44 Just two bites (1/2)

The glow cast by the campfire was flickering and swaying. The woods rustled as the wind blew through it. It was the wonderful melody of leaves brushing against one another.

The black fish was a little too big, in fact. It was so big that Ren Xiaosu didn't think he could finish eating half of it.

But even if he could not finish eating it, it did not mean that he should get robbed at gunpoint by someone for it.

He saw Yang Xiaojin take out a small salt shaker from her tracksuit's shirt pocket and sprinkled it over the fish while holding a black pistol in her other hand. She was not being courteous with Ren Xiaosu at all.

Ren Xiaosu had tried guessing what kind of person Yang Xiaojin was. This reticent girl always looked calm and composed.

Ren Xiaosu guessed that the girl had a cold and callous personality, but he did not expect her to be so temperamental.

From the moment she sat down, Yang Xiaojin had only said one word: fish. Her temper was like a turbulent current hidden under the calm surface of a sea, frightening others.

When Ren Xiaosu saw that Yang Xiaojin had already sprinkled the salt evenly all over the fish, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He looked at Yang Xiaojin and asked, ”Do you have any cumin?”

Yang Xiaojin looked up at him. ”No.”

Now, Ren Xiaosu took a careful look at the gun in Yang Xiaojin's hand. It was an M9, a simple and durable handgun. Of the knowledge covered by his Advanced Firearms Proficiency, it seemed like the M9 was still the pistol he was most familiar with.

Did that mean that Yang Xiaojin used the M9 the most?

Yang Xiaojin hands were not big, but she was able to hold the gun tightly in her hand without any signs of trembling. As such, there was something special about her when she was gripping the M9. The net weight of this gun fully loaded was only 1.2 kilograms, and it was made entirely out of an aluminum alloy. Perhaps that was the reason Yang Xiaojin chose to carry this gun.

After Yang Xiaojin finished sprinkling the salt, she turned to Luo Xinyu and said, ”Come and eat the fish.”

Ren Xiaosu was confused. 'I was only going to let you have two bites. Why would you invite someone else to have some?'

While they were conversing, Liu Bu and Luo Xinyu had gotten up happily and walked over to them. However, Yang Xiaojin pointed her gun at Liu Bu. ”Go back, the owner of this fish does not welcome you.”

Liu Bu stood awkwardly in place as he did not know whether to sit down or continue standing. He had not expected Yang Xiaojin to say something like that!

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. At this point, he could not tell what Yang Xiaojin's way of doing things was. She seemed a little interesting.

Yang Xiaojin turned to look at Ren Xiaosu. ”We'll just have two bites each, nothing more.”

Luo Xinyu sat down and curiously sized up Ren Xiaosu. The atmosphere seemed to have livened up a bit. She laughed and said, ”I won't eat your food for nothing either. Here, I'll let you have two bites of this chocolate in return.”

Luo Xinyu then took out a large piece of chocolate from her pocket and handed it to Ren Xiaosu. She looked to be making a trade.

Ren Xiaosu gave it some thought before taking the chocolate from her. This was his first time seeing the real thing. He had only ever heard Mr. Zhang talking about the high calorie food that could quickly replenish one's physical strength.

However, Old Wang's grocery store in town only sold ordinary white sugar, and it was extremely expensive too. There was no such thing as chocolate in his store.

It was as though ”two bites” had become a tacit agreement between everyone. No one was allowed to eat any more than that.

Ren Xiaosu took the chocolate and removed the wrapper from it. Then he opened his mouth as wide as possible and stuffed all of the chocolate into his mouth in one shot.
