But she didn't provoke her.
For an elderly person, a family reunion with their son, daughter-in-law, daughter, and son-in-law is such a happy occasion. Why would she cry?
After they finished eating, Shen Shixun gave Xiang Nanzhi some boiled river water to drink. Xiang Nanzhi asked, "Why does Mother always cry?"
"She looks like she's about to cry at any moment."
No, you're mistaken.
When his mother heard that he had found a Han Chinese girl in the city, she was very excited and told him never to go out and find Han Chinese women, but to come back and find women from the grasslands.
He felt very heavy-hearted at the time, "But my mother is pregnant."
The mother didn't say anything then. Since things had come to this, she couldn't just let him come back directly. What would happen to the pregnant woman? Wouldn't that be repeating the same mistake she made back then?
Shen Shixun's marriage was very sudden for everyone in the family. His mother did not witness it in person, and she had only met Xiang Nanzhi once, so she did not have a deep feeling about it. She just knew that such a thing happened.
But after Gila got married and spent time with Rooney, the old woman, who had been a widow all her life, finally felt that she was truly alone.
Alone and without any hope, she will grow older and older as the days go by.
The meaning of life is to wait for death.
The day passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was night. At night, Xiang Nanzhi and Shen Shixun lay in bed, rolling around on the bed.
She was chased from one end of the bed to the other by Shen Shixun, with nowhere left to retreat. When they were tired of playing, Xiang Nanzhi was thirsty and leaned on him, saying she wanted to drink water.
The man replied, "Wait."
Xiang Nanzhi straightened her skirt and got off the bed. She heard a series of sounds coming from the tent next door, like something colliding. Her face turned red immediately, and she quickly went back to sit down on the bed.
When Shen Shixun went in, he noticed that her face was flushed and assumed that she was feeling unwell again.
She's too delicate; she could easily get sick if we're not careful. "What's wrong?"
"It's okay."
Xiang Nanzhi took a deep breath, and asked tentatively, "Are Gila and Rooney over there?"
"Are you asking a question you already know the answer to?"
Xiang Nan stammered, "I, I just heard..."
Shen Shixun laughed. What's wrong with that? Isn't it normal?
Xiang Nanzhi drank a little water, but the warm water made her face burn even more.
Shen Shixun took her hand and said, "Come out for a walk with me."
Where to?
He led her on a walk around the tribe. It was a time when everyone had eaten and had nothing else to do, so the tents were all busy.
The voices of most of the tribute recipients were the same. Xiang Nanzhi turned around and his face turned as red as a furnace.
"It's the same in the city, just with more entertainment, so people don't focus on this kind of thing as much."
"How can we be as open as you are?"
"That's because your place is big and soundproof."
Isn't that how it is between men and women in private?
Shen Shixun pulled her hand and left the tribe, heading in another direction. Xiang Nanzhi dared not go any further. The man turned back, "Afraid?"
"Afraid."
We've gone too far; we're afraid of wolves, bears, and the unknown.
"Don't be afraid, I have a gun."
Xiang Nanzhi was slightly relieved, and Shen Shixun led her a long way.
It was late at night, with stars and the moon overhead, and the surroundings weren't as dark as she had imagined. The man led her to a tree.
Xiang Nanzhi was a little tired from walking, so he sat down and found large patches of wildflowers on the ground.
Shen Shixun took off his clothes and threw them aside. Before she could even see the many flowers on the ground, the man hugged her and pinched her ankles.
Xiang Nanzhi was so overwhelmed by the kisses that he whispered, "Shh, there's a wolf..."
There were no wolves.
The ground was covered with a soft carpet of grass and wildflowers, and a tree sheltered them from the night. They were on the grass, with the stars and the moon as their witnesses.
Xiang Nanzhi shrank back, but he came again, preventing her from running away.
He really wanted to take her right here.
The trip to Saigon was already exhausting for her; she was physically weak and he took advantage of her on the Gobi Desert; she also accidentally got poisoned by mushrooms; and the baby in her womb was lucky to survive.
Shen Shixun wanted to be a scoundrel, but he didn't end up doing it; he just kept kissing her.
Xiang Nanzhi blushed deeply, and it took him quite a while before he was led back to the tent.
Her clothes were covered in dirt, so Xiang Nanzhi changed them. She even wanted to take a shower.
Shen Shixun brought her some warm water and wiped her down. "It's okay... go to sleep."
He was pitiful, really. He hadn't been with her many times, and he had been holding back, only able to look but not touch.
Xiang Nanzhi hugged his neck, "If you think it's not enough, then..."
"no."
If he were willing to do it, he wouldn't wait for her to say it herself.
He covered her with a blanket and made her lie on the bed, and Shen Shixun lay down as well.
Xiang Nanzhi took the initiative to grab the man's arm to use as a pillow, and slowly closed her eyes.
It was late at night, and Xiang Nanzhi hardly touched her phone. She didn't need to do any crafts or think about what to do tomorrow, so she went to bed early. Shen Shixun lay down next to her, kissing her forehead and then her face.
Unable to satisfy his craving, he kissed her lips, fingers, arms, and shoulders again...
Finally, he lay down, held Xiang Nanzhi tightly in his arms, and then fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, not long after Shen Shixun drove the cattle and sheep to the grassland, Rooney arrived. Shen Shixun went back first and saw Xiang Nanzhi come out of the tent and was drying meat with Jila outside.
The old woman held a small amount of rice in her hand. Because it had been sitting for so long, it wasn't translucent anymore; instead, it was more like a milky white.
Even after driving the bugs away, they reappeared within a few days.
Early in the morning, Xiang Nanzhi's teeth were a little sore because he had eaten too much dried meat.
Chewing these jerky pieces took her a lot of effort.
I drank a little water, and now I can't eat anything at all.
Jira brought over the oil tea. Xiang Nan knew he couldn't eat much, but he had tasted the deliciousness of oil tea these past few days, so even though he was full, he could still have a couple more sips.
Just two sips, no more than that. Xiang Nanzhi handed the oil tea to Shen Shixun and said she wouldn't drink any more.
The man took it, and Gila then took a fried thing that looked like a pancake or something, she couldn't tell.
Jira told her to drink the oil tea, but Xiang Nanzhi shook her head.
Is she trying to kill herself by eating something so greasy first thing in the morning?
"No need for more, I'm full."
"Give it a try."
Shen Shixun took the fried pancake-like thing from her hand and put it into the oil tea.
This move stunned Xiang Nanzhi. The next second, he saw the man put the pancake dipped in oil tea into his mouth and take a big bite.
"Is it tasty?"
The man nodded and dipped his finger in the oil tea again.
It was more like a bubbling than a shovel. When Xiang Nanzhi opened her mouth, he stuffed a big mouthful into it.
Xiang Nanzhi was so full she didn't want to walk anymore, but she thought the taste was actually quite good and wanted to try another bite, "but I can only eat a little bit more..."
It has a big appetite, but only the stomach of a small bird.
After finishing the meal, Xiang Nanzhi drank the remaining oil tea. He just wanted to lie down and didn't want to move at all.
