Chapter 73: Tryst

Qin Huiyin wandered around the outskirts of the mountain and gained some harvests, but not much. After all, the outskirts of the mountain were where the villagers lived, and almost everything that could be eaten had been picked. Those that they didn't recognize were either pulled out as weeds or trampled on and completely destroyed.

She stood at the entrance of the deep mountain, hesitating, thinking about the experience when she followed Song Ruize into the deep mountain. The deep mountain was indeed much more dangerous than the outside. Not to mention those large beasts, even poisonous insects and snakes could scare the timid. She was not afraid of those poisonous insects and snakes, but if she encountered a large beast, her small body would not be enough for it to swallow.

The image of being swallowed by a black bear suddenly appeared in her mind, and she quickly dismissed the idea. If Song Ruize was there, she could still take the risk. Without him, no one dared to go to the deep mountains, and it was indeed too risky for her to go alone.

Qin Huiyin did not rush down the mountain, but continued to look for resources in the mountains. She climbed up the tree and carefully took the eggs from the bird's nest.

I had just put the bird eggs into the basket and was about to slowly climb down the tree when I saw a man and a woman walking towards me.

The man was unfamiliar and she had never seen him before, but she saw the woman often. However, every time she saw her, she would just raise her head, snort, and walk past her.

"Xiu'er, did you miss me?" The man hugged her and kissed her eagerly.

Qin Huiyin: “…”

I dared not get down from the tree.

Tang Mingxiu is the daughter of Wang and Tang Jiang next door. After the quarrel with Wang last time, the neighbor didn't dare to fight again, but every time he cursed, he deliberately raised his voice and cursed at someone. Li Taohua also cursed back at someone after hearing what they said, anyway, she would never suffer a loss.

Tang Mingxiu is only fifteen years old and hasn’t gotten married yet. Who is this man?

"Be gentle..." Tang Mingxiu pushed shyly, wanting to refuse but also to welcome.

"I've been missing you for the past half month. Let me take a good look at you."

As he said that, the man actually started to take off Tang Mingxiu's clothes.

Qin Huiyin frowned, wondering if this man and woman would actually fight in a place like this?

Although she was already in her twenties in her previous life, she had never had a boyfriend. In addition, the man was at best just good-looking, very petite in both height and body shape, and there was really nothing good about him.

Qin Huiyin heard a hissing sound, turned around and saw a small red snake crawling towards her on the tree.

She looked at the little snake thoughtfully.

Seeing the little snake getting closer and closer, she didn't panic. When the little snake crawled in front of her, she grabbed her vital point and threw it away neatly.

"Ah, what is this?" Tang Mingxiu was being kissed by a man against a tree trunk. Her clothes were torn open, revealing her fair skin.

Suddenly, an unidentified object fell from the sky and slid across her skin, frightening her so much that she turned pale.

The man was in high spirits and was very angry, but her scream ruined his mood. He was worried that she would attract other people, so he quickly covered her mouth.

"Keep your voice down, do you want others to see us like this?"

Tang Mingxiu pointed at the man's shoulder and said with a pale face: "Snake...snake...there is a snake on the shoulder..."

The man froze.

He had heard the hissing sound. Most importantly, the snake crawled across his neck, and the cold touch made his hair stand on end.

"Quick...quickly...get it open for me..."

"I'm afraid."

"Hurry up, use something to pick it open..."

Qin Weiyin sat on the treetop and watched the show.

Tang Mingxiu didn't dare to do it, and the man didn't dare to move. Tang Mingxiu could only cry, and the man became impatient and scolded her for being useless.

The two were affectionate the moment before, but now they are blaming each other, tearing off their disguises and revealing their ugly true faces.

Finally, the snake couldn't stand it anymore and left the man.

The man sat down on the ground, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Brother Chunsheng..." Tang Mingxiu carefully pulled at the corner of his clothes. "Where's the rouge you promised to buy for me?"

The man pushed her hand away and said impatiently, "I didn't bring it with me today."

"You promised to buy me rouge last time, how can you break your promise? You kissed me and looked at me, and now you regret it, I want to tell my mother..."

"Then go ahead and tell me! I want to see what you have to say. Who saw it? Do you have any evidence? Then you will be the only one who will be infamous."

"You...Brother Chunsheng, how could you do this to me?"

"Okay, stop crying. It's not a good day to go out today. Let's meet somewhere else next time. Don't come to this kind of hell. It's a bummer."

The man ran away as if there was a ghost chasing him, not wanting to stay here for even a moment. He didn't care about Tang Mingxiu who was still in the mountain.

Tang Mingxiu cursed the man for not caring about her life or death, saying that he did not keep his word, and also said that he would not give her rouge or let her kiss him next time.

Qin Huiyin: “…”

After Tang Mingxiu left, Qin Huiyin finally came down from the tree.

She just saw something that was eye-catching, so she had to go back and wash her eyes.

Qin Huiyin was going down the mountain carrying a backpack and bumped into Tang Mingxiu who was running back in a hurry.

When Tang Mingxiu saw Qin Huiyin, his face turned pale, and he glared at her fiercely: "Why are you here?"

Qin Huiyin knew what Tang Mingxiu was nervous about, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she looked at her with a strange look: "Is this mountain yours?"

"you……"

"You sound so confident. I thought your family bought the mountain and didn't allow anyone else to go up there."

Qin Huiyin was about to leave, but Tang Mingxiu blocked her way. She said stiffly, "Where were you just now?"

"I'm picking mushrooms." Qin Huiyin tilted the backpack. "You're not going to say that the mushrooms I picked are yours and won't let me take them away, are you?"

"Who told you this?" Seeing her like this, Tang Mingxiu felt relieved.

She looked at Qin Huiyin carefully and saw that she looked normal, nothing special. She must have really no idea about her and that man.

Tang Mingxiu ran back because she found that her earrings were missing. The earrings were made of silver and were very valuable.

She rushed back to where she was just now, and after searching for a while, she finally found the lost earring in the grass.

"Great, it's not lost."

She had just put on her earrings when her eyes were drawn to a pair of footprints under the opposite tree. She felt confused, her feet went weak, and she sat on the ground.

"She lied to me." Tang Mingxiu exclaimed, "No, we can't let her go down the mountain and talk nonsense."

Tang Mingxiu got up and ran down the mountain at a very fast speed.

She ran very fast, and when she saw Qin Huiyin, she had not yet returned home, but was squatting by the river washing her face.

Tang Mingxiu looked at Qin Huiyin's figure.

Qin Huiyin is still young, but her facial features, skin, and even her speech and behavior are very different from those of the girls in this village.

At this moment, she was squatting there washing her face, her movements as graceful as a lady in a painting.

A wild beast grew in Tang Mingxiu's heart, and the beast told her: There is no one around now, if you push it away, no one will know it was you who did it.
