Chapter 9 Chapter 9 No
Liang Xin: “.......?”
"Still standing there? Go get me some cool water!"
Lu Zewei's face hadn't been this red for several months, and it was so hot that it was "hissing". "We just got married, and you want to murder me?"
Liang Xin: "........Who told you to put it in to wash?"
"Then how do I put it in?" Lu Zewei stepped on the floor with both feet and walked around twice to cool down. "How do I put it in such hot water without getting my skin peeled off?"
Liang Xin: “….”
She walked to the bed and sat down, rolled up her trousers, slowly put her feet into the basin, lightly touched the water and immediately lifted them up, repeated it several times, looked up at him, "Got it?"
Lu Zewei saw some sarcasm in her eyes, "If you keep washing like this, you won't be able to finish in half an hour!"
"Not enough." When the hot water touched the soles of her feet, Liang Xin felt very comfortable as her meridians were unblocked. She simply sat down and started soaking her feet. "I plan to soak for forty minutes."
Deliberate.
Lu Zewei was sure that she did it on purpose.
It is a cunning act of violence to deliberately force the enemy to obey her will!
He had to meet the enemy head-on, use their tactics to counterattack, "I don't believe it. I'm here to see if you can stay in the water for so long."
Liang Xin: “….”
It was a bad idea.
"You go to bed first, no need to wait for me."
There was a hint of pride in Lu Zewei's eyes. It was indeed the enemy's cunning tactic.
"I won't sleep. I'll just sit here and watch you soak. If you really soak for that long, I'll pour you some footbath water."
"... whatever you want."
Liang Xin's feet adjusted to the temperature, slowly put half of them in, lifted them up, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the basin, covering the mandarin ducks playing in the water, thinking about how to get this person to sleep.
Lu Zewei's eyes fell on the white and tender feet in the red enamel basin. Each toe was small and round, and gradually turned red from the hot water. The red stayed on the slender ankles. There were two shallow pits on the inside of the ankles, like dimples.
Before I had time to take a closer look, her feet pushed the water surface, water droplets slid through the shallow pits, and her toes became crystal clear.
Lu Zewei's Adam's apple rolled twice and he avoided the sight.
A minute passed.
Lu Zewei turned his head, deliberately not looking at the enamel basin, and kept his eyes on her face. He found that she looked very comfortable, "...... Soaking your feet in such a hot water for such a long time, can you still feel comfortable?"
Liang Xin raised her head slightly to look at him, and suddenly a plan popped up in her mind that could keep her safe tonight. "Foot soaking is different from washing your feet. Foot soaking can nourish qi and blood, dispel cold and dampness, strengthen the spleen and dredge the meridians, and relieve pain."
"Relieve pain by dredging the meridians?"
There was obvious interest in Lu Zewei's eyes. He thought about his headache and asked, "Are you sure it can relieve the pain? Who told you that? Can headache be cured?"
Liang Xin: “….”
Lu Zewei waited for a long time, and when he saw that she couldn't speak for a long time, he suddenly thought that she might have deliberately plotted to harm him by soaking her feet, and he sneered, "Can't speak? You continue to treat the disease, and I will continue to watch."
Liang Xin: "........The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine says that the heel is the root, the lower part is the place where the meridian qi is generated, and the place where the meridian qi is located. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine also says that all diseases start from the feet. When people get old, their feet will age first. To maintain health, you must wash your feet first. Protecting your feet is not afraid of aging. The human feet are rich in meridians, including Sanyinjiao and Yongquanxue, which are important acupoints in the human body. Therefore, soaking your feet can stimulate the peripheral nerves of the feet and achieve the effect of warming the meridians and dispersing cold..."
Seeing the sickly girl with a look of "learned it", Liang Xin was afraid of causing another scene that would make people speechless or require more words, so she changed it to simpler and easier to understand words: "Therefore, soaking your feet more often can improve uterine coldness and relieve back pain during menstruation."
Lu Zewei, who was listening attentively, was startled and turned his head away with an unnatural expression.
Seeing that he understood, Liang Xin didn't even realize that she was relieved.
The bridal chamber was quiet for a long time.
Liang Xin looked up at the person whose ears were turning red, and felt that it should be safe tonight, and she felt slightly relieved.
"You just asked if it can cure headaches. Yes, it can. When you soak your feet, add a Chinese medicine bag containing Gastrodia elata, Uncaria rhynchophylla, decocted Semen Cassiae, Gardenia jasminoides, Scutellaria baicalensis, Gentiana scabra, and Prunella vulgaris to the water. This will help relieve headaches. Soaking your feet more often is not only good for women, but also for men. If you persist for a long time, it can help strengthen the body, eliminate evil, balance yin and yang, soothe the liver and relieve depression, and nourish the kidneys and strengthen the body."
