The man's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant, but Xiang Nanzhi didn't notice. She was too busy admiring the scenery. The closer they got to the riverbank, the more fertile the soil and water became on the side near the grassland, and the flowers, grasses, and shrubs grew especially well.
Shen Shixun didn't remember what his father looked like, only a vague figure.
“I’m nothing like him.”
When did he leave you?
"have no idea."
He must have left when he was very, very young, with a resolute determination, much like a city man who came to the grasslands for excitement, and after the excitement was over, he returned to his place, leaving his mother and siblings heartbroken.
Xiang Nanzhi wanted to ask more, but the man stopped her from continuing, his hands unconsciously resting on her waist. "Zhizhi..."
The place that belonged to him awakened the beast deep within the man's heart, "Zhizhi, you are so beautiful."
Xiang Nan thought she had seen a ghost. These words actually came from Shen Shixun's mouth. His voice was slightly hoarse, and the force with which he pinched her waist was very light, almost like a caress.
In broad daylight, with the sun shining brightly, Xiang Nanzhi probably thought he was a bit perverted, but she wasn't disgusted at all. She simply took his hand away and said, "Shen Shixun, be serious. Don't make me fall off the horse."
His few words melted her heart. Xiang Nanzhi shuddered involuntarily as the man gently bit her neck. "My father is dead."
He said, word by word, "I don't have a father. From now on, never mention him again. I'm not like him..."
"Is it okay?"
Xiang Nanzhi was completely confused by him, and could only respond in response. She couldn't help but shrink back a little, "Okay, I understand."
A clear river, not very large, must be a branch that falls from a higher place, flowing across to a far distance, disappearing into some wilderness.
The banks of the stream were covered with lush green grass, but this grass was different from the grass in the fields. While the grass in the fields was somewhat prickly, this grass was exceptionally soft.
It's soft yet crisp, tender, and tastes like some kind of wild vegetable.
Xiang Nanzhi took off her straw sandals and stepped on them; the soft grass felt like it was tickling the soles of her feet.
As soon as she came down, Gila said, "Big brother, I'm going to find some bushes with my mother."
"good."
Shen Shixun dug up the grass in one spot and threw it to the other side.
As Xiang Nanzhi sat down, he instinctively reached for his feet in the river.
She was slapped by Shen Shixun and quickly pulled her foot back. "What are you doing?"
Her tone was a mix of coquettishness and accusation.
The water is so refreshing that anyone who sees it will want to soak their feet in it.
The next second, Shen Shixun scooped up some water and took a sip.
Xiang Nanzhi was speechless and asked, "Aren't you afraid someone will urinate in there?"
"You Han people all say we're not particular, but you're the ones who are not particular!"
There's only one river around here, and both people and animals live by drinking the water from it.
Xiang Nanzhi pursed her lips, somewhat disbelieving.
You can set high standards for yourself, but how can you set high standards for others?
Shen Shixun added, "Even animals living around here know that there is only one river in the area. No matter how hot it is, they will obediently drink water here and will not jump in to bathe."
I don't believe it.
"If you don't believe me, that's fine too."
Whether she believes it or not doesn't matter, but he definitely wouldn't let her go in to soak her feet.
Xiang Nanzhi sighed. This kind of occasion should be accompanied by barbecue and a foot bath. It's just not perfect.
Shen Shixun got her some water. "You were poisoned last night, drink more water."
"I won't drink it, it's dirty."
"It's not dirty, have a taste."
The water in the city is leftover groundwater that is treated and reused repeatedly. The water she drinks may be from the same batch as the water she uses for bathing.
But it's different here. The river keeps flowing, reaching farther places. The snow-capped mountains in the distance melt and converge into a river that flows through this area.
The water here is definitely cleaner than in the city.
Xiang Nanzhi had some of the arrogant traits of city dwellers and refused to drink the raw water from the river.
Rooney couldn't help but laugh when he saw her stubborn refusal to drink the river water.
A short while later, Xiang Nanzhi saw an animal approaching the river not far away. The small animal was cautiously lying on the riverbank in the water.
Rooney saw it, raised his shotgun, but was stopped by Shim Se-hun.
Xiang Nanzhi had never seen such an animal before. It looked like a cow and a donkey at the same time, but it was very small and had horns.
She had never seen that kind of animal before, "was it a deer or a mule?"
"You're the one who's more like a mule."
Shen Shixun flicked her head. "Do you want to eat?"
Xiang Nanzhi shook her head. "They look so cute, how could I bear to eat them?"
"I won't eat."
She found it adorable just watching the little animals drink water. A little while later, the little animal finished drinking, turned around, and darted away, using all four limbs to disappear into a bush on the opposite bank.
"Shen Shixun, what was that just now?"
"Deer."
"What is a roe deer?" Shen Shixun wasn't quite sure what the scientific name of the roe deer was, even though it was called a roe deer.
Xiang Nanzhi glanced at him. "They're all drinking water here, it's so dirty. Didn't you just indirectly kiss those animals?"
"How could it be dirty?"
Shen Shixun frowned. "The deer eats grass, so it's very clean."
Okay, okay, in his eyes everything on the grassland was clean. Xiang Nanzhi glanced at him and then remained silent.
Shen Shixun, still somewhat fixated on the idea that she had been poisoned by mushrooms the night before, insisted that she drink plenty of water to detoxify.
"Try drinking some."
