Chapter 24: Just sleeping together
The bonfire in the house has been extinguished.
What kept the light inside was a half-burnt candle placed on a wooden board.
Cai Wenji knelt down on Jiang Tian's bed and smoothed out the folds little by little with her little hands.
Jiang Tian's bed was placed on the left side of the house, where Cai Wenji changed clothes just now.
The quilt was also the one used to cover her just now.
This situation reminded Cai Wenji of what happened just now.
Her fingertips brushed against the quilt, causing her heart to tremble again.
Soon after, he stood up and whispered to Jiang Tian:
"Master, the bedding is ready."
Jiang Tian looked at the smooth pavement and nodded with satisfaction.
He reached out his hand and stroked Cai Wenji's little head.
"Yeah, very good."
"whee……"
Feeling the warmth from Jiang Tian's palm, Cai Wenji felt very comfortable.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled, revealing two dimples.
"Okay, go to sleep."
Jiang Tian took off his slippers and got into bed, waved to Lu Bu who was standing on the other side of the room waiting for orders, and said:
"Lu Bu, you should go to bed early and get up early tomorrow. If the rain stops, you will still have to work."
"Yes, my lord."
Lu Bu responded.
He lay down on the mattress, covered himself with the quilt and said no more words.
Seeing Jiang Tian looking at her, Cai Wenji said at a loss:
"Master, master, go to bed first. I, I, I... I will blow out the candles."
"Um."
Jiang Tian responded and said no more.
Cai Wenji blew out the candle and climbed onto the bed in the dark.
Carefully, he opened a corner of the quilt and got in.
Lying on the soft mattress, feeling the warmth coming from her side, Cai Wenji felt nervous.
His body was shaking slightly, his eyes were tightly closed, and his palms were covered in sweat.
My mind is full of random thoughts.
I don't know how long this state lasted.
There was no movement around him, and nothing he imagined happened.
Cai Wenji opened her eyes, tilted her head and asked tentatively:
"……Owner?"
"call……"
There was no response, only the sound of even breathing coming from beside him.
"Asleep..."
Cai Wenji felt relieved.
But I was inexplicably disappointed.
I want to reach out and touch the owner, but I don't dare.
Just then.
In the sky outside the wooden house, a long silver dragon cut through the sky.
A few seconds later.
Thunder bursts.
Boom!
Boom!
"ah!"
Cai Wenji, who was already nervous, was startled by the sudden thunder.
Then he quickly huddled up into a ball, like a stressed kitten.
Under the reflection of the dark night, his huge pupils were full of fear.
Although in ancient times, Cai Wenji was already the mother of several children at her age.
But Cai Wenji, who had lost her memory, acted like a young girl who was not deeply involved in the world.
"...Huh? What's wrong..."
Hearing the noise, Jiang Tian opened his hazy eyes half asleep and asked.
"I'm sorry, Master... I disturbed you while sleeping... It thundered just now, I..."
"...Are you afraid?"
"Um……"
Cai Wenji responded with some shame.
He seemed to be annoyed that he was disturbing his master's rest.
Jiang Tian's lying body turned sideways, and then reached out to touch her head.
"Don't be afraid, master will read you a jingle..."
Cai Wenji was stunned for a moment, then nodded shyly.
Jiang Tian said slowly in a low voice:
"The little white rabbit is white and white, with two ears standing up. It loves to eat radishes and vegetables. It is so cute to jump around..."
Cai Wenji felt even more ashamed when she heard Jiang Tian reciting such juvenile nursery rhymes.
Owner……
I……
I'm really not a child!
However.
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he paused and continued:
"The little white rabbit is white and white, with two ears standing up. After cutting the arteries and veins.
It's so cute to be motionless.
Peel it, chop it into pieces, put it in the pot and fry it.
Add water and cover.
Sprinkle coriander before serving..."
Cai Wenji: "..."
Ah this...
I was quite touched at first. Master, you...
The rabbit is so cute, how can you eat the rabbit?
However, it was precisely because of Jiang Tian's playful jingle that Cai Wenji was no longer afraid.
Ever since, Cai Wenji carefully turned her head and looked at Jiang Tian.
Under the illumination of the night, Jiang Tian's side face was unusually soft.
By accident, Cai Wenji was stunned.
Until Cai Wenji suddenly felt a gentle pull.
The next second, he fell into a warm embrace.
"Hey...Master..."
"...Be good, don't be afraid anymore...huh..."
Jiang Tian muttered something drowsily, rubbed Cai Wenji's head, and fell asleep again.
In the darkness, Cai Wenji's face was hot.
