Savage Addiction

Chapter 3 Lumberjacks

A wooden corridor was surrounded by the walls of the cabin. Ning You hung the shed clothes on the railing of the corridor, and then stood barefoot on a concrete platform beside the corridor.

The ground of the platform is sloped for drainage, and the corner is also made with a drain. It seems that this is the unfinished "shower room" that Li Mu said.

The toiletries are placed on the ground next to the platform, but they are just a bottle of shampoo and a piece of soap.

Ning You picked up the piece of soap and smelled it, and it smelled like Chinese herbal medicine, which was exactly the same as Li Mu's.

Smell is a person's private property, and Ning You didn't want her body to be contaminated with someone else's smell, so she put the piece of soap back on the ground.

At this time, a gust of autumn wind blew, and it was so cold that Ning You had goose bumps all over her body.

Between cold and dirty, Ning You would rather choose cold.However, the experience of taking a bath in the open air for the first time was not as easy as he imagined. Every time the cold wind blows, his upper and lower rows of teeth chatter uncontrollably, making small and fine collision sounds.

Fortunately, the temperature of the hot water was high enough. After about a minute or two, Ning You gradually got used to it and began to wash her body at the fastest speed in her life.

At this time, a black shadow suddenly flashed on the birch tree not far away, Ning You was so frightened that he immediately stopped what he was doing, and stared at the direction of the movement in fear.

It is said that there are wild beasts in this forest, so you can't choose him to appear when he is taking a bath, right?

If he was attacked by wild beasts naked...then he might as well be trampled to death by a black horse.

At this time, the sky hadn't completely darkened, and there was light coming out of the kitchen window, Ning You looked carefully for a while, and found that the black figure jumping up and down on the birch tree was a squirrel.

I don't know what species it is, but the body of the squirrel is black, with a white circle on the abdomen, the miscellaneous hairs on the ears stand up high, and the big fluffy tail looms behind.

It hid behind the birch tree, stretched out its small head, and blinked its big eyes at Ning You.

Ning You suddenly felt very uncomfortable, Li Mu also said who would watch him take a bath, isn't there a small audience here?

The experience of learning horsemanship made Ning You feel indifferent to small animals, and she didn't know how to deal with small animals.He used to take a bath with his back to the cabin and facing the direction of the birch forest, but now a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the side of the birch forest, so he had to turn his body [-] degrees and continue washing with his side facing the cabin.

This is not enough.

Although the little squirrel's eyes are pure and innocent, Ning You always feels like being peeped.He chose to squat down to cover the important parts, but at this moment, the little squirrel ran away and disappeared, and the sound of Martin boots trampling on the wooden corridor sounded from the other side.

"Don't you want bath towels?"

Holding a clean white towel in his hand, Li Mu just stood in the corridor beside him, looking down at Ning You who was squatting on the ground without hesitation.

Ning You was stunned, what is this person doing?He is taking a bath!

"Give me a ride here?"

Seeing that Ning You didn't respond, Li Mu asked again, pointing to the wooden railing that covered Ning You's clothes with his eyes.

Ning You's height is less than 1.7 meters [-], and her frame is small, so she looks even petite after shrinking into a ball.His body proportions are good. After squatting, his knees can exceed his shoulders. The combination of straight thighs and arched back reminds Li Mu of... a white swan.

The white swan still looked dazed, and Li Mu took a second look, then put the towel on the railing, turned and returned to the cabin.

After the sound of footsteps completely disappeared, Ning You became emotional, wondering why this barbarian was so rude, and didn't even say hello?

Of course, he has considered the issue of wiping his body after taking a shower. He always wears a pure cotton handkerchief on his body to wipe sweat and deal with emergencies.

Now it is a typical emergency situation, he has long thought of using a handkerchief to dry his body, but never thought of using Li Mu's towel at all.

The reason for not using it is also very simple——

He is a clean freak and doesn't like to use other people's towels.

Even though using a towel can greatly shorten the cleaning time, Ning You still took out a small square handkerchief from his coat, resisting the cold and wiping off the water droplets on his body.

Back in the cabin, it was completely dark.

Seeing two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table, Ning You temporarily put aside her emotions.

No matter how impolite Li Mu is, he is always Ning You's savior, he prepares towels and dinner for him, on this point, Ning You is still very grateful to Li Mu.

"Can I use your body lotion?" Ning You asked.

Li Mu took a small bottle from the window sill where the mouthwash cup was placed, and threw it into Ning You's arms.

"Dabao?" Ning You had never used this domestic brand before. After examining the bottle carefully for a while, he asked Li Mu, "How much is this?"

Li Mu said: "It's not expensive."

