After Yu Ying said, "Take off your clothes and apply medicine," she and Fu Wei were silent for a long time, as if they were in a tug-of-war, competing to see who was more patient.
After a long time, Fu Wei still had no intention of agreeing.
Yu Ying knew what he was worried about, so she discussed: "Let's do this. I will only be responsible for the arms and back. You can wipe the other parts by yourself, so don't mess with it."
When Fu Wei heard her saying that he was naughty, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Perhaps knowing her tenacity, Fu Wei finally accepted his fate after a while.
He lowered his head to untie his shirt and took off his clothes, revealing his lean upper body.
Fu Wei was handsome. After closing his eyes, he raised his chin slightly to expose his neck. Then the Adam's apple in his throat rolled slightly. Yu Ying glanced down along his Adam's apple and saw the clear collarbone.
Fu Wei's appearance seemed to have an aura of abstinence.
This kind of picture is indeed eye-catching, but seeing the old injuries on his body, Yu Ying is not in the mood to appreciate this beauty.
She opened the bottle of medicinal wine and took a slight sniff. There was a faint smell of Chinese herbal medicine.
The bottle tilted slightly, and a little brown liquid fell into the palm of my hand.
Yu Ying glanced at the bruises on his arms and shoulders.
Except for the new bruises on the arms, the bruises elsewhere are not that deep in color, and I think they will disappear with hot compresses and massages two or three times.
The palm holding the medicinal wine slowly covered the bruise on his arm. First, he gently rubbed it open so that the entire bruised area could be smeared with medicinal wine.
The movements were gentle and slow. Due to working for many days, the originally delicate palms were slightly calloused, but the moment they covered the affected area, Fu Wei's palms tightened slightly.
Yu Ying saw his tightened palms and thought he was in pain, so she said slowly: "If it hurts, just endure it."
Hearing this, Fu Wei loosened his slightly clenched hand.
This slight sting, but compared to having his legs abruptly broken and then having his bones set, to Fu Wei, this sting was like being pricked by a bug and had no impact at all.
However, I don't know if it was the effect of the medicinal wine, but my arms were not only hot, but also a little itchy.
Just when Fu Wei thought it was the medicinal wine that made his arm hot, Yu Ying suddenly said: "It will get hot when you rub it for a while, please bear with it."
There was a moment of silence and no response.
Yu Ying didn't expect him to respond, she just reminded him.
The room was silent except for the chirping of cicadas from outside.
Yu Ying rubbed medicinal wine on his arm, and then on Fu Wei's shoulders. While covering it with her palms, she felt Fu Wei's muscles tighten slightly.
Yu Ying glanced at his still closed eyes and tightly pursed lips, and said "relax".
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden light in the room, and someone rolled up the straw curtain at the door.
Yu Ying turned around and saw Fu An, who was holding up the door curtain, panicked on his face and hurriedly let go and ran away.
Yu Ying frowned slightly, a little confused about his reaction, but since she still had work on hand, she didn't think about it in detail.
After rubbing medicinal wine on his shoulders, Yu Ying then massaged his shoulders, neck and back, brushing away the black crow-like hair that was scattered on his back.
The fingertips and palms landed on the bare skin without any hindrance. Due to the lubrication of the medicinal wine, the skin and palms were extremely silky.
Yu Ying didn't have any charming thoughts at first, but she inadvertently saw a thin layer of sweat on Fu Wei's forehead and his skin was red.
If you look carefully, you will find that his eyes are closed, his eyelashes are trembling slightly, and his thin lips, which were originally pale, are now a little brighter.
Yu Ying thought about it for a moment and suddenly understood why Fu An ran away in panic just now.
After understanding it, I realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room.
The ancients were old-fashioned, and to her, massage, which was normal, seemed too close to them, let alone someone like Fu Wei, who talked about whether men and women should be intimate or not.
Yu Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then put these distracting thoughts out of her mind, regardless of what they thought, and then focused on pushing Fu Wei.
Time seemed to pass extremely slowly in terms of danger. All the senses moved with the hands on the shoulders and necks. The palms of the hands rubbed against the spine, and even the tail vertebrae could not help but feel numb.
Fu Wei secretly adjusted his breathing, but the smell of medicinal wine and faint herbs lingered in his breath.
Fu Wei knew very well where the herbs came from.
Fu Wei couldn't help but think of the herbs she dried in the courtyard. She happily picked many herbs every day and dried them again and again. Her house was probably full of herbs.
About half an hour later, Yu Ying was already breaking out in a thin sweat, which showed how laborious the massage was.
Yu Ying glanced at Fu Wei's shirtless body. His skin color was cold white before, but now it was tinged with red.
It must be that the blood has become clearer, Yu Ying thought.
"Okay, there may be soreness and pain, but it is normal. You can have a peaceful sleep tonight. I will give you another massage the day after tomorrow."
After Yu Ying said that, she capped the bottle of medicinal wine, then turned around and left the room.
After the person left, Fu Wei opened his eyes, took a long breath, raised his hand and slowly placed it on his heart.
