Chapter 14
Shaoxing Yang stared at the sneaky Lu Shiyu, who was secretly fiddling with something.
Lu Shiyu looked at the glass bottle in his hand, occasionally revealing a perverted smile, and then returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
Something is wrong, very wrong, absolutely wrong.
Shaoxingyang wanted to find out the truth, but Lu Shiyu would hide the bottle every time. So this time, Shaoxingyang took advantage of the time when Lu Shiyu and Yanhong went to the bathroom and secretly opened Lu Shiyu's backpack, trying to find the glass bottle that Lu Shiyu treasured.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yunliang's voice came from behind. Shao Xingyang thought it was Lu Shiyu and the others who came back and was startled.
"I'm so scared! How come you don't make any sound when you walk?"
Shao Xingyang started rummaging through the bag again, oblivious to the surroundings. Chen Yunliang frowned and asked, "Are you rummaging through Lu Shiyu's bag?"
"What do you mean by stealing? I'm robbing openly," Shao Xingyang said shamelessly, "and aren't you curious about what's in that bottle?"
During this period, not only Shao Xingyang noticed it, but Chen Yunliang also discovered that Lu Shiyu had a hidden bottle, which seemed to contain something white.
"It's never nice to go through other people's bags."
"Just put it back before she comes back."
Shaoxing Yang searched for a while but couldn't find the bottle containing the white unknown object. Feeling curious, he searched again out of disbelief, but still found nothing.
"That's weird, why isn't there one? Lu Shiyu wouldn't take that bottle with him when he goes to the bathroom, right?"
Chen Yunliang squatted down and watched Shaoxingyang rummaging through the bag. Suddenly, he noticed a partition bag on the side of the backpack for a water bottle. Chen Yunliang reached out to unzip it, and there was indeed something inside.
“It’s here!”
Shaoxing Yang took the glass bottle out of the partition. Inside was half a bottle of white, unidentified solid object with many large and small bubbles on it.
Shaoxing Yang opened the lid and smelled it, his expression twisted for a moment.
"Why does it smell sour? Could it be bad?"
Chen Yunliang slapped him on the back of the head in annoyance and said, "Who taught you to smell like that? Did you pay your junior high school chemistry class back to your teacher?"
Shao Xingyang scratched his head and said stubbornly, "Could it be that Lu Shiyu is hiding something poisonous?"
Shaoxing Yang took the glass bottle and looked at it left and right but couldn't figure out what it was.
"Could it be that the yogurt has gone bad and you don't want to throw it away?"
"You idiot, where did this yogurt come from?" Chen Yunliang snatched the glass bottle and after examining it, concluded, "This is..."
"What are you two doing?"
Yan Hong came back just as Lu Shiyu was about to leave. As soon as she came back, she found two people squatting stealthily next to Lu Shiyu's backpack. Lu Shiyu's backpack was wide open, and it was obvious that someone had rummaged through it.
"Um... well, we are..." Shao Xingyang's eyes rolled, and his tone suddenly became tough. He pointed at Chen Yunliang and said righteously, "I saw him stealing Lu Shiyu's bag! So I immediately came to stop him. It just so happened that you guys came back. Hurry, arrest this guy who stole other people's bags."
Yan Hong: “…”
Lu Shiyu: “…”
Chen Yunliang: “…6.”
When Tang Zeyu came back with some wild fruits and firewood, he saw Shaoxingyang tied with a hemp rope and hanging on a tree.
"Captain, wuwuwuwu, save me, wuwuwuwuwu."
Shaoxing Yang shook his body, causing the rope to swing along with him, and his whole body swayed in the air like a pendulum.
Tang Zeyu also fell silent.
"What did he do again?"
"Captain! Why do you have such a preconceived notion that I did something wrong? It's obvious at a glance that I'm the victim!" Shaoxing Yang seriously protested against Tang Zeyu's prejudice.
"Okay, what just happened?"
Chen Yunliang was the first to answer: "Shaoxing Yang was caught stealing Yu's bag while he was robbing the road, and then Yan Hong tied him up and hung him on a tree."
Tang Zeyu turned to look at Shao Xingyang and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Hey, no more."
"Then I'll hang you up for a while. I'll let you down when it's time to eat."
Lu Shiyu walked up to Shaoxing Yang who was hanging up and asked him why he was searching his bag.
"It's the bottle you've been hiding secretly," Shao Xingyang pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "It's just a bottle of broken things. Why don't you let me see it?"
"Broken things?" Lu Shiyu didn't understand: "What are you talking about?"
"He's talking about your bottle of yeast." In the end, it was Chen Yunliang who pointed out Shaoxing Yang's meaning.
“That,” Lu Shiyu finally understood, “that’s the yeast I made with ant honey. It’s not bad.”
"Yeast?" Shaoxing Yang said, swinging back and forth in the tree. "Isn't yeast made from yeast powder?"
Chen Yunliang was amused by Shaoxingyang's ignorance. "Shaoxingyang, have you completed your nine years of compulsory education? If not, go back to the base and make up for it. It's not good for you to make such a fool of yourself when you're already an adult."
"If we have yeast, can we make pastries?" Yan Hong said.
"Of course you can, and judging by the date, this jar of yeast is almost ready to use," Lu Shiyu took the glass jar from Chen Yunliang and said, "How about eating buns today?"
"Okay, okay!" Shaoxing Yang, who was still hanging on the tree, was completely unaware. When he heard Lu Shiyu say he was going to make buns, he started shaking with joy: "I love eating buns the most."
