The preparation of the dinner started at 4:00 p.m. and was finished at 6:00 p.m. Although the process was long and there were many accidents in the middle of the process, the overall atmosphere was harmonious, and the dinner was also very sumptuous.
Ya Xiao think this group of people actually not to the wilderness survival, they are to the outdoor barbecue, everyone carrying a large bag of food accounted for a large proportion, and most of the kind of marinated raw meat, chicken wings, ham and so on, as well as seasoning and oil and so on, and even Zhao Dongyue also brought a large bag of raw oysters. Of course this thing out already some odor, can only be thrown away. Mao SanDuo said that they would be going down the mountain tomorrow, so in order to lighten the load this group of people planned to eliminate all that they could eat and drink.
There were pork chops and large chicken wings on the barbed wire fence, and on the side there were fish, unknown mushrooms, and even a pheasant that Shan Yanxiu and Mao Sanduo had gotten.
“I say you guys, you’re just here for an outdoor barbecue.” Mao Sanduo, who was biting into a chicken wing, had a pained look on his face, “Look at what you guys have brought! How can you bring these things if you come out to survive in the wilderness? I’m just wondering how each and every one of you is walking so slowly, each and every one of you is crawling like a turtle.”
Lin Zitan raised his hand and smashed a piece of bone, “Get lost, he led the wrong way and still blamed others, we didn’t tear you up even if it was good, going east actually led us to the west.”
“That’s right, it’s thanks to our good breeding that we didn’t whip you,” Xu Noi agreed, “Now you shut up and eat!”
Mao Sanmao muttered a few times and turned to Ya Xiao, “Aye, how many days have you been here?”
“Two days.” She nibbled on a fish skewer, her face burning a little.
“I see you guys are professionally equipped,” Mao Sando was clearly interested, “I see you guys even brought an engineer’s shovel, looks like it’s just good stuff wow.”
“Aren’t just two people scared?” Li Merde obviously had his heart in the right place, “I need at least five people to feel more at ease when I’m with a group.”
“You are thinking too much, net thinking of wolves in the middle of the night ah wild man ah come to catch you away, really want to be afraid of, do not come out to camp,” is breaking corn cobs Zhao Dongyue is very disdainful, “but also a big man, and even do not dare to drink wine.”
“Who said I don’t dare to drink,” Li Merde’s face reddened, “Now there is no wine, if there is I, I drink it a jar.”
This sentence led to a group of people wailing, has been muffled Zou Yi ship at this time the power, from has not been away from the big backpack put forward two dozen of beer, two bottles of high degree of white wine, boldly full of shot, “come come, is a mule is a horse out to walk!” This time not only Ya Xiao and the others were dumbfounded, even Shan Yanxiu raised his eyebrows, “You guys are really here for a barbecue.”
Ya Xiao didn’t drink any alcohol and only picked the fish skewers and mushroom skewers and ate a little. Later, she remembered that she still had some cereal in the backpack she brought with her, and turned it out in her hand. Pouring some mineral water into a small pot, she boiled it to cook the cereal paste. While she was cooking the cereal, she felt that Shan Yanxiu was looking at her, she turned her head and glared at him, and saw that he was holding two skewers of mushrooms in one hand and squeezing a can of beer in the other, his brows furrowed, looking quite unhappy.
What is he unhappy about, how scarce are the vegetables and fruits in the wild mountains, what is there to be unhappy about when he eats two bunches of mushrooms? She thought angrily, and threw two pieces of fruit candy into the boiling pot to add flavor. When it’s cold, you have to eat something sweet to increase the sugar content and feel warmer. The oatmeal porridge boiled away, and the sweet, creamy flavor wafted away drawing the others up to look at it. But most of them only glanced at it and shook their heads and walked away, the porridge’s appearance is really extremely ugly, mushy pile, disgusting degree is comparable to the car accident duck in the country of the stick.
Ya Xiao did not think, anyway, they cook their own food, looks ugly to eat the flavor is not bad. She nibbled a few bites of bread with her oatmeal, the bread was cold and hard, she chewed a few times with difficulty before swallowing. She was about to break the bread into pieces and rub it into the porridge when the person next to her suddenly handed her something. She subconsciously reached out and took it, and was about to look up and say thank you, when she saw it was him her face changed.
