Wei Cheng nodded calmly and said with certainty: "Yes, I felt hot as soon as I entered the valley. I thought it was due to the terrain. It wasn't until I tasted the spring water in the stream that I was sure that there were hot springs surging underground.
"
This was not a surprise to him. He had basically been to several hot spring resorts in the province in later years. Because some special prescriptions needed to be combined with hot spring recuperation, he even had the Supreme Gold Card of many hot spring resorts.
However, I didn't expect that Cai Yan and others were so eager for the hot springs that they were all gearing up to start digging the soil themselves.
Wei Cheng hurriedly grabbed Cai Yan and snatched the medicine hoe from her hand, "Don't just join in the fun, leave this job to me."
Cai Yan said with some excitement: "Husband, go dig a bigger one. An Ning and I will dig a smaller one and soak your feet first."
Oh, it's been arranged.
Wei Cheng looked towards Hao Niang and signaled her to take good care of Cai Yan.
Hao Niang is more careful in her work, and with her watching from the side, Wei Cheng feels more at ease.
Moreover, Cai Yan just wanted to dig a small pool to soak her feet, so it wouldn't be too tiring for her... There was a free labor force nearby.
When Lu Ling heard that there was a hot spring, he also became interested. The horses couldn't run away anyway, so he wanted to enjoy the hot spring first.
After grabbing the small medicine hoe from An Ning and Niu Niu, Lu Ling opened his bow from left to right and dug out a waist-deep pool in a short time.
The hot spring water also continuously seeps out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is the water line that Wei Cheng deduced based on the depth of the creek next to it. Sure enough, the hot spring water seeping out is steaming.
Cai Yan and others screamed with excitement, holding hands and jumping up and down.
Seeing this, Wei Cheng hurriedly handed the hoe to Xu Chu who was aside, and went over to hold Cai Yan.
Hey guys, don't jump away from my son.
The next step is to wait for the sediment in the hot spring to settle. The spring water that has just begun to seep out is still relatively turbid.
After precipitation, the hot springs that seep out are clean.
Taking advantage of this period, Wei Cheng asked Xiaohua to find some pheasant or wild duck eggs in the mountains, hoping to make hot spring eggs.
When Aning and Niu Niu heard Wei Cheng say that they wanted to make delicious food, they also said that they wanted to go looking for eggs together. Initially, Wei Cheng was worried about them going, but it turned out that Lu Ling, who was even more greedy, took the lead... Then
No problem, this girl can probably fight a tiger one on one.
In addition to Cai Yan and Hao Niang, Zhong Chan and Aunt Niu also joined the search for wild eggs.
As for the men, they looked around for flat stones and built a circle of stones around the hot spring pool, firstly to prevent the edge from collapsing, and secondly to have a place to stay to avoid stepping on the mud at the bottom of the pool.
"Just lay a layer of stone slabs under the pool, and build a stone wall with ashlar stones around it. Let's deal with it for one night, and then let the construction team come in later. We can build a hot spring resort here, and you can take a dip even in the summer. Yes
Good health."
Wei Cheng was directing from the side, Xu Chu, Zhong Xian, Wei Mu and several old servants responsible for feeding the horses quickly built a simple hot spring pool.
At this time, the tent specially prepared by Wei Mu was crucial. Several grown men worked together to move the tent above the pool, directly covering the entire hot spring pool. This not only protected privacy, but also provided an extra place to change clothes.
"Done!"
Wei Cheng clapped his hands and asked Cai Yan and Hao Niang for credit.
Not long after, Lu Ling and his party also came back, holding various eggs in their hands, including wild eggs, wild duck eggs, and eggs of various birds.
Wei Cheng even saw a dozen snake eggs, but he didn't know where Lu Ling found the hibernating snake nest.
"Hey, why is the pond we dug missing?" Aning exclaimed.
The girls were all shocked when they heard this and looked around. There used to be a pool next to the tent, but why was it missing now?
