"Heh~ Xiao Chen, your husband really loves guns to the point of madness. It's such a hot afternoon, and he doesn't mind at all, lying in the sand and happily shooting targets?" Cao Mei, who was watching a movie with a notebook, turned to glance at Chen Yalan and smiled boredly.
Looking at Cao Mei, who was obviously younger than herself, calling her Xiao Chen, a hint of displeasure flashed in Chen Yalan's eyes. However, she quickly smiled and said, "My old William is just like that. The biggest regret of his life is that he didn't become a soldier back in the day. He always says that if he had been a soldier, he would definitely have joined the special forces. Haha~ This has influenced both me and Xiao Jie, and whenever he has free time, he drags us up into the mountains. I don't mind, but Xiao Jie is almost being turned into a wild child by him!"
"Heh~ My man is just like that!" Cao Mei looked affectionately at Jack, who was lounging on a deck chair, her eyes filled with undeniable pride. She playfully said, "When he first saw the movie poster of Sister Ru, he didn't even notice her face; instead, he was focused on her gun. He remembers the model of the gun clearly, but he can't recall what the beauty looks like at all. He and your old William are really cut from the same cloth!"
"Not the same!" Chen Yalan stretched lazily in her chair and smiled, saying, "Your Lin Ye is a man of great ability. Didn't you say he could easily take down a zombie without a gun? Our old William is far from that. Here, besides Miss Bai, you're the only one with such good fortune, right?"
"Hehe~" Cao Mei covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, clearly pleased. She said proudly, "It's not that I look down on them; those wild bees and butterflies are definitely not the type my man would even touch. Our man has very discerning taste!"
"Miss Cao, is there still any sweet potato or dried bamboo shoots on the mountain? If there is, we'd like to go up and dig some more. After all, it feels a bit awkward to keep eating your food!" At this moment, the bald old Lu walked over, nodding and bowing to Cao Mei.
"There should still be some, though the sweet potatoes might be running low. But there are plenty of dried bamboo shoots all over the mountain; you can dig as you please!" Cao Mei glanced at old Lu lightly, but noticed that beneath his respectful exterior, his eyes were fixated on her delicate feet resting on the table, with a lewd glint flashing in his eyes. Cao Mei frowned in displeasure, immediately pulled her feet back, and coldly glared at Lu Bin, saying in a deep voice, "If you want to die, go ahead and look!"
"Uh…" Lu Bin was startled, just about to explain something, but was quickly pulled away by Chen Yalan, who shot him a fierce glare and shouted, "Why are you still standing there like a useless log? Go get the shovel!"
After Chen Yalan hurriedly took Lu Bin away, Bai Ru turned her gaze away from the computer screen, tilted her head, and said to Cao Mei, "That old man has a very wicked eye; he's clearly not a good person!"
"Hmph~ Not only is he not a good person, but he's also a lecherous scoundrel, completely controlled by his lower half!" Cao Mei sneered disdainfully, then helplessly added, "Sigh~ It's a pity that such an honest man like William Guodong has to suffer. He's lying in the sand playing with his gun, while someone is pressing his wife down in the sand. He's so foolish that he thinks that guy is a man!"
"What? Are you saying Chen Yalan and that old Lu?" Bai Ru was taken aback, looking at Cao Mei in disbelief, then frowned and said, "Would Chen Yalan really be willing to be with such a disgusting man? Although Chen Yalan isn't particularly beautiful, she wouldn't be that desperate, would she?"
Glancing at Jack, who was gradually falling asleep not far away, Cao Mei leaned in and whispered to Bai Ru, "Just because she's average-looking doesn't mean she's not a gem in that bald man's eyes. Besides, Chen Yalan's eyes are so alluring they could practically drip water. From my experience, this type of woman is typically extremely lewd. As long as the other party has something she finds slightly appealing, she absolutely won't care if that person is old or ugly. Moreover, with her looks, what's there to be picky about?"
