After crossing over: kidnapping a female hunter to be the stepfather of the three cubs

After finishing his meal, Zhao Huanxi was not in a hurry to rest. Except for the herbs that he had brought back for drying and storage, the rest had to be planted quickly.

So he put the kitchen in order and went downstairs with a lantern.

At that time, Yu Yan finished planting the orchids and went to wash up and rest. Xu Qingzhao also said goodbye and went home, maybe to feed the horses.

The light from the lantern was a little dim, but combined with the moonlight, it was enough to illuminate this small area while digging holes and digging the soil.

"Huanhuan, why aren't you asleep yet? I'm here."

Xu Qingzhao's voice came from under the eaves. Zhao Huanxi looked up and saw a tall figure stepping towards him in the light, just like in a Korean drama...

She smiled and said, "Qing Zhao, since you are here, let's come together. Let's plant it together."

When Xu Qingzhao returned, he found Huanxi's bedroom door open and no one inside. Just as he was wondering if something had happened, he heard a noise coming from the backyard.

When I went out, I saw Huanxi holding a small lantern and planting medicinal herbs with a hoe.

Xu Qingzhao put down the lantern in his hand, took Huanxi's hoe and started digging the hole.

"Some herbs need deep holes, while others need shallower ones. The spaces between the two should be far apart. They can't be too close together, otherwise it will be difficult to apply fertilizer later."

She pointed at the ground like a landlady, while Xu Qingzhao shot wherever he pointed like a scope. Huanxi still felt the pace was too slow, so she went to get a hoe and finished planting the herbs in a cup of tea.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qingzhao. I boiled some water in the pot before I left. Let's go back and take a shower. I stink so much that I can't sleep."

Xu Qingzhao picked up two hoes and happily carried the basket on her back, feeling a bit like a woman farming and weaving.

They went into the kitchen, added two pieces of firewood to the pot, and boiled water in several large pots. The two sat down and chatted for a while, and the water became hot.

He took a wooden bucket, filled it with boiling water and poured it into the bathtub in the bathroom.

He brought a few more buckets of cold water to mix it up. After testing the water temperature, Zhao Huanxi called Xu Qingzhao over to take a bath.

I am really tired all day today. I left home at around five in the morning and it is almost ten o'clock now. I will take a shower and get straight into bed. Just thinking about it makes me feel comfortable.

Xu Qingzhao had just hurried back to get his change of clothes and brought a small package with him.

"Huanhuan, here."

Huanxi was confused, but still opened the small package and saw that it was the small silver hairpin that Da Sun had given her and then taken back after being rejected.

"Qing Zhao, what are you doing? You can't accept rewards without merit."

She held the small silver hairpin and thought of the jade hairpin Xu Qingzhao had given her. It was still lying in the box and had never been taken out.

"I picked it out especially for you. I think...it will look great on you..."

She didn't dare look at Huanxi's face, lowered her head slightly and looked away, feeling that all her courage was gone after saying this.

Huanxi looked at her and couldn't help laughing. He handed the hairpin to her and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take it. Can you put it on me and see if it looks good?"

Xu Qingzhao's eyes instantly sparkled, and the hand holding the hairpin trembled slightly. It wasn't the first time she had close contact with Huanxi, but wearing a hairpin...

Huanxi thought this was normal, after all, it was just a matter of seeing whether it looked good or not.

But what Xu Qingzhao was thinking about was "The curved jade hairpin gives me love as deep as the sea. Even though we are far apart, my heart will always be with you."

Only newlyweds and tokens of love would wear hairpins in each other's hair. Huanxi should know this...but does she know? ...

She gently stroked Huanxi's hair, which was like willow branches brushing across the water in the morning light, extremely soft, and each strand exuded a faint fragrance. She carefully inserted the silver hairpin into Huanxi's bun.

At that moment, their eyes met, and Huanxi suddenly remembered that this was in ancient times, and only couples would wear hair in a knot.

She pushed the blushing Xu Qingzhao into the bathroom without saying anything, and said hesitantly:

"You...you wash first...I'll come back later."

After saying that, he ran to his bedroom and looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

Huanxi in the mirror was seen with a face as red as a monkey's butt and her hair was all askew. As for the hairpin that Xu Qingzhao had inserted into her hair, she had to turn her head several times before she found it.

"What are you wearing? I can't even see it. It's just a lonely sight."

She cupped her cheeks with both hands and looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't like to dress up, she just did whatever she felt comfortable with.

But after all, she was a woman, and she wanted to look pretty. But there were so many things to do, from hunting in the mountains to working in the fields. At most, she would wear nice clothes on her free time, and that would be considered a way to make herself look good.

In this era, women used very little cosmetics. They mostly used lead powder as a base, rouge as lipstick, and flower ornaments as decoration.

If I really bought it, I really wouldn’t know how to use it.

I really envy Yu Yan's looks. It's not an exaggeration to describe her as "a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally free of embellishment." Without any adornments, just with her hair tied up, she's already incredibly beautiful.

As for herself, although her eyes were big, a bit like almond eyes and phoenix eyes, her nose was also high and straight, her mouth was a bit too small, and she wished it were a little bigger... and her chin a little longer. She imagined in the mirror pinching her face, and it would be best if it could look like Bingbing, that would be a blessing.

This body is only nineteen years old, and it seems that there is still some immaturity on the face. In fact, if you look closely, it seems quite attractive. Who cares? As long as you like it, that's fine.

At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Huanhuan, I'm done washing, and the water has been changed. You can just go in and wash."

When she went out, she saw Xu Qingzhao wearing a clean white fur coat and wiping his long black hair that looked like a waterfall with a towel.

Since she had just taken a shower, her hair was still half dry and fell naturally on her shoulders. Under the dim light, she looked... quite seductive.

I was so happy that I didn't expect this woman to look so good with her hair down. She usually wears her hair in a crown, and this is the first time she has her hair down, and the wet hair is so alluring...

"Huanhuan?"

Xu Qingzhao looked at Huanxi who was in a daze in front of him and waved his hand in front of her.

"Ah, I'm going to take a shower. You should get some rest early."

After saying that, he ran away.

Looking at Huanxi's back, Xu Qingzhao couldn't help laughing. She was very confident in her looks, otherwise some of the girls in the village wouldn't have insisted on marrying her.

Just now, I spent a lot of time tidying myself up in front of the mirror in the bathroom before coming out to find a pose to show off to Huanxi... But judging from Huanxi's expression, she must have taken the bait.

She sat on a stool under the eaves. It was the hottest day of July, and it wasn't very cold even at night. She sat there looking at the stars and the moon in the sky while wiping her hair.

"Lovers complain about the long nights, and yearn for their lover all night long. Huanxi, can you understand my feelings?"

She murmured softly, but unfortunately Huanxi's mind was now filled with the temptation of her wet hair, and she couldn't hear what was said outside.

However, there was one person who saw Xu Qingzhao in the corridor, feeling lonely and pitiful. It was unknown what was in his eyes.
