Chapter 58: Foot massage is also a way

At night, it really started raining outside.

The rain was not heavy, but it was extremely cold, especially the night rain in the mountains. The chill almost made people feel that winter was coming and the cold penetrated into their bones.

Even if you walk with an umbrella at this time, you may catch a cold and suffer from hypothermia.

After putting on her shoes and socks, the green snake planned to go out and continue her journey at night, naturally wanting Chu Wuji to retreat.

Like to follow? It depends on how long you can follow!

Chu Wuji was indeed stumped. If he had eaten and drunk enough, he would still dare to venture out into the mountain rain on this autumn night, but his current condition was not very good.

Not only was his injury not healed, he was also mentally exhausted, hungry, and his physical strength was never properly replenished.

He could only bite the bullet and ask, "White Snake Lady, we can't wait until daybreak to leave. Can we wait until the rain stops before leaving the cave and continuing our journey?"

The green snake wanted to ask him back, why should I accommodate you?

But seeing Chu Wuji's sincerity and helplessness, Qingshe felt soft-hearted for no reason, and she turned and said:

"I want to soak my feet in hot water. My feet are still tired. If you can let me soak my feet comfortably, I will rest until dawn before leaving."

Soaking your feet is usually very easy and simple, but it is not easy now.

Without any tools at the moment, where could Chu Wuji get a leak-proof wooden basin?

Flat wooden boards, fixed nails, waterproof wood paint...these are impossible to get in a short time.

If it weren't for this autumn night mountain rain, Chu Wuji might have relied on the favor he had with the little animals before, and they might have really helped him find some tools, but now it was impossible.

Small animals also need to hide from the rain.

Chu Wuji fell into deep thought. He knew the difficulty of this matter and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, White Snake Lady, just sit and wait for a while. I'll go and help you find a solution!"

Green Snake didn't quite believe he could figure it out, so he sat back down and reminded him:

"I won't give you too much time. If I find out you're just stalling for time, I'll leave immediately!"

Aunt Green Snake thought he would complain, but he just replied "I know" and then started to think of a solution.

Chu Wuji had rich experience in living in the mountains. He knew that it was impossible to get a wooden basin at the moment, so he had to find another way.

He looked deeper into the cave, then took a torch from the fire and looked deeper into the cave.

Soon, he ran back with a happy face and started tinkering around the fire.

The green snake was suspicious and muttered, "Isn't that so lucky? Someone left some living tools for him deep in the cave?"

As it turned out, Qingshe was overthinking it. Chu Wuji didn't have that kind of luck at all. He just found a big stone pit inside, the size of a large water tank used by ordinary people in their homes.

This pit was probably used by the people in the past to store grain and potatoes. When the world was in turmoil, the surplus food in the homes had to be hidden in the mountains to avoid bandits and refugees who robbed homes.

This just gave Chu Wuji a chance to make a living, as he no longer had to worry about how to make a wooden barrel.

However, a new problem arose: how to boil water?

Chu Wuji did not have the ability to dig a small hole nearby to use as a firewood stove, nor did he have the ability to use spiritual power to seek convenience.

Seeing this, Qingshe felt a little bit impressed by this guy's bad luck. He thought it was a turn of events, but in fact, his troubles did not decrease at all.

She deliberately made sarcastic remarks, trying to persuade Chu Wuji to give up:

"This big pit can't be used as a basin for you to hold water. Why don't you go deeper and try your luck? Maybe you can find some tools left behind by those who came before you?"

Chu Wuji stood there and thought for a while, then said:

"White Snake Lady, do you want to take a bath? This pit should be big enough for you to soak in."

Green Snake raised an eyebrow, staring at the young man who was talking nonsense, and found that he didn't seem to be talking nonsense, so he reminded him:

"As long as it can soak your feet, it's fine. And one more reminder, don't show off too much or you'll get yourself into more trouble. If you have any cards up your sleeve, keep them hidden."

Chu Wuji didn't say much and started to act immediately. In front of the woman, he took off his outer robe, trousers, boots and socks, ran out of the cave in only a pair of shorts, and jumped into the pool with a "splash".

The green snake knew that the boy had grown strong and healthy, but it was not shaken by this. It was more curious about what he was going to do.

Not long after, Chu Wuzhi came back with many stones of appropriate sizes and a few fish.

He wondered, "Why is it so hard to catch a stupid fish that can be easily caught?"

Then he placed stones around the fire and threw in some firewood to increase the flames.

When the fish was cooked, Chu Wuji endured the scorching heat and slowly threw the stone into the big pit. Then he took his clothes and soaked them in the water to absorb the water, and then wrung them into the puddle.

After carrying water back and forth several times, the pit was finally filled with enough water.

The hot stones also heat the water to lukewarm.

"Okay, Lady White Snake, you can go soak your feet now. If you think the water isn't hot enough, the fire is already heating the next batch of rocks. It will be hot enough after another throw."

"..."

The green snake looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Finally, he walked over silently and sat by the pit to soak his feet.

Seeing that she did not express any dissatisfaction, Chu Wuji ate the grilled fish with relish. After finishing two pieces in no time, he stood up and began to hang his wet clothes on the stone wall next to the fire to dry.

Without seasoning, the taste of the grilled fish was greatly reduced, and he actually missed the taste of dry food pancakes.

The green snake was soaking its feet nearby. The water temperature was actually not very good. Its feet were stepping on the burned stones, and it barely felt like soaking its feet in hot water.

