Qin Qingman and Wei Ling met again half an hour later. Qin Qingman, who had made a fuss, lingered in the lake for a long time before choosing to go ashore.
I've been soaking in the water for so long that I'm sweating all over. If I don't go out of the water, I'll pass out.
Qin Qingman, whose limbs were weak, realized something was wrong, so she quickly put on her clothes and left the hot spring.
As soon as she turned the rock, she saw that the light hanging on the shed had stretched the shadow of Wei Ling in front of the shed door very long, so long that she was stepping on his shadow.
"Qingman, I've boiled some water, come back quickly and wash your hair with clean water." Wei Ling's concern for Qin Qingman was beyond embarrassment, and he wanted to avoid her from a distance after saying this.
He knew that Qin Qingman was thin-skinned and would feel uncomfortable facing him because of what happened before.
"A Ling."
Qin Qingman stopped Wei Ling in time.
"Qingman?" Wei Ling didn't know why Qin Qingman called him, and he was actually a little nervous.
The time Qin Qingman just spent lingering in the lake was actually spent thinking about how the two of them would get along in the future. The two people who were destined to become husband and wife would actually face such a situation sooner or later. After she had prepared herself mentally, she left the lake.
Seeing Wei Ling trying to move away, Qin Qingman's blush did not fade away. Instead, she mustered up her courage and asked, "A Ling, can you help me with my hair?"
The conditions in the shed were limited and there was no basin, so she could only use a pot to wash her hair. However, hair could not be put in the pot, so the only solution was for Wei Ling to help her lift the pot and slowly pour the water heated by the accumulated snow on her head.
In order to clean the residual lake water in the hair.
As for thorough cleaning, you can only go home and wash your hair thoroughly with tea oil seeds.
Wei Ling was delighted with Qin Qingman's request and nodded heavily. But then he remembered that Qin Qingman's eyesight was not as good as his and she might not be able to see his nod in the dark night, so he quickly responded with a "hmm".
Just like that, the two embarrassed people tried their best to ignore the previous embarrassment.
The fire in the shed was very large and the temperature was high, which was very helpful for Qin Qingman to dry her hair after washing it.
After simply rinsing her hair with clean water, Qin Qingman sat by the fire pit, slowly running her fingers through the hair that was tied to her side.
She could feel her hair drying up.
But compared with the hair dryers of later generations, such changes were still too slow, so slow that she could hardly open her eyes.
She is sleepy.
Wei Ling, who was standing by, saw the changes in Qin Qingman. After thinking for a while, he took the initiative to move closer and said, "Qingman, lean on me. I'll comb your hair. It should be quicker."
"Okay." Qin Qingman's eyes lit up.
She remembered what made Wei Ling different from ordinary people, and then obediently leaned her head on Wei Ling's shoulder.
Faced with Qin Qingman's trust, Wei Ling was in a very good mood.
The corners of his mouth also curled up slightly.
The slender fingers were used as a comb to gently comb Qin Qingman's hair. The combing force was just right each time, making Qin Qingman feel very comfortable. She was so comfortable that she gradually closed her eyes.
As Qin Qingman's breathing became steady, Wei Ling's fingers moved through her hair more slowly.
The long hair slowly dried over time as he combed it methodically.
After drying, Qin Qingman's hair was dark with a hint of shine, which was a natural result of adequate nutrition. Wei Ling could even smell a faint scent of camellia oil seeds. It seemed that Qin Qingman had been using camellia oil seeds to wash her hair for a long time, which allowed the fragrance to remain naturally.
The soft hair was so smooth and dry that Wei Ling was reluctant to stop for a long time, but he knew that sleeping while sitting was not as comfortable as sleeping while lying down, and they still had to hurry tomorrow. If Qin Qingman slept while sitting all night, she would not get a stiff neck, but her neck would definitely be stiff when she got up tomorrow.
"Qingman, Qingman."
Wei Ling called softly in Qin Qingman's ear, with a tenderness and care that he himself did not even notice.
Qin Qingman woke up after Wei Ling called her for the fifth time. Looking at Wei Ling's handsome face so close to her, she was confused for a moment.
"Qingman, your hair is dry, go to bed and sleep."
Wei Ling looked at Qin Qingman gently, with his hand resting on the back of Qin Qingman's neck.
"Oh." Qin Qingman obediently followed Wei Ling's strength and lay down on the simple bed. The moment she lay down, she realized where they were at this time and place. Her face slowly turned red, but she did not pretend anymore. Instead, she pulled Wei Ling's arm and whispered, "You should go to bed quickly too."
