Chapter 794
After they had eaten and drunk enough, the reinforcements had not yet arrived. Lin Wanxin saw that Lin Shuangshuang was dirty all over, so she decided to boil water for her to wash her hair and take a bath.
It was getting late, and there was no guesthouse in the town. Even if they went down the mountain in the dark, it would be too late.
They were afraid of something unexpected happening before because they were worried that the two of them wouldn't be able to keep an eye on so many people.
But if a platoon of soldiers came and took away all the people who left the village, they wouldn't have to worry about living here.
The current situation is that they don’t know when the troops will be able to arrive, and they need to keep an eye on so many people, so they basically dare not relax.
Only when Cai Renzhao is around can Lin Wanxin find time to do these chores.
She had been running around in the mountains all day. Although she was a little tired and dirty, she could still bear it.
Now she was in someone else's territory, and no matter how dirty she was, she couldn't take off all her clothes and clean it up.
But she can still ensure her daughter's safety by washing her hair and bathing her.
Lin Wanxin boiled a large pot of hot water and found a large wooden basin from the house.
She took her daughter to the bathroom and filled a large basin with hot water.
"Shuangshuang, mom will help you take a bath, you take off your clothes yourself."
Lin Wanxin was giving instructions while she was working, and she forced Lin Shuangshuang to sit on a small stool.
She raised her head and looked at her blankly, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Because she used to take a bath by the river, and the amount of hot water each person used was limited, it was impossible to have extra for them to bathe.
Every day they took their only two buckets of hot water, added some cold water from the river, and wiped their clothes casually with a rotten towel.
As for taking off clothes to take a bath, it is probably only in the summer when they can take off their outer clothes and take a comfortable bath by the shallow river.
Sometimes they even bathe in the river with their clothes on, then hide behind the bushes to change clothes and go back.
This not only saves you the trouble of washing clothes, but also prevents you from being peeped at while naked in the shower.
The old men in the village would often come to the river when they were not paying attention, and stand on the shore watching them bathe blatantly.
Sometimes the light in their eyes makes people feel uncomfortable.
Lin Shuangshuang has been taking baths with her clothes on since she was old enough to understand.
She had also heard that a little girl who worked with her was dragged into the woods by the old man and raped.
Later, the little girl stayed with the old man and took care of him personally.
She works during the day and sleeps with him at night.
The benefit is that I can eat a little better than before and take a hot bath occasionally.
But after a while, the old man became disgusted with her. It was said that she kept pestering him and refused to work properly, so the villagers threw her to feed the dogs.
Whenever Lin Shuangshuang thought of her, she would remind herself that even if she had to eat steamed buns every day and never had a hot bath, she would never follow in the footsteps of that little girl.
Now that she had a full meal and could take a comfortable bath, Lin Shuangshuang always felt like she was in a dream.
Even the bowl of noodles she had just eaten seemed unreal in its deliciousness.
Lin Wanxin had made all the preparations, but Lin Shuangshuang was still sitting there motionless.
"Shuangshuang, come and take a shower."
Lin Shuangshuang walked over obediently and sat directly in the basin.
"Shuangshuang, you need to take off your clothes to take a shower. Take off your clothes first and then come over."
Lin Shuangshuang stood there without moving. Lin Wanxin had no choice but to walk up to her and help her take off her clothes herself.
"Come, let mom help you. How can you wash yourself clean while taking a bath with your clothes on?"
While Lin Wanxin was unbuttoning her clothes, Lin Shuangshuang stood there motionless.
After taking off the dirty clothes, Lin Shuangshuang's thin, frail, and scarred body was revealed.
Lin Wanxin only took one look and her eyes immediately turned red.
