Qin Qingman sat on the horse and looked down at Wei Ling. Although Wei Ling was wearing an ordinary military coat of that era, his temperament was not weaker at all. In addition to his good-looking face, his aura was also what attracted Qin Qingman the most.
"Daughter-in-law."
Wei Ling looked at Qin Qingman gently. In fact, at this moment he really wanted to call Qin Qingman "Madam".
But in the end I held back.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He has to accept the new era.
Before Qin Qingman had the time to take a close look at the surrounding scenery, all her attention was attracted by the hand that Wei Ling stretched out to her. Holding the man's hand, Wei Ling only pulled it lightly, and Qin Qingman fell off the horse.
Qin Qingman was not panicked, nor was she worried that Wei Ling would not be able to catch her.
Sure enough, as soon as she slid off the horse's back, Wei Ling held her in his arms.
On the mountain, there were no extra eyes around, and Qin Qingman no longer suppressed her nature here. She wrapped her arms around Wei Ling's neck and stepped on Wei Ling's feet.
"A Ling."
Qin Qingman looked at Wei Ling with sparkling eyes.
"Wife." Wei Ling felt his heart burning with excitement under Qin Qingman's gaze. He wished he could hold Qin Qingman in his arms and never say goodbye again.
"A Ling." Qin Qingman looked into Wei Ling's eyes, feeling very happy. She couldn't help but look up and kiss Wei Ling's lips hard. The two of them went up the mountain. Because of the weather, they didn't have time to drink water on the way, so Wei Ling's lips were a little dry.
She doesn't mind moisturizing it with her own lips.
Facing Qin Qingman throwing herself at him, Wei Ling couldn't help but deepen the kiss. This was where they had formed a bond, and it was also where their hearts beat. Being here, both of them were a little excited.
After a while, the kiss ended.
"Wife, wait for me for a while, I'll pack up first." Wei Ling bit Qin Qingman's red lips lightly, and seeing her lips getting redder, he let go of Qin Qingman with satisfaction and went to pack up the package on the horse's back.
When he got there, he had to let the horse go.
This horse has been with him for more than a year and has a deep affection for him. It will go out to find grass to eat on its own and will come back on its own as long as he calls it.
"A Ling, don't forget the package I brought."
Qin Qingman instructed Wei Ling and looked around. She thought she could see a wooden house or some obvious buildings, but apart from the sheds in the distance that had existed for many years, she did not see any new houses.
At this time, Wei Ling had already unloaded all the things on the horse's back and put them on his back, and also removed the saddle from the horse. Once the saddle was removed, the horse was completely free. Wei Ling patted the horse's butt, and the horse neighed softly and ran away into the distance.
Because it is a hot spring lake, there is green grass everywhere around the lake.
In just a short while, Qin Qingman not only saw the snow-white, furry rabbits, but also saw several deer grazing in the distance. When the deer saw people from a distance, they just looked around vigilantly.
After not sensing any danger, it continued to eat grass.
"Xiao Hei and the others shouldn't have left. It's so nice here. The ice and snow have melted, and there will be grass. There must be more animals. Animals are enough for Xiao Hei and the others to survive." Qin Qingman thought of Xiao Hei and his family before she had the chance to ask about the love nest.
At first, the two sides had a lot of affection for each other, and Xiao Hei's family were the most spiritual wolves she had ever seen.
"Xiao Hei and the others prefer colder climates." Wei Ling explained to Qin Qingman and then picked up the saddle and walked towards the shed.
Qin Qingman looked at the direction Wei Ling was heading and was confused.
It's impossible that Wei Ling has only renovated the interior of the shed in the past half month and is treating the shed as their temporary residence in the mountains.
Although the nest held many memories of the two of them, Qin Qingman did not want to spend her wedding night here. At the same time, she felt that Wei Ling was definitely not that unreliable, so she did not move, but turned around to look around.
But no matter how she looked, she couldn't find the new cabin.
"Wife, wait for me for a moment. I'll put the saddle in the shed."
At this time, Wei Ling's voice came from not far away, confirming that Qin Qingman's guess was true.
As a result, Qin Qingman became even more curious about the "new house" that Wei Ling had prepared.
A minute later, Wei Ling came out of the shed, feeling a lot more relaxed without the saddle in his hands.
"A Ling."
Qin Qingman looked at Wei Ling and smiled. She was really curious about where the "new house" was.
"Wife, close your eyes. I have a surprise for you." Wei Ling extended his hand to Qin Qingman.
