C7 – A Group of Males Had been Bathing within the River!

The younger man silently washed himself earlier than laying down going through the wall, presenting Tang Yue with a chic again view.

Tang Yue finally drifted off to sleep whereas watching him, and when he awoke, the solar had already risen, and the air was full of the refreshing aroma of rain-soaked earth.

The traditional occasions, with their pristine ecology and nil air pollution, had one redeeming high quality in Tang Yue’s eyes. If he may make his life extra snug right here, he wouldn’t thoughts staying since there wasn’t a lot he missed from his earlier life.

When he turned to look, he noticed Hu Jinpeng behind the younger man, combing his hair whereas half-kneeling. Tang Yue was a little bit repulsed by the sight of a burly man with a stubble-covered face dealing with somebody’s hair. He couldn’t think about how a lot it should have harm.

Regardless of this, he nonetheless took a second to admire the younger man’s magnificence earlier than heading to the river to clean up. Nevertheless, what he noticed when he arrived was stunning – a gaggle of bare males have been bathing within the river!

Tang Yue had stopped going to public baths ever since he found his sexual orientation wasn’t standard. He was afraid of getting embarrassed if he misplaced focus and stared at a person with a very good physique.

Nevertheless, at this second, the dozen or so bare males with good physiques have been indulging in one another’s firm. They weren’t even bothering to cowl themselves with a fabric, and their eyes sparkled with mischief. Tang Yue’s thoughts was full of every kind of obscene scenes.

Abruptly, one of many males with a fabric tied round his arm known as out to him, asking if he needed to hitch them within the bathtub. “Hey, younger dandy, need to come down and have a shower with us?”

Yin Xu acknowledged one of many individuals who had sustained minor accidents yesterday. After scanning him together with his laser eyes, he thought to himself that he ought to simply let it go and never really feel inferior.

“Younger grasp, why don’t you come down and bathe with us? I may even therapeutic massage your again,” mentioned the opposite particular person, turning round to disclose that the river solely reached his knees. He may see every thing from high to backside.

Tang Yue impatiently closed his eyes and shouted again, “The water is already soiled due to you guys. Why trouble washing in it?” He had come early within the morning to impress the outdated man, so what did he have to fret about?

He ran upstream and rapidly brushed his enamel and washed his face. Tang Yue picked a handful of untamed mustard from the river and returned with it. Because of his expertise within the metropolis, the place everybody chased after wild greens, he had discovered about a number of differing kinds.

As he approached, the aroma of rice and meat wafted from the temple. Nevertheless, the scent was truly coming from Hu Jinpeng’s facet, the place his Grandpa Shan had caught a wild rooster and was roasting it.

Tang Yue had nearly change into constipated from consuming roast meat day by day. He ran over to Hu Jinpeng’s facet and snuck a peek on the good-looking younger man. He seen that the younger man was intently targeted on a bamboo slip, with the morning gentle casting a peaceable and exquisite glow over him.

When the younger man raised his head and checked out him skeptically, Tang Yue rapidly greeted him with a “Good morning!”

The younger man frowned barely and nodded earlier than reducing his head and returning to his studying.

Tang Yue had already realized that paper had not but been invented on this period, and every thing was written on bamboo slips. He made a psychological observe to recollect how paper was made as soon as he returned residence. Life with out paper was powerful, as even going to the bathroom was a problem.

“Brother Hu, do you might have any additional rice? How about two servings? I’ll pay for it!” Tang Yue eagerly requested, squatting beside the small pot and drooling as he gazed on the white porridge.

There was a time when he had fallen so low that he had even drooled over porridge. Life really was depressing!

Hu Jinpeng was troubled as white rice was scarce, making it troublesome to purchase even with cash. Solely he and his grasp ate white rice in the complete workforce. Nevertheless, he determined to provide a portion of his personal weight to his grasp, gritting his enamel. “I recognize you for saving the younger dandy yesterday. Take into account this as remuneration.”

“How can that be? I’ll pay for it. Let’s purchase it and promote it brazenly,” mentioned Tang Yue, going to the mountain to retrieve the cash bag.

“Ten knives for a pound of white rice,” a chilly voice spoke from behind him. Tang Yue exclaimed, “What?! So costly?”

“You should purchase ten kilos of rice with one knife.”

Tang Yue’s eyes lit up on the point out of rice. Isn’t that simply millet? It will be even higher. He rapidly handed Hu Jinpeng a knife coin and mentioned, “Promote me 10 kilos of rice, then.”

Hu Jinpeng’s mouth twitched for some time. He was the Duke of An’s son, but he was doing a commerce of ten catties of rice. If he advised others, he would certainly be ridiculed.

“Take it,” the younger man ordered with out even trying up, leaving Hu Jinpeng with no selection however to just accept.

The grasp’s insistence on taking cash left him feeling puzzled. Though this younger dandy had first rate medical abilities, he puzzled why he didn’t settle for the provide of 10 catties of grain or 1 catty of white rice as an alternative. Maybe, by refusing his provide, the younger man was anticipating even higher returns sooner or later.

After accepting the rice, Tang Yue turned anxious once more. The absence of a pot meant that they couldn’t prepare dinner the rice and have been unable to eat it uncooked.

Tang Yue determined to ask the younger man instantly this time, with out having to make use of the surname Hu as a mouthpiece, “Do you occur to have any additional pots?”

The younger man put down his e-book and replied, “It’s fairly costly.” His clear eyes caught Tang Yue’s consideration and stirred his coronary heart.

Contemplating his motionless legs, Tang Yue provided, “I may deal with you.”

The younger man’s eyes flickered earlier than returning to their traditional state. He nonchalantly said, “There’s no remedy.”

Though the 4 phrases have been simple, there was a touch of disappointment in his tone. The younger man should have encountered many docs who have been unable to deal with his situation. It was comprehensible that he lacked religion in himself.

“How can I do know if I don’t strive?” In his previous life, sufferers needed to wait in line to see him as a health care provider. Tang Yue felt disheartened that he was being underestimated.

Ignoring Tang Yue, the younger man shook his head and instructed Hu Jinpeng to ship a set of cooking utensils to Tang Xiaolang. He picked up his e-book and resumed studying.

Hu Jinpeng introduced Tang Yue with a small pot and two porcelain bowls, looking at him for a protracted whereas with a posh expression. Nevertheless, he didn’t say something, merely heaving a sigh.

Tang Yue’s hairs stood on finish as he muttered, “It’s alright for those who decline therapy, however don’t come to remorse it later.”
