Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

The instant Li Yunshan sealed her lips, Gao Hongmei felt as if she had been electrocuted, her mind going completely blank.

But Li Yunshan was completely bewildered when Gao Hongmei kissed him like that.

He had considered rekindling his relationship with Gao Hongmei and having some physical intimacy, but he never imagined that he would have physical intimacy with Gao Hongmei in this environment and under these circumstances.

But Gao Hongmei's lips were really soft and moist. Thinking of the regret of his past life, how he had been blinded by love for such a good woman as Gao Hongmei and divorced her, Li Yunshan couldn't help but hug Gao Hongmei's waist and press his lips hard against hers.

Sensing Li Yunshan's actions, Gao Hongmei's previously blank mind instantly cleared.

When she saw Li Yunshan so close to her, kissing her lips with such passion, Gao Hongmei couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She placed her hands on Li Yunshan's chest, trying to lift herself up and break free from his embrace. But as soon as she exerted force, Li Yunshan's hands around her waist tightened even more, and she not only couldn't break free, but was also forced to stick even closer to him.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

The kissing continued, Gao Hongmei's lips were sealed by Li Yunshan, and she could only make a series of "woo-woo" sounds.

In the end, Gao Hongmei simply gave up resisting and instead cooperated with Li Yunshan's kiss.

About five minutes later, their lips parted.

Gao Hongmei's cheeks flushed, and her eyes couldn't help but be clouded with a deep spring-like allure.

She gasped for breath, glanced at Li Yunshan, and found that he was also staring intently at her. She turned her face away shyly.

"You pervert, what are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a woman before?"

Gao Hongmei couldn't help but scold him playfully.

"I've never seen a woman as beautiful as you," Li Yunshan replied with a shameless grin.

"You shameless bastard! If I were really that beautiful, would you have divorced me?"

Gao Hongmei couldn't help but give Li Yunshan a deep look.

If Li Yunshan had listened to her advice and cut ties with Yu Ergou and his gang back then, she probably wouldn't have divorced him, and they might even have several children by now.

"Sigh, Hongmei, can we not talk about divorce anymore? Every time you bring it up, I feel guilty towards you and Lihua."

Li Yunshan's smiling face immediately turned ashen when Gao Hongmei mentioned the divorce; it was an instinctive reaction deeply buried in his memory.

"If you feel sorry for me and Lihua, then live a good life with Xiulan from now on. We treat her like our own sister. You have let us down, so please don't let her down too." The blush on Gao Hongmei's face gradually faded, and her rationality gradually returned.

Thinking that Lin Xiulan is still living with Li Yunshan and that Lin Xiulan even gave birth to Dou Dou for Li Yunshan, Gao Hongmei thought that Li Yunshan would definitely remarry Lin Xiulan in the future.

Gao Hongmei felt ashamed that she had just kissed Li Yunshan.

After all, she treated Lin Xiulan like a younger sister, and Lin Xiulan treated her like an older sister.

But she, as the older sister, had just kissed Li Yunshan. It was fortunate that it was freezing cold today, and they were in the mountains.

If it were hot, given the situation just now, she didn't even dare to imagine what might have happened between Li Yunshan and her.

Thinking of this, Gao Hongmei couldn't help but glare at Li Yunshan with embarrassment and annoyance: "Why don't you get up? Aren't you going to catch a cold lying in the snow?"

"I'd like to, but I hurt my back and can't get any strength in it!"

Li Yunshan wore a bitter expression.

"If you can't muster any strength, then how were you able to just now? You were just faking it!" Gao Hongmei said, but she didn't dare to say it outright. Looking at Li Yunshan's bitter face and thinking about how tightly he had hugged her just now, she didn't believe that Li Yunshan was weak. He must have been faking it.

"I'm really not faking it. Just now... just now I was able to use my hands, but I strained my back and couldn't use my back!" Li Yunshan quickly explained.

"If I hadn't hurt my back, I would have rolled over and gotten up by myself a long time ago."

"Did you really hurt your back?" Gao Hongmei asked suspiciously.

"It really flashed," Li Yunshan said definitively.

"I...I'll trust you this once for now." Gao Hongmei hesitated for a moment before the suspicion on her face faded a little.

Then, she took Li Yunshan's hand again, and Li Yunshan also supported himself on the ground with one hand. After a while, Gao Hongmei helped Li Yunshan up.

However, as soon as he stood up, Li Yunshan couldn't help but gasp, his eyebrows furrowing.

He tried to move his leg, but felt another pain in his lower back.

"What's wrong? Can you still walk by yourself?"

Seeing that Li Yunshan's pained expression didn't seem to be faking it, Gao Hongmei quickly helped him up.

"It's probably a back strain or muscle sprain."

"Huh? What should we do then?" Gao Hongmei's eyes widened, somewhat bewildered and at a loss.