A beautiful and tempting young woman, in the mouths of these two higher-status women, directly became an average-looking, available country woman. If Chen Yalan heard this, who knows if she would go mad? Meanwhile, Bai Ru blinked thoughtfully and smiled at Cao Mei, saying, "But your eyes are also quite alluring; how can you say that about her?"
"Do you dislike it? My kind of charm is different from hers. Mine is a seductive charm, while hers is more flirtatious!" Cao Mei playfully slapped Bai Ru and struck a pose full of allure with a smile.
"Even if they had something in the past, it's impossible today. Didn't you see that Marcus and his wife went along too? They can't do that in front of others, right? That would be too obvious, wouldn't it? Besides, you're just guessing!" Bai Ru shook her head in disagreement, feeling that Cao Mei was being too scandalous about that woman.
"You're so silly! If they went along, what could they do? The mountain is so big; they could easily find an excuse to get away! As long as that bald guy is quick, who would know what they did!" As she spoke, Cao Mei's eyes twinkled, and she whispered to Bai Ru, "Hey, do you want to find out if they really have something going on? Since we have nothing to do, let's follow them and see!"
"Huh? Follow them…" Bai Ru hesitated and glanced at Cao Mei, but it seemed that every woman had a burning gossip spirit inside her, even the big stars were no exception. After a moment of internal struggle, Bai Ru's eyes lit up, and she nodded, saying, "But how do we know where they are? The mountain is so big!"
"Hehe~ That's easy!" Cao Mei suddenly snapped her fingers mysteriously, waved to Mikael, who was grooming A Xue in front of the house, and called out, "Xiao Le, come here!"
"What do the two mistresses need?" Mikael immediately wagged his tail and came over, grinning widely, eager to flatter his mistress.
"Do you want to see some cheating?" Cao Mei smiled and patted Mikael's head, speaking in a low, proud voice.
"See it live? I love that! Let's go, let's go!" Mikael perked up immediately, and after Cao Mei whispered a name to him, he dashed out like a whirlwind.
Ten minutes later, Bai Ru and Cao Mei were both sitting on Mikael as he trudged forward, his long tongue hanging out like an old donkey nearing its end. He left deep footprints with each step and weakly said to the two women on his back, "Please, mistresses, have mercy! I'm exhausted; it can't be far now, so why don't you get down and walk?"
"Stop playing dead! You're so fat; carrying two little women is nothing. A Xue carries you every day, so why can't we?" Cao Mei angrily tugged at Mikael's big ears.
"I'm not a horse; my body structure is different! You're still two people, and my back is about to break!" Mikael sighed and leaned against a big rock, sitting down on the ground, refusing to move any further.
"Why aren't you leaving? You really dare to be lazy, don't you?" Cao Mei said angrily, slapping Michael on the head.
"The four of them are on the hillside behind us. You have to give them some time to separate, right? Otherwise, how can we sneak a peek?" Michael replied irritably, turning his head.
"That's true. They must be pretending to dig bamboo shoots to separate!" Cao Mei nodded in realization, excitedly jumping off Michael's back.
"Cao Mei, wasn't the place for digging bamboo shoots this morning on the hill behind the house? How did they end up here? Do they know there are dried bamboo shoots here?" Bai Ru looked around curiously; this place was clearly different from where they had come in the morning.
"Who knows? Maybe Chen Yalan and the others are afraid that William Guodong will find out, so they deliberately brought Marcus and the others here!" Cao Mei shrugged, indicating she was unsure. Then she shaded her eyes and looked into the distance, suddenly pointing at a white building and saying, "Hey, Michael, can you see what that white building is? It looks quite big. If there weren't any zombies, it wouldn't be bad to stay there tonight!"
"Come on, I'm neither a horse nor a telescope, okay? If the wind were right, maybe I could smell something, but that place is at least five or six kilometers away from us, and against the wind. How can I see it?" Michael said, looking exasperated.
