Chapter 57: Passionate Back Mountain Pond

The back mountain pond is hidden in a bamboo forest, and there is no one around. A blue stone path leads directly to it. After turning around a giant stone, you can see a pool of clear spring water accumulated in a small pond built with stones.

The back mountain pond is a natural place. There is a fine spring at the bottom of the pond, which never stops all year round. It is cool in summer, and when winter comes, the spring water emits heat. Originally, this place was where the men of Laoyingzui took baths. Because the pond is halfway up the mountain and it takes a long time to walk, the men dislike the trouble and don't go there much. Until one day, a woman was working by the pond, happened to have her period, wet her body, and washed in the pond, and happened to be seen by others. The men thought that there was women's menstrual blood in the pond, and if they were contaminated, it would ruin their luck, so they gradually stopped coming. Men didn't go, so women came. From then on, it became a paradise for the women of Laoyingzui.

Huang Qishan firmly refused to stay for dinner, saying that there was a meeting at night and he had to rush back. I had no choice but to return to Sister Yue Bai's house alone.

After Zhao Jinming was replaced, I had been living in Sister Yue Bai's house, and she was responsible for my food and drink.

Sister Yue Bai was wearing an apron, directing two young children to serve tea and water. Seeing me come back, she smiled and said, "Eat."

I didn't see Zhao Deliang's shadow, so I asked, "Where is Village Head Zhao?"

"Don't worry about him." Sister Yue Bai said, "Since the troops came, he hasn't returned home once. He sticks to Battalion Commander Zhang every day, and I don't know what he wants to do!"

I said, "Village Head Zhao is busy. With such a big project, he is the only cadre in Laoyingzui, he is worried."

"He will worry about a fart!" After speaking, she felt she had spoken out, and turned her head to giggle embarrassedly.

I pretended not to hear, sat down on a bamboo chair, picked up the clear spring water sent by the young child, and took a big gulp.

The two young children sat around me, one on the left and one on the right, and their chopsticks rolled in the vegetable bowl like fighting. Sister Yue Bai fried a pot of eggs, a bowl of green hollow cabbage, plus a bowl of bacon and a large pot of soup.

It was already dark outside, and the light of the oil lamp reflected the corners of the room. I saw a spider hanging down from the roof, quickly weaving a web in the corner, waiting for the prey to hit it.

Sister Yue Bai held women's underwear in her hand, loosened her hair, shone a flashlight outside, and a beam of light pierced the night sky.

She said to the two young children, "Go to sleep after eating, don't fight."

The two young children answered obediently. The older one said, "Mom, are you going to the back mountain pond?"

Yue Bai didn't answer him. The son said again, "I'll shine the flashlight for you."

Yue Bai touched her son's head and said, "Don't shine the flashlight for me tonight, Mom made an appointment with Auntie De Ping's family, let's go together."

The younger son shouted, "I want to go too."

Yue Bai slapped the younger son's butt and said, "You are not allowed to go, it's dark, and the water is cold. You wash at home." The younger son pouted and wanted to cry.

Yue Bai held her son in her arms, kissed him on the forehead and said, "Be good. Stay at home with your brother. Mom has to find your dad later. You have to go to bed early, or the teacher will scold you if you are late for school tomorrow."

The two sons went into the room obediently, leaving me sitting in the lamp shadow watching Yue Bai clean up the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

I had heard Yue Bai's story, so I broke the silence and said, "Sister Yue Bai, is Director Zhao your classmate?"

Yue Bai hummed in her nose and said, "More than just a classmate." She sighed and said, "It's all in the past, why mention him."

I smiled and said, "A childhood sweetheart relationship."

Yue Bai laughed and said, "And two little guesses."

After speaking, she puckered her mouth at me. I didn't understand what she meant and looked at her.

Yue Bai was in a hurry, kicked me, and whispered, "You go first."

I asked suspiciously, "Didn't you make an appointment with Zhao De Ping's wife?"

Yue Bai stared at me and said, "Then are you going or not?"

I said very embarrassedly, "What am I going for? Watch you two women take a bath?"

Yue Bai rolled her eyes at me and said, "You don't want to see? If you don't want to see, why did you stare at me when you first saw me?"

I was extremely embarrassed. This woman's eyes were really poisonous. I admitted that I was attracted to her at first sight. At that time, I deeply doubted whether a rural woman who didn't know how to maintain herself would have such a charming figure after giving birth to two children.

"You think I really made an appointment with someone else?" She twisted my arm lightly: "Pay attention to walking, don't fall."

My heart was pounding. I stole a glance at Yue Bai. In the dim light, her body was blooming like a narcissus.

It was pitch black outside, and Laoyingzui on the opposite mountain was quiet. A sound of guitar came from the night wind. The soldiers of my uncle's unit would enjoy their rare tranquility at this moment after a busy day.

Sister Yue Bai's old yellow dog sniffed at my trouser legs, wagged its tail, and drilled into the night. I stood for a while, and when my eyes could adapt to the light of the dark night, I walked to the back mountain pond step by step.

After walking a few steps, I heard a rustling sound from behind. Looking back, it was Sister Yue Bai who followed. She didn't say a word and walked past me.

I followed a few steps and said, "Why don't you shine a flashlight?"

Yue Bai covered my mouth with her hand and whispered, "Walk, don't talk."

When I arrived at the back mountain pond, a cool water vapor rushed to my face, and I felt refreshed.

Yue Bai pointed to a large blue stone by the pond and said, "Okay, you just sit here and wait for me. You can talk now. At this time, no one in Laoyingzui comes here."

The stone still retained the warmth of the sun. I watched Yue Bai walk towards the pond and said, "Sister Yue Bai, I'll go down the mountain and wait for you."

Yue Bai looked back and said, "You leave me alone here?"

I said, "It's not convenient for me to be here."

Yue Bai chided, "What's inconvenient? Just close your eyes."

I smiled and said, "I can't close them."

Yue Bai turned back, stood in front of me, stared at my face and said, "If you can't close them, don't close them. Want to see, right? Sister-in-law will show you."

I was stunned.

"Are you afraid?" Sister Yue Bai said with infinite resentment, "Your eyes are so poisonous when you look at others. Now that I give it to you, you are afraid again?" She giggled: "Is it like this to have a lustful heart but no lustful courage?"

I stammered, "Sister Yue Bai, I'm not... I..."

"What are you, you are not, now I want it." Sister Yue Bai pressed me onto the stone without saying a word, muttering in her mouth: "I want to see, where is the difference between those who eat national grain."

She leaned over, her lips close to my lips, and said softly, "Come, kiss me."

Yue Bai pulled me up and said, "Let's wash, I'll help you wash." ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
