Chapter 23 The Great Caribbean

Thanks to Yan Jinyun's blessing, Mrs. Chen was in a coma for half the night.

He Taki still led Zhong Xiaowen to search around the wooden house patiently, but he couldn't find anyone, so he had to give up for now.Everyone's already not relaxed mood became even more depressed.

It was approaching dinner time, Mrs. Chen couldn't get up, and the girls looked at each other in blank dismay.

Tang Menglei: "I can only kill pigs but not cook!"

Guo Cheng: "I can't even tell the difference between sugar and salt..."

Zhong Xiaowen raised his hand tremblingly: "I can cook instant noodles!"

Yan Jinyun let out a long sigh when He Taki touched his forehead.

Unexpectedly, in the end it was Police Officer He who rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.

I thought that He Long was a young official who didn't touch the sun with his fingers, but he didn't expect to be decent when he did his work. Yan Jinyun felt a little bit sorry for some reason, so he took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help He Long, but he just reached out He Taki gave him a hard look when he went to get the kitchen knife.

"Stand away."

Apparently, Officer He was worried that he would do something with the knife, Yan Jinyun's hand froze in mid-air, and then retracted angrily.

He retreated to the corner with his hands behind his back, feeling aggrieved, so he started to talk about nothing: "Do you still know how to cook?"

"A little bit, not as proficient as Mrs. Chen." He Taki set the pot on fire.

"Do you want me to call Zhong Xiaowen in to help?"

"Forget it, it's good if you don't make trouble." He Taki said helplessly: "If you really love me, go and help me keep an eye on them, and don't let them run around anymore."

Yan Jinyun muttered, "I don't feel bad", and walked out of the kitchen very honestly.

He went back to the hall and saw Chen Zhan coming out of Mrs. Chen's room.

There is only one big room upstairs, where Mrs. Chen and Zhong Xiaowen live, and there are three cramped small single rooms left. Because of Chen Gu and Zhao Gui's departure, two rooms are vacant.

"Brother Yan." Tang Menglei suggested crisply: "You and Officer He might as well move here and live with the big guy!"

Yan Jinyun pointed to a closed door at the end of the corridor and asked, "Who lives there?"

"Oh, an uncle who can't see the wind." Tang Menglei said.

"Can't see the wind?"

"Yeah." Tang Menglei said quickly, "He's been suffocating in his room for several days, and he doesn't feel too bored."

Yan Jinyun narrowed his eyes.

"It's more convenient to move here." He said meaningfully: "I'll discuss it with Officer He, and we will move later."

However, before Yan Jinyun and He Long moved in, Chen Gu and Zhao Gui came back.

When it was getting dark, the two knocked on the door of the big wooden house, and it was Chen Zhan who opened the door. Immediately, they shouted in surprise and joy, and everyone followed the sound.

"Everyone!" Chen Gu shouted excitedly: "We are back from Yemo Village! The enthusiastic villagers heard about our difficulties and specially asked us to bring food!"

Zhao Gui put a few small sacks on the ground, opened his mouth, and mung beans and millet leaked out. Everyone hadn't seen human food for a long time, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Chen Gu said again: "The villagers welcome us as guests very much, they said—"

"What are you wearing?" Yan Jinyun interrupted him abruptly.

Only then did everyone realize that the cotton coats worn by Chen Gu and Zhao Gui were gone, and replaced by two germanium-colored long robes of rare shape.

"This is the winter clothes provided by the villagers. This robe is cold and windproof, and warmer than cotton clothes." Chen Gu said, "Everyone, we should have gone to Yemo Village a long time ago. There is hot soup, comfortable beds and quilts there. It's like heaven on earth-"

"I don't know, but I thought you were from their village." Yan Jinyun smiled lukewarmly.

Chen Gu's face froze unnaturally, and he said with a dry smile, "You really know how to joke..."

Yan Jinyun didn't speak anymore, and He Long didn't express his opinion. No one dared to speak, so they could only store the grain that Chen Gu brought back.

In the evening they ate a meal of mung bean and millet porridge. The mild liquid food made the eye sockets of several constipated middle-aged people moist. Chen Gu took the opportunity to exaggerate a few words, and the people who were hesitant to speak finally couldn't hold back.

"Let's go." A middle-aged man wearing glasses said first.

"Haven't Chen Gu and Lao Zhao already explored the way? They are safe. Why don't you go?"

"Yeah, where should I wait? If this continues, I'm going to get sick." Others echoed.

