In the mountain forest late at night, the mountain wind blows and the cold becomes stronger.
The small, dilapidated wooden house might have once been a resting place built by a hunter in the mountains.
Bows and arrows and rusty machetes were hung on the wall, there was a simple wooden bed on the left, and a rough low wooden cabinet against the wall.
Several pieces of clothes with mushrooms growing on them and medicines for external injuries can also be found in the cabinet. The medicinal oil that tortured Jiang Henian and made him scream was one of them.
The small, dilapidated house with leaks on all sides could not block the cold wind, and it was as cold inside as winter.
Jiang Henian refused the gray quilt that could not see its original color, and squeezed into He Jinshan's arms with a pouting face.
Temperature is important. At this time, there is no need to pay attention to the rule of no physical contact. Both of them help each other and kiss each other. It is normal to keep each other warm!
Anyway, He Jinshan is now a veteran. The military and civilians are one family. What's wrong with helping the frozen little girl warm up? She can also recharge!
Look, he didn't refuse.
Jiang Henian, who had successfully brainwashed herself, nestled contentedly in He Jinshan's arms, sighing comfortably, completely unaware of the man's eyes as he looked down at her with a smile.
He went a step further and stuffed the cold little hand into his big palm, while glorifying his freeloading behavior.
"Uncle, let me warm your hands too~"
"Thank you so much."
He Jinshan curled his lips and chuckled meaningfully in response, tightening his five fingers to completely cover the popsicle-like thin fingers.
Men have very high body temperatures. Even if they are only wearing a vest on a mountain night when the temperature drops suddenly, their bodies are still hot. They are simply natural hot packs.
It's warmer than the fire in front of me.
A scrap iron pot was made into a fire rack, and the firewood inside was burning red and crackling.
On top of it was a fat rabbit that had been skinned, gutted, and roasted until it was gradually golden brown. Flames were burning on it, and hot oil was dripping down, making a sizzling sound.
The smell of roasted rabbit filled the entire cabin.
Jiang Henian sniffed hard, the fragrance making him dizzy, his eyes fixed on the plump and tempting rabbit legs.
The eighth time he asked, "Is it cooked?"
He Jinshan looked down at her greedy look and said with a smile, "Wait a little longer."
Jiang Henian put his arm against his hungry stomach and swallowed: "Oh, okay..."
"Starving?"
Jiang Henian looked at it eagerly, licked his lips, and said insincerely: "It's okay, I'll wait a little longer, it will be more fragrant if it's a little burnt."
He Jinshan pinched her slightly pouting cheeks, diverted her attention and asked, "What's wrong with your right leg?"
Jiang Henian was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
She pulled her hand away, bent down and lifted up the trouser leg that was padding on He Jinshan's leg.
The redness he had rubbed out had faded, but the warm medicated oil was still working, and the edges of the bruises on his calves from the falls had spread out a little.
However, He Jinshan asked something else.
Jiang Henian's calves were covered with light red marks like spider webs. They looked like they were about to fade, and now they were even lighter than when he first saw them.
Jiang Henian shook his feet proudly and said with a chuckle, "This is the key magic weapon I used to scare that family away."
"A few days ago, I read about a legendary plant in a book. It's said that applying it on the body can regenerate flesh and bones, and remove scars and blemishes. It's magical!"
"This morning, I saw a plant that looked like this in the weeds in the little patch of wasteland behind the cornfield. I pulled one out, ground it into a paste, and applied it to my legs. It itched like crazy!"
As she spoke, she scratched her leg, as if she was still frightened by the itch.
"After washing it off, my legs were covered in these red spots, and they were numb and swollen, but there wasn't any other problem, so I just ignored it."
"Just when they wanted to trick me into marrying that idiot as a nanny, I just pretended my leg was broken and I had a strange disease to scare them to death."
She shook her slender legs and spoke with a rather proud tone.
No wonder the little girl was squatting there fiddling with something stealthily this morning. It turned out that she had drugged herself.
He Jinshan frowned slightly, reached out to pull down her trouser leg, and naturally wrapped her little hand in his palm.
"Don't try this on yourself next time, stupid."
"Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, wasn't that the case?"
Jiang Henian swung his feet nonchalantly, having completely failed to learn his lesson. He turned and looked up at him, "I was thinking maybe you could use it. The book said it sounded so good, but who knew it was a fake."
He Jinshan lowered his eyes to look at her.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Do you think my legs still need those?"
His eyes were jet black and very beautiful, and there seemed to be something hidden in the deep depths of his eyes.
Jiang Henian was stunned.
Suddenly she realized that she hadn't seen He Jinshan's legs recently, and he seemed to be getting better and better when walking in front of outsiders.
The villagers were secretly discussing whether his leg could be healed or whether he would remain disabled.
She knew very well that He Jinshan's leg was no longer seriously injured, but she had always tried to avoid thinking about whether he, like her, had also traveled through time with his body delayed.
Just as she resisted thinking too deeply, the person who would take her handkerchief and bring a wolf to track her dozens of kilometers away, the person who was holding her in his arms, was He Jinshan, who had no memory.
It’s still Mr. He.
She was scared.
"Uncle, I'm hungry."
Ostrich Jiang Henian got what he wished for, a roasted rabbit leg with crispy skin, tender and shiny meat.
She licked her lips, and her stomach immediately grumbled twice in cooperation. She was about to open her mouth wide to take the first bite.
He suddenly stopped, his eyes moved away from the golden rabbit legs, and glanced at the corner of the wooden house.
The plush rabbit squatting on the giant wolf's back was staring at him with wide eyes. It slightly straightened its non-existent waist and clenched its two front paws.
