Counterfeit Bride Chapter 4
The second day in the grass and mud house, the two had shared out the work and helped one another.
Jie Yi towards the exhausting work of reconstructing the grass and mud house, not even the slightest bit considered it as trouble. When he saw the house step by step changed into an appropriate place of human habitat, he became even happier!
Meanwhile Tian Yang, in the middle of puzzlement completely cooperated with Jie Yi’s pace. According to his request, he made a table and chairs, wooden bowls and wooden plates. Every time one item of article was done, Yi’r eyes would reveal adoration and exclaim in admiration. Caused him to become even more enthusiastic.
About the time to eat, was precisely the time Jie Yi came in handy. He happily told Tian Yang about some edible wild herbs. To celebrate the new home and the utensils, he went so far as to kill a chicken, cooked it into a sweet-smelling roasted chicken.
This action greatly shocked Tian Yang. He had never seen any noble lady enter the kitchen, let alone lifted a knife to kill the livestock. Absurd! Even Lin Xi when she saw blood would make a fuss about nothing. But Yi’r surprisingly remained calm, moved in agility to catch the fleeing in disorder cock, and cut its still muttering throat.
When Yi’r took the roasted chicken leg and laughingly put in front of him, Tian Yang’s heart was moved! Heaven, what kind of wife had he married to?
Perhaps the first impression was the strongest image! Tian Yang had never suspected Jie Yi’s gender. Although his chest was that flat, the collar had been always so high and the clothing material was not good.
“I am sorry. I don’t know what you like to eat. Just could randomly cook something.” Jie Yi embarrassedly said. “This place has nothing at all, can only find some readily available things, so could only let you have this little.”
“This is enough!” Tian Yang took a bite of that nice smelling assail the nose roasted chicken. “Unable to make you have a happy life, is my responsibility as a failure of a husband.” He sounded it out.
“No problem.” Jie Yi timidly smiled. Because of he stated himself as husband made him a little bit embarrassed and had a guilty conscience. “I know you will be successful.”
“How can you be definite?” Tian Yang curiously asked. “We don’t know each other that close at all!”
“It is my intuition.” Jie Yi said intuitively. “Willing to suffer and having an ideal dream person, doesn’t have a reason to fail!”
“Is it......” Tian Yang was a little bit delightful. So to say, in Yi’r’s heart, he was a willing to suffer and having an ideal dream person!
“Oh, by the way, how do you know how to cook?”
“When it is needed, naturally I will be able.” Jie Yi replied to evade the issue.
“I think you will complain!” said Tian Yang, deliberately tried to frighten him. “You have to know, the next days to come is just like this. Now there are only two of us, wait until back home to the ranch, there will be more people crying piteously waiting on you for food. The life will be tougher than now.”
“No problem!” Jie Yi understandingly glanced at him. “Cooking won’t be a trouble for me. When will we go home?”
“After 35 days.” Tian Yang vaguely answered. He still wanted to test Yi’r, wouldn’t be this fast letting go his gradually getting hopeless freedom.
In case Yi’r really could pass his test, at that time even if Yi’r wanted to leave, he would desperately make Yi’r to stay. But this was still not the time, although Yi’r up until now, continuously gave him a pleasant surprise.
“Still needed 35 days?” Jie Yi frowned.
“Unhappy to live alone with me?” Tian Yang asked with a hint of hurt.
“Not unhappy.” Jie Yi frankly said. “But there are only we two big eyes meet small eyes, isn’t it so boring?”
“The life on the ranch only could be described as hard work. Absolutely won’t be boring.” Tian Yang replied unhappily. “On the ranch, there are so many works to do, how can one have the time to say boring?”
“Like what?”
“Don’t think that now is the beginning of summer, a carpet of green grass, so you think it will be forever like this. When it is winter, when the sky and land is only a layer of white snow, in case the ranch doesn’t store the provisions, it will be damned! That’s why, in the summer and autumn, must begin to mow the grass store the provisions.”
“To cope with the whole winter?”
“Mm!” Tian Yang nodded. “Also, most of our ranch’s horses seem to be wild, have to be tamed beforehand, so that there are buyers willing to buy.”
“Tame the horses?” Jie Yi widened his eyes. “Is it interesting?”