Another long breath.

When Yu Ying came out of the house, she saw Fu An sleeping on the table, and the fruits of the pomegranate fruit were already drying on the dustpan and sieve beside it.
Yu Ying withdrew her gaze and turned to wash her hands.
It was probably the sound of washing water that woke Fu An. He raised his head and rubbed his eyes blankly.
But when Yu Ying turned to look at him, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly his face turned red and his eyes turned elsewhere.
Yu Ying:......
I don't know how to explain it, and in the eyes of others, she and Fu Wei are husband and wife, and it seems normal for a husband and wife to be intimate.
She didn't say anything, and quietly entered the house. She glanced at her grandfather and grandson who were sleeping next to each other on the bed of straw. Yu Ying gently took out the bamboo tube filled with water outside the house.
After taking a sip of the mint water, my whole body felt refreshed and even the heat dissipated a lot.
After a while, Aunt He and the others came and continued working.
Around the time of Shen, the latrine, kitchen, and bathroom were all ready. Song Sanlang and He Family Dalang went to the river to load a lot of sand and gravel back, including some pebbles.
A layer of sand and pebbles was laid in the bathroom, which was still lower than the kitchen to prevent water from flooding outside.
By sunset, the two thatched huts had been reinforced.
Aunt He warned her not to cook their food, so she went back as soon as it was done.
The yard returned to calm. Yu Ying looked at the newly built latrine, kitchen and bathroom, and felt like she could breathe a sigh of relief.
Finally, I don’t have to go out to use the bathroom, and I don’t have to hold it in all night.
After simply scrubbing my body for so many days, I was finally able to take a refreshing bath.
The two children were undoubtedly the happiest. They were so excited to see the newly built huts, shacks, and bathrooms, with the brothers and sisters going in and out all the time.
Yu Ying looked at Sa Huan's brother and sister, smiled, and then went to do some simple cleaning.
The hut is in the corner of the yard.
Yu Ying picked some wild flowers this morning and put them next to the water tank and sprinkled some water from time to time to prevent them from wilting. She divided the wild flowers into several portions.
A small handful was hung in the hut, and a smaller handful was hung in the bathroom, which added a little difference to the simple and simple thatched house, and it was very comfortable to look at.
She made two more bamboo tubes, filled them with some water, and then put the flowers into the bamboo tubes.
I put a tube of flowers in the house where I lived. Since there was no place to put it, I had to put it on the ground next to the bed.
Another tube of flowers was brought into the room where Fu Wei was and placed on the table, adding a touch of bright vitality to the gray room.
Seeing that Fu Wei seemed to be resting, Yu Ying went out of the house to make evening meal without calling him.
After she left the house, she closed her eyes until she opened them. She turned her head and looked at the brightly colored wild flowers on the table.
The originally expressionless and deserted face lost two points of old age and became one point more lively.

Yu Ying moved a wooden block that reached about her knees into the kitchen, then placed the pottery stove on top and started cooking.
Tonight I just made a simple porridge, put a few dried red mushrooms in the porridge, added half a spoonful of lard, and sprinkled a little salt.
After bringing the porridge to the house, Fu Wei just woke up and glanced at her without saying anything.
Yu Ying said: "I'm still a little busy, wait until I finish my work before eating."
Fu Wei nodded slightly in response.
Not knowing where Fu An had gone, Yu Ying placed five bowls on the table and divided the porridge.
After dividing the porridge, she took the clay pot out of the house, cleaned it, filled a clay pot with water into the kitchen, and boiled the water and boiled the medicine.
At the end of the day, Fu An was excited for a while after seeing the new house, but he didn't say much before and after. It was strange that even Luo Shi, who couldn't see it, sensed the clues, so he quietly took his grandson to the corner to talk.
Luo Shi asked him: "I haven't heard much from you all afternoon. What's wrong with you?"
Fu'an opened his mouth and said the word "noon", but he didn't know what to say, so he closed his mouth.
Luo Shi thought something happened at noon, so he quickly asked: "What on earth happened? Tell me quickly!"
Fu An stuck his head out and glanced towards the kitchen, and when he saw his aunt working in the kitchen, he retracted his head.
He drew circles on the ground with his toes and hesitated for a while. After Luo Shi was almost impatient to wait, he blushed and said, "I saw my uncle taking off his clothes at noon today, and my aunt's hands were touching my uncle's body again." Knead it again..."
Luo Shi was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he heard his grandson say again: "Grandma, are my uncle and aunt going to have a baby?"
Roche:…
Yu Ying came to call them to eat:...
Fu'an's little head can really think, and he really dares to think.
Neither grandfather nor grandson noticed Yu Ying behind the corner. Luo Shi lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense. That's your aunt applying medicine to your uncle."
Luo Shi would like to see the two of them achieve perfection, but she doesn't dare to think about it.
They have too many family affairs and are not worthy of the Yu family at all.
Yu Ying thought for a while, then turned around and walked back to the kitchen silently. He shouted outside the door of the restaurant: "It's time to eat."
