Ling Jiheng didn't care and raised his hand to help Chi Xingyue straighten her clothes.
To be honest, he doesn't mind his wife exposing her arms and legs, but given the general environment, he doesn't dare to challenge everyone's sensitive and fragile nerves.
However, some people have such bad mouths, he wants to see how long Madam Chen can hold on.
They took the lead in rolling up their sleeves and supporting Chi Xingyue with practical actions: "The weather is too hot now. Only if we take good care of ourselves can we help the women at home."
The men of the Ling family thought so too.
I've been exiled, so why should I care about face? As long as I'm well and my family is well, that's all that matters.
So he followed Ling Jiheng's example and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his fair and tender arms that were not too thick.
The women of the Ling family blushed slightly, and although they were a little shy, they didn't say anything.
The women from other families were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they lowered their heads to look at their feet, looking embarrassed.
In her previous life, Chi Xingyue was used to seeing old farmers working shirtless. To her, such a small scene as rolling up their arms was not exciting at all.
And they were all boiled chicken, nothing interesting at all.
It was Ling Jiheng, with muscles all under his bronze skin, who looked full of strength.
Chi Xingyue was a little envious, so she pinched it. Hmm, it's quite firm.
Hearing a chuckle, he looked up and met Ling Jiheng's interested gaze.
Chi Xingyue smiled awkwardly and put down her little hand.
She tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered in his ear, "I made some medicinal soup to cool you down!"
Ling Jiheng nodded, indicating that he understood. However, now was not the right time to act, so he could only suppress his inner restlessness.
The group continued to move forward, and the man from the Ling family finally experienced the joy of playing badly.
Just by rolling up my sleeves, I could feel the heat coming out of my body.
Even though the sun was scorching my body, my body temperature dropped, my breathing became smoother, and I felt refreshed all over.
Ling Jiyi, the clever guy, rolled up his pants directly.
With several layers of fabric hanging on his body, he looked particularly funny. But at first glance, he looked like he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts from his previous life.
Fortunately, no one wore open-crotch pants in this dynasty, otherwise the picture would be so beautiful. Even after seeing many handsome men and beautiful women in later generations, Chi Xingyue said that he could not bear it.
After the children had cooled down, their complexions looked much better, although they still felt uncomfortable.
Many people followed suit, and thus a magical scene appeared in the exile team - men and children went into battle shirtless, young girls and wives lowered their heads and remained silent, and the old ladies and wives of the house looked straight ahead.
After Gao Hongbin discovered this, he scoffed and didn't take it seriously. However, within ten minutes, one of the guards carrying a sword couldn't bear it anymore and fell off his horse.
The fall knocked out his teeth. The team panicked for a moment, and those who were nearby rushed forward to help.
When they helped the man up, they found that the sword-wielding guard was burning hot all over, and his face was abnormally flushed.
"Sir, Changming has a fever. Can we find a place to rest for a while?"
Gao Hongbin was still very generous to his own people. He nodded and found a shady place for everyone to rest.
After being exposed to the sun for more than four hours, the crowd had no time to be polite and rushed to the big tree to grab a spot.
However, their steps were heavy and they couldn't run at all.
Chi Xingyue didn't dare to stand out too much. Of course, she really didn't have the strength. She just grabbed an elm tree earlier than the Chen family and stretched out her arm to indicate that she occupied this place.
Chen Yinxiu was not convinced and reached out to push Chi Xingyue.
Chi Xingyue was not afraid. He raised his leg and kicked Chen Yinxiu in the stomach, causing her to gasp in pain.
Oh my god, the blister must have burst. This little girl surnamed Chen is so unlucky, it's bound to be bad luck if I run into her.
Thinking of this, Chi Xingyue picked up a dead branch next to the elm tree, held it in his hand, and when Chen Yinxiu rushed up again, he whipped her limbs, making her scream.
"Stop, stop! Old Ling, look at what your Ji Heng married!"
Before Old Master Ling could reply, Old Master Han chimed in: "Well, if your Yinxiu hadn't wanted to take Xingyue's position, would she have taken action?"
This remark, with its double meaning, almost made Old Master Chen's mouth twist with anger. He glanced at the two of them with a stern expression and left without saying a word.
Chen Yinxiu panicked when she saw her grandfather had no support. She took advantage of Chi Xingyue's raised hand and ran away, tumbling and crawling.
It's amazing, after walking for several days, she was still very agile.
Of course, there was also the reason that Chi Xingyue deliberately let it go.
There was no way. She was tired and her vision was black and white. If she continued fighting, she was afraid she would not be able to hold on.
After giving Ling Jiheng a wink, the second young master Ling hurriedly carried his mother on his back and came to Chi Xingyue, raising his hand to support the poor little thing that was about to fall.
"Are you okay?"
Chi Xingyue shook her head, but found that she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
He quickly held onto the tree trunk and retched, and it took him a long time to recover.
Ling Weicheng put Shu Rui on the ground, raised his hand to take Shu Muyun, and asked his son to take care of his daughter-in-law.
Ling Jiheng helped Chi Xingyue to a place away from the crowd and patted her back again and again, patiently and gently.
Seeing that her complexion had improved, he quickly blocked the crowd's curious gazes to give her time to drink the medicine.
Chi Xingyue raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, brought out a bowl of black summer-relief medicine, and without complaining about the bitterness, drank most of it in one gulp.
The remaining half was left to Ling Jiheng.
The man didn't mind her drinking it before, and drank the whole medicine without leaving a drop.
The bitter taste of the medicine diluted the irritability from inside out. Ling Jiheng used the excuse of going out to find water and took away all the dried-up water bags of the Ling family.
He left with Chi Xingyue and found an opportunity for her to report back to the fairyland.
Chi Xingyue went to the toilet in the space, took off his clothes to let out some heat, and then came out with a water bag of watermelon juice.
"Here, thank you for keeping watch for me!" Chi Xingyue returned the favor.
Ling Jiheng said politely: "No need to thank me, it's what I should do!"
His hands did not stop. He took the water bag and took a big gulp of it. Then, his eyes lit up.
Thinking he was hallucinating, Ling Jiheng glanced at Chi Xingyue, and seeing that she didn't react, he took another sip.
He was instantly excited: "It's watermelon juice!"
"Yes!" Chi Xingyue smiled, tears almost coming out.
After hard work, she finally created a watermelon greenhouse. It was not easy.
Although the season for large-scale watermelon sales had passed before she traveled through time, there were still dozens of late-ripening watermelons left in the melon shed, enough for her to eat until next summer.
Ling Jiheng finished drinking the watermelon juice and ate two buns. Then the two of them took a symbolic walk around and finally returned with a few empty water bags.
Everyone in the Ling family was in despair, beating their chests and stamping their feet in regret. Those who had been waiting for water to save their lives looked away in disappointment when they saw Ling Jiheng return empty-handed.
While they were not paying attention, Chi Xingyue replaced the water bag filled with milk with the one in the space filled with summer heat medicine.
Coming up to Shu Muyun, he said in a neither loud nor soft voice, "Mom, drink some horse blood. If you don't, you'll die!"
