In Love - Chapter 14

After walking for a while in the heavy snow, they came to the vicinity of Qiongnan City.

It wasn’t dark yet, if they are willing to continue their journey and walk for another two hours against the darkness, they can reach Qiongnan City tonight.

However, Su Moxiu didn’t move forward, but settled in a small town instead.

Although he patted his chest in front of Yan Jingze and said that he would definitely be able to handle his father, he was still somewhat anxious.

Then…they will go back tomorrow!

Although the place where Su Moxiu and the others settled was called a small town, it wasn’t actually a town. It was just that a few families built their houses together and they still sold things like oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and also fabrics here. The surrounding villagers often came here to buy things so it gradually became popular and became known as a town.

During the Chinese New Year, people from the surrounding villagers often come here to buy things.

Since the bandits in Mount Qiong were swept away, and many Zhenbei Army soldiers have married and had children near Qiongnan City, such small towns and various villages have gradually increased.

When Su Moxiu arrived here, he rented a house for them to live in, and bought a lot of food to eat together.

Along the way, as long as they have the opportunity, they will go hunting, and also dig some wild vegetables or something, plus the rest of the horse feed. They barely have their fill of water, that means……they were often hungry after urinating.

Now they can finally have a good meal!

There is a shortage of iron at the border, so many farmers do not have iron pots at home. They usually grind various grains into powder and cook them in earthen pots, or cook them directly without grinding.

The family that Su Moxiu rented didn’t have an iron pot, but luckily they brought a pot.

There are many people in this family. There are four rooms in total, three of which are built with kang, and the remaining one has a circular stove in the middle, which is used for cooking and heating during the day.

They took off the earthenware pot on the stove, put the iron pot they brought in, and threw in the mixed grain powder, then what they just bought—— pickles and bacon. Finally, they dug a large spoonful of lard and put it into it. The cooking pot was full.

The bacon was quickly cooked and ready to eat. Everyone ate it cleanly, and then hurriedly cooked another pot and ate another bowl…

After eating two bowls in a row, everyone felt that their stomachs were full and they had strength.

At this time, Cai An called someone to kill the sheep and prepare to cook it in a wok — they also bought a sheep. It’s just that killing and cooking the sheep is slower so they didn’t eat it first.

“Jiu Jiu, you don’t need to worry about killing the sheep, you go and feed the horses! As for you, go add some more firewood to the kang in the room! By the way, after you finish your work, clean up yourselves, clean up yourself! We will go back to Qiongnan City tomorrow, don’t look all dirty!” Cai An shouted loudly.

He is a scholar, he can’t stand these people’s untidy appearance!

“Where were we dirty. As a matter of fact, aren’t we very good…” Zhang Erque muttered.

Cai An was speechless: “You all stink!”

Zhang Erque said, “This is called manly! Manly!”

Although he shouted that he was manly, Zhang Erque went out anyway, intending to wipe his armpits, and then take his leather coat into the snow and threw it a few times to clean it up.

He could also wash his hands and face. This is not troublesome, he just has to get some snow and take it into the house to melt it then use it to wipe it off.

Everyone was busy, and at this moment, Su Moxiu was out.

After he arrived in town, in addition to shopping, he also gave some money to his neighbors to help them boil water.

At this moment, he brought back two buckets of hot water to give Yan Jingze a bath.

Of course, he has to wash himself too.

Taking a bath in the winter is very inconvenient. Ordinary farmers don’t have a bath tub yet, so though Su Moxiu and Yan Jingze said that they were taking a bath, they will just actually scrub their bodies in the room where the kang was warming.

He had slept in the same room with Yan Jingze before, so this time Su Moxiu boldly asked for a separate room to sleep with Yan Jingze.

This house is quite small. It was newly built by the farmer for his son to marry a wife to live in. Because of its small size, it is very warm after lighting up the fire.

Seeing that Su Moxiu came back with hot water, Yan Jingze, who was waiting in the room, took out a basin and filled it with the hot water and began to undress.

Su Moxiu: “!!!” Yan Jingze took off his clothes in front of him!

Even if this is done, Yan Jing still smiled and looked at him, pulled off his clothes and asked, “Would you like to wash together?”

Su Moxiu covered his nose: “I still have hot water that I haven’t brought back…I’ll go bring it.”

