Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 64 How about we get together?
The mountain is very big, and they have a lot of space for walking. As they walked, Zhan Ping always deliberately leaned towards Lai Hongtu, and the distance between the two became closer again.

The surroundings were fragrant and pleasant, and the temperature in the forest was much lower than that in the city. Even though Zhan Ping had a noisy personality, she slowly calmed down.

Going deeper, there was a small river. An old man was fishing by the river. Lai Hongtu stood behind him and watched with interest for a long time. Zhan Ping followed suit. She felt that she and Lai Hongtu looked like an elderly couple walking in the forest. The feeling of seclusion in the mortal world.

After a while, the old man caught a fish, and Zhan Ping finally dared to speak: "Old nerve, do you also like fishing? Can I accompany you to fish someday?"

"Can you sit still? Don't wait for me to catch one and you can't wait to eat it. By the way, what do you want to eat tonight?" Lai Hongtu didn't take Zhan Ping's words seriously and asked her a more practical question. The problem.

Zhan Ping was a little confused: "Aren't you here to eat mud frogs?"

"Then I won't just let you eat one dish. I heard that the farm owner also raised native chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and bamboo rats..."

"Then I'll eat everything. I'm not picky about food. I'll eat whatever comes."

Lai Hongtu looked at Zhan Ping's active look with her chest puffed out and chuckled: "That's right. With your height, you don't look like a picky eater."

Zhan Ping did not deny it. She scratched her arm and said, "Go back. There are too many mosquitoes in the mountains. They itch me to death."

Lai Hongtu looked at where her hand was scratching, and stretched out his hand to hold her hand in front of her face: "Why are so many bags being stared at? Why didn't you say it just now."

One of Zhan Ping's arms was densely covered with bumps of all sizes, and combined with the scratches, it looked a little scary.

The old fishing man turned around after hearing what they said, and then handed over a bottle of mosquito repellent: "Are you from the city? You're not used to being bitten. Go back and ask the boss to get some repellent to put on it."

Lai Hongtu thanked the old man and wanted to hand the medicine to Zhan Ping and let her do it herself, but seeing that she kept scratching herself, Lai Hongtu gently opened her restless hands and carefully helped her apply the medicine.

Zhan Ping was wearing a skirt and her legs were badly bitten, but Lai Hongtu just squatted down and asked her to sit on a big rock aside, and then helped her apply ointment on the bitten parts of her calves.

Seeing Lai Hongtu's nervous expression, Zhan Ping deliberately said optimistically: "Hey, you said this guy is good-looking but there's nothing you can do about it. Even mosquitoes like him."

"Yeah, luckily there are only mosquitoes here. If you say that, a snake will come out and probably like you too."

After applying the medicine, Lai Hongtu urged Zhan Ping to walk back quickly. When she arrived at the farm, Zhan Ping was still scratching her bag, and she found that one part of her arm was swollen and it still hurt a little when she pressed it.

Zhan Ping had never been bitten so badly by a mosquito, not to mention it was still October. She was a little anxious when she saw the redness and swelling, for fear of being poisoned.

At this time, another mosquito flew over, and Zhan Ping slapped it hard on the back of her hand.

Since Zhan Ping was bitten so seriously this time, Lai Hongtu went to the farm owner and gave Zhan Ping oral stastin hydrochloride tablets, and then decided to take her home first.

Zhan Ping was a little unhappy: "I think I can still hold on...otherwise I won't be able to eat my frogs."

Zhan Ping is a person who deserves to be rewarded for her efforts. She spent so much energy and sacrificed her own blood today, so she must be allowed to taste something delicious.

Lai Hongtu gave her a knock on the head: "I'll take a rabbit and catch a few mud frogs back home, and make them for you to eat at night."

Lai Hongtu asked Zhan Ping to wait outside, and went to the box to apologize to the others. Then he went to the boss to buy rabbits and mud frogs. The boss tried his best to publicize that the mud frogs were caught in the rice fields by the pond in the morning. They were wild and tasted good. Delicious.

Lai Hongtu held the bag of mud frogs and looked at the boss and asked: "Really wild? Don't fool me."

"It's wild, and it's like jumping up and down."

After receiving the boss's reply, Lai Hongtu asked him to get a roll of thin rope, then patiently tied a rope to the legs of each mud frog, opened the bag and released them.

Lai Hongtu took the other end of the ropes, rode on his bicycle, and urged Zhan Ping to go back with him.

The two of them drove back to the city one after another, with Lai Hongtu riding in front. Zhan Ping looked at his leisurely look and found the mud frog jumping behind his wheel a bit funny.

