After descending the mountain, we realized that the flood had indeed thrown the team into chaos. Not only had some people's houses collapsed, but the roads were also littered with clothes, furniture, pots and pans, and even piles of chicken droppings had been washed out and stacked together. There were also drowned chickens lying stiffly on the ground, their eyes wide open in death.
"Sigh, everyone has lost so much stuff. I don't know if we can apply for some subsidies, otherwise we'll all have a hard time."
Xu Zi shook his head and reluctantly went home.
When it came to subsidies, Yu Jiu suddenly remembered and asked in confusion.
"Why hasn't anyone from above come to rescue us after such a huge flood? What if something really happens..."
“Our area is low-lying, and there’s a big river flowing through it. This side is downstream, and it flows through almost all the production teams in this area. If it’s going to flood, it will all be flooded. But we’re near the mountains, so the terrain is a bit higher, and the floodwaters recede faster. The water level at the commune’s side is still pretty much higher.”
The commune didn't have many capable workers to begin with. If something happened, they'd be too busy saving themselves to help the production teams below. Besides, with so many teams, deciding who to help and who not to help was a problem; expecting someone to come and rescue them was simply a pipe dream.
Xu Zijiang was quite familiar with these things. He shook his head, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, neither quite sarcastic nor helpless.
"We just need some subsidies when the time comes; we don't need anything else."
After Xu Zi finished speaking, he changed the subject and took Yu Jiu back to his house. His house was also a mess, and even the bed was washed to the door. If the bed hadn't been so big that it was blocking the doorway, it probably would have been washed onto the road.
However, he was quite farsighted; he secured many things and placed them in high places. Although the water level was too high and many things were soaked, his house had high beams, so the things on top were not soaked. Compared to other houses, his situation was much better.
The two first tidied up the bedroom, moved the bed, and then went to collect other things. Seeing that the classically styled house was covered with dirty water stains, Yu Jiu was quite reluctant, but there was nothing she could do. No matter how much she cleaned, the stains would remain and would be difficult to remove.
So she didn't care about anything else, tidied up quickly, and then went to boil water to prepare for a bath. She hadn't bathed for several days and had been caught in the rain, getting wet and then drying repeatedly. She felt filthy. Xu Zijiang also needed to take a bath, disinfect his wounds, and then rest.
She didn't have time to tidy up the educated youth settlement, so she'll probably sleep here tonight. Anyway, they're already so close, and everyone has seen it. She's also agreed to be Xu Zijiang's wife, so let's just leave it at that. Besides, Xu Zijiang is still injured, and she's staying to take care of him. Everyone will understand.
I understand, but someone has really walked into a trap.
Around 10 p.m., the two finally got ready. Yu Jiuxiu yawned and stood at Xu Zijiang's door, giving him some instructions.
"I'm going to sleep now, you should sleep too. Call me if you need anything."
She sleeps in the next room, which has another room.
Xu Zijiang watched as Yu Jiu yawned lazily, a few tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She had just finished showering, and her fair and delicate face was flushed from the steam. She was still wearing Xu Zijiang's clothes, the wide neckline unable to conceal her exquisite and beautiful collarbone, revealing a hint of her fair skin, creating a striking contrast with the gray clothes, making her appear even more charming and alluring.
Yu Jiu did bring clothes up the mountain, but the rain was heavy. Except for the clothes she wore close to her skin that were tucked inside to avoid getting wet, the rest of her clothes were soaked. She had nowhere to dry them for the past few days, and they all felt smelly. Xu Zijiang had clean clothes, so she naturally didn't want to make herself suffer. After hesitating for a while, she decided to wear his shirt, but she would wear her own pants.
But when Xu Zijiang saw his usual shirt on the person he had been longing for day and night, he couldn't hold back his emotions any longer. He swallowed hard and waved to Yu Jiu in a hoarse voice.
"come over."
"What? I want to sleep."
Having not slept in a bed for several days, Yu Jiu especially missed the feeling of being in bed. She covered her lips with her hand, gave another delicate yawn, and slowly walked over, her voice soft and sweet, like a fairy gradually approaching you.
"A little closer."
Xu Zijiang's voice seemed to carry a seductive quality. The Big Bad Wolf beckoned to Little Red Riding Hood, who unknowingly approached and stood right next to the bed, within Xu Zijiang's reach.
"Honey, I've missed you so much these past few days."
Xu Zijiang pulled the person over, and in a dizzying moment, Yu Jiu went from standing to being pinned down by Xu Zijiang's hot body.
"I'm not your wife yet, you can't call me that. Let me get up first."
Yu Jiu blushed and pushed him away, her misty almond eyes filled with endless affection, and she did not refute Xu Zijiang's words "I miss you".
"Don't you miss me at all? I went to rescue that Li Nannan, and you have no idea how annoying she was. I could have gotten back to the mountain to see you much faster, but she wouldn't cooperate at all. All she did was yell and scream, which delayed my trip to see you and even caused me to get injured."
"I'm in such a miserable state, don't you have any sympathy or pity for me?"
Xu Zi rubbed against Yu Jiu's neck with a pitiful expression, and his hand pinched Yu Jiu's waist twice, seemingly trying to take things further.
Yu Jiu immediately sensed something was off about the sentence structure; he was definitely trying to make some request of her, wanting her to agree to it! Yu Jiu's mind, which had been clouded by his coquettishness, instantly cleared, and she coldly replied.
"No sympathy, no pity, stop rubbing against me like a dog, let me get up."
"No, my wife, I miss you so much. After all, I escaped death, so it's not too much for me to ask for a reward, is it? I haven't seen you or been close to you for so many days. I miss you terribly."
As Xu Zijiang spoke, he turned his head and kissed Yu Jiu's luscious red lips. Her lips were soft, much warmer than his cold words. Xu Zijiang didn't think he was going too far at all; taking an inch and then a mile was a man's motto. He held the back of Yu Jiu's head and shamelessly extended his tongue to conquer her territory.
Yu Jiu was so breathless from the kisses that she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, trying to let air in. This only made it easier for someone to stir things up inside her mouth.
"Xu Zijiang".
Yu Jiu was so captivated by the kiss that she couldn't help but hug Xu Zijiang back, her tongue flicking slightly in response.
She had said that she would do anything as long as Xu Zijiang could come back. Now it was just a kiss, was that okay? Anyway, they were getting married soon, she thought hazily, and tilted her head back slightly in response.
Little did he know that the person who received her response became even more excited. He tensed up, holding Yu Jiu tightly, his excitement making him even more aroused as he rubbed against her body. He thrust his hips a few times, and Xu Zijiang's thin lips gradually moved down, landing on a large expanse of fair and tender skin.
Before long, that familiar hardness pricked her again.
"Xu Zijiang..."
Yu Jiu herself was also feeling extremely uncomfortable. An unfamiliar surge of emotion welled up in her body. Her eyes were half-open, her face flushed, and her clothes slipped down to reveal a large expanse of fair skin covered with small red plum-like spots. She grabbed Xu Zijiang's hair with a mixture of resistance and unbearable longing, her voice slightly tinged with sobs.
"It's time to stop."
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Jiu. If you don't like this, can you help me first? I won't bully you. You can bully me all you want."
Xu Zi stopped, panting heavily, his voice strained, his deep eyes fixed on her with a fascination. His hand, still covered in the lingering wine, slowly moved downwards until it grasped something burning hot…
