Lust's Thorn

In Buddhism, wealth, sex, food, fame, and sleep are known as the five desires that trouble people, like thorns pricking the skin, hence "Lust's Thorn."

The moment Yun Tan returned...

Chapter 36 Xinjiang "Mr. Lu." "Manager Yun."...

Chapter 36 Xinjiang "Mr. Lu." "Manager Yun."...

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the stray dog ​​base.

What catches the eye is a row of two-story houses in Uyghur architectural style, built with rammed yellow mud and interlaced wooden beams. They are very simple and primitive, with the courtyard gates wide open.

Lu Wangshan parked the car at the gate of the courtyard.

Hearing the sound of the car engine, a woman quickly ran out of the house. She was wearing a very ethnic-style hat, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. The vicissitudes and wrinkles on her face could not hide the fact that she must have been an iconic beauty.

She smiled innocently, "Hello, hello, are you Boss Lu?"

Lu Wangshan got out of the car and shook her hand. "Hello, I'm Lu Wangshan. What's your name?"

The woman adjusted her collar somewhat awkwardly and introduced herself by listing a long list of names. Then she said, "Everyone calls me Gulizati, which means a blooming flower."

Lu Wangshan smiled and said, "It's a nice name."

Yuntan took Leo out of the car.

Lu Wangshan introduced, "This is Yuntan. This is my dog, Leo. I found him as a stray dog ​​on a business trip to Xinjiang a few years ago."

Gulizati bowed and shook hands with Yuntan. She had eyes as bright as gemstones and said, "You are so beautiful."

"Thank you, you too." Yun Tan said with a smile.

Leo's lustrous fur made Gulizati feel a little ashamed. "You guys are really good at raising them! My puppies here can barely get enough to eat."

"That's different. I heard you have nearly 4,000 stray dogs here?"

"Yes."

“That’s remarkable.”

Gulizati first took them to see the base, which was behind the bungalows.

If it's cold this day, a simple iron shed is used to block the wind. Once the door is opened, the puppies will surround Gulizati affectionately. There are dogs of all breeds and sizes, even some particularly expensive and rare breeds.

Gulizati initially started taking in stray dogs out of love, but gradually she adopted more and more dogs, and finally established a stray dog ​​base.

Food became the most troublesome problem. It was naturally impossible to have a nutritionally balanced meal like Leo did. He was mainly fed with cheap and filling cornmeal mixed with sweet potatoes, cabbage, eggs and meat.

Fortunately, there are some kind restaurant owners nearby who will send them their leftover food. For a private base of this size, it is difficult to consider the issue of dogs not being able to consume too much salt.

Later, Gulizati also tried to open some charitable donation channels through the Internet, but the scale was still too small, and many people were worried about the safety of funds.

Lu Wangshan asked a lot of questions.

He is very attractive when he is working. After asking about the basic situation, I know which parts the subsequent public welfare donations need to be divided into.

Gulizati was very hospitable and invited them to stay for dinner.

After a while, her husband and son also came back.

Her husband is a staff member of a nearby tourist attraction. He is very honest and simple.

My son is a photographer. His main job is to take local wedding photos and videos. In his free time, he also goes to scenic spots to take photos for tourists. He is a thin, dark, handsome and sunny boy.

Gulizati's hospitality was truly hearty, with big plate chicken, hand-pulled lamb, pigeon soup, mixed vegetables, hand-pulled rice, and beef and mutton skewers that he had personally skewered.

Her husband Noor also went to the cellar to get the homemade wine.

Yuntan became excited as soon as he saw the wine, especially since it was homemade, so he quickly took the bowl and went forward.

Nur smiled and poured Yuntan a full bowl. "It's very strong, drink it slowly."

Yun Tan raised his eyebrows: "I'm not afraid, I can drink more than a pound."

Yuntan hadn't had a drink in such a long time that he actually started bragging about his drinking capacity.

Nur was stunned for a moment, then confirmed that Yuntan was not lying. He looked at Lu Wangshan and gave him a thumbs-up: "Your wife can drink more than Uyghur men."

Before Lu Wangshan could speak, Yun Tan quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, you misunderstood, we are not that kind of relationship."

This time, even Gulizati, who was serving the dishes, was stunned: "Aren't you guys?"

The two of them look like a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

"no."

"So what's your relationship?"

Yun Tan took a big gulp of wine. As the long-missed mellow aroma of alcohol spread between his lips and teeth, his mind froze. "We are..."

She couldn't tell this simple and honest family that she and Lu Wangshan were friends with benefits, as it would definitely scare them.

