Back at Taoyuanju, there was no sign of anything happening on the faces of those who were good at managing their expressions.
Jiang Dao was asked to change clothes, while the others went into the kitchen with the ingredients, discussed what dishes to cook with laughter, and then began to prepare lunch together.
Chu Yinlong was naturally pulled away by Mu Zhixing and was not allowed to get close to the kitchen.
After simply rinsing his hair with cold water and drying his body, Jiangdao changed his clothes and came out. Walking into the kitchen, he saw Qi Peng talking to Haitang.
Hearing the footsteps, Qi Peng looked up and said with a smile: "You seem to be in a good mood. You don't blame Xiao Chu for scolding you, right?"
Jiang Dao laughed: "No."
Chu Yinlong's words were just off the mark. When he first joined the army, the instructors scolded him harshly. Compared to them, Chu Yinlong could be called gentle.
Besides, people who have never been hungry probably cannot understand his conditioned reflex to desperately save food, so it is normal for them to have other speculations.
Qi Peng added, "Actually, Xiao Chu didn't mean badly, he just had a quick temper and said things without restraint. When he saw you jumping into the water, he probably thought you fell down, his face turned blue, and he almost jumped into the water to save you, but was stopped by Director Mu...So, when he later found out that you jumped down by yourself, he got so angry, he was just angry out of shame."
Jiang Dao was so focused on picking up the food at that time that he didn't really notice Chu Yinlong's expression. Looking back now, he indeed did not hear Chu Yinlong's voice when he fished up the cabbage for the first time. He was scolded only when he floated up for the second time.
I just didn't expect that there were so many stories in it.
Looking at the expression on Jiang Dao's face, Qi Peng knew that this kid really had no worries, so he was completely relieved.
"Come, help your mother Hai cut some vegetables. I'll ask the cameraman to come over and take close-ups of you." He assigned the tasks with a smile and turned to call the cameraman.
Jiangdao worked efficiently and quickly cut all the ingredients for lunch and placed them on different plates. Then he followed Haitang to help her and observed and learned from her.
Seeing that Jiang Dao seemed eager to try, Haitang handed him the spatula and said, "Will you cook the next dish? Give it a try."
Fifteen minutes later, the five dishes and one soup for lunch were all ready. Haitang asked Anzhe to go out and call for help, while Jiangdao and Cheng Zhiyi propped up the table and set the table.
Everyone sat down quickly.
After taking two bites of the stir-fried cabbage, Qi Peng felt the taste was strange. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Haitang. Haitang smiled and nodded at Jiangdao who was sitting next to her with the corner of her eye.
Qi Peng coughed lightly, picked up a bunch of cabbage with his chopsticks and put it into Chu Yinlong's bowl.
"I think the vegetarian dishes are well cooked today, very delicious!" He praised while adding two more chopsticks of mushrooms and rapeseed to Chu Yinlong's plate.
Chu Yinlong tasted it and nodded: "It's really good."
Qi Peng smiled and said, "Is it to your taste? The ginger and garlic are fried in oil and then taken out. Only the flavor is left, and there is no residue left, so you don't have to pick it."
Hearing this, Chu Yinlong smiled at Haitang and said, "Thank you for your concern, sister."
Haitang shook her head: "I didn't cook these two dishes."
Chu Yinlong was stunned for a moment.
Haitang smiled and patted Jiangdao: "It was Xiaodao who reminded me that you don't eat onions, ginger and garlic, so I took the seasoning out of the dishes. Besides, the stir-fried cabbage, mushrooms and rapeseed, and dried beans and bacon were all cooked by Xiaodao. I can finally relax today."
Next to him, Mu Zhixing took a big bite of cabbage and hummed in satisfaction.
Then, relying on his high status in the circle, he said something irrelevant: "Besides, these dishes were all rescued from the island, otherwise we would only have two dishes and one soup for lunch."
Chu Yinlong: ...
"Just spoil him." Chu Yinlong smiled bitterly. His tone no longer had the previous anger, but also revealed some helplessness.
