Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 126 Hot spring bath in the desert

Li Ling got off the horse and took Jingshu off the horse. He held the horse with one hand and his wife with the other, and headed towards the water area excitedly.

The full moon is in the sky, reflecting the vast sky above the desert like a blue sea, and the crescent-shaped water area shines brightly under the beautiful moonlight.

The two of them walked to the water. Li Ling bent down and reached out to pick up the clear spring water, and said excitedly: "The spring in the desert is really clear."

As if he had found a rare treasure, Li Ling got up and walked happily around the water, stroking his hands and muttering: "There really is such a spring, haha, I finally found it."

Jingshu looked at her childish-looking husband and agreed with a smile: "I didn't expect there was such a spring."

Li Ling pulled his wife over, his bright eyes shining brightly, like a child waiting for an adult to praise him, and he stared at his wife: "How is it? Did your husband find the 'Crescent Moon Spring' that he heard about? "

Of course, Jingshu would not hesitate to say nice words to coax him. She smiled at Li Ling and praised him repeatedly: "My husband is naturally the most powerful and capable."

 Li Ling's resolute face immediately showed a bright smile, and he said proudly: "Worship me?"

Jingshu nodded: "To me, my husband can find such a spring for me to bathe in, which is more useful than your ability to watch the stars for seven days."

She stood on tiptoe and hugged her husband's neck, and said thoughtfully: "My husband is so capable, so naturally I admire him so much."

Seeing Li Ling's cheeks turn slightly red after hearing this, it seems that his vanity has been satisfied. Otherwise, she would not hesitate to say more flattering words to coax him.

A few nice words for nothing can make him happy, so that he can spare no effort to pamper himself, so why not do it.

Jingshu fiddled with the spring water and asked, "How can I take a bath if the water is so cold?"

 “This lady doesn’t have to worry, she has a clever plan for her husband.”

Li Ling saw his wife frowning and immediately acted like a chicken.

 Because of the moisture of this water area, many shrubs grew on the sandy land nearby. Li Ling took off his long sword and cut down some branches in twos and twos, lit a bonfire by the water, then took off a package from the saddle, took out a felt mat from it and spread it beside the bonfire.

Having prepared these, he pulled his wife over and asked her to sit down on the cushion: "Madam, please wait a moment, I will let you take a hot hot spring bath in a while."

As he spoke, he rolled up his trousers and got into the water.

Jingshu called out: "What are you doing in the water? Be careful of catching a cold."

Li Ling smiled at his wife and said, "It's been under the sun all day. If it doesn't get cold, just wait."

The spring water was only knee-deep. Li Ling searched around inside and picked out pieces of water stones that had been polished by the spring water, and kept transporting them to the water's edge.

Jingshu sat warmly by the campfire and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you pick up these stones?"

Li Ling still said the same thing: "Just wait."

 A mysterious look.

Since he didn't want to say anything, Jingshu didn't ask any more questions. She simply lay down on the felt and looked up at the sky to enjoy the night.

This desert is a magical place. When it goes crazy, flying sand and rocks can tear everything into pieces. But if it calms down, it will give people a world of incomparable silence and emptiness, which can wash people's hearts and calm them down.

"It's done. Madam, please come over and observe." Li Ling's excited call made Jingshu calm down. She sat up and saw a sand pit half a person's height dug out on the other side of the bonfire. The sand pit was surrounded by Those smooth stones were tightly built up to form a simple but neat bathtub.

Li Ling removed the two stones on the edge of the "bath", used his long sword to dig a channel between the sand pit and the spring, and slowly introduced the spring water into the pool.

Jingshu looked at her husband's work with surprise and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect you to be so skillful."

Li Ling looked proud, but his work did not stop at all. After the water in the pool was full, he blocked the entrance of the pool with stones, then dug them out from the sand of the bonfire and buried them in advance. They were already roasted. Pick up the big hot rocks with a thick towel and slowly put them into the pool water. When the cold water meets the rolling stones, white steam rises straight up.

This time Jingshu was really impressed by her husband. She stirred the warm and lubricating spring water in the pool and was so happy that she didn't know how to praise this capable husband.

After finishing the pond, Li Ling planted some branches densely around the pond, then took out a piece of cloth from the package he took off the saddle to surround the pond.

He did all this quickly, stood up, bowed to his wife with a smile and said, "Ma'am, please take a bath."

Jingshu took off her clothes inside the curtain, stretched out her slender feet to test the water temperature, and slowly entered the warm and slippery water.

It was so comfortable. Jingshu greedily enjoyed the satisfaction brought by the hot spring water.

Li Ling had been sitting outside the tent. Seeing that she refused to come out for a long time, he asked through the tent: "Is the water still hot?"

After washing for so long, it will naturally feel cold. Jingshu replied: "It's not as warm as before."

Li Ling gently opened the curtain and came in with a rolling stone covered with a thick cloth: "Stay away."

Jingshu leaned her body against the wall of the pool, leaving plenty of space. Li Ling leaned against the pool and slowly put the rolling stone in.

 As the water vapor slowly rose, the spring water immediately became warm again.

Jingshu lay half-lying in the pool and said coquettishly to Li Ling: "This water is really comfortable. I want to soak in it for a while, okay?"

The little wife's palm-sized face was moistened by the water vapor and glowed with crimson. Li Ling looked at her dotingly: "You can stay in there for a while if you like, but it can't be too long. After all, it’s outside, so be careful of catching a cold.”

Jingshu nodded obediently.

Li Ling threw rolling stones into the pool four or five times at regular intervals, but his wife still stayed in the warm water and refused to come out.

 In the end, it was Li Ling who coaxed and persuaded her to get her out. He dried her body carefully, put on her coat, and carried her to the bonfire.

After settling his wife, Li Ling went back to the tent, took off his clothes and jumped into the pool.

Jingshu asked hurriedly: "Is the water cold? Do you want me to speed up the rolling stone for you?"

Li Ling hurriedly replied: "It's not cold, but you must never touch that rolling stone, be careful it will burn your hands."

Li Ling was not like his wife. He washed himself in the pool with a few splashes, and then stepped out of the water.

Li Ling has a slender and well-proportioned body. The moon-white middle coat on his body makes him even more tall and tall. The beautiful moonlight casts a soft halo on his resolute face.

In such a vast field, under the blurred moonlight, her husband at the moment shed his general's aloofness and walked towards her gracefully like a banished immortal.
