Unfortunately, the iron pot has a round bottom and is unstable on the ground.
He carried a shovel, lit a candle, stuck it in the soil next to it, and dug a hole in the yard.
…
This frightened Linglong.
Is it possible that they want to kill people for gold and destroy the corpses to eliminate traces?
The hole is almost dug!
…
Her feet hurt and she couldn't run away.
He covered his face and cried.
This man fell out of favor so quickly. He was quite benevolent when he was feeding porridge just now. Why was he digging a hole in the blink of an eye?
Could it be that you hit his hand and angered him?
Or do you think she is troublesome and don't want to serve her anymore?
Linglong felt a little regretful. She had been living under someone else's roof and had offended them. How could she blame them for turning against her?
That dark hole must be very dirty! She was afraid of the dark and dirty. Thinking of this, she cried even harder.
She didn't want to sleep in a dark pit. He should have slept in a crystal coffin. She bit her lip.
…
Qingshan prepared a large pot of warm water, picked some wild flowers from the yard, picked off the petals and threw them in.
She went into the house and hugged Linglong. She had already thought about her last words, but she was still trembling with fear and cried, "No..."
Qingshan was stunned for a moment, with sparks flashing in his mind. He thought she was thinking wrongly, so he quickly explained, "I'm not a beast. Let's discuss it."
Do you still need to discuss the killing?
When she saw a glimmer of hope of survival, she discussed, "I will repay you in the future."
Qingshan smiled. His face was still handsome, but he was too big and felt oppressive when he stood in front of him.
"How to repay?"
"Gold and silver are useless, so I will give you food, okay?"
He smiled and said, "No need. I can eat as much as I can! It's useless to ask for so much."
Linglong smiled when she saw him, her white teeth were sinister. He said that we can discuss it, but does this mean he refuses to discuss it? She felt unsure and her body was shaking.
Feeling her trembling, Qingshan pressed his cheek against her forehead. She was obedient and soft, not daring to say a word.
Qingshan was puzzled. He didn't have any fever, so why was he shaking? Could it be cold on a hot day?
After carrying her to the yard, Qingshan asked her to look at the warm water soaking the petals, wash them quickly, otherwise they will get cold.
I lit some candles for you. After washing, call me to carry you back. "
Only then did Linglong realize that he was preparing a bathtub.
The wooden fence is high enough so no one would pass by and peek. Aoyama just needs to hide in the house.
But why is this bathtub so dark...
"Your bathtub is dark..."
"It's cast iron, isn't it black?"
"cast iron?"
Qingshan was afraid that she would be picky again. "Yes, do as the Romans do. Our bathtub is like this. Please wash it quickly. The water will get cold in a while. Call me after washing."
After saying that, he went into the house and closed the doors and windows, acting like a gentleman.
…
Linglong's right foot was good, so she stood on one leg, took off her dress, took off the herbs stuck on her body, and got into the bathtub.
My back and ankles still hurt a bit.
She hissed and endured it for a while, finally getting used to it. This bathtub is strange. The bottom is not flat. No wonder it has to be dug to make it stable.
There were some mosquitoes, but luckily she was curled up in the water.
After soaking for a while, the water felt a little cold.
I wanted to ask Qingshan to add some hot water, but his eyes met with a pair of bright eyes.
Linglong didn't know what it was, but she saw the thing swishing past. She realized later that it was a living thing?
She roared.
If it weren't for the inability to use his left foot, he would have jumped out of the bathtub by now. The hair on my body stood up.
…
Qingshan rushed out of the house and rushed to her in two steps. She grabbed Qingshan's clothes in shock and said, "Alive, alive..."
She couldn't tell what it was, and she didn't see it clearly, but Qingshan guessed that it was either a mouse or a grass snake.
At this time, his eyes were fixed on Linglong, who was sitting in the water, looming in the candlelight.
Her little hands pulled at his sleeves.
Qingshan knew for the first time what burning was.
He wanted to just take her back to bed...
