I coughed and turned around, but then something even more embarrassing happened. Yunwen actually came over from the pool downstream and stood there again. I was stunned. She was just rushing towards me. Now she came over, isn't she trying to take advantage of me? No, no, although she and I are going to be husband and wife, we haven't gotten married yet, have we? If I saw everything now, it would be no different from being a hooligan.

"Go over there, don't come over here." I said, scratching my neck.

However, she did not move at all. I remembered what Ling Shang said, that I must look into her eyes before speaking. Helplessly, I could only close my eyes and try not to peek. Then I turned around, looked straight ahead and tried not to look down. Then I opened my eyes. But when I opened my eyes, my face suddenly turned red to my neck and I almost couldn't breathe. I didn't judge the distance well just now. As the saying goes, things that are closer appear bigger and things that are farther away appear smaller. I didn't expect that she was still some distance away from me.

So what I saw was clear, and in order to tell her what to do, I had to get close to her and speak to her face to her eyes. This was a test for me!

Helpless, special period, special treatment, I could only walk towards her, and in order to judge the distance well, I couldn't close my eyes for the time being, so I kept swallowing saliva along the way, and my mouth became dry for a while. When I got in front of her, I looked into her eyes, and she was looking at me. I don't know if it was my illusion, but those eyes were full of shyness and affection. I couldn't help but gently stroke her face, just like before.

"Hold me." I said it unconsciously, but it was too late to regret it as soon as I said it.

Yunwen hugged me tightly, her whole body wet. Although her skin was cold, the delicate feeling of a woman still made me feel endless associations. I restrained myself and thought that Yunwen was already like this. She was a patient. How could I treat a patient like this? No!

So I wanted to push her away, but she still held me tightly, and then I realized that I should stop giving orders. I just looked into her eyes and was about to say stop or go continue taking a shower, but I was deeply fascinated by those eyes. Although there was something wrong with my body, those eyes are the windows to the soul and the manifestation of the soul. Her consciousness had returned, so those eyes were still so gentle and affectionate, making me reluctant to move away.

After staying like this for a while, I felt that it was not decent to continue like this, so I quickly asked her to continue taking a shower. Since I turned away, she might think that the task I assigned to her had been completed and I was satisfied, so she would come over and keep a close distance with me. Therefore, I just stood here, staring at her, teaching her to rub her hands, soak in the water, and wash her hair.

After washing for a long time, I asked her to come up. I took off my own Milong robe, asked her to put it on, and helped her tie it up to prevent her from exposing herself.

I picked up her clothes, ready to take them back to wash and dry, and then I carried her all the way back. She still followed me stiffly, inseparable. But when we were going uphill, perhaps her movements were too stiff, and she tripped and slipped. Then she kept repeating the movements of climbing up and sliding down, like a single-celled organism. I asked her to stop and not move, then I carried her horizontally and carried her to the top of the hill. After helping her deal with the new wounds and dirt on her legs, I took her back to the house.

After washing, her body was a little less smelly, but it was still difficult for ordinary people to smell it for a long time. After bringing her into the house, I took her to the second floor and asked her to stop moving. She stayed in the house, but she could only adhere to this command for five or six minutes at most. She probably chose to forget about it and then came back to find me. This was verified on the slope just now.

So, after giving the order, I kept counting silently in my mouth, and hurried downstairs to bring the food upstairs. I was in a hurry to try to prove that when she counted to 384, she would forget my instruction to stop moving. I remembered that the 64 hexagrams of the Book of Changes plus the six lines in each hexagram were exactly 384 lines. The old master in our village once said this number, so I still remember it clearly, and it was really a coincidence.

Tonight, Bai Lu cooked a pot of hot pot and originally planned to have a celebration dinner with me, but unexpectedly something happened, so we can only eat separately for the time being. I guess Bai Lu is very unhappy now.

I looked at the big plate, which contained various dishes cooked in beef bone soup with wild pepper, star anise, fennel, salt and some dry ingredients, including fish slices, giant shrimp meatballs, black fungus, wild vegetable roots, noodles cooked in hot pot, and two big steamed buns. It was filling and delicious, and the soup base could also be drunk as soup, so he gave me a bowl of it.