However, Aunt Niu was very attentive. She pulled Aning and Niu Niu, who were about to plow the snow, and pointed at the tent and said, "Look at it quickly."
At this time, Cai Yan and Hao Niang opened the tent curtain and were smiling and waving to them.
"Come and see, the divine soup has become clear." Cai Yan pointed to the pool in the tent and said.
Hearing this, everyone swarmed into the tent. Of course, Xu Chu was guarding the door. No other man could enter except Wei Cheng.
When they saw the pool made of stones, the eyes of all the girls lit up.
Wei Cheng picked up a makeshift dustpan and motioned for everyone to put the eggs in... During this time, he separated Lu Ling's snake eggs in disgust.
Wei Cheng put the dustpan into the center of the pool and said with a smile: "When we feel comfortable, the eggs will be ready to be eaten."
Everyone laughed and nodded, looking forward to it.
Wei Cheng walked to the side of a clothes hanger made of tree branches, took off his fox fur and hung it up. From the looks of it, he was planning to be one of the first people to soak in the hot springs.
Not to be outdone, Aning and Niu Niu took a bath with Wei Cheng and Cai Yan on weekdays. The two children were not even ten years old, so they didn't have to avoid suspicion. They stripped off and jumped into the hot spring pool in a few seconds, giving out silver bells.
Such laughter.
Aunt Niu said goodbye to Cai Yan with a natural expression and walked out of the tent. She was a domestic servant, so she knew the rules...but before leaving, she couldn't help but glance at Lu Ling.
As for Cai Yan, Hao Niang, and Zhong Chan, they have been to bathhouses together countless times, so there is no need to avoid them.
The only awkward person at the scene was Lu Ling.
When she saw Aunt Niu walking out of the tent, she realized something was wrong.
At this time, he saw Wei Cheng taking off his cloak and untying his belt, and his starry eyes suddenly tightened.
next moment.
Wei Cheng felt his eyes darken, raised his head and met Lu Ling's powerful eyes.
"You, what are you doing?" Wei Cheng hurriedly protected his crotch and tightened his belt again.
Lu Ling pointed to the door and said, "Get out."
Wei Cheng:(?Д?*)?
"Why?"
Lu Ling crossed his arms and stood between Wei Cheng and the hot spring with a golden sword, and said in a deep voice: "You are a slut, don't you understand the difference between men and women?"
Wei Cheng laughed angrily, pointed at Cai Yan and said, "Please understand, this is the wife I am marrying, and you are the one who should get out!"
Cai Yan covered his mouth and snickered.
Lu Ling's eyelids trembled and she looked at Hao Niang and Zhong Chan coldly.
Hao Niang and Zhong Chan were startled at first, and then looked at Wei Cheng expectantly.
Wei Cheng did not disappoint them and responded angrily: "They are my unmarried wives. Why, no?"
Hao Niang and Zhong Chan walked shyly to Cai Yan's side, looking a bit like a husband and wife accompanying each other.
When Lu Ling saw this, his face became even colder.
At this time, Aning and Niu Niu were lying on the edge of the pool and shouted: "We, we, there are still us!"
Wei Cheng shouted angrily: "You two, don't make trouble."
Aning and Niu Niu pouted and were very unhappy.
Wei Cheng looked directly at Lu Ling, no matter what, he was going to subdue this woman today!
But the next second.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Let me go... Ouch, damn, where are you grabbing me?"
Wei Cheng felt as if the world was spinning before his eyes. A huge force twisted him to the door, and then he was kicked on the butt, and he flew out uncontrollably.
Fortunately, Xu Chu, who was at the door, reacted in time and reached out to hold Wei Cheng's arm, thus preventing Wei Cheng from jumping into the mud.
Wei Chengfang, who was still frightened, came to his senses and angrily pointed at Lu Ling in front of the door and cursed: "Lü Ling, you, you are going too far!"
Lu Ling's reply was a cold snort and a disdainful look.
The long-legged girl sneered, clapped her hands smartly, turned around and tightened the door curtain, blocking Wei Cheng from the cold wind outside...
