Just remember

Hang Minghao still has one to two days to arrive, which means that five people including Hang Mingzhe need to set up camp in Wangjia Village at least until then.But right now Qi Wanguan's dry food has been exhausted, and Guo Pan, Chun Jinran and Pei Xiaoyi have never prepared such things at the beginning of their careers. During the three-day and three-night chase, they either had wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, or asked good-hearted passers-by to ask for help. Drink some water, it is unbelievable to be able to persist until now, so the hope of survival falls on Hang Mingzhe.

In the end, under the oppression of Ba Dao's green eyes, Hang Mingzhe reluctantly took out his precious rations from the luggage basket carried on the horse's back.As a result, he didn't get any gratitude for his sincere treatment, and instead bumped into four dumbfounded faces, as if what he brought out was not food but rare birds and animals, so the third young master of the Hang family, who was already distressed, became more and more unhappy : "What's that look on your face? I've never seen a food box before!"

Yes, what the third young master of the Hang family took out was neither a cloth bag nor a paper bag, but a red sandalwood carved three-layer food box.

But who will pack dry food in a food box when traveling far away!Are you here to pick up the "suspect"? Didn't you have a romantic relationship with some lady!

Just when the four of them wanted to beat this dude, he opened the lid of the food box without hesitation, took out the three inner boxes one by one, and laid them out one by one. Maybe he was reluctant in his heart, but what he did was always generous: " Forget it, I don’t have the same knowledge as you, so hurry up and eat.”

The four of them looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little ashamed, after all, taking advantage of people's short hands to eat people's mouths... Let them give this guy a hard blow!It's really intolerable!I saw that the three inner boxes were full, but stuffed inside—the jujube paste osmanthus cake from Wanguanglou, the red bean and glutinous rice balls from Fuyuanlou, the assorted lotus cake from Babaolou, and the rock sugar plum cake from Haitianlou. Gorgeous, like a gathering of heroes in the dim sum world, the decisive battle of the restaurant!

"Third Young Master, I'll just ask," Qi Wanguan confided on behalf of everyone, "Is there anything sweet?"

"Of course, they are all sweet and cloying," Hang Mingzhe pointed to the second row from the top of the third inner box proudly, "Here, Cui Fuji's secret hawthorn cake!"

Qi Wanguan: "..."

Guo Juan: "..."

Chun Jinran: "..."

Pei Xiaoyi: "Where is my whip?"

The most tragic thing in the world is not hunger, but hunger.

The first to lose was Guo Pan, a red bean and glutinous rice dumpling was enough.Followed by Pei Xiaoyi, two pieces of date paste osmanthus cake, died in battle.Next is Chun Jinran, three ice sugar plum cakes, and I don't want to eat sweets for half a year.Finally, Qi Wanguan, four assorted lotus crisps, finished chewing with tears in his eyes.

In fact, it’s not that the men in the rivers and lakes are hypocritical. The signature dim sum of major restaurants are definitely worthy of the deliciousness of the world, but it has always been the daughter’s family who likes sweets.That's the case, usually one or two yuan is the limit.There is no tea now, but the desserts are not repeated. Who can hold on, who can persist?

Well, the third son of the Hang family is an exception.

"You don't want to try this haw jelly again? It's really delicious, sour and sweet, it melts in your mouth!" Hang Mingzhe threw a second piece of haw jelly into his mouth as he spoke.Of course, before that, he didn't just watch everyone eat, he had already wiped out a few pieces of cakes, large and small.

"It's hard for you, you can collect so many." Chun Jinran admired it sincerely, and finally took a sip of the melted snow water to dilute the sweetness in his mouth.

"What is this? There are still several dim sums that I haven't had time to buy," Hang Mingzhe said while gesticulating excitedly, "If I didn't go out in a hurry, my mother could bring me four big food boxes!"

The four present looked at each other... what is there to be proud of!

Due to being physically and mentally exhausted by the pampered third son, several of them stopped talking and waited quietly for the other party to finish eating and cover the food box, finally ending this nightmare breakfast.

According to the time, the sun should be three poles high at this moment, but the sun only came up for a while when Hang Mingzhe arrived, and then hid in the clouds and refused to come out again.The sky is gloomy again, and the wind is picking up. Everything seems to be the same as yesterday. The only difference is that yesterday's ground is still loess, but today it is covered with snow.But under this gray sky, the snow also seemed to be cast a shadow.

"Should there be a second round?" Qi Wanguan poked his head out to look at the sky, a little worried.

Hang Mingzhe, who had just settled the horses in the backyard, was about to step into the house. Hearing this, he was stunned, and even forgot to put down his legs in mid-air: "It's still snowing?! We will be frozen to death!"

Guo Pan didn't bother to talk to him, so he got up and walked out: "I'll go to another house to see, maybe I can find some firewood."

"I'll go with you." Pei Xiaoyi volunteered for the first time.

Chun Jinran was very surprised, subconsciously said: "You must have some kind of conspiracy, right?"

