After Yang Xinyu finished speaking, she quickly found a set of clothes and put them into the basket.
In fact, she had felt sticky the night before and wanted to take a bath.
However, there was still someone else around. If she, a widow, were to bathe her old residence by the river, it would inevitably attract the Madame Hee-zhou to speak crazily.
Now that she had moved out of the old house, she didn't have to worry at all.
"I …" Hee Zijun wanted to say that he would go with them, but stopped himself after thinking about it.
It wasn't that he was afraid of being seen.
No matter how worried he was for Fifth Sister-in-law, in name, he was still Fifth Sister-in-law's brother-in-law.
Forget about bathing in the same river as Fifth Sister-in-law, it would even be against the rules to stand guard by the side.
No matter what others said, he couldn't surpass them in the first place!
"I know."
Hee Zijun replied softly, and said unwillingly, "But Fifth Sister-in-law, you must not stay outside for too long. It's late in the night, so that little river is connected to its Back Mountain, so don't come across any wild beasts. "
There weren't many people around, but it meant that there were more likely to be wild beasts.
Yang Xinyu had only wanted to take a bath earlier, but didn't think much of it.
Thinking about this, she turned around and took another shovel, saying, "Younger Brother, don't worry, I'll be back after a short wash."
Hee Zijun was relieved, he nodded his head, and with a shake of his fat body, he disappeared into the night.
In the pitch-black night sky, countless stars flashed as they filled the sky.
The light wind brushed against his face, dispersing the hot air around Yang Xinyu.
She walked to the stream and made sure there was no one around. She quickly took off her clothes and left them on the shore.
Then, with a "plop" sound, his entire body was submerged into the water, except for his head.
The cold feeling suddenly seeped into Yang Xinyu's bones, she only felt that it was really comfortable, she suddenly took a deep breath, and buried her head into the river as well.
The rope was washed away by the river water as Yang Xinyu's long black hair spread out in the water like seaweed.
The only thing the original owner could be proud of was his long hair!
It was because she ate well and had a better absorption ability than most people. Her hair reached her waist and was dark and beautiful, without any forks in it.
Yang Xinyu didn't wash her hair properly last time, so she just directly jumped out of the water this time.
Unfortunately, there were no soaphorn, so she could only use water to slowly scatter her hair.
The water trickled down between her fingers and dripped into the river.
The cool night water was warm, accompanied by the fresh air, Yang Xinyu felt that every single pore of her seemed to be breathing.
Just as Yang Xinyu was immersed in the thought, a 'kacha' sound broke the silence of the night.
The sound was like the sound of a tree branch being broken, and it was unknown if it was human or beast.
As a secret service agent, Yang Xinyu's vigilance suddenly rose.
There was no sign of human habitation, so it was highly likely that they were wild beasts.
The wild beasts in the mountains were able to swim, but they would not reach deep water either.
If she borrowed the river water, she might even be able to harvest a wave of fresh game …
Yang Xinyu's eyes lit up, she remembered the direction where she placed the clothes. After taking a deep breath, she dove into the water and swam towards the lake.
It was getting dark and she didn't want to find clothes to cover her face. As soon as she swam ashore, she grabbed the fish and started staring at her surroundings.
He had heard some movement in the water earlier, but it had turned quiet at this moment.
There was only the sound of insects and nothing else.
Yang Xinyu was suspicious, could it be that she was too nervous and started hearing things?
"Creak —"
There was another sound of breaking branches, this time closer.
Yang Xinyu was sure that she was not hearing things, and used her instincts to fiercely swing her staff towards that direction.
"Hiss …" A man gasped, and the hoe was firmly grasped in his hand.
Dark clouds moved past the moon, bringing light to the land.
Yang Xinyu saw a pair of eyes, a human's eyes.
She reflexively threw her hoe down and jumped into the river, wishing that she could bury her head in the water too. "Su Xigui, you … Are you a man or not? You actually peeked at me, a girl, taking a bath in the middle of the night! "
He thought that since there was no one around, it could only be wild beasts. He never expected that Su Xigui would be missed!
Didn't she just show him nothing?
Although the original owner's obese body did not look good, it was now Yang Xinyu's body.
A girl's body, for an unfamiliar man to look at for no reason, would make anyone angry.
But when Yang Xinyu got angry, Su Xigui thought that it was bad luck!
He woke up in the middle of the night, thirsty, and wanted to drink from the river.
At first he heard movement in the river and thought it was a beast.
After all, who would come to the river in the middle of the night?
It turned out to be a woman instead of a wild beast.
This woman's strength was still too great. With just a swing of the stick, even his wounds were split open!
The gaping wound caused his entire chest to throb in pain. He gritted his teeth and his breathing became unstable, "Miss Yang, are you that cruel to all men?"
Yang Xinyu rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, and even shrank back a little, "Who asked you to peek at me, I thought you were a wild beast!"
It wasn't wrong to call them wild beasts, but a man who peeked at a woman bathing in the middle of the night, wasn't he a wild beast?
Listening to how Su Xigui's Qi was unstable, she was afraid that he would suddenly attack his like a wild beast!
Su Xigui held onto his chest, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "If I were to steal a glance at you, how would you discover me? Miss Yang, if you are any more ruthless, I'm afraid you will lose your life … "
No matter how slow Yang Xinyu was, she should have noticed the abnormality of his tone, "Young Master Su, what's wrong?"
As she spoke, Yang Xinyu felt a little guilty. She seemed to have used 80% of her strength just now.
An ordinary person might be able to endure an injury of eighty percent of an ordinary person's strength, but her strength was still ten times more than an ordinary person.
"…"
Yang Xinyu replied in silence.
She carefully climbed onto the shore, donned her clothes, and went to look for Su Xigui, only to see him lying on the ground motionlessly.
The moonlight was like water, illuminating his pale face that was as white as snow.
In that instant, Yang Xinyu felt a little guilty, and she immediately found an excuse to do so.
"It's not my fault! Who told you to not know what's good for you and come to the river in the middle of the night to rest? "
Yang Xinyu said, while carrying Su Xigui on her shoulder, she walked towards the cave.
This trip had wasted a lot of her strength and caused her to sweat profusely.
When she put him down, she was about to collapse!
He ate some hawthorn in the evening. This thing wasn't even worth being hungry for, it even helped him digest it.
She was starving.
He couldn't even see the road clearly in the middle of the night, let alone look for medicinal herbs. Yang Xinyu thought for a bit and could only come back tomorrow morning.
She laid him flat on the straw, checked his wounds in the dark, then spread another layer of straw over him before leaving in peace.