Ning You really had no idea, and asked again: "How much is not expensive?"

In fact, Li Mu didn't remember the exact price, so he estimated, "Twenty."

Ning You was dumbfounded.

For Ning You who often uses lamer cream as body lotion, the price is so low that it even makes him doubt whether this skin care product is effective.

But the weather in Xinjiang was really dry, and Ning You didn't dare not to moisturize, so she finally opened the festive big red bottle cap.

The smell is very mild and the texture is easy to push away.

When he entered the room, Ning You only wore the innermost short sleeves. He carefully smeared Dabao on his neck and arms, then reached into his clothes and wiped his chest and back.

After finishing all this, Ning You put Dabao back on the window sill, then looked at Li Mu who was sitting at the dining table and asked, "Can I use your face cream again?"

Li Mu didn't answer, he quietly chewed the rice with his hands, raised his chin, and motioned for the thing that had just returned to its place.

Ning You followed Li Mu's eyes, and asked incredulously, "Do you use body lotion to wipe your face?"

Li Mu swallowed slowly, took another sip of the freshly brewed milk tea, looked at Ning You and asked, "What's the problem?"

Ning You didn't expect Li Mu to understand this, but silently labeled Li Mu another rough guy in her heart.

After reluctantly finishing her skin care, Ning You sat down opposite Li Mu.Heating with warm tea makes people feel extra comfortable on this cold autumn night.

Ning You is a little unaccustomed to the salty taste of milk tea, but the taste of the pilaf is much better than he imagined, and it seems that it has been specially adjusted for the taste of the mainland.

"Do you live here alone?" Ning You inevitably asked curiously.

Li Mu let out an "um" casually, apparently having no desire to continue the chat.

Ning You shut her mouth obediently, and the two of them ate dinner without disturbing the river water, only the sound of bowls and chopsticks clashing in the room.

Because Ning You spent a little time on skin care, Li Mu left the table before him.He unhurriedly swallowed the last grain of rice in the bowl, then wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and said politely, "I'm done."

I'm done—a polite phrase, like "Thank you for your hospitality" in Japanese, is a formality, not an answer.

However, as soon as Ning You finished speaking, Li Mu in the living room said, "After eating, wash the dishes."

Ning You looked towards the kitchen subconsciously, and found that the dishwasher was not installed, so he asked Li Mu uncertainly, "Shall I do the washing?"

Li Mu asked back: "Otherwise?"

It's that line again.

Every time Li Mu said this, Ning You felt that she was asking nonsense.

Thinking about it, it is true that living under the fence is not as good as being a young master at home with servants to take care of you.

Ning You also realized that he should wash the dishes both emotionally and rationally, so he breathed out resignedly, and was about to stand up to clean up the dishes, but at this moment, Li Mu's cell phone rang suddenly.

In this quiet cabin, Ning You could hear the irritable tone of the person on the other end of the phone, and even Li Mu's expression became serious.

After a while, Li Mu hung up the phone, walked quickly to the entrance, and said to Ning You: "There is a fire on the other side of the mountain, stay here and don't go anywhere."

"Fire?" The slogan that can be seen everywhere in the forest immediately appeared in Ning You's mind - set fire to the mountain and sit in prison.It can be seen that a forest fire is a very serious matter, and it is no wonder that Li Mu is in such a hurry.

"Will it burn here?" Ning You asked worriedly.

"Not yet." Li Mu put on his coat, completely unaware that his words were not reassuring at all.

Not for the time being, it means that after a long time, it may also burn here.Ning You didn't know anything about Lin Zi, but he at least had basic common sense. The weather in Xinjiang was extremely dry, and it was windy at night, making it even more difficult to put out the fire.

At this moment, it was pitch black outside the house, and Ning You had been desperate in the birch forest all afternoon, and she really didn't want to fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness again.Subconsciously, he wanted Li Mu to stay by his side, but he didn't know how to say it, so he asked without end: "Do the lumberjacks also have to go out to fight the fire?"

"Lumberjack?" Li Mu stopped tying his shoelaces, "Who told you I was a lumberjack?"

Uh... this is Ning You's guess.

When he saw Li Mu wearing only a vest, he somehow thought of a lumberjack with a big ax in his mind.

Strong and powerful, he chopped the tree trunk one by one, and the sweat of labor flowed on his strong arms.

Dispelling the strange images in his mind, Ning You said, "I thought you were a lumberjack."

"No." Li Mu stood up and pushed open the heavy wooden door, "I am a forest ranger."

For a moment, the cold wind came in through the crack of the door, drowning Li Mu's words, but it couldn't blow away the blush on Ning You's face due to shame.

He seems to have no right to despise others.
