Chapter 39 Cave
Seeing Zhou Yi enter the door, Song Xi's eyes flashed with surprise, he didn't expect him to come back so early today.
Fortunately, she always took the snails into the supermarket to be weighed, and there was no trace on the outside, otherwise Zhou Yi would definitely have to ask.
"Xiaohua came to you in such a hurry just now, what's the matter?" Zhou Yi walked towards Song Xi and asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it's just that Xiaohua gave me a gadget." Song Xi raised the mussel in her hand, which she didn't have time to put in the supermarket.
There is only this one for the time being, she plans to wait for Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua to send her some more, and then put them together in the supermarket to raise them.
"Since my daughter-in-law likes this, I'll find it for her another day. I can find as much as she wants." Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and scratched the tip of Song Xi's small nose, with that expression and eyes, extremely doting.
"Brother Yi, we are all grown-ups, so don't go grab this little thing from kids." Song Xi smiled mischievously, took the mussels into the kitchen, put the mussels into the wooden basin, and started again. Scooped a ladle of water into the water tank and poured it in.
Maybe the river mussels have been hot for too long. As soon as the water is poured in, they immediately open their mouths. The opening and closing looks very cute.
Song Xi looked up at Zhou Yi, "Brother Yi, do you think there will be pearls in this mussel?"
"Try." Zhou Yi said, and was about to get the knife immediately, Song Xi hurriedly grabbed his arm.
This man really listens to the wind and the rain!
Even if she wanted to know if there were any pearls, she didn’t want to break them now. Naturally, she would have to wait until she decided to eat them.
When Song Xi rushed over to grab his arm, a faint fragrance rushed to his face, making Zhou Yi feel sweet even in the scorching summer.
He wanted to hug his little daughter-in-law very much, but he just came back from the outside, and his body smelled of sweat, but fortunately it didn't stink, otherwise the little daughter-in-law would definitely not want to get close to him.
Song Xi felt that the breath sprayed on his neck was scorching, so he quickly let go of Zhou Yi's arm, and moved away slightly, "Brother Yi, you should also rest for a while!"
Only then did Zhou Yi realize that he had just come back, and his whole body was dirty. He came to the well, fetched a bucket of water, and poured it directly on his head.
Song Xi was shocked by his battle. Could it be that he takes a bath like this every day?
Rinse like this, can it be washed clean?
Realizing that she was thinking too much, Song Xi hurriedly turned and went back to the room. She pressed her chest, trying to suppress the beating heart.
Song Xi picked up the tea mug, and when he was about to drink the cool water in it, Zhou Yi came and kept packing up his things, all of which were the necessities of life, as if he was about to 'run away from home'.
"Brother Yi, are you going to go camping at night?" Song Xi's heart skipped a beat, she was a little flustered, she would be scared if she was left alone at night, she really missed the modern times with bright windows and bright lights!
However, no matter how much Song Xi misses the beautiful modern times, she can only bear it, because she can't go back to the modern times.
"Daughter-in-law, I'll take you to a good place tonight. What I'm packing up now are all the things we need." Zhou Yi turned his head to look at Song Xi while he was busy, showing his big white teeth.
Song Xi's hanging heart was relieved. With him around, she would not be afraid anymore.
Song Xi is very much looking forward to the "camping" at night. When she was in college in modern times, she and her classmates went camping in plateau areas, and she could see the night sky while lying in a tent. She didn't know that "camping" in this era would be What kind of experience do you have.
Song Xi thought she was leaving after dinner, but she waited until after ten o'clock at night before Zhou Yi took her out.
Zhou Yi originally wanted to carry her on his back, but she refused. Now she is not the weak and unable to take care of herself when she just woke up.
Now she can lift things weighing several tens of catties, and mountain climbing is nothing more than a trivial matter in her eyes!
However, after walking the mountain road for an hour in the dark, Song Xi regretted not letting Zhou Yi carry her on her back. It was because she was overconfident. She didn't expect it would take so long and she would be so tired.
"Brother Yi, I...I can't walk anymore, let me rest for a while." Song Xi casually supported a tree with the mouth of a bowl, and leaned his shoulders on the trunk, panting slightly.
Although there was a gentle breeze at night, after walking the mountain road for so long, she was already too hot. She wished to pour a bucket of well water over her head like Zhou Yi did.
"Daughter-in-law, we can't waste any more time, or they'll come with frogs, and it won't be good if they can't find us." Zhou Yi freed up a hand, and immediately wrapped his arms around Song Xi's waist, just like that Continue walking up the hill.
The Sheng family and they came to their house with frogs at around 4:30 every morning, so they had to be home before 4:00.
The stir-fried frog business is booming now, and there are no imitations outside. They naturally want to make more money while the iron is hot. Otherwise, other villages will also make stir-fried frogs and seize their market. What should they do?
Song Xi didn't expect that Zhou Yi looked very thin, and his arm strength was so good, he just walked around her with one hand. Even so, Song Xi still hugged Zhou Yi's neck tightly in fear, for fear that he would take her It fell.
Even if Zhou Yi fell himself, it is impossible to fall her.
After walking like this for more than half an hour, Zhou Yi finally stopped. He put Song Xi down next to a tree without blushing, heart beating, and breathing.
Zhou Yi's performance made Song Xi very suspicious. This man must have received some kind of training, otherwise he would not be so strong.
Zhou Yi put the things in his hands by his feet, bit the flashlight with his teeth, and then reached out and moved away the clump of thorns in front of him, revealing a cave half the height of a person, but the cave was pitch black, and there was nothing in it. invisible.
"Daughter-in-law, you wait for me outside first, I'll go in and tidy up." Zhou Yi turned his head and gave Song Xi a worried look, then stooped into the cave with the things he brought over.
Song Xi also had a flashlight in her hand, and she used the flashlight to shine into the cave from behind Zhou Yi, wanting to see the real face inside the cave.
After Zhou Yi entered the cave, he took out candles and lit them in several corners of the cave.
So the cave was lit with a warm yellow light, although it was not as bright as during the day, but it was no longer dark.
Zhou Yi arranged all the things he brought, and then hung the flashlight above his head, just to shine on a pool below.
The pool is round and looks like the mouth of a well, but it is wider and shallower than the mouth of the well, and the water inside is hot, natural hot water.
"Daughter-in-law, everything is ready, come in quickly." Zhou Yi arranged everything and came out to pick up Song Xi.
He took Song Xi's hand excitedly and walked into the cave.
