Mu Qing felt that he had been tricked. She waited anxiously, but it never came. When she thought it would never come again and was mentally prepared, it suddenly arrived in her sleep.

She should be very happy. After all, being pregnant now is not good news for her. But she actually didn't feel as happy as she imagined, she was just slightly relieved. Then she felt a little embarrassed, not wanting Li Mang to find out that she had soiled the animal skin.

Mu Qing gently moved his arms around her and took out a menstrual belt from a hole on the edge of the pillow. She hid this thing and the saber in her pillow. Then she tiptoed to the wall, where there was a jar containing some plant ashes that she had collected a few days ago. He carefully put it in, tied it up, and tied it to himself.

Before the invention of sanitary napkins, this was how women treated these days of the month. As long as you wash it every day, it should be fairly hygienic.

Mu Qing tied the belt and turned around to get the apron she had knitted and sewed with boiled soft rattan a few days ago. She only had one pair of pants, and she was afraid that they would be stained by penetration and would not be able to be washed off, so she got herself a long skirt that reached below her knees, which was easier to wear these days. When he turned around, he was startled. Li Mang had woken up at some point and was sitting in front of the puddle of stains, staring at her with an extremely troubled expression.

Mu Qing almost jumped up and his face turned red. Although she was somewhat used to being naked with him, the process of being seen by him was like a woman being caught secretly wearing **** lingerie and posing for admiration. It was extremely embarrassing. He hurriedly reached for the rattan skirt. Li Mang moved faster than her, picked up her skirt and handed it to her. Then he stretched out his hand and carefully poked the bulging cloth bag between her legs.

Mu Qing was completely speechless. Just pretending that she didn't see it, Enclave put on her skirt.

It stands to reason that he was so eager to have children that he only focused on her fertilization period. Now that he saw her menstruation, he should be a little disappointed. But looking at his appearance just now, curiosity dominated the majority. This puzzled her. Thinking about it again, there are no menstrual hygiene classes here, and probably no one here would go out of his way to tell him that a woman's menstruation means she is not pregnant. Seeing that he is usually very careless, he probably didn't pay attention to this at all, so he just didn't understand. Don’t you know?

Mu Qing suddenly felt a little funny, but it didn't show on his face. He just used the dried blades of tissue paper she used to wipe the stains left on the animal skin. Several leaves have been used up, and the wet marks are gone, but the imprint is still there. He raised his head suddenly and saw Li Mang tilting his head and looking at his busy work. The curious expression just now disappeared, replaced by the look of watching a good show. I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, so I rolled my eyes at him, pushed him up, rolled up the whole piece of animal skin, and planned to take it to the stream, so I took the opportunity to wash it all and then dry it.

Li Mang smiled and took the rolled-up animal skin from her hand, put it on his shoulder, and walked towards the stream with her.

There was still a moist smell in the air. Mu Qing wore sandals and felt a chill when the dew on the grass and leaves on the roadside had not been evaporated by the heat of the sun.

Li Mang has always walked faster than her, and now he is also walking a lot behind her. Mu Qing followed slowly, looking at his tall back, feeling very relieved.

Li Mang seemed to feel her looking at him from behind, stopped, turned around and smiled at her. Mu Qing was about to take a few steps to catch up with him, when he suddenly hesitated.

She saw Yijia and Yaoyao suddenly walking over from the opposite path, as if they were going back to the settlement. Yaoyao feels a little unkempt. She usually gets up late on weekdays, but this was the first time she met him so early.

Yao Yao saw them at a glance, and her expression suddenly became ugly. She stood there motionless, her dark eyes squinting at Mu Qing faintly. Next to her, Yijia had his usual careless smile on his face. When he saw Mu Qing, his smile only grew stronger and he winked at her.

Seeing Mu Qing standing still, Li Mang thought she blamed him for not waiting for her while walking, and for being playful with him, so he laughed and strode back to her. Mu Qing's vision was blocked by him. When Li Mang took her hand and turned around to continue moving forward, the two of them had disappeared, disappearing suddenly like elves.

There were dense bushes on both sides of the path. They should duck and go the other way if they didn't want to face Li Mang like this.

When Mu Qing passed by where they were standing just now, if the branches on the side hadn't been shaking slightly, she would have thought she was dazzled.

Mu Qing's good mood was gone. She was bothered by Yaoyao's pair of dark eyes that were leering at her just now, and she felt inexplicably depressed.

Li Mang was very sensitive to the strangeness in her and lowered his head to look at her face carefully. Mu Qing raised his head and smiled at him, then brushed off a hay leaf from his hair. Li Mang immediately doubted his presence and took her hand. The two of them went to the stream and washed the animal skin, dried it, rolled it up and took it back to dry.

Mu Qing very forgot about the chance encounter that morning. Her period has also passed. That evening, I went to the stream with Naduo. Naduo went upstream to get water for cooking, then went back after getting the water. She squatted by the stream, washed and changed out of her menstrual belt.

There's nothing here to help with washing, not even soap locust. She just had to bring plant ash in a bowl to use as an alkaline detergent to wash the fabric more cleanly, so as to extend its service life.

As Mu Qing washed the fabric in the water, he couldn't help but think of the embarrassing things Li Mang did a few days ago. On the first night, he got into his old ways and wanted to get closer to smell it, but she grabbed his hair and severely stopped her. Although she let it go, he looked very unhappy. In the next two nights, this embarrassing scene was repeated between the two. Mu Qing vowed that she would continue to prohibit him from doing this in the future, so as to prevent him from developing the bad habit of snooping around when nothing happened. It was expected that he would not dare to do anything to her now. By last night, he probably knew that she wouldn't let him succeed, so he turned his attention to her menstrual belt. When she was changing the belt, he not only rushed to help her fill it with straw ash, but also insisted on putting it on for her himself. Mu Qing couldn't resist, so he had to let him go. As a result, when I woke up this morning, I found that the animal hide and both of their bodies were covered in black grass ash. It turned out that he didn't do it properly when he pricked her mouth last night, and the plant ash inside leaked out when she turned over at night, and got everywhere. Fortunately it was already the night after, otherwise this scene would have been so heroic...

