69 Evil Fire
◎Messy clothes, rapid breathing◎
In the darkness, the boy's breathing became heavier and heavier, and the person next to him kept stirring up the evil fire in his heart. It seemed that he had endured it to the extreme. He hooked his arms around her neck, lowered his head, and both of them were breathing in disorder.
Although it was night, he could still clearly see her bright red lips and rosy cheeks in the moonlight.
He slowly lowered his head.
Their lips were getting closer and closer, and just when they were about to kiss, Ji Shijing suddenly stopped. He closed his eyes and tried hard to control the emotions surging in his heart.
Shu Yao felt extremely uncomfortable, her body was getting hotter and hotter. Her hands had already reached into Ji Shijing's clothes, her fingertips were burning, arousing the desire buried deep in his heart.
Her hand slowly moved down, his Adam's apple rolled, and he finally stopped her from doing anything. He let out a long breath, but the restlessness in his heart did not subside at all, but became more and more intense.
Looking at Shu Yao's disheveled clothes, he looked away with difficulty.
Shu Yao frowned and kept rubbing against his arms.
He sighed softly, hugged her to prevent her from moving, then lit a candle and looked at her condition carefully.
Shu Yao's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were closed, and her breathing was rapid.
Ji Shijing's eyes flashed, she was obviously poisoned by the Chinese medicine. Seeing her anxious look, he helped her put on her clothes, picked her up and walked towards the bathroom, his heart beating fast and hard.
He put cold water in the bathtub, tested the water temperature, and added some hot water before carrying Shu Yao into the bathtub. The water temperature was slightly cool, but not bone-chillingly cold.
Shu Yao was still making a fuss in his arms at first, but gradually, perhaps due to the effect of the cold water, she slowly calmed down and actually fell asleep leaning on him.
Half an hour later, Ji Shijing carried her back to the house. Both of them were wet. He first put Shu Yao on the bed, then went to the closet to find some clothes for her to change into.
He took off his hairband, blindfolded her, and then began to help her change her clothes.
He took off Shu Yao's clothes one by one, and his slender fingers with water droplets slid across her skin inch by inch. Her skin was delicate, like a piece of fine white jade. The texture under his fingertips fascinated him, and he was actually a little greedy for this feeling.
When changing clothes, they inevitably touched some special places. Ji Shijing's earlobes were bright red and he moved his slightly trembling fingers away from Shu Yao's chest.
After an unknown amount of time, the clothes were finally changed. He untied his belt, looked at the beauty on the bed, licked his dry lips unconsciously, and then carefully put her on the bed.
He stood by the bed and looked at Shu Yao for a long time before pushing the door open and going out. He stood alone in the yard in wet clothes, feeling the cold wind, and did not go into the house until the heat in his body was extinguished.
Walking to the wardrobe and taking off his wet clothes, the boy's figure became more upright.
He put on two pieces of clothing at random, then took out the clothes that Shu Yao and himself had taken off to wash.
It was not until the second half of the night that he fell asleep beside Shu Yao.
System: [After testing, the trust value is 45%.]
The next day, the sun rose from the mountains and the sound of villagers talking could be heard from time to time outside. Shu Yao opened her eyes and felt sore all over.
When I looked over, I saw that Ji Shijing had indeed gotten up.
She stretched and felt her hands and feet were weak. She lowered her head and lifted the quilt. She was stunned. After five seconds, she said "Huh" in some confusion. Why did she change her clothes?
What's going on?
She was a little frightened, and quickly put on a coat and went to find Ji Shijing.
She slept very soundly last night and only remembered having a dream. In the dream, she was thrown into a stove. There was an ice sculpture next to the stove. She held the ice sculpture tightly and refused to let go. Later, the ice sculpture melted because of her holding it.
Ji Shijing's face was a little pale, and he coughed from time to time. He was holding a book in his hand, as if he was just about to go out.
Shu Yao looked at him and asked hesitantly, "Ah Jing, what's wrong with my clothes?"
Ji Shijing said in a calm voice, "You were a little bit off last night. I put you in cold water, and then you felt a little better."
"I changed the clothes you are wearing. I am blindfolded, so you don't have to worry."
He spoke frankly, without any change of emotion.
When Shu Yao heard him say this, the doubts in her heart became heavier: "What happened to me last night?"
He blinked and said, "You seem to be taking Chinese medicine."
Shu Yao was petrified on the spot, her mouth wide open in disbelief. How could she not know about this?
Ji Shijing pushed open the door and half of his body was already leaning out, but he still turned around and said to her, "Don't worry, I didn't take advantage of you." After that, he walked towards the private school.
Shu Yao stood where she was. She had just gone to the capital yesterday and met that young master Wang, who made her drink a glass of wine.
right.
She remembered.
She saw with her own eyes that Prince Wang put a packet of powder into the wine. Could it be that kind of medicine? No wonder she felt something was wrong as soon as she reached the village entrance yesterday.
So that's how it is.
