Chapter 3 Water

Seeing her so well-behaved, Village Chief Liu was even more happy with her. Seeing the sweat dripping from her cheeks, he handed over the sweat towel hanging beside him: "Wipe the sweat, it's almost wet the sweat of the clothes."

But before Tong Shan could take it, A Dan, who came out of the house, saw this, quickly stepped forward and snatched the sweat towel, pointed at it, "You have wiped this sweat towel and you are so embarrassed to give it to others. You don't mind people and you still feel that it smells bad." Then he took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and sent it to the woman: "Come on, use this to wipe the sweat, this piece is clean."

In fact, Tong Shan didn't mind just wiping his sweat. Instead, she was embarrassed to use this piece too clean, so she raised her sleeves and wiped it randomly on her forehead.

"Hey, you kid!" Adam couldn't stop crying.

Tong Shanhan smiled twice and scratched the back of his head: "Your handkerchief is clean, it would be a pity to get it dirty for me."

The more this happened, the more likable it became. Adan chuckled, took back the hand of the handkerchief, took the deed out of the wooden box and handed it to her.

"Tongshan, this is your house deed. Remember to keep it in good condition when you take it back." Village Chief Liu lay on the rocking chair and said slowly to her.

"Well! I know the village chief!" Tong Shan wiped his palm on his clothes, and took the deed with treasure.

When she came back with the deed, Guan had already sorted out the house.

At this time, he was wiping the table with a basin of water. He heard a sound from the door. He turned around and looked: "Why have you been there for so long?" He was so idle that he had already cleaned up the house.

"I had a conversation at the village chief's house." Tong Shan walked into the yard and handed him the house deed in his hand: "I have settled the house to the village chief, Dad, let's take it for you."

Guan quickly stood up, wiped his clothes with both hands, carefully took the deed from her hand, and couldn't stop talking: "Why did you take it back like this? Don't you know if you wrap it with something? What if it gets dirty and broken?"

As he said that, he gently wiped the dust that did not exist on it.

Tong Shan pursed his lips and whispered: "I'm careful to take it."

Guan ignored her murmurs and took out a small handkerchief and carefully wrapped the deed, and walked back to the room to collect it as if he was treating a baby.

The look of looking around carefully, I thought I had seen a thief if I didn't know.

She had long been used to his appearance, and he could feel distressed for a long time when he bumped into something that was a little expensive.

Tong Shan sighed helplessly, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by the basin of water on the table. He frowned and asked Guan, who was walking out of the bedroom with confusion: "Dad, where did you get this water?"

Could it be that he was too idle just now to go out to find the water source?

Guan was holding a dusty wooden box in his hand, and glanced at the water basin with disregard. "That, that water was borrowed from the next house." As he said that, he complained to her again: "I've been waiting for you for a long time but didn't come back, so I just went to the next door to borrow first."

Can this be borrowed?

Tong Shan scratched his head, and he had to accept her father's shamelessness and the sloppyness of visiting her family.

The wooden box was placed on the wooden table in the yard. Guan slapped the dust on it with his hand, and opened it with a slight movement of his long finger.

Tongshan leaned over curiously: "What is this?"

"I don't know, I just found it in the corner of the room." Guan took away the rag covering the surface inside, and there were some dusty books inside. Guan's eyes, which were still somewhat anticipated, suddenly disliked: "Why are you a baby?"

He threw it aside with disgust, picked up the wet cloth beside him and continued to wipe the table, and asked Tong Shan beside him: "Did you ask about the water-fetching ground?"

"I asked." Tong Shan flipped through the old books randomly, and she couldn't recognize the dense words inside.

"Then you go and pick up some water soon. There is still a lot of things to do, but it will be dark."

"Oh, I'll go now." She put the book in a wooden box and closed it, picked up the shoulder pole beside her and carried two wooden barrels and went out.

Tongshan looked for the route the village chief told her. He was still a little short of finding the wrong way, so he was not far away. He finally found the place with the faint sound of water.