After lunch, Qi Peng and Director Mu dragged Chu Yinlong, who wanted to help wash the dishes, and did not give him any chance to approach the kitchen.
"You are too superstitious. It's okay as long as I don't touch fire!" Chu Yinlong tried to argue.
But they were suppressed by the two: "No, the earthen stove cannot be extinguished all day, and it usually keeps a low fire to warm the water. It is too dangerous for you to go in."
"Good guy, I'm not a bomb..." Chu Yinlong was speechless.
Watching Jiang Dao and Cheng Zhiyi working together to put away the dining table and carry it back to the kitchen, Mu Zhixing smiled and said, "This kid is really good. Let's not talk about his professional skills for now, but at least he's not squeamish."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Peng laughed: "And it's rare to be able to sniper with Xiao Chu. Hey, I was really scared on the boat this morning. At his age, he was not afraid of Xiao Chu at all. He even dared to talk back, and his logic was quite clear. You didn't see that Xiao Yi was so scared that his face turned pale at the time."
Chu Yinlong crossed his arms and snorted softly through his nose.
Mu Zhixing: "What are you humming? If he really wants to film, he will definitely be able to catch your aura."
Chu Yinlong raised his eyebrows: "You like it already?"
Director Mu stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "I like her personality, and her temperament is indeed suitable for Little Gray Wolf, but she is too pretty, lacks wildness, and her body is not tough enough. As for the rest...how about playing a little game tonight to test it out?"
"Okay, I'll talk to the director and ask him to keep a cameraman to work the night shift." Qi Peng agreed immediately.
After chatting for a while, Chu Yinlong decided to go back to his room for a nap to save up energy for the afternoon activities. As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw Jiang Dao sitting on a rattan chair by the door, fiddling with his cell phone with a frown on his brows.
Chu Yinlong took a look and asked, "Is your phone broken?"
Jiang Dao sighed, "It's flooded. Now there's only sound, and the screen isn't lit."
Chu Yinlong was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand: "Let me see."
Jiang Dao looked up at Chu Yinlong and smiled, "You didn't even scold me for asking for trouble?"
Taking the phone from Jiang Dao, Chu Yinlong said, "I scolded you because I was afraid you might get into danger. It's all over, why are you still holding on to it?"
As he spoke, he turned off his phone and gently shook it against his ear.
Jiang Dao said casually, "I just can't bear to waste food."
Chu Yinlong was speechless: "Which is more important, food or people?"
Jiang Daoman didn't care: "I am sure that nothing will happen to the people, so eating is important."
Chu Yinlong laughed angrily: "You are still stubborn. I and a cabbage fell into the water at the same time, and you picked up the cabbage first?"
Jiang Dao nodded solemnly, "Get the cabbage first."
Chu Yinlong: ...
Did he bring disgrace upon himself?
Jiang Dao couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his prank had worked.
"After all, cabbages can't swim, and they can fill your stomach." He continued, "Otherwise, if I get really hungry, will I eat you?"
Hearing this, Chu Yinlong looked at Jiang Dao with a strange expression. Jiang Dao curled up in the rattan chair, holding his chin with one hand and grinning wickedly at Chu Yinlong.
Chu Yinlong immediately understood - the kid said this on purpose just to take advantage of him verbally.
"Tsk, childish."
"Hmph, hypocrite." I could actually understand it.
"I never said I was a gentleman."
After a few jokes, the conflict between the two was resolved. After all, no one is a pretentious person, and no one takes it to heart because of such a small matter.
"Give this phone to the director team first and let them take it to the town to get it fixed." Chu Yinlong said, "I don't have any tools with me, so it's not convenient to disassemble it. Otherwise, I can handle it myself."
"Ah..." Jiang Dao looked confused, "Then what should I listen to when I sleep?"
"I'll lend you mine first," Chu Yinlong said, and happened to see the Bluetooth headset on the bedside, and smiled, "It saves me from having to re-pair it. But I don't have a TV drama platform installed on my phone... Can I listen to e-books?"
