Chapter 38
Chapter 38
It was already afternoon when Ren Ke woke up, he opened the curtain of the car and went out. The afterglow of the setting sun was still refusing to dissipate by the mountain. A mature horse, why won't it walk by itself?"
He questioned, the gentle sky light shone on him, his profile glowed, the wound on his neck was reduced by the warm light, and the dirty clothes on his body did not affect his beauty in the slightest.
Mu Xuan was thinking about walking for a day. Ren Ke's injury was fine after he saw it, and the catkins were also intact. If he didn't wake up for a day, could he have missed something? He was planning to stop to check, and when he turned around, he saw Ren Ke straight up. Gou looked at himself, the dried blood on his face was like scars growing on his face, winding and terrifying, but those eyes were black and white, bright and hot, making people sink into them, and they still felt ugly.
"You finally woke up."
Ren Ke nodded, and sat down against the wall of the car, looking up at the pink sunset, blowing the cool breeze at sunset, listening to the sound of the carriage on the road, the most important thing is that someone will know when he wakes up.
Mu Xuan saw that his whole body was bathed in the sunset, and the hostility on his body was reduced a lot, and he didn't have the dead air in the underworld when he came with the head in his hand. The worry in his heart dropped a lot, and he asked with concern: "Does it hurt?"
Ren Ke shook his head and reached out to him, "I'll do it."
Mu Xuan was surprised, "You will?"
In the end, the reins were handed over to Ren Ke, and the carriage continued to move forward smoothly. Mu Xuan walked for a day. If there were not two lives supporting him in the carriage, he would have carried it all at once. Now someone has finally taken over, and he sat in Ren Ke. Next to him, he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, when suddenly he heard Ren Ke asking, "Qijiu, how do you know my name?"
"..." This question made him drowsy in an instant. He thought carefully, it seems that Ren Ke did not say his name, but he called it all of a sudden, without even a little excessiveness, which is indeed a bit strange.
People in Qishan don't have names, only numbers. If he wants to say that what he knows in Qishan must be fake, how does he know?
"Can gods figure out their names?" Ren Ke preemptively looked at the road ahead.
Not only did Mu Xuan lose all sleepiness, but he was also full of energy at the moment, feeling that the boss was going to kick him off the carriage in the next second.
"I know you talked in your sleep when you were unconscious."
Seeing that he didn't even blush when he was talking nonsense, Ren Ke nodded meaningfully, "Oh, I called my name in my sleep."
"..."
I always feel that this grandson is holding back!
The three of them kept walking, Liu Xu's mood was very unstable, she often looked at a place and started to cry, sometimes she pretended to be strong and chatted with them, Mu Xuan was very anxious, wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start, speaking, two Uncle's death, he couldn't get away with it.
The carriages and horses walked non-stop for four days. They entered Yunzhou and rested outside Huai'an City. Liu Xu locked herself in the carriage. Every time Mu Xuan went to visit, she smiled and said "it's okay", and then continued to put herself in the carriage. Shut up in the carriage.
Ren Ke told him, "It will be fine."
Mu Xuan: "I'm afraid she won't think about it."
"She's not a fragile girl." Ren Ke patted him on the shoulder to reassure him. He knew from the time when the girl went to revenge alone, she just looks delicate, but she is actually a very tough woman, and she will not commit suicide easily , but her relative passed away overnight, she needs time to adapt to this world.
"Yeah." Mu Xuan nodded, suddenly his hand was grabbed, Ren Ke was checking his pulse, since he guessed last time because the scorpion poison drove him away, he wanted to check his pulse from time to time.
Mu Xuan got used to it after a lot of times, so he leaned against the tree to see his serious expression, and joked, "So many consultations, why didn't you find a happy pulse?"
Ren Ke looked up at him, and asked solemnly, "Can you conceive?"
"..." After a long period of time, the aloof boss's personality collapsed, and he would actually joke with him, Mu Xuan couldn't laugh or cry, "I want to conceive, who has the ability to make me conceive?"
Hearing this, Ren Ke fell silent, withdrew his hand to diagnose the pulse, and said in a muffled voice, "Aren't you a god?"
Mu Xuan lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled, "Which god counts this!"
After the joke, Mu Xuan went to find water to wipe Liu Xu's face, Ren Ke thought for a moment and opened the curtain to get in the car, staring at Liu Xu.
"I don't think you are a weak woman."
This is what he said, which was completely different from Mu Xuan's opening "I'm sorry", so Liu Xu listened quietly.
Seeing that she was not in a daze, Ren Ke continued, "I shouldn't have killed those people for you."
He opened the curtain, and the outside wind blew into the carriage. The catkins hadn't blown the wind for a long time, and the coolness made her feel unwell for a while, so she coughed.
"I killed those people because Second Uncle was kind to me and Qijiu. I don't want to break your will to survive."
Liu Xu burst into tears when she heard the words, she cried all the way, she had already drained the moisture from her body, now she lost the agility of a girl, her eyes were red and swollen, like someone who has been dying for a long time, dying.
"Miss Liuxu, your revenge has been avenged. If you have nowhere to go, I can take you with me, but I can't take the dead forward."
"I don't want to be like this either, but I..." Liu Xu burst into tears, as if there were endless tears. She also wanted to be strong and tried, but the past was always in her mind, and those beautiful moments often faded away. Replaced by the great changes that night, he beat her to death again and again until she could no longer struggle.