A wide river is surrounded by dense forests, and the river surface is sparkling, and under the rays of the sun, it seems to be coated with a layer of golden sand.

Extremely clear.

Tongshan carried a wooden barrel closer, but saw someone sitting by the river. Because she was facing the back of someone, she couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but she should be a man in terms of his figure.

It seems that he is washing clothes.

She walked around the upper circumference of the river, and stopped after confirming that she was a distance from the man, put the wooden barrel aside, and Tong Shan squatted down and immediately scooped water to wash his arms.

The cold river water touched the skin and made her shudder. She breathed comfortably. Tong Shan lowered her body and washed her face. She didn't squat on one knee and straightened up when she felt the heat completely subsided.

He picked up the wooden barrel beside him and flew two buckets of water. He picked it up and was about to leave. But after just two steps, he suddenly heard a soft cry from behind.

I paused slightly at the foot of the Tongshan Mountain and looked back, but I saw that the man who had just washed his clothes had already stood up and was looking at the clothes floating away from the river with a look of eagerness.

She put down the bucket and walked over a few big strides, and rushed into the water and picked up the distant clothes. The river water that she thought was not deep had reached her thighs!

After getting on the shore, Tongshan was silent and handed the clothes to the man, his eyes unnaturally glanced aside, and he didn't look at the man's face until then.

My father said that we should not look at the man’s face indiscriminately, otherwise it would cause misunderstandings.

"Thanks......"

The gentle voice made Tong Shan’s gaze, which had nowhere to go, shifted to his face.

The man in front of him was only a few steps away from her, and he looked like a 10-year-old. His facial features were not very outstanding, but the gentleness and delicateness between his eyebrows were just right, making him softer and more attractive. Apart from his thin body and a white-washed long gown, looking at his face and the elegant surroundings like this is not like those living in the village.

Just staring at the lost Tongshan, he quickly lowered his head when he reacted, and the conditioned reflex was apologizing: "Yes, I'm sorry..."

As soon as the words were said, they were filled with a chuckle. Jiang Huaiqing took his clothes from the woman and said softly: "Why did the girl apologize? I want to thank you."

Seeing that the man had already taken back his clothes, Tong Shan nodded at him randomly, and hurriedly picked up the bucket and wanted to leave. However, before he could take two steps, he was stopped by the person behind: "Miss, have you just moved to the village? Look at him."

"Yes." Tong Shan turned his back to him and replied heavily.

Jiang Huaiqing put the washed clothes in the basket and said to her: "I have washed my clothes too, so why not go with me."

In this world, a man in such a rude way to invite a strange woman has lost the kindness and reserve that a man should have. If he asks others to look at him, he will definitely be despised.

Tong Shan didn't think too much. She only knew that there seemed to be something wrong with this. She immediately pulled Guan out with a hurry: "I, my father called me back quickly!" After that, she left quickly, and the two buckets of water were no weight to her.

The man stood there and looked at the woman's hurried back, and the smile in his eyes became deeper.

Tong Shan, who had half of his body carrying water, was told by Guan Shi as soon as he returned home.

Guan took out her clean clothes and hurriedly asked her to change into it: "Why did you ask you to get some water and you took a shower?"

Tong Shan pursed his lips, but he couldn't tell truthfully that she was helping the man pick up his clothes before he drifted into the water. In order to avoid Guan's preaching after he learned about it, he had to stammer and say that he accidentally fell into the water.

Although her lying expression was extremely unnatural, fortunately, Guan was busy and didn't think too much about anything else, so she just wanted to change her clothes as soon as possible.

One night they went to bed early, and they lay on the simple bed in Tongshan. The new environment did not affect her. Instead, the endless cicadas and crickets outside the house made people feel more comfortable.

Tong Shan yawned, and the fatigue and sleepiness of the whole day came. After turning over, he fell asleep.