It was Lu Wangshan who took up the remaining half of the sentence: "We're superiors and subordinates. I forgot to introduce you earlier. This is Director Yun, my company's project director."

Yun Tan turned around and Lu Wangshan raised his eyebrows at her.

Yun Tan felt a chill on his back for no reason, and always felt that Lu Wangshan must have some bad tricks waiting for him.

As expected, halfway through the drink, Lu Wangshan snatched the wine glass from her in a disappointing manner.

Before Yun Tan could glare at him, Lu Wangshan spoke slowly, "Director Yun."

Yuntan paused.

Lu Wangshan poured the remaining half glass of wine into his own bowl and said calmly, "You still have a report to write tonight, so don't drink too much."

“…”

Gulizati's son Aisan was also surprised and said, "You still have to write a report at night? You guys are really busy with work."

Yun Tan stared at Lu Wangshan with a forced smile.

Lu Wangshan responded on her behalf: "Yes, our Director Yun is very responsible in his work."

Yun Tan: “…”

I'm going to kill you.

Why is this person so annoying?

Without alcohol, Yuntan ate much faster. Xinjiang cuisine was so delicious that he borrowed their steamer to heat up a meal for Leo. Then Yuntan got up and planned to take Leo out for a walk.

The area around here was not densely populated and they were unfamiliar with the place. Just as Lu Wangshan was about to go with her, Ai Shan stood up and said, "I'll go with you. It's getting dark outside."

"Okay, thank you."

Yuntan wore a scarf and a fluffy gray hat. The wide hat made her face look small and delicate.

The temperature difference between day and night is large here, so Yuntan put clothes back on Leo.

Aisan scratched his head, his cheeks red from the wind: "You guys raised it so well, it's so lucky to have met you."

Yun Tan shrugged: "Our boss raised him very well."

Lu Wangshan glanced at her, but Yun Tan didn't look at him. She turned around and walked out with Leo and Aishan shoulder to shoulder.

Tsk.

Aishan thought Yuntan was so beautiful. He had never seen such a beautiful girl. She was even more beautiful than the actresses on TV.

The 22-year-old Aisan glanced at Yuntan out of the corner of his eye. Her skin was so white that there was no pores at all. He had never seen such good skin. Her eyes were not as big and wide as those of Uyghur girls, but were narrow and fan-shaped. The tails of her eyes were long and narrow, and the eyeliner at the tails was slightly upturned. She had a cool and subtle charm that attracted people's attention involuntarily.

"Are you cold wearing so little?" Yun Tan suddenly asked, turning his head.

The wind was much stronger at night.

Aishan blushed slightly and lowered his head: "No, I'm used to it, and it's not that cold today."

"This isn't even cold, it's much colder than Beijing."

"I've been to Beijing before, and it's indeed much warmer than here."

Yun Tan tilted her head, the wind ruffling her long hair, the moonlight illuminating her eyes. "Are you going to Beijing to study at university?"

"No, no, I signed up for a photography training course in Beijing. I was only there for half a month and I couldn't get used to the food."

Yun Tan laughed and said, "Beijing is a food desert."

Leo finally found a satisfactory spot to relieve himself. Yuntan picked up his feces and threw them into a nearby trash can. He continued, "Your mom said you take great photos. That's amazing. I think Xinjiang's scenery is perfect for cultivating photographers."

Aishan blushed again because of her praise: "If you like, I can take pictures of you tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you."

"Today is your first day here. Have you taken any pictures yet?"

"I took a few photos under the cliff on the way. It's really true that you can take great photos at any place in Xinjiang." Yun Tan opened his mobile phone and showed him the photos Lu Wangshan took of him during the day.

Aishan watched it carefully and praised it sincerely: "It's a great shot. Did your boss take it for you?"

"Um."

“It’s strange how I can see the love that the person took through these photos.”

Yun Tan is very different in each photo and very charming. She is different from the beautiful and shining her at this moment, and more like the unique her in the eyes of the photographer.

Yun Tan was stunned for a moment, muttering "Is this true?" and lowered his head to look at the photos again.

In the end, she just said, "Maybe it's because Leo is here. Our boss really treats him like his son."

-

It was too cold outside, so Yuntan quickly brought Leo back.

Gulizati insisted on inviting them to stay overnight and taking them to try Xinjiang's special breakfast tomorrow morning. It was really hard to refuse such a kind invitation.

Their house has several bedrooms and is occasionally rented out.

