Chapter 25 Brother Mo Yu, I'm done washing
Everyone took the bowls and chopsticks handed to them by Aunt Zhang and gulped down the rice porridge in big mouthfuls.
After drinking a bowl of hot porridge, the warmth spreads from the stomach to the whole body, dispelling the coldness and fatigue of the day.
After the meal, Lin Mu also stood up, stretched his body to loosen up his aching muscles, and then waved his hand and shouted to everyone:
"Brothers, before it gets dark, we have to clean up the place where we live!"
Lin Muyi took the lead and shouted loudly:
"Let's work together to put up the shed before dark!"
After that, everyone started working on the trees they were going to cut down today.
With skillful hands, these trees are transformed into the skeleton of simple sheds, which are then covered with thatch and broad leaves. Although simple, they can provide shelter from wind and rain.
Everyone worked together, you held the wood and I tied the ropes, and soon, several sturdy sheds were erected beside the camp.
"Let's leave it like this today. We'll find some thatch to cover the frame tomorrow." Lin Muyi looked at the shed and nodded with satisfaction.
Everyone filed in, lay down on their "beds" made of hay, and fell asleep to the crackling of the bonfire and the humming of night insects outside.
Lin Xiyan lay in the shed, not feeling sleepy at all. Many thoughts were entangled with each other, making it difficult for her to fall asleep.
"Xier." A gentle call interrupted her thoughts.
Lin Xiyan was startled for a moment, then stood up and tiptoed out of the shed.
The moonlight poured down like water, reflecting Jiang Moyu's tall figure, like a quiet silhouette.
"Brother Mo Yu, it's so late, do you have something to talk to me about?" Lin Xiyan asked softly.
Jiang Moyu turned slightly sideways and whispered:
"I found a hot spring in the mountains today, and you're covered in dirt. How about... go wash up and relax."
As he said this, he looked at her sincerely.
"Okay!" Lin Xiyan's eyes suddenly lit up.
These days, I'm covered in dirt and worried about where to get rid of it.
The bright moonlight poured down, illuminating the road ahead clearly. Jiang Moyu led the way, with Lin Xiyan following closely behind.
The two of them walked briskly up the winding mountain road.
The closer we get to the middle of the mountain, the warmer the air becomes. The warm air gently brushes across our faces, dispelling the coldness all over our bodies.
Pushing aside the dense weeds that were several meters tall, a natural pool suddenly appeared before our eyes.
Hot springs gurgle out and water vapor rises.
Under the caress of the moonlight, hazy light and shadow appear on the water surface. The reflection of the moon looks like broken silver, swaying and looming in the spring water.
"When I visited this spring during the day, I saw that it was extremely clear and perfect for bathing."
Jiang Moyu said as his eyes quickly swept around.
After confirming that it was safe, he turned around, faced the pool, used his hands to push away the weeds in front of him, and walked behind them.
"Xi'er, just relax and bathe here. I'll be here to watch over you and make sure no one else disturbs you."
"With Brother Mo Yu guarding me, I'm naturally not afraid." Lin Xiyan felt warm in her heart and smiled.
After Jiang Moyu stood still, he slowly raised his hand and took off his clothes. The clothes fell to the ground lightly, making a slight "rustling" sound.
She stepped into the pool, and the warm spring water instantly wrapped around her body, and the warmth seeped into her skin.
Lin Xiyan couldn't help but sigh: "Wow! It's so comfortable."
Jiang Moyu stood quietly outside the grass, his posture straight as a pine tree. Listening to the soft sound of water, he couldn't help blushing.
Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of a silhouette——
The woman's black hair was like soft silk, hanging down into the water.
As the water ripples gently, her body is cleverly concealed, but the snow-white skin that is occasionally exposed, reflected by the moonlight and the water, looks like solidified fat, exuding a hazy charm.
His heart trembled suddenly and his breathing stopped quietly. He swallowed hard, quickly collected his thoughts and suppressed all distracting thoughts.
He shook his head and collected his thoughts until Lin Xiyan finished her bath.
"Brother Mo Yu, I'm done washing."
Lin Xiyan's sweet voice drifted through the grass, breaking the silence of the night.
Then, she half poked her body out from the grass, like a delicate flower quietly blooming under the caress of the moonlight.
Jiang Moyu looked up, and for a moment, he was stunned where he stood.
Lin Xiyan, who had just finished soaking in the hot spring, had an intoxicating blush on her cheeks.
The slightly wet hair falls down playfully, and a few strands stick to the fair face, adding a bit of agility and charm.
There was a faint mist all over her body, and under the moonlight, she seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dreamy light and shadow, revealing an unreal yet captivating beauty.
Seeing Jiang Moyu's absent-minded look, Lin Xiyan raised her hand and patted his shoulder:
"What are you looking at? Let's go back."
Jiang Moyu seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and was suddenly brought back to reality by this slap. His ears instantly turned crimson, and he hurriedly responded:
"Okay, let's go back quickly."
As he spoke, he hurriedly turned around and took the first step.
But his hurried steps revealed a hint of confusion and panic that was hard to conceal. He was afraid that the people behind him would see the subtle emotions in his heart...
As soon as the sun rose, Lin Wuyu took Lin Muyi and other men to plow the fields.
"Today, the yamen runners will come to distribute grain and seeds. We should plow the land quickly and plant the seeds when they arrive."
Lin Wuyu's face was filled with joy, he had finally waited for this day.
Everyone was very motivated after hearing this.
The patients in the camp also recovered and went to the forest with Aunt Zhang and others to pick wild vegetables.
Only the four people from the second room were still lying in the shed claiming to be sick and refused to come out.
One woman complained, "Aunt Zhang, they've been eating plain rice all day. I think we shouldn't give them any food today."
"Yeah, I think we should teach them a lesson." Another woman said angrily.
Aunt Zhang responded, "Then I'll do as you say. I've long been fed up with the second wife's behavior!"
Lin Xiyan was standing by the red soil and observing. The red soil in front of her had become much softer. It seemed that she could go to the city to buy some seedlings.
"Whoa!"
A horse neigh was heard.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and came over.
"Here are your rice and seeds."
The bailiffs took off several large cloth bags from the horses' backs.
Aunt Zhang and others hurried over to answer it.
It takes two or three people to lift the heavy cloth bag.
Aunt Zhang thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you very much, sir."
The yamen runner looked at Lin Xiyan who was standing in front of the red soil, and then looked at the turned red soil.
I couldn't help but wonder, these Lin family members are really weird. They don't plow the good land, but plow the waste soil that others don't want.
Without thinking much, he whipped his whip and rode away.
Aunt Zhang opened the cloth bag and found a full bag of rice and a bag of wheat seeds inside.
Lin Xiyan saw the excitement and ran over hurriedly.
I stood on tiptoe and took a look. It seemed that there were quite a few. Nanyan City is quite conscientious.
Aunt Zhang and others happily moved the rice bags back to the shed and started cooking rice porridge.
When the men who were plowing the fields heard the good news, they all rushed back.
They looked at the bag full of wheat seeds, and their joy was beyond words.
