C158 (1/2)
The snow on Hokkaido was rather clean, but it rolled a few times in the atmosphere. It was hard to avoid being stained with dirt.
Lu Xunqian had built a temporary distiller out of the things that could be used in the wooden house. He placed the snow in the pot and slowly melted it.
The mushrooms were placed near the fireplace, in a basin. The remaining heat from the fireplace was slowly melting the ice away.
When the snow started boiling, the steam would condense on the lid of the pot and flow into the glass along the jar. Lu Xunqian placed the full glass next to the water jug and poured the water into it.
After almost all the snow had been boiled dry, about half a jar of water had been filled up in the urn.
Not long after he was done cleaning up, Chu Xinxia woke up.
”You haven't slept for long. Aren't you tired?”
Chu Xinxia shook her head, ”I can't sleep well, and I can't sleep at night.”
There was a wind now, howling in the night, and it sounded scary.
If he slept too much during the day, he would not be able to sleep at night. Listening to the sound of the wind outside was indeed scary.
Lu Xunqian put the mushrooms he had harvested aside, ”Make some mushrooms for dinner tonight. It's from my portion of ingredients.” Lu Xu Qian pointed to the mushrooms that he had collected all day, ”They have been kept in the corner all this time. I'm afraid they'll break down if I don't eat them.”
Chu Xinxia nodded and got up to prepare some food.
While Chu Xinxia was busy cleaning up the pots and pans, Lu Xunqian walked to a corner nearby and began breaking the branches he had just found.
The branches had been picked up from the outside with snow on them. When he brought it back, it was a little damp, so he couldn't use it. He had to first melt the ice around the fireplace and dry it before breaking it.
Lu Xu Qian was swinging them one by one, not paying attention at all as he was cut by the small wooden spike. Soon, blood started to drip down.
Because of the blood type problem, Lu Xunqian had always cared a lot about bloodshed. However, for some reason, he was not surprised to see the blood. He just pressed it with his other hand, and when the blood stopped, he actually went back to breaking the branches.
In the evening, when they had finished eating and were warming themselves around the fireplace, Chu Xin Xia saw that there were some wounds on his hand.
”What happened to your hand?”
The wound looked very deep, and along the length of his index finger, from the root to the top, it seemed to have completely cut a hole in the side!
Shocked, Chu Xinxia quickly picked it up to check.
”It's nothing. I accidentally got hurt while burning firewood, I …”
Chu Xin Xia saw that the wound was a little swollen and licked it without thinking!
She didn't have any other thoughts, just that the two of them were here and didn't even have a medical kit. What if the wound was so deep that you got tetanus?
The thought that saliva could be sterilized made her mouth go straight to her mouth.
Her soft lips were warm as she licked the wound. It was a little painful, a little hot. It was unknown if it had been roasted by the fire in the fireplace, or if Lu Xu Qian had lit a fire in his heart and was actually sweating a little.
Only after Chu Xinxia had licked the wound carefully and made sure that all the filth had been cleaned up did she put Lu Xu Qian's hand down.
Raising his head, he saw Wu Zhangkong staring at him with eyes as dark and unfathomable as spring water.
”You, what happened to you …” Chu Xinxia couldn't help but take a step back, but she was then held by Lu Xu Qian and kissed with her head lowered!
Her lips were soft and supple, with a faint smell of blood.
The two of them had clearly lived together for so long, but she was just like a little girl who didn't understand the affairs of the world. She always carried a shyness and retreated, making him love her even more. Little by little, she held her lips, constantly twirling them, causing her to breathe heavily.
It was unknown when the two of them had forgotten their love, but Lu Xu Qian had actually completely unbuttoned Chu Xin Xia's clothes.
Ever since Lu Xunqian had parted ways with Chu Xinxia, he had lived the life of a monk. It was even more impossible for Chu Xinxia to find a man, the two of them seemed to have been restrained for a long time.
When the gate opened up, the two of them couldn't help but shiver.
Watching Chuxin Xia's eyes gradually became a layer of white mist, like grievance, yet also like desire.
Lu Xunqian slowly tossed and turned, occasionally teasing Chu Xinxia. Chu Xin Xia bit her lips, as if she didn't dare to make a sound.
He was slow, but he also had an indescribable domineering aura.
