"Knock knock."
While the three people in the room were staring at each other, someone knocked on the door.
"Grandpa, put it down. I'll be fine."
After thanking him, Xu Qingmo moved the wooden barrel into the house.
"The wooden barrel is right here. I'll let you all have some water. Talk about who should wash first." Xu Qingmo said, and began to pour the water.
Lin Ruochu and Lin Youxi looked at each other, then couldn't help but ask: "What about you, you're not going out."
"What am I going out for? I'm just going to bathe in my room. I'm not going to be exposed." Xu Qingmo said innocently.
"But if you're here, how are we supposed to bathe?" Lin Youxi said.
"I don't know about that, but I'm sure I can take a bath anyway. If you guys don't want to take a bath, then go to sleep."
The two girls looked at the bucket of water and felt itchy all over their bodies.
"You won't wash? "Then I'll wash." Xu Qingmo said as he took off his shirt.
"No, I'll wash." Lin Youxi was panicking. After walking for such a long time, she felt that her entire body was reeking of the smell. If he didn't want her to take a bath, then he might as well kill her.
"Youxi." Lin Ruochu grabbed Lin Youxi's arm, and looked at Xu Qingmo warily.
"I can't help it." Lin Youxi said, then said to Xu Qingmo, "You, turn around."
"Pui, take away the mirror in front of you." Lin Youxi shouted.
Xu Qingmo laughed, and since he was discovered, he took away the mirror.
"Put it beside the stool and take it under the table."
Xu Qingmo curled his lips, as if he had seen through some little conspiracy, but he did not say anything, he just followed his instructions and placed the mirror under the table. This mirror was the kind of plastic border mirror that cost five dollars, it was not big, and could only barely look at one's face, and it had to be oval shaped, nobody had used it for a long time, and there was no dust on it.
Seeing that Xu Qingmo had truly turned away, Lin Youxi slowly came out from under the thin blanket, revealing a pair of shockingly long legs.
When the tip of his foot touched the warm water, the comfortable Lin Youxi almost wanted to shout out. Then, without caring about anything else, he first took off his clothes, then squatted down, with only his head exposed outside. That way, even if Xu Qingmo suddenly turned around, he would only be able to see the ripples in the water.
"Hualala."
He even looked at Xu Qingmo from time to time, and found that Xu Qingmo was very honest. He felt even more satisfied with it now, so he turned his head and asked Lin Ruochu: "Sis, do you want to come down as well?"
Lin Ruochu hesitated for a bit, she was a little moved, in this weather, which girl did not want to take a bath? Previously, she was worried Xu Qingmo would peek at her, but now it seemed that Xu Qingmo was rather obedient, if he had always been like this, it was not impossible for her to take a bath.
"Come down, the two of us can wash a little faster. Otherwise, this pervert might have already revealed his true nature after holding it in for so long." Lin Youxi urged.
As the blanket slid down, Lin Ruochu's beautiful legs were not at all inferior to Lin Youxi's, and could even be considered to be a little more plump.
As his clothes slipped, Lin Ruochu hugged his arms, stepped into the wooden barrel, and squatted together with his sister.
The barrels were very large, so the two sisters didn't feel too crowded when they sat down.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle."
The sound of the water became louder, making Xu Qingmo's entire body itch unbearably. In his mind, he could not help but think of the beautiful scene of the sisters bathing in water, but unfortunately, he could not see it.
At that moment, there was another knock on the door.
"Lad, I forgot to give you towels. How are you going to wash without towels?" The old granny's voice sounded natural in Xu Qingmo's ears.
"Thank you, Grandma." Xu Qingmo opened the door and received the brand-new towel. Just as he was about to close the door, the old granny started chanting again.
My granddaughter also likes to take baths, she takes an hour to take baths every day. You youngsters are all like this, I think of her when I see you guys. I think of her when I see you guys.
"Yes, I know." Xu Qingmo's heart felt a little warm. He knew that the reason why she was so enthusiastic was because she reminded the old granny of her granddaughter.
Closing the door, Xu Qingmo held a towel in his hand, without turning his head back, he said: "You guys heard it too, it was Grandma who asked me to rub your backs, it's not me, you hooligans."
With that said, Xu Qingmo retreated step by step towards the barrel.
"Ah, don't come over." The two girls were so frightened by Xu Qingmo that they quickly replied.
"Don't worry, I'll rub your back. I won't peek." Xu Qingmo said righteously, "Do I look like the kind of person who would take advantage of someone in a dangerous situation?"
"No need, we'll wash it ourselves." Lin Ruochu's voice was a bit calmer than Lin Youxi's, but it still carried a bit of a trembling tone.
"That won't do. The old granny specially brought a towel for me to rub your backs. How could I disappoint her kind intentions?" It wasn't easy to get such an excellent opportunity, so Xu Qingmo wouldn't give it up so easily.
