Chapter 857: Chapter 0857: Slippery Hot Spring Water 5

Feng Qingxue had a few skewers of roasted vegetables, a little bit of chicken wings, and lamb skewers, leaving the rest to be devoured by Lu Jiang, who had also taken a stack of flatbreads from Qingxue to wrap around the lamb skewers.

"Daddy is a rice bucket!" Xibao giggled.

Curious after applying the snow cream, Fubao asked, "What’s a bucket? That one?" She pointed at the water bucket next to them.

Feng Qingxue gave Xibao’s head a pat, "Apologize to Daddy. Who taught you to say that?"

"Sorry, Daddy, I shouldn’t have called you a rice bucket." In this regard, Xibao was quite obedient, apologizing immediately, then tattling, "Daddy, you can settle the score with Uncle Zhao, he’s the one who told Dabao, saying that Daddy is a rice bucket who can eat so much, so much rice, and that’s why Dabao got skinny from hunger."

Before they were three years old, the little ones would always speak so slowly, but now their little mouths chattered away like machine guns.

"Your Uncle Zhao never teaches you anything good, I’ll settle the score with him later!" Lu Jiang patted his son’s head, cleaned up the mess, and, once everything was in order, strolled around with Feng Qingxue and the two children.

Although it was already evening, with a cool breeze in the air, it was still bright enough to clearly see the surrounding scenery.

The Dezong hot springs were located in a mountain hollow, with steam billowing upwards.

"The temperature is quite high, Xibao and Fubao probably can’t get in the water. Bring the bathing tubs tomorrow, so they can soak in those instead."

Feng Qingxue was taken aback, "Tomorrow?"

Lu Jiang said, "It gets cold at night, normal for it to be several degrees below zero, who can bathe in hot springs at night? You can easily get chilled after coming out. Tomorrow, after the sun comes up and it warms up, we’ll come soak in the hot springs again."

"Alright, just remember to remind me to bring my swimsuit."

Hearing his wife’s words, Lu Jiang suddenly smiled and said nothing.

They had been eagerly waiting to soak in the hot springs the next day, but when they arrived, they found many people already there.

Clad in Tibetan robes, they were all Tibetans.

Seeing Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang, they all expressed their surprise.

Having been stationed there for a long time and interacting with the Tibetans during missions, Lu Jiang, who understood Tibetan, quickly greeted one of the elders with a smile, "I’ve brought my wife and kids to bathe in the sacred springs."

The other party was very enthusiastic, "Oh, great, great, our sacred springs can cleanse impurities and diseases, bringing health!"

A smart person like Feng Qingxue, being in Tibet, had already, along with Guo Xiuying and others, promoted sanitary knowledge and treated diseases for the Tibetans, therefore she naturally learned some simple Tibetan as well and was familiar with some Tibetan customs. She chatted with the locals alongside Lu Jiang with ease and pleasure.

Soon, several young women and girls pulled Feng Qingxue off to bathe, taking Fubao with them.

The male and female hot springs were separated by simple barriers made of stones and wooden planks.

The spring water was crystal clear, with the bottom in plain sight.

With the temperature reaching over forty degrees, Fubao sat at the edge of the hot springs supporting her chin, unwilling to enter the water, repeatedly fussing, "Hot, hot!" she gestured at the steaming vapors.

Feng Qingxue felt quite regretful about not being able to bathe in the hot springs with her husband and children.

When she took off her outer clothes, revealing the swimsuit underneath, a very conservative style, the black color further contrasting her skin as white as snow.

A lively girl with many small braids, Basang Zhuoma, said with a gleeful smile, "Don’t wear clothes, wearing clothes while bathing in the sacred springs will bring you no healing benefits, look at us!"

Turning her head, Feng Qingxue saw that all of them were stark-naked, swimming freely in the hot springs.