Maybe I didn't drink enough, so the medicine didn't take effect until the evening.
Damn Prince Wang, Shu Yao had cursed him a thousand times in her mind, but still felt unsatisfied.
She was so angry.
I probably embarrassed myself in front of Ji Shijing last night. I don’t know if I did anything stupid.
She sat down in annoyance, looking at the clothes she was wearing, and felt even worse.
Ahhhhh.
How would she face him in the future?
As soon as Jiang Fu came in, he saw Shu Yao, who was scowling. "Yao girl, what's wrong with you?"
Shu Yao was so immersed in her own world that she didn't notice anyone coming. When she saw it was Jiang Fu, she quickly brought him a stool and said, "Uncle, please sit down."
Jiang Fu: "Girl, you looked a little off just now, did something happen to you?"
Shu Yao shook her head.
Jiang Fu continued, "Girl, the craftsmen will be coming over soon. I estimate there will be about ten of them. You should prepare the food first."
In Dongping Village, no matter who builds a house, it is necessary to invite the craftsmen to dinner and never neglect it, otherwise there is no guarantee that these craftsmen will not tamper with the house.
Shu Yao naturally knew this truth, and she nodded: "I understand, uncle."
Jiang Fu added, "I'm afraid you're too busy. Your aunt will come and help you at noon."
Shu Yao was a little surprised. Didn't her aunt hate her? Why would she come to help her?
Jiang Fu took a sip of tea and said earnestly: "Girl, your aunt has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She still values you as her niece very much. She had no choice but to let you marry to the capital to bring good luck." Every word he said was sincere.
Shu Yao refilled his tea: "I understand."
Jiang Fu was full of relief.
The two chatted about family matters for a while, and Shu Yao asked Jiang Fu to stay here for breakfast. Just as Shu Yao was washing dishes, dozens of masons entered her yard.
Jiang Fu hurriedly greeted them, and Shu Yao also put down what she was doing and came over, moving a few chairs from the house for them to sit on.
Shu Yao said, "Master craftsman, please take a break first."
Master Li, who had already been there once, asked her, "Last time you said you wanted to rebuild the west wing. Are there other places that need to be rebuilt?"
Shu Yao looked around the shabby little courtyard and pinched the silver in her pocket: "Build the wall higher and replace the gate."
Master Li: "How many people usually live in this courtyard?"
"Two people." She answered truthfully.
Master Li suggested, "I suggest building another small guest room so that if guests come, they will have a place to stay."
Shu Yao thought it made sense. She and Ji Shijing each had a room, so if someone wanted to stay at their house, they would have a place to stay. After all, they would be staying in the village for a while.
She held the silver in her hand, gritted her teeth, and nodded: "Then let's build a small house. It doesn't have to be too big."
Master Li understood: "Then build it next to the west room."
Shu Yao had no objection.
The workers started working, and Shu Yao decided to ask the price first: "How much is the total cost for this repair?"
Master Li: "The west room is bigger, so I estimate it will cost around eight taels of silver. The small room will cost five taels of silver. As for the low wall and the gate, three taels will be enough."
Shu Yao calculated that after deducting these expenses, she still had fifty taels left, which was not bad, as she still had a small asset.
The workers first cleared the bricks on the ground, and Shu Yao also went to help from time to time.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Jiang Fu reminded Shu Yao to prepare lunch. Shu Yao washed her hands and went to the kitchen.
At this time, Qin E came in with two killed ducks in her hands. Her face was still very sour. She put the ducks into the basin. Seeing that Shu Yao hadn't even lit the fire, she shook her head. She felt that she had become so pampered after going to the city that she couldn't even light a fire.
She snatched the tinder from Shu Yao's hand and said, "I'll light the fire, you go wash those two ducks."
In the kitchen, Shu Yao had no role to play except washing the vegetables. Qin E was in charge of all the dishes.
Qin E was quick and efficient, and the meal was ready in less than half an hour.
When the last dish of mustard greens came out of the pot, Qin E said to Shu Yao, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Serve all the dishes out and let the craftsmen eat."
Shu Yao nodded. There were not enough bowls at home, so she went to Yang Xiuhe's house to borrow a few and brought her a small bowl of duck meat.
Yang Xiuhe took the bowl of duck meat and handed it to her with a smile: "I'll lend you these bowls for now. You can return them to me when the craftsmen are finished. I'm not in a hurry to use them anyway."
Shu Yao said "thank you".
After the dishes were served, the craftsmen put down their work when they smelled the fragrance, washed their hands with water, and started to serve the rice in bowls.
When Ji Shijing came back, it happened to be time for dinner.
When he came back and saw so many people in the yard, he was a little surprised.
Shu Yao invited him to come over for dinner: "These are the craftsmen who are repairing the West Room. Once the West Room is repaired, you won't have to share a room with me anymore."
Ji Shijing's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly. He looked down at her, his eyes dark and he seemed unhappy.
Shu Yao felt uneasy: "Ah...Ah Jing, why are you looking at me like that?"