"Okay." Seeing that Wei Ling was in a good mood, Qin Qingman simply cooperated and closed her eyes.
After closing her eyes, Qin Qingman completely relied on Wei Ling.
Wei Ling held Qin Qingman's hand and led them towards the lake. With every step they took, they could both feel the texture of the grass they were stepping on, bringing with it the breath of spring.
"Wife, believe me." Wei Ling had already brought Qin Qingman to the lake. Behind the rocks at the lakeside, there was a small wooden boat, the simplest wooden boat.
Qin Qingman didn't know what Wei Ling was going to do next, but she trusted him very much and nodded, saying, "Ling, I believe you." Believe is not just a word, it is real and complete trust.
Wei Ling put the package on his back onto the boat first, and then picked up Princess Qin Qingman.
"Ah——" Qin Qingman instinctively cried out as her body floated in the air, and her hands directly wrapped around Wei Ling's neck.
"Don't be afraid, wife. I'll hold you."
Wei Ling lowered his head and kissed Qin Qingman on the forehead as a comfort.
"Well, I'm not afraid." Qin Qingman closed her eyes and smiled. She felt her blood boiling. She became more and more interested in the next journey because she could feel a slight shaking.
Although it was very slight, one could feel that the place where Wei Ling was standing at this moment was definitely not the ground.
Thinking of the misty sky over the lake, she not only had some guesses in her mind, but also felt extremely excited.
Wei Ling held Qin Qingman in his arms and did not row the boat, but the boat automatically went to the center of the lake.
This was the secret he discovered when he was building his love nest here. You can't tell the direction of the water flow from the surface of the lake or when you stand in the water. Only a thin wooden boat on the lake can have such a magical effect.
Drifting downstream, the first thing Qin Qingman felt was the change in temperature, which was getting hotter and hotter. Ten minutes later, Wei Ling and his team finally approached the island in the center of the lake.
When they got here, Wei Ling immediately carried Qin Qingman to the shore, and at the same time, he hooked the boat onto the shore with his feet.
If the boat is not lifted, it will circle the lake and return to the starting point.
And this is also how Wei Ling and his men returned.
"Aling, are we there yet?" Qin Qingman felt something different as soon as she stepped foot on the ground. She didn't smell the sulphur of the hot springs, but fresh air and even a faint scent of flowers. At the same time, she couldn't put on her bearskin coat.
Very hot.
"Wife, we are here, but you can't close your eyes."
Wei Ling took off his heavy cotton coat first, then took off Qin Qingman's coat, and finally led Qin Qingman, who was only wearing a sweater, towards the wooden house.
He brought a lot of things yesterday and had already tidied the house in advance. The decorated house is completely different from an empty house.
"A Ling, is this the center of the lake?"
Qin Qingman obeyed and didn't close her eyes, but she guessed where they were at the moment.
Thinking back to the time when she couldn't even see the center of the lake from the lakeside, she became more and more excited about this new home.
Their new home was in a place like this, so even if they left after a few days, they didn't have to worry about wild animals or hunters breaking in.
"Wife, you are so smart." Wei Ling knew that he could not hide Qin Qingman's perception, so he did not deny it. Instead, he directly acknowledged that they were standing in the center of the lake at this moment.
Qin Qingman became even more curious about the center of the lake after it was renovated by Wei Ling.
"Wife, be careful with your feet and lift your feet." Wei Ling, who was holding Qin Qingman's hand, reminded Qin Qingman that it was time to go in.
"good."
Qin Qingman's curiosity about her new home grew stronger and stronger.
As she stepped over the threshold, she could feel the light change even with her eyes closed.
"Wife, you can open your eyes now."
Wei Ling held Qin Qingman's hand and stood in the middle of the hall.
Qin Qingman, who had been extremely excited, took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a sea of red, bright red lanterns, red candles, and red tablecloths. Looking along the direction, she saw that the bedroom on the side was not only covered with bright red bedding, but also a bright red quilt.
Qin Qingman's eyes widened.
She didn't expect her new home to be so beautiful and full of ancient charm.
If you add a few more things, it will be no different from the mistress' room of an ancient wealthy family.
"Wife, do you like it?"
Wei Ling looked at Qin Qingman a little nervously. He didn't know whether Qin Qingman would like this kind of house, because it was completely different from the house in Kaoshantun. Even the bed was not a kang bed.
The temperature on the island was high, so there was no need for a kang bed, so he simply made a wooden bed.
