Chapter 41: Homesickness 2
In the ancestral hall, which was so quiet that you could hear the sound of breathing, the corners of Zhu Zimo's mouth, who was standing beside Mu Ziru, hooked up a helpless smile.
With a sigh, Zhu Zimo said helplessly: "Ah Wei, after seven years, you still haven't grown, and you are still so breathless! I naturally know that it is impossible, I have already checked his past, his past is very clean, like a brand new piece of rice paper, at a glance." Except for when he was entrusted by your biological mother to find a substitute to replace you, a 'sinner', he has never done anything against heavenly morality. ”
Lowering his head, Mu Ziru also knew that Zhu Zimo's words were right, so he had no reason to refute it, so he could only acquiesce.
Mu Ziru has always known that compared with Zhu Zimo, he has always been too self-conscious and too composed. Even though he had been wandering outside for seven years and had seen a lot of things, he had not changed in the slightest in his temperament, so that in the past seven years he had caused trouble wherever he went, and there were not many people on the rivers and lakes who wanted to kill him quickly.
"Ah Wei, I know you don't want to come back, why don't you do this, how about we make a deal?" Looking ahead, Zhu Zimo said lightly.
Still maintaining the posture of kneeling on the ground and hanging his head, Mu Ziru asked weakly: "What deal?"
I only heard Zhu Zimo say slowly: "Before I succeed, you have to come back and continue to help me." ”
After that, Zhu Zimo looked at Zhu Jing's spiritual position in front of him and closed his mouth and stopped talking, as if he was waiting for Mu Ziru's answer.
However, Mu Ziru didn't answer Zhu Zimo after all, he just kept his head down and looked at the ground, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Without getting Mu Ziru's answer, Zhu Zimo had no choice but to continue: "You don't have to continue to be the holy envoy of the Heavenly Holy Gate, as long as you can help me in time when I need you, and I will spare no effort to help you find out about that matter and find out the result you want." Vice versa. ”
After that, Zhu Zimo lowered his head to look at Mu Ziru, who had been staring at the ground without saying a word, and asked with a smile: "How?"
Looking up at Zhu Zimo, Mu Ziru seemed to hesitate, but he finally replied: "Okay, I promise you!" Regarding the things of the year, he really wanted to find out the truth!
Compared with Zhu Zimo's scheming, Mu Ziru is ashamed of himself, even if he hesitates, but in the end, Mu Ziru will still be willing to accept his fate and even have the strength to refute. Because of this, he can't do most of what Zhu Zimo can do, and he will never be able to match half of Zhu Zimo's.
After receiving Mu Ziru's affirmative answer, Zhu Zimo finally bent down to help Mu Ziru up, and said with a light smile: "Okay, the people who should worship have also worshipped, let's go!"
"Hmm. Nodding lightly, Mu Ziru followed Zhu Zimo and left the Zhu family ancestral hall.
Out of the gate of the ancestral hall, Zhu Zimo and Mu Ziru walked side by side on the stone path to the gate of Zhu's mansion. Before walking out of the bamboo forest, Zhu Zimo suddenly reached out and took out a dark red jade token from his sleeve pocket.
Handing the jade token to Mu Ziru, Zhu Zimo said softly: "The locations of the branches and branches have not changed in the past seven years, and they are still in the original location, if there is something, take this token and go to them." ”
Mu Ziru silently raised his hand to take the jade token in Zhu Zimo's hand, and a cold feeling instantly slowly passed into his body from the palm of his hand, and the coolness was refreshing.
Looking at the word "sage" carved in seal script on the front of the token, Mu Ziru couldn't help laughing and said, "It's still the one from seven years ago!"
"The jade that carved the token was chosen by you, and although you secretly left it at the headquarters when you left home, I always hope that one day you can come back to help me, so I have kept it for you, and I have never been damaged or lost. Zhu Zimo replied to Mu Ziru lightly.
After listening to Zhu Zimo's words, Mu Ziru couldn't help but roll his eyes at Zhu Zimo and sneered: "Then you don't have to carry it with you!"
Tilting his head and looking at Mu Ziru who rolled his eyes at him, Zhu Zimo smiled happily: "Are you all vegetarians in the Cangdie Shadow Group under Xuanwu?" I guessed that you were going to come back, so I brought it with me." On this day, whether it is cold or not, whether it is hot or not, and I carry a piece of thousand-year-old cold jade with me, do you have anything wrong with me?"
"Cut!" Mu Ziru snorted disapprovingly, and said in a low voice: "You have something wrong with you!"
"Who do you say is wrong?" Standing still, Zhu Zimo suddenly raised his voice and asked.
"Wow!!" Startled by Zhu Zimo's suddenly raised voice, Mu Ziru reflexively jumped to the side, and his back was about to be pressed against a sturdy bamboo.
I saw Mu Ziru covering the position of his heart with his hand holding the jade plate, and pointed at Zhu Zimo with the other hand and scolded: "You bastard! I know you have good ears! But you don't need to be so scary, right?
Looking at Mu Ziru's reaction, Zhu Zimo smiled more and more happily and asked, "You still scold me secretly knowing that I have good ears?"
"If you really want to scold secretly, you will scold where you can't see!!" Mu Ziru pouted disdainfully.