After he finished speaking, he quickly ran away. When he went to the farmer to fetch the water, he was a little dazed.

When he came back with two more buckets of water…Su Moxiu stood in front of the door, wondering if he should go in or not.

He doesn’t know if Yan Jingze has already washed. If he goes in at this time, will he see anything?

Wait. He seems to look forward to it a bit, he really wants to go in…

What is this?

Su Moxiu resisted the urge to push the door, he was a little annoyed – he didn’t expect himself to be such a lecherous person!

“Why don’t you come in?” The door suddenly opened, Yan Jingze looked at Su Moxiu with a smile.

When Su Moxiu saw that Yan Jingze was wearing clothes, he breathed a sigh of relief. Pushing the door in, after he entered, he found…Yan Jingze actually just put on one piece of clothes loosely.

His robe was open and he wasn’t wearing a trouser!

Su Moxiu froze.

Yan Jingze laughed. He lowered his head and blew at Su Moxiu’s neck: “Don’t worry, you still have to eat the mutton, I won’t do anything to you.” He said, then leaned over to kiss Su Moxiu again.

Su Moxiu: “…”

He also said this is ‘won’t do anything’?

Shouldn’t Yan Jingze be worried about what he will do to Yan Jingze? Why does he keep reassuring him that nothing will be done to him?

Su Moxiu was confused. His face became more and more red, and his mind was chaotic.

Yan Jingze stopped teasing him, and said sternly, “I will just wash my feet, you can use it.”

Yan Jingze had taken the opportunity to wash several times when he was in the Rong before – if he didn’t wash, the bloody smell on his body would definitely arouse suspicion!

Therefore, his body should not be considered so dirty that he needs to wash it, he should just soak his feet more.

Yan Jingze had no plans to leave the room at all. He started to wash his feet calmly. Su Moxiu was a little overwhelmed when he saw this.

So, Yan Jingze wants him to wipe his body in front of him?

This…this…

Su Moxiu didn’t dare to move.

Yan Jingze smiled: “Little General, are you shy? You don’t dare to wash in front of me?”

Su Moxiu: “…No!”

Yan Jingze is not shy, why should he be so shy?!

He is a grown man, is he still afraid of others seeing him?

Thinking of this, Su Moxiu started to undress calmly, but his hands were shaking a little for some unknown reason.

Shaking and shaking, he suddenly thought of something that was not quite right.

Although he was embarrassed to look at Yan Jingze’s body, just now…

He didn’t have time to hide just now so he accidentally saw it!

As far as he could see, Yan Jing had many wounds on his body, and those wounds were almost all caused by sharp weapons.

The Rong people abuse people and directly use weapons against them?

There are even scars left after being shot by an arrow and gouging out the tip of the arrow.

Su Moxiu had solved many cases, he quickly thought of some doubtful things.

For example, Yan Jingze is not only tall, but also very thick and not light in weight.

Is he really being abused by the Rong?

With all kinds of doubts gathered together, Su Moxiu suddenly thought of something…

“AZiu, you are in such a good shape.” Yan Jingze’s voice suddenly sounded.

Su Moxiu’s mind went ‘bang’, he couldn’t think or care about anything for a moment.

Yan Jingze and Su Moxiu were the most particular and took the longest to wash.

When they returned to the place where everyone was eating after washing, the mutton in the pot was already cooked. Cai An was holding a wooden spoon and was seasoning it.

“Old Cai, I didn’t expect your cooking skills to be so good!” Zhang Erque was moved when he smelled the fragrant mutton scent.

“So-so,” Old Cai waved his hand and took a sip of the soup with the wooden spoon, “It’s done, you can start eating!”

Old Cai first divided the meat in the pot, then those big men all threw the remaining mutton slices down. When it was cooked, they fish it out and eat it.

This is similar to eating hot pot, but unfortunately there are no dipping sauces and chili peppers. Besides…a dozen people eat hot pot, it’s a bit too crowded.

Yan Jingze desires good food, he doesn’t pay much attention. Seeing that everyone was rushing to eat, he didn’t go grab it, but he soon had two pieces of meat in his bowl, both of which Su Moxiu grabbed for him.

Yan Jingze smiled and ate it.

