Lin Shuyun calmly opened her eyes. The room was still dark, and it was still raining outside.

She turned to look at Jiang Changtian sleeping beside her. His face still bore uneven scars, but they had healed and looked less frightening.

Recalling that inexplicable dream, in which the young and handsome general appeared, Lin Shuyun unconsciously touched Jiang Changtian's face.

Jiang Changtian suddenly opened his eyes, a murderous aura flashed across his face, and then disappeared in an instant.

She turned her head and shook off Lin Shuyun's hand, saying in a hoarse voice, "Don't look, it'll scare you."

Lin Shuyun didn't care about his reaction. She grabbed a strand of Jiang Changtian's hair and played with it in her hand, her tone sweet and coquettish.

"If I were afraid, would I be sleeping on the same kang with you? Before my face was injured, you must have been a handsome man, right?"

People who survive the apocalypse have a keen sense of danger.

Lin Shuyun noticed it in just a moment.

Her cheap husband turns out to be quite dangerous.

Unfortunately, she wasn't exactly an easy person to deal with either, so things were going to get interesting from there.

"Husband, will you still want to study in the future?"

Lin Shuyun couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up.

Jiang Changtian was silent for a moment, then said, "If my leg can get better, I will naturally continue my studies, but it will be hard on you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyun chuckled and got off the kang (heated brick bed) to put on her shoes. "Studying is good. Maybe you can become an official in the future. I'm just waiting to become an official's wife."

Jiang Changtian did not respond.

Just as Lin Shuyun was about to leave, Jiang Changtian's voice came from behind her.

"Alright, if that day ever comes, I will surely repay your kindness."

repay?

Lin Shuyun smiled again, opened the door, and went out.

It was dark inside the house, but it was already quite daylight in the yard. The rain wasn't heavy; it had turned into a light drizzle.

Lin Shuyun added some hay to the donkey under the shed, then picked up the basket in the yard and went out.

Rain is the perfect time for mushroom picking, and she plans to hunt a few pheasants to make chicken and mushroom noodle soup.

I've been craving this, and a rainy day is perfect for it.

The rain had stopped as soon as Lin Shuyun arrived in the mountains, and she quickly began picking mushrooms with her head down.

By the time the sun came out, Lin Shuyun had already carried a basket of mushrooms down the mountain, with two pheasants at the bottom of the basket.

When I got to the foot of the mountain, I met several women from the same village who were also picking mushrooms with their children.

Lin Shuyun didn't pick them up at the foot of the mountain because she thought there weren't enough here, so she went straight into the mountain.

"Jiang family, you went into the mountains before the rain stopped, didn't you?"

Third Aunt's daughter-in-law was also there and greeted Lin Shuyun when she saw her.

They all recognized Lin Shuyun after watching the commotion at the Jiang family's door that day.

Lin Shuyun's clothes were half-wet, and the mushrooms in her basket were sprouting, indicating that she had entered the mountains very early.

Lin Shuyun smiled and nodded, "Yes, there's no food left at home."

The third aunt's daughter-in-law sighed upon hearing this, "Ah, it's not easy for a newlywed like you."

Another woman next to her stared enviously at the basket on Lin Shuyun's back.

"You filled a whole basket? Where did you find it? Tell us where it is!"

Goodness, this is a huge termite mushroom!

This tastes so good! Why aren't they so lucky?

Lin Shuyun turned her head and pointed to the deep mountains, "In the mountains, there's firewood all below and mushrooms above. How can you possibly fill a whole basket with mushrooms?"

The woman immediately stopped being envious after hearing this, saying, "There are big things in there. You, a woman, are very brave to go into the mountains."

Lin Shuyun didn't want to waste time, so she smiled and said, "I won't talk to my sisters-in-law and aunts anymore. My husband is still waiting for me at home."

Seeing Lin Shuyun's slender figure carrying a large basket on her back, the woman who had been envious earlier couldn't help but speak up.

