"It only takes half an hour for the water to freeze." She poured all the ten catties of saltpeter she bought into it, waited for the water to completely freeze, and then wrapped it with a cloth to keep the temperature, and it would not melt for most of the day.

Mother Lu found it very strange, she had never seen the process of water freezing into ice.

Xiao Yunheng really wanted to ask what was the reason for the freezing process, and the words she said to herself that day flashed across her mind - sleep more and make less trouble.

He pursed his lips lightly, and the dark and deep light fell on Lu Xiyue's body. After several rounds, he was finally suppressed.

"I'll go to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables." She picked up the baskets she bought this morning, holding a sickle in her hand, and set off for the mountains.

Xiao Yunheng stood up and said lightly, "I'll go with you."

Just as Lu Xiyue was about to say no, the young man had already walked over, "There's not enough firewood, I'll go get some more."

She hesitated for a moment, and didn't stop her, "That's fine, mother, you can rest at home for a while, we'll go back as soon as we go, soon."

Mother Lu nodded and told the two to be careful on the road.

To the south of Dashan Village is an unopened area. Although there are not many forests, there are overgrown weeds. Lu Xiyue guessed that Village Chief Zhao should divide a piece of land here for them to grow lychees.

She soon found a patch of wild greens near a stream.

Xiao Yunheng was also picking up firewood not far away.

The two moved very quickly, but they picked up almost the same amount in a while.

Wild vegetables can't be stored for long after picking too much. She made half a basket and planned to go back to stir-fry vegetables and steam some wild vegetable buns. It's better than chewing hard pancakes every day.

Xiao Yunheng piled the firewood he had picked up in one place, tied them up with a rope, and lifted them on his back easily.

"Almost let's go back, these are enough for several days." She wiped off the sweat from her forehead, and said to Xiao Yunheng.

"Okay." Xiao Yunheng responded lightly.

Not long after the two walked, there was a rustling sound from the nearby bushes.

Lu Xiyue stopped and pricked up her ears: "Did you hear the crying?"

"Like a child." Xiao Yunheng frowned, and exchanged a glance with Lu Xiyue, "I'll go take a look."

He threw down the firewood, pushed aside the bushes, and there was a pale woman lying inside.

The woman was carrying a little baby on her back, she looked no more than five or six years old, when she saw someone coming, she hoarsely called for help.

"Help, please, save my mother!"

"Someone passed out!"

Xiao Yunheng immediately went to check on the woman's breath, but luckily she was still alive.

Lu Xiyue also didn't care about the basket of wild vegetables, she stretched out her hand and threw it aside, and ran to save people.

At this moment, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, and said angrily, "Save, save my child."

"Don't worry, we will save you. It should be heatstroke. Fortunately, we found it in time and it's nothing serious." Lu Xiyue quickly checked the situation of the good woman and helped her up.

"How is my mother? Is she okay?" The crying baby grabbed Xiao Yunheng's collar with her two small hands, her eyes were wrinkled, and her face was sticky.

"Don't worry, your mother will be fine." Lu Xiyue comforted the little guy.

Xiao Yunheng's long eyebrows were tightly frowned, and he grabbed the little baby by the collar, neither throwing it nor hugging it, and gently pinched the little baby's shoulders with both hands to keep him away from him.

Lu Xiyue had already carried the woman on her back, looked up and saw Xiao Yunheng's movements, and blinked: "This is a child, what are you doing so far away?"

Xiao Yunheng's face was unhappy, he stared at the little baby's face, and didn't say a word for a long while.

Lu Xiyue ignored him and asked the child, "Do you know the way home?"

The little doll nodded.

"Then show the way, and we'll take your mother home, okay?"

The little baby looked at the fainted mother, jumped out of Xiao Yunheng's hand, pointed to a place under the mountain, and said: "Where is my house, I will take you there."

"Okay, but hurry up, lest your mother's heat will get worse." As she spoke, she carried her on her back and walked down the road.

The woman is not plump, and it is not difficult to carry it on her back, but the way down the mountain is not smooth, and it is a bit difficult to walk.

Seeing her back being bent, Xiao Yunheng's doubts became more and more serious.

From leaving the capital to now, her behavior is completely different from before, like a different person, but she is the real Lu Xiyue.

If she can stay like this all the time, he doesn't mind living with her under the same roof, and when they return to Beijing in the future, they can be well.

So, Lu Xiyue, you better not pretend!

Xiao Yunheng loosened his clenched fists, carried the basket of wild vegetables, picked up the firewood again, and followed.

The road below was a bit steep, so Lu Xiyue pushed a log to support the ground to stabilize her body.

Seeing her struggling, Xiao Yunheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he handed her the basket: "You take these, and I'll carry her."

"No." Lu Xiyue refused without thinking, "You are not in good health and cannot do heavy work."

The road down the mountain is not very easy. If he falls again, his injury will recur again.

If the meridians of the hands and feet are all severed, it will not be cured in three or two days.

"It's okay, it's just a woman, it's not enough." He also spoke after thinking about it.

Lu Xiyue insisted, "No, it will be very troublesome if people see it."

The more remote and backward the place, the heavier the defense for men and women.

This woman has a husband's family, and she can't afford to cause trouble if the time comes.

But when these words fell into Xiao Yunheng's ears, it had another meaning.

It turned out that she insisted on not letting herself carry this woman because she didn't want him to meet other women.

There are many excuses.

Perhaps after going through all these things, Xiao Yunheng was no longer indifferent to Lu Xiyue as before.

But for her deep "love", he was really a little complicated.

When Lu Xiyue heard that he had lost his voice, she didn't speak, saving her energy, completely unaware that her kindness had turned into another theory in his heart.

After a while, they arrived at the woman's house and laid her flat on her bed.

Over there, Xiao Yunheng had already opened the window.

"I'll take off her clothes first, and you can bring me some water." Time was running out, and she began to tease Xiao Yunheng.

The clothes on the woman's body were thick and had a high neckline. She wanted to wash her body with cold water to relieve her from the heat.

It was urgent to save people, Xiao Yunheng didn't pay much attention, brought a basin of water from the kitchen, Lu Xiyue moved quickly, and took off the woman's clothes until only her underwear remained.

Xiao Yunheng retreated consciously.

She wiped the woman all over, and washed the little doll's dirty face along the way.

The heat on the woman's body quickly receded and returned to normal.

The little baby at the side was still crying, she carried him over and placed him beside the bed, comforting him softly: "I'll wake up in a while, you stay here to guard your mother, okay?"

"Okay, sister, are you leaving?" The little baby timidly opened her eyes wide while grabbing the hem of her clothes.
