Chapter 32 Your Man Is So Thoughtful

to look towards the door.Xia Chui Xue didn't turn back, a slightly awkward smile on her face. She also knew she should leave. Remembering something important at the last minute, she quickly asked.".....The sky churned with dark clouds, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

On a torrential rainy night, several people trekked along the rugged mountain path and finally reached a cave dwelling.

"Our village received a flood relocation notice some time ago, and no one lives there now. The river has risen, and the mountain road you take back is very dangerous because landslides could happen at any time. I'll stay here for the night..."

Thanks to the help of Mr. Mo, a kind villager, they arrived here together and looked at the simple and spacious stone cave dwelling in front of them.

"Is it safe here" Lu Qinnan looked at the howling wind and rain outside, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

This hilltop is mainly granite, very solid. Our cave dwelling here is very sturdy.

Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief. Today's treacherous weather could have easily swept them away in a flash flood.

"Make some more fires and take off your clothes to dry them by the fire." Brother Mo went into the kitchen and brought out a large armful of firewood.

Lu Qinan and the others didn't stand on ceremony. They quickly got to work, dividing the branches into piles and taking off their clammy clothes. Qiao Bao'er saw these men collectively undressing and immediately turned away in embarrassment.

"The pants are all worn!" Junzhi Mu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

Lu Qinan heard his voice and only then remembered that Qiao Bao'er was here. It was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Took off his jacket and shirt, revealing his chest. He was still wearing trousers and sat cross-legged directly in front of the fire, letting the heat dry his damp pants. Being covered in mud like this was really uncomfortable.

"My phone has no signal, I can't contact anyone else."

They were busy building a fire while discussing things, "Yi Sicheng and the others should be looking for shelter from the rain..."

Qiao Bao'er heard the name Yi Sicheng, her expression was a little surprised.

His gaze never left her, and the surprise on her face met his with a certain meaning. Her lips were tightly pressed together, her expression a complex mixture of hidden emotions.

“Just call me Aunt Mo, I have some clean clothes here. Come in and change with me.” After a while, a plain-clothed woman walked out from the inner room. She smiled kindly at Qiao Bao'er.

Jo Baoer nodded at her directly, "Thank you."

Qiao Bao'er was a bit tall at 1.68 meters. She wore this dark blue coarse cotton robe from Aunt Mo, the sleeves and trouser legs were all too short for her, but she didn't care about these things now. After thanking her, she walked out.

"Only Aunt Mo followed her out, looking at her fair wrists and the scars on her ankles, she was shocked. 'How did you get so many wounds Oh my, they've been soaked in water and are festering.'"

As soon as Mo Da-shen finished speaking, Jun Zhi-mu almost instinctively took a step forward.

Jo Baoer happened to look up at him, as if frightened by him, and instinctively took a step back.

When Junzhi Mu saw her like this, his expression became tangled and complex for a moment. He turned his head away and stared at another place, as if he hadn't been looking at her before.

"We have some iodine disinfectant at home, let me get it for you to apply..." Mo Da Aunt ran back to the room to get the disinfectant water and came out to apply it to Qiao Bao'er.

Jo Bao'er's hands and feet were both purple from the iodine after she finished. The disinfectant made her feel a little pain, so she slightly furrowed her brows and endured it without showing too much expression.

There was a small, round clock hanging in the cave. It was only about 7 o'clock in the evening, but outside, there was thunder and heavy rain, making it pitch black.

This rainy night is really hard to bear.

The cave dwelling had little furniture. The main hall only had a few wooden chairs and a round dining table. Soon, Mo's aunt brought out a pot of sweet potato porridge and placed it on the table, warmly entertaining them.

"We're not hungry, you eat yourselves."

Lu Qinan knew this family hadn't prepared dinner for them, and now that they were taking shelter at their place, they couldn't possibly eat their food.

Having thought about it, she looked at Qiao Baier, "By the way, Qiao Baier, you should eat some. You're pregnant, after all."

As soon as Lu Qinan said this, everyone turned to look at her. Mo Da's aunt had just scooped a bowl for her, and Qiao Bao'er was looking at the red bean porridge in front of her with a troubled expression. Now that she was being stared at by so many people, her face became a bit embarrassed.

She doesn't like to eat sweet potato porridge.

"Are you pregnant"

"Mo Dachen, on the other hand, became excited and looked at Qiao Bao'er with burning eyes. "Aiya, you are so thin and frail. How will you give birth to a child in the future You need to eat more to supplement your body,"

Saying that, Mo's aunt ran back into the kitchen, muttering, "I have two more eggs. I'll boil them for you..."

Qiao Baoer was immediately at a loss when she saw her so enthusiastic. She didn't like to eat eggs either and wouldn't take a bite.

Qiao Bao'er really hates her picky eating habit. It was all cultivated when she was a child in the Qiao family. Later, she tried to change it but couldn't.

She ran into the kitchen with an embarrassed expression, "Auntie Mo, I'll have white congee or steamed buns, no need to go through the trouble of making anything else..."

Just as Qiao Bao'er entered the kitchen, Jun Zhimu instructed a few people to get a flashlight and some tools from Brother Mo, then opened the door and walked out.

"Although this downpour is heavy, it might ease up tomorrow morning. There's no need to go out now..."

"What's going on" Mo Dashi and Qiao Baier came out again and saw that a few people had gone out.

"Mo ge sighed, 'I'll go get some food.'"

"With this heavy rain, where could we even go to get food Why don't you try to persuade them It's dangerous out there, what if..." Aunt Mo scolded her husband.

Brother Mo looked helpless, "I can't persuade him." That man surnamed Jun had an air about him that even he was a little intimidated by.

Joe Baoer frowned and looked towards the door, her expression becoming somewhat complicated.

"Whatever he sets his mind to, no one can stop him. Just forget about it," she said cryptically, subtly shifting the blame away from Mo Dagong.

Mo Dachen was a bit worried, seeing Qiao Bao'er's complicated expression. She curiously asked, "Girl, you should all be from the city. I heard they came to find you, why would you come to our remote village"

Come find me

Joe Baoer's expression stiffened for a moment, and she retorted in a low voice, "No." There was no way he could come looking for her.

This cave dwelling had no electricity. A kerosene lamp hung in the center of the simple hall, casting a dim light that made their shadows dance. Several people sat in silence, sipping sweet potato porridge, their eyes filled with worry as they glanced nervously at the door.

How could such a heavy downpour just suddenly disappear...

"These youngsters aren't familiar with the mountain paths, I should go take a look..." Brother Mo couldn't hold back and put on his straw clothes and hat, ready to head out.

Mo Da's aunt looked anxious, she grabbed him and whispered, "It's raining so hard out there with thunder and lightning. You don't have a flashlight, if you trip and fall down the hillside, what am I going to do..."

Qiao Bao'er looked at this simple couple, and she hated Jun Zhimu even more in her heart.

He is such a nuisance! With this heavy rain, he's caused trouble for others and worried them too. Just because he thinks he's special, everyone should cater to him I find him truly annoying.

"Don't overthink it, I know this area very well, everything will be fine." Mo Ge patted his wife's shoulder and pushed the door to go out.

But as soon as the door opened, Junzhi Mu and they returned.

They were all drenched, looking rather disheveled, but they carried a large net in their hands. The net contained over twenty pounds of fish.and his companions were truly amazed.These savages looked much as they had imagined. They were tall and powerfully built, generally over eight feet tall, with bushy beards and fierce features. Their l...