Pei Xiaoyi glanced at him, neither salty nor dull: "I just don't want to die here."

Chun Jinran wanted to say that if I hadn't interceded for you to loosen your ties, you might have died last night, and you would be half disabled if you didn't die, how could you persist until now?But the words swirled around his lips several times, and finally turned into: "I will go with you too."

Seeing that all three of them got up, Qi Wanguan couldn't help but look at him, and only got: "Count me in."

Then the third young master of the Hang family was not happy: "How can you leave me here alone, what should I do if I meet bad people!"

In the end, no matter what thoughts each had, the five of them acted together.However, in order to improve efficiency, the five were divided into two groups, Guo Pan and Pei Xiaoyi were in a group, Chun Jinran and Qi Wanguan were in a group, and Hang Mingzhe was free, so this guy followed Chun Jinran and Qi Wanguan.

In fact, the reason for this grouping was tacitly understood by everyone—Chun Jinran and Pei Xiaoyi were still "suspected murderers", so naturally they couldn't act alone—but no one said anything about it.When survival becomes the top priority, grievances and hatred are temporarily ignored.

Wangjiacun is a half-moon-shaped village, and the big house where five people live is in the middle, so the two groups went to things and searched from house to house.

Chun Jinran's group went very well, just found the fourth family, and harvested half a bundle of firewood and an oil lamp, so Qi Wanguan sent the things back first, so as not to have more harvest later. Hang Mingzhe Watching Chun Jinran continue to search.

The fifth household is also a poor family, not to mention the bare walls, it is almost the same.Chun Jinran turned around inside and outside the house, but he didn't find anything useful, so he was about to leave and go to the next house, but unexpectedly, Hang Mingzhe behind him suddenly said: "I heard that my sister died in your arms. "

When Hang Mingzhe said this, he was very close to Chun Jinran, almost against his back, so the deep voice and breath passed behind Chun Jinran's ears together, causing a shudder.

Chun Jinran froze there, and after a long time, he turned his head with difficulty. He thought he was going to meet Yan Luo's eyes, but he didn't want Hang Mingzhe to look like he was not promising. When he saw him turning his head back, he smiled flatteringly: Shall I talk?"

Chun Jinran sighed, shook off those weird feelings, and seriously recalled what happened that night for the first time: "Actually, Miss Hang didn't die in my arms. The first thought I had when I found her was to kill her." Carry her into the inn for medical treatment, but as soon as I picked her up, I found that she had... Maybe the neck injury was too serious, when she fell..."

Chun Jinran couldn't bear to say any more.

Perhaps Hang Mingzhe is a dou who cannot be supported, but he is by no means a cold-blooded and heartless brother.Even if there was no obvious grief on his face, even if there was no burning hatred in his eyes, for some reason, Chun Jinran dared to be so sure.

"What did she look like when she left?"

Just when Chun Jinran thought that Hang Mingzhe would ask Hang Yueyao about everything before and after the accident in detail in order to find clues, the other party suddenly asked him a question that caught him off guard.

Chun Jinran didn't know why Hang Mingzhe asked this, and likewise, he didn't know whether he should tell the truth.

As if seeing through his worries, Hang Mingzhe tried his best to pull the corners of his mouth, showing a bit of a bitter smile: "I just want to know if it was painful for her to go. It's ridiculous to say it. I came all the way, and I didn't think about it a few times The murderer, I spend most of my time thinking about what my sister will look like when she leaves. Unwilling? Fear? Pain? Sadness?"

"No, no, neither." Chun Jinran didn't need to lie about this, if Hang Mingzhe didn't care about the wound, didn't want to ask about the clothes, and only cared about Hang Yueyao's expression at the last moment, then he could say, "Miss Hang walked very peacefully. "

Hang Mingzhe didn't believe it: "No angry eyes? No panic and pain?"

"No!" Chun Jinran really wanted to kill this prodigal bastard, did he hope that his sister would die in peace!But in spite of himself, he continued, "The rain washed her face very clean, and there was no trace of blood. She closed her eyes, as if she was asleep."

Hang Mingzhe looked at Chun Jinran fixedly, as if he wanted to find some flaws in the other's face.But he failed. In Chun Jinran's eyes, apart from the compassion for the deceased, there was only a clear and magnanimous heart.

Finally, Hang Mingzhe shrugged and spit out three words: "That's good."

Chun Jinran watched Hang Mingzhe pass him and leave the room first, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Such an important topic ended indifferently like this? !The problem is that Hang Mingzhe didn't ask anything really useful!For example, the environment before and after Hang Yueyao was murdered, or abnormal phenomena, if you ask about the shape of the wound, you can find the murder weapon. What's the use of just asking about the remains!Moreover, I didn't even ask about the face of the deceased, just asked about the facial expression, it was really wanting nothing!

The only thing that is gratifying is that Hang Mingzhe's three words "that's good" really bring a sense of relief.

Chun Jinran thought, maybe in the heart of this unmotivated brother, it is more important than who is the real culprit that the girl's death is not painful and unwilling.
