Ancient Eden - Chapter 137
~End of chapter 136
Mu Qing aroused the longing he had for his people, just like how she suddenly missed Youyou and Naduo after waking up from her dream.
With a low sigh, she reached out and wrapped her bare arms around his head, keeping him pressed against her bosom. In the darkness, she gently patted his back like a child, until his even, low breathing sounded in her ears.
The snow had been falling endlessly for nearly half a month. The waterfalls and streams very quickly became frozen and turned into ice sculptures, and buried by the thick snow, no trace of the original scenery could be seen.
The whole world turned into a sea of ice and snow.
Chapter 137
(42.4)
Every day Li Mang had to go out wrapped up like an Eskimo to remove the snow from the path that led out of here. Otherwise this passage would very quickly be blocked by the thick snow.
Now he was no longer harboring prejudice against that hot pool, and instead often encouraged her to go there even when she herself was too lazy to go out because she was afraid of the cold, and also offered a complete service: carrying her there wrapped up in a tiger skin, and then carrying her back wrapped up again. Her feet didn’t even come into contact with one snowflake. Naturally, he wanted a pay back : he liked to lie by the pool, which was no higher than his waist, and had her stand behind him to slowly scrub his back.

Mu Qing found that the rough skin on the back of her hands that had been a little chapped was slowly improving, the flakes fish scale dry lines on her calves due to the dry cold weather also disappeared, and she suspected that it was the role of the hot spring water.
Anyway, she had nothing to do, so she simply went to soak there almost every day, and when she was done soaking inside, it wasn’t enough, she also had Li Mang take the water for her to wash her face and body every morning. She did not know whether the water really had an effect or if it was a psychological effect, but she slowly felt that the skin on her whole body was much more smooth and delicate to the touch than before.
The only thing that was a bit depressing was that she had gained some weight compared to before, probably due to eating meat every day and not exercising much, so the fat was starting to accumulate. She was a little dissatisfied, but Li Mang seemed to be very fascinated, and used all of the energy that he had no place to spend on her body, hugging and kissing and touching, and he never had enough, so she was relieved. As long as he didn’t despise her for it.
The winters here seemed so long that it was as if there was no end of it in sight. Even the best hot spring, and the most beautiful snowy scenery, when it became a regular part of life, would end up becoming a bit boring.
The contents of Mu Qing’s life was indeed never changing. Apart from soaking in the hot spring, eating and drinking, satisfying Li Mang at all times, she spent the rest of her time teaching him to count, teaching him to say “I love you”, drawing cars, airplanes, and all sorts of other modern objects on the rock walls with one soft-textured white stone, explaining the objects to him endlessly, even telling him all sorts of stories about the different kinds of things she encountered when she used to be a tour guide, exaggerating a lot of course. Seeing him flabbergasted by what she was saying, she had the feeling that she was alive.
In truth, she just needed to find something to do, this way the time would pass quickly.
When she told him, in all seriousness, that one day in the future, a person would go to the trouble of flying to the moon in a tool that could fly in the sky, only to find that there was nothing there but a pitted surface of sand and gravel, Li Mang laughed out loud happily, and rubbed her hair hard, messing it up. He wondered how could her mind come up with such strange ideas. But it was funny.
He really enjoyed listening to her make things up like that. She grunted at him and retorted back, “You don’t believe me, so where do you think that thing I brought over that can see into the distance comes from? There is also that sharp knife, and the flashlight that can glow after basking in the sun …… Didn’t you ask me before where I came from? I’ll tell you now, I’m actually from a world where you can fly to the moon and I was accidentally struck by lightning, which brought me here, and I coincidentally fell into your trap. Maybe one day, another thunder will strike and I will go back there again, and then I will never come back.”
She just finished saying these words with a smile on her face, but immediately regretted it. Because she saw the smile in Li Mang’s eyes slowly freeze, and a shadow that looked a bit hurt swept across his face.
