Chapter 152 The Open Air Bath
Chapter 152: Open-air Wind
The human faces and peach blossoms complement each other.
Wang Zhuo recorded this beautiful moment with a camera. After returning, he didn't need any decorations, and it was even more beautiful than the photos taken in the best studio.
The peaches in Taoyuan Village are big and sweet and delicious. Although they can’t be eaten this season, they won’t doubt this after drinking peach wine. Unfortunately, the transportation in the village is too poor and peaches cannot be transported out at all. The only value is to make peach meat wine, carve peach pits into small handicrafts and wholesale them outside to make some money.
Such good resources are wasted so in vain. Wang Zhuo and Qi Fei and Guan Yingying both felt deeply sorry. Even if they could not transport fresh peaches, the peach meat was made into canned or juice, and the peach blossoms were processed into essential oils or spices, which had certain added value. But now, let alone peaches, Taoyuan Village could not even use peaches, and only a small part of the wine was used to ferment the extras, and all the extras were fermented in warm kilns to feed the pigs.
After passing through the peach forest, you will arrive at the back slope of the mountain. A steamy place at the foot of the mountain is the hot spring.
Looking down from the mountain, I saw a cluster of dense shrubs that separated several hot spring pools in a staggered manner. The spring pools were made of bluestone everywhere in Taoyuan Village. They were large and small, surrounded by steam, and were unreal.
"Just hang your clothes on the peach tree next to the pool, others will know that someone has used this pool." Meng Shengnan introduced with a smile: "When you come to play, you should pay attention."
Guan Yingying jumped excitedly and shouted: "That's great, Wang Zhuo, go back and help us get the swimsuit."
"Wear clothes? This is not OK." Meng Shengnan said unexpectedly: "Aunt Guan, the rules passed down by the elders are that you cannot wear clothes in hot springs, wash clothes, and have great pain. Women with menstruation cannot use hot springs. These rules must be followed."
There are quite a lot of rules. Guan Yingying was so amused that she tried to defend herself: "But swimsuits are not considered clothes."
Meng Shengnan shook his head: "I don't know what a swimsuit is, but I can't wear anything on my body, and I can't wear it with a towel."
This is the rule set by the voyeurism... Guan Yingying and Qi Fei looked at each other and heard Meng Shengnan say, "My grandma said that hot springs are treasures given to Taoyuan people by the mountain god. Every time you wash the hot springs, you will be reborn. Therefore, wearing clothes is disrespectful to the mountain gods and will bring disaster to the village."
They all rose to a height that concerns the safety of the whole village! The two women were immediately discouraged. To put it, this swimsuit must not be worn!
"Oh, I follow the local customs. Besides, I think this rule makes sense. What's the point of wearing a swimsuit? Haha."
After being rolled, Wang Zhuo chuckled with a stinky face.
"What should I do, Yingying?" Qi Fei was embarrassed.
"No one should have peeped at me, my fellow villagers are very simple?" Guan Yingying hesitated.
"With me, the flower protector, you can play with you with confidence, and no one will peek!" Wang Zhuo slapped his chest.
"What I'm afraid of is that you are robbing yourself."
There are only more than 300 people in Taoyuan Village. At this time, some are herding sheep, some are quarrying, and some are fishing. Almost all have serious work. So when Wang Zhuo and his friends came to the hot spring, there were only a few scattered spring pools hanging in front of them, and most of them were empty.
Meng Shengnan found four small wooden basins from somewhere, each of them divided one, and demonstrated that they could sit upside down as a stool, turn them over and scoop water, put them on their heads to make shields, and use them to fight with others.
Of course, that is a trick for the children, and Wang Zhuo and the others cannot use it.
I found a gourd-shaped hot spring pool. Wang Zhuo was on the other end and three women were on the other end. Through the rising water vapor, I could only see the blurry figures on the opposite side, which made Qi Fei and Guan Yingying feel relieved.
The water temperature of forty degrees is just right. It turns out that the temperature is higher when the hot springs are sprayed out of the surface. The ancestors who built the hot spring pool first guided the spring water to the ground for a distance, and then introduced it into the spring pool. The temperature is just right, and the thick steam is generated in this process, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Wang Zhuo leaned alone by the pond, his butt and the bluestone behind him were warm, neither rough nor slippery, and he felt very comfortable.
The sound of playing came from time to time from time to time, which made him itchy and he was patient and did not need to peek through his eyes.
He didn't care about the reputation of a gentleman, but felt that it was uncomfortable to not eat it.
More than ten meters away from this pool, several half-year-old children were having fun in a large pool, and they spoke Mandarin with a bit of Northeast flavor, which Wang Zhuo could understand. Ten years ago, after a Northeast teacher took root in the village, the children in the village began to learn Mandarin, otherwise it would be difficult to communicate with Meng Shengnan.
Wang Zhuo looked over curiously and was immediately amazed and laughed. He saw three little girls quickly pouring water on the two little boys with wooden barrels. One of them was fighting back, and the other was only five or six years old. He had already put the barrel on his head and became a turtle with a head-reducing head.
Huh? Wait a minute! Wang Zhuo suddenly discovered a problem. Both boys and girls are naked, and the oldest girl is already eleven or twelve years old!