For a superior-subordinate relationship like that between Yun Tan and Lu Wangshan, two rooms would naturally be arranged.

Lu Wangshan didn't stop him. After all, no one would know which room he lived in once the lights were turned off.

After washing up, he went to knock on Yuntan's door.

Then, he heard someone walking up in slippers. The door opened, and Yun Tan, wearing a facial mask, poked his head out. "What's up, Boss Lu?"

Lu Wangshan knew Yun Tan would definitely pick on him for drinking, so he used Leo as an excuse: "Leo missed you, let us in first."

Yun Tan raised his hand to block the door: "Boss Lu, it's easy for rumors to spread about you having affairs with female subordinates, not to mention I have to finish a report overnight."

Lu Wangshan smiled. He looked around, then grabbed Yun Tan's chin and kissed her. "Okay, I never mess around with female subordinates, only with Xiao Tan."

Yun Tan then glared at him angrily: "Now you know I'm not your subordinate. You took my wine just now and you clearly promised me on the plane that you wouldn't control my drinking."

"That wine is strong. You've already drunk quite a bit."

Yun Tan snorted, "Don't try to fool me with those words. Let go. I'm closing the door."

"Aren't you afraid of sleeping alone in a place you don't know?"

"Leo can come in and keep me company, but you can't." Yun Tan said, "I need to go to bed early. Aishan and I have an appointment to go take photos early tomorrow morning."

Lu Wangshan frowned slightly: "What were you talking about just now?"

Yuntan simply reached out and pushed him, while pulling Leo in, and slammed the door shut without even looking back.

Lu Wangshan was almost hit on the nose by the door panel. He took a step back and laughed.

This is really irritating.

Since she denied their relationship, he could only explain that they were just superiors and subordinates.

-

Because he hadn't slept alone for a long time, Lu Wangshan suffered from insomnia.

However, my biological clock played tricks on me and I woke up early the next day.

He and Gulizati agreed to go look at nearby sites, hoping to find a more spacious and sanitary place for the 4,000 stray dogs.

We also plan to find a well-qualified local pet hospital or animal husbandry station to discuss cooperation, and provide long-term sterilization and physical examinations for stray dogs in the future.

As for the food issue, it is the simplest. The required food quantity will be further determined based on the number and size of stray dogs. In the future, a special amount of money will be used to purchase dog food, vegetables and meat.

Gulizati was grateful but also a little embarrassed. "I didn't know much about that before, and I didn't raise it well. There's a Doberman Pinscher at the base, but it looks much worse than Leo."

"I'll just keep that one. It's not easy for you to keep so many."

"But why didn't I see Leo this morning? Is he still sleeping?" Gulizati felt strange. Could it be that dogs in Beijing even sleep longer?

"It slept in the next room last night. It woke up, but Yuntan was still asleep."

Gulizati noticed the intimacy in his words and turned her head to see the smile on Lu Wangshan's lips.

This big boss in Beijing is really approachable, and the relationship between his superiors and subordinates is very harmonious.

Lu Wangshan and Gulizati did not return until noon. They confirmed the venue and livestock station and exchanged contact information. After the New Year, the company will have someone to discuss cooperation.

He was indeed using public power for personal gain on this business trip. The inspection of such small investment projects would not take long at all, and the remaining few days would be spent on sightseeing.

"Aishan!" Gulizati suddenly rolled down the car window and called out.

Lu Wangshan looked up and saw two people and a dog in the cedar forest not far away.

Yuntan wore a very bright orange sweater with a dark red plaid long skirt and a pair of brown boots. It was a very lively and mixed outfit, but it was surprisingly harmonious on her and bright and eye-catching in the snow.

Leo was playing with the snow, getting himself covered in it and then shaking it off, over and over again.

Aisan squatted on the ground to take pictures of them with a very professional posture. His cheeks were red from the cold wind, but he couldn't hide his smile.

He is a very professional photographer and is very good at mobilizing the state of the subject.

He praised it non-stop, and it was not superficial praise like "pretty" or "beautiful", but very specific, such as "Yes, yes, this light is great" and "Perfect, Yuntan, you have great expressiveness, look at the leaves."

Even Leo was praised by him and started nodding his head, cooperating very well in taking photos.

Lu Wangshan felt uncomfortable.

Yuntan and Leo were actually cooperating with Aisan to take photos.

Even though he himself knew that his jealousy was inexplicable.

Gulizati drove the car over, and Aisan waved to them excitedly, showing them the photos he had just taken of Yuntan.

