Chapter 5: Out of the Forest
On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Chen Xiao woke up.
When she woke up, she found herself covered with a piece of clothing.
She turned her head to look at Chunhong, who was also covered with a piece of clothing.
What about Fang Yuren?
There were only two of them beside the extinguished fire, and Fang Yu was nowhere to be seen.
"Fang Yu, Fang Yu!"
Chen Xiao got up and shouted around.
"I'm taking a shower here!"
Behind the big rock not far below the stream, Fang Yu's voice was heard.
Oh, the people are still there.
She looked at the clothes in her hand.
Last night, he praised him as a "kind gentleman", and he was really a gentleman, so he took off another piece of clothing and covered her.
Ah, wouldn't he have no clothes to wear?
This night, he ......
"Miss Chen, can you help me bring that dress on you?"
Fang Yu shouted behind the big rock.
Chen Xiao walked over with his clothes, stood behind the stones, where Fang Yu couldn't be seen, and stretched out his hand to hand over the clothes.
"Here you go."
"I can't reach it." Fang Yudao.
Chen Xiao moved forward again.
"Out of reach."
Fang Yu smiled: "What are you afraid of!" I wasn't naked. ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiao took a step forward with confidence, and the result was ......
He was not "naked", but he was naked.
Isn't this still naked!
Of course, for a modern person, seeing a shirtless man is nothing.
The skin on Fang Yu's face was a healthy wheat color, but the skin on his body was very white. Chen Xiao saw his muscular figure, strong chest, and six-pack abs in his abdomen.
It's so sexy!
Chen Xiao turned his head in embarrassment all of a sudden.
"Here you go."
She threw her clothes to Fang Yu, turned around and left.
This kid, he's seducing me.
Chen Xiao felt that he was deliberately showing it to her.
Fang Yu took the clothes and smiled. Actually, he still had a shirt, but he didn't wear it.
The ancients wore clothes, underwear, underwear, and outer clothing.
A liner is an undergarment, worn in the innermost.
The middle coat is worn on top of the undergarment. Generally, if you are in a house, it is enough to wear a medium coat. Outerwear is worn when going out. Just like we usually wear t-shirts at home and coats when we go out.
Speaking of which, Chen Xiao wore a T-shirt, according to the dressing method of the ancients, she belonged to the middle coat.
Of course, in a place like South Vietnam, where there is a high temperature all year round, people generally do not wear outer clothes except for formal occasions. That's the custom here. Because it's too hot.
Chunhong also woke up at this time, she got up and moved her limbs, and went to the upper reaches of the stream to wash her face.
"Last night was the best night I slept on."
Her face was full of satisfaction. Before, she thought she was going to die in the mountains. Unexpectedly, I met these two.
Fang Yu got dressed, walked over and picked up the baggage and water bladder, and said:
"Now that we're all awake, let's go. Find something to eat on the way. ”
"Thank you, Brother Fang, for your clothes."
Chunhong was a little shy and handed the clothes back to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu tucked his coat into his baggage.
"Oh, I've got some food here."
Chen Xiao remembered the compressed biscuits in his pocket and took them out to distribute them to everyone.
Chunhong asked:
"What is this?"
"It's chow mein pressed into a cake."
Chen Xiao made up a statement at random.
Chunhong didn't doubt him, so she took it and ate it.
Fang Yu took the compressed biscuit, looked at it, stuffed it into the baggage, and said:
"Let's go!"
The three of them followed the mountain stream all the way down.
Among the three, Fang Yu had the best physical strength, followed by Chunhong. Chen Xiao is dragging his feet.
But neither of them said anything, stopping from time to time to wait for her.
At noon, they found a place to rest and drink water, and Chunhong handed Chen Xiao a handful of weeds and leaves, saying that they could be eaten.
Chen Xiao looked at the weeds and leaves, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
At this time, Fang Yu took out compressed biscuits from his baggage and handed them to her.
"Eat this."
"No, you don't."
Chen Xiao waved his hand. His smelly clothes were put together with compressed biscuits, and there must have been a smell on the biscuits.
She took the wild vegetable leaves from Chunhong's hand, washed them by the stream, and then put them in her mouth and tasted them.
It's a little bitter, but it's cool and bitter, and the taste is okay.
She had been to ethnic minority areas in the southwest before, where strange wild plants were often used as dishes. I thought it was strange at first taste, but I thought it tasted good after eating it a few times.
Fang Yu saw that she didn't want the dry food in his hand, so he picked it up and ate it himself. As soon as I handed it to my mouth, I smelled it......
He looked at the baggage in disgust. It shouldn't be in it.
The three ate something, drank water, and continued on their way.
Afternoon.
Halfway up the hill, they finally saw the terraced fields.
Having terraces means having people.
The three of them were immediately very excited, and went down the mountain along the terraces.
Finally saw the house.
It is a small village in a mountain col with about twenty families.
At this time, someone was working in the fields, and Fang Yu asked Chunhong to ask who could take them in for a night.
After he finished speaking, he handed Chunhong a piece of broken silver.
Chunhong was holding the broken silver, and her eyes were straight.
There's a tael of this piece of silver!
She knew what Brother Fang meant by giving her broken silver, so she immediately went to ask.
Chen Xiao saw that Fang Yu actually had silver, and curiously looked at him again from beginning to end.
He is not an ordinary person at first glance, so he ...... It is not surprising that there is silver.
After a while, Chunhong returned. She said there were families who could stay overnight.
The three of them walked towards the house.
Most of the houses in the mountainous areas of Nanyue have wooden walls and thatched roofs, and in this small village, Chen Xiao has not seen a single household with tiled roofs.
They walked to a house, where a dark-skinned woman in her thirties was already waiting in front of the door.
The woman was stunned when she saw what Chen Xiao and Fang Yu were wearing.
Chunhong said: "They are foreigners. ”
"Oh, please be a nobleman!"
The woman enthusiastically and somewhat shyly led them into the house.
Stepping into the room, it was dimly lit. Because of the fire that has been lit in the house for many years, the walls and beams of the house are smoked black everywhere. Chen Xiao came in for a while before he got used to the light inside.
The conditions of this home are very basic.
There was a low square table and a few low stools in the room. There is a fire pit on the ground on one side of the house, and pots and pans are placed next to it. On the other side, there are wooden planks, which are more than 20 centimeters higher than the ground, like tatami mats.
There was a futon on the board, and it looked like it was about a "bed".
"Auntie, let's go and eat!" Chunhong is humane to the hostess.
She may have told someone that she would eat and live in a bag, and the woman had no objection and immediately responded to the call to eat.
"Chunhong!" Fang Yu shouted.
"What's the matter? Brother Fang. Chunhong was going to help the woman.
"Ask her if she has any chickens, and if not, ask somebody. Kill a chicken stew. ”
"Okay, Brother Fang."
Chunhong immediately asked the woman happily.
Chen Xiao looked at the pots and pans by the fire.
Chickens, there will definitely be. When she came over, she saw that some people had chickens.
As for the taste...... In this poor country, there is no hope.
However, good ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods. You only need to put salt in the chicken broth.
"I'm a little tired and want to lie down." Chen Xiao said to Fang Yu.
"Okay, I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Fang Yu's tone was gentle, as if they had some different relationship.
In fact, we don't know each other!
