Chapter 2

• As Madam Yang spoke, she hurriedly put on her pants.
• “Madam Yang, where’s your husband?” Yang Yu deliberately asked.
• “He works elsewhere. He doesn’t come back more than a few times a year.” Madam Yang smoothed out her clothes, and after she had ensured there was no one else around, she then shot a look at Yang Yu before asking “You saw me peeing earlier?”
• Yang Yu nodded.
• Madam Yang’s face was even redder now. First, someone had seen her butt, and now a man had seen her pee. It was well and utterly humiliating.
• “You better not tell others about this matter. It’s really embarrassing.” Madam Yang finally straightened out her clothes. Abashed and not daring to look at Yang Yu, she mumbled, “I’ll take my leave then. Thanks.”
• Yang Yu made a noise of affirmation, but his eyes were fixed on the lady’s chest. This mature woman sure had a big chest. He was worried that if her shirt were to burst open, that if her two mounds were to be exposed like that, then that would be even more embarrassing for her.
• Yang Yu watched the back of Madam Yang’s departing silhouette. This was the second time he had encountered this kind of incident since he came to this isolated village.
• Just where exactly was this village?
• Why were there so many fair and plump wives who were left behind?
• Yang Yu had recently graduated from university and gotten his teacher’s license. The county had been recruiting teachers, and Yang Yu, fortunately, had passed the test for it.
• Initially, he had thought that he would be able to teach at one of the county’s more developed cities. However, he had not imagined that he would end up being sent to a village in the middle of nowhere — Dame Bather Village — all due to a slip-up. By the time he found out of it, the ship had long since sailed. Even if he wanted to change it, it was too late. All he could do was go with the flow.
• Yang Yu recalled how the village had been the first day he arrived.
• At that time, he did not know the way there, so he had hired a local guide to lead him there.
• “Let’s take a break, I really can’t walk anymore. Just how long more till we reach Dame Bather Village?”
• Yang Yu was already so tired that he could barely draw in full breaths. This was already the third mountain that he had gone through. While he might be an athletic person, he was beyond exhausted, what with having to carry such a large carrier bag.
• “Just two more mountains and we’ll be there. Do you see that? It’s on the other side of that mountain.” The tour guide pointed at a distant mountain shrouded in thick fog, which looked like an ethereal, otherworldly place.
• Yang Yu grumbled internally about how winding and twisting the path to Dame Bather Village was. It was already bad enough that they had gone through those winding paths, but they even had to climb up so many mountains. On top of that, the roads were impassable. This place was completely cut off from the outside world.
• Yang Yu sighed in lament. He could only blame this on his lack of spine, and his terrible luck.
• He had thought that he would be able to remain in a city. He had not thought that he would end up in such an isolated village that was cut off from the world.
• In truth, Yang Yu had been to Dame Bather Village once as a kid. One of his relatives, a younger aunt through his mother’s side, lived in this village. This aunt had no blood relatives; his maternal grandmother had adopted her, which was why he had not seen her in over ten years. He only knew that this aunt of his had three daughters.
• The eldest daughter, who was Yang Yu’s eldest female cousin, had played with him when he was a child. As for his two younger cousins, Yang Yu had never met them before. His aunt had married into a family far away from him, so it was natural that they rarely kept in contact.
• Yang Yu could only grit his teeth, and after he had taken a sip of spring water, he continued to forge on with his luggage on his back. This mountain road was barely a road, with grass and other wild plants grew all over it. The villagers probably rarely left their village.
• He walked for probably over an hour before he gradually caught sight of Dame Bather Village.
• Looking down through the thick fog while on the mountain peak, Dame Bather Village was located within a valley. A river ran through the center of it. This river was Dame Bather River. Because the water was clear, and tasted deliciously sweet, many villagers frequented this river to bathe. Hence, the river was named as Dame Bather River, and that was also how the village’s name came to be as well.
• Rumors said that the women in Dame Bather Village all had skin whiter than snow. The reason for their full and plump, flawless skin was because of the cleanness and pureness of their water source.
• However, since the name Dame Bather was also a homonym for ‘lustful woman’, the young girls in the village had protested against it. Even so, as time went by, they too began to slowly accept the name.
• The mountain in front of the village was littered with peach trees. Since it was spring, the red of the peach flowers enveloped the entire mountain, like a blush on a maiden’s cheeks. The mountain behind the village, on the other hand, had a forest. The trees were thick and abundant, rather like a maiden’s certain special place.
• “This is as far as I’ll guide you since I still have to go back. You’ll reach the village if you just follow this mountain path and walk straight down.” The guide wiped away his sweat. Now that the day was no longer young, if he did not go back now, then he would be in danger. Wild beasts roamed this mountain frequently.
• Yang Yu paid the guide and began to drag his tired body towards the village.
• The path merged with the Dame Bather River just a little further down. Yang Yu was already swimming in sweat from walking this distance. When he saw that there was a small pool in front of him, he got down by the river, all prepared to freshen his face up.
• This water was really refreshing. Now that he washed his face, he instantly felt refreshed and renewed. When he raised his head to peer further, he suddenly discovered that a woman was bathing within the pool.
• This woman’s skin was clean and clear, with no flaws to be seen. She sat within the water, where the water just so happened to come up to her chest. A few drops of water glistened on those two mounds of hers. Yang Yu was struck dumb by the sight.
• So, such a beautiful creature actually existed in this world!
