CHAPTER XXII

87_87272Su Jiming didn't expect that the only person who had ambitions to leave the island was actually Xiwu's younger brother, and he was already dead. This made him feel embarrassed, and he was embarrassed to ask Xiwu more about his deceased relatives, so he temporarily exposed the topic.

As for Wei Qiong's intention to attack the Wu barbarians, Su Jiming thought about reminding Xi Wu to pay attention, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say that with Xi Wu's straightforward nature, if he said it, he was afraid that Xi Wu would immediately find and kill Wei Qiong. If he can't kill Wei Qiong, he may be counter-killed by the heavily guarded guards. No matter what the result, Su Jiming didn't want to see it.

Now that he has figured out the ins and outs, he has found himself in a new dilemma. Since the barbarians claim to be guardians, they would rather die than hand over the holy relics that can prolong their lives, and perhaps the holy relics really have a reason why they can't leave the island. The life of the Son of Heaven is precious, but if he pays thousands of lives for this, Su Jiming will not be able to convince himself. At present, the situation on both sides is clear, he is the only one, and when he recovers from his injuries and returns, he may have a way to bluff Wei Qiong, so as to protect the sacred relics of the Wu barbarians and the Wu barbarians. But if he did so, he would become a disloyal courtier again......

Xi Wu applied the medicine to Su Jiming's wound, Su Jiming gasped in pain, and finally pulled his sanity back.

Xi Wu looked at Su Jiming with puzzled eyes, as if he wanted to know what he was thinking. Su Jiming avoided his gaze with a clear heart.

After applying the medicine, Xiwu carefully wrapped Su Jiming's wound with a clean cloth. Then he wiped the wound on his palm absently.

Only then did Su Jiming notice that in addition to the long cut just now, there was another wound in Xiwu's palm that was quite fresh, presumably made when he was drugged yesterday. Using blood into medicine and healing injuries with injuries, this intention made the softest place in Su Jiming's heart hurt slightly.

Xiwu's medicine is very effective, and after a day, Su Jiming's wound festering is much better, but he is too deeply injured, even if Xiwu's blood heals him, such an injury is not complete in ten days and half a month. In order to prevent the wound from cracking again, Su Jiming lay on the bed and did not dare to get off the ground. The place where Xiwu took Su Jiming was a suburban hut, which was about the temporary residence of Orion. Su Jiming didn't know how Xiwu found this place, although there were bedding and some hunting tools in the house, but there was not even a book, Su Jiming was lying on the bed to recuperate from his injuries, and he couldn't do anything, Xiwu was a stuffy guy who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks, and Su Jiming was so idle that he could only puff his teeth.

In the evening, Xiwu was about to go out, Su Jiming guessed that he was going to get food and came back, so he stopped him: "You change your clothes." "Xiwu's costume as a barbarian priest is too eye-catching, and now the government is looking for him everywhere, and going out in this dress is too ostentatious.

Xi Wu rummaged through the room, and really found a set of Orion's shorts in the cabinet. He changed his clothes, walked up to Su Jiming, showed Su Jiming with open arms, and asked in half-baked Chinese: "Okay...... Is it good-looking? ”

Su Jiming had never seen Xi Wu dressed like this. Xiwu's priestly robes, holy and ascetic, completely concealed his perfect figure, and his style was not visible. And when he put on the Orion suit, an animal skin vest and short linen pants, revealing slender and strong arms and legs, as well as a piece of honey-colored skin on his chest, Su Jiming's throat rolled up and down involuntarily, remembering how many nights Xiwu wrapped his strong arms around his waist, and how his strong abdomen moved...... His face burned uncontrollably.

Xi Wu reached out and touched his face worriedly: "You...... Fever? ”

Su Jiming turned his head sideways to avoid his hand: "No, no." There you go. ”

Xiwu didn't leave, and asked persistently, "Good-looking?" ”

Su Jiming was angry and funny, but he didn't expect Xi Wu to care about this, so he had to say: "It's good-looking." ”

Xi Wu thought for a while, as if searching for words, and then asked another question: "Xi...... Happy? ”

Su Jiming: "......"

