Chapter 33 - She Was Playing With Fire
" ah Jing are you sleeping ?" Su Wan extended a naughty finger after she was done calming down and poked Lin Jing 's arms . To her it was a simple poke but to Lin Jing who was having the hardest time of his life in controlling himself , it no different from Su Wan kissing him .
At once his muscles turned taut painfully , he clenched his fingers tightly while he pretended to be asleep shutting his eyes close with the intention of 'out of sight , out of mind '.
Su Wan naturally underestimated the vigorous energy of a virgin young man who never once touched a women because when she didn't hear Lin Jing reply ; she daringly skimmed her finger upon Lin Jing 's arm . Su Wan wasn't afraid at all , she had Lin Jing 's and the others promise of not touching her until she turned eighteen that's why she boldly touched Lin Jing .
Lin Jing who could feel the feather lke touch on his arm and his breathing hardened , By now he understood that if he didn't reply to Su Wan , his wife might actually make him wash his pants in the middle of the night. Thus , he opened his eyes and shifted his head in such a way that he could look straight at in Su Wan's eyes " what ?" he asked catching her naughty finger that was trailing up his arm all the way to his nape.
Because Lin Jing was supressing his desires , his voice lowered a lot which sounded hoarse yet deep and rich .
Su Wan felt her heart skip a beat when Lin Jing touched her ( alright it was just a finger but he was just sooo damn handsome and his voice ahhhhh) and she bit her lower lip in frustration , damn she was trying to tease him but ended up getting teased .
But now that she finally had an opportunity to talk to him . She quickly took it .
" Lin Jing are you going to the mountain tomorrow ?"
" are you really familiar with that forest in the mountain ?"
" Are there a lot of wild animals ? is it scary there ?"
" Can you take me with you tomorrow please ? "
Lin Jing went "..." for quite sometimes but when je heard Su Wan's last request he hurriedly shook his head and rejected her at once " No , its dangerous .There are lot of wild animals including wolves and tigers , You can't go "
This was the longest he had spoken to Su Wan but Lin Jing wanted Su Wan to understand the severity of the dangers that lingered in the mountain so he tried to explain as clearly as he could. Ten years ago when he was just a sixteen year old boy , the village was facing the worst drought that year. Because it didn't rain for months , the forest flora soon dried up and many animals ended up dying because of the lack of food and water .
When animals like deer and boar started dying of starvation , animals like wolves and tiger also started to starve . Soon , the village was attacked by a lone tiger who was starved to skin and bones because it was alone and weak , The villagers killed it easily but the real trouble came after this . Soon , the villagers heard the cries and howls of wolves - The village head got worried , he knew that the wolves were descending down the mountain in search for food .
So , the village head hurriedly sent out the word that he wanted every single house in the village to send a man of their house to join the hunting team in return he will pay them forty wen ( forty copper coins ) . The villagers were anxious and afraid but they still did as the village head asked them to do all except Grandma Lin .
At that time Lin Jing 's father had already crossed to the other side of the river . So , other than his uncle there was no other man in their house but how could Grandma Lin bear to send her precious son to hunt ferocious wolves ? But she didn't want to lose the forty wen either , in the end she told Lin Jing that as long as he joined the hunting party she will give him twenty wen .
After his father's death their family was already suffering and Lin Yu was only six years old but he was weak and frail. And because he was malnourished ,he looked like three years old thus Lin Jing wanted to supplement him with drumsticks in the end , Lin Jing agreed for the sake of his younger brother .
He who had never seen a wolf thought that they might be a little bigger than dogs not to mention he was still young a bit rash so he joined the hunting party .
But when the pack of wolves descended down the mountain Lin Jing finally realized how wrong was he , he was the youngest and the smallest with no hunting skills so it wasn't surprising that he was the one to go down first ... If old hunter Zhu didn't saved him maybe he too would be standing by his father's side waiting for his brothers and mother to cross the river with the hope that they arrive very late.
But even though Old hunter Zhu saved him he still got injured and ended up scarring his neck as for the money heh , it naturally went to Grandma Lin 's pocket . His mother was no match for his grandmother thus when he woke up he wasn't surprised that the money was gone .
Now he learned hunting skills from Old hunter Zhu so he wasn't afraid of going to the mountains but Su Wan was different , if he took her there and something happened how will he protect her ?
Even though Lin Jing didn't tell her , Su Wan understood that he was afraid of taking her to the mountains but she really needed to go to the mountains. After she thought for a while she realized that this era was naturally rich , it was literally rolling in natural resources . Su Wan really wanted to try her luck - but if Lin Jing didn't agree - then she just have to make him agree !
Determined she pushed her body off the mattress and did something that she shouldn't have done at all - She ! Sat ! On! Top ! Of ! Lin ! Jing !
Ah , she really was playing with fire.