“This might be the most interesting part.” Tian Yang said with a smile. “Don’t think that horses are domestic animals so you underestimate them. Wanted to completely tame a horse, must spend a lot of mental and physical effort. Fight a battle of wits with the horse, contest with strength. Yet once you showed any sign of weakness, even the horse would look down on you!”
“Looks like it’s very interesting.”Jie Yi’s eyes were sparkling and shining like a star. “I really want to learn!” He thickened his nerve to raise a demand.
If this was in the past, Jie Yi absolutely would adhere strictly to his duty, wouldn’t dare to say out loud his heartfelt wishes. But now, since he was the ranch’s’ ‘mistress’, this little request should not be too much, right?
“Tian Yang, you teach me how to ride a horse, I will help you mow the grass. If there are still other works, I could help you out, alright?”
Help him with whatever works?
Tian Yang stared at Yi’r’s beautiful face, reminded himself absolutely may not think to recline. “That’s good. In this place couldn’t ride a horse, would be laughed at by the others. We Guanwai people could be said as growing up on horseback.”
Wait until Yi’r knows riding horses was not such a simple matter, perhaps she would give more consideration towards staying on the ranch.
The ranch’s most difficult to deal with horse, nothing could surpass his horse ‘Shandian’. Let Shandian trouble her a bit, he didn’t believe if she didn’t retreat.
※※※※
Jie Yi excitedly followed Tian Yang to the stable. This place was an unfamiliar realm for him. Inside was filled with dry grass, horses, leather and a fodder mixed scent, the smell was peculiar as well as comfortable.
He glided his big eyes curiously to look around. The movement from the corner attracted his attention. He rushed to that place, happily exclaimed.
“Tian Yang, come here, look.”
Tian Yang walked closer to look. It was actually four puppies at a litter. Just like a regiment of ball of fur, opened up their rounded eyes to look at the coming closer people.
“So cute!” Jie Yi said. Both of his eyes were shining happily. He without the slightest hesitation lifted one of the puppy into his embrace, not the least bit mind whether he would make his changed for riding the horse clothes dirty.
He stretched his hand to gently caress the puppy smooth and soft fur. Simultaneously gently pressed it near to his neck, using his cheek he lightly touched it. His unruly long hair followed his head’s movement to hang down loosely. This formed an exceptionally good scenery. Tian Yang nearly in a daze while looking at the scene before his eyes.
But this scene was broken very fast! Hearing Jie Yi shouted ‘Ya’ stretched out the pair of arms, brought the puppy far away from the embrace, the face still had a line of mark.
“Biting! So painful.” Jie Yi’s mouth scolded for the pain, the hand still holding the puppy not letting go. “May not randomly bite people, it is very painful! Like this, later no one will like you......”
Tian Yang amusingly watched Yi’r’s long-winded talk to the puppy, told it it may not attack anyone in the future. Really amusing. If the puppy could understand, it would be strange. But it was indeed strange, that puppy actually obediently let Yi’r hold it while admonishing it, didn’t make any movement.
“Are you alright?” Tian Yang attentively asked.
Seeing that beautiful oval face have a scar, really made people have a bit of regrettable feeling. Particularly since Yi’r for the purpose of learning to ride a horse, had especially changed the ugly working clothes, the light blue riding horse attire made her even better looking.
“There is no problem.” Jie Yi laughed without any care, holding the puppy and stood up. “We can start.”
“Holding it is impossible to learn horse riding!” Tian Yang pointed at the puppy in Jie Yi’s bosom.
Shandian was not easy to manage with. Too look down on it would result in great loss. Of course, he was absolutely not worried for Yi’r, only......Only worried to cause the loss of lives.
“O!” Jie Yi busily let the puppy go, still looking at the puppy unwilling to let go.
How cute. So similar with the dog he had raised before. But since his father and mother passed away, until he worked at the Ling Family, he had never raised one anymore! Sigh, those happy days......
“Aren’t you afraid the dog gets your clothes dirty?”
“Not at all.”Jie Yi shook his head. “After all, after riding the horse, clothes also wouldn’t be as clean, still would need to be washed!”
“You know that you have to wash it yourself?” Tian Yang reminded her.
“You are talking too much!” Jie Yi angrily said. “Tomorrow morning I will wash. The clothes you want to wash, just let me wash.”
“Oh!” Surprised at Jie Yi’s reply, Tian Yang could only blankly nod his head.
