Chapter 12: Beauty's Thanks
Mu Chuyu lowered his eyes and carefully wrenched his brains: That's right! If it's really people pretending to be gods, then what's the deal with the curse? At this point, he regretted that he was too impulsive and was on the wrong side......
"Since Brother Shen said that someone is pretending to be a ghost! There must be a reason for it! As for the curse...... Since we have accepted your commission, we will definitely give you a perfect explanation! You can rest assured! Duan Liling stepped forward to stand side by side with Shen Xiaoxun, she had always admired Shen Xiaoxun, how could she not come forward at this critical moment.
Mu Chuyu secretly said in his heart: This Shen Xiaoxun is really good, even a fox-like woman like Duan Liling can obey him!
After hearing Duan Liling say this, the villagers nodded and felt that it made some sense, so they no longer doubted it, after all, Haitang Pavilion should not be stupid enough to cut their face!
Shen Xiaoxun closed the golden cicada silk fan, held it in his hand, and walked to the altar, standing in the original position of Duan Liling, his eyes roughly swept over the utensils on the altar, and asked while thinking: "Are these sacrifices eaten after the worship that day?" β
"Well, Shen Shaoxia is right! Truly! The village chief solemnly raised a hand and quickly responded excitedly, "Last time, Ah Zhong from our village came out of the Burial Moon Valley for more than a month, and brought the roasted whole sheep back to worship her, and the whole of our village saw it that day!" The next day, Ah Zhong and I and a few other villagers came here in a panic, only to find that there was only a pile of sheep bones left......"
Shen Xiaoxun nodded thoughtfully, muttering to himself, "It seems that to lure her out, it's just a matter of a meal of meat!" β
"Order!" Immediately, he turned around and shouted, "You've already been out of the Burial Moon Valley once, so it's only fitting for you to go and buy sacrifices!" β
"No problem!" Zhang Ling readily agreed, but soon he lowered his head again and said unspeakably, "But-I don't have the money......"
There are only twenty or thirty people left in the desolate village, this Shen Xiaoxun certainly knows it in his heart, and he immediately comforted: "It doesn't matter, you go with Liling, she can still protect you!" β
"Huh?" Duan Liling looked at him in surprise, very reluctant in his heart.
Zhang Ling saw Duan Liling's thoughts, and it was not difficult for a strong man, so he scratched his head and red ears: "This-not good!" β
How can this kind of heroic moment of saving beauty be without Mu Chuyu?
"It's okay! Since Miss Duan is unwilling, then I'll accompany you on a trip! Mu Chuyu smiled and helped Duan Liling out of the siege.
It stands to reason that even if Duan Liling is not grateful to him, he has to smile at him...... But...... A woman's heart is a needle under the sea after all!
"Who says I don't want to?" Duan Liling flew towards him with an eye knife, and then said to Zhang Ling, "We'll leave tomorrow morning!" I'll accompany you to the offerings! β
Mu Chuyu simply had a thankless feeling, and he couldn't say that he was bitter in his heart, his afterglow deliberately glanced at Shen Xiaoxun, and saw that he was shaking the pin fan confidently, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It seems that Duan Liling was really eaten by him! Mu Chuyu scolded uncomfortably.
Originally, I didn't think about making up for sleep, and when I was lying on the couch, I thought it would be good to make up for half an hour, but as soon as I met Zhou Gong, Pei Yao was dragged to death, and Zhou Gong must have missed her very much, so he pulled her to play chess together, causing her to sleep until the end of the day...... Then, I was woken up hungry: I didn't call me for lunch, and I didn't call for dinner...... I'm going to die!
She got up and touched her shriveled belly, ready to go to the kitchen to steal something to wrap her belly, big fish and big meat are not extravagant, just have a big steamed bun!
There was no shadow of Aunt Zhou in the unobstructed small hut...... It turned out that the villagers did not hesitate to vacate their houses in order to entertain guests, but they moved into the ancestral hall themselves.
Pei Yao slipped into the kitchen with a kerosene lamp in her hand, and groped for a long time but didn't find a single bit of food......
"Goo-" The stomach let out a strong protest to show its displeasure.
A few thin and thin rats were jumping around on the stove, not afraid of people at all, it is estimated that they are as hungry as Pei Yao! Since everyone is hungry and can be regarded as a "fellow believer", then don't embarrass each other!
Pei Yao twisted her brows: Mice are also meat, I don't know if it will be very fragrant when roasted?
"Whoaβthat's disgusting!" As soon as she saw the obscene and dirty appearance of the mouse, she immediately interrupted this thought, shook her head, smashed it, smashed it, and stole it in another place!
She walked out of Aunt Zhou's kitchen, put out the oil lamp, and put it on the grinding plate, and before she could get out of Aunt Zhou's small courtyard, a small open space surrounded by a bamboo fence, she saw Duan Liling coming out of another small hut.
Looking at the way she walks, her expression should not be very good-looking.
What is this Duan Liling wandering around without sleeping? I'll see! Pei Yao was very curious, and she had to go into her bones for everything, and at this moment, she didn't care about being hungry, so she tiptoed to follow.
As she passed by the hut where Duan Liling had come out, she subconsciously glanced at it a few times, but she didn't dare to get too close, because she had already seen the white clothes floating through the crack in the door, which was a foot wide.
