Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Squandering Heaven’s Resources
Bai Junjun could not only help Bai Sasa dry her clothes but also take the opportunity to dry her own damp body, killing two birds with one stone.
They had no choice, after all, who let them be penniless refugees fleeing disaster?
In these wilderness forests, food is easy to come by, but clothing is a bit more troublesome.
They had no silkworms, nor could they wait for spring silkworms to spin silk and then slowly draw the threads and unwind the cocoons to weave fabric; they only had the set of clothes on their backs whose original color was no longer distinguishable.
But no matter how ragged, they must cherish them, or else they’d end up naked.
Although Bai Junjun was the eldest sister, Bai Sasa was the one who took charge of everyone’s daily life.
After Bai Sasa finished bathing, she went to urge her little brothers to take a bath.
The two kids had been very curious about the bathroom, and finally, it was their turn to experience it, so they rushed to go in first.
To save water, Bai Sasa let them go in together.
The clothing of Bai Lingyu and Xiao Shan was naturally washed by Bai Sasa since they were just four or five-year-old kids. Asking them to wash their own clothes could end in them remaining dirty or worse, tearing them, which would spell disaster for both.
So Bai Sasa only gave them one clear goal, to monitor each other and make sure they were clean.
The two kids nodded seriously upon hearing this, and from time to time, one could hear their conversations from the bathroom.
"You still don’t have bubbles on your butt."
"Yikes, the bubbles on your neck are so dark."
...
The setting sun gradually sank, yet the place still brimmed with life.
Bai Junjun watched for a while, making sure there was no opportunity for her to emit light and heat before she went upstairs.
However, the fresh and clean Bai Junjun, seeing the straw mat in the room, couldn’t help but think that these past few days they hadn’t been fussy at all, often lying down on this soft bed covered in mud.
Bai Junjun felt it was necessary to maintain some level of cleanliness in the room, otherwise, the bath and washing of clothes would all be in vain.
So she activated her Special Ability, letting the dry and soft grass in the jungle gather once again towards her room.
Only after new grass and soft vines had been woven into a new mat, replacing the old one, did Bai Junjun sit down, satisfied.
Looking at the increasingly dark sky, Bai Junjun’s gaze unconsciously drifted to the candle on the small coffee table.
Remembering there was no light downstairs, Bai Junjun began to fiddle with the candle on the desk, planning to divide it in half for the lower floor.
It was lucky that yesterday, in order to keep Bai Sasa busy, she had made many square stools for them to work on crafts, and in one afternoon Bai Sasa and Xiao Shan had made many small boxes and tubes.
Bai Junjun casually chose one to fill with lard and also cut two lengths of wick before getting up and heading to the second floor.
At that moment, Li Wenli was sitting by the entrance on the second floor watching the sunset, his clear, handsome face looking especially mysterious against the backdrop of the evening glow.
Dressed in clean, orderly clothes, his hair had been neatly tied behind his back since she first saw him, as if it would never become disheveled.
Bai Junjun had to admit defeat. With hair so long, how did he manage to keep every strand in place?
Could this be the basic accomplishment of ancient people?
But whether this man was from ancient times was still a matter for debate.
Li Wenli, noticing the girl who had come to visit but remained quiet, couldn’t help but curve his lips into a smile: "What are you zoning out for?"
Bai Junjun, acting on impulse, asked the doubt in her mind, and Li Wenli smiled.
"I suppose the gentle breeze understands me, for it can’t bear to disturb my hair," he said.
"..." Bai Junjun once again felt bewildered by his seemingly nonsensical words and left in silence after setting down the candle.
Li Wenli, curious, cast a glance at the item Bai Junjun had left behind. Upon recognizing what it was, he couldn’t help but feel deeply pained.
"Using lard for a lamp, such a waste of resources!"
