The road on the mountain is indeed difficult.
It was okay when we first arrived at the foot of the mountain. The higher you go up, the steeper the road becomes. If you don't pay attention, you will slip and fall.
The sun has not yet reached the woods, and the dew on the leaves and grass has not yet dried. It hits my body and makes me wet quickly.
Xiao Mu opened the way in front and tried his best to pull aside the branches that stretched out onto the road to make it easier for Ye Luoxin to walk.
But it's of little use.
The roads on the mountain are not all flat. In some places, Ye Luoxin even had to hold Xiao Mu up to hold her up before Ye Luoxin could climb up.
After walking for less than an hour, Ye Luoxin was out of breath. There happened to be a large flat stone slab in front of her. Xiao Mu put down the backpack, took out a mat, and asked Ye Luoxin to sit on the stone slab to rest.
"Are you tired? If you can't bear it, it's still too late to turn back now."
"No reply." Ye Luoxin shook her head, took the kettle handed over by Xiao Mu, and took two sips.
"If you go up any further, you can't look back." Xiao Mu confirmed again.
Ye Luoxin glared at him: "I won't give up so easily!"
"Okay." Xiao Mu bent the corner of his mouth, took back the water bottle, took a few sips himself, and said, "We will reach the place where we will stay today after walking for two hours. We will rest there today."
"You still have a place to stay on the mountain?" Ye Luoxin was a little surprised.
She always thought that mountain runners just rested wherever they went and took things as they came.
"Yes, we are running in the mountains for ten days and a half. How can we not have a place to stay? But the place is simple and simple, just for temporary rest."
Xiao Mu didn't explain too much, just said: "You will know when you arrive."
After walking for a long time, Ye Luoxin saw a small wooden house standing in the mountains.
The wooden house uses local materials, with thick tree trunks for the walls and thick branches and leaves covering them.
The house doesn't look big, but when you go inside, you'll find that everything inside is quite complete.
There are many beds, tables and chairs, and a complete set of pots and pans. Even the water tank is filled with clean water.
"Did you prepare this?" Ye Luoxin asked in surprise.
"No, it's the previous guest." Xiao Mu put down his backpack and leaned his things against the wall.
"The last guest?" Ye Luoxin didn't understand.
Xiao Mu took the things in her hands again, placed them, and patiently explained:
"This is the rule for us mountain runners. We all live in wind and rain. It is not safe on the mountain, so we built a wooden house like this.
Mountain runners who pass by can come in and rest, and the water and food here can also be used freely.
One thing is that used things must be replenished in time, so the water here is always full, and the little food is often replaced with new ones. When it is convenient for everyone to go up the mountain, they will also bring some pots and bowls. Slowly, there are more and more things here. "
I see.
There are many doorways one after another. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, how could she dare to believe that there was such a place in the deep mountains.
"The next destination is too far, so I'll sleep here today."
As Xiao Mu said that, he found the insect repellent in his backpack, spread it around the house, and found firewood to boil water.
Ye Luoxin was not idle either, and took advantage of this time to empty out some of the things she had brought.
You can't be as particular about what you eat when you go out as you are at home.
She took out a handful of japonica rice and put it into the pot, preparing to make two bowls of porridge. She also put a curtain on the pot to heat pancakes. Then she took out the pickle dumplings that Xu Zhengxiang had packed, cut them into small pieces, mixed them a little, and had a meal. A simple meal is ready.
Xiao Mu usually ate simple meals on the mountain, and the pancakes were often cold. Although today's meal was simple, at least he had hot rice, and he was very satisfied.
"We'll walk another day tomorrow and we'll be there the day after tomorrow. When we get there, I'll get you something delicious to satisfy your cravings."
The so-called satiation is to hunt some prey in the mountains.
Xiao Mu never takes vegetables or meat with him when he leaves home, because there is everything in the mountains. Although he is not good at hunting, he can still catch pheasants and rabbits occasionally.
"Okay." Ye Luoxin nodded happily.
The days are short in the mountains, and it's already dark before the sun completely sets.
After walking for a day, both of them were a little tired.
Ye Luoxin originally wanted to wipe herself, but the room was too small and she was embarrassed to take off her clothes in front of Xiao Mu. After thinking about it, she decided to forget it.
Fortunately, Xiao Mu still remembered her habit. Before dark, she went to pick up two buckets of water, heated the water, put it in a basin, and called Ye Luoxin: "It's cold on the mountain, just wipe yourself. Go outside and take a look.”
Ye Luoxin knew that she wanted to resolve her embarrassment, but now she had something more embarrassing to do.
"Wait a minute," Ye Luoxin suppressed her blush and muttered for a long time, and finally said, "I want to make it easier, but it's dark outside and I'm a little scared."
There are no huts on the mountain, and the most convenient place is the nearby grass.
It was fine during the day, but at night, the shadows of the trees swayed, as if a monster had opened its mouth, which was very frightening.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go with you."
"But I..." Ye Luoxin didn't know what to say. She definitely wanted Xiao Mu to accompany her, but if Xiao Mu heard the sound next to her...
She simply couldn't imagine that scene.
"If you are afraid, I will stay closer." Xiao Mu obviously didn't know what she was worried about.
"No need!" Ye Luoxin said quickly, "Just stand far away."
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the fear in her heart defeated her shyness. She hurriedly finished solving the problem, picked up her pants and ran back into the house.
Xiao Mu stood outside the door and waited for her to finish wiping herself and changing her clothes before entering the house.
"Just now..." Xiao Mu looked at her and spoke.
"Don't say it!" Ye Luoxin's face turned red all of a sudden before she could get over her shyness.
"I took a look at the moon just now. It should be good weather tomorrow." Xiao Mu still insisted on finishing the sentence.
"you……"
Ye Luoxin didn't know if he did it on purpose, so she simply turned her back.
Then, she heard a chuckle and a rustling sound.
Turning around, he saw that Xiao Mu had taken off his shirt and was wiping his upper body with water.
Under the moonlight, the man has broad shoulders, a tall and straight posture, and smooth and beautiful muscle lines, each one as beautiful as a sculpture.
Ye Luoxin's eyes widened when she saw it.
This man must know how good his figure is.
Xiao Mu finished wiping and threw the soft cloth into the basin. Only then did she react. She immediately turned around and covered her already red face with the quilt.
The newly made quilt still exudes the smell of sunshine. After Ye Luoxin got in, the scent of her body was evaporated.
This was what Xiao Mu smelled when he lifted the quilt and prepared to go to bed.
Young bodies cannot withstand stimulation.
He felt a hot breath moving around in his body, and his heart suddenly felt empty, as if a piece was missing and urgently needed to be filled.
Ye Luoxin's body was still small and huddled up. He lay down and leaned over gently. When his arms finally touched Ye Luoxin's back, he sighed silently.
It turns out that as long as he touches lightly like this, he will be satisfied.
Ye Luoxin felt the man approaching and was too frightened to move.
Although the relationship between the two has become much closer since they got married, she still feels unsure.
Xiao Mu's hand moved downwards little by little.
When his big palm touched Ye Luoxin's leg, Ye Luoxin finally stopped pretending to be asleep and raised a hand to put on the back of Xiao Mu's hand: "Don't..."
"After a day of walking on the mountain road, let me squeeze it for you, otherwise it will be very painful tomorrow." Xiao Mu said at the same time.
His palms were a little rough, and when he touched his skin, he felt a slight numbness.
Ye Luoxin felt his warm palm moving from top to bottom with moderate force, and then from bottom to top, and she fell asleep unconsciously.
