There are four hot springs of different sizes in this mountain.
The small ones can hold two people, while the large ones can hold more than ten.
When they come to hunt, they often go there to soak in the water, which makes them feel completely refreshed.
At this time, everyone except those on duty was soaking in the hot spring.
Liu Moyang sat in the smallest hot spring, rubbing He Xiaobao, who was sitting in a wooden tub floating on the surface of the hot spring, and clicked his tongue inwardly: He Jianxing went to guard his wife and left his nephew to me.
He Xiaobao protested in a childish voice, "It hurts."
Liu Moyang quickly softened his grip and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Moyang, I didn't mean to. Are you hurt anywhere?"
He Xiaobao wasn't very good at talking, but he was clever. He pointed to his little belly and shook his head.
This means that it hurts here, but it's okay now.
Liu Moyang was still worried, so he checked carefully and found that everything was fine before he was relieved.
After taking a bath, He Xiaobao insisted on going back to find his aunt.
Liu Moyang could only hold him and dawdle, intending to see where He Jianxing was.
Seeing candlelight in his tent, he knew his friend had returned, so he carried the baby inside.
I saw my friend sitting there, stroking his beard, looking deep in thought.
Curious, I asked, "What's wrong?"
He Fengmian, who had been deep in thought, paused, looked at his nephew who was falling towards him, hugged him, and said, "It's alright."
Even so, he didn't seem to be doing anything wrong, but Liu Moyang knew that his friend didn't want to talk about it, so he kept his mouth shut like a clam.
"Okay, I've brought Xiaobao over. You should get some rest too."
After a long day, he decided to go and rest.
Only the uncle and nephew remained in the tent.
The chubby little boy looked tiny sitting in his tall uncle's lap.
His eyes were initially darting around, but when he realized that the aunt he was looking for wasn't there, he pouted and said with a wronged expression, "Mother."
Clearly, she didn't want to sleep with her hard, unyielding uncle, but rather with her sweet, soft, and loving aunt.
He Fengmian froze, looking at his nephew who was on the verge of tears. Seeing how clingy he was, he gently pinched his nose: "Is she really that good?"
His tone revealed a slight dissatisfaction.
He Xiaobao replied, "Okay."
She also emphasized, "Mom~~ Good~~~"
He Fengmian looked at the chubby boy who seemed to be saying, "If you don't send me over there soon, I'm going to wail."
He could only say, "Alright, alright, I'll take you there."
Upon hearing that her uncle would take her to her aunt's place, the tears that had been welling up in her eyes instantly disappeared, and she grinned, saying, "Go."
Even General He couldn't help but chuckle at her adorable appearance.
He tapped his forehead: "You little rascal, just wait and see how your uncle will torment you in the future, just like your father tormented me back then."
He was six years younger than his older brother, and he had been beaten up by his brother quite a bit since they were young.
He Xiaobao didn't understand whether it was troublesome or not; he only knew that he was happy to see his aunt.
He wiggled his little bottom in his uncle's arms, and only behaved after being lightly patted.
Upon arriving outside Shulan's tent, before he could even speak, the chubby boy happily called out, "Mother!"
Shulan was drying her hair when she heard Fatty's voice and quickly came out of the tent.
Upon seeing the He family uncle and nephew, he nodded and greeted them, "General."
When the chubby boy saw her, he immediately opened his chubby arms and said, "Mommy, hug me."
He Fengmian watched as the Xie family girl walked towards them. Under the moonlight, her waist-length hair was spread out, making her face appear even smaller, and her almond-shaped eyes were lively.
She told him to hold his nephew, and quickly stepped forward, stuffing the nephew into her arms like a potato.
She couldn't help but frown and remind her, "Miss Xie, the dew is heavy in the mountains."
Both Chu Er and Shi Mo, who were silently eating sunflower seeds, suddenly paused for a strange moment.
They exchanged surprised glances, and at the same time, their eyes gleamed as they looked toward the tent, their ears perked up, eager to hear something they shouldn't.
Unfortunately, after He Fengmian finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.
Second year of junior high and the end of the tenth year: "..."
Tch~~~
Then, seeing that their owner seemed to be looking in their direction, they were so startled that they almost dropped the sunflower seeds and quickly held their breath in fear.
He Fengmian was too lazy to argue with them and prepared to go soak in the hot spring.
Even after she was immersed in the hot spring, she couldn't shake the image of her with her hair down—she closed her eyes, leaned against the stone wall, and felt a sense of malevolence surrounding her.
He knew he had harbored thoughts he shouldn't have.
Yes/No.
Anyone is fine.
But it shouldn't be this Xie family girl.
That shouldn't be!
...
The next day, Shulan noticed that the bearded man was acting differently.
I can't quite put my finger on why it's different.
It was as if I had offended him.
After thinking about it carefully, I don't think I've done anything to upset him since yesterday.
Since she hadn't provoked him, Shulan didn't care anymore.
A man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea; I think I should be careful not to go looking for trouble and walk right into his trap.
Liu Moyang also noticed their unusual behavior. After observing them carefully, he clicked his tongue but didn't say anything more, pretending not to have noticed.
The soldiers, sensing their general's bad mood, were unaware that he and his wife were sleeping separately. They assumed his wife had kicked him out of bed, so they all became extremely cautious, afraid that their general would take his anger out on them.
The only ones who didn't sense this eerie atmosphere were He Xiaobao, who was always grinning foolishly, and Xiao Cui, who was slow to react.
In this atmosphere, after finishing their hunt, they finally prepared to return to camp.
After traveling more than ten miles, Shulan discovered that government soldiers were leading the refugees from before to cultivate the land.
It's still early in the season, time is short, and even wheat, corn, and potatoes can be planted.
