Hot Spring

Chen Wei’er nodded again. The expression on her face also turned respectful. She did not expect He Xun would undergo such an experience. In her mind, He Xun was a pampered noble son.

“Did you learn how to start a fire using animal blood in the army?”

“Back then, we trained in deep mountains and forests. We encountered venomous snakes attacking us. Over time, we drained the blood of the captured snakes and used it as fuel.”

He casually spoke, but Chen Wei’er felt that it was a treacherous situation.

At this time, He Xun had already plucked the feathers and carried the pheasant into the cave.

Chen Wei’er followed closely behind. Like a little tail, she followed wherever He Xun went. Realizing this, He Xun could not help but curl the corners of his lips.

‘How cute!’

The two of them experienced this kind of life far away from people. It was also good for him to get to know Chen Wei’er whom he had never properly met before. Thinking of this, He Xun’s footsteps became light.

Chen Wei’er was focused on He Xun. She suddenly felt compelled to look at him. Somehow, it seemed impossible to ignore him.

When they walked into the cave, Chen Wei’er realized that the air inside was getting increasingly humid.

Chen Wei’er asked with a trembling voice.

“You… Where are you going?” Chen Wei’er was a little scared.

He Xun slowed down his pace and wanted to bring her forward, but when he thought of the scent of pheasant on his body, he restrained himself and stayed away from her. He took two steps away from her and comforted her in a calm tone.

“There is a flowing spring inside. I want to wash the pheasant.”

“Is it the water that I just drank?” The eyes of Chen Wei’er flickered.

He Xun nodded. “What’s wrong? Is the water not good?”

“No! It’s too delicious! I’ve never drunk such sweet mountain spring water before!” Chen Wei’er replied excitedly.

Hearing his wife’s words, He Xun heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that she liked it, he was greatly satisfied.

“Once Ma Qiang and the others come to pick us up, we’ll bring some back.”

As they conversed, the two of them had already reached the side of the spring.

The smooth rocks were clearly visible underwater. He Xun chose the spring water with the smallest diversion and soaked the pheasant in it. This was to prevent the unpleasant smell from polluting most of the spring water.

Chen Wei’er was also curiously looking around. She dipped her hand in the spring water and felt the water flowing over her skin. It was a new experience for her.

The corners of He Xun’s mouth rose. Looking at her childlike behavior, he was in a good mood.

As she played, Chen Wei’er raised her head and glanced around…

“What’s that?” Her eyes widened, and she shouted, “Look! What’s that?”

There was a pool of clean water in a large crater in the distance. The layer of mist on the water was eye-catching.

He Xun looked in the direction Chen Wei’er was pointing and could not help but be a little surprised.

“It should be a hot spring!”

“Hot spring?” Their luck was too good!

He Xun nodded. “I’ll roast the pheasant in a while. You can soak in the spring.”

Yesterday, Chen Wei’er jumped out of the car. Other than the injury on the back of her head, there were also several bruises on her body. Hot springs were a good way to promote blood circulation!

Chen Wei’er was incredibly happy when she heard that she could soak in the hot spring. Her gaze never left the hot spring.

Even when He Xun wanted to return to deal with the pheasant, she did not pay attention to him. She even urged him. “Can you hurry up? I want to go to the hot spring soon.”

He Xun laughed involuntarily. “Alright, I’ll be right back. Don’t go alone!”

The stone under their feet was round and slippery. Chen Wei’er might fall into the spring water if she was not careful.

“I’m right here!” Chen Wei’er nodded obediently.

He Xun looked at her behavior and immediately did not want to leave. Thinking of her stomach growling, he could only carry the washed pheasant back to the hole and cook. He used the method of treating the beggar’s chicken so that he did not have to keep watching.

About twenty minutes later, He Xun rushed back to find Chen Wei’er.

After He Xun returned, he saw Chen Wei’er squatting obediently by the spring water without moving at all. He could not help but smile.

His baby was so obedient!

He Xun strode over and squatted down beside Chen Wei’er. He used the spring water to wash the mud off his hands.

When Chen Wei’er heard the footsteps, she turned to look at him. When she saw the mud on his hand, she was a little puzzled.

“Why are your hands so dirty?”

“Isn’t it because I have to cook for a certain gluttonous cat?” He Xun replied with a smile.
