eat, dance, love

A squirrel snake was swimming slowly under his feet.This kind of snake is not poisonous and has a relatively docile temperament. Generally, it will not attack people easily.Just swam here, probably because of the dense grass and lack of popularity.

But even if it is not poisonous, for Gu Yu, who grew up in a northern city and has never seen insects, ants and mice, it is scary enough to see a cold snake right under his feet, about to climb up leisurely. human.

"Don't be afraid, don't move." I whispered to him, and opened my palm to him, pressing down slightly, so that he could relieve his tension with my body language.

Then he gave Huang Tianxiang a look.Huang Tianxiang understood immediately, and walked away carefully, looking for suitable branches in the fruit forest.

While paying attention to the movement of the squirrel snake, I continued to comfort Gu Yu with my eyes.

The squirrel snake was innocent and ignorant, wrapped around Gu Yu's feet without any sense of danger, circled twice, and raised its head.At this time, Huang Tianxiang came back, holding a branch with a hairpin in his hand.

The movement made by his walking startled the squirrel snake.As soon as the little guy relaxed, he was about to hide in the grass, Huang Tianxiang suddenly yelled, and rushed over.

A person and a snake are extremely sensitive.I saw Huang Tianxiang poked a branch in the grass three times quickly, and he got something.Then bent down, pinched the snake seven inches to pick up the little guy.

"Take it back and stew it for seven!" He said excitedly, looking at me expectantly with bright eyes, "Brother Xu, will you cook?"

I:"……"

I didn't want to say anything for the time being, I ignored him and reached out to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu instinctively responded to my movements, crossed his two arms, and then pressed his whole body over.

"Are you okay?" I put my arms around him and felt him trembling slightly.

"I..." He hesitated to speak, and looked up at me, his face still pale and complicated.After a while, he said awkwardly, "Brother Xu, my legs are weak, I really don't want to walk anymore."

It is not an easy task for a big man to admit that his legs are weak after being frightened by a snake - I can tell from his shameful and aggrieved eyes.

At this moment, my mood can be expressed in a sentence of Internet language: I feel a little distressed, but I really want to laugh.But my gut tells me it's best not to laugh.

"Then, I'll carry you on my back." I coughed lightly to cover up my smile, then turned my back to him and squatted halfway.

He hesitated for a while, and finally climbed up my back submissively as Huang Tianxiang and Squirrel Snake stared blankly at him.

We turned down the mountain, and Huang Tianxiang took this accident as a harvest, and kept talking excitedly, in Mandarin for a while, and local dialect for a while.I would occasionally answer twice, but Gu Yu remained silent.

He didn't know whether it was because he had lingering fears or was in a bad mood. At first, he resisted me to recite it to save face.After climbing up, he soon became a little bit of a broken attitude, hugging my neck, lying on my back very relaxedly, and laying his head on my shoulder from time to time, looking sleepy and bored.

At the foot of the mountain, he breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered in my ear: "He won't say anything, let's go back to Haibao."

After speaking, he tilted his head and rested his face on my shoulder.I can feel him looking at me without turning my head, and I can imagine his expression.

At this moment, a photo he once posted on Weibo suddenly appeared in my mind.It was a magazine photo, taken very close and clear, with a half-face, long eyelashes, and a texture like feathers.

"Are you okay? Let's go back." He begged a little coquettishly again, and his breath fell on my neck, which was warm, as if it contained ambiguous feelings that made people feel uneasy.

I tried my best to relax the involuntary tightness of my throat and said, "Okay."

Knowing the accident on the mountain and my decision, the Huang family also expressed their understanding.Originally Huang Tianxiang wanted to kill the snake in his hometown, but now he had to find a bag to put the live creature in.

He originally wanted to put that guy in the back seat, but Gu Yu strongly opposed it.

"Brother Xu, sit behind me and ask him to put that thing on the passenger seat, so he can see it." Gu Yu opened the car door and pulled me into the back seat.

He has come out of the previous sense of fear, and he has regained that righteous and subtle self-centered posture in his expression, and I am relieved.

I got into the back seat with him. After the car drove from the village to the road, he said he was sleepy and looked at me.

I understood what he meant, he wanted to lie down and sleep.

However, according to my visual inspection, the space in the car cannot fulfill his wish, and said: "It's too narrow here, it's uncomfortable to lie down."

"It's better than sitting. I'm a little dizzy, probably because I was scared just now, and I don't want to sit anymore," he said.

All right.I just nodded.

He put his head on my leg and lay down.He was so tall that his long legs stuck up on the seat.But seeing him humming an unknown melody while playing with his mobile phone is quite pleasant.

I said, "Aren't you sleepy?"

"Don't you have to play with your phone for a while before going to bed? Aren't you a modern young man?" He said nonchalantly, twisting his body to find a more comfortable position, rubbing his head on my lap, and scratching his neck from time to time.

...I feel that what lies in my lap is not a head, but a fire.

When he first came to Haibao, his hair was quite short.Almost a month has passed now, my hair has grown a lot, and my whole head is so fluffy that people can't help but want to touch it.

