After Li Xian finished bathing and changed her clothes, she called Lin Wanyue in. At this time, it was already a little dark, and there were no lights in the West Room, and the whole room was covered with a haze of night.
When Lin Wanyue came in, she was first caught by the rippling light in the wooden barrel, and then she saw Li Xian after bathing.
The hibiscus comes out of the clear water, and the carvings are naturally removed.
Li Xian, who had just taken a bath, still had a touch of water vapor on her body, and her skin was extraordinarily supple. The coarse cloth clothes she wore did not affect Li Xian's temperament like a lotus flower.
No fancy clothes, no makeup or powder, but the beauty of the country and the city.
Lin Wanyue was stunned. She stood in front of the wooden barrel and stared blankly at Li Xian, without concealing the surprise in her eyes.
Li Xian naturally saw the gaze that Lin Wanyue was looking at her, and that gaze was like fire. In this dimly lit room, it shone brightly and caught Li Xian's eyes.
Facing Lin Wanyue's eyes like this, Li Xian couldn't hate it, because Li Xian didn't find any desire or distraction in Lin Wanyue's eyes.
Li Xian just read it from Lin Wanyue's eyes, she was amazed, admired and praised...
No woman can be indifferent under such a gaze, especially Lin Wanyue, who does not carry any malice, purely out of admiration and amazement.
Women all love beauty, and they also long to be appreciated, even Li Xian is no exception.
"Lin... Feixing, I've washed it, please pour out the water."
Li Xian sat slowly on the warm kang with a hint of shyness on her face.
"Ah... oh, oh, well, I'll go right now."
Lin Wanyue suddenly recovered when she heard Li Xian's voice, raised the bucket in her hand, scooped out a full bucket from the big wooden bucket, lifted it up easily, and carried it out swiftly.
Lin Wanyue's movements were quick, and she emptied the bath water in the big wooden bucket in a few trips.
In the end, Lin Wanyue held the empty bucket and said to Li Xian, "Xianer, you should go to bed first, I'll go wash too, and I'll be back later."
After finishing speaking, he left the Westinghouse with a wooden barrel.
Li Xian looked back at the kang behind her. The kang was not small, and could accommodate at least five or six adults to lie down, but there was only one quilt and pillow.
This made Li Xian in trouble. How could she sleep
In fact, Lin Wanyue doesn't have the habit of bathing every day. She lives in a military camp where there will be war at any time, and she is surrounded by rough men who don't know what privacy is. After a long time, no matter how much she likes clean girls, In the end, they will slowly succumb to the environment.
Even now, Lin Wanyue still felt that it was not safe for her to take a bath, but when Lin Wanyue thought that she would be in the same room with Li Xian later, the idea of "bathing" became stronger in her mind. stand up.
Especially just now, when Lin Wanyue was guarding the door, when he heard the faint sound of water coming from the house, he couldn't help but smell his body, which was indeed a familiar smell.
Lin Wanyue frowned. This kind of smell could be said to be permeating everywhere in the military camp before, but at this time, Lin Wanyue felt a deep sense of unease about her own smell, almost subconsciously: Lin Wanyue Yue didn't want Li Xian to smell the sweat on her body, and she didn't want Li Xian to see herself so sloppy.
Especially seeing Li Xian's appearance after bathing, Lin Wanyue became more and more resistant to her dirty self.
Coincidentally, when Lin Wanyue put the chopped firewood into the firewood room, she found that there was a large open space in the firewood room, more than enough to put a wooden barrel, and she had already greeted the old couple in advance, and Li Xian It will never come to the woodshed.
Lin Wanyue took a shower as fast as she could, and then went into the donkey cart to secretly change a piece of clothes.
After doing everything well, Lin Wanyue raised her arm and sniffed carefully before showing a satisfied smile, and then returned to the Westinghouse refreshed.
In the Westinghouse, Li Xian did not lie down, but sat on the heated kang.
Lin Wanyue glanced behind Li Xian, and immediately understood the joints. It turned out that there was only a quilt and pillows.
Lin Wanyue didn't say a word, she smiled at Li Xian, then turned back to the donkey cart, grabbed a bag, and returned to the Westinghouse.
Lin Wanyue put the burden on the top of the kang, and said to Li Xian, "Xianer, the situation forces you to be wronged tonight, but I think this kang is quite big, and I sleep on the kang top. Can you sleep on the kang head?"
Seeing Li Xian nod, Lin Wanyue took off her shoes, jumped onto the bed, put her head on the wrap, turned her body sideways, and left her entire back to Li Xian.
Li Xian was grateful for Lin Wanyue's consideration. Li Xian had never tried to sleep under the gaze of a "stranger" man.
Li Xian looked at Lin Wanyue's back, then placed the pillow, slowly put it on the heated kang, lay down, and pulled the quilt over her body.
"Feixing... It doesn't matter if you don't cover the quilt?"
Lin Wanyue heard Li Xian's voice and knew that she was already lying down, so she turned around, lay flat on the heated kang and replied, "It doesn't matter, this kang should be hot until dawn, much better than the wooden beds in our military camp. It's fine without a blanket."
…
"Xian'er, go to sleep, there is still a day's journey tomorrow."
"Um."
