Chapter 41 Injured Wine Grilled Dried Squid
"careful!"
The gunshot and Ning Tan's voice rang out at the same time.
Zhou Yuesheng fell to the ground sideways upon hearing the sound, and the tip of the dagger in his hand cut the skin of his teammate's arm.
The next moment, the teammate who was also lying sideways gritted his teeth and rushed forward with the knife, stabbing him in the thigh, and blood gushed out continuously.
"Let's go." The teammate pulled Gao Liangyi's collar.
Gao Liangyi's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light: "Huang Feng, he is lame, the opportunity is perfect, kill him."
"Shut up." Huang Feng grabbed Gao Liangyi's arm and took a step to the side.
The next second, a bullet passed by Gao Liangyi's original position and embedded in the wall.
Ning Tan's movements were restricted by his legs. He moved forward slowly and fired several shots.
In the darkness, one could only hear Gao Liangyi groan, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps fleeing.
"Brother Zhou." Ning Tan took a big step forward and his wooden leg almost fell off.
Zhou Yuesheng fumbled to tear off a piece of cloth from the hem of his clothes and tied the wound tightly with it.
He stood up with the help of Ning Tan and said, "Let's go to your house."
For a moment, the only sounds in the quiet street were the occasional barking of dogs and the clattering of Ning Tan's wooden legs.
Ning Tan's house was far away, and twenty minutes had passed when the two of them limped back to the yard.
Fortunately, the bleeding from Zhou Yuesheng's wound stopped.
With a puff, the highly concentrated liquor formed a mist under the dim light and flew toward the wound.
"Zhang Zhenhua, the postman, the wasp, and there are people above us." Zhou Yuesheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "What are you doing in the abandoned house tonight?"
During the fight, he felt that new flesh had grown on the wound on the inside of Wasp's arm, proving that the chip had been removed for some time.
"The person who was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital has died." Ning Tan paused while pouring the medicine powder.
Zhou Yuesheng was silent.
"Brother Zhou, could it be Yu——"
"impossible."
Ning Tan was stunned by his decisive tone and asked, "Why? Zhang Zhenhua and Gao Liangyi are both related to her, and Yu Haiguang is the Sea Eagle."
"When will He Youan and Yu Peilan return to the provincial capital?" Zhou Yuesheng changed the subject.
Ning Tan stared at him for a few seconds and replied, "May 10th."
"Send someone to watch Zhang Zhenhua. He is helping Gao Liangyi find a woman." Zhou Yuesheng told him the scattered clues he had heard, "That woman has appeared near Huaxi Village recently."
Ning Tan nodded.
After that, the two fell into a long silence.
"Yu Zhile is not an enemy spy." Zhou Yuesheng said.
The reason was stuck in his throat and he didn't know how to explain it to Ning Tan. Now he still finds it unbelievable.
"Why?" Ning Tan lit a cigarette and looked at him steadily.
Zhou Yuesheng sighed: "One day, you will know."
The atmosphere became silent again.
Ning Tan's gaze remained on the blood-stained wooden leg. Recalling the man's miserable condition, he kept smoking, and soon more than a dozen cigarette butts piled up at his feet.
Zhou Yuesheng was silent for a while, then took a big gulp of white wine.
After a long time, Ning Tan pinched the empty cigarette box and said, "I'll take you back."
The jeep stopped not far from the village entrance, and its two headlights shone straight on a large stone with the three big characters "Haiyu Village" engraved on it.
Zhou Yuesheng stopped at the car door and looked at Ning Tan silently.
"I won't act impulsively." Ning Tan curled his lips at him and patted his wooden leg.
Zhou Yuesheng walked towards the lamppost with slow steps.
After he walked some distance away, Ning Tan reached for the gun under the seat, aimed at the back of his head, and put his index finger on the trigger.
"Bang--"
The moment Zhou Yuesheng pushed the door, a stone flew towards him.
He subconsciously took a step to the side, his injured right leg was in pain, and he fell against the door frame.
The stone hung by the rope swung back and forth in the air several times and finally came to a stop.
The noise woke up Yu Yue and Yu Chi who were lying on the kang.
Yu Chi looked around with sleepy eyes and fell asleep again.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuesheng stepped into the house.
As the man was pulling and struggling, the gauze bandaging the wound became soaked with blood, and the smell of blood gradually filled the air.
Yu Yue propped himself up, lit the oil lamp on the kang cabinet, looked him over, then turned around and took out the small package.
Zhou Yuesheng consciously carried Yu Chi to a farther place, revealing the blood-stained gauze.
"I've been feeling like I'm being watched lately." Yu Yue frowned as he looked at the two-finger-wide wound.
As he spoke, he picked up a white porcelain bottle, pulled out the cork, and an indescribable bitter smell of medicinal herbs emanated from the bottle.
The powder came into contact with the wound, and within seconds, the bleeding stopped.
Hearing this, Zhou Yuesheng glanced at the window and also made a simple mechanism.
Yu Yue simply threw the porcelain bottle to him.
"Thank you." Zhou Yuesheng took it, then tore open the gauze and tied it again.
The oil lamp was blown out and the room returned to darkness.
The two could clearly hear each other's breathing.
After a while, Yu Yue whispered in a dreamlike voice: "For the last time, don't bring danger back to my house again."
Zhou Yuesheng remained silent for a long time and finally did not respond.
In the early morning, Zhang Wenxin's voice broke the tranquility of the courtyard.
"This is my first time going to the beach in the morning!" She lowered her voice on purpose, but still couldn't suppress her overflowing excitement.