This is asking Wei Ling to share the bed.
I've already slept for one night, so one more night won't make a difference.
Wei Ling was extremely happy and accepted the invitation to lie down.
A cotton coat was laid on the simple bed. The coat was worn during the day to keep warm, and at night it was laid on firewood to serve as a mattress for two people.
No matter how long the cotton coat is, it can never be taller than Wei Ling.
Lying on the bed, most of Wei Ling's long legs were resting on the firewood that was covered with nothing. In order to make Qin Qingman more comfortable, he tried his best to make room for her, and half of his body was without cotton clothes.
But Wei Ling was already very satisfied with this.
Smelling Qin Qingman's breath beside him, he felt calm yet slightly nervous.
When Qin Qingman went to bed yesterday, she did not notice that the temporary bed was not big enough for two people to lie flat. She only realized the problem when she woke up in the morning and found herself in Wei Ling's arms.
Her body accepted Wei Ling before her mind did.
Knowing that Wei Ling had given most of the bed to her, Qin Qingman could not remain indifferent. With a red face, she grabbed Wei Ling's arm with trembling fingers and placed it under her head. Then she naturally leaned sideways into Wei Ling's arms.
It looked exactly the same as when they woke up in the morning.
The soft fragrance lingered in his mind again, and Wei Ling's scalp suddenly went numb with fright.
He was lying on his side, not knowing where to put his free hand.
Then Qin Qingman helped him.
When both of them were lying on their sides, Wei Ling could only put his hands on Qin Qingman's waist for the safest purpose.
Holding Qin Qingman's waist, Wei Ling felt as if all the pores in his body were opened, and the palms of his hands on Qin Qingman's waist were slightly sweaty.
My face was hot and my breathing was rapid.
Too close, he and Qin Qingman were too close, so close that he could smell the moist air Qin Qingman breathed out, and the natural fragrance on Qin Qingman's body, and the mixture of these scents was extremely tempting to him.
General Wei's usually calm mood was disturbed. His palms were sweating, his breathing was rapid, and even his Adam's apple was trembling slightly.
"A Ling, go to sleep."
Qin Qingman, who was right next to Wei Ling, of course felt the change in Wei Ling. She was blushing and very nervous. After all, they had a quarrel before.
"Um."
Facing Qin Qingman's warning, Wei Ling tried hard to calm himself down. In order to calm the influence of Qin Qingman on himself, he even took the initiative to recall the battle in which he died.
Countless enemies were attacking the city walls, and all the soldiers on the walls were fighting. Beacons were burning everywhere, and smoke rose into the sky. He was surrounded by countless enemies, including several famous generals and ordinary warriors. Each of them pointed the sword in his hand at him.
A tiger in dire straits is bullied by a dog. No matter how brave Wei Ling was, he was exhausted after several battles.
He has no strength left.
All the strength in my body is disappearing.
But he stood tall and straight. He used his body to build a flag of never giving up for his fighters. He persisted with his last bit of strength and his last drop of blood.
Finally, reinforcements arrived.
Behind them came a mighty force of reinforcements, led by the prince himself.
Gathering his last bit of strength, Wei Ling stood on his horse and threw the spear in his hand. The spear went through the crowd recklessly and hit the enemy's commander amid the deafening cheers of the enemy. Then he and the enemy commander fell down at the same time.
Once you fall down, it will be another life when you open your eyes again.
A world that is completely different from the past.
The weapons in this world are guns, all kinds of guns; cannons, all kinds of cannons; there are also airplanes, tanks... countless things he has never seen before.
These things are countless times more advanced than the era in which he lived.
Fortunately, he had the original owner's memory, and fortunately the original owner's body retained its instinctive conditioned reactions, otherwise he would have been exposed on the first day.
In order to avoid being exposed, Wei Ling practiced hard to learn the new weapons of this world behind others' backs.
Only then can it be truly replaced.
Recalling all the things that had happened, Wei Ling's thoughts drifted further and further away, his heart calmed down, and he finally fell into a deep sleep while holding Qin Qingman.
With the experience of getting up the day before, the two of them got up at different times the next day in tacit understanding.
The embarrassment was avoided in time.
After being left in the shade overnight, the bear skin is frozen hard. If you tap it gently, the moisture inside turns into ice powder and falls off. When the moisture is gone, the bear skin naturally returns to its softness and dryness.
Wei Ling rolled the bear skin into a bundle and carried it on his back so that it would not affect his skiing speed.
After the bear skin is processed, of course the bear paws must be dug out and taken away, as they are a rare delicacy.