Hearing Li Xian's voice, Lin Wanyue smiled silently, then closed her eyes, and after a while, there was an even breathing sound.
However, Li Xian couldn't sleep. Such a hard bed was the first time Li Xian had ever slept in her life. After lying down for a while, Li Xian felt her entire back numb.
But in a room alone with a "man", Li Xian didn't dare to act rashly.
It wasn't until she heard Lin Wanyue's long and even breathing that Li Xian gently turned to the side.
It was already completely dark, and in a room without any light source, Li Xian could no longer see Lin Wanyue's face even if the distance was very close.
Occasionally, Lin Wanyue's subtle breathing could be heard, and Li Xian felt a little envious when she heard such a voice, and secretly thought: This person is really not picky eaters and not afraid of hardships, and can overcome any circumstances.
No pillow, no quilt, such a hard bed, you can sleep so sweetly.
After thinking about it, Li Xian laughed silently.
Li Xian didn't know when she fell asleep, but she didn't sleep peacefully that night.
When Lin Wanyue woke her up softly, Li Xian only felt that her whole body was aching and her head was tingling. She was even more tired than staying up all night.
Lin Wanyue also saw the tired look on Li Xian's face, knowing that Li Xian couldn't adapt to such an environment at all, she couldn't help feeling pity in her heart.
Lin Wanyue helped Li Xian up from the kang, then instructed her to sit on the kang for a while, then turned around and went out and brought in a water basin.
Lin Wanyue soaked the clean cloth in the water basin, twisted it until it was 80% dry, and folded it neatly before handing it to Li Xian: "Xianer, wipe your face first."
Li Xian took the wet clean cloth that Lin Wanyue handed over. She had a warm hand, and after applying it to her face, she immediately felt much more comfortable.
"Thank you." Li Xian warmed her heart and said to Lin Wanyue sincerely.
"I'll bring you breakfast, and we'll leave after we finish eating."
"it is good."
After a while, Lin Wanyue brought the meal back.
A bowl of porridge, a bowl of the same wild vegetables as last night, two pieces of steamed buns, and a small plate of pickles.
It seemed so much more gorgeous than last night's meal!
Lin Wanyue moved over the kang table and placed the porridge in front of Li Xian naturally: "Xianer, you eat this bowl of porridge, the aunt made it especially for you."
After speaking, Lin Wanyue grabbed a piece of steamed bun and ate the wild vegetable in a big mouthful.
And in the east house in the same yard, the old couple was also ready to have dinner.
Seeing the two bowls of white rice porridge appearing on the table, the old man widened his eyes and asked, "Where did you get the refined grains?"
"The young man who stayed overnight bought it at Zhang Erfu's house at the head of the village when he went to fetch water yesterday. It was full! Let me make porridge this morning, give his wife a bowl, and we will eat the rest. ."
"Tsk tsk, this young man is a good worker, and he knows how to hurt people. It's really nothing to say."
The old man is also happy to have refined grains to eat. The two old people are getting older, and the only son died in battle. As time goes by, slowly, the work in the fields gradually becomes unusable, and the day goes by. It's better to cook some wild vegetables and put a handful of salt in it every day, and eat buns with rough noodles for three meals a day.
Unexpectedly, when they kindly took in an offspring couple for the night, they actually had a meal of refined grains to eat, and the faces of the two elders showed a happy smile.
The old man took a few mouthfuls of porridge in his mouth, and suddenly found a "hard thing". He picked it up with a bamboo chopstick and looked at it. His eyes widened and he exclaimed, "How come there are still boiled eggs?"
"It was also the descendant. I bought it at Zhao Xiaohua's house. I bought four of them, one for each of us."
"Tsk tsk, white rice porridge with boiled eggs, it's really the days of the landlord's house."
…
A bowl of plain white porridge with two boiled eggs was the simplest breakfast Li Xian had ever eaten in her life, but it warmed her stomach.
How smart is Li Xian? This old couple didn't raise chickens at all, and even if they did, they would never be willing to give eggs to two strangers to eat. This must be what the person in front of them thought of.
Li Xian wanted to give Lin Wanyue one of the two eggs, but Lin Wanyue didn't want it. She even said with plausibility that she ate Li Xian's steamed buns, and it was fair for Li Xian to eat her eggs.
In the end, even "supervisor" Li Xian showed a satisfied smile after eating a bowl of porridge and two eggs.
After breakfast, Lin Wanyue and Li Xian were ready to continue their journey. The second elder, thanking Lin Wanyue, also had a hearty breakfast. Seeing that Lin Wanyue and Li Xian were leaving, they both walked out of the east room to see them off.
The old woman kindly took Li Xian's hand and said with a smile, "Girl, your husband is really good at living, with all his strength, he works quickly, and he knows how to hurt others, so you two will definitely have a good life in the future. It's booming!"
Hearing this, Li Xian showed a faint smile. The old man seemed to like Lin Wanyue's appearance very much, so he patted Lin Wanyue on the shoulder when he delivered it to the door, and said, "Young man, when you settle down in Liancheng, you can come back when you have time. take a look."
Hearing what the old man said, Lin Wanyue felt a little disappointed in her heart, but she nodded and agreed. She turned around and helped Li Xian carefully onto the donkey cart, bowed to the second old man, and then untied the reins and led the donkey cart away. .
