This dinner was a comfortable meal with a pure taste of hometown. The three of us finished five dishes and a jar of good daughter's red wine. Xia Chunyu, who was full of wine and food, decided to go out for a walk.
Passing by the kitchen, through the open window, I saw Ye Jiayao struggling to carry water, staggering, and the water spilled on her skirt.
Just when Xia Chunyu wanted to go over and help, Song Qi was faster than him. He stepped forward and took the bucket from Ye Jiayao's hand. Ye Jiayao straightened up and wiped her sweat. She happened to see Xia Chunyu outside the window, rolled her eyes and turned around expressionlessly.
Xia Chunyu was unhappy and inexplicably irritable, and called Song Qi loudly.
Song Qi hurriedly ran out, and Xia Chunyu said: "I won't be patrolling the mountain today. You can go for a tour in my stead."
Song Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "Then I'll help my sister-in-law get some water and go."
Xia Chunyu shouted: "Go now."
Song Qi was so frightened that he peed his pants and thought to himself: Something is wrong with the Third Master today. Why did he lose his temper for no reason? Still think the dinner is not delicious enough
After sending Song Qi away, Xia Chunyu also sent Peng Wu out. Then he moved a chair and sat leisurely in the yard to enjoy the cool air. He glanced at the kitchen from time to time and said to himself: Look who else is helping you now to make you dare. Ignore me.
Ye Jiayao very much suspected that the third boss was deliberately causing trouble. It was unlucky to meet such a dead man. He had no ideological awareness to help others, and he came specifically to cause trouble. Song Qi spoke so well of him purely to flatter him. , she looked from above, from below, and couldn't tell that he was a good person.
There was no one to help, so Ye Jiayao had to go to the well to fetch water. Damn, this ancient equipment was so backward that even taking a bath would exhaust her to death.
Xia Chunyu waved the cattail leaf leisurely and leisurely watched Ye Jiayao pass by him with difficulty carrying a bucket.
If you can’t lift it, just ask me! For the sake of this dinner, I reluctantly helped. An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Xia Chunyu's lips, waiting for someone to ask him for help.
But Ye Jiayao walked away without even looking at him.
The second trip, the third trip...
Xia Chunyu couldn't sit still, stinky girl, if she asks for help, will she die or something
Ye Jiayao gets angry every time she sees him acting like he doesn't deserve a beating, he's a worthless man.
"Hey, make me a cup of tea." Xia Chunyu cleared his throat and ordered.
Ye Jiayao really wanted to put a bucket on his head and feed you. Didn't you see that I am busy? Do you have no arms or legs? He's just a bandit leader, but he still thinks he's an official? Treat her like a girl.
Being ignored again, Xia Chunyu shook the fan vigorously and almost scattered the cattail leaf fan. He was about to get angry when he saw Ye Jiayao bring a cup of tea with an expressionless face, put the cup into his hand, and turned around to get water again.
"Hey, stop."
Xia Chunyu wanted to say, what is your attitude? But the next action was to stand up, put the tea cup back into her hand, then take her bucket and go to the well.
I must have had my brain caught in the door. I have nothing to do after I have eaten, and I am free.
Ye Jiayao was very surprised. Has his conscience finally found out? Recognize that as a man, it is shameful to watch a woman do the hard work without helping.
Someone brought the water, and Ye Jiayao hurriedly washed the dishes and cooked the pots. She didn't want to touch these greasy pots and pans again after washing them.
"There is enough water. Remember to clean the bathtub after use." Someone stood at the door and said coldly.
Ye Jiayao had just had a slight change in her opinion of him, but she was immediately shaken back to her original state by these words. Damn it, you think I'm dirty! I don’t think you’re dirty yet!
Ye Jiayao resisted the urge to roll her eyes and continued to ignore him.
Xia Chunyu felt bored and left with a gloomy face.
After a while, Ye Jiayao came into the room, rummaged through the cabinets, finally found one of his cotton robes, rolled it up and went out again.
Xia Chunyu opened his mouth, then sat back angrily, extremely irritated. Doesn't this woman even need to ask him for permission to wear his clothes? Do you really think you are the hostess here
Ye Jiayao closed and bolted the front and back doors of the kitchen, and finally she could take a bath in peace. Huh? What is this
Ye Jiayao saw something yellow on the chair next to the bathtub. She picked it up and smelled it. There was a faint scent of soap locust. Was it soap? Although the workmanship is a bit rough, it's better than nothing. If there is a chance, she will improve it. This is an issue related to the quality of life.
Uh, that dead man must have put it here. Ye Jiayao curled her lips, okay! He wasn't that hopeless, and he even knew how to prepare soap for her.
Song Qi walked around and came back, and saw the third master wandering at the entrance of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
"The third boss has completed his inspection and everything is normal."
Xia Chunyu said seriously: "Go and patrol again."
Song Qi was stunned. Patrol again? Did he hear it right
"Why are you still standing there? Go quickly and don't come back within an hour." Xia Chunyu waved his hand impatiently.