Spread out her hand, palm is a piece of silver packaging things, half a palm size, still hot. She tore open the tinfoil and the flavor came out, it was chocolate, but in a semi-molten form. Ah, how generous of him to give her a piece of chocolate that was melted. Just as she was considering whether or not to stick this chocolate in his face, his voice rang in her ear, “Why don’t you eat it?”
Eat? How do you eat it? Was she supposed to lick it? She looked up and slammed him with a bunch of blank stares and bit into the bread as if to vent her anger.
He didn’t say anything, just reached out and lifted the half-removed tinfoil chocolate over, broke a piece of bread in her hand and jiaojiaoed it, then stuffed it into her mouth, the corner of his eyebrow slightly raised, “Eat it like this.” The sweet, rich chocolate sauce melted in her mouth and was intoxicatingly sweet. For a moment she just giggled and looked at him with the bread in her mouth, signaling her inability to react. He nonchalantly broke off a chunk of the bread and then gagged her mouth tightly with chocolate syrup, repeating, “Will you?”
The look in his eyes, I don’t know how many times.
This meal until almost ten o’clock is still not finished, the grill on the things changed I do not know how many rounds, a ground of bones and fish spines. Beer is also almost eliminated, white wine is only half a bottle left. Facts have proved that this group of people’s alcohol consumption are not very drip, mostly belong to two or three cans of beer can be put down the main. Mao Sando is considered to be able to drink, but also in five cans of beer to a small half bottle of white wine under the collapse. A group of people you help me to help you back to their tents, Ya Xiao has long been sleepy, yawning constantly. But she had no intention of going into the tent, and took a blanket and wrapped it around her body, curling up by the fire like a cat.
“Are you going to sleep out here tonight?” He stood in front of her, straight as a pine tree.
She sniffled and didn’t answer, just curled herself up a little tighter and balled up stubbornly. It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about leaving alone earlier, but she knew that she couldn’t physically support herself to the bottom of the mountain, and she wasn’t familiar with the terrain, so it would be a real cry for help if anything happened halfway there. Can only endure, wait until tomorrow and this group of people together. There are more people, she is not afraid of him to do something. Just need to get through the night, after tonight. “Answer me.” He half-squatted down and wrenched her face toward his, “Wouldn’t you rather freeze to death than go inside and sleep?”
“Yes, so please stay away from me.” Her voice wasn’t too loud, but the bite of every word was clear and plain in his ears.
After a moment’s stalemate he finally released her, “Fine, whatever.”
After nightfall the temperature dropped even lower, although sitting by the fire but the cold wind is whooshing, no matter which angle to change there is always half of the body is cold, either left and right, or front and back. All she could do was keep switching positions as she had done with the grilled fish on the previous rack, sniffling sparingly.
The bright warmth of the fire slowly became hazy and jumpy in her vision, with the occasional spark like a butterfly flying off into the clear night sky with the rising thermals. The whistling wind and the small crackling and popping of branches as they scorched could be heard, and the distinctive scent of burning dry wood and earth hung in the air. Deeper into the night you could smell the night dew on the cold winds blowing through, cold and sweet, carrying the fresh scent of moss and pine as it brushed past.
Half hot and half cold.
She gave in with little resistance to the onslaught of sleep, and her body, which had been sitting upright, slowly tilted in a dangerous arc toward the warmth. Just as her head came close to hitting the fire, a hand reached out from behind her in time to wrench her shoulders back, and her head slammed into the chest of the person behind her with a thud. Instead of waking up, she rubbed her face toward the warmth, grinding a few times to find a comfortable spot to nestle into.
Carrying her back to the tent he immediately sensed her abnormal body temperature, his hand brushed over the tip of her icy nose, and then applied it to the hot forehead, he couldn’t help but let out a low curse, “What kind of temper, it’s not going to stop you from freezing.”
