The kang (heated brick bed) for left-behind women

At that moment, Zhang Biao and his henchmen actually arrived.

Zhang Biao spotted Li Ruoxue sitting on the rock at a glance.

Li Ruoxue's rosy cheeks and slender figure made her stand out in this desolate wilderness.

Zhang Biao, his eyes blurry with drunkenness, was suddenly seized by a wicked thought. He whistled inappropriately, "Hey! In this desolate wilderness, there are such beautiful young women? Are they waiting for us?"

The two thugs behind him also let out lewd laughter, and the three of them staggered over to surround Li Ruoxue.

Hearing the sound, Li Ruoxue looked up and saw three strange men approaching with hostile expressions, which frightened her so much that her face turned pale.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, we brothers are just passing by and want to chat with you..." Zhang Biao reached out his dirty hand to touch Li Ruoxue's face.

Just as that hand was about to touch Li Ruoxue.

"Zhang Biao, are you blind?! Do you think I'm invisible?"

A thunderous roar erupted from the side and behind!

Lin Dachun was just eating a steamed bun when he went to water the jujube trees. As soon as he started, he came over and started flirting with Li Ruoxue.

Lin Dachun, exuding an inviolable and chilling killing intent, instantly positioned himself between Zhang Biao and Li Ruoxue!

At the same time, it protected Li Ruoxue.

Startled by the sudden appearance and roar, Zhang Biao recoiled, staggering back a step. When he saw that the newcomer was an old man in worn clothes, his initial fear subsided, replaced by rage: "Old bastard! Who the hell are you? Daring to meddle in my business? Get out of my way!"

"I am Lin Dachun."

Lin Dachun's voice wasn't loud, but every word was as heavy as iron, carrying the chilling edge of a mountain hunter facing wild beasts: "This is Linchangtun's territory. Who gave you the right to run wild here?"

"Hey! That old coffin-head is pretty tough!" Zhang Biao felt a little uneasy under his gaze, but relying on his numbers and the alcohol, plus his habit of bullying others in the neighborhood, he was not about to lose face in front of an old farmer.

He grinned maliciously and waved to the two thugs: "Teach this blind old bastard a lesson! And take that little wench with you!"

Two thugs yelled and pounced on him from the left and right. One threw a punch at Lin Dachun’s face, while the other tried to grab Li Ruoxue behind him.

Lin Dachun was furious.

Lin Dachun's movements were so fast they were dazzling.

Facing the incoming fist head-on, he neither dodged nor evaded. His left hand, like an iron clamp, precisely gripped the opponent's wrist. With a twist and a push, the thug felt a tremendous force, his entire arm aching and numb. He cried out in pain and staggered.

At the same time, his right foot shot out like lightning, kicking the shinbone of another thug who was trying to grab Li Ruoxue!

"Snap!"

With a sickeningly sharp crack, the thug screamed in agony, clutching his leg and rolling on the ground; clearly, even if the bone wasn't broken, it was cracked.

In the blink of an eye, one of the thugs was injured and the other was forced to retreat!

Zhang Biao sobered up considerably, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He hadn't expected the old man to be so ruthless and efficient!

But with the arrow already on the bowstring, he let out a strange cry, pulled a gleaming dagger from his back waist, and stabbed it at Lin Dachun!

Lin Dachun's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Facing the dagger thrusting towards him, he did not retreat but advanced instead, narrowly dodging the blade by turning to the side. At the same time, he swung his right arm like a steel whip, his elbow carrying the full force of his body, and slammed heavily onto Zhang Biao's wrist holding the knife!

"Clang!" The dagger flew out of his hand.

"Ouch!" Zhang Biao felt as if his wrist had been hit by a hammer, and the pain was excruciating.

Lin Dachun stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Biao by the collar, lifted him up slightly off the ground like a chicken, and then slammed him forward!

Zhang Biao's large body was thrown two or three meters away like a broken sack, crashing to the ground and raising dust. He groaned and couldn't get up for a long time.

