Lin Momo's heart pounded wildly, and she panicked.
Is this guy going to go back on his word?
A few days ago, Shi Guang celebrated her nineteenth birthday, and the two of them celebrated it together.
Shiguang was nineteen, and she was fifteen. In this era, this age was already considered old enough to consummate a marriage.
Time has its own memories of brilliance, and it is also well aware of the rules of this era.
Seeing that he was acting normally and had no intention of breaking their agreement, Lin Momo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because if Shi Guang wanted to adapt to local customs, she would face a dilemma.
I would refuse. At my age, I do have that urge. It's really agonizing to sleep with my wife all day but not be able to eat meat.
If we don't refuse, she's only fifteen. If she gets pregnant, the risks of giving birth at that age are still very high.
However, this problem seems to be facing them again tonight.
Under the dim light, time deepened the kiss, rapid breaths rose and fell, and the temperature inside the bed curtains rose rapidly...
Just as Lin Momo was about to give up and surrender, Time ended the kiss, pulling her forcefully into his arms, breathing heavily, trying his best to calm the restlessness and desire in his heart.
Lin Momo, who had escaped a calamity, felt more heartache than relief.

Because Shi Guang had a slight strain on his lumbar muscles, Lin Momo canceled the trip to dig for wild vegetables the next day, thinking that he should rest for two days first.
She decided to take advantage of the next couple of days to prepare some cooked food.
It seems there's only half a tank of hot water left in the room; it needs to be refilled.
Once you get busy, two days pass in the blink of an eye.
Lin Momo made many kinds of food that were easy to hold and eat.
Examples include bread, white flour steamed buns, brown sugar and jujube paste steamed buns, twisted rolls, vegetable rolls, flaky pastries, braised pork buns, tofu, mushroom and vegetable buns, Sichuan pepper leaf flatbread, and roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).
They also baked bread, sweet potatoes, tender corn, pork chops, lamb chops, and roast chicken in the oven.
They significantly replenished their inventory.
After recovering from my injury, I'll be lively and energetic again.
These past two days, I've been helping Lin Momo, who's been working like a busy bee, by tending the fire in the stove and carrying firewood and water.
On this day, the couple put the wolf cub into their spatial storage and took their dog, Benben, out the door.
But as soon as they came out of the valley, they encountered the wolf cub's parents.
Lin Momo wasn't surprised at all to see them at her doorstep.
People have no choice but to entrust their children to her care, so they definitely need to find out where she lives before they can feel at ease.
It's unclear how long the two wolves had been lying in wait there, but the moment they saw the couple, their eyes lit up, and they immediately stood up straight and began to scrutinize them.
Not seeing the wolf cubs, the two wolves' expressions visibly darkened, as if to say, "Where are my children?"
What's going on?
Why is that silly dog the only one following the two of them?
Seeing this, Lin Momo quickly released the wolf cub from her spatial storage.
The wolf cub, still a little dazed from being outside the space, suddenly howled at its parents when a male and a female wolf surrounded it and it caught their long-lost scent. The cub looked very happy.
The wolf parents lovingly licked their cubs' fur.
She had anticipated this would happen, which is why she specifically brought the wolf cub along when she went out.
They hadn't left the valley all winter, and the wolf couple, missing their cubs, had wandered outside the cave countless times.
After a winter of growth, the wolf cubs have grown quite a bit and are now able to learn to hunt from their parents.
The wolf couple came to pick up their cubs and bring them home.
The cold and long winter is over, and the living conditions are not so harsh anymore. It's time to bring our only child with us and train him properly.
This child will be the hope of their kind.
Whether the community can grow strong again depends on it.
The family of three spent some time together in love, and then the wolf couple left with their cubs.
Before leaving, the male wolf with a tuft of white fur on its tail let out two soft "woofs" at Lin Momo, as if to say, "I'm taking the child with me. Until we meet again."
The wolf cub was very reluctant to leave with its parents.
It had gotten used to being cared for by humans and couldn't bear to leave its little friend Benben, so it tried to sneak towards Lin Momo.
The male wolf used its paws to pull the cub back, then lowered its head, picked up the fur on the back of the cub's neck, and ran into the woods.
Caught off guard, the mother wolf reared up and hurried after the father and son.
Seeing the wolf cub being forcibly taken away by its parents, the reluctant Benben barked and ran after the cub.
"Benben, come back!" Lin Momo called out helplessly.
Other parents are bringing their children home, why are you causing trouble?
Benben retreated behind its owner, looking back every few steps, its expression quite dejected.
"His playmate was taken home by his parents, and the little guy is sad," Shi Guang said with a smile.
This dog is so intelligent and understanding.
He had never seen such an interesting puppy before.
Amused, Lin Momo squatted down, gently stroking the yellow fur on its back, and comforted it with a smile, "Don't be sad, silly, you'll meet again in the mountains. Come on, let's go pick some wild vegetables!"
With that, he got up and left with Time.
Having felt slightly comforted, Benben immediately put aside his sadness and went after his owner.
This time, the two planned to revisit the same place and take a look at that bare forest.
Little did they know, they wouldn't know until they arrived, and what they found there was quite a shock.
On the ground, where there were withered branches and fallen leaves everywhere, bare plant stems with curled tips sprouted up.
This is the famous "King of the Wild" - bracken fern, also known as dragon head vegetable, fern fern, fake fist vegetable, auspicious vegetable, child's fist, etc.
It has a very wide distribution and can be found unexpectedly in the mountains of both the south and the north, growing on grassy slopes, forest clearings, and the edges of forests.
It has different names in different places.
Bracken fern is tender and delicate with a lingering aftertaste, and it is also highly nutritious, containing large amounts of carotene, vitamin C, protein, crude fat, and crude fiber.
This vegetable is sweet, cold in nature, and moist. Its roots, leaves, and whole plant can all be used as medicine. It has a variety of medicinal effects, such as calming the nerves, clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and dispelling wind and dampness.
It can be eaten fresh, pickled in salt, or dried for storage.
Bracken roots can also be made into bracken starch, a high-grade starch used to make maltose, biscuits, and vermicelli.
Although this was the first time Lin Momo had seen it in the mountains, she had watched many videos about it, and its appearance was highly recognizable, so she recognized it as bracken at a glance.
So the two of them spent the whole morning happily harvesting ferns in the woods.
As for Benben, who couldn't help, it was like it was being let out for a stroll as soon as it came out. Seeing its two owners busy here, it went back to its old ways.
