Ye Moxun sat there without moving, letting her take off his outer shirt and then try to pull down his pants. Only then did he reach out and stop her, saying, "I can do my own pants. Your clothes are wet too. Go into the space and change into something clean."
It was still pouring rain outside, how could she leave him alone? "It's okay, I'm in good health, I can handle it for a while, you should change quickly."
"Go into the space." Ye Moxun frowned.
Song Tantan: "If I wanted to peek, I could see it in the space, so why bother burying my head in the sand?"
Under his deep gaze, Song Tantan was utterly defeated, letting out a dissatisfied 'humph' before slipping into the space.
Now that she was inside the space, she didn't come out so quickly. She took a shower and changed into clean clothes. When she came out, she felt water rushing down the ground, washing her feet into muddy water.
Damn it!
She immediately moved a bunk bed out of her space, then went inside to wash her feet. When she came out, she sat on the bed. This bunk bed was an extra one from her old home, which had been sitting there collecting dust. She stood on the bed board and took out a bamboo mat from her space to place on it, and then took out a soft cushion to lay down on top.
The temperature always drops a bit when it rains. At this time, it no longer feels hot, but rather a little cool. You need to put on a soft mat and cover yourself with a thin blanket to feel comfortable.
Ye Moxun was helped over by her, and then she took a small table and placed it in the middle of the bed, took out a lot of food, and the two of them silently filled their stomachs.
After finishing her meal, Song Tantan took out a basin of hot water to wipe Ye Moxun's body.
Ye Moxun: "Wring out the towel and give it to me, I'll wipe myself."
Song Tantan: "Sit still. If you want to wipe yourself, just sit still. Who asked you to worry about me?"
Unable to resist her, Ye Moxun leaned against the headboard, closed his eyes, and let her do as she pleased. Soon he felt a warm towel being inserted into his back and vigorously rubbed back and forth a few times. This was repeated twice, and then it was the front of his back. The force of the rubbing made him want to groan.
How come he's so good at rubbing? The pressure is just right, like a massage. He felt so comfortable. Then he rubbed his neck, and then his face.
Hmm? This order is wrong. You should wash your face first, then scrub your body.
Song Tantan blinked and had no choice but to pour out the water in the basin and replace it with a basin of clean hot water to wash his face. Song Tantan washed his face with very gentle movements, as if she were wiping some beloved object.
Ye Moxun grasped her hand and held it in his palm, gazing at her tenderly. "Tantan, grow up quickly so you can marry me sooner."
"That will take several years, at least another five years." She will be eighteen years old in five years, while Ye Moxun will be twenty-one, already past the age of twenty.
In modern times, he'd just be a fresh-faced college student, but in ancient times, he'd be considered a bit old. However, men are different from women, so it didn't matter if he was a little late.
Ye Moxun had always thought that getting married at thirty wasn't too late, but recently he felt that thirty was too long, and there were still more than ten years to wait. Twenty would be more appropriate.
“You’re so young, I feel guilty about doing anything to you, it’s such a sin,” Ye Moxun said, looking frustrated.
"Hahahaha, say it again, hahahaha, what a mess! Where did you learn that?" Song Tantan laughed so hard she could hardly breathe, her free hand slapping the bed board hard. She had never realized Ye Moxun could be so funny.
Ye Moxun was speechless. This girl became a crazy person when she laughed, and she was completely unserious. He was just getting sentimental, and the warm and beautiful atmosphere was instantly ruined.
After the commotion was over, Song Tantan took out some ointment and applied it to Ye Moxun's feet. This guy was even more delicate than a girl. If he was rushing, he would easily get blisters on the soles of his feet. The blisters had to be popped first before the ointment was applied.
The ointment was made by Ye Moxun, and it works very well. If you apply it tonight, you'll be able to walk around tomorrow morning.
After some time, the rain outside seemed to have weakened a bit, but it was still pattering down. Listening to the rain, Song Tantan quickly fell asleep, but Ye Moxun next to her was not sleepy. Hearing the even breathing sounds coming from beside him, he turned to face her.
An automatic nightlight was mounted on the bedside table. In its dim light, Ye Moxun stared at her for a long time, eventually falling asleep.
The rain had stopped when he woke up the next day, and a gentle breeze made him feel refreshed. Song Tantan stretched lazily outside the tent, and when he saw that Ye Moxun had also gotten up, he put the tent back into his spatial storage.
The two of them sat on the bed in the open air, eating breakfast. If anyone had passed by and seen this scene, they would have been terrified. However, this place was close to Chiyin Peak, and few people usually came here. Moreover, it had just rained, so it was even less likely that anyone would come.
On the way back to Shangou Village, Song Tantan held Ye Moxun's hand and walked slowly. The latter touched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. He had been holding Tantan's hand all night until dawn. This morning, the girl woke up first and naturally noticed. Now, she deliberately wanted to hold his hand before she would walk.
Although the two often held hands when they were young, they rarely became so intimate as they grew older. Now, they were out in broad daylight. How embarrassing would it be if someone saw them?
In ancient times, people valued their reputation even more than their lives. Ye Moxun transmigrated to ancient times and lived as an ancient person for sixteen years. Some of his ideas were assimilated, after all, it is important to follow local customs.
"Why are you blushing? Are you the kind of person who's easily embarrassed? Nobody saw us, what are you afraid of?" Song Tantan teased him with a grin. Last night, this man held her hand tightly and wouldn't let go. Isn't it too late to be shy now?
When they returned to Aunt Ma's house in the mountain village, Aunt Ma had already gone out. Only Ma Shaohua was at home. He looked unwell and kept covering his mouth and coughing.
Looking at the blown-off roof and the puddles on the ground, you can tell what happened last night. Thatched roofs are the least durable; once it rains heavily or the wind blows, the roof will be blown off, and in severe cases, the mud walls will collapse along with it.
Upon seeing the two return, Ma Shaohua was first stunned, then overjoyed. He struggled to get off the bed, but due to exhaustion, he fell to the ground, his clothes covered in mud.
"Ma Shaohua, don't get agitated. We're fine. We were just delayed on the mountain for a few days, and we're back safe and sound." Song Tantan and Ye Mo went over to help him up.
"Where's your mother?" Song Tantan helped him find a clean set of clothes in the closet. In fact, Ma Shaohua only had one set of clothes to change into.
"Cough cough, my mother went to find someone to repair the roof, but most of the houses in the village have had their roofs blown off, so I guess we won't be able to find anyone for a while." Ma Shaohua smiled when he saw that they were unharmed and had returned safely, but his complexion was so bad that his smile looked terrible.
Ye Moxun gave him a few acupuncture needles, and he finally recovered and stopped coughing incessantly. His cough was caused by his weak constitution. He was already physically weak, and if he caught a cold and coughed without timely treatment, he was prone to coughing up internal injuries and inflammation, making the cough worse and worse.
"You should lie down and rest first. Ah Xun and I will help you fix the roof. We know how to do this, so you don't need to ask anyone else." Song Tantan said with an expression that made it seem like no big deal.
"Oh right, we've gathered a lot of herbs and left them outside. I'll go get them." Song Tantan turned and ran out of the courtyard. After looking around and not finding anyone, she took out a large bundle of herbs that she had prepared beforehand and carried them inside.