Lu Zewei frowned.
There is nothing wrong with Zhengjue.
Liang Xin continued, "However, the water doesn't need to be too hot. The best temperature for foot bathing is about 38 degrees. You don't need to soak for too long, twenty minutes to half an hour is enough."
Seeing Lu Zewei frowning, Liang Xin thought he didn't believe it. "The Book of Rites records: 'If you have a sore on your head, wash it; if you have an ulcer on your body, bathe it.' The Fifty-two Prescriptions for Diseases unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb a few years ago also clearly recorded a prescription for medicinal fumigation baths. There are also the Tang Dynasty's Sun Simiao's Qianjin Yaofang, the Ming Dynasty's Chen Shigong's Surgery Authentic, and Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica, all of which record methods of treating diseases with medicinal baths..."
Lu Zewei suddenly squatted down and put his hand into the basin to test the water temperature. "It's almost done. Hurry up and get up, let me soak."
Liang Xin: “….”
What an abnormal person.
"Get up." Lu Zewei took the white towel next to him and wiped his hands, then threw it on Liang Xin's legs. "It's been twenty minutes. Didn't you say you can't soak for that long?"
Liang Xin looked at him with interest.
It suddenly occurred to her that if he planned to soak for twenty minutes, she would almost be asleep.
Immediately pick up the white towel and wipe your feet.
After Liang Xin moved aside, Lu Zewei put his feet in the basin and soaked them for two minutes. His brows showed the same satisfaction as Liang Xin's before. Suddenly, he frowned and slowly lowered his head to look at the water in the basin.
“........”
He was clearly using the enemy's tactics to attack the enemy, but how come he was confused by the enemy and fell into the trap again!
And this time he was the one who took the initiative to jump into the trap!
He obviously wanted to let her know who was the commander of this new family position, so he asked her to pour the footbath water and wash his feet.
How come it turned out that he not only handed her the foot cloth, but also washed the foot water she had used!
Lu Zewei's nostrils flared slightly and his chest rose and fell.
Although she just talked about a lot of professional foot-soaking theories, which seemed to make sense.
He was indeed enjoying the bath very much at this moment.
However, he had no intention of giving in and giving up his rights as the sole commander of the family camp.
Lu Zewei's mind once again methodically reflected on the military textbooks stored in it, analyzing the enemy's characteristics, combat motivations and tactical systems, and carefully thinking and planning...
He decided not to sleep in the same bed with her!
Let her sleep tonight...
"What do you want to do?"
Liang Xin was pulling out a bamboo mat from behind the box, rolling it up and spreading it on the floor in front of the French window.
Hearing his question, she looked up and said, "You are not in good health. In order to take good care of you later, I want to sleep well tonight..."
"Serve me? Do you think I'm a capitalist from the exploiting class or a rich landlord? I'm a soldier, a soldier serving the people. I signed up to join the army when I was seventeen. I've slept in icebergs, grasslands, primeval forests, and the worst of all places. Do I need a little female comrade like you to give me your bed? You go to bed and sleep, and I'll sleep on the floor. I don't need you to serve me!"
Liang Xin raised her eyebrows calmly, "Then I'll go to bed."
Liang Xin spread the red silk quilt with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes on the inside, and suddenly thought that it was safe tonight. Then she thought that he was still a sickly person, and what if he fell asleep on the ground and froze...
He got out of bed and walked to the leather box, picked up a rich peony quilt and placed it outside the double bed, then rolled up the mat on the ground and stuffed it back.
"You don't have to sleep on the floor anymore. Each of you has a quilt. There's enough room on the bed."
Once on the battlefield, he attacked and defended in a roundabout way. He learned from the strategies of hundreds of schools of thought and was able to break through the enemy's tactics, and he was always sure of victory.
Although he was defeated at one time or another, he never suffered consecutive defeats.
Lu Zewei tasted this feeling for the first time tonight and was feeling indescribable emotions in his heart. He did not feel as aggrieved as he had imagined, but instead felt a little bit happy and a little bit of inexplicable dissatisfaction. Suddenly, he heard Liang Xin giving orders. He subconsciously followed the order, picked up the foot towel that Liang Xin had just used, and dried his feet.
Wait until the foot washing water is sent to the bathroom and poured out.
Lie down in bed.
Turn off the lights.
Lu Chongfeng was still thinking about it.
Liang Xin waited for a moment cautiously and found that he was sleeping steadily, breathing evenly, and seemed to have no other thoughts.
Once I was sure I was truly safe, my tense body completely relaxed.
I had been feeling sleepy for a long time and just when I was about to fall asleep, the person in the quilt next to me suddenly sat up.