"Help me to that tree over there. I'll hold onto it while you massage my aching back to relieve the pain. That should be enough for me to walk back," Li Yunshan said, pointing to a tree not far away.

"Okay, I'll help you across."

As she spoke, Gao Hongmei helped Li Yunshan walk to the tree.

Li Yunshan leaned against the tree, and Gao Hongmei rolled up his cotton-padded coat.

A back strain is invisible to the naked eye, so Li Yunshan could only hold onto the tree with one hand and use the other to point to the area on his lower back, saying to Gao Hongmei, "Here, please rub it hard for me."

"Oh," Gao Hongmei responded, and then began to massage the painful area in his lower back.

"Ouch... Gently, yes, right here, massage gently, and then use more force when my lower back doesn't hurt as much."

Following his instructions, Gao Hongmei gently massaged the area, asking as she did so, "How is it? Is this pressure okay?"

"It's alright, it's quite comfortable."

"It feels quite comfortable to massage like this. You can increase the pressure a bit... Yes, that's the pressure."

"..."

Gao Hongmei massaged Li Yunshan for nearly twenty minutes, until her wrists were tired.

"Alright, I'm exhausted. Try it and see if you feel any better."

Gao Hongmei stopped and couldn't help but complain.

Li Yunshan tried to bend over. Although he still couldn't bend over too much, it was much better than before when he couldn't even bend over.

"Hongmei, thank you. I didn't expect your massage technique to be so professional," Li Yunshan said.

"No need to thank me, I should be the one thanking you," Gao Hongmei said.

Just now, if Li Yunshan hadn't reacted quickly and pounced on her like a tiger, knocking her aside, she probably would have been pierced through the heart by that sharp wooden stake.

At the same time, she also felt guilty because of her previous quarrel and temper tantrum with Li Yunshan.

"Be careful in the future. Hunting in the mountains is different from being at home. There are unseen dangers everywhere in the wild, especially in the summer. There are lush vegetation everywhere, and you never know where a pair of wild animals might be watching you."

"Of course, in the dead of winter, when the mountains are covered in snow and the wild animals in the mountains are most short of food, those beasts will not care if you have a gun when they get angry."

Li Yunshan gave instructions.

Gao Hongmei listened carefully, then picked up the hunting rifle and game that had fallen to the ground, and slowly walked back with Li Yunshan.

Upon reaching the village entrance, Gao Hongmei handed the hunting rifle to Li Yunshan.

After hesitating for a moment, she stuffed another pheasant into his hand: "Here, this pheasant is for you."

"Why are you giving this to me? Take it back and stew it, so your father can have a good nourishing meal." Li Yunshan stuffed the pheasant into Gao Hongmei's hands again.

He has everything at home, including bear meat, tiger meat, and he still has wild boar and venison from before, so he's never short of meat.

But Gao Hongmei is different. Her father stayed in the hospital for half a month and underwent major surgery for a fracture. His body must still be weak and needs to be properly nourished.

But Gao Hongmei pulled her hand back, so Li Yunshan had to forcibly pull her hand and stuff the pheasant into her hand.

Seeing Li Yunshan's firm attitude, Gao Hongmei finally took the pheasant back.

"Well... I'll head back now. Once your back is better, will you take me hunting in the mountains again?"

Gao Hongmei hesitated, her gaze towards Li Yunshan still carrying a hint of pleading.

"Okay, let's talk about it when my back is better."

Thinking about his intimate encounter with Gao Hongmei in the mountains just now, Li Yunshan inexplicably agreed.

After saying that, the two parted ways and went home.

However, Li Yunshan had pulled a muscle in his back, so he walked half as slowly as usual and it took him a long time to get home.

As soon as he got home, he couldn't help but plop down under the eaves.

"Oh dear, why are you sitting under the eaves? It's cold on the ground, hurry up and come inside."

After sitting for a short while, Lin Xiulan came out of the house and saw that Li Yunshan was actually sitting under the eaves. She quickly went up to him and said something.

"I've twisted my back and it hurts terribly. Can you let me sit down and rest for a bit?"

Li Yunshan explained.

"Oh? Did you twist your back? Is it serious?" Upon hearing this, Lin Xiulan quickly went to Li Yunshan's side, squatted down, and asked anxiously.

"Yes, I strained my ankle. Hongmei just massaged it for me, and I feel much better than when I first strained it."

"What happened? How did you hurt your back? There's some medicated wine in the house. I'll get some and rub it on for you later."

"Hongmei tripped and fell while walking. She was about to be poked by a very sharp wooden stake when I rushed over, grabbed her, and rolled her to the side. We rolled quite a distance before stopping. I twisted my back and got a stitch in my side. I guess that's when I accidentally hurt myself."

Li Yunshan gave an explanation.

Lin Xiulan examined it carefully and indeed saw that many parts of the cotton-padded jacket Li Yunshan was wearing were torn or pilled.

"How's your older sister doing?"

"Her? It's nothing serious. We parted ways at the village entrance."
