Chapter 108 Complex People
Xia Qingyue paused while picking up chestnuts. "To be honest, I have the same guess."
Chen Yuzhen was surprised for a moment, and a fleeting ruthless light flashed in her eyes, "If it is really her, we must take this opportunity to get rid of her, and not leave any hidden dangers!"
Yes, Tan Xiaozhu is indeed a big hidden danger. She is like a rat in the gutter, hiding in the dark and spying on them with evil intentions. She must be eliminated.
"Aunt, I have thought of a plan. We will do this... this..."
The two men whispered a few words, then one of them dug a hole on the spot and found stones to build a frame to prepare for a fire, while the other one looked for dry firewood nearby.
After the fire was lit, the two men threw some chestnuts into the fire and roasted them slowly over a low fire so that they could be eaten when the hunters came back.
About an hour later, the men who were hunting came back, and today's harvest was not as much as yesterday's.
The Li family hunted three rabbits, two bamboo rats and two pheasants.
Han Zhibai hunted six rabbits and four pheasants.
They killed a rabbit and a pheasant and roasted them until they were golden and juicy, then sprinkled them with seasonings. Soon, the aroma wafted from miles away.
Tan Xiaozhu, who was hiding in the distance, smelled the delicious aroma of meat and swallowed her saliva with greed. She opened her eyes wide and watched Xia Qingyue and others chatting happily and eating meat with big mouthfuls.
"When you eat, don't eat the meat too cleanly, and don't leave too much. Spit out the bones here." Xia Qingyue held a large leaf of the weeping angel.
They were almost done eating and the person in the dark had not yet appeared. Xia Qingyue was certain that the other party's purpose was not just for food.
Assuming it was just for food, they were eating such delicious barbecue at the moment, and the other party was able to resist the temptation. Either he was not extremely hungry, or he had other purposes.
Taking advantage of the tall figures of the Li family father and son to block the view, Xia Qingyue quickly added ingredients to the bones.
After eating, they sat and rested for more than twenty minutes, then they took their things and went deeper into the woods.
After making sure that everyone had left, the starving Tan Xiaozhu emerged from the darkness and ran to the place where Xia Qingyue and the others were grilling meat. There was an extinguished but still smoking fire and a pile of scattered bones on the ground.
When she saw that the bone was not chewed clean and there was meat on it, her eyes suddenly lit up. She squatted down, grabbed the bone and put it in her mouth, while looking in the direction Xia Qingyue and the others left.
When she put the bones in her mouth, she could smell the fat of the meat and the aroma of the seasonings. It was the most delicious and fragrant food she had eaten in recent months.
She changed from holding the bone with one hand to holding it with both hands and putting it into her mouth, not caring about the sand on the bone.
As she was eating, she suddenly felt an itchy throat. She didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after a while, the itchiness became more and more uncomfortable, and her mouth and tongue became swollen, as if someone was strangling her neck, and she felt suffocated and couldn't breathe.
She opened her mouth and slapped her throat with both hands, but it was in vain. She felt more and more uncomfortable and weak.
With a bang, Tan Xiaozhu fell to the ground, wailing in pain, and curled up like a boiled shrimp.
At this time, Xia Qingyue and others ran over and surrounded Tan Xiaozhu.
Because Tan Xiaozhu's long hair covered her face and her appearance was not clear, they did not recognize her at first.
It was only when Li Weikang held a wooden arrow and pushed aside Tan Xiaozhu's hair that they could see clearly.
Except for Han Zhibai, Xia Qingyue and Chen Yuzhen, everyone else present was stunned with shock.
"Tan Xiaozhu, it's you!" Li Weisheng gritted his teeth, his eyes instantly turned red. He took out the machete from his waist and slashed at Tan Xiaozhu.
At this time, Tan Xiaozhu knew that she had fallen into a trap. When she saw the machete coming at her, fear appeared in her eyes. She quickly dodged to the side and rolled to Chen Dawei's feet. The knife behind her fell to the ground, chopping off mud.
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, someone pulled her hair up, causing her scalp to ache. She raised her head and was met with Chen Dawei's terrifying and fierce eyes.
"Qingyue, let's go to the front." Chen Yuzhen retracted her cold gaze and raised her hand to hold Xia Qingyue's arm.
Han Zhibai and Xiaobai followed them.
After walking for a distance, a shrill scream came from behind, which lasted twice and then stopped.
The surroundings returned to deathly silence.
Chen Yuzhen walked alone to a stone on the side and sat down with her back to the ground. Her shoulders trembled and sometimes she raised her hand to touch her face.
Xia Qingyue looked at the figure and sighed in her heart. Comfort would be of no use at this time. Instead, she needed some space alone to slowly digest the problem.
Han Zhibai looked to the other side, gazing at the mountains and forests in the distance.
He was so quiet and didn't ask a single question, which made Xia Qingyue curious, "Don't you find it strange?"
"They know the woman. She is guilty and afraid. She must have had a reason for doing that."
She nodded and looked up at Han Zhibai.
From this angle, we can see his angular profile. Since we met, his expression has been calm and peaceful, like a still lake without ripples. He looks like an ice flower blooming on a towering iceberg.
He gives people a feeling of being out of reach, but sometimes what he says and does are surprising.
What a complicated person...
It would take a while for the Li family to arrive, so Xia Qingyue sat down on the spot. There were clusters of wild flowers in bloom around her. She picked a few and played with them in her hands.
Heihei followed suit, opened his mouth and bit off a few small wild flowers, held the roots in his mouth, and gave the flowers to Xiaobai.
Xia Qingyue's eyes widened as she looked at Heihei with a strange look in her eyes, "No way, how can you do this? Don't tell me I taught you."
Heihei, who gave the flowers away, stood in front of Xiaobai and smiled foolishly.
Xiaobai lowered his head and raised his foot to fiddle with the flowers in front of him.
"Let me put it on you." She suddenly had an idea and pinned the flower behind Xiaobai's ear.
Xiaobai's fur is white and the flowers are yellow and blue, which makes the combination of colors bright.
"Wow, Xiaobai, it's really pretty." She looked up and asked Han Zhibai, "Look, is it pretty?"
Han Zhibai's eyes swept from her face to Xiaobai. After thinking for a few moments, he nodded gently and answered honestly: "It looks good."
After waiting for about half an hour, Li Benfu and his friends finally showed up. They went deep into the woods. No one spoke on the way and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Until they found a walnut tree in the woods.
Unfortunately, there were not many walnuts left. There were some on the trees and a few on the ground. They guessed that the animals in the forest had taken the walnuts.
Li Weikang climbed up the tree to pick walnuts, while the others started searching around the tree.
"I don't know if this kind of walnut is easy to crack. There is a kind of walnut that is very difficult to crack. Once you crack it, the walnut kernel inside will break into pieces."
Xia Qingyue picked up a stone to crack the walnut. Seeing a crack, she tried to break it open with her hands. Fortunately, it was not difficult to break it open and the walnut kernel fell out.
She took a bite and found it quite delicious.
All the walnuts were collected and the basket was full.