Chen Zhao recalled the scene of her first time fishing and laughed: "It's so fun to fish in the sea. I can also do magic tricks."
"Have breakfast." Seeing that he was about to talk about conchs again, Yu Zhile quickly stuffed a steamed bun with green pepper and egg sauce in it into his mouth.
The rich aroma of the sauce distracted him and he chewed the steamed bun in big mouthfuls.
Zhang Wenxin took the steamed bun out of the basket, broke it in half like her, spread a spoonful of egg sauce on it, and took a big bite.
The salty and rich sauce instantly stimulates the taste buds, making the ordinary steamed buns very attractive.
"Well, good, eat." She praised vaguely while eating.
The two of them seemed to be competing with each other. They finished the steamed buns in their hands in no time, drank a mouthful of porridge at the same time, and then took another steamed bun to dip in the sauce.
“All ingredients will become delicious after turning them around in your hands.” Zhang Wenxin picked up the last grain of rice and burped.
She brought the steamed buns and green peppers, and she didn't expect there was such a way to cook them.
Yu Zhile ate his breakfast leisurely and said, "All dishes that are prepared with salt and oil are delicious."
"No, my aunt's mother-in-law's cooking is not very tasty." Zhang Wenxin laughed, "Oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all put into the pot, and the food is not good."
After saying that, she curled her lips, obviously recalling some bad memories.
"Pour oil into a pan and heat it up. Add the beaten eggs and fry until they are fine. Set aside for later use."
"One spoon each of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and starch, add three spoons of sauce and half a bowl of water."
“Fry the chopped ginger, onion and garlic until fragrant, pour in the sauce and stir-fry, then add the chopped eggs and chopped green pepper, stir-fry evenly and serve.”
Yu Zhile broke down the steps into details and explained them to Zhang Wenxin, who listened carefully.
"It sounds easy. I'll make it for my grandparents when I go home for the New Year." Chen Zhao took out a small notebook and recorded everything.
After writing it down, he looked up at the sky and realized that it was almost time to take the ox cart ride.
"Sister, I'm leaving." Chen Zhao put on his bag and stood up to leave.
Yu Zhile called him over, handed him a tightly wrapped oil paper bag, and said, "Dried squid."
A piece of beige letter paper folded into the size of a palm was sandwiched between the brown oil paper and the hemp rope.
"What is this?" Chen Zhao opened a corner of the letter paper. "Food, use, explanation."
"How to eat, storage conditions and time." Yu Zhile replied.
Chen Zhao's curiosity was satisfied, and he remembered that he still had to go to town, so he hurried out.
In the west room, Yu Chi walked over the faces of Yu Yue and Zhou Yuesheng with drooping eyelids, then stepped on a stool and got off the kang in a familiar place.
Papa, who had been sleeping in the corner, was already waiting for him beside the stool and followed him out.
Yu Yue propped himself up, skillfully took the special crutches, and sat on the wheelchair smoothly.
Seeing Zhou Yuesheng, whose face was pale, about to stand up, he stopped what he was doing and said, "Rest for a while."
"Okay." Zhou Yuesheng lay down and closed his eyes.
Yu Zhile boiled an egg and wrapped it in a cloth to roll Yu Chi's eyelids. Hearing the voice, he looked up and looked behind Yu Yue.
"Brother Zhou is still sleeping." Yu Yue didn't say much.
Yu Zhile was quite surprised, and then nodded in response.
She turned the egg in her hand for more than ten times before she stopped: "Give Xiaobao some grilled dried squid to eat, and stay home obediently."
"Okay." Yu Chi nodded obediently.
Yu Zhile poured a small cup of Shaodaozi into a large porcelain bowl, lit it with a match, and flames instantly burst out of the bowl.
"If this is your first time roasting, remember to use a long pair of tongs so you don't burn your hands." She reminded him as she held the dried squid with chopsticks and roasted it back and forth over the flame.
The plate-like dried squid gradually curled up into a ball.
Yu Zhile took a plate and covered the bowl with it, then continued, "If you find that there is not enough wine, don't just add more wine. Make sure the fire is really out first."
As she spoke, she took the plate away and put her chopsticks into the bowl, but there was no burning reaction.
The roasted dried squid is fragrant and chewy, and can be torn into long strips, making it ideal as a snack.
Yu Zhile and Zhang Wenxin picked up the bamboo baskets and went to the beach from the backyard.
"My grandfather and dad will definitely love this taste, as a side dish for drinking." Zhang Wenxin said vaguely, still holding the squid shreds he had left before leaving the house.
Yu Zhile smiled and said, "It's just a dish to go with wine."
"This tastes much better than the dried squid sold at the dry goods factory in town. Why can't we make it?"
"No, we can do it, but we have to do it slowly."
"Then the first step is definitely to set up a stall at the market."
Zhang Wenxin muttered softly, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling.
"What are you mumbling about?" When Yu Zhile turned on the live broadcast, he found that she was talking to herself.
Zhang Wenxin's thoughts were interrupted. She suddenly came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly.
"Is it related to me?" Yu Zhile inexplicably felt that there was a hint of guilt on her face.
Zhang Wenxin quickly waved her hands to deny it.
"I don't believe it. Will you tell me?" Yu Zhile reached out to scratch her palm.
Zhang Wenxin broke free from her hand and ran forward with a smile: "No, really not."
After they played for a while, Zhang Wenxin couldn't run anymore.
When she looked up, what came into her sight was the endless sea.
Zhang Wenxin suddenly became excited: "I'm looking forward to it! I wonder what kind of seafood I'll find today."
