Fengzhu Village.
A sudden downpour descended on Fengzhu Mountain.
Liu Ergou and his sister-in-law had been gathering herbs when the deluge soaked them to the bone. They ran frantically until they finally found shelter in a small mountain cabin.
"That's odd. The rain just started out of nowhere, without any warning."
"Er Gou, you need to get out of those wet clothes," his sister-in-law urged. "This rain is bone-chilling. You can't get sick."
The rain had saturated his sister-in-law's clothes, causing them to cling tightly to her body. Her voluptuous curves were on full display. It seemed she wasn't wearing a bra; the chill from the spring rain had caused two hard points to pucker against the fabric.
Liu Ergou glanced over, and a deep blush crept across his face before he quickly averted his gaze.
My sister-in-law is so damn beautiful. Even before marrying into our family, she was famous for her beauty all over the region. So many suitors came calling that they nearly wore down her family's doorstep.
But just a year after she married his older brother, they had a fight. He left to find work in the city and now only comes back once a year for the New Year holiday.
Their family had lived in Fengzhu Village for generations, their medical skills passed down through the ages. To make herb gathering easier, their ancestors had built several small cabins in the mountains for overnight stays.
"Er Gou, what are you spacing out for? Hurry up and get undressed!" his sister-in-law chided playfully.
Her delicate, soft hands reached out for him.
The sight of her figure sent a throbbing through Liu Ergou's loins. His face burning, he quickly pushed her hands away. "Sister-in-law, don't. I can do it myself."
His sister-in-law, Xu Yulan, couldn't help but chuckle. "What's wrong, Er Gou? All grown up and shy now? Have you forgotten who still washes your underwear for you?"
Liu Ergou's face turned beet red. "Sister-in-law, please stop..." he mumbled, mortified.
"Alright, alright. Just hurry and take your clothes off." Unbothered, Xu Yulan took the initiative and began stripping off her own.
SNAP!
Xu Yulan's flawless upper body was revealed before him. She really hadn't been wearing a bra. Her ample bosom left Liu Ergou utterly dumbfounded.
Then, she slipped off her pants, revealing she wore nothing underneath either. The sight of her pale, glistening skin made Liu Ergou's mouth go dry.
"Sister-in-law, you..." Liu Ergou desperately wanted to look away, but he couldn't.
She's just too beautiful. So beautiful it sent an illicit itch crawling under my skin.
Xu Yulan paid him no mind. She walked to the corner of the cabin, grabbed some firewood, lit it with a match, and arranged their clothes on a rack to dry by the fire. Seemingly oblivious to his stare, she even bent over to gather the firewood, presenting a perfect view of her rear.
This is the first time I've ever seen a woman's body.
Outside, the mountain fog brought by the storm shrouded the entire peak. Rain sluiced down the mountainside in rushing rivulets, flowing into the small creek and onward toward the fragrant meadows below. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Er Gou, why haven't you taken your clothes off yet?" Xu Yulan had already started the fire and turned to see Liu Ergou still standing there in a daze.
"I..." Liu Ergou started to speak, but then glanced down at his trousers and hurriedly turned away.
"Are you afraid to get undressed? Don't worry, I won't laugh at you," Xu Yulan giggled.
"Sister-in-law, I'll just dry off like this." Liu Ergou truly didn't dare to strip. It's too embarrassing! How could I let my sister-in-law see me bare-chested? It's just not right.
"This is a spring rain; you'll catch a cold!" Xu Yulan laughed, and with one swift motion, she yanked down Liu Ergou's pants.
Liu Ergou froze, completely stunned. He felt a jolt run through him. There was a brief twinge of pain, but it was quickly replaced by a far more peculiar sensation.
Xu Yulan turned him around to help him with his shirt. But when she saw the state he was in, she paused. Her eyes fixed on him, and a blush colored her cheeks.
After her first year of marriage, her husband had stopped sharing a bed with her. Every year when he returned for the holiday, he would just give her some money and sleep in a separate room. She knew that every time he came back, he was with that vixen from the village, and he would disappear as soon as night fell. All these years, that vixen had completely stolen her husband's heart, leaving her alone to painstakingly hold their home together. For countless days and nights, she had felt the longing too. But all she could do was writhe alone in her bed, moaning without release.
As Xu Yulan stood there in a daze, one of her delicate, soft hands crept up Liu Ergou's body.
Liu Ergou shuddered, his mind going completely blank.
A small snake, seeking refuge from the rain, slithered up a thick tree trunk, its body moving sinuously along the rough bark.
"Er Gou..." A fine mist veiled Xu Yulan's eyes.
Looking at her, Liu Ergou felt a sudden, impulsive surge of courage. He pulled her into an embrace and crushed his lips against hers. It was his first time kissing a woman, and his movements were clumsy. Xu Yulan, however, guided his hand, placing it gently upon her own body, which made him lose all self-control.
"Sister-in-law, I'm about to explode," Liu Ergou panted. "Please, let me..." All rational thought had fled his mind. In his eyes, there was only Xu Yulan.
KNOCK, KNOCK.
Just then, a series of urgent knocks rattled the door.
"Er Gou, is that you in there? Hurry and open the door for your auntie! I'm about to drown out here!"
The voice from outside shattered the charged atmosphere in the cabin, and the two of them flew into a panic. From the sound of it, it was the village head's wife. That old crone was the biggest gossip in the village; all she had to do was plant herself at the village entrance, and rumors would fly. If she discovered what was happening between Liu Ergou and Xu Yulan, the news would spread through all of Fengzhu Village before the night was over.
"Auntie, now's not a good time!" Liu Ergou shouted frantically. "Maybe you should head back down the mountain?"
"Er Gou, what nonsense are you spouting? The rain's pouring, and the path is slippery! Are you trying to get your auntie killed by sending me back down? Open this door right now!" the voice outside demanded.
Xu Yulan didn't even have time to get dressed. Clutching her clothes, she looked around frantically until she spotted a pile of firewood and scrambled to hide behind it. She too was terrified of being found by the village head's wife. That old crone was the one who had started the rumors that she seduced men in the village, which was why her own husband had gone to the city and so rarely returned.
"Auntie, my clothes are all wet and torn, you really can't come in..." Liu Ergou said, breathing a small sigh of relief once he saw Xu Yulan was hidden.
"Your two little hairs? You think your auntie hasn't seen that before? Open the door!" The voice outside was growing angrier.
Liu Ergou had no choice but to sullenly go and open the door.
The woman outside was also soaked to the bone. The drenched fabric clung tightly to her chest, revealing two large mounds. Just as Liu Ergou stared in shock, he saw that the woman outside had frozen as well, her eyes wide...
