In the past two days, Cao Xi and Qin Zhao were collecting wild hawthorns in the back mountain. They discovered the wild hawthorns accidentally.
At that time, he couldn't help but take a bite. Qin Zhao's mouth was sore, he spit, and refused to take another bite.
They picked a lot today, and also picked up a lot of dry branches and weeds.
After doing this, the two of them were exhausted. Wild hawthorns, branches, and weeds were piled randomly in the corner.
The wandering life has made the two of them dirty. After this day's work, it can be described as miserable.
Cao Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go to the river behind the Tutu Temple to wash up briefly.
Just do it, Cao Xi took a change of clothes and led Qin Zhao to a cave by the river.
She discovered this place accidentally. It is very secluded with mountains on three sides, and the water is not deep, so it is suitable for washing.
Cao Xi: "You keep an eye on the person for me while I clean him."
"Do you have to wash here?" Qin Zhao tightly grabbed the corner of Cao Xi's clothes and refused to let go. It was difficult for him to accept bathing in the open air.
"There's nothing we can do. We've all turned into clay figures." She didn't want to. There was nothing we could do.
Qin Zhao held his hand tighter, with a tangled look on his face, "But this is immoral."
"Is that why I asked you to help me look after people?" Cao Xi undressed, and Qin Zhao was so frightened that he quickly covered his eyes and said, "Shameless"
All around could be heard the sound of running water and the sound of Cao Xi's clothes falling to the ground.
Qin Zhao covered his eyes tightly, fearing that he might accidentally see something he shouldn't have seen.
Cao Xi: "I'm going over. Release your hands later and show me the person."
As the footsteps gradually faded away, Qin Zhao cautiously loosened one finger, looked around, and found that no one was around, so he dared to loosen his whole hand.
Picking up the clothes on the ground, he was like a frightened bird paying attention to the movements around him, for fear that someone would appear out of nowhere.
Cao Xi quickly washed himself in the water cave. The water hit his body and was cool. Fortunately, it was noon. If he had caught a cold at night, he probably had a cold. After about a cup of tea, Cao Xi put on his underwear and came out of the water cave.
Qin Zhao saw that Cao Xi's hair was wet and still dripping with water, and he was wearing underwear with his trousers hanging above his knees. He was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes and did not dare to look.
Cao Xi walked to him, took the clothes in his hand and put them on, "You go and wash them too."
"I won't go" Qin Zhao's attitude was very firm
"No, you stink"
Qin Zhao subconsciously lowered his head to smell his clothes and found that there was a smell.
Qin Zhao didn't want to admit it and said, "My clothes are smelly, just wash them and they'll be fine."
Cao Xi: "Clothes need to be washed, and so do people. Go quickly." As he said this, he started to untie his clothes.
Qin Zhao screamed in fright, grabbed his belt tightly, and cried, "You are a scoundrel, a gangster, and shameless." He shouted out all the words he knew, but he could not stop Cao Xi's actions.
Qin Zhao tugged on his remaining pants and cried loudly, "I knew you had evil intentions against me."
His innocence is gone, and this scoundrel is not going to let him go today.
"Go on, be careful. Don't fall." Cao Xi let go of Qin Zhao and asked him to enter the water hole quickly.
Qin Zhao had no choice but to follow Cao Xi's request and walk cautiously into the water cave. When he arrived at the water cave, he found that the surroundings were very secretive.
Now that they have arrived, they can only bathe in the open air. Qin Zhao reluctantly poured water on his body bit by bit. It was so cold.
As I washed, I no longer felt the chill on my body, and I felt much more relaxed. But as soon as I relaxed, I lost my footing and fell into the water.
Qin Zhao was so frightened that he flopped around in the water and drank several times of water without standing up.
In panic, his body suddenly flew into the air, and the unknown fear made Qin Zhao hug the visitor.
He hurriedly wiped the water from his face with his hands, and Cao Xi's smiling face appeared in front of him.
"Are you feeling better?" Cao Xi glanced at Qin Zhao in his arms.
"Ahhhhhh" a high-pitched voice echoed throughout the water hole.
Qin Zhao found that he was wearing nothing and was being held in Cao Xi's arms.
This is the situation, now Qin Zhao ignores her.
Cao Xi: "I didn't see anything, really."
Are you telling lies if you don't open your eyes? Qin Zhao was ashamed and angry, "Shameless, who let you in?"
He has no secrets anymore, he has been exposed.
Cao Xi: "Didn't I see you fall into the river?" What's so good about a little kid?
