Chapter 1066: Chapter 1071: A Person with Sense of Propriety
After about half an hour, Tan Zhenghong stopped by a mountain wall.
"Is there a hot spring here?" Qiao Duo’er asked incredulously.
When she had just traveled here, she often went up the mountain to hunt and gather herbs, passing by this spot countless times. How had she never discovered it?
Tan Zhenghong pushed aside the vines, "There is a natural cave here, but it’s usually blocked by stuff, if it hadn’t rained that day, I wouldn’t have found it even if I lingered around."
After clearing a path that could be passed through, Tan Zhenghong said, "You go in quickly, I’ll disguise the entrance."
His wife was a bit of a clean freak, if someone else discovered this place, she definitely wouldn’t be able to comfortably come here for hot springs again in the future.
The best he could do was to keep people from noticing.
Once he earned more silver, he’d buy this mountaintop.
Um... That kind of felt like the Mountain King sensation.
Qiao Duo’er obediently crawled into the cave, pulled out a prepared flint and lit a candle, and only then could see the cave path clearly.
The path was very narrow, barely allowing one person to pass through.
The walls on both sides were covered in moss due to the constant moisture.
Having passed through a tunnel over a hundred meters long, Qiao Duo’er finally saw the steaming hot spring pool.
Qiao Duo’er could hardly wait. She ran to the edge of the pool, touched the warm water with her hand – where was the poise of a mother of two?
Tan Zhenghong was somewhat mesmerized.
"The water feels so nice, but what if someone crashes in here?"
"Don’t worry, no one will discover this place," Tan Zhenghong assured, patting his chest.
Only then did Qiao Duo’er stand up to undress, having removed half of her outer garment when her eyes suddenly caught sight of some fruit not far away.
The fruit resembled strawberries, but they were only as big as a fingernail.
This was a treasure!
"Want to try some?" Qiao Duo’er picked two small fruits.
"There are many plants in the mountains, and a lot of them are unknown and could be poisonous. You mustn’t just eat anything," Tan Zhenghong warned.
"I’ve seen it in my Third Brother’s notebook. It’s edible," she replied.
Tan Zhenghong reached out and took them, "You go ahead and soak first, be careful not to catch cold."
Quietly nodding, Qiao Duo turned around, but as she did, the corners of her mouth revealed a sly smile.
Today, she just wanted to enjoy the hot spring without any additional fatigue.
Soon, Tan Zhenghong sat down leaning against Duo’er, their skin touching, and he immediately felt aroused.
Qiao Duo’er glanced at a certain spot, "This isn’t home. Don’t mess around."
With a look of grievance, Tan Zhenghong said, "Wife, we haven’t been intimate for two days now, just this once, okay?"
Qiao Duo’er glanced again at the red fruits nearby. Could Bai Yifan’s notebook have been wrong?
It clearly stated that eating these would temporarily disable that function.
Tan Zhenghong said with a smirk, "I forgot to eat one just now, are you hiding some unspeakable little schemes?"
"No... I’m not," Qiao Duo’er said guiltily.
"Actually, I’ve known for a long time that eating those would make me impotent, and most of the men in Big Willow Village know about it. I’ve just been quietly watching you try to deceive me," Tan Zhenghong said proudly.
Qiao Duo’er crossed her arms over her chest, "Don’t you mess around."
With a hum, Tan Zhenghong muttered, "I am a man of measure."
"Jerk!"
