Chapter 108: Boil water for a bath

Liu Ling'er also implicated Ma Wenbing in the matter, which was also right and wrong, but in general, Liu Koukou was the head chef, so it was still wrong.

Tianxiang doesn't think so, in fact, it's really good to eat some vegetarian dishes today, you can see clearly, and you will get tired of eating it with so much fish and meat, even if your dishes are delicious.

Tianxiang said, "I don't think there's anything bad about eating vegetables occasionally, don't mutter, let's go to bed and rest, we still have important actions at night." ”

Liu Ling'er sat on the chair, holding her chin with her hands in a daze, "I can't sleep at all, I want to sleep with you, I want to sit here for a while." ”

Seeing Liu Ling'er's stunned appearance, it was very cute and pitiful, even Tianxiang couldn't help but say, "This girl is so cute, if I were a boy, I would definitely like him." ”

Tianxiang sat next to Liu Ling'er, showing a concerned expression, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you downcast? Is there something uncomfortable? If you are not feeling well, you don't have to go at night." ”

Because she was afraid of being misunderstood by Tianxiang and didn't let her go, Liu Ling'er immediately said, "I'm normal, what's wrong?" You see, my face is not red and I don't panting, do I look like I'm sick?"

Liu Ling'er exhaled at Tianxiang in a big gulp, and Tianxiang had to dodge Liu Ling'er's prank and block her mouth with one hand.

"Okay, okay, you're not sick, I know, who made you look stupid" Tianxiang kept saying while begging Liu Ling'er for mercy.

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, who was it? It was either Ma Wenbing or the black-clothed old-timer, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er both thought so.

Tianxiang ran to open the door, it was Ma Wenbing who came, mainly Lord He chatted with the master, he had nowhere to go, but to go to this place to see if Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er had slept.

Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er didn't sleep, Ma Wenbing said, "Why haven't you slept yet? Only when you have enough spirit can you do better, Master He asked me to tell you to rest early." ”

Tianxiang smiled, "How do you sleep? It's just an action at night, there's no need to be so nervous, we must have energy at night." ”

Ma Wenbing smiled, "In that case, I can chat with you here, I really hope you haven't slept." ”

Tianxiang smiled, "What are your master and Master He doing now?

"Those who know me, Tianxiang also!" Ma Wenbing smiled, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Ling'er.

"Yo, when did you become so literary? Those who still know me, Tianxiang also? What does this mean? I don't understand, can you explain it to me. ”

In fact, Liu Ling'er could understand the meaning of this, but she was not convinced, why did she say that Tianxiang knew him, why didn't she say it? Ma Wenbing said this, she was not happy, so she said this.

Ma Wenbing just slipped out of his mouth, he didn't think about it so much, but he was blocked by his senior sister Liu Ling'er, and the explanation was not appropriate, and it was not appropriate to accept it.

Or Tianxiang once again helped Ma Wenbing relieve his embarrassment, and immediately helped and said, "Ling'er, it's just a joke, I didn't take it seriously, why are you still serious? ”

In the past, Tianxiang bathed almost every day, but now the environment is limited, and she can't take a bath once a few days.

Hearing Tianxiang's words, Liu Linger also wanted to take a bath, she was the same as Tianxiang, she hadn't taken a bath for two days, and she smoked it in the kitchen in the afternoon, and now she smelled of oil smoke all over her body, which was too uncomfortable.

Hearing Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er's words, Ma Wenbing immediately said, "Leave this matter to me, I'll boil water for you, and let Zhao Fatzi help us." ”

Ma Wenbing was going to boil water, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er were of course grateful, sent Ma Wenbing out of the door, and then began to turn out the clothes to be changed.

After these were ready, they thought that it would definitely take a long time for Ma Wenbing to boil the water for the two people to take a bath, and they must need help, so the two discussed going to the imperial dining room to help Ma Wenbing, or to see how the boiling water was boiling.

Ma Wenbing left the room, and after arriving at the imperial dining room, he first found the help of Zhao Fatzi, who promised to provide a large bathing bucket, but he also expressed his worries.

