for his mother, no one did this for him. In addition, I have lived alone in the mountains like a wild man for more than two years, and the cold and loneliness in it is beyond the reach of outsiders.
He was moved in his heart, but he didn't say anything in his mouth, so he didn't speak, and the two were relatively silent.
When Han Ying helped him trim his hair and beard, his whole image immediately changed, as if he had changed people, and he couldn't say how refreshing he was.
But Han Ying took off the towel around his neck and looked at his face for a moment, but he was suddenly stunned.
Seeing that her expression was different, Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong?"
Han Ying was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You... You look a lot like a friend of mine. ”
Xu Mo let out an 'oh' and smiled, "Someone has said that before. Thinking of Xiao Man, I thought that the friend she was talking about might be Xiao Man's father.
So he asked, "By the way, what's your friend's name?"
Han Ying shook her head, "I don't know what to do!"
"Your friend, how could you not know the truth?" Xu Mo looked surprised.
"He...," Han Ying's tone was a little hesitant, "He... Actually, he's not really my friend, I've only met him once. ”
"When did you see him? By the way, on the back of his right hand, is there a tooth mark that has been bitten?" Xu Mo refused to give up, and then asked again, which was asked for Xiao Man.
Hearing this, Han Ying glanced at the back of Xu Mo's right hand, looking suspicious.
Xu Mo raised his right hand, pointed to the back of his right hand with his left index finger, and explained to her, "Someone has said before that there is such a person, who said that he looks very similar to me, but on the back of his right hand, he was bitten by someone, leaving a tooth mark. ”
"Oh!" Han Ying shook her head again, looking apologetic, "I didn't pay attention to whether there were any tooth marks on the back of his right hand." Then he thought about it, and a look of remembrance appeared on his face, "I saw him about eight years ago." ”
"Eight years ago? Xiao Man is only seven and a half years old now, that was before Xiao Man was born, maybe when Han Ying met him, he didn't know Xiao Man's mother. Therefore, it is almost impossible to find clues to his disappearance from here. Xu Mo couldn't help but look a little disappointed when he thought of this, and he didn't hide it, and his face naturally appeared.
Han Ying glanced at him, saw the look on his face, and couldn't help but say with concern: "I'm sorry! I don't know much about this person's affairs, is he very important to you?"
Xu Mo smiled: "It's not important, it's just to help others ask, you don't know the way." After a pause, the topic suddenly changed, and he said, "By the way, I accidentally overheard your conversation just now, and you seem to be looking for something here." What are you looking for, can you tell me?"