“Fuck!” Zhang Erque suddenly envied this little white face.

It’s really good to eat soft rice! Look, Yan Jing doesn’t have to do anything, someone will still put the meat in his bowl!

Do good-looking people get so many advantages? Zhang Erque was a little jealous looking at Yan Jingze.

After looking at him, Zhang Erque suddenly felt that Yan Jingze’s appearance was not right, so he couldn’t help saying: “Yan Jingze, your beard is a little too much, right?”

It has only been a few days, but this man already has a lot of stubble on his face, he now looks a lot rougher.

Second young master…taste is quite heavy.

“It’s okay, I’ll shave it later.” Yan Jingze touched his beard and said.

If this beard is allowed to grow… it will be a little troublesome for him to enter Qiongnan City.

It might be possible for someone to recognize him!

“You ought to shave it. You’re relying on your face to eat!” Zhang Erque said sourly.

“Yes,” Yan Jingze ate a piece of meat, “I am so handsome, I should shave my beard and show my face to others!”

“Are you not embarrassed?” Zhang Erque couldn’t help but complain.

Yan Jingzw said, “What I say is the truth.”

“Yeah, right!” Zhang Erque didn’t take it seriously.

Yan Jingze’s face suddenly turned solemn: “Zhang Erque, do you know me before?”

“I don’t know, what’s wrong?” Zhang Erque asked while grabbing a piece of meat, ignoring Yan Jingze’s question.

Cai An’s heart was raised – General Zhou…is he going to reveal his identity?

As for Su Moxiu, he stopped grabbing the meat and looked at Yan Jingze – he was very curious about what Yan Jingze looked like before.

Yan Jingze said: “If you knew me before, you would be very puzzled on why someone can be so handsome.”

Zhang Erque: “…”

Cai An: “…”

After Yan Jingze finished saying what he had seen on the internet before, he couldn’t hold his expression any longer and laughed.

When he laughed, the others laughed too.

They are all men, and joking like this can actually improve their feelings. Zhang Erque felt that Yan Jingze was much closer to them and slapped Yan Jingze on the shoulder: “Haha! You man, are too good at joking!”

At this time, Su Moxiu said, “What is joking? Isn’t he telling the truth?”

Zhang Erque: “…”

The others: “…”

Second young master, what’s the matter with you! If you clean up yourself, and then recover your face at home for a few months, you will definitely look better than him!

How many girls at the border are crying about wanting to marry you!

There’s no help, their second young master is really hopeless!

Su Moxiu, who was hopeless, robbed a lot of meat for Yan Jingze to eat. After Yan Jingze was full, he started eating it himself, and when he was full…

Su Moxiu looked at Yan Jingze: “Your injury is still not healed, let’s go back to rest early.” This room is not big, and a group of people are crowded together. He isn’t used to it.

Mm, he definitely isn’t used to it because Yan Jingze was always talking and laughing with the others!

“Okay.” Yan Jing got up and walked back with Su Moxiu.

The kang in their room had been laid long ago, and the cloth was made by the farmers themselves. Although it was ugly, the cloth was new.

Su Moxiu entered the room, thinking of the way the two of them took a bath before and couldn’t help blushing again. When Yan Jingze saw him like this, his heart moved. He leaned over and said, “My health is good.”

Su Moxiu: “!!!” Is this Yan Jingze invitation? What does Yan Jingze want to do?!

“Do you want to check?” Yan Jingze said again. He kissed Su Moxiu’s forehead, then kissed his nose and face.

Su Moxiu’s breathing became rapid, he murmured, “You can use your hands…Don’t worry, I will be responsible for you!”

Su Moxiu didn’t know what was going on, then he was taken to the kang while still muddledheaded.

At first, the two of them were just you kissing me and I kissing you, but later…

When Su Moxiu was held down by Yan Jingze, he was stunned: “What are you doing?”

“Bridal room?” Yan Jingze chuckled and kissed Su Moxiu on the mouth again.

“But, but…Didn’t you say you want to be my stronghold madam?” Su Moxiu felt something was wrong.

“The stronghold master’s madam, isn’t that the stronghold madam?” Yan Jingze blocked Su Moxiu’s mouth.

T/N: Poor Xiuxiu. Thinking he found a wife but he actually found a husband.
