Out of place

Xiang Xi rubbed the bait residue on his hands, and while watching Cheng Boyan gnash his teeth to hang the bait on the hook, he stretched his hand towards his bag.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Boyan stared at his hand, "You just threw your bag on the ground and I didn't even say a word. You still want to touch it with this hand?"

"I don't touch the bag," Xiang Xi said, and quickly squeezed out a small packet of beef jerky from the open bag, "I'll eat this."

"Don't you think it's dirty? You just touched shit..." Cheng Boyan couldn't speak anymore, looking at his hand that was holding "shit", "If you're so greedy, go wash your hands first."

"It's dirty after washing for a while..." Xiang Xi thought for a while, got up from the stool and squatted by the fish pond.

"Xiang Xi!" Cheng Boyan looked at him helplessly, "Are you going to wash your hands here?"

"Ah——" Xiang Xi withdrew his hand that was about to reach into the pond, sighed in a long voice, turned around and walked towards the hand-pressed well in the farm, muttering as he walked, "I haven't heard an old saying Well, dirty water doesn't dirty your hands..."

"I've never heard of it." Cheng Boyan said.

Xiang Xi came back after washing his hands, sat on the stool and started eating beef jerky. Cheng Boyan didn't hang up the bait for a long time.

"Let me do it," Xiang Xi gnawed on the beef jerky, "you can't hang your orchid fingers until tomorrow."

"I don't want more fingers touching it!" Cheng Boyan frowned.

"I still have a box of bait. The boss said that two different boxes can catch different fish." Xiang Xi pointed to another box, "Why don't you try that box, maybe it's easier to pinch?"

"Really?" Cheng Boyan was very annoyed, and when he heard this, he immediately threw away the bait scum that had been pinched to a small extent, and opened another box.

The previous bait was mainly too soft and could not be handled properly. He poked his fingers into the box and squeezed a little out, wanting to feel the softness and hardness first.

As soon as he took out his hand, he was stunned.

"Huh? Live bait?" Xiang Xi was also taken aback, "Is this an earthworm?"

Cheng Boyan looked at the wriggling earthworm held between his fingers, and an indescribable horror swept over his body, feeling that the hairs didn't stand upside down, but just abandoned him.

"Me!" Cheng Boyan jumped up with a flick of his hand, then ran and jumped towards the hand pressure well as if he had been electrocuted, and shook his hands frantically.

Xiang Xi hurriedly jumped up and ran over, halfway through the run, he couldn't help squatting on the ground and began to laugh, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe properly: "Are you afraid of bugs or disgusted..."

Cheng Boyan ignored him, rushed to the well, grabbed the pressure lever and pressed it seven or eight times, and tossed and rubbed his hands in the water for a long time.

After finally finishing washing his hands, he walked to Xiang Xi, his hands still dripping: "Is this boss crazy!"

"It's normal to use earthworms for fishing," Xiang Xi pulled his hand and touched it, then patted the back of his hand lightly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all right."

"Are you going to give me a snort?" Cheng Boyan gave him a sideways look.

Xiang Xi immediately hugged him, raised his hand and scratched his head: "Snoring, don't be scared..."

"I'm not fishing anymore," Cheng Boyan said, "I want to go home."

Xiang Xi couldn't stop laughing: "No more fishing, let's go catch chickens?"

"Be careful, I'll take care of you!" Cheng Boyan pointed at him, flicked on his forehead again, and then sighed, "I'll use the bait before."

The two sat back by the water, Cheng Boyan struggled for a while, and finally pinched the erbium onto Xiang Xi's hook: "Okay, let's go fishing."

"What about you?" Xiang Xi flicked the rod, the hook and the fishing line drew a very thin arc in the air, and flew out gracefully.

"I..." Cheng Boyan originally thought that Xiang Xi's gesture of throwing the thread was very beautiful, but before he could be praised, the thread flew out and wrapped around a small branch by the fish pond. He paused, "I'll... ...get the thread back for you."

