Time Travel Adventure
Chapter 16: Bathing and Being Intruded
After we finished our meal, Zi Fu cleared the dishes and went back to her room to study medical books. I was lying in the pavilion alone. Zi Fu found a medical book for me and told me to read it to relieve my fatigue.
I almost fell asleep watching it. "No, no, I can't watch this anymore. This is not my life."
I started strolling in the yard when I had nothing to do. The yard was brightly lit. When I passed by Zi Fu's house, I heard some noises from inside. I put my ear to the door, but the sound was too small and I couldn't hear anything.
"He saved me, but I eavesdropped on his conversation. That's too much!" A sudden sense of guilt overwhelmed me and I suppressed my curiosity.
I smelled myself and decided to take a bath. I started looking for where they took a bath. I passed by the woodshed, where there was a big pot and a large wooden basin, which looked more like a wooden barrel.
I ran to the well to fetch water, and went back and forth many times to fetch water. I was so tired that I sat down and slowly made a fire.
The crackling sound of the fire also calmed me down. Once I was quiet, I started to have a lot of thoughts. I remembered the time when I was first rescued at Manxianglou and Yaoyao asked me to boil the pot.
I don't know why, but tears started to flow like pearls from a broken string. Ever since I came to this strange world, Yaoyao has always been so kind to me. I have been with her for so long that I have long regarded her as a relative.
When Yaoyao pushed me forward, when I think back now, I am more sad than angry. I still cannot accept being betrayed by the person I thought was closest to him.
Did you take care of me for so long just to bring out that scorpion? Our relationship for so long is not as precious as a scorpion. Yes, that scorpion looks priceless, definitely more valuable than me, hehe.
My silent crying stopped with the sound of boiling water. I wiped away my tears and cheered myself up. I scooped water into the wooden bucket one scoop at a time, adjusted the water to the right temperature, took off my clothes and prepared to take a bath.
Entering the water, "Ah~ so comfortable~" The hot water made me feel so comfortable. The most comfortable thing is taking a bath. This is my biggest sigh at present. I wiped my body carefully, yawned comfortably, and added hot water to the bucket when the water temperature reached.
When I was wiping my body carefully, I suddenly found something strange. The number of scars on my shoulders was not right. I thought I had seen it wrong. I counted them carefully several times and found that there was indeed one missing.
It seems that the previous stories can be connected. I have been stabbed in the heart, but I am not dead yet. It must be because of this reason. The more I think about it, the weirder it gets. I can't just stab myself to confirm my own thoughts. That would really hurt.
I sank down until the water reached below my nose, making gurgling sounds as bubbles came out. I heard some noise outside the door, and I got up and put on my clothes. There were water droplets on my body, and it was very uncomfortable.
My uncle and Zi Fu were both in the room, they were on the right side. The sound was obviously coming from the left side, which led to the backyard. I quickly blew out the candle.
I was so scared that I took a wooden stick, thinking that maybe there was a thief. In ancient times, there was no surveillance, so I couldn't call the police. Even if I called the government, I didn't know if they would catch him.
I hid behind the door for a long time, but still didn't hear any sound. I was wondering if I had heard it wrong. I reached out to go out to see what was going on, but before my hand touched the door, there was another noise outside and the door was pushed open from the outside.
I was so scared that I dropped the stick, used the storage technique and took out the scimitar. I was sure that this person was not my uncle or Zi Fu. The door was pushed open and I swung the scimitar at the person.
The man was obviously frightened. It might be because my swordsmanship was really clumsy, so he dodged it and kicked me. Fortunately, this man had never learned dancing, so I was kicked to the ground and felt my bones to find that I was fine.
I regretted blowing out the candle just now. I didn't even know what I looked like now. I climbed up holding on to the wooden barrel in pain. The man chopped me down with a knife, and I just fell to the ground in pain. I didn't feel fainted like in the movies and TV shows. Did this man want to knock me out?
But he just knocked me out, he didn't want to hurt me, I fell down and didn't move, as if I was really fainted, the man walked towards me step by step, two steps away from me, the man squatted down, as if looking at me carefully.
My heart was pounding with nervousness. The scalpel suddenly flashed red, and the snake on the scabbard appeared in front of me. Its whole body was glowing red. It bit the man's calf, stayed there for two seconds, and then disappeared.
The man was bitten and turned around and ran out. I waited for a long time before I got up and checked at the door. After making sure that the person had gone far away, I lit the candle.
I put away the scalpel and returned to the room with the lantern in fear. It was very bright outside just now, but now many lanterns were extinguished, which looked a little weird.
I subconsciously went to Zi Fu's room and knocked on the door. It took a while for someone to open the door. Zi Fu opened the door and said, "What's wrong, Miss Le? Are you done with your shower?"
I asked in confusion, "How did you know I was taking a shower?" Zi Fu opened the door and let me in. She took the lantern and blew it out, then poured me a cup of tea. "I usually take a shower at this time. I saw the light was on just now, so I guessed it was you."
I drank the tea and calmed down a lot. I was thinking about whether I should tell her what happened just now. Zi Fu saw that I was lost in thought and asked me what was wrong.
"It's nothing, my head just feels a little dizzy from the soak." Zi Fu felt my pulse and said, "Nothing." I thanked her and went back to my room to rest.
The closer I got to the room I lived in, the faster I walked. When I reached the door, I opened and closed it as quickly as I could, leaning my back against the door, my heart still pounding.
I felt a little more at ease after I moved the table to block the door. I lay on the bed with the knife in my hand. The snake was indeed helping me just now. I don’t know if it was kind or not, but at least it was protecting me, which made me feel a little better.
It's funny that in this unfamiliar place, I suddenly felt safe with a knife.
I stared with my eyes wide open, unable to fall asleep for a long time. I held the knife tighter and just used it as a talisman.
I had been tense for too long, and this knife seemed to have a calming effect. It made me relax a lot, and I fell asleep while relaxing.
I had a very strange dream. I actually dreamed of that red snake. It was holding a mirror with its tail and opening its mouth wide, checking its teeth.
I stared at everything in front of me in dumbfounded. The snake looked left and right, fearing that its teeth might be broken. Finally, it reluctantly put the mirror down and looked at me with resentment.
Thinking about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, I turned around and strolled around other places. Then I found that there was a backyard here, which was really nice.
