County
Husband really liked him!
With this thought in mind, Gu Changfeng was dazed by Shen Yanbei's hand which touched him until Shen Yanbei couldn't stand it before he fell asleep on the man's strong body.
Asleep till dawn.
Stretching, Shen Yanbei opened the door and saw Gu Changfeng who was chopping wood in the yard at a glance. The man worked attentively. He squeezed his ax hard causing his beautiful muscles on his arms to bulge slightly. When the ax cleaved it, the vertical wood suddenly cracked. There had been so many piles of chopped firewood on the ground. Let Shen Yanbei see such an attractive picture early in the morning...
Shen Yanbei stared straight at Gu Changfeng's neck. Watched the sweat snaking down the honey-colored skin, dripped over the half-exposed chest muscles, and finally disappeared into the coarse clothes.
Involuntarily licked his lips, Shen Yanbei had sparks shining on his eyes.
The gaze was so hot that it was difficult for Gu Changfeng to not notice. As soon as he turned his head, he met Shen Yanbei's undisguised gaze. His face was a little hot.
Putting down the ax in his hand, Gu Changfeng walked towards him uncomfortably. "My husband, have you gotten up? Breakfast is in the pot. You can eat it after taking a bath."
Shen Yanbei said last night that they would go to the county together this morning. So he especially got up early to pick up the water and chop the firewood.
"Have you eaten? Did not eat together?" Shen Yanbei smiled slightly.
The man's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat and his rugged and handsome face was full of healthy flushes, sexy and charming. He wanted to take a bite. Then, Shen Yanbei really took a bite and sealed Gu Changfeng's lips.
Gu Changfeng's already red face turned even redder. He asked inexplicably, "...Where did I go wrong?"
Shen Yanbei couldn't laugh or cry. "You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I simply want to kiss you..." The tone became more subtle. "I not only want to kiss you but also..."
The ambiguous smile and meaningful gaze on Shen Yanbei's face made Gu Changfeng understanding at once. His face flushed red such as the fire burned then dropped a sentence, "I...I'll go wash and change into clean clothes!"
He rushed as if to escape.
Although the two laid on the same bed and had touched each other, he still couldn't bear to hear such highly suggestive words from Shen Yanbei's mouth!
Shen Yanbei sighed. Couldn't really slap, only could survive with mouth addiction*. When would he end looking at plums to quench thirst**?
*This is the southern dialect. It can be understood as: the meaning of not talking for nothing or not eating for nothing. Just use your mouth to enjoy the addiction. It is generally a derogatory term.
**wàngméizhǐkě: console oneself with false hopes; feed on fancies; imagined satisfaction.
...
When the two went out, the sky was already white.
Shenjia Village was not far from the county seat, but Shen Yanbei's body was still weak so it was impossible to walk a long distance. The two of them decided to ride on Uncle Shen's bullock cart. Uncle Shen's youngest son worked as a cook in a restaurant in the county seat. Uncle Shen planted a lot of vegetables at his own house and would send some fresh vegetables to the restaurant every morning. If there were villagers who wanted to go to the county, they could take a ride, with two cents per person and free for children.
"Go!" Uncle Shen gave a 'hehe' smile, raised the whip in his hand, and drove the bullock cart.
Today, Shen Yanbei and Gu Changfeng were the two who rode the bullock cart to the county. They sat side by side at the back of the cart, put down their feet naturally, and the whole person swayed following the sway of the bullock cart.
In the early morning, a cold wind blew across the treetops and brushed over the green leaves of the vegetable field. Those were blowing slowly, mixed with the smell of grass dew, which made people refreshing.
Shen Yanbei squinted his eyes, looking at the morning glory* that slowly bloomed on both sides of the road facing the rising sun, with a pleasant expression on his face.
*qiān niú huā: daffodil.
He had been in luxury cars, private jets, and yachts. He didn't expect that once he returned to his true shape under the disguise, he would still ride a bullock cart! Shen Yanbei played with the hands of the person next to him, with a nostalgic smile on his face. In fact, there was nothing wrong with riding an ox cart. Along the way, there was fresh air, sunny sunshine, an intoxicating breeze, and... his lovely manly wife!
Gu Changfeng sat there with his waist upright. His honey-colored skin faintly tinged with redness, and the cool temperature on the young man's fingers passed along the skin where the two of them were attached and ran to his heart. His heart also felt like it burned.
The husband seemed to like to do such intimate and simple actions with himself...
Gu Changfeng felt moved slightly in his heart and glanced at Shen Yanbei secretly. He didn't expect that Shen Yanbei was also looking at him.
