Dedicated to the silly little white artist

The two originally planned to take a nap and continue playing, but because of Mr. Bai's unreasonable playing of cards, Zheng He was so tired that he fell asleep until after five o'clock in the afternoon.

Zheng He was very unhappy, wrapped himself in a quilt, and sulked secretly while facing the wall.

The temperature on the mountain was still very cold, Bai En's quilt was swept away by Zheng He, he put down the book in his hand, got out of bed and took out a spare blanket from the cabinet, thought for a while and asked Zheng He: "Are you cold? Are you cold here?" There is one."

Zheng He ignored him.

Bai En pushed Zheng He: "Show your head, bored."

"No." Zheng He replied quickly without thinking.

"You seem to be in a bad mood. What's the matter? Tell me, okay?" Bai En's voice still remained hoarse after the affair, Zheng He covered his ears, his face flushed instantly, and he suddenly remembered what happened before Those things Mr. Bai did to him and those words made people blush and heartbeat: "Can you not talk to me with this voice?" Zheng He shouted.

"What's wrong with my voice? Tell me..." Bai En didn't understand, smiled lightly and covered the quilt, pulling Zheng He out of the quilt.

"I don't want to talk to you." Zheng He said angrily, "Is it fun for you to bully me?"

"It's fun." Bai En smiled lightly.

Bai En also knew that what he did was a bit too much today, and accompanied Zheng He to watch the scenery on the mountain. If the mountain wind was not too strong, he would still want to take Zheng He to the small pavilion on the top of the mountain. The sunset at this time is very beautiful.

Walking on the elegant bluestone path, Zheng He sniffed while looking down at the photo he took on his phone just now, Bai En took off his coat and put it on for him, Zheng He said: "No need."

"Aren't you cold? Put it on, you have to walk for a while before you can go back."

Zheng He finally moved his eyes from the phone to Bai En's face, and said, "You gave me your clothes, aren't you cold? They are all men, what are you doing, I don't need your clothes."

It was the first time that Bai En discovered Zheng He's stubbornness. Although he knew that he was at fault for this matter, he still felt unbearable. He had already considered Zheng He's mood in this way, and tried to make up for it, but Zheng He But treated his thoughtfulness in the cruelest way.Hearing Zheng He's answer, Bai En's breathing was stagnant, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak. After a while, he said coldly: "Well, do as you like." After speaking, he threw his clothes on the ground and walked away. The legs walked briskly.

Zheng He just looked at the photos again and had no time to talk to the man. He looked at the man's attitude inexplicably. He put the phone back in his pocket and bent down to pick up the man's clothes. After thinking about it, he put it on. He looked ahead, the mountain road was winding, and Mr. Bai was no longer visible: "Oops... how do you go back." He was a little distressed: "What's going on... Hey, uncle has a really bad temper."

Walking along the path for a while, Zheng He suddenly saw a man with a tall and straight figure standing at the intersection beside him, his hair was meticulously combed behind his head, and Zheng He was addicted to the naughty smile that had been slightly evoked all year round. in his pupils.

Bai En didn't look back, he could tell from the sound of his feet that Zheng He was coming, and he was very annoyed now.One is that Zheng He dared to treat him with such a cold attitude, and the other is that in such a situation, he was afraid that Zheng He would not find his way back, so he waited for him here!

What a shame.

Bai En felt uncomfortable, but still had a smile on his face, and said to Zheng He, "Go this way."

Zheng He asked blankly: "What happened to you just now?"

Bai En lowered his expression and said, "I should ask you about this matter."

Zheng He took out the phone, put it into Mr. Bai's hands, and told him like the parents who put their children in other people's homes: "There are many important things in this phone, don't break it, remember to return it to me."

Bai En frowned: "What are you giving me this for?"

"Hand it over." Zheng He said, "Isn't it because I was too busy playing with my phone to ignore you? Look, I gave you the most important things. Don't be angry this time." A smile that he thinks is very sunny: "Smile? Don't be angry, okay?"

Bai En really couldn't laugh: "You think it's because of this?"

"Isn't it?" Zheng He was full of doubts.

Now Bai En finally knew that Zheng He's attitude just now was not intentional at all, and he suddenly felt that his impulsiveness just now had become ridiculous.

Ugh.

Bai En's one-sided small conflict disappeared invisible in Zheng He's Huagumian palm. The two talked and laughed and held hands and went back to the building. Zheng He held his stomach and shouted hungry. The fish was used as the material for dinner, so he said, "It should be fish tonight."

Zheng He asked, "How do you know? Is there a menu here?"

Bai En shook his head: "The fish are the ones I caught during the day. If you have any special cravings or requests, you can write them on the paper at the front desk, and write the room number and your name underneath."

"So that's how it is." Zheng He said, "I wanted to ask you where you kept those fish, to see if I could bring them back."