The only discordant thing is that being with Yunwen does smell a bit, but this is also a kind of happy stinky smell, and it will be just like that once you get used to it.

"Bai Lu's cooking skills are still good, Yunwen, I hope you can recover soon so that you can share these delicious foods with me." I said, but I didn't dare to look into her eyes, otherwise she would think I was ordering her around.

It's been a tiring day. In the evening, when Hu Lingshang comes back from walking the little fox, I arrange the next plan. We can take a rest tonight and don't have to keep watch. We will start again tomorrow. As for sleeping, I will take Yunwen downstairs and let them open the windows to get some fresh air before going to sleep.

So that's how it was. I let Yunwen lie on the small bed in the corner of the first floor, and I lay beside her. I was already exhausted and fell asleep quickly.

After the death of the curser, everyone had been recuperating for a long time, including the neighboring hyena people. They also began to gradually resume production and life after the war. Now that the threat was not so great, Hu Lingshang went out during the day and came back late more often. After all, she hoped that each of the foxes would be like her and achieve enlightenment in the future. Therefore, she took the foxes out to gather energy more often, and the hyena people were used to leaving the door open for them at night.

Yunwen's health was not that bad. Perhaps it was because she had drunk the elixir from the cave in the Five Poisons Mountain. Like me, she had an extraordinary physique. Therefore, her body did not rot quickly because it was in a state of death as Hu Lingshang said. On the contrary, the foul smell on her body was disappearing. After a long time, one could even smell some fragrance.

But when the body was still not functioning, it was dead, just like a computer that was always in a frozen state. Unless she grew a heart, it would be extremely difficult to get the body functioning again. But the smell problem was solved over time, which was a blessing. Everyone could finally stay in the same room and talk, chat and do things.

In order to take care of Yunwen's psychological needs, I usually ask her to stay in the room and not move. Then, while there are more than six minutes left, I let Lingshang and Bailu chat with her, and I listen outside the door. As long as I'm not there, she is that Yunwen, speaking softly and sweetly with a gentle tone, just like before, but if I'm there, she will immediately hold her head down and become stiff.

Bailu also began to make some medicinal soup for Yunwen from time to time to activate her muscles and veins. Lingshang would also use the Yinshi Pot to transform some special spiritual herbs to nourish Yunwen's soul. I would take her out for a walk more often, and ordered her to learn to walk like me, and then walk with a brisk pace. She would learn to walk as a form of rehabilitation. Over time, the stiffness of her body began to improve.

With careful care, the situation may not be impossible to improve. The only thing that cannot be solved is the weird master-servant relationship brought about by the resurrection of the remaining soul, which seems to be deeply rooted, and the situation of the missing heart.

During this period, we had basically no worries about food and drink. Our neighboring hyena people started to dig caves on the upper slope of Diaolou Mountain to resume their lives and continue to tinker with the blacksmith shop. In addition, the black market business started again, mainly with the mermaids. The hyena queen Huahua would occasionally pay us some fish, shrimp, crab meat, lotus root, medicinal herbs and other things as tribute, and we no longer needed to barter for them.

In addition, the potato harvest was good, this time with even larger quantities, a total of 234 potatoes. We also gave a bag of 50 potatoes to our neighbor hyenas, and ate the rest ourselves. Together with the vegetables that were sent to us and the flour that was not finished, we basically did not have to worry about food.

It was already late August. I was looking out the window in my house, and my mind kept replaying what Yunwen had said to Lingshang and the others when they were alone recently.

"Although my condition has improved, I still cannot communicate normally with Zhou Bo. I cannot talk to him face to face. In this way, what kind of husband and wife are we? I am just a crippled body with only half a life. This body cannot give him what he wants. Bailu, why don't you tell him that I will give up me and marry you? Anyway, you two have already had that time, so it's not too abrupt. I still hope he is happy!"

This is what Yunwen said at that time. It keeps replaying in my mind and beating on my heart.