Liang Xin's sleepiness was immediately frightened away. Her heart was in her throat and she clutched the quilt tightly in front of her chest with both hands.
"no."
"........What's wrong?"
"You said I couldn't!"
"............"
Outside the window, the frost is thick and the moon is thin, and the night is getting deeper and quieter.
He kept breathing rapidly in the bridal chamber.
Liang Xin endured the cold and slowly turned over and sat up. Just as she found his faint and hazy outline in the darkness, a black shadow suddenly approached, grabbed her hand accurately, and pressed it on his hard chest the next second.
Then he grabbed his hand and slapped his hard chest a few times.
Her hands were numb from taking so many photos.
"How do I look like I'm not in good health?"
"......pain."
"This little pain is nothing, your hands don't have any strength at all!"
“…My hand hurts.”
The iron-like hand around my wrist suddenly loosened its grip.
Liang Xin withdrew her hand and shook her wrist gently, looking at the place she had just taken the photo. Her strong pectoral muscles, deltoids and biceps were faintly visible in the moonlight.
Strong but not overly vigorous.
I was suddenly surprised.
The sickly guy has been ill for several months, but how come his body and muscles haven't become loose at all?
"How's your hand?"
"Hit the steel plate, what do you think?"
Liang Xin's hand was grabbed again and wrapped by those iron-like hands.
"pain."
"......I am massaging you, and it will stop hurting after that."
"I mean the calluses on your hands. They're so calloused that they're almost broken."
The hands that were stroking her hands stiffly and awkwardly stopped.
But he didn't let go.
After a while, a stream of hot air suddenly blew towards her palms a few times.
He didn't seem to know how to coax people into apologizing. He rubbed his hands like he was wiping a weapon and blew air quickly and urgently.
After blowing, give her hand back.
Liang Xin curled her fingers slightly and lay down in the quilt, "I'm sleepy."
Lu Zewei felt something was wrong again.
He was obviously questioning.
How come he was the one who did something wrong again!
But that doesn't matter.
He also decided to put aside the battle for the family position.
This is not an attempt to raise the white flag, just a temporary truce.
Wait until you understand more of the enemy's tactical characteristics and operational guiding principles, and then look for an opportunity to counterattack.
What is important now is how to get rid of the label of "he is not good enough".
On the wedding night, not only did she say that he was in poor health, she also used foot soaking to hint that he needed to strengthen his kidneys.
The man has lost all his face!
It is necessary to immediately adjust the deployment, formulate a combat plan, and take remedial measures!
At six o'clock, the wakeup call pierced the sky and echoed throughout the military compound.
Every morning, when the soldiers gathered and ran to the playground on time, they saw from afar a nimble and tall comrade who had already run around the playground several times.
It was chilly, and he was only wearing a vest and shorts. His lush black hair fluttered as he ran, and his muscular body, a perfect combination of strength and beauty, sparkled in the sunlight that penetrated the mist.
It made a group of soldiers, especially the cadres in the office who held pens, drool with envy and stand still, unable to take their eyes off it.
“Isn’t this a charge?”
"Really? Chongfeng! Lu Chongfeng! Why did you come out?"
Lu Zewei stopped in front of several soldiers of similar age and asked, "How is it?"
Several soldiers were stunned.
"Look at me." Lu Chongfeng stretched out his hand and pushed his hair back. A bead of sweat slid across his bony features. "Is it okay?"
Several soldiers were even more stunned.
Lu Chongfeng frowned, "No?"
"Alright!" A soldier suddenly smiled, "Chongfeng, are you okay? Are you healthy? You look great!"
"What a physique! Chong Feng, I saw you look taller than most people in your military uniform before, but I didn't expect you to have such a body under the uniform! Are you sick but still not training?"
"How much training does it take to get this far? Chongfeng, have you ever really been sick? You're not lying, are you?"
"Shocking, powerful, masculine, this is what a real man should be like!"
"I haven't done a lot of endurance training such as cross-country running with weights recently. I can only follow the weekly training schedule in the room. My muscles have become quite loose." Lu Zewei looked at the figures of several cadres. "However, compared with the cadres in your military compound, it's enough."
Several officials: “?”
"Are you human?"
"We boost your morale, and you turn around and hurt us!"
Lu Zewei left the angry cadres behind and ran quickly towards home.
Even faster than when I ran on the playground just now.
The pace is full of impatience.
It was dark when he woke up. Liang Xin had buried her head in the quilt, and he could only hear her shallow breathing, which indicated that she was sleeping soundly.
The wake-up call has been ringing for quite some time, so everyone must have woken up.
When he went back at this time, she was coming down from upstairs when he entered the door, and they bumped into each other...
