C38 (1/2)

It was 15 years old, and the moon was round.

A golden full moon hung in the ink-black sky. The river of stars was vast, and the wind was cold and still.

Not long after Su Zhi left the camp, she was pulled into the shadows by Xiao Qian once again.

Outside, it was dark and he could not see anything. Su Zhi met his deep eyes.

Xiao Qian looked at her, confused. ”Are you angry at me because of A Jin?”

Su Zhi was speechless. How fresh was it? Is this man stupid? She had been sulking alone for several days, but he finally understood today?

”This humble woman doesn't dare.” The woman forcefully answered.

”You do.”

”Nope.”

Xiao Qian looked at her seriously. His clear eyes were like clear water, filled with innocence.

”I will teach him my life's work. As long as he is willing to learn, I will definitely be a strict teacher.”

Su Zhi: ”…”

As expected, he still didn't understand where her dot was!

”You, it's not that I don't think you taught him well …”

Instead, he taught them to be too strict. Which mother didn't feel sorry for her child and would come back every day tired like a pug? How could such a small child endure all of this?

”Forget it, I'm going back to sleep.”

Su Zhi struggled free of his shackles and wanted to return.

Xiao Qian pulled her back and pointed towards the back of the mountain. ”Tonight, I'll send you over there. A Jin said that you haven't slept well these few days. You're not like us men; no matter how dirty or smelly your bed is, it's still tolerable. Your job is not that easy. If you don't rest well, you'll collapse.”

Su Zhi nodded slightly, thanking him for his good intentions.

His attitude was very sincere, and if he continued to embarrass himself, he would appear to be ignorant.

”I'll wait for you on the other side of the road.”

Su Zhi nodded and hurried back into the tent to get a kerosene lamp.

Last time, he couldn't see the road clearly, so he twisted his leg and almost stepped on the snake. The lighting effect of the kerosene lamp wasn't that good, but it was still better than nothing.

The woman took the lamp, and after confirming that the two children had no signs of awakening, she left the tent.

He hadn't left for several days. The gatekeeper was a little surprised to see Su Zhi today. ”Sister-in-law is going out?”

”That's right, I'll have to trouble you to help me open the door.”

The little general nodded, opened the door, and kindly reminded, ”Sister-in-law, be careful. There are ferocious beasts around tonight. You must be very careful.”

Su Zhi laughed.

What are you afraid of? With the protection of your general.

Tonight, the wind was somewhat strong. It was unknown if it was because she had not gone out for a few days, but her heart was always somewhat frantic.

The woman made her way up the hill by the faint light of the kerosene lamp.

When they were almost to the mountain trail in front of them, they looked around for a familiar figure.

Under the moonlight, she could see Xiao Qian waiting for her on top of the hill. The night wind lifted up the corner of the man's clothes, and under the cover of night, the man looked like an immortal.

”I've kept the general waiting.”

Xiao Qian nodded at her as they walked along the small mountain path.

Along the way, the two of them did not talk much. Su Zhi felt that the atmosphere was a little strange. She wanted to speak up a few times to break the silence, but did not know what to say.

Soon, they arrived at the hot spring pool.

After Xiao Qian had checked the safety of the surroundings, she indicated to Su Zhi that she could start moving.

The wind was strong tonight, and the moment the woman took off her clothes, she clearly felt a chill, so she couldn't help but let out a soft moan. A soft voice accurately entered Xiao Qian's ears.

”What's wrong?”