Luckily, Xiang Xi threw the line in the right direction. It was a small tree, not much bigger than a shrub. Cheng Boyan pulled the line a few times and got the line off. The hook was not broken, but it was the bait that got on with great difficulty. Gone.

"Are you a bit accurate?" Cheng Boyan helplessly squeezed out another lump of bait.

"I think I'm in control. If you stand a little further away, I'm afraid I'll hook your face when you throw it out." Xiang Xi said.

Cheng Boyan backed away for several meters: "Is it enough for you to use it?"

"Move to the side," Xiang Xi commanded him, "in case I stretch back..."

Cheng Boyan took a few steps to the side: "Okay, let's shake it, you can't shake it here even if you do a set of radio exercises."

Xiang Xi swung his arm, this time was good, he flung into the water, although he felt that he was still a little close to the shore, but he didn't continue to swing, and sat back on the chair, putting on the air of a veteran fisherman.

Cheng Boyan didn't go fishing. After washing his hands, he sat beside Xiang Xi and looked at the water.

He is not very interested in fishing, but if he can't choose to die between fishing and catching chickens, he can only choose fishing.

Xiang Xi seems to like fishing quite a bit, sitting on the stool and waiting quietly, not moving much for ten minutes.

"You can still sit still." Cheng Boyan said.

"Just stare blankly," Xiang Xi smiled, "I used to stare blankly like this when I had nothing to do, and it's fine for a few hours."

An hour passed, Xiang Xi pulled up the pole four or five times, Cheng Boyan baited him four or five times, and washed his hands four or five times.

Not a single fish was caught.

"Did you order fish just now?" Xiang Xi asked.

"No, I just want a chicken and stir fry, and what you want... Grasshopper." Cheng Boyan was speechless when he thought of this thing.

"That's okay," Xiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "If I don't wait for me to fish, I probably won't be able to eat at night."

"If you want a fish, you won't wait for this one," Cheng Boyan smiled. "If you want a chicken, you still wait..."

"That's right!" Xiang Xi suddenly threw the fishing rod and stood up, "I forgot, we asked for a chicken, right? The chicken has to be caught!"

Cheng Boyan suddenly felt that he wanted to pick up the fishhook and sew his mouth shut.

"Let's go, let the boss take us to catch chickens!" Xiang Xi was depressed when he couldn't catch any fish, but when he mentioned catching chickens, his fighting spirit instantly became high again.

The farm is surrounded by a small dirt hill for raising chickens. There are trees planted by the farmers themselves, and one of them is fenced with a net. The chickens are all inside, and they are also fed, but the main thing is to run around to find bugs to eat, so although It only takes a month or two to raise them, but the meat quality is much better than the broiler chickens we usually eat.

but……

Standing outside the fence, Cheng Boyan saw that Xiang Xi followed the boss into a hole in the fence without any hesitation, and he thought it would be no big deal to eat some meat chicken.

"Come on!" Xiang Xi turned around and waved at him.

The boss also looked back at him, and pointed to the hole: "Be careful when you meet."

In this situation, if a girl said, "Oh, it's so dirty, I won't go in, and I can make do with it. If a big man wants to do this, it will probably make people die of laughter."

Cheng Boyan sighed and wailed in his heart, bent his head down and burrowed into the hole.

He didn't know if it was because he was tall or not bent enough, but as soon as he poked his head in, he felt his hair was caught by something.

"I'll come, I'll come!" Xiang Xi quickly jumped over, holding the net and mentioning it.

Cheng Boyan quickly got in and patted his head.

He would not participate in the next chicken catching activity even if he was killed, and just followed behind the boss and Xiang Xi.

The first is to look for chickens. There are many chickens in the net, but because the land is so large, the chickens are not moving around the net. They are all in the woods, so they have to dig into the woods to find them.

In fact, it is quite interesting, the air in the woods is quite good, and the scenery is not bad.

