“Snake! Snake!” she cried flurriedly with her voice trembling.
“Where is the snake?” the person said. His voice is low and coarse.
It actually Xiao Baoshan.
Ye Xiaoxian was somehow calmed down once she heard his voice.
“But I touched…touched it just now!” said Ye Xiaoxian.
“This one, you mean?”
Under the moonlight, Xiao Baoshan hold a round seaweed in his hand.
“But it just moved!” Ye Xiaoxian still held Xiao Baoshan with loosening her hands.
“It’s because the water flow makes it move!” explained Xiao Baoshan.
“Is it…”
“If you don’t believe me, feel it yourself and see does it feel the same as the one you touched?”
Ye Xiaoxian spared one hand to touch that seaweed which felt like kelp, very slippery. It felt indeed like the “snake” she just touched.
It turned out that she was too sensitive.
When her hearted stopped thumping, Ye Xiaoxian then found herself hold Xiao Baoshan really tight with one hand holding his neck and her legs squeezing in his hips and she felt that his chest was so firm.
Uh…Ye Xiaoxian blushed right away, let him go hurriedly and said, “Then, then I’ll go back first!”
Xiao Baoshan made a “mhmm” noise.
Ye Xiaoxian was walking in the water swiftly but the water had reached her chest so she couldn’t walk too fast. She tried to walked a few steps but she was almost just treading water, so she dived in again to swim back.
She was in the downstream of the river but the river water, not like the still water in swimming water, has resistance force and after she swam for a while, she thought that she had swarm far but when she turned around, she found Xiao Baoshan still standing nearby.
He was still standing under the moonlight and staring at her. Ye Xiaoxian blushed slightly and dived into the river flurriedly once again.
She took a lot of effort to swim back to Li Hongmei and Li Hongmei laughed and teased her, “Little Ye, well done. You just hugged Baoshan like that.”
“…” Ye Xiaoxian was rendered to be speechless. I was almost scared to death, ok?
…
The second household was still bathing in the river and the other two households began to take actions too.
They felt so sulky as they did not have a bite of the pork leg during dinner. Wong Mudan came to Chen Ju while they were washing the bowls after dinner.
“Third Sister-in-law, you’ve seen those chunks of pork leg Pa ate, right?”
“I saw them alright. Why?” asked Chen Ju.
“Tut-tut, they were so well-cooked and must have been glazed by sugar. Shame that we didn’t even get the chance of even tasting the juice!” said Wong Mudan sullenly.
Chen Ju added, “I hope that Pa will buy one sometime when he feels like eating pork leg and then we can have it.”
“Huh, you depend on him? Even if he buys some, you and me can’t have much to eat!” Wong Mudan replied sulkily.
Chen Ju found Wong Mudan quite right.
Old Mr. Xiao was lazy and sexist. He despised women the most. When they sometimes bought pork bones or meat, Old Mr. Xiao would always fill his own bowl with the dish and then his sons and grandsons share another bowl; what left for her daughter-in-laws were nothing but residues.
Wong Mudan sighed while washing the dishes, “I really wanted to have a bite of their pork leg. Some juice will do.”
Chen Ju sighed, “Me, too. I’m so craving for some.”
A bright idea occurred to Wong Mudan, “Third Sister-in-law. I doubt that they had a whole pork leg for one meal. Maybe they’ll save some for tomorrow, won’t they?”
Chen Ju now understood. “Elder Sister-in-law, you mean…we go and steal some to eat?”
“Don’t put it this way. We’re just going to taste some. All of them seem to have gone to the riverside to take a bath. Shall we…”
Chen Ju’s stomach was rumbling hearing what Wong Mudan said and she swallowed, “Let’s go to…have a taste then.”
