A trace of surprise flashed across Song Xi’s eyes when she saw Zhou Yi enter. She did not expect him to come back so early today.
Fortunately, she always took the conches into the supermarket to weigh them. There were no traces outside. Otherwise, Zhou Yi would definitely ask.
“Xiao Hua came to look for you in such a hurry just now. What’s the matter?” Zhou Yi walked towards Song Xi and asked worriedly.
“It’s fine. It’s just that Xiao Hua gave me a trinket.” Song Xi waved the river clam in her hand. She didn’t have time to put it in the supermarket.
For the time being, there was only this one. She planned to wait for Zhou Xiao Shu and Zhou Xiao Hua to send her more before putting it in the supermarket to raise.
“Since you like this, I’ll go find it for you another day. I can get as much as you want.” Zhou Yi reached out and scratched the tip of Song Xi’s nose. His expression and gaze were extremely doting.
“Brother Yi, we’re already so old. Let’s not snatch this little thing from a child.” Song Xi smiled mischievously and brought the river clam into the kitchen. She placed the river clam in the wooden basin and scooped a ladle of water from the water vat and poured it in.
Perhaps the river clam had been hot for too long. As soon as the water was poured in, it immediately opened its mouth and looked especially cute.
Song Xi looked up at Zhou Yi. “Brother Yi, do you think there are pearls in this river clam?”
“Let’s try,” Zhou Yi said and immediately went to get the knife. Song Xi hurriedly grabbed his arm.
This man really jumped to conclusions!
Even if she wanted to know if there were pearls, she could not break them now. She naturally had to wait until she decided to eat them.
When Song Xi pounced on him and grabbed his arm, a faint fragrance wafted over, making Zhou Yi feel sweet even in the hot summer.
He really wanted to pull his wife into his arms, but he had just returned from outside and was covered in the smell of sweat. Fortunately, he did not stink. Otherwise, his wife would definitely not be willing to be close to him.
Song Xi felt that the breath that sprayed on her neck was very scorching. She quickly let go of Zhou Yi’s arm and moved away slightly. “Brother Yi, rest for a while too!”
Only then did Zhou Yi realize that he had just returned and was covered in dirt. He went to the well and fetched a bucket of water. He poured it directly on his head and immediately felt a chill run down his spine. It was simply too comfortable.
Song Xi was shocked by his actions. Could it be that he bathed like this every day?
Could he be washed clean like this?
Realizing that she was thinking too much, Song Xi quickly turned around and returned to her room. She pressed her chest, wanting to suppress her racing heart.
Song Xi picked up the tea jar and was about to drink the cold water inside when Zhou Yi came. He kept packing up living essentials, looking like he was about to ‘run away from home’.
“Brother Yi, are you going out to camp tonight?” Song Xi’s heart skipped a beat and she was a little flustered. If he left her alone at night, she would be afraid. She missed the bright and bright modern world!
However, no matter how much Song Xi missed that beautiful modern world, she could only endure it because she could not go back to the modern world.
“Wife, I’ll bring you to a good place tonight. I’m packing what we need now.” As Zhou Yi was busy, he turned to look at Song Xi, revealing his white teeth.
Only then did Song Xi relax. With him around, she was not afraid.
Song Xi was looking forward to the ‘camping’ at night. When she was studying in university in the modern era, she had gone to the highland area to camp with her classmates. She could see the night sky from the tent. She did not know what the experience of ‘camping’ in this era would be.
Song Xi thought that they would leave after dinner, but she waited until past ten in the evening before Zhou Yi brought her out.
Zhou Yi originally wanted to carry her on his back, but she rejected him. She was no longer as weak and helpless as she was when she just woke up.
Now, she could lift things that weighed dozens of kilograms. Mountain trekking was just a small matter in her eyes!
However, after walking for an hour on the mountain path in the dark, Song Xi regretted not letting Zhou Yi carry her. She was overconfident. She did not expect that 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 held onto a tree as thick as a bowl. She leaned her shoulder against the tree trunk and panted slightly.
Although the late-night wind was blowing, she was already extremely hot after walking on the mountain path for so long. She wished she could be like Zhou Yi and pour a bucket of well water over her head.
“Wife, we can’t waste any more time. Otherwise, it’ll be bad if they come with the frogs and can’t find us.” Zhou Yi freed his hand and hugged Song Xi’s waist. He continued to walk up the mountain with her.
Sheng Jiahe and them came to their house every morning at around 4:30 a.m., so they had to reach home before 4:00 a.m.
Their stir-fried frog business was booming now, and there were no replicas outside. They naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot to earn more money. Otherwise, what if other villages also made stir-fried frogs and snatched their market?
Song Xi did not expect Zhou Yi to be so strong even though he looked quite thin. He held her with one hand and walked. Even so, Song Xi still hugged Zhou Yi’s neck tightly, afraid that he would drop her.
Even if Zhou Yi had fallen himself, it was impossible for him to let her fall.
Just like that, they walked for another half an hour before Zhou Yi finally stopped. He placed Song Xi down against a tree without blushing, his heart not beating, or breathing heavily.
Zhou Yi’s performance made Song Xi very suspicious. This man must have received some kind of training. Otherwise, he could not be so strong.
Zhou Yi placed the thing in his hand by his feet and bit the flashlight with his teeth. Then, he reached out and moved a thorny bush in front of him away, revealing a cave that was half the height of a person. However, the cave was dark and nothing could be seen.
“Wife, wait for me outside first. I’ll go in and tidy up.” Zhou Yi turned around and reminded Song Xi worriedly. Then, he carried the things he had brought and bent down to walk into the cave.
Song Xi also had a flashlight in her hand. She shone it into the cave from behind Zhou Yi, wanting to see what was inside.
After Zhou Yi entered the cave, he took out a candle and lit it in a few corners of the cave.
Hence, the cave lit up with a warm yellow light. Although it was not as bright as during the day, it was no longer dark.
Zhou Yi arranged everything he had brought and hung the flashlight above his head, shining it on a pool below.
The pool was circular and looked like the mouth of a well, but it was wider and shallower than the mouth of the well. Moreover, the water inside was hot, natural hot water.
“Wife, everything is ready. Come in quickly.” Zhou Yi tidied up everything and came out to pick Song Xi up.
He held Song Xi’s hand excitedly and walked into the cave.