Wei Ling's carpentry skills are average, and the bed is very simple, but the materials are solid, and it is large and heavy.
Fortunately, Qin Qingman asked about the size of the bed when she was sewing the mattress, otherwise she would not be able to buy a mattress and quilt of this size.
"A Ling." Qin Qingman was admiring the room in amazement. When she heard Wei Ling's words, she immediately shifted her gaze to Wei Ling's face, with a look of joy, "A Ling, I really like this kind of house."
Just like a saying that has been passed down through the generations, there is no young man who doesn't love martial arts. As a girl, of course I was born with a dream of wearing ancient costumes.
Qin Qingman felt like she had returned to ancient times at this moment. At the same time, she also felt that the gift she prepared for Wei Ling would definitely make him happy.
"Daughter-in-law."
Wei Ling looked seriously into Qin Qingman's eyes. He could tell from them that his wife really liked him, and he felt relieved.
"A Ling, thank you for your hard work."
Qin Qingman took Wei Ling's hand and examined it.
Before, she thought that the thicker rope on Wei Ling's hand was left over from the firearms training. It seemed to be the result of the effort he put into repairing the wooden house in the past half month. She really thought that Wei Ling had prepared a simple wooden house, but she didn't expect it to be a three-room suite.
This is equivalent to the later three-set pattern.
Wei Ling built such a house in just half a month, and he built it alone during his rest time. One can imagine how much hard work Wei Ling put into building this wooden house.
"Wife, don't worry, I don't abuse myself."
Wei Ling understood Qin Qingman's heartache. Although he enjoyed his wife's heartache, he wanted Qin Qingman to smile for him more.
"Ah Ling, you are the best."
Qin Qingman hugged Wei Ling tightly.
"Wife." Wei Ling felt the softness in his arms and felt that all his efforts were worth it.
"Gululu——"
Just at this moment, the sound of my stomach growling was heard.
The two had not had time to eat today because they were in a hurry. It was actually just past 1:00 p.m., which was the time for lunch in Kaoshantun. However, the two had been rushing in the snow since they went up the mountain today, and their energy consumption was different from usual. It was normal to be hungry at this time.
The unexpected sound interrupted the couple's beautiful thoughts and made them blush slightly.
"Wife, check the house while I cook."
Wei Ling whispered something in his daughter-in-law's ear.
"Is there drinking water here?" Qin Qingman looked sideways from Wei Ling's arms to the outside in surprise. She only opened her eyes after being dragged into the house by Wei Ling. She didn't know how big the island was or whether there was a source of drinking water.
"The island is very small and there is no drinking water, but I brought an iron bucket that can be used to carry water in. I also placed a stone jar outside, filled with clean water." Seeing that Qin Qingman was curious, Wei Ling simply took her hand and went out.
As soon as Qin Qingman walked out of the house, she could see the whole picture of the island.
Very small indeed.
After deducting the floor space occupied by the house, the open space can be said to be only twice as large as the house.
"It's so warm here." Qin Qingman felt that her sweater was no longer wearable. She thought the temperature on the island was at least 25 or 26 degrees. If it was any higher, she would probably sweat.
"There should be a heat source underneath, so the temperature is higher than the surrounding area." Wei Ling explained.
"Um."
Qin Qingman nodded, and then saw the stone jar on the side of the yard. It was really a huge jar.
At first glance, it can be used as a small swimming pool.
"This...is this natural?" Qin Qingman was amazed, otherwise she couldn't imagine how Wei Ling transported such a huge stone jar to the island. After all, there was no crane available.
"Yes, it's natural." Wei Ling nodded and explained, "I saw that the space was quite large and there was no water source on the island, so I cleaned it out and used it as a container for water. We live here, so it's convenient for us to drink and use water."
When Wei Ling said this, he led Qin Qingman over and opened the lid of the stone jar.
The bamboo cover is like a bamboo hat, so there is no need to worry about rainwater seeping into the stone jar even if it rains.
"Ah Ling, you are really capable."
At this moment, Qin Qingman felt like she was opening a blind box, and Wei Ling could surprise her at any time.
"Wife, the space is limited, so I didn't build a kitchen. I just built a fire pit with stones next to the water tank. I can cook and fry vegetables here." Wei Ling led Qin Qingman to the other side of the water tank and pointed to the fire pit that had obviously been dug out on the ground.
"A Ling, I think this is great. After all, we can't stay here for long, so there's no need to build a separate kitchen." Qin Qingman knew that building a kitchen would take a lot of time and energy.