Qin Qingman knew that black bears were animals that the country did not allow hunting, both in the past and now. She only had good luck now thanks to Xiao Hei's group of wolves, and she absolutely could not let Xiao Hei down.
Wei Ling also dug out the remaining roasted bear meat from last night from the fire pit.
The meat was wrapped in thick pine needles to prevent it from being stained by ash. It was pierced with branches and roasted over the fire. After being heated, the bear meat went into the mouths of Qin Qingman and Wei Ling.
Going down the mountain is strenuous work. You can't ski without some food in your stomach.
Qin Qingman didn't care about eating so much early in the morning. After filling her stomach, she headed down the mountain with Wei Ling.
This time, Wei Ling was carrying a large bear skin on his back, so it was not convenient for him to lead people down the mountain like he led Qin Qingman into the mountain. The two of them skied down the mountain steadily on their own skis. Fortunately, most of the way was downhill.
The effort required for skiing was not that great, and luckily it was not snowing even though the sky was gloomy, otherwise it would have made the descent more difficult.
Even so, Qin Qingman was still so tired that her hands were shaking slightly when she returned to Kaoshantun.
The Qin family was the center of attention of everyone in the village yesterday. Everyone's eyes were vaguely focused on the Qin family. As soon as Qin Qingman and Wei Ling entered the village, someone discovered them. Originally, this person wanted to say hello, but when he saw the bear skin on Wei Ling's back, he was so shocked that he forgot everything.
Yesterday someone brought back the news of a big fight between wolves and bears in the mountains. Qin Qingman and his companions were able to get the bear skin from the wolf's mouth, which was a tremendous skill.
In an instant, the news that Qin Qingman and his wife had obtained the bear skin spread throughout Kaoshantun like a hitchhiker.
The brigade secretary and Qian Xiangyang also received the news that Qin Qingman and the others had returned.
After thinking about it, the two did not rush to Qin's house immediately.
Qin Qingman and Wei Ling had just come down from the mountain. They must be exhausted when they first entered the house. If they came to their house at this time, not only would they be disliked, but they might also disrupt their rest, so they should wait.
Anyway, when Qin Qingman comes back, Chuchu will definitely tell her about the situation at home.
Zheng Anguo and his friends planned to slow down the process and wait until Qin Qingman was mentally prepared before visiting.
Thinking of this, Zheng Anguo directly ordered his son to notify the villagers one by one not to disturb Qin Qingman.
They even sent militiamen from the village to guard Qin Lei's house.
Qin's house, Qin Qingman and Wei Ling hurried, and finally arrived home after more than four hours. When they arrived home, the sky was extremely gloomy, and it felt like it might snow if they were two hours later.
After sending Qin Qingman home, Wei Ling had to rush back to the troops to report the situation on the mountain.
As time was running out, he did not go into the Qin family's house, but said goodbye to Qin Qingman at the gate of the courtyard.
The bear paw was taken off and handed to Qin Qingman, while the bear skin was still on his back.
"Qingman, this bear skin can only be used after it has passed the division headquarters. I will take it back and explain everything, and then ask the master to nitrate it. I will make a set of clothes for you and Chuchu before the New Year. You won't feel cold wherever you go in the winter."
Qin Qingman was deeply moved by Wei Ling's words and declined, "Ah Ling, bear skin is too expensive, we can't take it. Make yourself a set of clothes. This skin is so big, it's definitely enough for you to make a set."
Wei Ling laughed, "Qingman, I'm a soldier, and soldiers can't wear such clothes. Don't refuse. We are a family. If you and Chuchu wear it, it's like me wearing it. I like to see you wearing this bear skin clothes."
Qin Qingman's face turned red because of Wei Ling's words, but after a few days of getting along, she could now look at Wei Ling naturally, "A Ling, why don't you give it as a gift, or give it to your family."
She remembered Wei Ling said his family was in the capital.
Wei Ling shook his head. "Such a thing would be too eye-catching in the capital, but it's no problem to wear it here." Although he had only lived in this era for a year, he had already figured out all the policies of this era.
Qin Qingman was reminded and immediately realized that it was only the early 1970s, which was exactly the ten-year period.
During this period, it is best to stay away from the political center of Beijing and be cautious in your conduct.
"Okay." After understanding the situation, Qin Qingman no longer refused.
To be honest, she was afraid of the cold. If she had clothes made of bear skin, the winter would not be so unbearable.
"Qingman, go back. I'll be back after I finish dealing with the army's affairs." Wei Ling looked at Qin Qingman with eyes full of reluctance.
