"What are you doing?"
Ge Xiue’s face imdiately flushed red with embarrassnt.
"Heh heh, I just missed Sister Xiue," said Zhang Xiaoshan with a chuckle. "It’s not easy for us to be alone together. I haven’t had ’that’ for several days, give a chance."
"No, it would be too embarrassing if soone saw us. I... I am a married woman."
"Don’t worry, everyone has run off to Zhang Ercai’s place to watch the excitent. No one will co to the infirmary."
"That?"
Ge Xiue smiled sweetly and, taking Zhang Xiaoshan by the hand, led him to the small bed inside.
Just as Zhang Xiaoshan had said, at this mont, the entire village, n and won, young and old, had gathered at Zhang Ercai’s house. It was a big event in the village; everyone was pondering where a living person could possibly go.
In the sky, dark clouds slowly gathered, foreshadowing an impending storm.
At the sa ti, Zhang Xiaoshan was still blissfully unaware.
Sounds of pleasure emanated from the infirmary.
Ge Xiue was a married woman, yet she lived like a widow.
Ever since she got married, she had been living separately from her husband.
At this age, it was Zhang Xiaoshan who made her feel like a true woman, who let her experience love. She wanted to give back to Zhang Xiaoshan, but she had nothing to her na, only herself. So she could only perform with even more vigor.
An hour later, Ge Xiue straightened her clothes and quietly left the infirmary.
Zhang Xiaoshan lay in bed, fast asleep.
So tired.
He and Ge Xiue did it this ti because he deliberately wanted to comfort her.
This way, she wouldn’t suspect that he and Tao Qian had done anything previously.
Moreover, Ge Xiue needed to be nourished.
This way she would love Zhang Xiaoshan even more and would keep even tighter-lipped.
Having slept till the sun was high in the sky, Zhang Xiaoshan brought so dicine back ho for Shen Xinhe and stopped by for lunch.
When Zhang Xiaoshan got ho, his sister-in-law was busy in the kitchen, so he went to Shen Xinhe’s room and helped her change her dressing.
Lately, Yu Xiuxiu had been bringing als to Shen Xinhe’s room to eat together, and the two of them got along quite well.
Soon, a small square table was set up on Shen Xinhe’s heated brick bed.
Fried dishes and rice.
With her health improving, Shen Xinhe’s appetite was quite good.
Zhang Xiaoshan was exhausted from last night and this morning; the breakfast Ge Xiue had brought him had long been digested, and at this mont, he ate ravenously.
"By the way, Little Shan, did you know the new woman Zhang Ercai found disappeared last night?" asked Yu Xiuxiu casually while eating.
Yu Xiuxiu’s tone was very calm, seemingly not probing but just making a simple statent.
Shen Xinhe, quite shocked, said,
"Disappeared? How can a living person just disappear? Maybe she ran away by herself?"
"No, she couldn’t have escaped from here. Could soone have hidden her away?"
Shen Xinhe, after all, felt empathy due to a shared predicant.
"She’s not in any danger, is she?"
Zhang Xiaoshan, following Shen Xinhe’s words, sighed and said,
"Probably not good. If she’s not found, either she drowned in the river or definitely beca food for the beasts in the back hill."
As he spoke, he sneakily observed his sister-in-law Yu Xiuxiu.
Fortunately, her expression was normal, showing that she wasn’t actually trying to test Zhang Xiaoshan.
This relieved Zhang Xiaoshan greatly.
Hearing this, Shen Xinhe sighed.
"Ah, what a pity for a human life. If only you could have saved her too, Little Shan."
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhang Xiaoshan, who was eating, choked upon hearing this.
"Are you okay?" Yu Xiuxiu asked, concerned.
"I’m fine, just choked a bit. I’ll go to the kitchen to get so water."
Zhang Xiaoshan turned and ran off.
He had just reached the kitchen,
when suddenly the village’s loudspeaker began to blare.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, if you hear this announcent, please co to Zhang Ercai’s house imdiately."
"Zhang Xiaoshan, co to Zhang Ercai’s house right away."
Over and over, the village head’s voice echoed through the loudspeaker.
"This is bad."
A chill went through him, his heart soared.
Zhang Xiaoshan was stupefied.
