Chapter 108: Clarify one's position, water vapor curls up
The intercom was turned off, and there was something half-smiling in Feng Xingyuan's eyes. He leaned forward, facing Gu Wenxing, and put his big hands on the dark steering wheel, tapping slowly and rhythmically.
Gu Wenxing opened a bottle of water and handed it to him. He drank most of the bottle and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
The previous fierce battle made his voice a little hoarse, but those careful tests made his voice mixed with a calmness that cannot be ignored: "Wen Xing, is it possible to hold living creatures in your sister's space?"
He lowered his eyes. The strange birds from before and the mutated plants that suddenly appeared and disappeared all pointed out this astonishing fact.
Therefore, he did not hold back at all during the battle. Even when he took the firearm from the space, he never turned his back to the Gu family.
His keen intuition told him that the energy anomaly nearby might have something to do with the Gu family, and he wanted to stand on the same page as them, so this question made this position clear.
Feng Xingyuan's breathing became longer, and he believed that Gu Wenxing understood what he meant.
Gu Wenxing's cold eyes were closed, as if he was thinking.
Then he opened his eyes, his bright eyes stared somewhere in the void, and said: "Yes, but only for animals and plants. We hope you will keep this matter secret."
Feng Xingyuan raised the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice: "Okay, definitely."
Just at this moment, the car behind honked twice. Gu Wenxing asked his seat belt, glanced at Feng Xingyuan, who was sitting upright, and said, "Let's go, I'll show you the way."
Near noon, the group arrived at the empty village.
In the dilapidated village, there was a mess everywhere. Red and black dried blood stains were scattered around the broken limbs and on the walls and ground everywhere. The depression was full of desolation.
Two black off-road vehicles drove slowly into the village, leaving a trail of muddy wheel marks.
Gu Wenxing reached out and pointed at the two-story building where he had stayed before: "This is the one."
"Okay." Feng Xingyuan responded and stopped the car steadily at the door.
Gu Jinguo drove his car and parked behind him.
After Gu Wenyue got out of the car, she put both cars into the space.
After the door was opened, it had only been a few days, and the yard had already grown into patches of weeds as tall as a person.
Zhao Minan's powers recovered somewhat. She mobilized her mental power, scanned the area, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's still safe here."
Gu Wenxing put his arms around his sister's shoulders and said, "Bring out two sickles."
He took the sickle from his sister's hand, patted her arm again and said, "You and your parents should go in and tidy up the house first, and we'll clean up the weeds."
Deep grass as tall as a person has grown all over the courtyard. If it is not cleaned up, it is likely to suddenly change in the middle of the night.
Gu Wenyue nodded. The morning's melee and twists and turns made her a little tired both physically and mentally. When she raised her head, her moist eyes looked particularly well-behaved.
She followed her parents into the house. The house was a bit messy, and there were signs of rummaging everywhere. It seemed that someone had been here looking for supplies in the past few days.
Zhao Minan first replaced the original sofa and coffee table with a brand new set, and asked her husband and daughter to sit down.
The comfortable and soft sofa provided great comfort to their tired bodies.
Outside the house, Gu Wenxing piled the last bundle of weeds together. A thin layer of sweat on his forehead shimmered in the sun. He clenched his sleeves with his fingertips and wiped the sweat off his face.
Turning around, he saw Feng Xingyuan standing aside.
In the past, men always wore well-tailored suits, sat close to the clouds, and scolded Fang Qiu. This noble and ascetic man stands at the top of the turbulent business world, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain.
But at this moment, he changed out of the suit, and the indifference on his body seemed to be much lighter. The golden sunlight danced on his hair, coating him with a layer of golden light. Gu Wenxing's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "It's rare to see CEO Feng Da look so down-to-earth."
Feng Xingyuan stepped forward and took the sickle from his hand, and replied: "We will see you more in the future."
The two of them walked into the house. There were two cups of hot tea on the coffee table. Many things that might be used in the living room had been replaced with new ones. At this moment, the other three people were nowhere to be seen, and they were probably upstairs.
Just as they were thinking, Gu Jinguo and Zhao Minan came down from upstairs. Zhao Minan seemed to be in a good mood, with a relaxed and cheerful smile on his face: "Wen Xing, Xing Yuan. How about we have hot pot tonight?"
Gu Wenxing nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhao Minan's eyes fell on Feng Xingyuan, with some questioning eyes.
Gu Wenxing continued: "Mom, just eat hot pot, he can eat it."
Feng Xingyuan then said: "I'm sorry to trouble my uncle and aunt."
A bright smile broke out on Zhao Minan's face, she pulled her husband and said as they walked: "Then your dad and I will go get ready."
Gu Wenyue changed the last bed and quickly went downstairs.
There is already some aroma wafting out of the kitchen.
She sat on the sofa, took out a few fruit plates, and put some fruits on them. Then she picked up a pomegranate and peeled it off. She peeled off the red fruit while moving her fingers flexibly.
After a while, she held a handful of pomegranate seeds in her hand, and then she seemed to suddenly remember that there were only three rooms upstairs, so she said to Gu Wenxing: "Brother, there are only three rooms upstairs."
Gu Wenxing paused, glanced at Feng Xingyuan, and said, "Then Xingyuan and I will sleep in the same room, and you can make a bed for us later."
Gu Wenyue nodded and continued to fight with the pomegranate in her hand.
In the kitchen, Gu Jinguo took the spoon and made three soup bases, a tomato milk pot with a rich aroma, a spicy spicy pot with a numbing texture, and a refreshing and delicious mushroom soup base.
Zhao Minan called her daughter in the kitchen, and Gu Wenyue spit out a packet of pomegranate seeds in her mouth into the trash can and hurried to the kitchen.
Zhao Minan took off her apron, patted her daughter's arm, and said warmly: "Choose a three-piece hot pot and put it on the dining table."
Gu Wenyue responded to the sound, put the hot pot away, took out the spare battery, placed it on the ground, and plugged in the wire.
Gu Jinguo held a pot of soup base, poured it into the hot pot, and said, "Wen Xing, come and serve the food!"
As soon as the two tall figures of Gu Wenxing and Feng Xingyuan appeared in the kitchen, the kitchen suddenly seemed cramped.
Soon, the table was filled with fresh meat and vegetables.
Gu Jinguo said: "The dipping sauce is in the kitchen, go and serve it yourself."
Gu Wenyue had already brought out her dipping sauce and sat aside, waiting for the pot to start.
Gu Wenxing poked Feng Xingyuan in the arm and said, "The dipping sauce made by my dad is delicious. Just wait and I'll serve it to you."
The hot pot gradually warmed up, and after a while, the lid of the pot was covered with a layer of white mist. The water vapor curled up, carrying the unique aroma of hot pot, sweeping everyone's sense of smell and nerves.
"The pot is on, put the meat first!" Gu Wenyue's eyes were bright, and she watched expectantly as her father took away the lid of the pot, put the beef and mutton rolls into the boiling soup base with a long chopstick.
The fragrant smell spreads.