This time Tang Menglei and Mrs. Chen did not stand up to object either, they just looked at the faces of He Long and Yan Jinyun cautiously.

Zhong Xiaowen was very nervous.

On the one hand, she hoped that He Taki would persevere, but on the other hand, she worried that everyone would fall apart because of He Taki's arbitrariness.

The pressure flowing in the air is still, as if twisted into a tight string, which will break at the touch of a touch.

After an unknown amount of time, He Taki finally said, "You can go."

Everyone showed joyful expressions of relief, and He Taki said again: "But we have to wait until dawn."

"It's okay, it's easy to talk about."

"It's not easy to walk at night! Haha!"

He Taki pinched the bridge of his nose, leaned back on the chair showing a little tiredness.

Yan Jinyun stared sideways at his side face tainted by sorrow, and crossed his arms gloatingly: "What? Do you think you made a mistake in your judgment? So you feel sorry?"

He Long ignored him.

Yan Jinyun restrained his listless expression, pursed his lips, leaned against He Taki, and nudged him with his elbow.

"Mediocrity." His tone unknowingly became gentle and soft: "Actually, even if you do it all over again, I still support you in making the same decision."

"Why?" He Taki's eyelids lifted a little, his deep pupils moved sideways, and he fixedly stared at him: "I'll give you a chance to comfort me."

Yan Jinyun: "."

He stared at this shameless He surnamed for a while, and racked his brains to say: "At least... you got a chance to show off your cooking skills."

He Taki laughed with a "puchi".

"Let's forget this kind of reason." He reached out and rubbed Yan Jinyun's head, and he seemed to be in a better mood: "Go, go back and pack your things."

A group of people embarked on the road to Yemo Village full of joy.

Chen Gu and Zhao Gui led the team in front, although it was still windy and snowy, everyone was talking and laughing.

Yan Jinyun walked at the end of the team, keeping his head down. He Taki slowed down and walked side by side with him, asking softly, "What are you thinking?"

"I always feel that Chen Gu and Zhao Gui are weird."

He Long knew that he suspected that Zhao Gui was the perpetrator, so he didn't show too much surprise: "How to say?"

"Chen Gu and Zhao Gui are both utterly selfish people. They must have discussed that night to abandon everyone and wait for death before leaving together. They finally arrived at a paradise, why did they take such a hard risk How about coming back? You won’t come here just to hit you and me in the face, right?” Yan Jinyun said in a low voice, “And after he came back, he hardly made eye contact with Mrs. Chen and Chen Zhan, just like a stranger, always preaching That Yemo Village is so good, I don’t believe it if he found out his conscience and wanted to save Mrs. Chen and Chen Zhan. He didn’t even plan to save Mrs. Chen and Chen Zhan, and we strangers are even more insignificant.”

He Taki pinched his chin with one hand.

"If you wanted to encourage this group of people to go to a place with you, what would you say?"

"I found my way back there." Yan Jinyun replied without thinking.

He Taki nodded: "Yes, this is the most convincing reason. I always feel that Chen Gu has put the cart before the horse."

Yan Jinyun was silent for a moment and mocked: "It is also possible that Chen Gu is too honest and not good at lying."

He Long raised the corners of his lips: "Chen Gu is finished, where is Zhao Gui?"

"How tall are you?" Yan Jinyun asked.

"1.8 meters six." He Taki replied.

"I'm 1.8 meters three." Yan Jinyun raised his head and looked forward: "Forget about Chen Gu, this Zhao Gui is half a head shorter than me, at most he is 1.7 meters tall, why are his feet bigger than yours?"

He Taki was taken aback for a moment, and took advantage of the situation to look over. The crowd walking in front left densely packed rows of footprints on the thick snow, two of which were extraordinarily deep and wide.

"Do you suspect that Zhao Gui hid something in his shoes?" He asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know if I'm hiding something, but I know it's definitely not a good trip." Yan Jinyun said softly.

At the right time, a southerly wind blew, mixed with sharp ice shards, and everyone had to raise their hands to cover it. Yan Jinyun opened the corner of his eyes inadvertently, and his peripheral vision fell on the man who "can't see the wind" in the team.

The man was wearing a thick hat with a wide brim, and his face was covered with layers of cloth scarves. Only his eyes were exposed. At this moment, the brim of his hat was lifted by the wind, and his forehead was inevitably exposed. There was a big black mole. .