"Look outside." Ren Ke raised his hand to wipe away her tears, and turned his head to look outside. The sky outside the window was very blue, the clouds were white, and the wind was very suitable.
"Perhaps you can see this kind of sky from time to time, but it is a luxury for me. In countless days and nights, when I open my eyes, I have to check whether my sword is there, because that is the confidence for me to live. I drink Water and food may be highly toxic, but if I don’t eat, I will starve to death, and I will have no strength to struggle, so I can only bet my life that I will not die. I still have things to do, so I can’t To die is my will to live."
"I understand that you can't convince yourself to live a good life, but Miss Liuxu, sometimes, your situation is already something others can only wish for."
Liu Xu stared at him blankly, the person in front of her, since she met him, had been indifferent to her as if she had a feud, and she had never even said a few words, but now he was talking to her so gently about what happened to her, just to persuade her Look ahead.
Mu Xuan outside the car inadvertently listened to the whole process. After the sound disappeared, he retreated a few meters. Seeing Ren Ke jumping out of the car, he walked a few steps forward, shaking the water bag with a smile, "What did you and Liu Xu say?"
Ren Ke was slightly taken aback, and answered calmly, "Tell her that we are going into the city."
"Hey, it's rare to see you can talk." Mu Xuan joked, and then leaned closer to the carriage, seeing Liu Xu wiping tears, he asked softly, "Xiao Xu, do you want to wash your face?"
After Liu Xu wiped away her tears, she saw his brows frowning, "Could you please help me comb my hair?"
Mu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded again and again, "Of course."
Although I don't know how this girl knows that she can comb her hair, could it be that Leng Yue and her have a connection?
As he was thinking wildly, Liu Xu had already got off the carriage and came to him. The little girl washed her little face, and her red and swollen eyes were almost turning into walnuts. It was really distressing.
Mu Xuan greeted her to sit down with a comb, carefully untied her hair band, and gently combed her hair. Ren Ke looked very strange, and didn't know why Mu Xuan always combed the woman's hair. Comb fairy?He has never heard of such a fairy.
"Xiao Xu, to tell you the truth, my brother only knows a few hairstyles, but since you are cute, I will give you double ponytails."
Liu Xu said politely, "Thank you."
Mu Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment, "Why are you polite?" Then he danced and started braiding his hair. However, there were too many catkins and he couldn't finish them, so he had to ask Ren Ke, who was watching the excitement, to help.
"No!" Ren Keyan refused concisely.
Liu Xu's hair was more than twice as long as Leng Yue's, making him one head and two big. Seeing that it was finally taking shape and falling apart, he shouted happily, "Ren Ke! Ren Ke! Ren Ke Renke!"
Ren Ke also got a big head when he called him, and went to help him grab a strand of hair with a frowning face.
The two worked together and finally finished braiding the hair before the sun went down on the mountain. After reading the results, Ren Ke felt that he could never be a hair-combing fairy. If he were a hair-combing fairy, none of the gods on that day could be trusted.
Liu Xu stood up and shook her head, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good!" Mu Xuan didn't think about it.
"..." Ren Ke looked at her messy hair. Although it was indeed two braids, it was as frizzy as a golden retriever begging on the side of the road. It was hard for him to boast out of conscience, so he faced The little girl looked forward to it, and chose to turn around and lead the horse.
Mu Xuan quickly said, "He doesn't know how to appreciate, ignore him, let's go."
After the three of them entered the city, they suddenly remembered that they were penniless, so they sold what they could sell, exchanged some money, and successfully checked into the inn.
Due to the lack of money, he only booked two rooms, and the two elders made do with one room. Mu Xuan slept on the bed, and woke up to find that it was dark.He rubbed his eyes to look for Liu Xu, the little girl was lighting a lamp and sewing clothes, seeing the appearance of a woman for the first time.
Mu Xuan took a closer look, and found that the clothes were not someone else's but his own, so he frowned and sat opposite her.
Seeing him, the little girl looked up and smiled, and continued to mend seriously, but the stitches were really awkward, she didn't look like a virtuous woman in charge of her family at all, but like a mischievous ghost imitating a female celebrity.
He leaned on the table and asked, "Where is Ren Ke?"
Liu Xu didn't even look up, "He said he was going out for a while, and he'll tell you when you wake up, so don't think too much about it, he'll be back in a while."
The stitches are asymmetrical, so the thread is crooked, and it has nothing to do with looking good. Mu Xuan feels that if this continues, this dress may not be able to wear.
Thinking that the little girl is also working hard to learn to grow up independently, Mu Xuan couldn't hurt her self-confidence, so he tried to guide her differently, "Xiao Xu, do you have anything you like?"
Liu Xu thought for a while, her eyes lit up under the candlelight, "Dancing, Second Uncle and the others always say I look good dancing."
Mu Xuan knew it was this, and climbed up the pole, holding down her sewing hand, "Then go dance."
"I don't want to dance right now."
Liu Xu shook his head and continued to toss his clothes, Mu Xuan gave up completely and let her mend, and pushed the candle holder boredly, the light and shadow on Liu Xu's face changed in depth, and her red and swollen eyes did not disappear at all.
"Xiaoxu, you are the cutest girl I have ever seen, as beautiful as an angel, what you are experiencing now must be because God is jealous of you."
Liu Xu looked up at him, her eyes sparkled, she nodded firmly, "Thank you brother Qijiu, I won't be depressed anymore."
