Chapter 374 The Hunter's Little Darling 33
My cousin and Er Ya found some berries by the river, but not many.
Most of the ripe berries in this area are eaten by birds first, leaving not many. But it's nice to have some when snacks are scarce.
When the two returned, the berries were wrapped in leaves and put in the cousin's pocket.
The two of them each carried a bucket of water back.
Ma Erya was utterly speechless.
She didn't come here to actually work. She dug the ground all day yesterday, so why does she have to carry water today?
But since she'd already brought the bucket out, it wouldn't make sense for her not to carry it.
Fortunately, she was in good physical condition, and she didn't feel particularly tired carrying such a bucket of water back.
Especially when she saw Tu Shen still in the yard when she came back, she put the water down and asked, "Brother Tu, I brought the water back, where should I put it?"
Ma Erya felt that she had already cultivated a capable image well enough at this point.
Before Tu Shen could answer, his cousin, who had come over from behind, said directly, "Come with me, just pour it into the vat."
After pouring the water, my cousin saw that Xie Qingyu hadn't gotten up yet, so she put the berries she had brought back for Xie Qingyu on the table, told Tu Shen to remember to give them to Xie Qingyu, and then took Er Ya away.
"No, are we leaving already? Weren't we supposed to wait..." Ma Erya was still a little confused when she was dragged away. So she came here just to help with some chores.
“You don’t know what to do next either, so let’s wait until my sister-in-law wakes up before asking her. She’s not awake yet, so let’s not disturb her.” The cousin knew her place, and besides, Tu Shen was processing the game, so it wouldn’t be good if they stayed here until lunchtime.
Ma Erya's carefully planned plan was completely ruined by her cousin's impulsive actions.
However, this also gave them time to go back and discuss things further with Butcher, at least enough to find out more about the situation on the mountain.
.............................................
When Xie Qingyu woke up, it was already two or three in the afternoon.
Tu Shen was new to the world of meat and didn't know the consequences. He became addicted after experiencing the taste of it, tormenting people repeatedly.
Although Xie Qingyu also found enjoyment in it, she couldn't get rid of the physical fatigue.
When I woke up, my lower back was sore and my calves felt like I had climbed a mountain all night. The frequent pleasure had made the muscles in my legs tense up countless times, and now all that was left was an indescribable soreness.
Xie Qingyu didn't even want her feet to touch the ground.
When Tu Shen entered the room after hearing the commotion, he saw Xie Qingyu sitting on the edge of the bed with a not-so-good expression on her face.
Seeing Xie Qingyu's hand on his waist, Tu Shen awkwardly touched his nose.
He went a bit too far yesterday. At first, he thought he should restrain himself and not hurt Xie Qingyu.
But after he found out that Xie Qingyu could accept it, he couldn't control himself anymore.
Especially after seeing Xie Qingyu's usually blank eyes become vacant from his high vantage point, he worked even harder.
I vaguely remember Xie Qingyu seeming to be refusing, but at that time, Xie Qingyu's voice only added fuel to the fire.
Seeing the bruises on Xie Qingyu's exposed skin, Tu Shen felt even more guilty and spoke with a fawning tone, like a big dog, "You're awake. Are you hungry? I left you some food."
As Tu Shen spoke, he walked over to help Xie Qingyu get her clothes. After getting a set of clothes that could somewhat cover up the marks, he helped her put them on and then helped her put on her shoes.
Her snow-white instep connected to her perfectly rounded toes; this was probably the only spot on Xie Qingyu's body where the skin was completely unmarked.
But when he held the foot in his hands, Tu Shen was once again amazed at how small the foot was and how fair the skin was.
It contrasts sharply with his skin, and this contrast is even more pronounced when placed on his palm.
He remembered that some picture books featured feet...
Tu Shen swallowed unconsciously, and only when Xie Qingyu moved slightly, somewhat reluctantly, did he come to his senses and put on Xie Qingyu's shoes.
"Hiss~" As soon as Xie Qingyu's feet touched the ground, the soreness in her calves made her feel a little dazed.
Even if everyone in every world had great physical strength, none of them were this powerful.
The thought subconsciously arose in Xie Qingyu's mind, but it happened so quickly that Xie Qingyu herself didn't even realize that the thought had flashed through her mind for that one second.
He just punched Tu Shen next to him in an annoyed tone.
If she could see this now, she would probably glare fiercely at Tu Shen.
Now, all they can do is express their dissatisfaction through actions.
Tu Shen knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing Xie Qingyu's condition, it was clear she was uncomfortable walking, so they simply picked her up and carried her.
Tu Shen laughed when he saw Xie Qingyu obediently wrap her arms around his neck the moment she was picked up.
“If we can’t walk, we won’t walk. Wherever you want to go, I’ll carry you there,” Tu Shen said.
"You still dare to say that? I told you yesterday not to, and you can't do this again." Xie Qingyu realized that her voice was also very hoarse when she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Tu Shen dared not speak again, "I'll listen to you next time!"
Tu Shen coaxed them into going to eat.
"Why are there still fruits? Did you pick them?"
Tu Shen sometimes comes back early and brings Xie Qingyu some berries, but it seems that Tu Shen hasn't gone out at all today.
"My sister and that Er Ya picked these for you." Tu Shen watched Xie Qingyu eat the berries, her bright red lips stained with purple berry juice, which seemed to make her lips look even fuller.
A man who has tasted meat has a different focus than before.
Xie Qingyu sat across from him eating, while Tu Shen across from her practically stared at her.
Only because Xie Qingyu is blind can he look at her so brazenly.
"My cousins came by?" Xie Qingyu paused in her berry-eating motion.
Even if you don't know the exact time, you know it's already afternoon.
She was still asleep when her cousin and Ma Erya arrived...
We already know what happened yesterday.
"They saw that you hadn't gotten up, so they picked these berries for you and left them before leaving," Tu Shen explained.
When did they arrive?
"They came this morning and waited here for a while. I guess they were about to have lunch, so they went back because they were afraid I would invite them to stay for lunch." Tu Shen knew his cousin well; it was already a rare treat for her to have a meal here yesterday.
"So they all know I haven't woken up by noon." Xie Qingyu's voice was somewhat dejected.
Tu Shen noticed that something was wrong with her mood and quickly comforted her, "It's okay, they just think you were a little sleepy."