Cheng Boyan looked around and felt that as long as the chicken didn't jump at him, walking around like this would be a kind of enjoyment.

But before he could start enjoying it, he heard the rooster crowing.

Then, seeing the boss pointing his hand, Xiang Xi rushed out with a lightning-like, unrestrained and beautiful figure comparable to a weasel, completing the first surprise attack.

But no chicken was caught.

A group of chickens were frightened, and immediately screamed and jumped to the ground and fled in all directions.

Cheng Boyan turned around and wanted to run away.

I don't know why, the chickens seem to be inspired, or maybe they feel that it is safer to follow such a tall leader in the lead... In short, as soon as he turned around and ran for two steps, he felt that there was a chicken It thumped into his leg.

"Grab that one!" Xiang Xi shouted from behind, "Daddy catch that one!"

Cheng Boyan was completely shocked by Xiang Xi's yelling of "father" in front of the boss. In order to prevent him from continuing to yell, Cheng Boyan fished back and touched a hairy thing, regardless of whether it was a head or a fart. Or the wings grabbed it.

After catching it, he didn't dare to let go. Even though the chicken flapped its wings and slapped his face with hair and ashes, he frowned and pursed his mouth, holding his breath and staying still.

The boss ran over to take the chicken in his hand, grabbed it skillfully, and said: "It's amazing, you can catch it without even looking...Is this one okay? If you don't like it, then... ..."

"No, no! No! That's it! That's it!" Cheng Boyan took two steps back and pointed at the chicken, "That's it!"

The boss took the chicken and left, Cheng Boyan didn't say anything, just glanced at Xiang Xi.

"Immediately!" Xiang Xi immediately understood what he meant, quickly took out the disinfectant from the bag, and handed over a pack of disinfectant tissues.

Cheng Boyan rubbed his hands first, then pulled out a paper towel and wiped it vigorously on his face. After wiping four papers in a row, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey."

"Did you slap your face?" Xiang Xi asked with a smile.

"I didn't shoot, but I think I may have eaten chicken feathers." Cheng Boyan said with a frown.

"Go down and wash up?" Xiang Xi said.

"Don't be in a hurry for a second or two, do you want to take a walk in the woods?" Cheng Boyan said, "Anyway, I'm already... like this..."

"Okay," Xiang Xi nodded, "The boss said that there is a pavilion a little further up, it can be regarded as a viewing platform, and it can be seen quite far. I also want to go up and take some photos."

"Then go up," Cheng Boyan said, "don't go to the chicken side."

"Don't go, just pass by the side to the path to the pavilion," Xiang Xi said happily, "It's the first time I've seen you in such a mess, you said you're so hygienic, why did you say you want to come to the farmhouse. "

"I want to bring you to play, but I can do it, the main reason is that it was too sudden..." Cheng Boyan put his arms around his shoulders, then let go and patted him, and then hugged him again, "The dog licks the chicken" of."

If you don’t go to the side of the chicken, that is to say, no one knows where the chicken is before walking out of the fence. This is their territory. Every inch of the ground here has been trampled, and tree trunks can still be seen from time to time. In the lower part, you can see the chicken feathers rubbing against it.

When getting out of the seine net on the side of the small road, Cheng Boyan really couldn't understand: "Why didn't the boss open a door for the net? Did he have to make such a fuss?"

"It's a lot of trouble to install a door," Xiang Xi said, "If it wasn't for the convenience of guests coming in, he wouldn't need this opening, just throw it on the ground and come in."

Cheng Boyan sighed and patted his clothes: "Go to the pavilion."

This earthy mountain is not high, and the pavilion is built on a flat ground near the top of the mountain. It is a very earthy pavilion, but because of the strong wind, it blows quite cleanly.

Xiang Xi took out all the snacks and water from the bag, put them on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion, sat down, and said with emotion: "I brought so much food?"