"Kid, why haven't you massaged your girlfriend's back yet? Don't be unhappy, a woman is willing to follow you, but she's betting everything …" The grandma's voice sounded outside the door again. It seemed like she remembered her youth.
"I'm here."
Xu Qingmo retreated to the side of the barrel, and his back bumped into it.
At this time, Lin Youxi snatched the towel from Xu Qingmo's hands and started to splash it in the wooden bucket, making a sound so the old granny outside could hear.
"That's more like it. If it was that year, that old grandma would have heard the sound of water and left satisfied."
"You can leave now!" Lin Ruochu said to Xu Qingmo who was outside the barrel, his voice low but cold.
"Yes." Xu Qingmo didn't have the nerve to move his feet too much and arrived under the dressing table. He then sat on the chair and sat motionlessly, in a daze.
Only then did the two girls relax and used towels to wash their bodies.
After a while, the two ladies finished washing up. They cleaned themselves with towels, put on their clothes again, and sat back on the bed.
Xu Qingmo said: "I'm done bathing, it's my turn."
With that, Xu Qingmo saw that his back was taken off, revealing all his muscles.
"No, you can't bathe here anymore." Lin Ruochu said.
"Why?"
"No way, no way. If you want to wash, then go outside. If you don't want to go out, then don't take a bath." Lin Ruochu's voice was cold and unquestionable.
"That's right, big scoundrel. We won't look at your body." Lin Youxi said with a red face, her gaze sweeping across Xu Qingmo's upper body.
"Fine." Xu Qingmo tidied up the wooden tub bitterly, walked to the courtyard, and used a wooden bucket to pour cold water from the well.
Hearing the sound of water splashing outside, Lin Ruochu and Lin Youxi looked at each other. They were a little relieved, but somehow had a trace of disappointment that did not seem to exist.
The sound of water continuously floated in from the window and entered their ears, as if they were telling the two girls about the situation in the courtyard.
Lin Ruochu turned around and faced the window. Then, she quietly got off the bed and walked to the window, not daring to push it. She was afraid that Lin Ruochu would notice him and could only peek outside through the window.
Under the moonlight, a sturdy voice could be heard standing by the well. Under the moonlight, the watery body seemed to be coated with a layer of silver, just like the gods of ancient Greece.
However, Xu Qingmo still wore a pair of shorts on his lower body.
Inexplicably, Lin Youxi's heart started to beat faster, her face and ears flushed red, as though she was blushing from embarrassment.
"I …" Lin Youxi couldn't answer, she only looked at the mirror in front of him, and gradually understood what was going on. She suddenly gritted her teeth and asked, "Why is the mirror here?"
That was, when Xu Qingmo put down the towel, he had quietly brought the mirror up.
Thinking about it here, the two sisters' faces immediately flushed red. No wonder Xu Qingmo was so obedient and sat in front of the dressing table without moving.
Didn't that stinky fellow see all of his body parts?
The sound of water outside the window had also stopped at this time. Xu Qingmo was just about to return inside the house, the two girls' bodies slightly stiffened as their eyes panicked. They looked around, as if trying to find a gap to hide in.
None of them knew how to face Xu Qingmo who was about to enter.
"Creak."
The door opened, and Xu Qingmo wiped the water droplets off his hair.
"The more I think about it, the more I feel that something is amiss."
Xu Qingmo did not notice the abnormality in the two girls and said.
His gaze shifted away from the mirror as if he hadn't noticed the mirror, and then turned his head to look at the corner of the wall. Hearing that Xu Qingmo didn't mention anything about the mirror, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" asked first.
"Don't you find it strange? We entered the village and knocked on seven doors. Every time the door was opened, it was always an old man. We didn't look at the young people at all." Xu Qingmo said what he thought in his heart.
"Hmm?" The two girls finally realised it after hearing what Xu Qingmo had said. It seemed that it made sense, as if all the elders in the village had left, even if they were to stay and defend the village, they couldn't possibly all of the youths had left.
"There's something strange about this village." Xu Qingmo stroked his chin.
"Ah, there's a ghost?" Lin Youxi was suddenly afraid and ran to the bed to sit with her sister.
"Ghost, eat you!" Xu Qingmo made a face at Lin Youxi. "Just ask grandpa and grandma tomorrow morning to find out what's going on, I'll go to bed first."
Xu Qingmo said as he walked to the bed with a wry smile.
"You're not allowed to come here!"
The two girls said in unison, and then each of them threw a pillow at Xu Qingmo.
"Hehe, in this place, even if I do something to you all, you all still won't be able to do anything to me, haha." Xu Qingmo caught the pillow with a smile, and continued to walk towards the beautiful twin sisters on the bed.