"We're going to be here five days and the fish should be dead."

"Let's put it in the water." Zheng He spoke plausibly, but then said disappointedly: "Since they have already fallen on someone else's cutting board, forget it. I wanted you to see my superb knife skills."

After Zheng He said this, Bai En suddenly remembered that after a fishbone got stuck in his throat accidentally, Zheng He would help himself pick out the fishbone before eating fish, or simply choose the fishbone-free species.

At night, Bai Enyiyan came to the room that Jiezi had reserved before, there was no one in it, only a mobile phone was placed on the table, and it was ringing right now.

Picking up the phone, he said: [Bai Dong, we are under surveillance. 】Bai En squinted his eyes and looked out of the window. In the opposite building, a window was slightly opened, and silver was faintly flashing under the moonlight.

"Mr. Bai, what are you looking at?" Zheng He asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Bai En returned to his senses, looked at Zheng He who was wearing a rain hat and was trying to poke the bottom of the water with a bamboo pole, and smiled: "Look at the scenery, isn't it beautiful?"

At this time, they were boating in the large paddy field of the farmhouse.

The sky was gloomy, and it was drizzling, and a large piece of fern had matured. The fern leaves were slightly shaken by the rain, and they were green and lovely. In the water beside them, there were already fat crabs. Zheng He didn't know where he got the news. , I borrowed a moored boat, and I was turning over stones with a bamboo pole on the one hand, and was carrying crabs in a boat basket at the same time.

"Can you catch it?" Bai En was very suspicious.

Zheng He wiped the rainwater off his face, emptied the water in the boat basket, and said confidently, "Yes, just wait and see."

"I remember using fishing nets." Bai En said.

Zheng He said: "But the above said that we only need a boat basket and a waterproof flashlight."

"What is the flashlight used for?"

"I don't know, so I didn't bring it."

Bai En looked at the water under the boat, and occasionally saw a few crabs that were surprised by Zheng He and wandered around. The boat has been refitted, no one needs to push the boat, just adjust the direction at any time, but the speed is really fast. It's astonishingly slow, Bai En reckons that he is several times faster than it when he jumps to swim now.

Zheng He has been busy for a long time, and it really is a blind cat who has encountered a dead mouse. He was washing the basket, and a crab with more than one or two feet ran in rampantly. Zheng He was so happy that he kept showing off to Bai En That poor crab: "Look! How big is it, am I amazing?"

Bai En was also a little interested by Zheng He's joy, and suggested: "I will help you carry the crabs in a bamboo basket, and you get the crabs out in front, and we will cooperate."

"Okay, okay!" Zheng He happily put the crabs in the basket into a bucket, put a wire cover on it, squatted on the bow of the boat, and said, "Come on, stand behind me."

"Yeah." Bai En wiped the deck of the boat clean with paper, and it was soaked by rainwater before he sat down. He wiped it again tirelessly, until Zheng He couldn't help but use his body to block the rainwater for him. He looked up at Zheng He , Put away the paper, sit down, and put the boat basket in the water.

Mr. Bai was obviously better than Zheng He in his manual skills. After a while, several more bamboo baskets were pocketed in the bamboo basket. At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it hit the plastic raincoat he was wearing. Tired, I yelled to go back and cook crabs.

Bai En slowly turned the bow of the boat, and when he passed a two-meter-tall bracken leaf, he glanced over there as if inadvertently, and smiled. A wisp of reddish-brown liquid slowly flowed out from the green fern leaves...

On the third day at the farmhouse, Bai En found a bug in the carpet under the bed. He took the bug and walked to the bed. He wanted to stick it to the wall, but when he looked down, there was another bug under the window sill.

Bai En thinks these people are really interesting.

Install the bug in their bedroom, what do they want to hear, what can they say to Zheng He, can they make a bed?

Zheng He pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Bai, I just saw other guests downstairs." In the past few days, except for some staff members who appeared due to Bai En's needs, Zheng He didn't even see anyone. I thought it was scary, there were only him and Bai En in such a big place, but I got used to it later, and even thought it was nice to be so quiet.

With a thought in his mind, Bai En asked, "Who is it?"

"I don't know, the men are quite old." Zheng He sat on the chair and began to guess subjectively: "I think they must be quite rich, what do you think?"

"Maybe, how many people did you see?"

Zheng He thought for a while: "Five... or six? I didn't see clearly, anyway, there are so many, they are one piece, I just glanced casually, but didn't look carefully."

Bai En said: "I remember that the hot spring here is good, let's try it later?"

"We'll talk about it after dinner," Zheng He said softly lying on the bed, "I'm tired today and want to sleep for a while."

"Hmm..." Bai En stroked Zheng He's head: "Let's take a break."

Zheng He put his head on Bai En's hand next to him, covering his eyes.