"Why don't we just eat here, and we'll sneak away after we're done, we haven't paid for the meal anyway." Cheng Boyan wiped the chair with a piece of paper and sat down.

"Stupid, your car is parked in front of someone's house," Xiang Xi clicked his tongue twice, "This brain with chicken feathers is not smart enough."

"Don't disgust me," Cheng Boyan took a bottle of water, unscrewed it, took a sip, then whispered after thinking about it, "What did you call me when you just caught the chicken?"

"...Dad, I didn't know why I yelled it out," Xiang Xi scratched his head, "I didn't even dare to say anything after I yelled, but it seems like the boss didn't notice?"

"It's okay to notice," Cheng Boyan walked up to him and straightened his hair, "It's not like calling him Dad."

"It's all about you, you're always addicted to talking," Xiang Xi leaned against him, buried his face in his stomach, and put his arms around his waist, "I made me want to keep talking."

"My clothes are dirty." Cheng Boyan tugged at his clothes.

"It's okay," Xiang Xi buried in his belly and said, "I don't dislike you."

"I hate you," Cheng Boyan pushed him away, pinched his chin and lifted it up, "How can I kiss you with chicken feathers on my face?"

"Do you want to kiss now?" Xiang Xi raised his face, then reached out to wipe his face and mouth, "Kiss."

"You..." Cheng Boyan didn't know what to say, he sighed with a smile, bent his legs and lowered his head to kiss him lightly on the lips.

Just when he was about to press down again, a groan came from outside the pavilion.

Both were stunned.

It was a woman who heard the voice, wondering if someone had fallen and got hurt, when she heard another sound, which was clearer than the previous one.

"What..." As soon as Xiang Xi opened his mouth, Cheng Boyan pressed his mouth with his hands.

"There's someone." Cheng Boyan said softly, turned around and walked to the chair on the other side of the mountain facing the pavilion.

The place where the pavilion is built is actually a flat land on the side of the mountain, with the mountain on one side and the slope going down on the other side, full of grass and trees.

Cheng Boyan knelt on the chair with one leg, stretched out half of his body with the back of the chair, and looked down.

The grass on the hillside was not too dense, and in this season, the grass was already a little dry. At a glance, he saw two people in the grass about five or six meters away.

"Fuck," Xiang Xi came over at some point, and when he saw the situation, he said in a low voice, "This is... a field battle?"

Cheng Boyan didn't speak, he shrank back, pulled Xiang Xi back, turned around and quickly packed all the things on the stone table into his bag.

When he was about to drag Xiang Xi away, he found that Xiang Xi took the camera and leaned back on the back of the chair.

"Are you crazy?" Cheng Boyan hurried over and snatched the camera, then stretched out his hand to cover Xiang Xi's eyes, and pushed him out of the pavilion with half hugs and half pushes.

"Let me take a look..." Xiang Xi turned his head, but Cheng Boyan immediately covered his eyes with his hands, and he sighed, "Then I won't take pictures, I'll just take a look."

"What's so interesting about this?" Cheng Boyan said in a low voice.

"I haven't seen actual combat." Xiang Xi said with a smile.

"See what's the point of this kind of actual combat." Cheng Boyan grabbed the bag, pulled him out of the pavilion, and walked back along the path.

After walking for a while, Xiang Xi laughed out loud: "This is really wonderful, and I'm not allowed to see it. These two are here to play, I wonder why I haven't seen anyone... Hey, what if Two men, did you just watch it with me?"

"If you want to watch it, I'll record it for you at night when we're running errands, and you can watch it slowly." Cheng Boyan said.

"I just want to watch the excitement," Xiang Xi said happily, "You are too serious, we need to change the steamed buns, we must watch it first, and throw a stone or something..."

Cheng Boyan smiled and didn't speak. After walking a few steps, Xiang Xi paused: "Why do you say that this kind of actual combat is meaningless to me?"

"You don't need it." Cheng Boyan said.

