S-level high-risk personality, you call this a pitiful thing?

Chapter 157: Mouyu Village - Roast Chicken
A Qiang felt as if struck by lightning when he heard this, and the look of fear on his face was as if he had seen a ghost. Lan Tong's short words frightened the 1.80-meter-tall man so much that he took several steps back.

Lan Tong was satisfied and put away the murderous intent in his eyes. He laughed like a child who had played a successful prank: "I was just kidding you. I didn't expect Brother Qiang to be so timid."

A Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just returned from hell, and his legs even went a little weak.

He looked at Lan Tong somewhat embarrassedly, with an extremely complicated expression. He twitched the corners of his mouth for a long time before he uttered a word.

"I am indeed a little timid...please don't scare me."

"Ok."

Lan Tong was not in the mood to continue chatting with this cowardly man. She was afraid that if she said a few more words he would start to curse. She took the lunch box and candle from the incubator and turned to go upstairs.

A Qiang hurriedly asked: "Wait, did you...did you encounter any danger in the mountains?"

Lan Tong stopped, looked back and smiled.

"Do you want to hear me say that I met him, or that I didn't?"

It was a half-dark day, and a cold wind blew into the yard.

Lan Tong's pair of light brown eyes had changed from their usual dullness, and were now as sharp as needles piercing A Qiang's eyes.

Ah Qiang didn't dare to look directly at her, he lowered his head and stammered, "Of course... naturally I hope not."

Lan Tong did not answer his question, but said meaningfully: "I have come back alive. Brother Qiang, don't you think it is too late to ask me these questions now?"

Aqiang's self-blame and powerlessness almost reached its peak when he heard this sentence.

"I'm sorry... This is the village chief's decision. I..."

He wanted to explain and wanted Lan Tong not to blame him.

Lan Tong seemed to not care at all and said lightly: "You are incapable of changing, I don't blame you."

Aqiang was delighted.

Unexpectedly, Lan Tong continued: "Since you have no ability to resist, don't imagine that you can be forgiven by just a simple apology."

This sentence dealt the final blow to Aqiang's crumbling self-esteem.

The feeling of grief and helplessness was like a wildly growing vine, which almost suffocated his heart in just a moment.

Lan Tong turned and left. A Qiang looked at her back with an extremely sad expression.

He hated his own incompetence and dared not resist the village chief's decision.

He was also afraid of that god, fearing that helping Lan Tong would bring disaster upon himself.

After several attempts at helplessness, he still gritted his teeth, took out two hidden lunch boxes and a green candle from the incubator, quickly chased after him, and stuffed them into Lan Tong's hands.

Ah Qiang hung his head like a defeated rooster and said humbly, "This is... This is the roast chicken I promised you before..."

"..."

Just as Lan Tong was about to send it back, he was held down by him again.

"Just accept it..." Ah Qiang said, "This is a little gift from me... I made it especially for you... Don't use white candles from today on, use green ones... These candles are enough for you and your companions to use until the last day..."

Lu Li followed in the space and said: "Take it. You haven't had a normal meal in several days."

"I think you want to eat it?"

Lan Tong had no intention of arguing with him, so she didn't say anything and went upstairs with her things.

……

dong dong dong...

Lan Tong's footsteps echoed in the dark corridor, and it seemed that no one was in the residence. At least she didn't see anyone.

Passing by Lilika's room, her door was wide open for some reason.

Apart from the marks left on the bedding in the house that proved that someone had lived here before, the rest was the same as Ji Yu had said, with no signs of a fight.

Lan Tong remembered that when they left their residence in the afternoon, Lilika's door was still ajar, but now it was open. It was probably that someone had come back after they left and might have searched the room.

Not sure what the other party's intentions are.

But it is certain that someone had been searching the residence when they left, as if looking for something. Lan Tong didn't think it was done by the villagers.

She knocked on Ji Yu's door twice, but there was no sound from inside.

He probably hasn't come back yet. Lan Tong heaved a sigh of relief.

Lu Li couldn't help but ask: "Are you... worried about him or not? Why do you seem so happy when he's not in the room?"

Lan Tong’s answer was simple.

"As long as he is not dead and is not enjoying happiness without my knowledge, I will be happy."

"..."

Lan Tong returned to the house and threw the lunch box aside, preparing to feed Ji Yu or the dog later.

When I opened the two boxes of roast chicken, I saw that the roasted chicken was neatly cut into pieces and the aroma wafted out instantly.

Lan Tong, who hadn't eaten human food for two days, felt instantly refreshed when he smelled this scent.

"It looks pretty good."

"Hmm." Lu Li said, "Can I try it for you first?"

"You die for me first."

"White-eyed wolf."

Lu Li thought Lan Tong would start eating a big meal, but he didn't expect her to suddenly put down her chopsticks and cover the lunch box again.

Lu Li couldn't help it. She didn't understand what Lan Tong was doing and said, "You don't want to eat it, but you won't let me eat it?"

Lan Tong: "Two boxes of chicken. How can you and I finish them with a body like you?"

Rather than waiting for Ji Yu to come back and then having to leave half of the meal, which would be embarrassing, Lan Tong chose to wait for Ji Yu to come back before eating. Anyway, there was still a box lunch, which would be enough for Ji Yu to eat full.

"Tsk." Lu Li's words suddenly became a little sour, "You even waited for him to come back, maybe he has already died in the mountain."

"You speak more viciously than I do, Lu Li."

Lan Tong was speechless and wanted to laugh. "At first, I said Ji Yu was dead, and you called me an ungrateful person. Now you say he is dead just for a few bites of meat. Don't you think you are much more vicious than me?"

"It's better than being afraid of others enjoying themselves."

Neither of them gave in, and the lunch boxes were left quietly on the table untouched.

The night is getting darker.

The chosen ones also came back one after another.

Aqiang stayed in the yard and did not leave. Lantong peeked at the window and found that the candles that Aqiang gave to the other chosen ones today were white.

She stared at the green candles on the table, becoming increasingly confused about their specific purpose.

Among the group of people getting their meals, Lan Tong spotted a familiar figure.

It’s Ji Yu.

Ji Yu didn't take the food. He lowered his head and walked through the crowd. He seemed to be holding something in his hand and walked quickly into the house.

Not long after, there was a knock on Lan Tong's door.

Ji Yu placed something wrapped in a lotus leaf on the table and said, "Here you go."

Lan Tong looked him up and down, and seeing that he had no missing limbs and was not beaten, he turned his gaze to the strange thing on the table.

"What's this?"

"roast chicken."

Ji Yu took out a cleaning pill from the space and crushed it. Only then did Lan Tong notice that his clothes were half wet and half dry.

Light green water ripples spread across the room, and Ji Yu's grey shirt finally returned to its original color.

He then sat down with peace of mind, unwrapped the layers of lotus leaves, and placed a horribly roasted chicken in front of Lan Tong.

"I promise."

Lan Tong pursed her lips and stared at the chicken that had died in such a tragic way. She suddenly felt that she didn't want to eat it so much anymore.

"You suddenly disappeared, so you went to roast chicken?"

"No."
