Yuan Xiang picked him up and carried him back into the mat on the kang with the towel. She couldn’t help but want to touch the little white ears. The ears were pointed, like small hills and they were thin and white. The soft hair would move around from time to time, which was so cute.
She tentatively stretched out her hand and gently touched the soft hair. The little wolf covered in medicine was lying there. His ears trembled but he didn’t make any sound.
If there was no refusal, then it was an approval. Yuan Xiang happily rubbed the ears that she hadn’t touched for many days.
She was actually more accustomed to his wolf appearance as it was less stressful to get along with. However, after seeing his human form, Yuan Xiang no longer had good intentions when bullying him.
“Why did you turn into a wolf again? In the human world, isn’t the human form the most energy-saving?” She asked Nan He.
“I don’t like human clothes,” Nan He turned his face away.
So he couldn’t be naked in front of her.
…
The sky turned black. After dinner, Yuan Xiang sat on the threshold to cut the rice candy Ru Shi made.
This kind of snack was a little complicated to make, but it was a snack that every household prepared before and after the local Chinese New Year.
There were many complicated processes to make this kind of rice candy. First, one needed to select high-quality glutinous rice, soak and steam it to make cooked rice, then grind it, add syrup, peanuts and sweet-scented osmanthus, etc. Stir-fry, solidify and slice it to become pieces of crispy and delicious sweets, which could be used to serve guests and cheer children in the New Year.
Yuan Xiang was cutting on the chopping board. Ru Shi had spent a lot of time trying to make a large piece of rice candy, which should be cut evenly and uniformly in size, wrapped and put into a jar. Wu Yuan and Li Yu squatted and waited. After she was done, Wu Yuan would grab it and rush to the big banyan tree to eat it. Li Yu watched with outstretched hands, Yuan Xiang had to pick up one or two more pieces and put them in his palms.
The injured Nan He was curled up on the mat next to Yuan Xiang, watching the long-necked chicken flicking his small sleeves and running away with a cuckoo and glanced at the two little demons with disdain.
Yuan Xiang picked up a piece and handed it to Nan He, “Do you want to taste it too?”
Nan He turned and shook his head.
As Wu Yuan and Li Yu ran far away, Yuan Xiang quietly took out two plum-shaped sweet-scented osmanthus candies from her purse, held them in the palm of her hand and leaned her head against Nan He, then she quietly said, “Let’s eat this sweet-scented osmanthus candy. I bought it in Lianghe Town last time and there are only two left. Let’s eat it secretly.”
Sure enough, the arrogant little wolf moved his amber eyes, stretched his head and licked the candy right away. The pink little tongue accidentally scratched on Yuan Xiang’s palm, making it itchy.
A soft knock came.
“Who?” Yuan Xiang got up to answer the door. Why were there guests at such a time?
A young couple stood outside the courtyard,
“Sorry, I took the liberty to bother you.” The lady had a kind face, gave a thoughtful blessing and said earnestly, “We have walked a long way, but we didn’t find an inn. It’s hard to see the lights here. Can you let us stay for one night? We will leave early tomorrow morning.”
Her shoes, socks and clothes were all wet and water was dripping down in the cold weather, describing her embarrassment. She looked at Yuan Xiang pleadingly. Her husband stood beside her in silence.
Yuan Xiang looked at them in silence for a long time and then opened the door to let them in.
The couple followed Yuan Xiang into the courtyard. That winter night was silent. The dense trees around the courtyard were like countless shadows in the dark, standing silently in the corner. The flickering trees made the woman who just entered the house a little scared. She quietly held her husband’s arm next to her.
Fortunately, the warm and bright light from the house in front made her feel a little relieved.
There was a thick and dense sycamore tree in the yard. When they passed by, a strong big black dog barked fiercely and scared the woman. She turned her eyes. From the edge of the tree, a pair of white hands stretched out from a small wooden house and closed the door of the house the size of a chicken coop.
The woman shook her husband’s sleeve nervously and motioned him to take a look. But her husband just reached out and patted her palm comfortably,
“Liniang, this is a good place, don’t be afraid,” her husband said.
A cat turned around on the stone table under the tree. The cat was hidden in the dark. It was dark and they could not see his fur color. Only a pair of green eyes were shining in the dark. He arched his back and meowed.
The woman named Li Niang screamed.
Yuan Xiang , who led the way in front, stopped, “Wu Yuan, these two are guests.”
The cat squinted his eyes, dashed into the canopy of the tree and disappeared. A man’s soft hum was faintly heard in the darkness.
Yuan Xiang led the two into the guest room, “You two must be hungry, sit here for a while. I will prepare meals for you.”
