EBE Chapter 144 Bet
Chapter 144 Bet
Shang Wan walked to the fisherman's position to check.
As a general rule, fishermen prefer quiet places so that the fish will not be easily scared away.
This guy is really interesting. He keeps going to places where there are a lot of children. Is he confident in his fishing skills or does he have other intentions?
A reflective object caught Shang Wan's attention. She bent down to pick it up, put it in her sleeve, and washed her hands by the river.
It must be said that with the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, her hands looked as if she had never done any heavy work. Her fingers were slender, white and tender like the tips of green onions, without even a decent callus.
A beauty with an oval face is reflected in the water. Her facial features are delicate and attractive. The lines are softer than Shang Wan's own face, without a trace of aggressiveness.
With a slight raise of the eyebrows, the soul's inherent aura instantly broke this gentleness and harmlessness, and there was an inexplicable attraction in the contradiction.
Staring at his reflection in the water, having not looked in the mirror for a long time, Shang Wan almost forgot that this body was a beauty.
The index finger lightly touched the water surface, ripples spread out, and the reflection of the beauty also disappeared.
As the sun set, Shang Wan returned home carrying the two still-jumping grass carps.
While Xiaohuan was cooking fish, she asked about the fishermen.
Xiao Huan said: "If the fish is not cooked well, it will have a fishy smell. If you want to cook it well, you have to add more seasoning. Many people in the village are reluctant to do so, so few people eat fish, and even fewer people go fishing."
"I've only seen Luo Da, Uncle Liu, and Uncle Zhang fishing. Xiao Shan can use a small net to catch some small fish and fry them. But frying takes a lot of oil, so he said he only fishes once a month, otherwise his eldest brother would beat him up."
In Shang Wan's impression, the people Xiaohuan mentioned did not match the fishermen.
Xiao Huan said, "Sister, we can also get a net to catch some small fish. I will fry them for you. They are crispy and fragrant even with the bones. I guarantee you will like them."
Shang Wan was so greedy that she nodded and said, "Let's go borrow a net from Xiaoshan tomorrow and catch a few baskets to try."
"Row."
After dinner and coaxing Yuanyuan to sleep, Shang Wan lay alone on the ox's back, staring at the dark night sky in a daze.
The clouds blocked the moon, and only a few scattered stars twinkled and emitted faint light.
Shang Wan was so absorbed in watching that she suddenly heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling over pebbles. Without turning around, she raised her hand and threw a transparent object to the person who came.
Lu Chengjing raised his hand to take it, and looked at it carefully in his palm.
A loose little ball that looks like fishing line.
He asked, “Where did you come from?”
"By the river." Shang Wan's tone was a little lazy, and he simply recounted the story of the fisherman.
"I didn't think he was from the village. When I went to check, I found this small ball of fishing line on the ground."
Lu Chengjing didn't understand Shang Wan's meaning for a moment. Isn't it normal for fishermen to carry fishing lines?
Shang Wan said slowly, "Old Lady Gao was strangled to death. There were several neatly arranged strangulation marks on her neck, almost all of which had penetrated into the flesh. I had been wondering what had strangled Old Lady Gao until I saw this ball of fishing line."
Lu Chengjing stared at the fishing line and frowned, thinking of a possibility, "Do you suspect that the murderer of Old Lady Gao was not Gao Qi?"
"Rather than saying Gao Qi is the murderer, it's better to say he is the victim. This can explain the huge change in him."
Shang Wan sighed, "We may have all been deceived by the murderer. Gao Qi may have died earlier than Old Lady Gao. The crazy Gao Qi that the villagers saw that day must have been the murderer or his accomplice pretending to be him."
Lu Chengjing held the fishing line tightly and said, "It's just a ball of fishing line. It doesn't mean anything. Gao Qi can also use it to kill people."
"Indeed, everything is just my guess." Shang Wan sat up from the cow's back, crossed his legs and faced Lu Chengjing, raised his eyebrows slightly, "How about making a bet?"
Lu Chengjing looked at her, with a soft smile in his eyes, "What are you betting on?"
"Let's bet...whether something will happen in the village tomorrow." Shang Wan's tone was meaningful.
"I bet something will happen." The two said almost in unison.
Shang Wan whistled and spread his hands, "Same, looks like there's no point in betting."
Lu Chengjing asked, "What's the bet?"
Shang Wan hooked his finger at him, and Lu Chengjing turned his wheelchair closer and listened attentively.
Shang Wan leaned over, whispered a few words into his ear.
Lu Chengjing's originally fair ears suddenly burned like fire, and his pale lips pursed uncomfortably.
Shang Wan stretched out his hand and pinched the earlobe that was so close to him. He lowered his voice and said in a seductive tone, "Do you want to change your mind?"
Lu Chengjing coughed lightly and turned his head away. His fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair scratched the edge uncomfortably, and his long and thick eyelashes trembled violently.
Shang Wan looked at his red ears leisurely, thinking that he was still so easily amused.
She said with a smile in her voice, "Husband, you haven't answered me yet."
Lu Chengjing's fingertips trembled and he turned around to look at her.
The woman's watery almond-shaped eyes were slightly curved, and when she smiled, she was like a refreshing spring.
The night breeze blew by, and a familiar fragrance drifted over, lingering around my nose.
Lu Chengjing's heart seemed to skip a beat. He pursed his lips, and pursed them again. After a long while, he lowered his eyes and hummed softly.
Shang Wan secretly sighed, he was so well behaved that she couldn't bear to bully him.
However, how can teasing a fox you raise yourself be considered bullying?
"You're so reluctant? Forget it, I won't gamble anymore." Shang Wan jumped off the cow's back and walked away.
"Wait." Lu Chengjing reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her back with force.
Shang Wan followed the force, turned around and sat on his lap, lowered his head, and their eyes met.
Lu Chengjing whispered: “Don’t be upset, I’ll bet.”
Shang Wan curled the corners of his lips slightly, raised his arms and wrapped them around the back of the young man's neck, leaned closer, and gently kissed him on the cheek.
The soft touch became more and more familiar. Lu Chengjing's fingertips trembled, and he slowly, slowly raised his right hand and gently placed it on Shang Wan's waist, embracing the person in his arms in a protective and possessive posture.
Shang Wan stretched out his index finger to scratch the young man's chin, "Why are you so obedient?"
"I want you to be happy." Lu Chengjing grabbed the fingers that were playing tricks on his chin and brought them to his lips and kissed them gently.
Shang Wan was indeed very happy.
Her eyes fell on the young man's beautifully shaped lips. Feeling that the color was too light, she raised her hand and pressed and kneaded them gently until they were stained with a bright color before letting go.
"You're quite good at coaxing people. Where did you learn that?"
The heat in Lu Chengjing's ears had not dissipated yet. He grabbed Shang Wan's fingertips and kissed them again, smiling softly with curved eyes, "It's all because of my wife's good teaching."
Shang Wan had the illusion that her master was about to be beaten to death on the beach. She cleared her throat and said, "Not bad, keep up the good work."
She supported herself on Lu Chengjing's shoulders and tried to stand up, but the hand on her waist exerted even greater force, pressing her down on her legs.
Shang Wan:?
Lu Chengjing put his arms around her, rested his chin on her shoulder, and rubbed it gently.
The loose black hair brushed against the sides of her face and neck, causing a slight itch.
Although he didn't say it out loud, it was obvious that he wanted to hug me for a while longer.
Shang Wan felt like being rubbed by a cat.
No, hers is just a fox.
Forget it, foxes are furry too, so just rub against it.
