Chapter 14 Take Off Your Clothes
The so-called insect-attracting powder actually attracts snakes.
At Liu Fuying's insistence, Jinli took out the insect-attracting powder and sprinkled it behind the wooden door near the back mountain, then scattered it along the road into the yard little by little. There was a gap under the dilapidated wooden door, just enough for the snake to slip in.
Right now is the time when snakes and insects are most active.
There are big mountains behind us, which will soon attract things.
When Jin Li knocked on the door and came in, her face turned pale, and Liu Fuying knew that a snake was coming.
"Ma'am, Miss, it's time for dinner."
When Liu Shiyuan heard this, she immediately got up and walked out. She had been stuck inside for a whole afternoon and couldn't stand it anymore. She was upset and naturally didn't notice Jin Li's expression or her trembling voice.
Just a few steps into the yard, screams rang out.
Liu Fuying laughed secretly, waiting for Liu Shiyuan to get scared, and then even if he begged her to stay, she would probably refuse.
By the time Liu Fuying went out, the people in the yard had already run away.
The snakes in the yard were frightened by her and returned the way they came and slipped away.
Liu Fuying pretended to look for Liu Shiyuan for a long time. When he found her, she was hiding in the carriage in front of the temple. She refused to get out no matter what and shouted at the coachman to go down the mountain immediately.
Now, Jin Li was also happy.
Before going out to look for people, the insect attracting powder in the yard had already been cleaned up. He returned to the house and waited for a while. After the Taoist priests who were attracted by the screams checked and confirmed that nothing was wrong and left, Liu Fuying changed his clothes.
After all this commotion, it was already completely dark.
After a quick vegetarian meal, Liu Fuying opened the wooden door and walked out.
"Husband, Madam, aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of people or ghosts?"
"I'm afraid of snakes."
"You're so scared, so just don't go."
Liu Fuying suppressed his palpitations and finally stepped into the bushes.
At that time, in the bamboo house under the cliff, Pei Zhouwu's figure was nowhere to be seen. Only the sound of water splashing in the deep pool behind the house could be heard from afar.
Yes, Pei Zhouwu was in the pool of water at this time.
The fact that his clothes were open showed that he was bathing at that moment.
The moonlight shone obliquely on his body, coating his watery moon-white gown with a circle of dazzling silver. The water droplets on his chest were also crystal clear and full of color.
He looked up and looked at the bright moon.
The expression on his face seemed even lonelier than the moonlight.
Although my eyes were on the moon, my mind had already drifted away to who knows where else.
I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't notice the shadow swimming in the water.
Liu Fuying passed through the underwater passage and was about to get out of the water and onto the shore. The closer he got, the more obvious the white shadow swaying in the waves became.
While he was shocked, he also understood that if there was someone there, it must be Pei Zhou Wu.
I could vaguely see his exposed chest.
Last time she had guessed how Pei Zhouwu usually bathed, and even had an illusion about it, but she didn't expect to see it with her own eyes today.
If that's the case, it's all thanks to Liu Shiyuan.
If it weren't for Liu Shiyuan's dragging, she wouldn't have come here until now, and would not have been able to see this touching scene.
She emerged from the water, breathing rapidly and gasping for air, still acting as if she was about to suffocate in the water.
She was still in shock, and Pei Zhouwu on the opposite side was even more shocked.
The phrase "pale as frightened" is rarely used to describe a man without being inappropriate.
"you……"
Today is not the first or the fifteenth day of the month.
He hadn't thought she would come.
Liu Fuying managed to keep his balance, as if he was unaware that Pei Zhouwu was in the water. When he looked closely, he immediately covered his eyes and looked terrified.
"Uncle Pei, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Her tone was full of embarrassment, which made Pei Zhouwu look down. However, he was not without clothes, but had just undressed to make it easier to wash his body.
"Miss Su, I'm really sorry for offending you."
He didn't blame her for trespassing. If there was any offense, it was she who offended him.
Then she remembered the sound of flowing water. Liu Fuying peeped through her fingers and saw him turning around and preparing to walk to the shore.
She put down her hand, frowned and started thinking again.
then……
There was only a loud crash.
Pei Zhouwu turned around quickly after hearing the noise and saw Liu Fuying's body disappearing from the water and falling into the water.
He frowned and walked back. The water ripples continued to shake, but there was no movement from Liu Fuying.
He reached his hand down through the sparkling water, grabbed the person and pulled her up. He then heard her coughing violently, obviously choking underwater.
"Miss Su, what's wrong with you?"
"I... cough cough..." Liu Fuying coughed and slowed down his breathing, and responded incoherently, "I just felt dizzy, and I don't know how I fell in. I can't even stand steadily."
As he spoke, his eyelids drooped again.
Pei Zhouwu didn't think about anything else and just picked the person up sideways.
He hadn't even had the time to fasten his clothes, and his chest, which was covered with water droplets, was half-exposed, which made people even more imaginative.
Liu Fuying leaned softly in his arms and let him carry her into the house.
Pei Zhouwu put her on the bamboo bed. It was neither right nor wrong to cover her with a thin quilt. She was soaked all over now, so even if she covered herself with the quilt, it would be useless and would only make the quilt wet and increase the moisture.
"Why did Miss Su suddenly feel dizzy?"
He was worried that she was sick, and besides, he came at the wrong time today. It was already dark, and she should stay in Prince Qi's mansion and should not appear in this dark mountain.
"I don't know either. It may be because I have been in a bad mood these past two days."
Liu Fuying seemed unable to lift her eyelids, and her tone of voice was soft, like the whimper of a kitten.
"Did something happen in the palace?"
Pei Zhouwu wanted to ask again, but Liu Fuying was in a daze, as if he didn't hear him, and only murmured the word "cold".
Seeing this, Pei Zhouwu knew that if she let nothing be done, she would really get sick.
So he got up from the bed and walked out the door with the heavy sound of the chain dragging behind him.
As soon as he left, Liu Fuying immediately opened her eyes.
In the past, Liu Fuying had no idea that she had so many tricks, and she almost used all thirty-six strategies to have a child.
Pei Zhouwu should have gone to get her something to keep her warm.
But if she wanted to warm herself up, she had to take off her clothes first.
I wonder how Pei Zhouwu would react if he accidentally saw something?
Soon, Pei Zhouwu came back with a pot of charcoal fire.
The charcoal fire left by burning wood was very smoky, and white smoke floated out of the window with the wind.
“Cough…cough cough.”
Liu Fuying turned her head and heard Pei Zhouwu say again: "Miss Su, the nights in the mountains are colder than outside after all, and you must have fainted suddenly because of your weak body. If you are exposed to such heavy humidity, you will definitely fall ill, so..."
He paused, lowered his eyes, and continued.
"So, you should take off your clothes and dry them first."
It was a long time after he finished speaking before Liu Fuying spoke hesitantly, "But, but..."