Hearing this, Zhu Zimo smiled and waved his hand at Mu Ziru, and rarely smiled: "Okay, okay, your name of 'Impermanent Ghost Doctor' is not called in vain, if I really scare you, wouldn't you have sent poisonous needles to me earlier?" Just like the bearded man on the night of the Pingyang City Lantern Festival, I don't want to die in vain." ”
Continuing to pout, Mu Ziru said a little frustratedly: "You know again! Really, you always know what I do, it's really uncomfortable to be stared at every day!"
Being complained about by Mu Ziru like this, Zhu Zimo couldn't help but sneer: "Where did I send someone to keep an eye on you! It was your movements that night that were too big to attract the attention of the shadows I sent to protect my junior brother." If it weren't for the fact that they were too poor in light physical skills to keep up with you and my junior brother, and if they later found out that you and Zhiwu were old acquaintances, you would have been escorted to me by them a long time ago, and you would have been able to enjoy yourself on the road for so many days?"
"That's the person you raised, it's too useless!" Mu Ziru said with merciless disdain.
"Luckily, at least they never gave me anything wrong when it came to big things. Zhu Zimo answered with a smile.
Putting away the jade token and no longer looking at Zhu Zimo, Mu Ziru strode towards the direction of the gate of Zhu's mansion, and said loudly as he walked: "Okay, no need to send it, I know the road." ”
Looking at Mu Ziru who was striding away, Zhu Zimo didn't forget to remind him loudly: "Ah Wei, remember to go home to see your father!"
"Got it, aren't you annoyed!" Although he didn't look back, it was not difficult to imagine Mu Ziru's appearance of blowing his beard and glaring at him when he said this, if Mu Ziru had a beard......
Regarding Mu Ziru's impatience, Zhu Zimo could only smile helplessly and shook his head: This Ah Yu is awkward and looks like a child......
As soon as Mu Ziru's figure disappeared from Zhu Zimo's sight, Zhu Zimo's eyes flickered, and a person wearing black clothes and a black cloth towel had already knelt about two meters in front of Zhu Zimo.
The man hung his head, and he couldn't see his face clearly because of the black scarf covering his face, so he could only judge vaguely from his body shape that he was a woman.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Zimo was in a rare mood and took the lead in asking.
He took out a neatly folded yellowish piece of paper from his bosom and held it above his head with both hands, and the man in black said respectfully: "Report to the master, Deputy Envoy Lin's special subordinates came to inform the master, I don't know who seems to be looking for an object in the master's hand, and the thing drawn in this picture is what the person is looking for." ”
took two steps forward, reached out and picked up the paper in the hand of the man in black, unfolded it, and what caught Zhu Zimo's eyes was a flying dragon pattern, and it was very familiar.
Deputy Envoy Lin told his subordinates to tell the master, please be careful with the master, for fear that the person who comes will not be good. The man in black said so respectfully.
Raising his hand and waving casually, Zhu Zimo said lightly: "Got it, step down!"
"Yes, master!" he respectfully agreed, only to see a black shadow flash, and the man in black who was still kneeling on the ground just now disappeared.
But he saw Zhu Zimo looking at the ground with his eyes down, slowly retracting his five fingers, and gradually pinching the yellowish paper with the flying dragon pattern in his palm into a wrinkle, and his voice was a little cold: "Wu clan...... Are you still refusing to give up......
**
Origi country Kyoto Crepe Flat. Western. Nan.
The street in front of the crepe pharmacy's open door is filled with pedestrians of all kinds, as well as vendors selling all sorts of goods. I don't know which family of children chased each other between the crowds on the street, and the laughter was endless, a peaceful and prosperous scene.
Mu Ziru, who was dressed in a navy blue robe with narrow sleeves, hesitated again and again, but never dared to step on the low two-story staircase, and did not dare to step over the old and somewhat broken brown threshold.
Wasted so many days on the road to return to Creping, although it was unpleasant in the eyes of others to play in the mountains and rivers along the way, but only Mu Ziru himself knew why he chose to hike back to Creping......
Is this considered a cowardice in his hometown? Thinking like this, Mu Ziru couldn't help but show a wry smile.
Mu Ziru himself didn't know what he was afraid of, afraid that his father would not forgive him for saying goodbye back then? Afraid that his father would not recognize him as a son again? Mu Ziru didn't know, really didn't know......
In the pharmacy, a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old who was standing behind the counter saw that Mu Ziru had been standing outside the door of the pharmacy, and he didn't come in, but only stood there in a daze, so he walked out of the counter a little strangely, walked to the door, and asked suspiciously: "This son, are you going to see a doctor or grab medicine?"
Being asked by the young man like this, Mu Ziru finally came back to his senses, the corners of his mouth barely pulled out a faint smile, and asked the young man a little awkwardly: "Excuse me...... Is Dr. Crepe here?"
Hearing this, the young man smiled gently, stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture and said to Mu Ziru: "Here you are! Son, please come in and sit, I will go and ask the crepe doctor to come out." ”
Mu Ziru hesitated a little, but finally nodded.
It was only at this moment that Mu Ziru finally mustered up the courage to raise his legs and step up the low two-story staircase, stepping over the old, somewhat dilapidated brown threshold.