After two days of spending time together, his feelings for Qin Qingman quickly heated up.
Qin Qingman could of course see the reluctance in Wei Ling's eyes. She suppressed the heat on her face and nodded, saying, "I'll wait for you to come back." The word "come back" meant that both parties understood, and this place would become their home in the future.
"Yeah." Wei Ling reached out to help Qin Qingman tuck the wind-blown hair behind her ears and reminded her, "It's going to snow soon. Go back and don't catch a cold."
They have been rushing for quite some time, so their clothes must be wet with sweat, so they need to deal with it quickly.
Wei Ling couldn't bear to leave Qin Qingman, and Qin Qingman also couldn't bear to leave Wei Ling.
Glancing at the house behind her, Qin Qingman insisted, "I want to watch you go."
Faced with Qin Qingman's insistence, Wei Ling finally turned around and left.
Wei Ling walked very quickly and disappeared in a short while. Qin Qingman turned around and pushed towards the gate until she could no longer see Wei Ling's back. However, it didn't open on the first try. She looked inside and found that the gate was locked.
It seems Chuchu didn't go out today.
Just as Qin Qingman was thinking about whether to knock on the door or climb over the fence to enter the house, the goose in the house sensed Qin Qingman's breath and kept flapping the door with its wings.
This made Chu Chu, who was squatting by the stove practicing calligraphy, quickly realize that it might be Qin Qingman who returned.
Throwing down the carbon bar in his hand, the child opened the door without even bothering to put on his cotton coat, and then saw Qin Qingman standing outside the courtyard gate.
"Sister~"
The child's cheerful voice rang out, followed by Chuchu's little body running towards the gate of the yard.
"Why aren't you wearing any clothes? Go back and put on some clothes before you open the door."
Qin Qingman looked at Chuchu's naked little body and her face turned cold and she became angry.
No one knew better than Chuchu how bad her health was before. Even after several months of recuperation, it still didn't get better. How dare she ruin her body like that?
Qin Qingman's tone was very stern, which frightened Chuchu instantly.
However, the child was very obedient and went back to put on his cotton clothes before coming out again.
Qin Qingman heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Chuchu wrapped up like a ball. She was really afraid that Chuchu would get sick. If she caught a cold in a place like this and didn't have time to see a doctor, it would not just be a headache or fever, it might develop into pneumonia.
"sister."
Chuchu did not bear grudges against Qin Qingman, and her face was full of smiles when she opened the gate to welcome Qin Qingman.
"I'm back." Looking at the lively Chu Chu, Qin Qingman reached out and rubbed the child's head.
"Where's my brother-in-law?" Chu Chu poked his head to look outside the courtyard gate. He remembered that Wei Ling came to pick Qin Qingman up when she left home, so the two of them should be together when they came back.
"A Ling has returned to the army. He has a mission to hand over in the army." Qin Qingman saw that Chu Chu was really close to Wei Ling and didn't tease him. She explained, "A Ling will be back after he finishes his work in the army. We will wait for him at home."
"Okay." After getting the promise, Chu Chu closed and locked the gate with peace of mind.
Qin Qingman watched the child lock the door without saying anything. After walking a few steps inside, she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a lot of footprints in her yard.
Following the footprints, she saw a deep pit next to the well.
"What's going on?"
Qin Qingman asked Chuchu in shock why there was such a deep pit next to her well. If she didn't know, what would happen if she and Chuchu fell into it? There were very few villagers doing outdoor activities in the winter. If no one was called for a long time, they would be frozen to death.
"Sister, it must have been dug by my brother-in-law. He caught three thieves last night."
Chu Chu was confused for a moment when she saw that Qin Qingman didn't know the origin of this trap, but she immediately attributed the credit to Jie Wei Ling.
"Thief, what's going on?" Qin Qingman's eyes turned cold.
It seems that she was too kind before, which made some people in the village think that she was easy to bully.
"Sister, the thief has been caught. The secretary and the director have come. They have taken him to the educated youth site and said they will deal with him after you come back. They also said..." Chu Chu was happy and excited to see her relatives, and she kept talking.
After Qin Qingman came in, washed her face and changed her sweaty underwear, she understood the whole story.
Hearing that the thieves were Qin Jianming's two brothers and Liu Sangun, Qin Qingman's face became even colder.
Just when Qin Qingman was planning to soak her feet in hot water to relieve fatigue, she suddenly heard bursts of crying outside her gate.
In the deserted village, the crying sound is so creepy.
