Chapter 48
Lin Zaozao rolled her eyes as she watched Murong Hai put down the water. Her eyes narrowed, and a mischievous idea popped into her mind.
She stood up and slowly walked to Murong Hai's side, then gave his shirt a tug.
Instantly, Murong Hai's scar-covered upper body was exposed before Lin Zaozao's eyes.
Murong Hai, he truly was a general.
Lin Zaozao stared blankly at the scars all over his body, and her thoughts of teasing him vanished.
Although the wounds on his body had already healed, looking at those knife marks, she couldn't help but imagine how much pain he must have endured when he was injured.
Just as Lin Zaozao was lost in staring at Murong Hai's scars, he quickly pulled up his shirt, closed his eyes, and leaned against the fence, scolding Lin Zaozao without reservation.
"Lin Zaozao, you little chubby girl. How can a young girl like you be so lecherous!"
"What do you mean lecherous? I'm looking at my own man, not someone else's. It's perfectly reasonable and legitimate for me." Lin Zaozao straightened her neck and said in a firm tone.
"But I don't like you, and I don't want to be your man. A forced relationship is never sweet, don't you understand?"
"I understand! I don't know if this melon is sweet or not, but as long as I have a melon, I don't care if it's sweet or not. I'll taste it and then decide."
"Ignorant!"
"Tch! I might be ignorant, but you're the educated one. Fine, if you want to continue staying here, come and give me a back rub! My arms are too short to reach my back."
As Murong Hai felt Lin Zaozao's heavy footsteps approaching, he quickly held onto the fence and rushed outside.
"Hey hey hey! Murong Hai, why are you running! We're an old married couple, do you think I'll eat you up? It's just a back rub! How tired can you be?"
Just as Lin Zaozao's voice fell, Murong Hai stopped in front of the fence and stopped walking. Even his walking style had turned into a jog.
Watching Murong Hai's disheveled figure running away, Lin Zaozao disdainfully pursed her lips.
Tch! How dare you, when I'm a beautiful young maiden like a blooming flower. After I clean up, I'll definitely become a super beauty.
After all, her skin, which was now clean, was really fair and tender.
Although the process of becoming fair wasn't pleasant, she still liked the result.
With no more dark spots on her face, she would definitely become a great beauty.
Oh! No, it's a plump beauty.
After Lin Zaozao finished washing all the water brought by Murong Hai, she realized that he didn't bring her any clean clothes.
"Murong Hai, where are my clothes?" Lin Zaozao shouted loudly.
"No clothes, just come out naked!" came Murong Hai's gloating voice from the front yard.
"Murong Hai, are you sure you want me to come out naked?"
"Yes, come out naked! It's impossible for me to bring you clothes."
"Come on! If you don't bring me clothes, I'll come out naked and go into the bridal chamber with you."
"Then come out!"
Hearing Murong Hai's gloating voice, Lin Zaozao glanced at the dirty clothes on the floor that couldn't be worn again, and then at her own clean body that she had just washed.
Her original skin was dark and chubby. But now! Aside from the dirt on her body, her skin had become fair and plump.
Pinching the love handles on her belly, Lin Zaozao waited a while longer, but Murong Hai, that darn guy, still hadn't brought her any clothes.
Damn it, if she endured this today, wouldn't she be at the mercy of Murong Hai in the future?
There is a limit to what one can endure. When one can no longer bear it, there is no need to continue bearing it.
Because she had been in the bathroom with stomach troubles all morning, Lin Zaozao, who was already weak and unable to stand steadily, kicked the fence in anger.
Fine, if she's going to be naked, then she'll be naked.
After all, it was almost noon now, and all the villagers who were working had returned home to eat. So, no one would pass by her house.
If she really went out naked and was seen by someone, it would be embarrassing, and her feud with that damn Murong Hai would never end.
At the moment the fence was kicked down, Lin Zaozao, with blazing eyes, didn't care about shame anymore. She angrily prepared to rush outside.
But before she could take a step, a bedsheet was thrown over her head. Before she could react, her body was tightly wrapped in the sheet.
"Lin Zaozao, how dare you really come out naked?"
Listening to Gu Shan's angry voice while being wrapped in the bedsheet, Lin Zaozao was momentarily dumbfounded.
Gu Shan, he's angry? "Lin Zaozao, what are you standing there foolishly for? I'm asking you! How can a young girl like you dare to come out naked? If someone sees you later, what will become of your reputation?"
"Gu Shan, are you angry?"
"Answer me!"
Facing Gu Shan's eyes that were about to burst into flames, Lin Zaozao instantly became timid.
Normally, Gu Shan had a relatively cold personality, but when he spoke to her, his overall temperament was still relatively gentle.
But now that he was angry, his body felt as cold as ice, making her shiver.
Oh my goodness! She couldn't confront an angry person. Especially someone like Gu Shan who rarely got mad, she couldn't be confrontational.
Otherwise, she guaranteed that it would be her, Lin Zaozao, who would get hurt later.