Mu Qing recalled how he kept scratching his head in embarrassment when she glared at him this morning, and couldn't help but laugh lowly.

There were footsteps behind him. Mu Qing thought it was another woman coming and did not look back. But soon she felt something was wrong. A black shadow hooded his head. When she wanted to turn around, she was already being hugged by someone from behind.

That's a man's arm, but it's not Limang.

Mu Qing turned around suddenly and almost bumped into Yijia's face.

Mu Qing struggled a few times, but instead of letting go, Yijia hugged her tightly. She heard him chuckling behind her, as if this was something very interesting.

He probably forgot about the scratch he had last time.

Mu Qing lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the remaining plant ash in the bowl at his feet. Without thinking, he reached out and grabbed a handful, turned back and waved violently and threw it towards his face.

Yijia yelled and suddenly released his grip on her. There must have been ash in his eyes and some in his mouth. While coughing violently, he leaned into the stream to wash his eyes.

Mu Qing grabbed his own cloth and didn't even bother to take the bowl. He turned around and ran towards the settlement. But it seemed that the situation was not as smooth as last time. She didn't run very far before Yijia got up and chased her, shouting something angrily.

Mu Qing wore sandals on her feet. She couldn't run very fast. In order to make her legs longer, she caught up with him in a few seconds. Mu Qing turned around and saw that not far behind him, his head and face were wet, and there were some ash marks on it that had not been washed away by the water. It was black and white, and he looked very embarrassed. Although his eyes could be opened, he was still very uncomfortable, and he had an angry look on his face, so his entire expression looked ferocious.

Mu Qing was shocked. She didn’t expect Yijia to be so bold. The women in this settlement who often come and go by this stream dared to chase her like this. She yelled, turned around and continued to flee, but her foot got stuck on the ground. A heartbreaking pain came from the cracks in the stones, and his center of gravity became unstable and he fell to the ground.

Her feet should be sprained. But at this moment, she could no longer feel the pain, because Yijia had already taken advantage of the situation and pounced on her, turning her over roughly, then kneeling on top of her, glaring at her with wide eyes.

Mu Qing reached out to touch the pebbles beside her. He noticed it immediately and held her hands down violently.

Obviously, this normally smiling man has been irritated by her.

Mu Qing was so pressed by him that he could not move. But strangely, the shock just now slowly disappeared. She tried her best to suppress her rapidly beating heart and stared at him coldly, with some disdain and contempt.

Yijia Jugao stared at her for a while, and the anger gradually disappeared from his face. He suddenly squeezed his eyes hard, probably still feeling very uncomfortable. Then he took back his hand, rubbed it hard, and opened and closed his eyes repeatedly.

If he hadn't been in a bad situation, Mu Qing would have thought he looked a little funny like this. She frowned and pushed him away.

She felt that Yijia's expression was a little loose, and when he seemed to be hesitating, she suddenly heard a roar not far above her head. A tall figure rushed over like a whirlwind, and with a bang, Yi Jia was sitting on top of her and was knocked to the ground heavily.

It's Li Mang who's coming.

Mu Qing got free and immediately turned over and climbed up to sit on the ground, watching Li Mang angrily punch Yijia on the face and body.

For the first time, Mu Qing knew that fighting between men could be so terrifying. It was completely different to scratch hair and fingernails when fighting with a woman. Especially now, facing Li Mang's heavy punch, Yijia just protected his head and face and seemed to have no intention of fighting back.

Li Mang seemed even more angry. He punched him hard and knocked him to the ground. Then he squatted down and yelled something at him angrily.

Yijia slowly sat up from the ground and looked at him levelly. He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly started yelling.

He was talking very fast, and his expression became more and more excited. When he arrived, his whole face looked completely red. Reflecting the original ash marks on the vegetation and the blood stains from Li Mang's blow just now, it looked very strange.

Mu Qing didn't know what he said, but Li Mang was obviously shocked by his words. She saw his frown getting tighter and tighter, his expression as sinister as the dark clouds in the sky before a snowstorm, and his clenched fist clenching tightly, pressing it tightly against the ground, as if he was holding back from hitting him again.

But Yijia suddenly took action. When he got excited, he suddenly punched Li Mang hard in the face. Li Mang turned his head to avoid it, but the punch was too powerful, as if all of Yijia's anger had been condensed, and he was still beaten until he fell to the ground on his back.

Mu Qing felt it faintly. Between the two men, they started fighting for her. But now, their fight should have nothing to do with her.

She screamed and subconsciously tried to help him up, but as soon as she tried to stand, she felt a pain in her ankle. She groaned lowly and sat back down on the ground.

Li Mang heard her voice and quickly stood up and came to her side. He noticed at a glance that her right ankle was slightly swollen. He frowned and stretched out his hand to pinch it gently. He probably knew that no bones were injured. His expression changed. After relaxing a little, he reached out and picked her up, strode towards the settlement, and never looked back at Yijia.

Mu Qing shrank into his arms and relaxed completely. Only then did she realize that she was still holding tightly on the piece of cloth that had caused the trouble. I couldn't help but raise my eyes and secretly glanced at Yijia after being thrown away. Seeing him still sitting there, staring at Li Mang's retreating back, he looked miserable, but there was still a trace of stubbornness and loneliness in his expression.
