Chapter 472: Taboo!
Ye Shu was so shocked that he was stunned!
Where is this!
This is in the mines! In a tent!
How many pairs of eyes outside are staring at them right now!
What is he going to do? !
However, she was overthinking it. Huo Yisheng just held her in his arms, sat her on a low stool, then quickly wiped her body with a hot towel and put on clean clothes for her.
He also rubbed her hands and feet. He was very strong and his movements were very fast, so in a short while, her body was warm.
Huo Yisheng felt that his wife must have suffered a lot after soaking in the water all day, so even though she wore his clothes again tonight, he was calm at this moment, without any distractions at all.
He even used his arms and legs to hold her while she slept to keep her warm, because he felt the temperature tonight was a little colder than last night.
This is the bad thing about remote areas: the temperature difference between day and night is large, the climate is harsh, and it is not friendly to people at all!
Ye Shu: “…”
She was completely confused by him, so she gently pushed him and asked, "Are we going to sleep now?"
Huo Yisheng: "It's okay, if you don't want to sleep, I'll talk to you."
Ye Shu: "But I'm hungry. I haven't eaten for a whole day!"
Huo Yisheng suddenly realized, yes!
My wife hasn't eaten for a day!
What is he thinking about? He even forgot this!
So he quickly got up, tucked the quilt around Ye Shu, and put another thin blanket on top of it. "Don't come out. I'll go to the kitchen and get something to eat. What do you want to eat?"
Ye Shu thought for a moment and said, "Let's see what's available. Porridge or noodles will be fine."
Huo Yisheng understood what she meant, nodded, and went out of the tent to the kitchen.
Actually, it was just for show. After all, the two of them hadn't eaten for a whole day. They were tired and didn't eat anything, so they just went to sleep? It's unrealistic to think about it!
Yes, it was only at this moment that Huo Yisheng remembered that he had not eaten for a whole day.
In the kitchen, Mrs. Jin and Yang Huimin were both there. Knowing that they would need to eat later, they came to the kitchen in advance to prepare.
Seeing him coming, Sister Jin smiled and said, "I made porridge for you, stir-fried wild vegetables with bacon, and steamed buns. Let's make more if you want anything else."
Huo Yisheng: "That's enough."
He took out two lunch boxes, packed the food in them, said thank you, and returned to the tent.
Watching his departing figure, Mrs. Jin couldn't help but sigh: "See, our Captain Huo still loves his wife!"
"But it's Comrade Ye Shu who's really capable! If it were anyone else, who could swim in the underground river for a whole day?"
Yang Huimin cleaned the kitchen with her and teased her, "You talk as if your husband, Ren, doesn't love you. But I know..."
When Jin's wife heard that her words were not right, she quickly changed the subject:
"Hey, the wild vegetables we picked today are so tender! Let's go dig some more tomorrow. There are also mushrooms. They should all be edible tomorrow. Let's bring back more!"
Yang Huimin knew that she was embarrassed and smiled ambiguously.
Mrs. Jin was annoyed by her laughter and wanted to expose her husband's daily love for his wife, so the two of them glared at each other and signaled them to shut up!
Back in the tent, Ye Shu took out clean underwear from the space bag and put on tight-fitting autumn clothes while Huo Yisheng was out.
It's indeed a few degrees lower tonight than last night. It's really cold to sleep without wearing long underwear.
Moreover, the quilt was not thick enough. Ye Shu thought about it and simply took out a thick quilt from the space bag to cover himself.
When Huo Yisheng came in, she had already put on her little cotton-padded jacket and was sitting there obediently waiting for dinner!
He put down the lunch box, locked the tent curtain, and lowered the second layer of curtain, so that he could completely block out the view from outside.
When he turned around again, Ye Shu had already taken out a series of delicious food.
For example, stewed beef, braised yellow croaker, white rice and white bread buns with shredded radish and meat filling.
His young wife, with cheeks puffed with eagerness, called out to him, "Come and eat! I'm starving!"
The two were really hungry. Not only did they eat up all the rice porridge that Huo Yisheng brought from the kitchen, but they also devoured all the wild vegetables and the two large meat dishes that Ye Shu brought out.
They also ate a lot of rice and white bread, but neither of them ate the mixed flour buns, which were put away by Ye Shu.
After eating, Huo Yisheng cleaned the table and took the lunch box out to wash.
Ye Shu began to draw a topographic map of groundwater.
When Huo Yisheng walked towards the kitchen, he passed by a slope and heard someone muttering:
"I heard Captain Huo's wife went down to survey the terrain today? Is that true? Our expert team hasn't moved. What good could a woman like her do down there?"
"If you ask me, women shouldn't go down into the mines! It's taboo! Think about it, what happened yesterday before the mine flooded with groundwater?"
"What is it?"
"Mr. Zhao's lover has gone down into the mine!"
"Oh--"
"I've said it before, going down into mines and other such things is taboo. Women are not allowed to go down there. I said it, but no one listened. You all didn't listen to me! Look, something's wrong! And now another woman has gone down there! Ugh! What a sin!"
"No, I heard that Captain Huo's wife is very good at swimming. It seems that she went to survey the groundwater topography for us."
Someone immediately scoffed at him, "You believe that? She's just a woman, how could she be so capable? I'll tear my head off and let you kick it around like a ball!"
The miners were talking excitedly when they suddenly felt a gust of cold air around them.
When they turned around together, they saw Huo Yisheng's expressionless and cold face.
Several people stood up immediately in fear: "Captain Huo, Captain Huo!"
Those who were gossiping and chatting happily before are now stuttering.
Although they were not Huo Yisheng's soldiers, they had also experienced how powerful he was.
At that moment, they all thought he was going to lose his temper!
Because they actually dared to criticize his wife behind her back!
Everyone has seen how much he dotes on his wife!
At this moment, several people felt a little regretful!
You shouldn't speak rashly, and you shouldn't talk without paying attention to your surroundings!
Huo Yisheng asked: "Say your name!"
Several people shuddered. Look, look, he's going to get angry!
But do they dare not say the name?
dare not!
Just as they were waiting to be punished, they unexpectedly saw Huo Yisheng turn around and leave.
Several people looked at each other in confusion: "What do you mean? Is it over already?"
"I think so. Didn't he leave?"
"Do you feel a chill down your spine? I feel like he's holding back a big move."
"Hiss—no way? You're going to kill us just for a few words?"