There are a lot of men here, so the two girls are very uneasy to take a bath here, in case that person has a bad heart or inadvertently sees it, it's not good, it's also for the sake of the two young girls.

Zhao Fatzi's worry reminded Ma Wenbing, he had to think about this, Ma Wenbing proposed to carry the wooden barrel to Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er's room, but the wooden barrel was too heavy, and several people couldn't carry it out.

You can't bathe without a barrel, but it's a difficult problem to bathe here.

In the end, Zhao Fatzi proposed a solution, that is, to wait for everyone to fall asleep, and it would be safer to let the two girls take a bath at that time.

Ma Wenbing asked, "At least what time is it?"

Zhao Fatzi replied, "At least at eight o'clock in the evening." ”

Ma Wenbing mentally calculated, from eight o'clock to ten o'clock, there are two hours, which is enough, "It's decided, I'll go boil water." ”

Ma Wenbing went into the kitchen to boil water, there is a big black pot here that is just right for boiling water, maybe it is prepared for boiling water, but there is a problem, to fill this black pot, you need to scoop water into it little by little, which takes time.

Just as Ma Wenbing began to scoop water, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er came in, which means that the helper came, and the three of them scooped water faster.

Ma Wenbing first told them that the bath must be after eight o'clock, that is, two hours later, which is also for their safety, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er naturally have nothing to say.

"Boil water for two hours, do you boil water after an hour? Tianxiang said that you can boil this pot of boiling water after an hour.

Liu Ling'er said, "Are the two of you taking a bath together? This is nothing, is that bath bucket big enough?"

Ma Wenbing replied, "It's big enough, I dare to guarantee that you two can wash it together, don't worry." ”

Liu Ling'er looked at it with her feet on her feet, and said, "What about the cold water, how to solve the cold water?"

Hot water needs to be mixed with cold water to be used, which is a must.

Ma Wenbing pointed to a few small buckets beside him, and said, "These buckets can be filled with cold water, we can fill them up, and carry them to the room together when the time comes, whether it is hot or cold, you can add it yourself." ”

Tianxiang said, "Where is the bathing room now?" Can you take me to see it first?"

Ma Wenbing shook his head and said, "Not now, there are people here who need to take a bath, so you can't go, first accompany me here to boil water." ”

Hearing Ma Wenbing's words, Liu Ling'er was shocked and asked, "I heard you right, right? You mean to let us use those men's bath buckets?"

Ma Wenbing replied, "That's right, that's the case, the conditions here are limited, so I can only endure it for the time being, there is no other way." ”

Liu Ling'er had difficulty accepting a man's bath bucket for a while, because she had never tried it, and she didn't know what would happen if she used it, but she felt uncomfortable thinking about it.

Tianxiang said softly, "Ling'er, bear with it, there are no conditions here, do you want them to give us a bath bucket?" This is impossible, we can't take a bath yet, our bodies are starting to stink." ”

Liu Ling'er compromised and said, "Okay, but we have to see what it looks like first, and it depends on the situation at that time, by the way, are you sure that the bathroom room is safe at that time?" We were a little scared. ”

Ma Wenbing said, "I will stay at the door of the room to ensure that no one else will come in, it should be very safe." ”

"It's best this way, if we don't come out, you can't leave for a moment. Liu Ling'er said, "Now let's boil the water, there is no problem at all with boiling now, you see this cauldron, it really can't be boiled in two hours." ”

Ma Wenbing said, "There is no need to boil and bubble, as long as the water temperature is right, let's start doing it, I'll boil the water, and you fill a few buckets with water." ”

So the three of them began to divide their labor, and Ma Wenbing began to light a fire to boil water, which required a lot of briquettes, and Ma Wenbing also brought a lot of briquettes, enough to boil this pot of water.

Ma Wenbing, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er chatted happily while boiling water, and the firelight shone on the faces of the three people, full of happy and happy smiles.

After about an hour, the water in the pot starts to boil, but there is still an hour, so it must be kept on a low heat so that the water in the pot does not cool down.