Zhan Ping's attention was focused on the mud frog, and the swelling on her arm no longer felt so itchy or painful.

There was a certain distance between Zhan Ping's car and Lai Hongtu. She was afraid that she would accidentally hit those mud frogs, which would hinder her speed.Zhan Ping shouted to Lai Hongtu: "Hey old nerve, are you really going to let them jump back? Why do you torture them before eating them!"

"I'm trying to verify whether they are wild and give them some exercise. Besides, I have a rabbit in the box that I can't fit in."

Because she is tall, has long legs and is pretty, Zhan Ping is often looked at by people on the street. But on the way back, she was covered in mud and followed Lai Hongtu who was holding a mud frog. When she met the eyes of passers-by on the road, she was a little more cautious. Shame and embarrassment.

If she hadn't followed Lai Hongtu, who was unreliable, how could Zhan Ping have made herself so embarrassed, but only by following him could she feel so embarrassed.

The first thing Zhan Ping did after arriving home was to take a shower, while Lai Hongtu kept working on the food.After spending so much energy traveling back and forth, they were already hungry.

Zhan Ping was a little annoyed when she saw the swelling on her arms while taking a bath. She actually thought that two bottles of red wine should be served in the atmosphere of today, but now that her hands are so swollen, she might not be able to touch the wine.

Zhan Ping had been thinking about this the whole time she was taking a bath. Twenty minutes later, Lai Hongtu shouted in confusion: "Does it take so long to take a bath in the summer? If you put hot water on the bitten area for a long time, it will be more serious. "

"I know." Zhan Ping turned off the water, wrapped herself in a bath towel, found the ointment Lai Hongtu bought on the road, and applied it.

When Zhan Ping changed her clothes and came out, Lai Hongtu was still collecting the juice, but the fragrance had already overflowed and entered Zhan Ping's nose very intrusively.

Zhan Ping had nothing to do, so she went to her room and dug out a few small candles bought from a boutique.

Pink, blue, yellow... Zhan Ping placed one on each of the four corners of the dining table.

Lai Hongtu's eyes widened when he brought the dishes out: "What are you doing?"

Zhan Ping spread her hands and said proudly: "Isn't it very atmospheric?"

"Heh, atmosphere, then this bottle of coconut water, should I also pour it out of two goblets?"

"Okay, let's go quickly."

Zhan Ping didn't seem to understand Lai Hongtu's sarcasm, and actually asked him to take out the high wine glass.Lai Hongtu reluctantly went to get it for her, and when he came back, Zhan Ping had already eaten it.

After all, Lai Hongtu's cooking skills were limited. The color and presentation were not very nice, and he didn't taste it before it was cooked.

Seeing that Zhan Ping tasted delicious, Lai Hongtu asked, "How does it taste?"

"It's delicious. It's better than the aunt I invited before."

Zhan Ping poured coconut milk into a goblet and wanted to clink glasses with Lai Hongtu. Lai Hongtu played tricks with her, and the two laughed and laughed like children.

"Why do you think there are cockfighting and bullfighting but not mud frog fighting? If there is a mud frog fighting competition, with your training level, you will definitely win the championship."

Zhan Ping seems to like to talk silly things when she is with Lai Hongtu. Maybe she thinks that communicating with scientists requires more imagination.

Lai Hongtu shook the goblet and said in a hurry: "I have won too many championships in my life. Whether I win this championship or not is not really important."

"Then you are so awesome, why doesn't anyone like you? You said that when you are old, children of your age can walk, right?"

"They don't live as elegantly as I do. Marriage is the bond between two people..."

"Okay! I think so too. I am a firm believer in not getting married, and you like to be free and unrestrained. How about we get together?"

What Zhan Ping just said was intentional. She just wanted to lure Lai Hongtu out and make him follow her words.

This frightened Lai Hongtu so hard that he turned his head and spat out a mouthful of coconut milk on the ground. He quickly pulled a piece of paper from the table and wiped his mouth.

Later, Lai Hongtu looked at Zhan Ping as if he had seen a ghost: "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? How old are you?"

"I'm an adult and can fall in love."

Zhan Ping frowned and looked at Lai Hongtu's incredulous look. Why hadn't she found him so old-fashioned before?

If Lai Hongtu had said that he was not interested in her, Zhan Ping might not be angry, but if he talked about age and seniority, Zhan Ping would think that he was a coward.

But Lai Hongtu kept shaking his head, as if Zhan Ping was crazy.He looked at Zhan Ping warily with warning eyes, and raised his hands in front of his chest to make an "X". Zhan Ping felt so disappointed that she threw her chopsticks and went upstairs.