"I'm almost standing up"
Qin Zhao glared at Cao Xi fiercely, he didn't want Cao Xi to see his ugly appearance.
The two of them were in a stalemate, and Qin Zhao still had his back to Cao Xi until he went to bed at night.
Cao Xi wanted to hold his forehead, but the little kid had a strong sense of self-protection.
In desperation, Cao Xi suddenly had an idea, "Shall I tell you a story?"
Cao Xi poked Qin Zhao's back with his finger. Qin Zhao twisted but still didn't look back.
When other people in the Tutu Temple heard that Cao Xi was going to tell a story, they were all very excited, especially the buffalo. "Sister Cao Xi, tell me quickly. He won't listen to us."
There were actually people listening, and Cao Xi's interest was aroused, but she did not forget her purpose. I specially choose some scary stories to tell you.
Qin Zhao became even more angry when he heard what the buffalo said. He clenched his little fists tightly. He thought that if Cao Xi dared to tell him a story, he would never pay attention to her again.
Unfortunately, things didn't work as planned, as Cao Xi's story-telling voice came slowly.
Qin Zhao, who was angry at first, was gradually attracted by the content of the story.
Cao Xi was talking about an embroidered shoe and chose the most terrifying version.
Qin Zhao listened with rapt attention. It was okay at first but then something started to go wrong.
He unconsciously leaned closer to Cao Xi.
Looking at the little man who is about to fall into his arms, Cao Xi's story becomes more vivid and realistic.
Qin Zhao didn't dare to listen, but he also wanted to know the ending. He tensed up, suppressed his fear, and waited for the ending wholeheartedly.
Seeing that he was fascinated by what he was listening to, Cao Xi had bad thoughts. When he talked about the ghost coming back to claim his life, he quietly reached out to Qin Zhao's back with his hands and suddenly screamed.
With a frightened Qin Zhaoao, he turned around and got into Cao Xi's arms, hugging Cao Xi's waist tightly and not letting go.
The frightened voices in the Tutu Temple came and went, and everyone listening to the story was frightened out of their wits by Cao Xi's shrill voice.
Cao Xi hugged Qin Zhao tightly and stroked his back, "Don't be angry anymore. I'll tell you the story of the Lion King."
The fright only lasted for a moment. When Qin Zhao recovered, he realized that Cao Xi had told him a ghost story to tease him.
He was so angry that he stood up and pounced, pressing Cao Xi under him.
Cao Xi laughed loudly while holding his messed up hair, pulled him down and hugged him, and continued to tell stories.
Li Feng watched their interaction with some envy. He had been watching Cao Xi's little actions just now, so he was not frightened by her.
............................
The next day, Cao Xi took Qin Zhao to the river to wash the relatively good clothes, but they could not wear dirty clothes to sell food.
The hawthorns were also cleaned, and the branches were cut into sticks for later use.
The two of them worked together to make a straw target, a small one that they couldn't even lift. Qin Zhao's whole body was bent out of exhaustion after working all day.
After washing, she quickly climbed onto the bed. After lying down, she kept calling Cao Xi to come up quickly.
Qin Zhao: "Cao Xi, what are you still busy with? Go to bed quickly."
Cao Xi: "I will turn over the wild hawthorns that have been dried."
"Cao Xi, will anyone buy our food at the temple fair? Is it sour and not tasty?"
Qin Zhao was a little worried, he was afraid of wasting sugar. The candy was so valuable that he was reluctant to eat it, but he wanted to use it to make candied haws.
"When it's ready, I'll give it to you first." Cao Xi walked to the bed and pinched Qin Zhao's nose with a smile.
Qin Zhao shook his head to prevent Cao Xi from pinching him any more, "Come up and go to bed, aren't you tired?"
"Tired, tired, sore backs and backs" are all children, and they must be too much to do so much work.
Qin Zhao: "Then come up quickly and I'll give you a pat on the back."
Qin Zhao kept beating Cao Xi on the back with his small fists. The small fists had little power but were very heart-warming.
Cao Xi knew that Qin Zhao was very tired, so he beat him a few times and made him stop, turned over and hugged his little body to "sleep"
Qin Zhao nestled in Cao Xi's arms and raised his head and asked, "Are you comfortable?"
"It's comfortable. Qin Zhao's small fist massage is very comfortable." Cao Xi felt sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.
Qin Zhao: "Then I will give you massages often in the future."
Cao Xi had fallen asleep, and Qin Zhao snuggled into her arms and fell asleep too.
