Chapter 7 About taking a bath

 Because Hutao dug some herbs along the way, the two of them came back very late.

When we arrived at the village chief's house, we couldn't see the road clearly.

The village chief and his family haven't eaten yet, and they are still waiting for them when they know they will come back in the evening.

Ling Yechen didn't know until he went out for a day that the village chief's house was already the cleanest, many times cleaner than what he saw today.

Maybe he was hungry because he ate a little more today than last night.

After dinner, I chatted with the village chief. It was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Thinking that the two of them would have to go out tomorrow, they went to wash up and go to bed.

I still wash myself in the river in front of the house as usual.

Hutao prepared a flashlight when she arrived, and they used the flashlight to wash their faces and feet in the dark.

Hutao was very fast and finished it in a few minutes. Then he stood on the shore with a flashlight to help Ling Yechen with lighting.

Ling Yechen complained: "There's not even a place to take a shower. It's really a ghost."

You can hear that he is a little angry.

When Hutao heard him talking about seeing ghosts, she suddenly felt eerie and a little scared.

There is a secret that only she and her family know. She is particularly afraid of the dark, and usually does not dare to go out alone as soon as it gets dark.

She was scared to stand in an empty and dark place like this. If Ling Yechen hadn't been right next to her and the flashlight had emitted some light, she believed she would have died of fear.

She said weakly: "Are you afraid? Hurry up."

She was urging him. She felt that it took him too long to wash his face. She had never seen a boy take such a long time like him.

In fact, what she didn't know was that Ling Yeshen had already washed himself and was just worrying about taking a bath.

After walking on the mountain road for a day, my body is full of sweat. I really want to take a shower, but I don’t have the conditions.

He has been at the riverside for a long time debating whether to take a shower with the cold water in the river.

Seeing Hu Taocui, he said impatiently: "If you're in a hurry, go back first, I want to take a shower."

Hu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Stop washing, you will catch a cold with such cold water."

Finally, unable to bear his intrusion any longer, Hutao went back to the house first, while Ling Yeshen took a shower in the river, then went back to his car and changed into a set of clothes.

There were walnuts in the house. He was too embarrassed to go inside to change clothes and returned to the car.

He finally understood what the biting cold meant.

It's already summer, and the water is still so cold at night.

A basin of water was poured over him, and the cold made him sober instantly.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the two of them lay down on each other and fell asleep.

Ling Yechen felt that her body had warmed up a lot after entering this room. Because of the fire, it was warm and comfortable inside.

Without the strangeness and embarrassment of last night, the two of them were more casual and started chatting.

Ling Yeshen was the first to speak. He was particularly curious about how she could still sleep after not taking a shower for two nights, so he couldn't help but ask: "Don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't take a shower?"

Hu Tao said: "It's okay, I can bear it for a week."

"What, you're not used to it?"

Ling Yechen nodded and said, "I'm not used to it. It's so dirty if I don't take a shower."

Hu Tao smiled and said: "How can I, a girl, take a shower like you? Anyway, there will definitely be no choice these days. If you feel dirty, just go to sleep in the car."

She was a little rude and her tone was a little bad.

After saying that, she covered her head with the quilt and fell asleep, ignoring him.

Seeing her like this, he stopped talking.

Thinking about it, I was too bored, lying in a room with a strange girl and talking about taking a shower.

It's really boring.

After a good night's sleep, the two of them got up early to continue visiting and working.

It was relatively easy today. I went to several restaurants near the village chief’s house.

The two went through each one, learned about all the children's schooling and family situations, and then selected the families in need of help.

On the third day, the two said goodbye to the village chief and his family and rushed to the next village.

And this village is different from the one I visited two days ago.

The village is built on the mountainside. What makes them most happy is that there is a winding road in the village that can go up directly. Otherwise, they would have to climb the mountain for a whole day.

This place is different from the grassland, with high mountains and deep forests.

All you can see at a glance are mountains.

Each family is hidden in various mountains. It can be said that one family occupies a hilltop.

There was a hotel not long after we entered the mountain. The hotel was a two-story wooden building, and there was a small shop next to it. People in the village called it a small shop.

Cars can only go up here. From here, cars can’t get in. The villagers’ means of transportation are horses and donkeys.

Ling Yechen parked the car without thinking and booked two rooms in the hotel.

The environment here is very poor. There is only one bed and not even a bathroom. There is only a shared bathroom and shower room.

But he felt it was better than nothing. When he was supposed to visit his home, he didn't go out and rested in the hotel.

"You really don't want to go?" Hutao asked standing at his door.

Ling Yechen leaned on the bed, flipping through the phone in his hand, and said without even raising his head: "Have a rest today and set off tomorrow. You haven't showered in a few days and it stinks so much. If you need to wash it, wash it quickly."
He had just taken a shower, and it could be seen that his hair was still wet and his face was a little red from being sunburned in the past two days.

Hu Tao turned around and returned to her room.

Their rooms are next to each other, with only a wooden board separating them.

We can chat with each other even when we are sitting in our respective rooms, and there is no soundproofing at all.

She thought that if he didn't leave, it would be useless for her to worry, so she went to take a shower first, and then took out the clothes she had changed out of the past two days and washed them.

I still need to ask the boss for the washing powder for washing clothes.

When Ling Yechen went out, he saw her squatting by the sink downstairs, washing clothes.

He stood upstairs and watched for a while, then returned to his room to dig out a few clothes that he had changed out of the past two days, and threw the clothes to her from the second floor.

In a two-story building, they live upstairs, and downstairs is the courtyard, where the pool is.

He could see her from the second floor and throw clothes into her basin from upstairs.

I saw the clothes that suddenly fell into the basin.

She raised her head and saw him throwing the last piece of clothing in his hand into her basin.

She raised her head and squinted her eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ling Yechen said sternly: "Wash mine too."

Hu Tao said unconvinced: "Why?"

He said: "Why? If you are asked to wash it, wash it quickly."

After that, I went back to the room and closed the door.

No matter how Hu Tao called him, he didn't respond.

Hutao was very depressed. Except for her father, she had never helped any boy wash clothes in her life.

What's more, it's a strange boy.

Yes, Ling Yechen is still unfamiliar to her.

Although she knew his name and spent a few days together, she still felt strange.

After calling for a long time, he didn't respond at all. She could only take his clothes and wash them. Who asked her to eat and live with him?

Yes, he paid for the hotel stay.

She can only do the laundry and be obedient.