"Women shouldn't be too beautiful, because beautiful women usually have a hard life."

"That's right. Lin Shi has suffered so much since she just married into the family. Her life will definitely be even more difficult in the future."

"..."

Lin Shuyun ignored what the people behind her were saying and went home with her basket on her back.

Smoke is coming out of the chimney at home.

Lin Shuyun thought the kitchen was on fire, so she rushed to the kitchen and saw Old Man Xu busy at the stove.

"Girl, you're back! Go change and come eat some pancakes."

Old Xu changed into Jiang Changtian's old clothes. Although the clothes didn't fit, he made himself look quite clean and no longer like a dirty beggar.

Right now, he's rolling up his sleeves and making pancakes in the pan, and there are two more pancakes on the stove.

"Can you still cook?"

Lin Shuyun was genuinely a little surprised.

Old Xu said proudly, "You little girl, you underestimate me. I can thread a needle too. I've told you before, although I can eat a lot, I can also do chores. You won't lose out at all by recognizing me as your uncle."

"Your clothes are all wet, go and change them quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

"That's definitely not a loss."

Lin Shuyun put down her basket, took a pancake from the stove, and ate it as she went back into the house.

The room next door was given to Uncle Xu, so it was inconvenient for her to go in and change clothes.

So I went to Jiang Changtian's room to change.

"you……"

As Lin Shuyun lifted the curtain and entered, Jiang Changtian was about to look up and speak when he saw her turn her back to his clothes without saying a word.

Wearing wet clothes is quite uncomfortable, even though they're not completely soaked.

Jiang Changtian saw her fair back and immediately looked away, his face burning with embarrassment.

This woman, he's still here, doesn't she have any shame at all?

Lin Shuyun didn't feel ashamed at all.

She wasn't naked; she had a small bib on and pants on her lower body.

Compared to those hot bikini-clad beauties, what's so special about this?

It's really unusual.

Lin Shuyun quickly changed her clothes and turned to the naive Jiang Changtian, saying, "I just heard from Uncle Xu that you've already eaten. Husband, let's go, I'll take you to get acupuncture."

Yin Han said that after seven consecutive days of acupuncture, there's no need to go anymore.

Jiang Changtian tried to suppress the heat on his face and moved to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

Lin Shuyun found him too slow and simply carried him out.

Jiang Changtian's face flushed again.

Lin Shuyun stood in the yard and called out to Old Man Xu, whose voice came from the kitchen.

"You all go ahead, I'm not going, I'll stay here and watch the house."

Lin Shuyun casually said, "Uncle Xu, please clean up those two pheasants. When you come back, we'll have chicken soup. While you're at it, please sweep the yard clean too."

"Are you treating this old man like a maid?"

Old Xu immediately appeared at the kitchen doorway, blowing his beard and glaring.

This girl really doesn't hold back at all.

"I'll get you two ounces of wine when I get back."

As soon as Lin Shuyun finished speaking, Old Man Xu's face instantly turned into a smile.

"Alright, my dear niece and nephew-in-law, you can go out without worry. I'll take good care of things at home."

Jiang Changtian couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Just as the donkey cart left, Old Xu chased after it, carrying half a bunch of mushrooms. "We can't finish all of these. Keep half, or we can sell the other half. Otherwise, you won't have money to buy me wine."

He wasn't comfortable with this girl; she might come back and say she had no money. So he took precautions beforehand and made sure she didn't give him any excuses to fool him.

Lin Shuyun raised an eyebrow and placed the basket on the donkey cart, intending to give it to Doctor Yang later.

The donkey cart swayed and rattled through the village, becoming the talk of the town among the women.

……

……

Upon arriving in the town, we passed through the market area.

Lin Shuyun spotted a low-key, unassuming carriage driven by the same boy who sold bamboo baskets yesterday, but today he was wearing a high-quality long gown.

A horse-drawn carriage and a donkey cart passed each other by.

The boy with the bamboo basket also saw Lin Shuyun.
