Chapter 30 Taking a Bath
There was a well in the backyard. Jiang Chen stood by the well, put on his pants, drew water and rinsed himself directly. He could wash in just a few strokes.
Now that Ye Rou is here, this can’t happen anymore. Jiang Chen carries firewood to boil water.
Turn over the wooden barrel that has not been used for a long time, rinse it clean, and pour boiling hot water mixed with cold water into it.
After everything was done, Jiang Chen carried two wooden barrels into the house and placed them in front of Ye Rou, who was blushing. "I'm going out."
As soon as he left, Ye Rou took off her clothes and untied the cloth strip on her chest. Because she had been sleeping with Jiang Chen, she had been wearing the cloth strip on her chest and was really suffocating.
This strip of cloth was cut from torn pants. The material is stiff and it is not breathable and very hot when wrapped around the body.
After untying the cloth strips, the fair and tender skin was covered with red marks, and it was very itchy. It must be prickly heat caused by holding it in.
She took the new cloth she had bought today, cut a strip along the edge, replaced the original strip, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it back into the clothes she brought from the Ye family.
She put on a white camisole, which she had made secretly herself.
In this era, people are generally hungry and girls are not fully developed. The original body is eighteen years old and has no specific understanding of wearing underwear. She just wears a tight vest under her coat as underwear.
Ye Rou was not used to being in vain, and Zhao Xiulan would never buy her a tight-fitting vest, so she had to secretly make underwear to wear at night under the moonlight without Ye Wen's knowledge.
She squatted beside the wooden barrel in her vest and pants, pouring water on herself. This was the first hot bath she had taken in half a month and it was so comfortable.
She used a chopstick to pull her hair up and washed off the dust and mud on her body. Her skin became even whiter after being soaked in water.
Jiang Chen stood outside the house, holding a cigarette, trying his best to ignore the sound of water in the house.
At this moment, Ye Rou shouted from inside the house, followed by a loud noise of a bucket being hit.
Jiang Chen rushed in with a cigarette in his mouth. Ye Rou's body was covered in white. He looked away, biting the cigarette tightly in his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
"There's a mouse." Ye Rou pointed to the corner where a wooden cabinet was placed. "It crawled into the cabinet."
She was taking a bath when something furry brushed against her ankle. She looked down and saw a big rat lying at her feet.
She was so scared that she tried to kick the mouse, but missed. The mouse was enraged and kept spinning around at her feet.
Ye Rou knocked over the bucket, and the loud noise scared the gray mouse, so it ran away.
Jiang Chen moved the cabinet away and saw a hole dug by a mouse in the corner of the wall. The mouse ran away through the hole, so he blocked the hole with a stone.
Ye Rou was afraid that the mouse would come out again, so she stood on the kang and asked him nervously, "Did you catch it?"
Jiang Chen didn't know where to look. He cursed softly, his voice filled with suppressed anger: "He ran away."
He said two words coldly, lifted the door curtain and walked out.
Jiang Chen crushed his cigarette, ran to the backyard, took off his jacket, and poured cold water over his head. However, the anger in his heart still did not subside. He glanced at the quiet room, cursed, and roughly pulled down his pants with his big hands.
——
Ye Rou finished her shower, put on her clothes, and carried a wooden bucket to pour water in the yard. She didn't see Jiang Chen, and she was a little scared in the darkness. When she heard the sound of water in the backyard, she walked over cautiously and called out softly, "Jiang Chen, is that you?"
Her voice was soft and trembling. Jiang Chen responded in a muffled voice and quickened his hands.
The backyard was too dark, and Ye Rou didn't dare to go over. She stopped and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Chen's voice was a little muffled and hoarse, "Catch the mouse."
Ye Rou immediately believed him when she heard him catching a mouse and warned him, "That mouse is very big. Be careful not to get bitten by it."
After giving her instructions, she ran away quickly, fearing that a mouse would jump out and bite her.
Ye Rou made the bed, crawled into the quilt, and tucked her feet into the quilt.
When she went to the fields, she heard the aunts in the fields say that an old man in the village slept too deeply at night and had his toes gnawed off by rats.
When the old man got up early in the morning, a big gray rat was still lying on his feet and gnawing at him. Three of his toes were bitten off and were bleeding.
Ye Rou shuddered and curled up her legs.
It took a long time before Jiang Chen came back. As soon as he entered the room, Ye Rou twitched her nose.
There was a strange smell on Jiang Chen's body, a bit fishy and very sticky.
Before Ye Rou could figure out what the smell was, Jiang Chen silently lay down in the bed with his back to Ye Rou.
She asked quietly, "Jiang Chen, did you catch the mouse?"
Jiang Chen: "No."
Ye Rou shuddered, "Will it get in?"
Jiang Chen opened his eyes, and everything in front of him was pitch black, but he still felt a pair of snow-white feet stepping on his heart. "No, I blocked it with a stone."
Rats are good at digging holes. What if there is another hole in this house?
She wrapped herself in a quilt and carefully approached Jiang Chen. The increasingly strong fragrance on her body after taking a shower enveloped Jiang Chen. Suddenly, she was held down by someone.
“……!”
Jiang Chen's heavy body pressed tightly against her through the quilt.
Ye Rou reached out to push Jiang Chen, but he grabbed her wrist and pressed it above her head.
In the darkness, Ye Rou couldn't see Jiang Chen's expression clearly. She could only feel the extremely hot gaze from above, and her breathing became more rapid.
It was like a ball of fire burning fiercely, making Ye Rou feel very hot.
Jiang Chen's heavy breathing hit Ye Rou's face heavily, and his exhaled breath was hot.
Ye Rou didn't dare to speak, she just felt that Jiang Chen was extremely dangerous at this moment.
While she was still confused, Jiang Chen turned over and got off the kang, stepped out in his shoes, and pushed the door open with a loud sound, accompanied by inexplicable anger.
Ye Rou did not wrap herself in a bandage tonight, and her chest felt painful from Jiang Chen's pressure, numb and sore. She was embarrassed to touch him, so she had to hide in the quilt and wait for the feeling to pass.
Half an hour later, Jiang Chen came back, bringing with him icy steam.
Jiang Chen didn't get on the kang, but turned around and left, holding the quilt.
Ye Rou called him, "Jiang..."
Jiang Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Rou.
Ye Rou's body stiffened, she stopped talking, and her breathing slowed down a lot.
Under the moonlight, Jiang Chen's eyes were gloomy, even more ferocious than the one he gave that morning when he beat up that gangster.
Ye Rou didn't dare to say anything more. Jiang Chen carried the quilt to the west hall.