He also stretched out his little hand and held Jiang Tian's waist...
…
The next day.
Jiang Tian and the others got up early and listened to the noise outside. The sound of wind and rain had stopped.
Open the wooden door.
The dark clouds have receded, and the familiar sunshine shines on the island again.
"This weather is still comfortable."
Jiang Tian stretched out and sighed.
I looked at the situation outside.
Everything is business as usual, as if nothing happened.
Only the remaining water on the ground reminded everyone of the heavy rain last night.
He tried to step outside.
A mud mark.
Jiang Tian frowned and opened the trading system.
He wanted to buy a few sets of raincoats and rain boots.
But there were none for sale.
After last night, the relatively cheap rainproof items before became popular now.
There was no choice but to shout in the regional channel to see if there were any acquaintances who could sell them to him.
At this time.
In the regional channel, people were discussing the sunny weather after the rain today.
"Finally, it's sunny. It's not easy!"
"Yes, it was okay when I got wet in the rain yesterday, but I almost froze to death later."
"I also built a small shed in the rain yesterday and burned hay in it to get water and keep warm."
"The ground is wet, and there are pits everywhere. It's inconvenient to walk."
"CNNS1111: Buy a set of raincoats and rain boots. The price is negotiable. If you have any, you can chat with me privately."
Jiang Tian's voice caused another uproar in the regional channel.
"Fuck, the boss is out!"
"Boss, how is your communication with that little loli?"
"What happened last night?"
"0066: Bah! Pervert!"
"0888: Damn, although I don't know what happened to you, I always feel so envious."
The message scrolled quickly.
Jiang Tian's mouth twitched.
Why is no one paying attention to his acquisition information, and everyone is asking about Cai Wenji?
Thinking about this, Jiang Tian glanced behind him.
Feeling the other party's gaze, Cai Wenji blushed and smiled sweetly.
Looks like she is in a very good mood.
Jiang Tian thought for a while and sent:
"Last night, we had a meal together, and then...
You sell me the raincoat first, and after I receive three sets of raincoats and rain boots, I will tell you the follow-up plot."
"Fuck!"
"You should tell the whole story!"
"Who has a raincoat, sell one to the boss!"
"..."
At this moment, the focus of everyone's attention returned to Jiang Tian's acquisition of items.
Although those who had raincoats refused to exchange them after the baptism of yesterday night, two people still chatted with Jiang Tian privately.
They planned to sell the raincoats and sew another one with waterproof cloth and other plastics.
After all, many people are in a situation of lack of food now. Although they have raincoats, the supplies they have are not enough to eat.
Of course, under the current circumstances, the price these two people asked was a bit high.
Each person was given 1 instant noodles, ham, bread, and 2 Huazi.
Two sets of raincoats and rain boots were taken by Jiang Tian.
"Well... there is another set."
Jiang Tian muttered in his mouth while flipping through the messages.
At this moment, he received a private message.
"0066: Are you collecting raincoats now?"
"Why, you have some? By the way, I think you said yesterday that you won two raincoats."
"Yes, I have an extra set... and I think this raincoat is especially suitable for you."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"The extra set I have is a children's raincoat, which is not easy for ordinary people to wear. But didn't you catch a little girl yesterday..."
"What a coincidence?"
Jiang Tian raised his eyebrows: "Great, make an offer!"
The other party was silent for a while.
"How did you... yesterday?"
"Why are you so gossipy..."
Jiang Tian was speechless: "Didn't I say that I would announce it on the regional channel when I received the raincoat? This is the last set, hurry up."
"...Well, my fire was put out and I can't boil water. Give me some plastic-wrapped cooked food with oil and water, plus 3 Huazi."
"Deal."
A shadow flashed by, and the transaction was completed.
In front of Jiang Tian, there was another set of yellow, dinosaur-style raincoats and rain boots that were more than 1 meter long.
The raincoat was also sewn with plastic cloth to form the spines on the back of the dinosaur.
Very cute.
"You can wear this when it rains in the future. Come on, put on the boots first."
"Ah! It looks good!"
Cai Wenji took it with surprise, and her eyes smiled into a crescent again: "Thank you, Master!"
Jiang Tian smiled faintly and handed another set of adult raincoats to Lu Bu.
Finally, open the regional chat channel.
At this time, including 0066, the three people who sold the raincoat to Jiang Tian had reported the situation on it.
There was a quarrel in the channel, and they shouted for Jiang Tian to tell the story of last night.
Jiang Tian smiled helplessly and sent:
"Look at you, nothing happened after we had dinner last night.
It's just...
We slept together."