"It should be OK, as long as it's a human being talking." Jiang Dao said, showing Chu Yinlong a sweet smile, "Teacher Chu, you are such a good person!"
Chu Yinlong glanced at him and said, "Don't pretend to be good. You can't pretend to be good."
Then he called the assistant director, handed Jiang Dao's cell phone to him, and gave him a few instructions.
Returning to the room, he randomly picked up a popular science e-book and played it for Jiang Dao, then lay down on the bed with his clothes on and took the time to catch up on his nap.
Jiang Dao was lying next to Chu Yinlong, wearing a Bluetooth headset, listening to the charming voice in the e-book, and fell asleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes.
Then he fell into a nightmare.
The dream was vague, without any concrete things, but the panic and despair it brought gripped Jiang Dao's heart tightly. He seemed to be torn, bitten, chewed, and swallowed by something...
"Island!"
A voice came from far away.
"Kojima... Jiangdao, loosen your mouth..."
Keep calling him.
"Ejima... Hey!"
After an unknown amount of time, the world suddenly became quiet.
It was so quiet... as if all the animals were dormant before a disaster, or as if all humans were wiped out after a great war...
The trembling from the soul pulled Jiangdao out of his dream. He finally woke up and suddenly opened his eyes.
What came into view was Chu Yinlong, who had a frown and a troubled look on his face. Chu Yinlong was pinching his chin with one hand and prying his thumb into his teeth.
Jiang Dao dodged backwards and stared back in confusion.
"This is the first time I've seen someone bite himself and bleed in a nightmare."
Chu Yinlong said, putting the Bluetooth headset aside and asked, "Does it hurt?"
After hearing this, Jiang Dao suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his lips and a metallic taste in his mouth. He raised his hand to wipe his mouth, and sure enough, his fingertips were stained red.
"Don't touch it, I'll go get the medicine." Chu Yinlong turned over and got out of bed.
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury." Jiang Dao extended his tongue and slid it over the wound twice, "Just lick it."
Seeing that Jiang Dao really didn't care, Chu Yinlong didn't insist. Sitting back on the bed, he asked, "What did you dream about? Why were you so cruel to yourself?"
Jiang Dao closed his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth.
He stretched his body, stretched himself, then opened his eyes and looked at the beams, saying nonchalantly: "I dreamed that I was eaten by someone..."
Finally, he added: "This time it's a real 'eat', the kind that involves peeling the skin, eating the meat, and gnawing on the bones."
Chu Yinlong: ...
He had no wrong idea at first.
This is a superfluous and poor explanation.
It was getting late, so the two decided not to sleep. They got up and tidied themselves up, just in time for Qi Peng to knock on the door.
"Let's get ready to pick watermelons." Qi Peng's voice sounded outside the door, "Get up and get ready."
"Woke up early." Jiang Dao muttered and pushed the door open.
As soon as they met, Qi Peng was stunned.
After a while, he frowned and said, "Xiaodao, you have a bad mouth..." Then he looked into the room with suspicion, his eyes fell on Chu Yinlong's face.
Chu Yinlong knew this would happen, and said helplessly, "He bit himself in a nightmare."
Qi Peng didn't believe it: "Who would dream of biting himself like this? Did you really not hit him?"
Chu Yinlong glared: "You really think I can do this!"
Jiang Dao laughed out loud and walked into the yard with a smile.
Director Mu came out of the room holding a thermos cup. When he saw Jiang Dao, he was stunned: "What's wrong with your mouth?"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Chu Yinlong.
Jiang Dao said obediently: "I had a nightmare and bit myself."
Chu Yinlong spread his hands towards Qi Peng: "Look."
At this time, Haitang came over and passed by Jiangdao. She asked in surprise: "Hey, Xiaodao, what's wrong with your mouth?"
Then she frowned and looked at Chu Yinlong with a reproachful look on her face.
