Chapter 40

After bending down and entering the cave, Song Xi realized that there was something else in the cave.

The height of the cave was about two meters. After entering, she did not have to bend down anymore and could freely stretch and jump.

Zhou Yi lit the candles in the cave and it gave Song Xi the feeling of a wedding night. Could it be that tonight Zhou Yi wanted to…

At the thought of this, Song Xi became nervous.

Although she knew that they would reach this point one day, she still had the illusion of a modern marriage. She felt that some things should not be done too quickly.

Zhou Yi scooped up a full lunch box of water with an aluminum lunch box and took a sip. The sweet taste was even better than well water. After drinking half of the lunch box, he felt that there was no problem with the water, so he handed it to Song Xi.

“Wife, try it. This water is sweet and tastes better than well water.”

Song Xi knew that when farmers were farming, many people drank water from the fields or even the streams.

That was because there were no industrial exhaust gases in this era, nor were there waste pollution, pesticides, plastic pollution, and so on. The water in the fields could be drunk, so the spring water in the mountains was naturally more potable.

Song Xi did not reject Zhou Yi’s good intentions and reached out to take the lunch box from him.

She took a small sip and realized that the water was indeed quite sweet. It was better than boiled well water and better than the spring water and mineral water in her supermarket.

Song Xi couldn’t help but drink it in big gulps. Then, as if she couldn’t control herself, she kept drinking until she drank six lunch boxes and her stomach was round.

This water…

Song Xi vaguely felt that the water made her internal organs feel warm and especially comfortable. Moreover, her body was especially light and did not feel heavy at all. This water seemed to be good for her body.

Could it be that this was a spiritual spring that only protagonists in era novels could have? It could beautify one’s appearance, nourish one’s body, and extend one’s life?

But wasn’t that the spiritual spring space?

How could a single spiritual spring appear here?

“Wife, are you so thirsty?” Seeing that Song Xi had drunk so much water, Zhou Yi glanced at her stomach worriedly, afraid that her stomach would burst.

Actually, he had just reminded her, but she was focused on drinking the water, as if she did not hear his voice.

Facing Zhou Yi’s unbelievable eyes, Song Xi was instantly embarrassed. She did not expect her self-control to be so bad. She could not help but drink so much water when she encountered such delicious water.

On the other hand, Zhou Yi’s self-control was so good that he could actually reject such temptation. Was Zhou Yi’s self-control good or was Zhou Yi used to drinking such delicious water, so he did not feel anything else?

“Brother Yi, there are mosquitoes in the cave. Can I trouble Brother Yi to go out and find two mosquito-repelling herbs?” Song Xi decided to divert Zhou Yi’s and collect some mountain spring water. She would go back and study it to see if this mountain spring water had a special effect.

Zhou Yi was from the mountains. He should know very well what herbs could ward off mosquitoes.

Zhou Yi took the flashlight from Song Xi’s hand and got up to leave. Seeing that the light of the flashlight was getting further and further away from her, Song Xi hurriedly went to the supermarket to get a big white bucket with a capacity of 2,000 catties and a red plastic bucket.

Just like that, she poured the mountain spring water into the big white buckets one by one. It was unknown if Zhou Yi could not find the mosquito-repelling herbs or what, but Song Xi had already filled two big white buckets of mountain spring water, but Zhou Yi had yet to return.

Song Xi put the two big white buckets filled with mountain spring water into the staff dining room of the supermarket, closed the lid, and came out.

Just as she was about to rush out to look for Zhou Yi, she saw a ball of light from the flashlight slowly moving over from not far away. Only then did Song Xi relax.

It was good that nothing had happened.

“Wife, how are you? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?” Zhou Yi returned to the cave in a hurry. He held Song Xi’s hand and sized her up from head to toe worriedly.

“I…” Song Xi was about to speak when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Could this be the aftereffect of the ‘spiritual spring’?

Then why did she react slower than Zhou Yi when she drank more?

Could it be that the spiritual spring had first nursed her deficient body before helping her detoxify?

With this thought in mind, it was understandable.

“Brother Yi, I want to…” Song Xi could not bring herself to say the words ‘go to the toilet’. How could there be a toilet in the wilderness? She could only find a place to settle it. This was really an extremely awkward thing.

Zhou Yi, who had just experienced it, understood what Song Xi meant. He hurriedly took out a ball of papyrus from his pocket and stuffed it into Song Xi’s hand. Then, he pulled Song Xi out of the cave.

Fortunately, he was prepared. He thought that something would inevitably happen when they were out for a few hours, so he stuffed a ball of straw paper into his pocket. Because there was not much papyrus, he could not bear to use it just now.

The people in the mountains did not have money or tickets to buy papyrus, so most of them used leaves to settle it. Those who could use straw paper had tried their best to buy some.

Zhou Yi had only bought the papyrus after Song Xi came to the house. He could not let his delicate wife use rough leaves.

“Brother Yi, I’ll go myself. Just wait for me in the cave.” Song Xi pushed away Zhou Yi, who wanted to accompany her. She held her stomach with one hand and held the flashlight with the other as she walked forward through the gaps between the trees.

How could she let someone else accompany her when it was so awkward to have diarrhea? She was not afraid of the smell, but she was afraid of suffocating him!

Song Xi walked for a few minutes before she found a small grove that could cover her. She squatted behind the grove and put down the flashlight. She flashed into the supermarket and quickly ran into the bathroom.

This ‘spiritual spring water’ could be said to be a top-notch laxative. She had to poop ten times before it stopped. However, its effects were even more comfortable than a full-body spa!

Song Xi quickly came out of the supermarket and appeared behind the bushes. She picked up the flashlight on the ground and hurried to the cave to meet Zhou Yi.

Seeing that Song Xi had returned, Zhou Yi hurriedly went forward and held Song Xi’s hand. He was worried. “How is it? Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Song Xi patted the back of his hand with a hint of comfort. This man was too concerned about her and she could not ignore him. She had never met anyone who valued her so much in the modern world!

Even her parents, who had divorced early, had never valued her so much. Of course, after she transmigrated here, they might value her more when they fought for inheritance.

“Then hurry up and soak in the hot spring. We still have to go home to cook the frogs!” Seeing that Song Xi was really fine and did not look like there was anything wrong with her, Zhou Yi finally heaved a sigh of relief and brought Song Xi to the natural hot spring.