Duan Liling came to another thatched hut again, the light in the house was dim, Duan Liling stood behind the door and knocked softly.
Mu Chuyu had just cleaned up the bed, and after he had spread several layers on the couch with straw, it was finally not so hard, and he could barely sleep. Even if Master Mu is out of the house, he has to try his best to sleep comfortably.
At this time, the crisp knock on the door undoubtedly surprised him: who could it be?
It must be Pei Yao! She probably woke up hungry! Mu Chuyu confidently walked over to open the door, and had already prepared a disgusted expression on his face for the people outside the door.
The moment the firewood on both sides was pulled apart, I was a little shocked in my heart, and the disgust on my face instantly changed to overjoy: "Miss Duan, it's you!" β
Pei Yao, who was squatting outside the fence, said silently: See the color! Stinky rascals!
"Won't Mu Gongzi invite me in to sit down?" Duan Liling stroked his chest with his left hand, and lightly supported his cheeks with the back of his right hand, his eyes were charming.
Mu Chuyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly turned sideways to give way: "Miss Duan, please!" β
After Duan Liling entered the door, Mu Chuyu cautiously looked left and right before closing the door.
Pei Yao leaned over, dodged the light in the house, and cautiously ran to the side of the window lattice, covering herself with the shadow cast by the eaves, like a rabbit off her head. She peeked in through the tattered window paper pasted on the window lattice: It seems that I bumped into an affair today! Why am I as nasty as Mu Chuyu? No, no, no, I didn't do anything...... Can...... But don't look at it...... Oops, it's fine! I'll leave when they've undressed.
After the demon in her heart was entangled for a while, she watched the play again with peace of mind.
Duan Liling walked into the hut, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the plate of big white steamed buns on a waist-high small square table made of several broken wooden boards......
"Why are there still steamed buns here? Mu Gongzi, you shouldn't be hungry again! Duan Liling's slender fingers pointed at the plate of steamed buns and looked at him with a smile.
"Where can I ......" Mu Chuyu responded reflexively, but then changed his words and explained, "I usually eat supper at night!" Add food to yourself, so as not to be woken up hungry in the middle of the night when you play chess with Zhou Gong, and it's not good to ruin the etiquette! β
Slippery! Slippery oil cavity! Oily head slippery brain! Sweet talk! Pei Yao stared directly at the big white steamed bun, but it did not prevent her from hearing Mu Chuyu's words clearly and commenting on it.
"Mu Gongzi is really humorous!" Duan Liling's jade hand stroked the edge of the table, his body leaned slightly towards the small square table, but his cheeks kept facing Mu Chuyu, and his big eyes under a pair of thick eyelashes frequently released some indescribable signals......
I don't know if this Mu Chuyu is pretending to be stupid or really stupid, he pulled Duan Liling's arm leaning on the table, and smiled softly: "Miss Duan, the table is not secure!" Beware of falling! β
Duan Liling: "......"
"By the way, Miss Duan visited late at night, I don't know what it is?" In order to avoid embarrassment, Mu Chuyu could only ask knowingly, his eyes rolled and he took out a few words: "Could it be because of the fact that I went to buy sacrifices tomorrow morning?" If it's inconvenient for the girl, I can do it for you! β
Duan Liling, who stood up straight, couldn't be coquettish like Fang had hypochondria, so he could only stand dignified and replied glutinously: "Of course not!" It's just that today Mu Gongzi relieved me in public because of the sacrifice, but I still repaid the virtue with resentment, which must have hurt Gongzi's heart...... That's why I came to apologize and thank Childe! β
Seeing Duan Liling looking at him shyly, his lips were even softer when he spoke, and a burst of heat rose in Mu Chuyu's body. Although there are not a few girls who throw themselves into their arms on weekdays, he is a famous child with an orthodox education, and he naturally does not refuse those Qinglou women who sell meat for a living, but if it is a serious girl, he still knows how to measure and know the righteousness of not messing up.
Duan Liling saw Mu Chuyu standing stiffly in place, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Strange! He's a well-known playboy in the capital! Why is it like an untrained piece of wood now......
She lowered her eyelids, and after thinking for a while, she simply took off her coat and "whoa"! A layer of tulle floated down the smooth skin, and the thin white arm hooked Mu Chuyu's neck, and his cheeks were close to his ear, exhaling like an orchid: "Mu Gongzi, accept my thank you gift!" β
Seeing this scene, Pei Yao's cheeks turned crimson, and she unconsciously swallowed a few dry saliva, and repeatedly silently chanted in her heart that she would not be respectful! Don't look at indecent acts! Don't look at indecent acts! But he never took his eyes off ......
Grit your teeth, don't overdo it, just listen and don't look!
Although Mu Chuyu was already hungry and thirsty in his heart, and Duan Liling's sultry breath in his ears had seeped into his limbs, he still had to hold himself, hurriedly pushed her away, and smiled dryly: "No need!" Miss Duan is really polite! β
Duan Liling looked confused: Yo! Met a restless Yanagishita Megumi?
"Does Mu Gongzi look down on me?" Duan Liling's foxy eyes were more aggressive.
"Don't dare!" Mu Chuyu said politely, the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly embarrassed.