~
He shook his head. I, Ye Qingshan, am definitely a rough man from the mountains. I am definitely not a beast.
He turned to leave, but Linglong held on to him in fear, "I'm afraid! You have to guard me!"
In the past, when she took a bath, a palace maid would guard her and she would be served by eunuchs. Now she was used to treating Qingshan as a palace maid and eunuch.
…
Ye Qingshan had no choice but to turn his back and looked down at his pants. Such a test for a good person...
Good people can also do bad things.
…
Ye Qingshan squatted down and sat cross-legged next to the iron pot. Listen to the subtle ripples of water behind you. His face was red and he was breathing heavily.
Linglong heard his breathing and was a little confused, "Are you tired? Why are you breathing so loudly? It's like a strong wind."
Ye Qingshan rubbed his face, "I'm not tired. It's just that... I feel hot."
…
Linglong tilted her head to look at him. Through the candlelight, she saw his look and suddenly understood.
Her face turned red all of a sudden, this shameless thing!
She wanted to raise her hand and slap him, but when she thought about it, he didn't feel any pain. She didn't dare. She was naked in the water at this time. If he got angry, wouldn't there be no room left...
If you dare to blaspheme this palace, you will settle accounts with him in the future!
When the father, the queen, and the queen find me, they will definitely put him in prison!
This is really not the time, so just bear with it.
She suppressed her anger and was no longer in the mood to sit around. She ordered, "Find me some clean clothes!"
Hearing her unkind tone, Qingshan thought to himself, "You won't let me go, and I'm not happy to be here with you. What's wrong with you!"
I got up and went back to the house to find a coat of my own. It was clean, washed, folded and put away. It is his best and latest piece of cloth. blue.
Linglong's height was considered tall among girls, but it only reached Ye Qingshan's chest, making her look like a little doll in front of him.
There is a big height difference between the two. Ye Qingshan wore this top and it reached to his buttocks. Wear it exquisitely, almost to the calf.
He shook it and took it over. "Just use it as a robe. Let's make do with it. I don't have any other clothes at home."
The clothes were handed to Linglong, and he turned his back.
Linglong came out of the water and wiped her body with a dry cloth. She also disliked the dry cloth and put on Ye Qingshan's top. The previous pink skirt was in tatters and was thrown on the ground. She couldn't take it anymore.
At this time, she was empty inside, and her skin was directly wrapped in a cloth, which made her flesh ache.
She bit her lip in frustration, these tattered clothes...were only worthy of wiping the floor.
She stood on the ground with one foot, put on her clothes, and complained, "I am wearing such hard and ugly clothes!"
Ye Qingshan looked back and saw that the collar was too big and the deep groove was faintly trembling.
The white and tender little feet stepped on the old clothes. I didn't dare to exert force on the injured foot, so I pointed my toes to the ground and it was hard to stand.
He picked up Linglong and said, "The ground is cold."
His hands unconsciously grasped her thighs under the clothes, smelling the fragrance of flowers on her body, "I will give you a bath with flower petals every day from now on. It smells so good!"
Linglong was suddenly picked up by him and said angrily, "You bastard! You scared me! Tomorrow the Imperial Guard Commander will bring someone to pick you up, why not every day!" She didn't want to be here every day, what a big deal this is. Curse! It's best to find Li Ning at dawn.
Qingshan said helplessly, "Even if you are the emperor, you can't leave."
Linglong was so angry that she punched him softly, as if she was joking, "You're talking nonsense!"
Qingshan smiled and said, "Just hit me!"
Linglong ignored him.
…
She was lying on the bed, with no strength at all, and complained, "This bedding is smelly and hard, it smells of your sweat. It's so dirty."
Ye Qingshan looked at the thin legs sliding on the bed under the clothes and wanted to touch them. So close, she fell asleep without any precautions.
…
Linglong vaguely felt someone turning her over. She twisted impatiently, but was still turned over.
She was too sleepy to raise her eyelids. He wanted to rebuke, but his consciousness was blurred and he fell into a deep sleep.
…
