Time passed quickly. The skin on Zhang Cuishan's hands had been scraped, revealing bright red flesh. He grimaced in pain, but the wood was too wet and could not be ignited.
However, he had a tenacious personality and was unwilling to give up. He continued to persevere and hope could be ignited.
Unfortunately, his efforts had all ended in failure. Zhang Cuishan was depressed and could only give up temporarily. He sat on the rock and panted heavily.
Yin Susu's expression was a little ugly. Without a bonfire to warm herself up, it would be difficult at night. She was worried that she would catch a cold, but she was afraid that after she fell asleep, the rats and scorpions in the cave would come out and bite her family. That would be terrible.
The more she thought about it, the more worried Yin Susu became.
Zhang Cuishan looked at his wife. Seeing that she was still elegant and beautiful, like a delicate peony, he could not help but have that thought.
"Wuji, the wood is too damp. It seems like we can't start a fire tonight. You should go to your foster father's cave to sleep.”
"Oh, alright, Father. Then I'll go look for Father.”
Zhang Wuji skipped away, leaving only himself and his wife in the cave. His plan had succeeded, and he could finally enjoy some alone time.
Zhang Cuishan pulled his wife into his arms and nibbled on her cheek. He said tenderly,"Susu, the child is gone. It's just the two of us tonight.”
Yin Susu pushed him away and said gently,""Fifth Brother, I know you want it very much, but it really can't be done. What if you get pregnant? We can't disregard the consequences for the sake of a moment of happiness.”
His wife's simple words were like a splash of cold water on Zhang Cuishan's head. He was no longer in the mood. In fact, Yin Susu knew that he needed comfort, and she also needed it in her heart. But in a place like Ice Fire Island, having another child doubled the burden. She could only choose to endure and mercilessly extinguish her husband's bath of fire.
Zhang Cuishan sighed and stopped forcing his wife. He let go of his embrace and started a fire by himself. He did not say a word. He had not touched Yin Susu for nine years because he was afraid of getting pregnant. If it was any other man, he would have been unable to endure it long ago. Only Zhang Shan and the Zhang Five would be able to do so.
The living conditions on Ice Fire Island were too harsh. Having a child was equivalent to committing a sin.
Rather than giving birth to a child and suffering, it was better not to have a child.
This was what Yin Susu thought.
In the few years after giving birth to Zhang Wuji, Yin Susu had always refused to be intimate with Zhang Cuishan because she was afraid that she would accidentally get pregnant.
Poor Zhang Cuishan. He spent all day with his wife, but he couldn't shoot. This was driving him crazy and depressing.
What was worthy of respect was that Zhang Cuishan was indeed a hero of his generation. He actually endured it so bitterly. If it was a disciple of another sect, he would have long forced himself on her. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he would just make children with his wife. Since he did not make any mistakes, he would have a lot of children. How could there be only one Zhang Wuji?
Zhang Cuishan lowered his head and did not say anything. He only tried his best to make a fire. Every move was ruthless and he tried his best to vent his emotions. It was as if the fatigue of his body and mind could bring him psychological comfort.
Yin Susu sat in a dark corner with tears in her eyes. She felt bitter as well. As a man's wife, she had the obligation to satisfy his needs. However, life was too cruel. She could only suppress him time and time again. Seeing the man frown, her heart ached as well.
Actually, she was in more pain than him.
It was extremely quiet in the cave. Only the sound of Zhang Cuishan drilling wood could be heard. It was boring and annoying.
Suddenly, a white light pierced through the night sky!
A beam of light shot down from the nine heavens, piercing through the layers of clouds and falling directly on Ice Fire Island. To be precise, it landed in the middle of the cave, in front of Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu.
In an instant, the pitch-black cave was as bright as day. It was so piercing that it hurt his eyes. Zhang Cuishan narrowed his eyes and looked into the white light.
A young man slowly walked out of the holy white light. It was the immortal.
Zhang Cuishan suddenly raised his head. The immortal had returned!
At this moment, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were overjoyed. The couple hugged each other excitedly as if their children had been admitted to Tsinghua University. They cheered non-stop and almost danced.
A deity had descended to the mortal world!
The deity had returned!
There was hope this time!
The two of them were so excited that tears flowed out of their eyes. Yin Susu was only focused on cheering and jumping for joy. She did not realize that she had run away again, revealing two snow-white peaks.
"Hehe, what era are we in now?”Zheng Zijian walked out of the white light and went straight to Zhang Cuishan. He bent down slowly and picked up the sharpened wooden stick. The tip had already turned black, but it was a pity that it was not heated enough to ignite the flame.
Zheng Zijian shook his head secretly. He thought to himself that their lives were really hard. If they were to drill wood to make fire every day, how many layers of skin would they have to burn? How painful would that be? However, Zhang Cuishan was fine. His skin was rough and his flesh was thick.
" Primitive people are really terrifying."
Before he came, Zheng Zijian learned from the system that Zhang Cuishan was drilling wood to make fire and was troubled by the fire. Apart from that, he also learned from the system that Yin Susu was afraid of an accidental pregnancy and bringing a burden to the family. It had been many years since she had a relationship with Zhang Cuishan. No wonder Zhang Wuji was the only child. It turned out that he was completely abstinent. Zheng Zijian laughed in his heart.