Ma Wenbing first said, "You two are guarding here, I want to go to the bath room to see if there is anyone else who needs to take a bath, if there is no one else to take a bath, I think I can let you in in advance." ”

Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er nodded, and agreed to let Ma Wenbing go and see first, it would be good to be able to take a bath in advance, and there would be a lot of time left to prepare for the night's action.

Ma Wenbing came out of the kitchen and soon arrived at the bath room, there were five bath buckets in the room, but they were all empty, no one was here, but the ground was wet, it was obvious that someone had just taken a shower and left.

It is filled with the smell of a lot of soap, as well as the smell of stinky shoes and stinky socks, these are the smells of stinky men, if they don't rush it again, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er will definitely not be able to stand it.

Luckily, there was still some water to spare, which they didn't have left, and they were about to take it to rinse both the floor and the tub, just one of the tubs.

Just do it, Ma Wenbing didn't hesitate, for the sake of Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er, he would do anything, because helping them would make him very happy.

Ma Wenbing took about ten minutes, and after rinsing it once, it tasted much better.

Ma Wenbing observed the structure of the whole room again, there were three windows on the back wall, more than a meter high, and felt that it was still a little dangerous, so he found a few pieces of cloth to cover those windows, so that it was foolproof.

After doing this, Ma Wenbing found Zhao Fatzi again, hoping that he could help and not let other people's people come to take a bath, and Zhao Fatzi also agreed to do it, because this is also a flattering thing.

Ma Wenbing returned to the kitchen, told Tianxiang and Liu Linger the good news that they could take a bath, and then took them to the bath room to have a look, although they were not very satisfied, but they were embarrassed to see that Ma Wenbing worked so hard for them, and they were embarrassed not to take a bath.

Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er went back to get a change of clothes first, and then began to scoop water with Ma Wenbing, carrying the hot and cold water to the bathing room, this process was the hardest, mainly completed by Ma Wenbing.

Then, Ma Wenbing stood guard at the door, acting as a guard, and no one was allowed to enter this room.

In the room, Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er shared a bath bucket to take a bath, and they specially prepared some pollen, pouring it into the water to bathe will make the body stained with the fragrance.

Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er took almost an hour to take a bath, and it was already half past nine at this time, which meant that the time left for them to prepare was only half an hour.

Tianxiang and Liu Linger returned to the room directly after taking a bath, and the rest of the tasks such as pouring the bath water were handed over to Ma Wenbing.

The two of them combed their equipment as quickly as possible, put on the clothes of the eunuch on the outside, and put their hair up and hid it in their hats.

After finishing these, it was soon ten o'clock, at this time, the old-timers in black came, kept the appointment on time, and saw that Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er were wearing eunuch clothes, very excited, and begged Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er to take him out to play.

Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er don't have time to explain to the old-timers, this old man has now become a troublemaker, just like an old naughty boy, although he knows that he doesn't have any malicious intentions, but it does make Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er very troublesome.

Fortunately, at this time, Ma Wenbing came and stopped the old-timers in black, so that Tianxiang and Liu Ling'er could go to Liu Yikou's house, and then they and He Yiping rounded, and the three of them went out of the courtyard together to carry out the planned plan.

The old-timers in black were dissuaded by Ma Wenbing, and they were angry and helpless, and they could only hope that another action would be more fun, but when Ma Wenbing said that he was going to dig a big hole in the ground, the old-timers in black were dumbfounded.

"Why do you want to dig a big pit here?" the man in black didn't understand why he did this, this task came too suddenly, and he didn't give notice earlier, if he said it earlier, he might as well bring some digging tools.

"We're going to hide somebody here. Ma Wenbing told him clearly.

Hearing Ma Wenbing say that he wanted to hide someone, the man in black immediately became excited and curious, and hurriedly said, "Tibetan, who are you going to hide? It's so funny, are you hiding the people that the two girls have captured, and who are they going to arrest?"

The old man in black asked several questions in a row because he was too curious.

Ma Wenbing replied, "If you don't hide others, just hide the Lord He you rescued, don't talk about it, let's start doing it." ”