Lin Dachun stood there, dusting off his hands. His breathing was slightly erratic, but his eyes remained cold and sharp as he swept over the three groaning thugs on the ground. His voice seemed to come from an ice cellar:

"You bastards, if I ever see you even thinking of harming my daughter again, I'll break three of your legs and throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves."

His words, combined with his thunderous skill just now, were filled with a chilling and intimidating power.

Zhang Biao and his two companions had completely lost their arrogance. They looked at Lin Dachun as if they had seen a living Yama, and were immediately terrified.

But Zhang Biao didn't leave. Instead, he smiled obsequiously and said, "Uncle Dachun, your skills are amazing! Where did you learn them? How about becoming our boss?"

Damn it.

What else can happen?

"Are you sick in the head?" Lin Dachun cursed directly.

"Brother Dachun, to tell you the truth, I, Zhang Biao, am a smuggler. I'm quite successful in town, but I can't compete for territory, so things aren't easy. Brother Dachun, you're such a good fighter, if you were our boss, our business would definitely boom. Besides, we sometimes bully women. If you were the boss, you could have a turn." Zhang Biao's thought process was truly something else, coming up with these ideas.

"You're seriously ill, get lost." Lin Dachun ignored his nagging.

Seeing that his attempts to win him over were futile, Zhang Biao had no choice but to slink away.

After everyone left, Lin Dachun turned around to check on Li Ruoxue. Seeing that she was alright, he joked, "You're too beautiful, so you always attract attention. That's called attracting bees and butterflies."

"I'm not Pan Jinlian, how could I attract so many suitors?" Li Ruoxue retorted, unconvinced.

"Hehe, come on, let's go home. At home, it'll just be the two of us on the kang (heated brick bed), and we won't care about any bees coming. I'll also rub your stomach to get rid of the cold." Lin Dachun had already started packing up the farm tools.

The two of them spent the whole day on the mountain.

Back home, Li Ruoxue went to cook, while Lin Dachun was still busy with chores in the yard, also tidying up the outhouse in the side cave.

The earth on one side of the outhouse collapsed, revealing cracks.

Many lecherous old men hid there, peeping at Li Ruoxue through the gaps, which was disgusting.

"From now on, you should use the toilet at home every night. Don't go out. It's cold and there are bad people around. Just use this." Lin Dachun placed the empty wooden tray in the corner next to the kang (heated brick bed).

In this way, Li Ruoxue can go to the toilet directly on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) at night, which is convenient and safe.

"Um."

Li Ruoxue wasn't embarrassed at all; she didn't want to go to the outhouse anyway.

After dinner.

Lin Dachun closed the cave dwelling door early. The village was small, with each cave dwelling located far apart from the others.

Apart from old bachelors who bother and harass widows, ordinary people don't visit each other much.

"I feel like I'm really addicted to the kang (heated brick bed), and it's not that cold now," Li Ruoxue said.

"It's spring now, but we're not completely done hibernating yet. When it gets warmer, or even summer, I'll take you out to play in the evenings to cool off. For now, just stay snuggled up on the kang (heated brick bed). Everyone's snuggled up on the kang, so no one will have any other thoughts," Lin Dachun explained.

"oh."

Li Ruoxue pouted.

"You lie down on the kang (heated brick bed), I'll get some ginger oil and massage your stomach to dispel the cold in your uterus. I guarantee it will work." Lin Dachun thought that Li Ruoxue had also massaged his sore muscles, so he should also help her get rid of the cold.

This is also the method that Dr. Sun told me.

They said Li Ruoxue was too cold-blooded, no wonder her body was always cold when she slept at night, thanks to the warmth of the kang (heated brick bed) and the heating provided by Lin Dachun.

"I'm ticklish," Li Ruoxue said shyly, already lying down.

"Your health is important. You can bear the itching, but if you have too much dampness in your body, you'll feel cold, and feeling cold can be very troublesome. This is what Dr. Sun said. I don't want you to get sick," Lin Dachun said very seriously.

"Oh." Li Ruoxue could only lie down like a child.