"How can I..." Xiang Xi stared at him, stunned for a while, "I..."

"There is still a road over there," Cheng Boyan put his arms around his shoulders, "Let's go up there, and climb up and look far away."

"Don't interrupt!" Xiang Xi said.

"What do you want to say?" Cheng Boyan looked at him and smiled.

"I want to say... I mean..." Xiang Xi was suddenly a little embarrassed, feeling that he was a pure little flower compared with Cheng Boyan in playing hooligans.

"You mean you want to fight me tonight," Cheng Boyan said, twitching the corners of his mouth, "Okay, you can do whatever you want, and I will cooperate."

Xiang Xi was just thinking about it at first, but when he saw Cheng Boyan smiling like this, he immediately felt unconfident: "I don't know what I want to do."

"I know what I want to do." Cheng Boyan leaned into his ear and said.

"You shameless bastard!" Xiang Xi gritted his teeth.

The mountain is said to be not high, but the road up the mountain is full of twists and turns, and it is all dirt roads. Xiang Xi was a little out of breath when he reached the top of the mountain.

Cheng Boyan was very relaxed, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he stretched his arms against the wind: "It's pretty good, I can see quite far."

The mountain is indeed not high, but there are no other hills around, so I still have the feeling of climbing high and looking into the distance, and I can see the city shining in the sun from a distance.

"Can you see where we live?" Xiang Xi held up the camera and slowly turned around from the viewfinder to look around.

"I can't see it," Cheng Boyan said, pointing to the front left again, "But have you seen that building, the tallest one with a pointy point?"

"Well, is that the building over there at your hospital?" Xiang Xi found a good angle and took a picture.

"Yes." Cheng Boyan smiled.

"A building that tall looks like a bunch of towers from here," Xiang Xi said, "Do you have a feeling?"

"How does it feel?" Cheng Boyan found a rock beside him and sat down. Normally, he wouldn't sit on this kind of rock even if he was killed. Today, he feels that he has been completely defeated.

"That's right, if you look at it this way, in such a big city, you can see buildings, streets, and windows." Xiang Xi still held up his camera, "You can see trees and green belts, but you can't see people. .”

"En." Cheng Boyan responded.

"You would think, is there anyone there, is there anyone there, what about there?" Xiang Xi said, "So many people, where are they, what are they doing, what are they doing now, what are they doing today, what about tomorrow? What about in the future?" ?”

Cheng Boyan smiled: "Sometimes, I think so. When I am on duty, I sometimes stand at the window and look out at night, and sometimes I think so."

"That's right, this 'other people's world' and 'other people's life' are quite amazing." Xiang Xi put down the camera, sat next to him, touched a bag of dried tofu and ate it.

"We are also others in the eyes of others." Cheng Boyan said.

"That's right," Xiang Xi lay back on the rock while eating, "What am I doing, I am today, I will be tomorrow, I will be in the future, it's just that there are too many 'others', and I feel that 'I' is very small, a little bit. "

"You are on the top of the mountain, you just caught fish, but you didn't catch any fish, and you didn't catch any chickens. Today you go outing, tomorrow you will go to Yunshui to make tea, and you will be with another very small person in the future, but you Whatever he does, he will know."

"You're writing poetry." Xiang Xi laughed to the sky.

"You wrote it first," Cheng Boyan hesitated, then leaned back and lay down next to him, "I may have to take a shower for an hour when I go back today."

"Are we going back to the city for dinner?" Xiang Xi asked.

"Well," Cheng Boyan said, "I guess it won't be open at night. It's off-season now. I'll cook for you when I go back."

"Then go back to the city to eat, let's go to the tea restaurant, last time I ate his quicksand buns, it was really delicious." Xiang Xi said.

"I ate chicken at noon, let's eat lighter at night, and go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables..."

"Why don't I cook, I'll make a..."

"The quicksand bag in the tea restaurant, I think it's good."
