After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 6

He knew the woman before him wanted to escape, but so what? Although the house was dilapidated, it was surrounded by walls. He stood at the door, thinking firmly in his heart, I want to see where she can run to.

Luo Shuiyao turned around, and the smile on her face instantly vanished. She frowned slightly and followed the familiar smell toward the corner. Then, pretending to squat on the ground to use the restroom, she gathered a handful of fallen flowers from under a tree in the moonlight. She also plucked two blades of grass from the roots.

She turned and glanced, noticing that Li Tiezhu seemed quite relieved, leaning against the door, his head tilted back, lost in thought, completely oblivious to her. This was a perfect situation, so she quickly wrapped the flowers in a handkerchief she had brought with her and tucked it into her lapel. Then, she pretended to tidy her clothes, adjusting them as she walked out.

Luo Shuiyao's footsteps caught Li Tiezhu's attention, and he looked over. Luo Shuiyao smiled sweetly and said, "Brother, I'm done. Where can I wash my hands?"

Li Tiezhu raised his chin to indicate, and Luo Shuiyao followed his gaze and saw a well in the corner of the yard with a bucket next to it. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and continued to maintain her sweet smile.

After washing their hands, the two entered the house. At this time, Wang Jinzi was already standing beside him with a bowl of water. When he saw Luo Shuiyao come in, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Sister, the water you asked for."

Luo Shuiyao took the water, said "eh" in disgust, frowned and said: "Why is it cold? You can't drink cold water, don't you know, brother? You have to drink hot water, drinking cold water will make you sick." There was a bit of coquettishness in her tone, and her slightly pouting lips showed her dissatisfaction.

A flicker of annoyance flickered across Li Tiezhu's eyes. This woman's constant little tricks were truly annoying. But it didn't matter. The night was long, and he had plenty of time to deal with her. He always loved to admire the look in someone's eyes as they shifted from hope to utter despair.

Luo Shuiyao naturally sensed Li Tiezhu's annoyance. She simply ignored him and turned to Wang Jinzi, saying in a sweet voice, "Brother Jinzi, can you accompany me to boil some water?"

Wang Jinzi looked at her pretty face at this moment, his heart was filled with joy. He could only giggle and hurriedly replied, "Okay."

Luo Shuiyao's lips curled up slightly, barely perceptibly, and she naturally pulled Wang Jinzi away. Li Tiezhu stood behind them, his brows knitted into knots, but he ultimately didn't speak to stop them.

Luo Shuiyao followed Wang Jinzi and discovered that there was a small thatched shed not far from the room. There was a set of pots and pans inside, which looked like a place for cooking.

She asked casually, "Is this your home?"

Wang Jinzi didn't notice anything unusual and replied naturally, "No, this is Li Tiezhu's house. Ours is over there."

Luo Shuiyao narrowed her eyes slightly and continued, "Then Brother Jinzi, take me to your house, okay?"

Li Tiezhu turned around abruptly, his eyes filled with alarm. Luo Shuiyao blinked innocently, as if she didn't understand why he was so angry. In the end, Wang Jinzi didn't notice anything and just smiled, "It's not convenient at our house. It's more convenient to play at Li Tiezhu's house."

"Okay then, let's not go to Brother Jinzi's house today. Let's just play at Brother Tiezhu's house and then go to your Brother Jinzi's house tomorrow, okay?" Luo Shuiyao tilted her head and looked at Wang Jinzi with anticipation.

Wang Jinzi smiled foolishly and quickly responded, "Okay."

There were a few bundles of hay beside the kitchen stove. Wang Jinzi easily lit the hay and threw it into the stove. Then, he picked up the large iron pot next to it, scooped up a spoonful of water and poured it into the pot.

When Luo Shuiyao saw this, a light flashed in her eyes, and she looked at the place not far away and exclaimed "Ah".

Wang Jinzi immediately turned around and looked over there, "What's wrong?"

Luo Shuiyao pretended to be scared and shrank behind him. "Brother Jinzi, look over there, there's a shiny thing over there. Do you think it could be a ghost?"

Wang Jinzi said nonchalantly, "Ghost? Where are the ghosts? There are no ghosts in the world."

