Chi Xingyue quietly handed it to Shu Muyun and stood up to say goodbye.
I went back to the room to check the doors and windows, and made sure it was safe before I went to look at the bed that was covered with spider webs and a black quilt.
To be honest, she was quite disgusted. The hygiene here was even worse than that of a dilapidated temple.
But I finally found a place to shelter from the rain, how could I give up?
Ling Jiheng pulled out the wooden basin from under the bed, looked at the thick dust inside, and felt itchy all over.
He told Chi Xingyue that he was going downstairs to get some water, asked her to lock the door, and then left.
Chi Xingyue wiped the dust off the bench and sat down.
His consciousness sank into the space, and he picked out two gray cotton quilts and placed them on the relatively clean wooden bed that he had searched out from the maid's room. He thought that he would change the furnishings in the room when Ling Jiheng came back.
I just waited and waited, but no one showed up after waiting for a long time.
Chi Xingyue was bored, so she fed the little animals water and feed, then picked the strawberries from the greenhouse, stored some in the small building, and put some on the furniture to dry.
After she finished her work and picked dozens of kilograms of peaches, Ling Jiheng came back with a basin of not-too-hot water, put it on the ground, and locked the door.
"You've been waiting for a long time!" Ling Jiheng's voice was much softer than before.
Chi Xingyue nodded: "Why are you back so late?"
Ling Jiheng explained: "I took Ji Yi and Ji Hao to identify the stove, and arranged for guards with Lord Gao. That's all we have now."
Chi Xingyue raised an eyebrow: "There shouldn't be any trouble in this official territory, right?"
"Who knows? It's better to be cautious."
As he was about to undress, Chi Xingyue immediately put out a tub filled with hot water and tossed him a change of clothes. He then instructed, "I'll go in first and be out in two quarters of an hour."
Ling Jiheng hummed, and then the fairy disappeared into thin air. Even after seeing it again and again, he was still shocked.
Not daring to waste time, I quickly took off my clothes, shoes and socks and stepped into the bathtub.
The warm bath water stimulated his skin and caused goose bumps to appear, but Ling Jiheng felt more relaxed than ever before.
This feeling cannot be compared to taking a cold shower in a cave.
Ling Jiheng soaked for a while and then began to rub the mud off his body.
I had washed before, so I wasn't that dirty, but after being soaked in the rain for so long, my body was cold.
Ling Jiheng washed and washed, and his thoughts began to wander.
What is the little fairy doing? Can his body be seen in the fairy world? Should he cover up the key parts?
What is Chi Xingyue doing at this moment? Of course, she is taking a bath!
Being caught in the rain is much more harmful to women than to men.
If she doesn't handle it properly, it will affect her fertility in the future.
Although I don't care about inheritance, this is ancient times.
If she were to be rumored to be a hen that doesn't lay eggs, she would be so sick that she would die.
So, today she was particularly extravagant and filled the bathtub with water. In the courtyard of the village committee, Chi Xingyue was taking a bath while using her consciousness to boil ginger sugar water.
Then I used my consciousness to collect the peaches and crispy dates. It took me half an hour to finish.
I hurried out and changed into clean underwear. I found a nightgown I had worn before and it was ankle-length.
Some people feel frustrated about their height, but have to accept it.
Chi Xingyue came out with two cups of brown sugar water and saw Ling Jiheng staring blankly at the place where she disappeared.
I was a little puzzled, wondering what the man was looking at. I glanced down, but saw nothing.
Chi Xingyue handed one of the cups of brown sugar water to Ling Jiheng: "Drink something to warm you up."
Ling Jiheng nodded, took a sip, and said, "It doesn't smell like the brown sugar at home!"
Chi Xingyue frowned: "Really? Then I'll try charging a little next time."
After saying that, he took a sip and it was really spicy.
However, my stomach is warm and my body is warm too.
Chi Xingyue said, "Let's go to the kitchen and bring some ginger syrup to the family!"
"In the afternoon or evening, they should be resting."
Chi Xingyue had no objection and put Ling Jiheng's bathtub into the space.
There are also clothes hanging on the clothesline in the yard.
He glanced at the wooden bed that was stained with some unknown stain, hesitated for a moment, and then put it away.
However, it is far away from his supplies.
Chi Xingyue put out the exquisite little bed that had been prepared, took off her shoes, rolled up, and got into the quilt.
Ling Jiheng looked at her not-so-white calves with a somewhat dim look in his eyes.
He stood up and checked the door bolt, making sure it was fastened securely before coming over and sitting on the edge of the bed.
He looked at Chi Xingyue dimly, but said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Chi Xingyue looked confused.
Ling Jiheng pursed his lips: "Do you need me to sleep on the floor?"
Chi Xingyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He patted the spot next to him and said, "Sleep here!"
I thought to myself, why be so pretentious? Even if we are a contract couple, we have already worshipped heaven and earth.
What's wrong with sleeping in the same bed? Even if we party every night in the future, that's normal.
Ling Jiheng got permission and got into bed very quickly, but his body was still a little stiff.
After thinking for a while, he talked about Chen Jintao: "You were a little impulsive today."
"I know!" Chi Xingyue turned to face Ling Jiheng, "But she's really annoying. You don't know, that little Baicha is used to confusing right and wrong, and she even pokes at my most sensitive spot!"
As Chi Xingyue spoke, her eyes turned red.
Xiao Baicha said that she was of low status, uneducated, and even ugly, but why did he accuse her of abusing her power?
Although time and space have changed and her identity has changed, the past of so many years cannot be erased. What she fears most is that others will make up stories and put the blame on her.
Ling Jiheng was silent for a moment. Instead of offering comfort, he asked, "If the Chen family man wasn't so greedy and was angered by you, how would you get out of this?"
Chi Xingyue wanted to ask someone for help or just slip away, but no matter which answer he gave, it seemed that it did not meet Ling Jiheng's standards.
So he chose to remain silent, but the look in his eyes clearly showed his dissatisfaction.
Ling Jiheng sighed and didn't continue the topic.
Instead, he reached out and held her in his arms, gently patting her back to comfort her.
Chi Xingyue was just being pretentious for a moment, but soon recovered.
After all, the social background is different, and the system here is very different from that in the previous life.
Power seems to mean everything. As long as one's status is high enough, one can ignore the law.
Maybe one day, she will order slaves around, maybe one day, she will have the power of life and death.
Environment shapes people. She will adjust her mindset according to her identity and background, just hoping that she will not lose her way.
Chi Xingyue fell asleep while thinking. Ling Jiheng raised his hand to touch her long hair, a little curious about her past.
After a long while, he kissed her on the forehead and closed his eyes to rest.
Unfortunately, not long after, people from the two rooms next door started rushing to the toilet one after another.
Not only the Ling family, but also the Han and Wang families had diarrhea.
The post station was filled with odor from the repeated trips.
The most embarrassed among them is the Chen family.
