Chapter 125: Helian Yanran Who Walked Alone in the Tiger's Den (Middle)
Bai Sheng was greatly comforted by Helian Yanran's conversation, so Mu Xun and Yanbo slept very peacefully after coming to change shifts.
And someone on the vigil didn't have such good luck.
When the vigil was arranged before, when he learned that he was assigned to work with Yanbo, Mu Xun's heart was extremely resistant. Although Wu Zhiqing made it difficult for him to reluctantly agree not to take the initiative to find trouble with Yanbo, Mu Xun felt uncomfortable at the thought of being alone with the daughter of a businessman whom he couldn't even look down on.
Bai Sheng and Helian Yanran are a pair, even if Helian Yanran is willing to change, Bai Sheng may not be willing to agree. His Royal Highness the prince is now very concerned about this prospective princess, Mu Xun has this self-knowledge, and the friendship between him and Bai Sheng for many years is naturally no match for beauty, so don't go and ask for this boring.
Mu Xun wanted to swap with Zhao Junbao, but for some reason, the Xiucai named Li Zhao seemed to be deeply hostile to him. When he appeared with Wu Zhiqing, Li Zhao was respectful and polite to Wu Zhiqing, and Wu Zhiqing also appreciated Li Zhao very much, and thought of ways to do things under him every day.
Although Li Zhao refused, his way was very tactful, and his words were comfortable to listen to, and he didn't hurt Wu Zhiqing's face at all.
And Mu Xun obviously didn't do anything, but Li Zhao always had a cold face when he faced him, and he was obviously very resistant, like a hedgehog with spikes all over his body. Mu Xun actually listened to and admired Li Zhao, and he was very approachable when he talked to him a few times.
Mu Xun always has a good impression of poor students, especially those who have real materials, he has heard about Li Zhao's intelligence from Bai Sheng and Wu Zhiqing, and when he saw the real person, he also felt that his bookish spirit did look like a motivated person. Therefore, he also has a bit of cherishing and loving talents, but Li Zhao, who is polite and polite, always treats others with humility and courtesy, but when he is on Mu Xun, he has inexplicable hostility.
Mu Xun wanted to find out, so he went to ask Zhao Junbao, a guard who was close to Li Zhao. Zhao Junbao was silent for a long time, and said very vaguely: "The subordinates have all received the great favor of the county lord...... What else do you not understand at this moment? After making trouble for a long time, it was his attitude towards Helian Yanran that made this Xiucai, who had received her favor, angry, and hated him.
Mu Xun did not feel angry, but praised Li Zhaozhi for his gratitude and gratitude. At the same time, he was also very curious about what kind of ability this county lord from the daughter of a merchant had that not only made His Royal Highness the prince deeply fascinated her, but also made His Majesty look at her differently. also called this arrogant civilian Xiucai loyal to her. Speaking of which, this demagogic method is really powerful.
Li Zhao's attitude is naturally impossible to be in the same class with him, and it is impossible to replace Zhao Junbao.
Mu Xun proposed to exchange with Li Zhao again, and it was also good for him to be in the same class as Zhao Junbao. As a result, Li Zhao disagreed. It is not good to be too close to the Yanbo girl, which violates the etiquette law.
At this moment, Mu Xun was directly laughed at. What's the matter? Men and women don't kiss each other? It's not a lonely man and a widow living in the same room, but there are several big living people on the side. Besides, you Li Xiu is a man, isn't it true that I, Mu Xun? It's just that how can it be a violation of the law of etiquette to keep an hour of the night together? Mu Xun really can't figure it out.
Li Zhao's attitude has been very clear, although Mu Xun will not deal with him, it is not easy to force others to change. He shook his head and thought: What His Highness said is really good, this Li Zhao is really a brainless sour talent sometimes.
Forget it, isn't it just a night together? And it's only an hour, and it's not a big deal to talk about it, and the daughter of the merchant hasn't said anything, why can't he be a big man?
Thinking of this, Mu Xun's unyielding strength came out, and he finally stopped being entangled and accepted the fact that he was keeping vigil with Yanbo.
It doesn't seem that difficult to do it. After sending Bai Sheng and Helian Yanran away, Yanbo dutifully chose a position with a wide field of vision to stand guard. She ignored Mu Xun, and Mu Xun was happy to be quiet, and stood down not far from her.
At first, it was okay, but the two ignored each other, and they coexisted peacefully. But just a quarter of an hour later, Mu Xun felt a little itchy and stinging in his right arm. He didn't pay much attention to it, reached out and scratched, and continued to observe the movement around him intently.
But after a while, my right leg was also sore and itchy, then my left leg, and then my right arm...... It soon spread throughout the body.
At this moment, Mu Xun had to pay attention to it. Then in the moonlight, Mu Xun rolled up his sleeves, and saw four or five bags the size of a fingernail on his right arm, red and swollen, itchy and painful, so uncomfortable. I guess it's the same everywhere on my body. It should be caused by a mosquito bite or something.
It's okay not to look at it, but I can't help it when I see it. Scratch here, grab two there, but it's useless. Instead, those small packets are getting bigger and bigger.
Mu Xun scratched his ears and cheeks, but the smoke wave was surprisingly calm, and no one else was moving. Mu Xun wondered, could it be that he had offended this worm, why did he just stare at him and bite him alone?
It's okay to say that the itching of the arms and legs can be scratched twice, but the back is a little difficult. Mu Xun thought about it, and if he didn't care about it, maybe it wouldn't itch for a while. But who knew that the more he tried to ignore it, the more unbearable the itching on his back became, and the itching made Mu Xun's facial features almost distorted.
Mu Xun was itching so much that he couldn't stand it anymore, he looked around, and the few people who had fallen asleep were sleeping soundly, and the smoke waves standing guard not far away didn't notice him at all. Well, it's a great time.
Mu Xun quickly leaned his back against the tree behind him and began to tickle back and forth, and the itch on his back was finally relieved, and Mu Xun was so comfortable that he wanted to sigh.
Mu Xun was having a good time, and suddenly heard the voice of Yanbo: "Mu Yushi, beware of recruiting the bear." ”
Mu Xun coughed lightly twice, stood up straight, and straightened his clothes. Pretending to be okay on the surface, it is indeed extremely embarrassing in my heart. The embarrassed side of the partiality was looked at by the merchant's daughter, and she didn't know how to laugh at him.
He cleared his throat and was about to say something. When I looked up, I saw something thrown by the smoke wave.
Mu Xun subconsciously caught it, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a small sachet. I sniffed it closely, and it smelled light, good.
Yanbo didn't look at him, but said, "This is a special insect repellent sachet made by the Helian clan. It is full of herbs that are beneficial to people and harmless, and can prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from getting close.
Of course, if Mu Yushi doesn't look down on these mundane things in our Shangjia family, he doesn't have to wear them. ”
Mu Xun rarely didn't reply, and silently tied the sachet to his belt. Not to mention, not only did I not get bitten again after wearing it, but even the previous painful and itchy bags seemed to be much better and became bearable.
"Thank you. After a long time, Mu Xun said softly with a blank face.