Inside the accompanying medicine box is mostly external medicine, internal use is only for diarrhea and other emergencies. And the other several tents in the people have long been drunk to the hands and feet are not divided, simply can not count on. Turning his head to look at her again the situation seems to be a little worse, the whole person is red and hot, burning prawns like curled up into a ball, sweat is snapping, but the mouth is screaming cold, very painful to roll around, the mouth is indistinctly screaming and cursing. He picked out only a few clear sentences and listened to them; it was good; it seemed she had not slackened her hatred of him even when she was ill, and had cursed him to the seventh generation of his ancestors.
Glancing around the camp, his eyes landed on the scattered beer bottles, and with a thought, he warmed up the remaining half bottle of white wine, and just as he gave her a sip she choked it out and wailed. He was sprayed in the face by her in the confusion and raked by her claws, his face neatly five shaving marks, hot and painful. She cried for a while, but her eyes remained closed, and at the end of the day whimpered and rolled over to continue sleeping.
Shan Yanxiu wiped his face and sat beside her rather hopelessly. After a while to touch her forehead, the situation did not improve. Thinking about it, he had to dig out the satellite phone and dialed the only number on it, and picked it up without ringing a few times. Without waiting for the other party to speak he asked, “Silent Night, are you sleeping?”
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, and a growl came out of nowhere, “She’s in the shower, something for tomorrow!” Bam hung up.
Shan Yanxiu stared at the phone for half a minute, and after regaining his senses, he continued to pull the number over, and when the other end picked up he grabbed the phone and said, “I don’t care who you are, and I don’t care if she’s in the shower or not, put Jingyue on the phone.” The other end is a moment of lag, less leaning a loud bang accompanied by a metallic murmur came, the other party smashed the phone. He gave a dark curse and persevered in pulling the number back. Silent night heavy hands and feet and like to wrestle around, she used something more than the average person to come to a lot of sturdy.
Sure enough it was still call waiting status, this time he didn’t have to wait long, Jing Night’s voice rang out on the other end with a few hints of exasperation, “Ayan, there’s a crazy dog in my house, come and get rid of him!”
“I don’t have time now, some other time.” He refused quickly.
“No time why are you calling me in the middle of the night?” Silent Night growled, “I have to work tomorrow!”
“Let me ask you, didn’t you get over your fever last time by drinking white wine?”
“Yeah, why do you have a fever?”
“It wasn’t me, it was her.”
“Then you poured white wine into her?”
“A little, it didn’t help.”
“Ayan, you remember what you said to me, she’s not me, her intestines flow out and she can still put them back in by herself. So the methods I can use may not work on her.” Silent Night grunted, “I said at this point in time, can’t you take her to the hospital?”
“We’re outside.” He glanced in the direction of the tent, “In the mountains.”
“In the mountains at this hour?” Silent Night’s voice drew up all of a sudden, “Are you in your right mind? You don’t think of her as ……”
“I’ve always been sober.” His tone turned cold, “This matter was never what you think it is.”
A low voice came from the other end of the phone after a moment of silence, “Really?”
“Did you not get enough of a kick out of the last fight?” He clenched his right hand, the scar on his palm had slowly healed, “Okay, now you NND tell me how to bring down her fever!”
There was silence on the other end of the line, followed by a burst of laughter that went from giggling to coming up for air in the background, and ended with a clanking sound, like something had been knocked over.
Laugh, laugh, laugh, wait until the next time I see you you will have to cry. Shan Yanxiu squeezed the phone tightly, a vein rippling from the corner of his forehead.
“…… Ayan, I’m telling you this is a good opportunity, a super good opportunity!” Silent Night’s voice became ambiguous and lewd, “I’m suggesting this to you purely as a friend and not as a woman, although it’s a bit of a lackluster suggestion …… You hurriedly take this opportunity to strip yourself naked and use your body heat to reduce her fever. I’ve seen it done on TV, and it’s worked a hundred times over.” “Don’t give such unsupportable advice!” His teeth clenched, “Is there nothing else you can do?”
“Coke, Coke with ginger slices boiled hot and drunk.”
“There’s no such thing.”
“Well, then sacrifice yourself and simmer yourself hot for her.”