But when he saw Luo Shuiyao hiding behind him and shivering, he finally said, "Okay, you watch over and boil the water, I'll go take a look."

As he said that, he walked towards the direction Luo Shuiyao pointed. Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao immediately took out the flowers and plants hidden in her arms, rubbed them hard and squeezed a few drops of juice into them.

He washed his hands with water from the bucket next to him, stuffed the crumbs into his clothes, and then hid in a corner as if afraid.

Wang Jinzi walked halfway and found nothing but a cat's eyes gleaming in the night. He couldn't help but smile and came back to her and said, "Sister, it was just a cat. Don't be afraid."

Luo Shuiyao seemed to be relieved and patted her chest, "Oh, I was scared to death!" Wang Jinzi's eyes were glued to her plump chest. He rubbed his hands instantly, and his expression became even more silly.

At this time, Luo Shuiyao looked at the water that was about to boil next to her and said, "Hey, brother, why is the water this color?"

Wang Jinzi leaned over and saw that the water in the pot had turned slightly brown. He scratched his head and asked, "What's going on? The water was clear just now."

Luo Shuiyao walked to the side of the bucket and pretended to have just realized: "Brother, the water just now was not clean, you see the water in this bucket is also one color.

"Why don't we..." she suggested, "Why don't we just not use this water and get some new water to boil."

Wang Jinzi was a little impatient: "It's okay, just drink this water. It might be a little unclean because it's been sitting there for a few days. But it doesn't matter if you boil it, as long as it's drinkable."

Luo Shuiyao pursed her lips in disgust, but didn't say anything else.

The water was soon boiled, and Wang Jinzi gestured for her to blow on it and drink a few sips quickly.

Luo Shuiyao pretended to be shy and said, "Brother, you have worked hard all the way without any water. Why don't you divide the water into three parts and I will drink some with each of you? Otherwise..." She lowered her head shyly, and the rest of her words were suppressed in her unfinished words.

When Wang Jinzi heard this, he was delighted and nodded in agreement quickly.

The water was divided into three portions and left outside to dry for a while before being brought back into the house. Li Tiezhu was already impatient waiting when he opened the door. Just as he was about to leave, he saw two people coming in. He looked at the bowls in their hands with a puzzled look. Before he could speak, Luo Shuiyao stepped forward and said, "Brother, let's each drink some of this water. Otherwise, you'll be too tired to wait for a while."

As she spoke, she once again lowered her head shyly. Li Tiezhu looked at her delicate face, his impatience growing stronger. He swallowed and said, "Okay." He took the bowl, found it wasn't too hot, and drank half of it in one gulp. Wang Jinzi, who was standing next to him, saw him drink it and drank it himself.

Li Tiezhu smacked his lips and said, "What's going on? Why does this water taste weird?"

Wang Jinzi waved his hand and said, "That's enough. This water has been sitting there for a few days, so it might not be very good. But it's okay. It won't kill you."

Li Tiezhu frowned, but ultimately said nothing. The two turned their gazes to Luo Shuiyao, who smiled at them and drank all the water in the bowl. Afterwards, she coughed forcefully, covering her mouth as if she had choked.

Wang Jinzi was a bit bewildered and stepped forward to pat her on the back. After coughing for a while, Luo Shuiyao looked at the two of them shyly and said, "Brother, this good night is rare, why don't we go to bed? So, who of you two will go first?"

Wang Jinzi immediately glanced at Li Tiezhu with a wary look. "You were the first to come the last few times. This time, it's my turn, right?"

Li Tiezhu felt his lower abdomen swell up and said hurriedly, "No, I'll go first, you can come later."

Wang Jinzi was unwilling to accept this and stepped forward to argue with him. Luo Shuiyao quickly stopped them, "Alright, brothers." Her voice was charming and attractive, "How about we play a game?"

Li Tiezhu was getting impatient. "You already said a good night is rare, why are you still playing games?"

Luo Shuiyao stretched out her jade finger and gently poked his chest, saying in a charming tone, "Brother, have you ever played the game played by the emperor? How about we play the game played by the emperor?"

Tiezhu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her with curiosity.

Luo Shuiyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes, "Why don't we play a game of I run and you catch me this time? Whoever catches me will come first, okay?" Her voice was soft and charming, making it hard to refuse.