The photos are indeed very well taken, with beautiful people and scenery. It can be used as a promotional poster for Xinjiang tourism.

But only Aishan himself knows that the photos he takes are different from those taken by Lu Wangshan. The cloud sandalwood taken by Lu Wangshan's lens is more vivid and interesting, and has the richest vitality.

Leo also ran towards Lu Wangshan and threw himself into his arms.

Yun Tan stepped forward and said, "Boss Lu is back. How was the inspection?"

Lu Wangshan raised his eyes and saw Yun Tan blinking at him with those clear and innocent eyes.

What a petty person.

Before he could speak, Yun Tan suddenly sneezed.

It was so cold that she didn't wear a coat for the photo.

Aishan bent down and picked up the scarf that Yuntan had thrown aside. Just as he was about to give it to her, he saw Lu Wangshan open his clothes and wrap Yuntan in it.

His movements were extremely natural. He lowered his head and held Yun Tan's hand, which was cold. He frowned and took her hand and put it in his pocket. "How old are you? You still don't wear clothes just to look pretty?"

Yuntan's pupils were so dizzy that he didn't even dare to look at Gulizati and Aisan's reactions.

She tried to push him away and whispered, "Hey, Lu Wangshan..."

Did you forget something...?

However, Lu Wangshan still took the scarf from Aishan's hand and tied it on Yuntan very naturally, then took off his coat and put it on her shoulders.

"No, you'll catch a cold."

Lu Wangshan zipped up his pants without saying anything, took her hand and put it in her pocket: "So hurry back."

Gulizati looked at him in surprise and wanted to ask something, but Aisan pushed him forward.

Yun Tan and Lu Wangshan followed behind. Yun Tan whispered, "Lu Wangshan, will you be accused of having an affair?"

He chuckled and shrugged nonchalantly: "Then tell me."

The four of them got in the car together.

After returning, Lu Wangshan began to make a report and recorded the results of the morning's investigation.

Yun Tan sat in the front yard playing in the snow with Leo, and glanced at Lu Wangshan who was sitting by the window indoors.

He really doesn't have any procrastination problem and has strong execution ability, but he is not a workaholic. In addition to his busy work, he also takes time out every year to take Leo out to see the world.

Lu Wangshan just wanted to finish his work quickly and spend some time alone with Yun Tan.

She was really too attractive, and Lu Wangshan didn't want to see her talking and laughing with other men anymore.

After finishing the report, Lu Wangshan went upstairs to get his suitcase and quietly left a stack of cash in the room as food and accommodation for the next two days.

Gulizati warmly invited them to have dinner before leaving, but Lu Wangshan refused on the pretext of schedule arrangements.

Outside the window, Yuntan and Aisan were sitting side by side on a small bench looking at photos.

Yun Tan turned around and was stunned: "Are you leaving?"

"Um."

"Manager Yun, let's add each other on WeChat. I will edit the photos and send them to you when the time comes." Aishan said.

"Okay, thank you." Yun Tan took out his phone and scanned the QR code to add a friend. "Just send me the original picture. I can edit it myself."

"It's okay." Under the warm winter sun, Aisan's healthy wheat-colored skin was rosy and she smiled shyly. "I'm just adjusting the lighting and background. You're the most beautiful model I've ever photographed. There's nothing to fix."

Yun Tan smiled and said, "Thank you, you took such a beautiful picture of me."

Lu Wangshan made an impatient "tsk" sound and said, "Manager Yun, are you leaving or not?"

“…”

Yuntan turned around and glared at him. Why was this guy being so sarcastic?

-

They said goodbye to the Gulizati family and left.

"What are we going to do next?"

"travel."

"Aren't you going to inspect it anymore?"

"The inspection is complete."

Yun Tan once again admired Lu Wangshan's work efficiency. "When will we return to Beijing?"

"The seventh day."

Yun Tan blinked and said, "Then we can still spend five days in Xinjiang?"

"Yeah." Lu Wangshan tilted his head. "What's the matter, Manager Yun?"

Yun Tan smiled and shook his head: "I'll leave it to Mr. Lu to arrange."

The highway had just been cleared of snow early in the morning, and there were piles of snow on both sides of the road. The air was filled with the scent of snowflakes and pine forests, which was refreshing.

The backseat window was halfway down, and Leo was craning his neck to sniff the air.

Aisan drove very fast and all the photos were sent to us before we even reached the next destination.

"Aishan took such a great photo." Yuntan sighed as he admired it.

Lu Wangshan didn't say anything.