However, she did not find fault with him and still admired the boy's ability to take action.

Qing Snake really didn't expect that in order to satisfy the request of his "godmother", Chu Wuzhi would not hesitate to wet his important warm clothes so that she could soak her feet.

If she had just said that she wanted to take a bath, then this guy should have built a new fire and burned the stones right next to the pit, right?

While he was lost in thought, Green Snake heard Chu Wuji's footsteps. He came over with a grilled fish and two shrimps and asked:

"White Snake Lady, there's no seasoning, so just eat it as it is."

"Call me Auntie."

Her elder sister, White Snake, gave her a human name, but Green Snake had no taste for naming. She was used to her elder sister calling her "Xiao Qing", and now Chu Wuji called her "White Snake Mother", and Green Snake's scalp tingled.

Letting Chu Wuzhi call her "Auntie" was a helpless recognition and concession.

Chu Wuji didn't quite understand and asked blankly, "Aunt?"

Green Snake made up an explanation:

"As the White Snake's beast. My sexual instincts make me second only to Bai Sujin, so I'm considered her younger sister. If you don't understand, just make up your own logic to convince yourself. I don't have the eloquence to explain it to you clearly.

I am not your mother, Bai Sujin is."

Chu Wuji had a strange look on his face. In his eyes, this woman looked and had the figure of his godmother!

Why is she calling me smaller and smaller, and now she's become aunt?

However, her white snake instincts awakened in order to resolve the crisis, and her temper was indeed quite bad. Chu Wuzhi did not dare to joke with her, so he just let her take what she said.

Chu Wuji hypnotized himself, and now the person standing in front of him was his godmother's twin sister. They looked the same, but had a bad and vicious temper, even more vicious than Yun Qingying's little mouth!

"...Auntie, can you eat this grilled fish while it's hot?"

In the end, the green snake did not refuse his kindness. After taking the grilled fish, it ate it in small bites.

The two small shrimps were left for Chu Wuzhi to eat himself, as he needed this little food to fill his stomach.

"I don't eat shrimp, keep it for yourself."

When only the head and bones of the fish were left in the green snake's hand, she stood up and casually used her magic power. The waterfall water at the entrance of the cave suddenly changed direction and filled the big hole where she had just soaked her feet.

Immediately afterwards, bubbles began to appear in the water in the pit, hot mist rose, and it actually boiled out of thin air.

Hand rub hot spring!

Green Snake glanced at the wound on Chu Wuji's body. She pointed at the hot spring pit and said in a commanding tone:

"Go in and soak to ward off the cold. I'll go find some herbs nearby to heal you."

My sister has raised such a good child, so handsome and filial. If something goes wrong with him in my hands, it will be troublesome...

Chapter 59: Trying to Awaken Auntie’s Maternal Love

After experiencing the confusion of changing her name to "Auntie", Chu Wuji was confused again.

He watched with his own eyes as his auntie effortlessly created a small artificial hot spring, and was still marveling at it when he heard his auntie say that it was for him.

Is this still the same evil white snake aunt from before?

Chu Wuji discussed:

"Aunt, let me go out with you to find herbs, or you can soak first, and when you're done, I'll soak your water. This is the order my mother and I used to follow."

The green snake looked at Chu Wuzhi expressionlessly.

She knew that the boy was worried that she would take the opportunity to run away, so he didn't dare to go into the water to take a bath.

"If I wanted to leave, I would have already left when you jumped into the pond to catch fish. There's no way you could catch up with me."

Chu Wuji was naturally aware of this. On a rainy night, his body temperature would drop quickly, and it would be impossible for him to chase after her as desperately as before.

"Then I'll go to the pond and help you catch some fish?"

"..."

The green snake was silent. She glanced at the pool outside the cave. More than a dozen fish flew in on their own, landed on the ground, bouncing and flapping, looking very lively.

Chu Wuji was very embarrassed. He felt that his aunt was silently saying: Do I need your help to catch fish?

The green snake seemed to realize that Chu Wuji was about to say "I'll go grill the fish", so she cast a spell and the largest fish were cooked directly and flew into Chu Wuji's hands.

She said coldly:

"When you've had enough, go take a bath to ward off the cold. I don't want to repeat myself for the third time."

Chu Wuji admitted defeat and obediently jumped into the hot spring pit. He took the grilled fish and started eating it. Only then did the green snake nod in satisfaction.

Just as she reached the end of the cave, she suddenly heard Chu Wuji muttering:

"If you cook the fish without cleaning the internal organs, the bitter taste of the bile will seep into the meat."

Aunt Green Snake had just shown off her magic and exuded the aura of a master. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but she decided to pretend she didn't hear it.

Let this brat talk too much, he should suffer to death!

......

The rain continued all night, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and the wind was stronger than the rain.

The green snake quickly found some useful medicinal herbs, and took dozens of shrimps from the pond, brought them back to the cave, and threw them all into the hot spring pit.

Then he helped the boy heat up the water again, until Chu Wuji exclaimed, "Auntie, please collect your magic power, I'm about to be cooked", the green snake withdrew its magic power.

"Just soak it and eat it yourself."

After all, he is a mortal. No matter how good his physical fitness is or how strong his blood recovery ability is, the weakness caused by hunger, cold, injury and lack of rest is enough to take his life.

Qingshe estimated that in the second half of the night, the boy would be too cold to sleep, and if he was unlucky, he might even have a stroke.
