Carrying Xiang Nanzhi back into the tent, she was breathing steadily, wrapped in a thin blanket, and sleeping soundly.
Shen Shixun observed her for a while, and seeing that she was alright, he prepared to go to sleep as well.
Rooney carried Gila back into the house. When they arrived, Mother Chen was still the same as before, working with her head down, as if nothing had happened.
"Mother!"
Rooney called her name once, but when she didn't respond, he didn't call her again.
Shen Shixun held Xiang Nanzhi and slept from morning until about noon. Jira also got up to prepare food. She didn't know if Xiang Nanzhi was alright or not, so she didn't dare to go in and call her.
Rooney was in the kitchen with her preparing food. "Mom seems to be acting strangely again."
Gila sighed, "That's right, I'm getting old. I took him to see Mamba, and he said it was a heart problem."
Inside the tent, on the bed, Xiang Nanzhi was sleeping sprawled out, with her feet on Shen Shixun's body, unaware of her own pose.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a tent canopy above him with a small light bulb hanging from it. He could feel the wind escaping from the gaps in the tent and reached out to Nanzhi.
It's sure to be a nice day today.
She felt as if she had been on the grassland for a very long time; the time seemed incredibly long.
Wrapped in a skirt, Xiang Nanzhi slightly rose and glanced at the sleeping man, Shen Shixun, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes and was very handsome, especially his eyelashes.
It has a characteristic of Gong ethnic minority men, long and thick, which even she, a woman, envied.
She touched his nose, making a light circle, and the next second her finger was gently bitten by the man.
She tried to pull back, but the man gripped her hand tightly.
Xiang Nanzhi blushed and said, "You even licked his hands, you pervert!"
Are you feeling better?
"What?"
What did you eat last night?
Xiang Nanzhi shook his head, "Didn't we have mutton last night?"
Jira slaughtered a lamb, and Shen Shixun ate a lot of the raw meat. He even offered her some, but she didn't dare to eat it. So Shen Shixun told Jira to leave the last bit of meat in a cool place, saying he would cook it for her after she took a bath.
She couldn't remember what happened after that. "Did you grill the lamb for me?"
Grilling my ass! She got food poisoning as soon as she got back, acting all weird, and she even grilled lamb...
"I'm thirsty and want to drink water."
Shen Shixun got up and poured her a glass of water, but Xiang Nanzhi still felt her throat was dry. "I always feel like there's a very bitter taste here."
She couldn't drink her medicine last night, so he had to feed her; the medicine did have a rather strong taste.
"Do you know you were poisoned last night? Don't eat mushrooms indiscriminately in the future."
Ah, she remembered. Shen Shixun and Rooney went to get water, and while she was waiting for him to come back, Jira gave her some mushrooms and asked if she wanted to eat them. She tasted one and found it delicious, so she ate a few more bites.
Then, I lost all memory of it.
Seeing her blank expression, Shen Shixun reminded her, "Do you know that you were unconscious for a whole night?"
To be precise, it's not a coma, but rather a hallucination, an immersion in one's own world, oblivious to the outside world, with little awareness of one's surroundings, which is similar to being in a coma.
"All night?"
"Hmm, you don't remember?"
"I don't remember."
"If you don't remember, then forget about it."
Xiang Nanzhi frowned. "Then what happened to me? Why did I faint?"
"Mushrooms are poisonous. Don't eat anything indiscriminately next time you come."
"Then why did you make me eat raw meat?"
"Raw meat can be eaten raw, and there will be no problem."
The man helped her up, and Xiang Nanzhi still felt a little weak.
Jira brought in tsampa and oil tea. Shen Shixun was worried that she wouldn't be able to digest these coarse grains so early in the morning, so he brought her some rice to cook porridge.
Yes, it's already noon, but Xiang Nanzhi is having breakfast.
After finishing the porridge, Xiang Nanzhi insisted on eating roasted mutton, so Shen Shixun had no choice but to take out the mutton that had been salted the day before and start a fire on the spot to roast it for her.
Xiang Nanzhi was unhappy again, saying that she wanted to take a shower, wash her hair, and eat roasted lamb looking beautiful.
Shen Shixun: ...
"Why are you such a troublesome woman?"
He said that, but then turned around and went to boil water for her.
There was no shampoo or shower gel on the grassland, so they used some soap pods to soak their hair. After washing, Xiang Nanzhi smelled of grass and trees all over. Jila helped her bathe, praising her as she did so, "Sister-in-law, your skin is so white! Have you never been in the sun in your life?"
Xiang Nanzhi was so flattered by her praise that she thought her skin was the result of countless expensive body lotions.
"My sister-in-law is so beautiful, she has such a natural elegance, she's like a fairy!"
There aren't that many naturally beautiful people. Even if you're born with a great foundation, it's all for nothing if you don't take good care of yourself.
Xiang Nanzhi was soaking in a wooden tub, her hair wet, and she was reluctant to get up.
Rooney was smoking outside with Shim Sehun when he heard Jirakua's voice coming from inside the tent. So he told Rooney to get ready and go to the river to roast lamb.
Rooney was speechless. "Why do you want to grill by the river? Aren't you tired?"
"I don't mind."
After taking a shower, Xiang Nanzhi's hair was still damp. Shen Shixun draped a shawl over her shoulders. With the sun shining brightly, her two slender arms were exposed, and she knew she would be sunburned to death. She preferred to be hot.
The clothes that Xiang Nanzhi had changed out of had long been washed and hung outside by Chen's mother, swaying in the wind. She put on her baseball cap, feeling a little hungry.
After taking a shower, Xiang Nanzhi would easily feel hungry, and every time she finished showering, she couldn't help but want to eat something.
Ask Shen Shixun, "When are you going to roast lamb?"
"Would you like to grill here, or go to the riverbank?"
Xiang Nanzhi had never been to the river before, so he quickly said, "Of course we'll go to the river!"
This is just as exciting as when she travels to a place and goes from one attraction to another.
Shen Shixun held Xiang Nanzhi in his arms, letting her sit sideways on the horse's back with her legs together. He carried her as they slowly rode towards the river.
The supplies were all on Rooney's horse, while Gila rode another horse with his mother.
Old Black and Old Iron couldn't go; they had to watch the cattle and sheep, and kept neighing as they watched the horses disappear into the distance.
Although Gila was pregnant, she was still very dashing on horseback. Shen Shixun rode the slowest. Rooney carried a lot of things and didn't dare to let the horse get too tired. Gila, with Shen's mother in tow, rode at the front. Suddenly, she stopped. The horse raised its head slightly, lifted its front hooves, and then put them down again.
Xiang Nanzhi was stunned. Although Jila was dark-skinned and very thin, she was really beautiful.
Although Shen's mother is old now, it is not hard to see that she was particularly beautiful when she was young. Xiang Nanzhi was afraid when he was sitting on the horse, but now he is not afraid anymore and is relaxed and at ease.
"Shen Shixun, I have a question for you."
"Um?"
Xiang Nanzhi raised her hand and touched the man's chin. "With such good genes in your family, your father must have been an outstanding person as well."
Since they hadn't talked about his family, Xiang Nanzhi couldn't help but become curious. "Do you have a picture of him? I want to see if you and he look alike."