So Lin Zaozao's eyes rolled, and she pouted, thinking about the embarrassing incident of her morning stomach troubles. In an instant, two teardrops fell from Lin Zaozao's eyes like golden beans.
"Wow... Gu Shan, you actually scolded me. I'm feeling so miserable. I'm in such a pitiful state right now, and you're scolding me!"
"No, Zaozao, I was asking you just now..."
"You scolded me, that's it. Early in the morning, I had stomach troubles and farted all morning. You know what? I'm so weak right now that I can barely stand up. But that scoundrel Murong Hai didn't even bother to bring me a piece of clothing. Can you blame me for being angry? Wow... I'm so pitiful!"
"No, Zaozao, I'm sorry. I was too anxious just now. Please don't cry."
"Wow... Gu Shan, why am I so unlucky! Other people's husbands embrace them affectionately and lift them high, but the husband I married..."
"Not only does he despise me and refuse to enter the bridal chamber with me, but just now he didn't even bother to bring me a piece of clothing. He made me run out naked. They didn't even leave me with any dignity, let alone face. Why am I so unlucky!"
"Zaozao, don't cry anymore. I'll go find Murong Hai and make him pay for this, okay?"
"Really?"
"Really."
"Um... Gu Shan, you're so kind!"
Lin Zaozao walked barefoot to Gu Shan's side, hugged his neck, and was about to start wailing.
"Zaozao, there are thorns on the ground. Put on your shoes first."
"Ah! Oh! Okay, I'll put them on now."
So, the crying that Lin Zaozao was about to let out through her vocal cords was forcefully suppressed. She decided to let it go.
The most important thing was that she truly didn't have the strength to cry anymore.
Wrapping herself in a bedsheet, Lin Zaozao first cast a wary glance at the somewhat guilty-looking Murong Hai. After giving him a mischievous smile, Lin Zaozao immediately turned cold and walked towards her own room.
Before settling the score, she needed to change her clothes.
After all, it was too shameless to settle the score while being naked. She had lost her mind for a moment and actually ran out naked.
Fortunately, Gu Shan saved her life and prevented her from having a dark history in her life.
"Ruo Qiu, have you noticed how the fat boy's skin suddenly became fair? And that dark spot on his face disappeared."
"Murong Hai, it's really strange," Ruo Qiu said, looking at Lin Zaozao's door, lost in thought.
"Ruo Qiu, do you think she took some miraculous medicine early in the morning? She turned fair so quickly! And the dark spot on her face just vanished," Murong Hai asked with curiosity, staring at the tattered curtain in front of Lin Zaozao's house.
"She went to the outhouse early in the morning. What do you think she ate?" Ji Fantian said, sitting sideways in front of the house, his lips slightly upturned, his tone somewhat malicious.
"I ate your uncle, you bastards! I'm going to kill all of you!" Lin Zaozao, who had changed her clothes, rushed out of her room with disheveled hair, pulled out a stick from under the house, and charged at Murong Hai and Ji Fantian.
Don't think she didn't hear it. Just now, she clearly heard the teasing from Ji Fantian and Ruo Qiu when Murong Hai didn't bring her clothes.
Daring to mock her behind her back, she wouldn't let these bastards off the hook. She didn't believe she couldn't deal with them. One by one, they'd end up disabled.
Murong Hai looked at Lin Zaozao angrily rushing towards him with the stick. Instinctively, he dragged his lame leg and reached out with his long arm, snatching the stick from Lin Zaozao's hand.
"Gu Shan, beat this scumbag Murong Hai for me! It's because of him that I had to run around naked."
"Okay!"
As soon as Gu Shan's voice fell, a rope appeared timely next to Murong Hai. In no time, Murong Hai was tightly bound by Gu Shan.
Looking at Murong Hai, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, Lin Zaozao turned her head and glanced at Gu Shan, who was still sitting in the wheelchair. In surprise, she gestured at him, imitating a bull.
She couldn't figure out how Gu Shan managed to tie up people.
If she had Gu Shan's skill in tying people, she would be invincible in the world.
Regaining her composure, Lin Zaozao pushed Murong Hai down and sat on top of him, squeezing his neck.
"You scoundrel! You didn't bring me any clothes and made me go out naked. I think it's better for you to go naked!"
After strangling him, before Murong Hai could react, Lin Zaozao grabbed his clothes and was about to engage in a "heart-to-heart" conversation with him.
But before Lin Zaozao could make a move, Murong Hai struggled and broke free from the ropes that bound him. He even managed to flip Lin Zaozao onto the ground.
"Lin Zaozao, you crazy woman! Have you no shame?"
"I have nothing to be ashamed of. What's the point of having face when I have no reputation?"
Saying that, Lin Zaozao slightly bent her leg and aimed at Murong Hai's vulnerable area.
Damn it, he didn't like her, did he? So she would turn Murong Hai, this scoundrel, into a real eunuch.
Seeing Lin Zaozao's move, Murong Hai's forehead veins bulged, and he reached out to suppress her bent leg.
"Lin Zaozao, who taught you this sneaky move?"