Song Qi reacted slowly, maybe it was because her sister-in-law was taking a bath, and the Third Master was afraid of any inconvenience!
"Yes, I'm going to patrol again, and patrol carefully." Song Qi turned back and patrolled the mountain arduously.
"Beautiful bubbles, although there are fireworks for a moment, and all your promises, although they are too fragile, but love is like a bubble, if you can see through it, what's the sadness..."
Ye Jiayao sang and played with soap bubbles. The warm water gently wrapped her skin, brushing away the fatigue and soreness all over her body, and her mood became better.
When I have a chance to escape, I will first find a restaurant to work as a chef, slowly accumulate capital, and open a restaurant in the future, and I must make it the most prosperous and carry forward the Chinese food culture.
Ye Jiayao thought beautifully as she reached for the soap. In the mist, she seemed to see something moving. She took a closer look and immediately let out a scream.
The sharp screams pierced the quiet courtyard. Xia Chunyu, who was sitting on a chair in the courtyard with his eyes squinting to enjoy the coolness, was so frightened that he almost rolled off the chair.
Without thinking, he rushed to the west wing. Well, the door was bolted.
The screams continued, Xia Chunyu took two steps back and kicked in. The poor wooden door was kicked into pieces.
I saw a cobra with black and white patterns swimming towards the tub with its neck and belly upright. Xia Chunyu stepped forward and with lightning speed, he pinched seven inches of the snake, shook it hard and threw it out.
The cobra was thrown against the wall, all its joints were broken, and it fell down like a rotten straw, and it could no longer swim.
Xia Chunyu dealt with the threat and turned to look at Ye Jiayao, only to see that her face was livid, her eyes were dull, and she was frightened.
"Are you...are you okay?"
Ye Jiayao couldn't speak, she just trembled uncontrollably.
Xia Chunyu frowned, grabbed her robe, reached out to fish her out of the tub, wrapped her in her robe and carried her out. Feeling that the person in his arms was shaking, Xia Chunyu couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Ye Jiayao grabbed his collar tightly and started shaking even more violently.
Xia Chunyu put her on the bed and said angrily: "You are so useless, just a snake can scare you like this."
Ye Jiayao cried "Wow", her severely frightened heart was extremely fragile, and all kinds of suppressed bad emotions suddenly poured out like a flood that burst a dam, out of control.
Damn it, I'm not afraid of anything but snakes! Even if she is bitten to pieces by a lion or tiger, she will not be bitten by a snake. Damn, why are there such disgusting and terrifying animals in this world... I have to go down the mountain. I am determined not to stay in such a ghost place...
Ye Jiayao threw herself into his arms, wiping her tears and snot on his clothes.
It was the first time that Xia Chunyu had experienced a woman's shocking crying skills. She was completely at a loss. This damn woman was just a snake, so what? Don’t you know how to be more reserved when crying? Doesn't it make me feel more pity for you to cry? I don't know, I thought he did something to her.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, the snake has been killed by me."
"Woooooooo..."
"Whether you are done or not, if you cry again I will throw you into the snake's nest."
"woo woo woo woo… "
"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, so stop crying."
"Woooo..."
Xia Chunyu patted her back awkwardly to comfort her.
Ye Jiayao's crying finally subsided, but she still had lingering fears, and her mind was uncontrollably thinking, what if she didn't find the snake, what if the snake crawled into the tub...
The tears still couldn't be stopped and kept falling. She grabbed his sleeve to wipe the tears and sobbed: "What if there is another snake? What if you are not here?"
Xia Chunyu looked at his miserable sleeves and was completely speechless.
"There are so many snakes, it's just a coincidence." Xia Chunyu wrote lightly.
"No, Song Qi said he caught one in the yard a few days ago." Ye Jiayao said angrily.
"That's also a coincidence."
"There are so many coincidences."
"That's right, so you are unlucky." Xia Chunyu said leisurely.
Ye Jiayao "..."
She was indeed unlucky, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to enter this bandit's den. Even if he was bullied, he was almost scared to death by a snake.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and clean up. I'll pick up the snake. We can make snake soup tomorrow." Xia Chunyu finally broke away her hand that was holding on to his clothes. Her hair was still wet. The robe was draped loosely on her body, the spring light was leaking out, and the curves were alluring. Xia Chunyu's throat tightened, and she hurriedly got up and went out.
Ye Jiayao: "..."
Snake stew
Then he roared loudly: "Throw the snake away, throw it out, I don't want to make snake soup, and I won't even kill it."
Xia Chunyu's ears were buzzing from her roar, and he dug his ears depressedly, damn woman, couldn't you lower your voice? If you don't do it, why don't you ask Lao Yutou to do it? Cobra meat is so delicious that it would be a pity to throw it away.
Xia Chunyu came to the west wing. The ground was in a mess, with sawdust, water stains, and scattered clothes. Wait until Song Qi and the others come back to clean up? No, who knows what these bachelors will think when they see such a scene. It's so fucking bad that I have to clean up her mess.
