The next morning, when Yang Mu'an woke up, Sang Yun had already left.
She glanced at the pillow between the two of them, smacked her lips a few times, stretched, and then slowly got out of bed.
She got up earlier today than yesterday, and when she went out, everyone else was already eating.
She washed up and went to the kitchen to get the food. She had just woken up and returned to her room to eat when Er Ya's mother called her back.
"Mu'an, over here!" she said, waving to Yang Mu'an.
Yang Mu'an turned around and saw several women squatting on the ground, eating breakfast together.
Yang Mu'an hesitated for a moment before carrying his food over.
She glanced at them and stiffly put her own vegetables on the ground.
The group ate and chatted at the same time.
Seeing that Yang Mu'an seemed a little uncomfortable, Er Ya's mother smiled and asked, "Mu'an was a young lady from a wealthy family before, wasn't she?"
Yang Mu'an looked up at her blankly, and she chuckled, not understanding what was going on: "They're not exactly a wealthy family."
Er Ya's mother laughed: "I can tell from the way you eat, Mu An, that you're different from us roughnecks. We don't have as many rules. You'll understand in time. Actually, it's quite comfortable up here on the mountain."
Yang Mu'an swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, smiled and nodded: "Mm."
After finishing their meal, the group took out their own belongings to embroider, wash clothes, and weave cloth.
Aunt Wang handed Yang Mu'an a basket and said with a smile, "Mu'an, I think your embroidery skills are quite good. From now on, you can be in charge of the embroidery on this mountain."
Yang Mu'an took the basket and nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, the group went back to their work.
While they were working, they asked Yang Mu'an about what was happening outside.
It was obvious that they hadn't been down the mountain for a long time, and they were full of curiosity and questions about everything outside.
Yang Mu'an answered their questions one by one.
It was almost noon when Sang Yun returned.
This time, he only glanced at Yang Mu'an before hurriedly darting into the room as if fleeing.
Thinking about what happened last night, he didn't know how to face Yang Mu'an.
Yang Mu'an was unaware of his thoughts.
Several people with sharp eyes also spotted him.
She patted Yang Mu'an's arm: "Mu'an, did you and your husband have a fight? Why did he leave without saying goodbye?"
Yang Mu'an had been embroidering with her head down, and only looked up when she heard the sound. The door was closed, so it must have been Sang Yun who closed it.
She turned to look at the group of women and said with a smile, "No, he must have been too tired. He was fine when he left this morning."
Hearing this, Aunt Wang put down the shoe sole she was holding: "That's true. You two just arrived on this mountain and haven't even had a chance to rest before you're made to work. Here's what I'll do: I'll talk to the second-in-command later and give you a day off tomorrow so you can have a good rest."
"It's alright, Sister Wang, it's not heavy work, we can manage." Yang Mu'an smiled and declined her offer, she hadn't forgotten Sang Yun's purpose in coming to the mountain.
He can use this opportunity to familiarize himself with the mountain environment while he's on patrol.
Aunt Wang shook her head: "It's nothing, it's just a matter of a word. The second-in-command is very good, so you can rest assured."
"In that case... thank you very much, Sister-in-law Wang." Yang Mu'an replied with a smile.
If their arrival is too unusual, it will only arouse suspicion, making things even more difficult...