"Shut up. Is there anything you don't like to eat?" Yan Hong poked Shao Xingyang in annoyance.
"But dumplings need fillings, and we've almost used up all the ingredients we collected in the past two days."
"It's simple. Let's go find some ingredients for the filling, and you prepare the noodles here. Division of labor and cooperation will double the efficiency." Shao Xingyang struggled for a while and said, "So put me down quickly!"
"It's so noisy."
Yan Hong impatiently cut the rope that was hanging Shao Xingyang with a knife. Shao Xingyang fell to the ground and untied the hemp rope by himself after a while.
In the end, after a game of rock-paper-scissors, it was decided that Tang Zeyu and Lu Shiyu would stay to guard the camp, while the other three would be responsible for finding the ingredients for the bun filling.
Lu Shiyu rolled up his sleeves, took out half a bag of flour, and started kneading the dough directly in the pot. He added appropriate amount of water, flour and a spoonful of oil, and then put the homemade yeast in and mixed it simply. Lu Shiyu thought for a while and added a spoonful of ant honey. He held the edge of the iron pot with one hand and mixed the dough with the other hand.
Lu Shiyu was afraid that it wouldn't be enough, so she put a lot of flour in it. As a result, she could hardly knead the dough herself.
"Let me knead it," Tang Zeyu rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands, then said to Lu Shiyu, "Help me hold the pot."
"good."
Tang Zeyu is much stronger than Lu Shiyu. The dough, which was originally as stiff as cement, became as obedient as soft silicone (a stress-relieving toy) in his hands. Stirring the dough until there is no dry powder is the real beginning of kneading the dough.
Tang Zeyu used the base of his palms to push and knead the dough. After about ten minutes, the dough became smooth and round, and it felt soft when poked.
Let the dough stay in the pot, cover the pot and let it stay closed for a while to wait for fermentation.
Tang Zeyu raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face. He seemed to have forgotten that there was flour on his hands, and the flour also got on his cheeks without him realizing it.
After Lu Shiyu placed the dough, he clapped his hands and stood up. He saw that Tang Zeyu's face had been rubbed by himself into a look like a tabby cat. The white patches on his face were particularly conspicuous. Lu Shiyu couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Tang Zeyu wiped his face hesitantly, and a white spot appeared on his face in an instant.
"Puchi, hahahahahaha, don't wipe your face yet, the more you wipe, the more smudged it will be." Lu Shiyu finally couldn't help but said with a smile: "Let me help you wipe it, don't use your hands."
Tang Zeyu looked at his hands and then remembered that there was flour on them. His ears turned red.
Lu Shiyu washed his hands and used a wet tissue to wipe Tang Zeyu's face, but his hand froze as soon as he stretched it out.
Wait, why did she have to wipe Tang Zeyu's face? If it was dirty, couldn't she just give him some paper and let him wipe it himself?
Realizing that his actions had gone beyond the boundaries, Lu Shiyu hurriedly stopped: "Um, here's the paper, wipe it yourself..."
Before Lu Shiyu finished speaking, Tang Zeyu had already bent down, put his face in front of her, and closed his eyes.
"Wipe it off."
Now it was Lu Shiyu's turn to blush. Caught between a rock and a hard place, he chose to go ahead and stammered, "Okay, okay."
The cold, wet tissue was pressed against his skin. Tang Zeyu didn't dare open his eyes to see Lu Shiyu's expression. He could only remain calm and feel the cold touch on his face.
"Okay, get up."
For some reason, the atmosphere between the two became a little subtle. After wiping their faces, they both tacitly chose to avoid each other's sight, sitting back to back in silence, one on the left and the other on the right. Their hearts were bubbling like dough fermenting in a pot.
The other side
Chen Yunliang was walking casually in one direction when he suddenly noticed a few bright dots in front of him. Chen Yunliang walked in that direction and found a few half-human-high trees growing on the hillside. The trees were hung with red and yellow fruits, which looked very conspicuous.
Chen Yunliang picked a red fruit and took a bite. It tasted a bit like bell pepper, but sweeter than bell pepper. It was full of seeds, so it was probably a kind of fruit.
Yan Hong also had some gains. After walking for a distance, she found several large birds circling in the sky nearby. It looked like two males were fighting for the right to mate with a female. The two males were fighting fiercely in the sky, while the female was standing steadily on the tree, cleaning her feathers, waiting for the winner to be decided and then mate with her to give birth to a stronger next generation.
Yan Hong took off her shoes and climbed up the tree without making any sound. She moved quietly behind the female bird without being discovered. Yan Hong aimed at the female bird's position and quickly grabbed the female bird that was about to fly away. Before the female bird could struggle and scream, Yan Hong broke its neck and got down the tree with the trophy.
Just as she put on her shoes and was about to leave, she saw a male bird with its eyes pecked out stumble and fall to the ground. Because it had lost its sight, it struggled for a long time but could only stay on the tree. Yan Hong unceremoniously stepped forward to pick up the male bird and gave it a good beating. She walked back with the buy-one-get-one-free trophy, leaving the male bird, who had finally won the victory but found that the female bird was missing, looking around in the tree.
Shao Xingyang found a bush with sweet and sour berries, but unfortunately they were only the size of grapes. Shao Xingyang could only pick as many as he could until his pockets were full and his hands could no longer hold any more.
The three of them came back from different directions one after another. As soon as they came back, they found that the atmosphere between Lu Shiyu and Tang Zeyu was a little awkward, as if they were deliberately keeping a distance.
The three of them looked at each other, and no one knew what had happened to the two while they were away.
"Did they have a fight?"
