Hua Shi met his pure black eyes, her thoughts became hazy for a moment, and she whispered:
"fine."
Xie Mingchi's meaning is too obvious, anyone with a discerning eye can see it...
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Xie Mingchi clenched his dry and hot palms, and the low and hoarse voice sounded in his ears again.
Hua Shi shook his head, "Not hungry yet."
As she spoke, she curled her hands on her abdomen and subconsciously touched the black cat hidden in her arms, and the fluffy touch came from her palms.
If you lower your head slightly, you can see the little black cat's dark blue eyes, which are wide open, and it is looking at it curiously with its round head tilted back.
Xiao Hei was very obedient along the way. He climbed on her knees, curled up quietly, snoring softly, and didn't make any noise.
So along the way, no one except Xie Mingchi knew that she was holding a cat in her arms...
The sky gradually darkened and the drizzle stopped at some point.
Half of the sky was covered by thick layers of dark clouds, with only a little light leaking through. Everywhere within sight seemed to be shrouded in vast expanses of darkness.
All around was quiet, and the sound of the oxcart wheels suddenly stopped...
"...Everyone get off the bus, everyone get off! Don't just sit there, rest here tonight and continue your journey tomorrow."
The driver's rough voice suddenly rang out.
Hua Shi was lowering his head, feeling a little drowsy, when he suddenly heard the roar. Before he could react, he looked up and saw the old lady sitting opposite him stand up and jump off the ox cart.
Immediately afterwards, several people sitting on the narrow ox cart also stood up one after another.
A big hand pulled her up forcefully. Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, then reacted. She hugged the cat tightly in her arms and was half-supported by Xie Mingchi as she was pulled out of the car.
The group seemed to be accustomed to this situation. No matter how fast they rode the ox cart for a whole day, it would be impossible to reach the town. Resting along the way like this was the most normal thing, as anyone who had been to the town knew.
Hua Shi was a little slow to react. Xie Mingchi pulled her to a spacious, soft meadow, her eyes still looking around.
"The road to town is quite far. Most ox-cart drivers who go to town will find a place to rest for the night before dark. They will get up at dawn the next day and continue their journey. They can just reach the town before dark the next day."
Xie Mingchi's explanation sounded in his ears.
Hua Shi nodded after hearing this.
No wonder the villagers are reluctant to leave the village and go to the town. After two days and one night of tossing and turning, with no place to sleep and squeezed in a small cart, their backs and waists are sore.
Seeing her rubbing her waist, Xie Mingchi blinked and asked, "Does your waist hurt from sitting?"
"I feel a little sore after sitting for so long."
"Let me give you a massage."
Hua Shi was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Xie Mingchi.
The sky had already darkened, and she couldn't see clearly what expression was on Xie Mingchi's face.
Xie Mingchi's ears turned red. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he thought she agreed. He reached out his hand without saying a word and pressed Hua Shi's waist.
"Hey...wait..."
Before Hua Shi could finish her words, Xie Mingchi grabbed her waist with one hand and began to rub and twist it gently.
Even through several layers of clothing, Hua Shi could still feel the burning touch of that hand...
“…Okay…Okay, it’s not so sore anymore.”
Hua Shi shrank her neck and pulled Xie Mingchi's hand off her waist.
She could feel a heat rushing to her forehead, and her cheeks were a little hot. Even though there was no mirror at the moment, she knew her face must have turned red...
After Hua Shi calmed down from the strange atmosphere, he didn't hear Xie Mingchi speak. He looked up and saw the person standing in front of him, like a piece of wood, standing there motionless for a long time without moving.
"Xie, Mingchi?"
Hua Shi felt a little strange, reached out and pulled Xie Mingchi's arm, and immediately noticed his stiff arm.
Xie Mingchi pretended to be calm and said, "...What's wrong?"
Really...I just touched her waist, why did you have to be so useless and stare at her for so long?
But... my wife's waist is so thin...
Then, with a little light coming out, Huashi could see Xie Mingchi's red ears and the flash of regret in his dark eyes.
I was slightly stunned, and unconsciously found it a little funny...
Hua Shi coughed lightly and changed the subject, saying, "Where are we going to sleep tonight? I see the grass is wet everywhere."
Xie Mingchi blinked, looked around, said, "Wait," and turned and walked towards a place.
The five or six people who got off the ox cart gathered in groups of three or four and sat in various corners. The sound of their conversations could be faintly heard.
There were only a few people gathered in groups of three or four, and none of them had any intention of talking to each other. They all kept company with people they knew, and the others didn't want to pay any attention to them either.
Although they came from the same village, they looked at each other with a very cold look, or rather, they were wary of each other.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Xie Mingchi carrying a flat stone on his shoulder and walking back with heavy steps. The stone hit the grass with a dull sound.
The people scattered around were attracted by the muffled sound and turned their heads to look over.
Hua Shi looked at the heavy stone on the ground and felt a little embarrassed: "Where did you move this stone from?"
Xie Mingchi pointed in a direction and said, "It was moved from the woods over there."
While he was speaking, he bent down again, moved the stone under a tree, leaned against it, and wiped the dirty water marks on the stone with his sleeve.