"Wife, the island is very safe. Go and take a look at our new home. I'll make lunch." Wei Ling didn't intend to let Qin Qingman do the hard work.
My wife rode a horse for a long time. Although she didn't have to walk, she was still very tired as she was not used to riding a horse.
Anyway, they brought a lot of steamed buns from home today, and they can be eaten after steaming them in the pot.
The reason he went to the shed before was not only to put the saddle away, but also to store the buns.
The temperature on the island is high, so it is most practical to store the finished buns in a shed, where the temperature is much lower and can be used as a refrigerator.
Seeing that Wei Ling was considerate of her, Qin Qingman did not fail to appreciate it and simply went back to the room to look for the clothes she brought.
Although she hadn't expected the temperature on the island to be so high, she still brought some light pajamas.
The pajamas are all long and made according to her own preferences. They are not revealing at all and are fine to wear when going out in such temperatures.
"A Ling, I'm going to wash up. Call me if you need anything." Qin Qingman found her clothes, told Wei Ling and went to the west room. She took a look and knew that was the bathroom.
As soon as she entered the bathroom, Qin Qingman fell in love with this place.
It can be said that I don't just like it, I love it. There is all kinds of flowing hot spring water, and you can take a bath however you want.
Qin Qingman was worried that the water temperature was too high, so she stretched out her finger to test it.
The temperature is actually the same as the hot spring water outside, which means that it is completely fine to just take off your clothes and soak in the hot spring.
Qin Qingman looked at the bathing pool filled with large and small pebbles, then looked out the window at Wei Ling who was busy preparing lunch. She gave a low shout of joy, quickly took off her clothes and got into the pool.
Qin Qingman smiled with satisfaction as her clean white feet stepped into the clear water.
I haven’t soaked in a hot spring for a long time. I really miss it.
While Qin Qingman was soaking in the hot spring to relieve her fatigue, Wei Ling pulled the bow and arrow into the air. With the sound of the arrow, a lone wild goose passing by fell down. The bow and arrow were left by him in the forest before. Now that he had a wooden house, he moved the bow and arrow here. Unexpectedly, the first meal of the day would be served with meat dishes.
Compared to heat=weapons, Wei Ling actually prefers cold=weapons.
In his previous life, he was very good at archery, otherwise he would not have been able to kill the enemy commander with just one arrow from such a long distance.
Wei Ling did not pluck the geese, but simply gutted them, removed the internal organs, and then wrapped them in some yellow mud and buried them in the fire pit. (Note: In the 1970s, special ethnic minorities in Northeast China were able to possess □□ and hunt, which was a legal survival skill in special environments)
In their previous lives, they were already accustomed to doing this as birds when marching and fighting.
The meat is tender and can be eaten with just a little salt. It does not require any skills.
Wei Ling carefully cleaned the area around the fire pit. There was no shortage of firewood on the island, as there were a lot of unused scraps left over from building the house, which he stacked up and used as firewood.
After cleaning the ground, Wei Ling added a large piece of firewood to the fire pit and went to move things from the boat.
There was rice, oil, and some vegetables, all of which they brought from home.
Wei Ling placed all these on the shelf beside the fire pit, then washed his hands and went in with his cotton coat and Qin Qingman's leather coat.
You definitely shouldn’t leave your clothes outdoors, as it would be a shame if they got damaged.
As soon as Wei Ling entered the room, he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom and immediately guessed that Qin Qingman was taking a hot spring bath.
It's really nice to ride a half-day horse and soak in the hot spring.
"Wife, do you need my help?" Wei Ling wanted to tease her.
Qin Qingman was stunned when she heard Wei Ling's words, and then she laughed. She guessed what Wei Ling was thinking. Since everything was ready, Wei Ling would definitely not do anything rash at this time.
If you dare to tease her, she will certainly accompany you.
"A Ling, my shoulder is a little sore, can you give it a massage for me?" Qin Qingman's voice came out with charm and shyness.
Wei Ling suddenly felt his nose getting hot.
It seems like he is lifting a rock and dropping it on his own feet.
His mouth secreted nervous saliva because of the images that his brain automatically filled in, and his Adam's apple couldn't help but tremble slightly. Wei Ling really didn't dare to face Qin Qingman right now, for he was worried that he would no longer be able to control himself.
"I'll go see if the buns are ready."
Wei Ling finally admitted defeat. Facing Qin Qingman, he knew he had no chance of winning.
"Hahahaha——" Qin Qingman's cheerful laughter rang out in the bathroom.