Seeing that Su Jiming was slow to answer, Xiwu wondered, "I'...... Wrong? ”

The corners of Su Jiming's mouth twitched: "You can speak quite a lot of Chinese." ”

Probably took off the priest's robe, and lost that dignity, Xiwu at this moment looked a little innocent, and didn't seem to understand the deep meaning of the word liking, but just asked him if it was inappropriate to dress like this. Su Jiming didn't answer, he kept waiting, compared to wasting patience, Su Jiming really couldn't consume him, so he had to say vaguely: "It's good, you can go quickly." ”

Xiwu smiled very shallowly: "I...... Also...... Like...... You. ”

Su Jiming turned his head and said silently: Pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger!

Fortunately, Xiwu didn't bother anymore, so he went out. It took longer than yesterday to pick melons and fruits, so long that Su Jiming was a little worried that Xiwu had lost his way or encountered a pursuer, and Xiwu finally came back.

In addition to food, he even brought back something that made Su Jiming's eyes shine - it was a stack of books!

The book was like a lifesaver for Su Jiming, who was about to grow hair, and he hurriedly asked, "Where did you get it?" No one found out, right? ”

Xiwu took out a pearl from his pocket and signaled that he had exchanged it for it. Naturally, the barbarians did not have Han coins, but they were rich in tortoiseshell, pearls, clams and other jewels, and Xi Wu casually pulled a bead from his scepter for a large price. Although exchanging pearls for a few old books is a bit extravagant and wasteful, for Su Jiming at this moment, he is willing to exchange it for ten times the price.

Xi Wu put the book on the head of Su Jiming's bed, Su Jiming looked at him in a daze for a while, and said in a low voice: "Thank you......"

This is Xiwu's intimacy, he doesn't say anything, but silently pays attention to his needs and quietly satisfies them. He never asks for credit, as if every qiē is taken for granted. In the past, when he was on Hainan Island, Su Jiming didn't have much feeling about this kind of thoughtfulness, because it was on Xiwu's territory, and there were some things he thought that Xiwu was just at his fingertips, and he couldn't understand that kind of intention. However, at this moment, Xiwu's thoughtfulness made it really difficult for him not to be moved.

Xiwu gently touched his hair, then turned to get food.

Su Jiming picked up the book that Xi Wu got and read. Although Xiwu can speak some Chinese, he doesn't know much about Chinese characters, and he doesn't pick when he buys books, he takes a stack and leaves, the books here are uneven, there are three-character classics for children to learn for beginners, there are chapter back novels of Miss Scholar, there are literati essays, and some picture books. Su Jiming casually pulled out a novel and looked at it.

He had only read a chapter back, and Xiwu brought the food over. He made some pastries, fruits and vegetables, cut them into small pieces and brought them to Su Jiming, and then sat down on the bed.

Su Jiming was puzzled: "What are you doing?" ”

Xi Wu slowly helped Su Jiming up, then sat down behind him, passed his hands through his waist, in an embracing posture, and took the book in his hand: "I also read." ”

Only then did Su Jiming understand that Xiwu wanted to read with him. Such an intimate gesture made Su Jiming a little flustered and wanted to break away, but Xi Wu only circled him tighter, his chin was against his shoulder socket, and the hot breath that he spat out when he spoke slid past his ears: "Don't move, the wound will crack." ”

Su Jiming said angrily: "Don't hold me like this." ”

Xiwu took a piece of steamed bread and fed it to him: "Let you lean on, you can't use force." ”

Su Jiming was stunned. Xi Wu is also telling the truth, if there is no backrest to support him, he can't sit up right with his injury, and lying down and reading a book covers the light source too much to hurt his eyes, such a posture is just right. The reason given by Xiwu seems to be to sympathize with him, but in fact, his intentions are ...... Su Jiming really wanted to cut off a stick-like object attached to his back!
