The moon hung high in the night sky, with the stars above blinking, casting a clear light on the earth below.
The three of them walked quickly along the mountain trail under the cover of darkness.
Xiao Yishan originally wanted to accommodate his wife by slowing down deliberately, but she also walked quickly.
It took about two hours for the three of them to return to Wushan Village.
Su Qingyue couldn’t help stealing a glance at her second brother, thinking about how it didn’t take her long to get to town, yet she was carried on his back… This man carried her for two hours, which is equivalent to four hours in modern times.
She also didn’t know how long he stood in line at the pharmacy while carrying her, but she guessed it must have been at least an hour. Ordinary people would be exhausted by now, his physical strength is incredibly strong, and he didn’t complain once.
It was also clear that he didn’t get enough rest during the seven days spent in the mountains.
A pang of guilt welled up in her heart.
In the darkness, Xiao Yishan noticed his wife’s gaze and found her eyes especially bright, and it seemed like a hint of guilt flashed across them.
His heart immediately warmed up, and he tightened his grip on her small hand involuntarily.
Her thoughts rippled, and she gently withdrew her hand, feeling uneasy at his disappointed eyes.
Xiao Yuchuan opened the courtyard door and took the large cloth bag into the bedroom, saying, “Second brother, I’ll cook dinner. You’ve been working hard for several days, take a break.” He then headed towards the kitchen.
“I’ll go check on Fourth Brother first.” Xiao Yishan entered the secondary bedroom, greeted Xiao Qinghe inside, then walked back out to the yard. He lightly touched Su Qingyue’s arm and pointed to the master bedroom, signaling her to go in and rest for a while.
He originally wanted to talk to her, but remembering she couldn’t hear him, he motioned with his hands instead.
She shook her head lightly, “I’m not tired. You should rest, Second Brother.”
Her voice was like the sweet melody of a bird, crisply echoing through the valley, reminiscent of a gentle stream on a summer day—a captivating sound of peace and elegance.
Xiao Yishan thought he heard the sound of heaven and was momentarily stunned.
Xiao Yuchuan, who had just reached the kitchen doorway, stared wide-eyed before sprinting back over. He looked at Qingyue in disbelief, “Were you just talking?”
“If it wasn’t me, was it a ghost?” She spoke up again.
Xiao Yuchuan ecstatically embraced her, yelling happily, “Wife, you can speak! You can speak! That’s great, that’s great!”
Because he was holding her, she couldn’t see his mouth movements and only felt his excitement. However, she wasn’t familiar with him. Didn’t the ancient people emphasize gender restrictions? Why did he assume she would marry him?
She pushed him away, “Get off me, don’t hold me!”
Second brother was watching, and it would be terrible if he got the wrong idea.
At first, Xiao Yishan was also overwhelmed by the joy of his wife being able to speak. But when he saw third brother hugging her so passionately, a sour feeling welled up in his heart, and his face darkened. He wanted to scold his third brother, but when his wife spoke up first, he held back.
Xiao Yuchuan looked at Qingyue with a wronged expression, “Wife, we sleep on the same bed every night, why won’t you let me hold you nearby …”
Su Qingyue secretly repeated his lip movements to herself, thinking she had misunderstood him, “What did you just call me?”
He tried to please her by getting closer, “I called you ‘wife’. Wife!”
She glared at him with a sharp look, “Why are you calling out? Who’s your wife!”
“You are my wife!” He grinned and called out several more times, “Wife, wife, wife!”
Her face darkened, “Stop with the nonsense, I won’t marry you!”