Both eyes were facing each other for a time.
A cluster of small flames exploded in Shen Yanbei's eyes. As soon as his hand pressed down the other person's hand hard, the man fell on him. Then after he held the man's face and kissed the man's pale lips, Shen Yanbei smiled extremely contentedly.
Gu Changfeng looked around in a panic and found that there was only their bullock cart in the field. Also, Uncle Shen who was driving the cart was smoking a dry cigarette. While secretly relieved, there was a wonderful sweetness in his heart. The strands of sweetness entangled and fermented in his heart and finally filled the entire atrium.
Spitting out a puff of a cigarette in joy, Uncle Shen looked back at the two young men who were close to each other, smiled, and shook his head. Who said that Shen Yan was not good to his wife? Seeing how close they were, they looked very good. The spreading rumors were very unbelievable...
In the shaking of the bullock cart, they finally reached the county seat after about half an hour. At this time, the sun has risen and the people in the county had become busy.
After agreed to meet Uncle Shen at the gate of the city, Shen Yanbei took Gu Changfeng to the street. The county town in front of them was a bit dilapidated and the infrastructure was poor. It was not as clean and prosperous as those ancient towns Shen Yanbei had traveled to in the future, but it was still lively. Villagers from all over the country gathered on the side of the street to sell their own agricultural products. Just like going to the fair when he was a kid, it was quite interesting.
Shen Yanbei looked all the way. Soon Gu Changfeng had a lot more things in his hand. Miscellaneous grains, flour, beans, sauerkraut, seeds, rice wine, etc, and... five fluffy chickens and five ducklings!
Shen Yanbei liked to eat chickens but ducks could easily be fed and grew fast. Also, Shenjia Village was on the riverside, so ducks were the most suitable! So Shen Yanbei bought the chicken cubs and little ducklings!
When watching at these squeaky little things, Gu Changfeng thought in his heart. Husband, he really loved these fluffy little animals. How about he caught two white little rabbits for him?
Shen Yanbei didn't notice Gu Changfeng's look. He was looking for a shop for condiments on the street, but there was no such shop in this small county. Not only that, but Shen Yanbei also found that the seasoning here was very scarce and there were not many of them. Ordinary people generally used scallion, ginger, garlic, and salt. For soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar were used only by those who were more particular about food. There was no such thing as pepper, cumin*, and star anise**, which were common in modern times!
*zī rán: the seeds of fennel.
**bā jiǎo: also called fennel. Commonly known as aniseed. Small evergreen tree.
Shen Yanbei was a little dazed for a while. He liked spicy, if there was no chili in this world, would he not eat spicy for a lifetime?
"Husband... husband?"
"What's the matter?" Shen Yanbei returned to his senses and met Gu Changfeng's worried eyes, suppressed the depression, and asked with a smile.
Seeing his expression returned to normal, Gu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. "What else to buy?"
Shen Yanbei looked up and saw that there was a meat seller on the corner of the street. His eyes lit up and he took Gu Changfeng to the pork stall. He hadn't eaten meat for a few days! And how could his wife, such a mighty and strong man, ate cabbage and sweet potatoes with him every day! What should he do if his wife suffered from hunger and thinness?
"Excuse me, give me three jin of pork belly!"
The cheerful voice of the young man came into the owner's ears. As soon as the pork seller raised his head, he squinted his smiling eyes and said, "What?"
Shen Yanbei repeated it with a smile. This food can't be kept for too long without a refrigerator. Otherwise, he would buy ten jin.
The pork seller cut the meat neatly, one tael for three jin. Looking at the appearance of a scholar from Shen Yanbei with thin arms and legs, the butcher's big hand waved, "Count you three jin! Forty-eight cents!"
Pork belly cost 16 cents a catty. Shen Yanbei saw that there were a lot of pig bones next to him. He asked, "How much this bone?"
"Eight coins per catty! Want?"
So much cheaper than meat? Shen Yanbei was slightly surprised. But after thinking about it, he understood. Ordinary people usually sold meat to eat. After all, the bones were less fleshy and weighed. It was not enough for the family to eat. Therefore, not many people were willing to buy bones, which caused bones cheaper than meat.
The meat was indeed delicious, but you still had to drink bone soup to replenish your body. Shen Yanbei picked two tube bones and paid the money.
Gu Changfeng stretched out his hand and was about to lift the pork, but Shen Yanbei did not let it go.
Gu Changfeng was afraid that Shen Yanbei would be tired, so he didn't let him carry anything. But his wife was still injured. How could he be too tired?
Thinking of this, Shen Yanbei suddenly stopped.