Yun Tan didn't pay attention and just threw the two photos into the group. Naturally, he didn't notice that Lu Wangshan's face had darkened.

Elara: "So beautiful, so beautiful!"

Elara: "Captain China's photography skills are amazing!"

Yun Tan: "Hahaha these two photos were not taken by him, but by a handsome Uyghur boy."

Elara: "Are they a Chinese ethnic minority?"

Jiang Zhier sent her two photos of Uyghur female celebrities in China for reference: "Yes, Uyghurs have very three-dimensional and deep facial features, a bit like those in West Asia and the Middle East."

Elara exclaimed, "Xiao Tan's life not only has a Chinese captain, but also a handsome Uyghur boy."

Elara: "Do you have any pictures of the handsome Uyghur boy?"

Yuntan actually took a photo with Aisan and sent it to him.

Elara: "Wow! Thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a sexy complexion!"

Yuntan actually didn't look closely at Aisan's facial features, but after hearing what he said, he clicked on the photo and looked at it carefully.

Lu Wangshan caught a glimpse of Yun Tan typing away, and when he turned his head to look, he saw the enlarged photo of her and Aishan on her phone screen.

His complexion instantly turned darker, and his jaw tightened.

My teeth are about to break.

Before he had a chance to take a photo with Yuntan, she took one with another man.

Really good.

Lu Wangshan was jealous, but he couldn't express it.

Their current relationship couldn't support a question out of jealousy.

The various locations in Xinjiang are far apart. We arrived at the booked resort hotel at four o'clock in the afternoon. The small wooden houses nestled in the snow were as beautiful as scenes from a fairy tale book.

Yun Tan stuck his head out of the window and exclaimed, "Wow!", his eyes sparkling. "Are we staying here tonight? It's so beautiful."

"Well, let's check in first, then finish our meal."

"Okay, okay."

She raised her phone to take a picture, then lazily slumped back into her seat.

When the kitten is satisfied with everything around it, it will reveal a lazy and charming posture - perhaps others may not notice it, but that's how it looks in Lu Wangshan's eyes.

The kitten placed both hands on the car window, with its chin resting on the backs of its hands. Its hair was blown by the wind, revealing a patch of delicate, slightly reddish skin behind its ears.

Lu Wangshan's jealousy was then added to other reaction reagents, bubbling and burning, turning into a more distinct and irresistible desire for the kitten.

"Wait for a while in the car, I'll go check in." Lu Wangshan's throat was slightly hoarse.

Fortunately, the thick clothes won't reveal anything.

The wooden houses here are ordered in sets, including suites, living rooms and bedrooms. Lu Wangshan reserved the best location for viewing the snow scenery.

After checking in, drive directly to the front yard of the designated cabin.

There was heating in the wooden house and it was very warm. Yuntan touched his cheeks which were cold from the wind and comfortably fell into the soft big bed.

Lu Wangshan followed her into the bedroom, then closed the door and locked Leo outside in the living room.

Yuntan crossed her legs, revealing her slender waist and hips.

Before Lu Wangshan could put his hand on her, she had already gotten up again: "I'm going to the bathroom, and then we'll go eat."

It was only after Lu Wangshan followed him into the bathroom that Yun Tan realized something was wrong.

Before she could speak, Lu Wangshan had already put his arms around her waist and kissed her.

The passionate kiss soon deprived her of oxygen and she breathed rapidly.

There was a pleasant scent of freesia in the bathroom of the wooden house. When she rushed to smell the scent of Yuntan, she still wondered in a daze whether it was too weird to kiss so passionately in the bathroom.

She groaned, and crossed her arms across Lu Wangshan's chest: "Wait, wait a minute, Lu Wangshan,"

"Um?"

She felt a little ashamed and embarrassed: "I need to go to the bathroom, please wait a moment."

Lu Wangshan finally let her go.

Before Yun Tan could breathe a sigh of relief, he turned her over, put one leg against the wall, and then lifted her up and swung her back into a squat position.

When Lu Wangshan raised his chin, he realized that he was still wearing sunglasses on his nose. He took them off with one hand and threw them aside, and his nose then rubbed into the soft ground.

"No, no, Lu Wangshan, are you listening to me? I need to go to the bathroom!"

In a calm but serious tone, he said the most absurd thing: "Well, pee."

One time when he took Leo out to play, Leo suddenly rolled around on a piece of grass, rubbing his body against the grass.

Later he looked up information and saw that the puppy particularly liked the smell of the lawn, so he wanted to keep that smell on himself.

He wants that too.

Maybe we should get up early tomorrow?