Speaking the truth, he truly admired Yi’r! She was completely unlike what he had imagined whatever kind of noble young lady.
There weren’t any pampered and spoiled aristocratic young ladies that would be like her. Calmly rolled up the sleeve, swept and cleaned the utterly old and broken grass and mud house, cooked three simple and crude meals, in the evening must have a bath in the open field, bravely faced the danger of being attacked by wild beasts; and now, she actually considered to learn how to ride a horse, also wanted to help him wash his clothes...... Heavens, he didn’t know what to think anymore!
It seemed like, Yi’r really worked hard to adapt to Guanwai’s livelihood, to become a good wife for him. Having this kind of wife, Tian Yang suddenly doubted himself, why did he want to make her leave?
Maybe, he should try to accept Yi’r! After all, Yi’r’s face was the type he liked, even if the figure was a little bit lacking, but still, small defects cannot obscure great virtues.
“Tian Yang, you said you want to let me ride Shandian?”
“Shandian?” Tian Yang abruptly had a hesitation.
When he considered letting her ride Shandian, he hadn’t considered accepting her, letting her stay, but now......
Jie Yi’s looked around, all of a sudden stopped at a flashing shining red furred horse. “Is that it?”
“You really have a good eye!” Tian Yang got rid of his worry. After all, he was there, didn’t have to be afraid that he couldn’t control Shandian.
Seeing Yi’r extended her hand wanting to caress Shandian, Tian Yang turned pale with fright, when he wanted to prevent her, it was already too late. “Be careful!”
Previously, the person who had the nerve to touch Shandian, was bitten until stained by blood. Shandian’s temper was violent to the utmost, didn’t let anyone to get near.
“What?” Jie Yi’s hand was on Shandian’s neck, lightly caressed it, while he turned to ask Tian Yang.
Tian Yang towards Shandian’s reaction was amazed beyond description. Could only decide that it with its master that liked the same type of person! “Shandian seems to like you.”
Hateful! To forget loyalty when in love kind of horse.
In the past, the first time he wanted to get near Shandian, he had to spend several days. Served every meals to gain its trust. But Yi’r surprisingly accomplished it as easy as blowing off dust, to the point it was too much!
But now since Shandian liked her, it would be good to deal with. Tian Yang took Shandian out, then mounted the saddle, helped Jie Yi to mount the horse back, began to explain the tricks of riding a horse.
“Remember, must let it know, you are its master.”
“Mm!”Jie Yi sat up high on the horse back, using his feet to lightly touch the belly of the horse in a short while, Shandian obediently began to lightly tread with a pace.
“Tian Yang, I made it!”Jie Yi excitedly turned his head, facing Tian Yang and shouted, the pleasantly surprised tone made Tian Yang happily lifted the corner of his mouth.
The mishap happened exactly at this moment!
Jie Yi delightful shout had startled Shandian, abruptly with a sudden force spun, after that raised and leaped. Jie Yi absolutely didn’t have any precautions, though grabbing the saddle intended to stabilize, but it was already too late!
His hand and arm hit the ground, ruthlessly tumbled on the field.
“Yi’r!” Tian Yang’s heart severely seized. Hurriedly jumped towards the front, dragging him to get out of Shandian’s hoof range.
Jie Yi reclined on the ground, from head to toe as if had been paralyzed, didn’t make any movement.
“So painful......” Jie Yi groaned with a soft voice.
“I know, good girl, let me check for a while.” Tian Yang anxiously aided and comforted, the large palm caressed the both arms of Jie Yi. “The bone is not broken. However, the chest also needs to be checked to ensure......”
“No......” Jie Yi worked hard to lift the painful pair of arms, gripped the big hand which wanted to feel out his chest. “Don’t touch that place.”
“Now is not the time to be embarrassed. You are injured, maybe there is a broken bone, couldn’t not check.”
“There isn’t. I didn’t have any breaking bones.” Jie Yi inhaled several mouthful of air, forcefully burst out a slight laughter, sat himself up.
“See, I am up now.”
“Ah, then you walk several steps let me see!” Extremely angry with her stubbornness, Tian Yang couldn’t restrain himself from mocking.
“O!” When Jie Yi intended to desperately stand his body up, Tian Yang had taken his body into his embrace.
