Chapter 42 Beast!
The scream was sharp, obviously a female voice.

Several people present were frightened by the scream.

This is especially true for the two girls, Xiaoyu and Fangfang.

Jiang Yao could clearly feel that Xiaoyu, who was originally next to him, was obviously closer to him, and he could already feel the heat coming from her body.

As for Fangfang, she was hanging on Tong Gang's arm, with most of her body huddled behind him.

"Jiang Yao, you and Fangfang, Xiaoyu and the others stay here and start the fire."

"Bingzai and Xiaoli have gone into the woods and haven't come out yet. The noise just now might have been made by them."

"Myself and Gouzi, let's go in and see what's going on."

Compared with the two girls, the men are much braver after all.

Tong Gang and Gou Zi, who had just come out, looked at each other and nodded, then stood up and walked into the grove again.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a scream. Maybe a bug landed on Xiaoli and scared her into screaming."

"Come on, let's make a fire first."

After comforting Xiaoyu and Fangfang, Jiang Yao gathered up the firewood they had just picked up.

For a country kid like him, making a fire was naturally not a difficult problem.

Find some dry grass to start the fire, then slowly put the firewood on top, and soon, a raging flame began to burn.

Inside the grove, following the direction where the sharp female voice came from, Tong Gang and Gou Zi walked slowly inside.

Not long after they walked away, they heard heavy breathing and faint crying sounds.

"Bingzai, Xiaoli, is it you two?"

"That scream just now was caused by you guys, right?"

"What kind of plane is this? It just scared us!"

Tong Gang and the other man stopped and did not move forward.

The two people roughly knew what had happened. After looking at each other, Tong Gang spoke first, tentatively shouting something to the front.

"Get lost..." The owner of the voice was obviously Bingzai.

With a bit of annoyance, he added: "With me here, nothing can happen. Stay away from here."

"This dog is a beast!" Tong Gang and Gou Zi looked at each other with strange expressions.

After complaining quietly, the two of them retraced their steps and headed out of the grove again.

The blazing flames illuminated the area outside the grove much brighter.

Even Xiaoyu and Fangfang, who had been frightened by the scream just now, felt much calmer after feeling the warmth brought by the fire.

"Tong Gang, Gou Zi, what happened in there?"

"Where are Bingzai and Xiaoli? Didn't you see them? Why didn't you see them come out with you?"

Seeing Tong Gang and Gou Zi walking out of the woods again, Jiang Yao was puzzled and asked casually.

"It's okay. The scream just now was because Xiaoli accidentally twisted her foot when she was picking up firewood."

"These two guys are taking their time. Don't worry. They will come out soon."

"Don't worry about them, come on, let's drink first!"

Tong Gang walked a few steps to the campfire. While talking, he opened the box of beer, handed a bottle to each person, and he directly bit open the bottle cap and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

As for Gou Zi, he took advantage of the two women's inattention and gave Jiang Yao a meaningful look.

"Ah... we want to drink too?" Xiaoyu and Fangfang, although they took the beer handed over by Tong Gang, were obviously a little at a loss.

"It's just a bottle of beer. It won't make you drunk. What's there to be afraid of?" "Come on, Fangfang, I'll help you open the bottle cap."

Tong Gang placed the bottle of beer that he had just taken a few sips of at his feet. He walked over to Fangfang, helped her bite open the bottle cap, and then handed it back to her.

"When we go out to have fun, we want an atmosphere."

"I've already bought the wine. If I don't drink it all, what will happen?"

"Come on, Fangfang, I'll toast you a glass."

"And you, Xiaoyu, don't just sit there, come on, have a drink!"

The dog, who had also bit open the bottle cap, was busy toasting this and that, having a lot of fun.

Unable to persuade him and Tong Gang, Fangfang hesitated for a while, but finally picked up the bottle and took a few gulps.

"Brother Yao, do I want to drink too?" As for Xiaoyu, she held the bottle of wine in her hand, but looked towards Jiang Yao.

"It's okay to drink a little, don't spoil everyone's fun."

"What? Are you afraid that I will do something bad when you're drunk?" Jiang Yao replied with a laugh.

"That's not the case. Brother Yao, you are a gentleman. If you really want to do something bad while I'm drunk, I'll admit it!" Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and made a face at Jiang Yao.

After letting Jiang Yao help her bite open the bottle cap, she clinked the bottle with Jiang Yao: "Come on, Brother Yao, I toast you!"

It was unclear whether this girl wanted to get Jiang Yao drunk or herself drunk. After taking a sip of wine, at least one third of the bottle was gone.

A woman who can drink can, when she really drinks, drink more than the average man.

Jiang Yao's alcohol tolerance was very average to begin with, and Xiaoyu kept toasting him one after another. Soon, the bottle of beer in his hand was empty, without a drop left.

At this moment, Bingzai and Xiaoli, who had been missing since entering the grove, finally appeared in everyone's sight.

With a sly smile on his face and a piece of hay in his mouth, which came from nowhere, the soldier looked so arrogant that Jiang Yao couldn't help but want to kick him a few times.

As for Xiaoli, she was held in his arms, and she seemed to be a little unsteady when she walked.

"Hey, everyone is drinking. Come, bring two bottles to me, Bingzi!" With a carefree look, Bingzi found a seat by the campfire and sat down. He bossed the dog closest to the beer box and shouted at it.

"Don't you have hands? If you want to drink, get it yourself!" Gouzi looked at him with contempt and took a few sips of wine.

"Bingzai, didn't you go into the woods to collect firewood? Now that you're out, where's the firewood?" Jiang Yao, who was also a little annoyed with Bingzai, questioned him with a meaningful look on his face.

"The fire is already lit, and we don't need the firewood I picked up."

He chuckled a few times. Since no one helped him get beer, the soldier stood up and took two bottles himself.

"Lili, would you like some wine?" He bit open the bottle cap, but didn't drink it himself. Instead, he asked Xiaoli beside him first.

"No, drink it yourself!" Xiaoli shook her head and refused. After saying this, she slightly turned her body and buried her head directly on the soldier's thigh.

"Xiao Li, are you okay?" Xiao Yu asked kindly, seeming to notice that something was wrong with her.

"What's the matter? I twisted my ankle while collecting firewood just now, and the firewood is scattered everywhere."

"Look, she and I both came back empty-handed." Bingzai took over the conversation immediately.

Xiaoli, who was lying on his thighs, also raised her head and added: "Well, my foot is a bit twisted. You guys drink and leave me alone. I'll take a rest."

After she finished speaking, she buried her head in the soldier's thigh again.

"Come on, come on, drink, drink. No one can leave today until we finish this box of beer!" Gou Zi quickly changed the subject. He stood up and distributed the remaining bottles of beer to everyone present one by one.

"It's a rare occasion for us to get together. I still have half of the bottle of wine left. I'll drink it in one gulp. Everyone can feel free to enjoy!" Tong Gang patted his chest, stood up, picked up the bottle, and started drinking it.
