Chapter 335: Attack Again
The cabin was only 15 square meters and very simple, but it had everything it needed. There was a wooden table under the window and a wooden bed on the other side with bedding on it, but it was so dirty that you couldn't tell the color. There was a pit in the middle of the cabin, and the firewood was burning very vigorously.
A stone pot was placed on the fire, and rabbit meat pieces with only salt in them were rolling up and down in the pot. After a while, the aroma of meat wafted into the noses of the three people.
“It smells so good!”
Zheng Xin smelled the fragrance while stirring it with chopsticks and enjoyed the process very much.
Zhao Jingcheng was processing the gray rabbit skin on the side, obviously preparing to use the skin to keep himself warm.
"Lianyi, the meat is cooked, come and eat!"
Zheng Xin waved the chopsticks with a smile, calling Lianyi over.
Lianyi walked over, washed her hands and grabbed a piece of meat and started eating. Although Zheng Xin didn't like Zhao Jingcheng, she still filled the only porcelain bowl in the wooden house with meat, then placed it on the wooden table for Zhao Jingcheng to enjoy alone.
The three of them ate and drank their fill, and Zheng Xin even burped. The two of them cleaned up, making sure they wouldn't be discovered that they had eaten the meat, and prepared to go back.
"Zhao Jingcheng, you can consider cooperating with us. We will use food as compensation. You can't stay here for the whole winter!"
Lian Yi said directly.
Zhao Jingcheng looked up at the two of them, somewhat disdainfully, but still said:
"If I kill prey, I will exchange some with you educated youth. Male educated youth have exchanged with me before, but I was always secretive every time."
"Great! They actually ate alone without telling us!"
Zheng Xin raised her eyebrows and said somewhat unhappily.
"You can't say that. After all, they exchanged their own food for it. It's understandable that they didn't share it with us."
Lianyi said nonchalantly that in this day and age, it doesn’t mean that men have to accommodate women.
"At least ask us if we need to change. If I knew there was meat, I would definitely change some."
Zheng Xin said with a frown.
"Let's go! We should go back!"
Lianyi took out a handful of fruit candies from her pocket and placed them directly on the wooden table.
"Come to me if you have prey. This is the deposit!"
Then he turned around, pulled Zheng Xin, left the wooden house, and returned to the place where he had collected firewood.
Zheng Xin carried the bundle of firewood she had prepared earlier and said to Lianyi:
"I'll go back and call Sister Xiufen out first. You wait for her here. After we eat the rabbit legs, you can go back together."
Zheng Xin was still very thoughtful. Today, she had benefited from Lian Yi's help, so she took the responsibility for this matter.
"Okay, I'll wait here, you stay away from Pan Nuannuan."
"I know. My relationship with her is average. She doesn't have the nerve to stick to me."
Zheng Xin waved her hand and went down the mountain carrying the firewood.
Without Zheng Xin, she didn't have to pretend. She just broke off a few thick branches, gathered them together, and tied them up with a hemp rope.
Just then, Wang Xiufen also walked over quickly. She said breathlessly:
"Zheng Xin asked me to help you carry the firewood, and she kept winking at me, so I came over quickly."
"Sister Xiufen, it must be a good thing to ask you to come."
Lianyi pulled her behind a tree, took out the rabbit leg wrapped in oil paper from her arms, and handed it to her directly:
"Eat quickly! We'll go down the mountain after we finish eating."
"You two are really brave. You went into the mountains?"
After all, Wang Xiufen had been in Hongqi Commune for a long time, so she immediately understood what the rabbit legs meant.
"No, the rabbit was chased out by someone, and I happened to run into it."
Lianyi asked Wang Xiufen to talk while she ate, and when she finished eating the rabbit leg, she also finished telling the story.
"Come on, let's go back. We need to discuss this matter. You guys are not always so lucky."
After eating the meat, Wang Xiufen felt full of strength. The two of them carried the bundle of firewood and walked towards the village. She felt that the firewood had become lighter.
Most of the people at the educated youth camp had returned. Seeing that the three female classmates had picked up so much firewood, they all gave a thumbs up. Only Pan Nuannuan looked a little embarrassed, and then deliberately said:
"Lianyi, why didn't you call me when you went to collect firewood?"
"You eat slowly, and I can't wait, so I'm going to collect firewood with Zheng Xin. Let's go together the day after tomorrow!"
Lianyi didn't get angry, but just replied perfunctorily.
"Okay, no problem."
A strange look flashed across Pan Nuannuan's face, and she responded with a smile.
The next day, Lianyi did not go out, and Pan Nuannuan did not leave the educated youth point either. She accompanied Lianyi to do needlework for the whole day. During this time, Chen Jiashu came to see Lianyi twice, but because Pan Nuannuan was present, he only said a few dry words and left.
Lianyi didn't respond to the other party's hesitation and just focused on the things at hand. Pan Nuannuan had no intention of smoothing things over for Lianyi and was even happy to see it happen.
On the morning of the third day, Pan Nuannuan got up early and made breakfast, but for the first time she didn't eat it all. Seeing Lianyi wrapping a multi-grain pancake after eating, she did the same. Then she took the initiative to pick up the hatchet and hemp rope and went to collect firewood with Lianyi.
Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin were a little worried and were ready to go along, but Lianyi secretly made a gesture to reassure them, and after blinking, she set off with Pan Nuannuan.
"Sister Wang, what do you think Pan Nuannuan is planning? I always feel like she's not holding back on anything good."
Zheng Xin said while biting her fingernails.
Since they ate rabbit meat together, the three female educated youth became closer because of their common secret.
"Before, Lianyi treated Nuannuan as a friend, so she was not on guard against her. Now it's different. We have to trust her. If necessary, we will cooperate with her."
Wang Xiufen said.
"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Wang!"
On the other side, Lianyi and Pan Nuannuan went into the forest with the older children in the village who were collecting firewood. Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was very lively.
Pan Nuannuan, intentionally or unintentionally, directed the ripples to a remote place:
"Lianyi, come here quickly. There is a piece of bark that has fallen off by itself. Pick it up and our mission will be accomplished."
"Here you come! Why are you running so fast?"
Lianyi responded as she walked slowly. She moved her ears and heard a heavy breathing sound. The corners of her mouth curled up.
After she walked over, Pan Nuannuan deliberately exclaimed, then tilted her body and prepared to fall into the ditch beside her.
Lianyi raised her hand and flicked a stone, which hit her ankle directly, turning her fake fall into a real fall. She rolled deep into the tree gully and hit her head, causing her to faint.
At this time, Zhao Shuanzi, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped out and asked with a sincere face:
"Wu Zhiqing, I just heard someone shouting, is there anything wrong with you?"
"Brother Zhao, you came just in time. Please help me. Nuannuan fell into the ditch."
"What? Let me see!"
Zhao Shuanzi approached Lianyi very naturally, and then put his hand towards Lianyi's chest.
“Crack!”
“Woo!”
The next moment, two voices sounded at the same time.
See you tomorrow~