I have to hold back.

The more he played on this phone, the happier he was. After a few minutes, there was no sign of being sleepy at all, and he started the video without worrying about the traffic at all.Listening to the voice is broadcasting a social news report.

While watching, he sighed and shook his head.

My heart was overwhelmed, and it melted to the surface, and there was only a sigh: "Can you stop moving? If you don't want to get up, don't sleep."

During the conversation, I looked at his head for a long time, picked a position that should not offend him, and poked it with my finger to attract his attention.

"Ah?" He stopped shaking his head, moved his phone away, looked down, and blinked, "I'm going to sleep right away, playing on my phone for 10 minutes isn't too long, I'm just checking the time!"

I was speechless and in great pain, I curled my lips helplessly, and replied "Oh" as calmly as possible.

Then, put my hand between his bag and my...belly, spaced out to prevent some unnecessary contact.

I knew this move was dangerous—either it would draw his attention, or it would expose my guilt.But otherwise, it might be more embarrassing.The power of two evils, I still choose the embarrassment of lower cost.

In order to minimize the presence of this action, I took the initiative to find a topic: "What are you looking at?"

"Just one piece of news, so ups and downs, that novels dare not write like that. It was said that a motorcycle stopped a taxi on the road, and the big man on the motorcycle insulted the taxi driver when he got off, and the two had a quarrel. After the quarrel was over , the motorcycle guy was about to leave, but he suddenly had a heart attack. No one at the scene could resuscitate him, so he died. What's even more incredible is that the taxi driver was subsequently issued an arrest warrant by the procuratorate, and was taken away by the police uncle , saying that he made a mistake and caused death. Isn’t it absurd for you to say this? People scold you and return a few words. If a person dies, he has to be responsible. If I die in your arms now, don’t you have to..." [1]

He suddenly closed his mouth, first looked at my face strangely, then shifted his gaze, and glanced at my hand, which was trying to isolate the contact naturally... We stared at each other for a while as if we were dumbfounded.

I had nothing to say, and I stepped in front of "the biggest embarrassment in my life, maybe not one of them". He stepped on my embarrassment, surprised and funny, and tried to pretend to face me.

I was thinking, let him lie down like this...

Of course, if he is kind, he should get up immediately, immediately, now, be dignified, and not show any behavior that induces or stimulates.

However, he is not kind.

"Xu'er?" He called softly, using a Beijing dialect accent, the word "er" sounded soft and hasty, and rubbed the back of my hand with the back of his hand holding the phone.

I didn't respond, and a word came to my mind for no reason: Riding a tiger is hard to get off.

Although it has nothing to do with the immediate situation.

Seeing that I ignored him, he became even more interested, moved his head, and directly hit the back of my hand... On the other side of the palm, I reacted without any resistance.And he stared at my face with great interest, taking a panoramic view of my embarrassment and panic, and then he was as happy as a child who succeeded in pranking.

No, it's like a goblin who teased an honest scholar.

... Who the hell wants to be an honest scholar.

It's all involuntary.

After torturing me like this for a while, he still had some conscience and sat up.He didn't laugh at me, and didn't say much else, he just quietly leaned against the other side of the car window and continued playing with his phone.

I stared out the window, confusedly crossing the scenery that I was familiar with, but now I don’t seem to know, and it took a long time to calm down.

Back in Haibao, we all tacitly pretended nothing had happened, he went back to his homestay, and I went back to my food stall.

Huang Tianxiang continued pestering me to make snake soup. I wasn't in the mood at first, but thinking that this was one thing to ease my entanglement and shame, I finally agreed.

In exchange, Huang Tianxiang immediately went to his uncle who is a dermatologist and got me two medicines for skin allergies. When Gu Yu scratched his neck, I saw that he seemed to be showing signs of allergies.

Alas, beauty misleads the country +1.

While I was thinking wildly, I started to make snake soup. This is a delicacy with a rather troublesome process. The trouble is mainly in cleaning the snake meat.

I took it as a reason to calm down, carefully butchered that squirrel snake, shredded the meat, removed the bones, and cleaned it up.Then stir-fry with lard, supplemented by various seasonings.

Wait for the fresh aroma to come out, and then switch to steaming to continue cooking.At this time, add shredded local chicken, shredded shiitake mushrooms, shredded carp maw, fungus, add water, and simmer slowly.

After more than two hours of back and forth, it was finally on the table.

I took a portion out of a porcelain cup, took the allergy medicine that Huang Tianxiang wanted to bring back, and sent it to the hotel.I don't know what kind of psychology I have, but I just think that he seems to be allergic, and I feel a little unnecessary but lingering worry.

Zheng Jiabao's mother, Aunt Huang, is the owner of the homestay.

When she saw me, she knew she was looking for Gu Yu, and said, "Ms. Gu said that she was going to sleep as soon as she came back, and she also told me not to call him before five o'clock. I will give you the things later."

...He was kind for the first time, so I don't need to try harder to save face with him.

So I left the porcelain cup and medicine behind, and went back with ease.