This...it's better not to read it!
Writing in his heart, Wang Zhuo withdrew his gaze in embarrassment and drew the image just now out of his mind.
Just as I took back my mind, I suddenly saw a blue and white snake swimming leisurely on the water five meters away in front of me, swimming towards the other end of the gourd pond.
This snake is about the thickness of an arm and is more than a half meters long. Although its head is not wide, its body is colorful. Wang Zhuo really can't tell whether it is a poisonous snake!
Seeing the big snake swimming towards the women, Wang Zhuo was shocked. This is a remote area with insufficient medical treatment and transportation. If he is bitten by a poisonous snake and has no time to treat it, it will cause death!
"There are snakes! Get ashore!"
Wang Zhuo screamed, and suddenly got into the water. He kicked his feet hard by the pool behind him, twisted his body into a tilt position, stroked his arms and legs, and chased the blue and white snake under the water.
A snake surprised Qi Fei and Guan Yingying. Before they could tell whether this sentence was a joke or the truth, the blue and white snake was already swaying its body freely, appearing from the steam and swimming towards them.
This scene suddenly scared Qi Fei and Guan Yingying and the other two were shocked. Just as Guan Yingying was about to stand up, Qi Fei suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Yingying quickly dive!"
Except for water snakes, most snakes just wander on the water when crossing the water, which is similar to crawling on the ground. Most of these snakes do not know how to dive, and as long as they dive into the water, they will make way for them.
Both of them could swim and immediately dived into the water. Guan Yingying was a little less capable of water and would not open her eyes in the water. She simply turned her heart and pierced her underwater in front of her.
Wang Zhuo had just sneaked under the snake and suddenly felt something slippery like a swimming fish passing by him. He didn't have time to think about it, so he stepped forward and his right hand pierced out of the water like lightning, grabbing the snake's neck!
Although this diving was only a few meters away, the oxygen in his lungs had already been exhausted because of the speed. When he grabbed the snake, he felt relieved. Then he felt a suffocation and quickly stepped forward and stood out from the water.
The snake was frightened and immediately used all its strength to tighten Wang Zhuo's right arm. However, with its weight of just a few pounds, it could not do anything to Wang Zhuo. As long as it couldn't bite, it could at most a few red marks on Wang Zhuo's arm.
"Wow!" Qi Fei saw the situation first, and then the water came out. Seeing Wang Zhuo holding the snake's neck tightly, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She was still scared when she thought of the thrill just now. She coughed up the water that she accidentally choked in. Her plump and straight chest also trembled with the cough. There were crystal water droplets hanging on the two bright red spots. Wang Zhuo stood up accidentally!
With a thud, Guan Yingying also came out of water from the other side. Wang Zhuo subconsciously looked over the sound, and saw her back facing this side. As soon as she came out of the water, she showed her sexy and seductive waist. She suddenly turned around and her disguised hair shook out a string of water curtains. The pair of little white rabbits on her chest also shook with the turn, trembling a few times.
Wang Zhuo stood in the middle of the pool with his hand holding the snake in his hand. The water here was as deep as his thighs. The distance between the two was only two meters, and they were completely visible to each other.
Guan Yingying was so scared by the snake that she suddenly saw Wang Zhuo appearing out of thin air. She was a little confused and forgot that she had no time to wear clothes. Her eyes turned around on the snake, Wang Zhuo, and the two snakes below him twice before she suddenly woke up!
Oh! She squatted into the water suddenly, but because she used too much force, she sat at the bottom of the pool, opened her mouth in pain, and then poured a sip of water in it.
Wang Zhuo turned around and smiled bitterly at Qi Fei, and squatted and swam back to his side.
Just then, Meng Shengnan held something in his hand and ran back on tiptoe. The girl was naked, and her slightly large pigeon breasts jumped up and down as she ran, and her white legs trembled slightly. Wang Zhuo accidentally looked straight.
"Uncle Wang Zhuo, you're eating pheasant eggs!"
A gray-white egg was thrown over, and Wang Zhuo quickly stretched out his free left hand and grabbed it. Meng Shengnan did not avoid suspicion and waved to him with a smile, and his small breasts shook with another formation.
The folk customs are so simple! Wang Zhuo praised it in his heart, it was really unexpected!
"Oh, Uncle Wang Zhuo caught a big cauliflower!" Meng Shengnan saw the big snake wrapped around Wang Zhuo's right arm. She jumped into the water excitedly and seemed to go forward to see what was going on.
On the way to Taoyuan Village, Deputy Director Kang and Secretary He had talked about the characteristics of this village, among which the young and old beds and the men and women bathed together, which made Wang Zhuo and others feel novel.
The young and old have the same bed. To put it bluntly, the whole family slept on the kang in the same room. If a couple wants to go to the room, they will go to the other room to sleep.
Now they finally realized the custom of men and women bathing together. Meng Shengnan did not avoid the suspicion of men and women. He stepped forward and took the snake off Wang Zhuo's arm, shook his muscles and bones a few times, carried it to the shore, happily told the three of them to drink snake soup at noon, and then put on their clothes and ran away with the snake!
