268 Traveling Together [Three Watches]
When she got home, the first thing she did was to take off the cloth bracelet with the wooden kui embroidery on her hand, hide it in a place where she couldn't see it, and then boil a bucket of hot water and immerse herself in the hot water.
When they were outside, they occasionally encountered streams, but they only occasionally wiped their bodies with the stream as they walked around the town. Nuomi is a female cultivator again, and there are always many inconveniences, and it has been a long time since I soaked in hot water like now, and I have untied my hair and washed it well.
She soaked her body completely into the barrel, and was lying on the edge of the barrel, when suddenly she saw Mu Kui appear in the room.
"......" Glutinous rice looked at Mu Kui blankly, and after a long time, he remembered and exclaimed, and then quickly dived into the hot water of the wooden barrel, gurgling, and completely buried himself under the water.
She was a little older now, her body had spread, the lines of her face had softened, and even her small chest had begun to have a slight curvature. She has become fully aware of the changes in her body and has begun to realize the difference between men and women.
Although Mu Kui is just a wood spirit, in Nuomi's consciousness, Mu Kui is an adult man, and there is Ye Fan watching behind him. Now that she suddenly appeared in the room while she was in the shower, she was so ashamed that she wanted to hide herself completely.
But she didn't hide long before her arm was suddenly grabbed, and a huge force pulled her out of the water, causing her to emerge from the water.
"Wow...... What are you doing? Hurry to the side and see...... See...... Don't look at it! ”
Glutinous rice didn't have to look up to know that it must be Mu Kui who dragged her out of the water. Although it was likely that Mu Kui was just afraid that she would drown, she still felt shy, and screamed shyly as she tried to pull her arm out of Mu Kui's hand.
Mu Kui, who has now lost his spirituality, doesn't know if he can understand the shyness of glutinous rice. After being splashed twice with water by Nuo Mi, Mu Kui's eyes flashed, and he slowly let go of Nuo Mi's arm, and sure enough, he obediently walked to the side and turned his back.
Nuomi carefully looked in the direction of Mu Kui, and found that Mu Kui really turned around, and after not looking in her direction at all, he hurriedly washed his long hair, and then quickly climbed out of the barrel, wrapped himself in a cloth towel, wiped it clean, and then quickly changed into a set of clothes.
If it weren't for Mu Kui's sudden appearance, Nuo Mi would have wanted to soak it carefully, but Mu Kui was already in this room, even if she had turned around, she was no longer embarrassed to take a bath when she was in the same room as Mu Kui. If Mu Kui didn't show up, she could pretend not to care about Mu Kui's existence. But now, it's really embarrassing for her.
After the body was completely cleaned up, Nuomi lowered his head and checked it, and felt that there was no problem, so he called Mu Kui over.
Mu Kui has completely lost his spiritual wisdom now, and when he appeared in front of her, it must be because Ye Fan has something to order.
Sure enough, this time it was also a list handed over by Ye Fan, along with a large number of spirit stones. The list is full of fairy grass and pills, which are things that need glutinous rice to help buy in Xianyi City this time. This time the list is a little more than ever, probably because Ye Fan has long wanted Nuomi to help buy things, but because Nuomi is outside all the way, he pressed the list back, and the things he needed followed.
After seeing this extended list, Nuomi suddenly felt a little happy, as if she could see the anxious look on Senior Brother Ye Fan's face when she went out. But when the pleasure passed, she felt that her idea was very wrong.
She is always telling herself that helping the senior brother do things, not to ask for any compensation, nor to make the senior brother rely on her more. But now that she has experienced such a thing, it will still make her feel a little proud in her heart.
Nuomi could only sigh a little secretly, feeling that she really couldn't treat Senior Brother Ye Fan with a normal heart.
Since Ye Fan asked Mu Kui to send this list over as soon as she returned to Xianyi City, although she didn't say anything else, she must have been in a hurry about these things.
If Glutinous Rice has a bad temperament, at this time, Ye Fan should be put aside and told him to be anxious for a while, and he can't help but beg to come to the door so that he can help him do things.
It's a pity that the glutinous rice has a good personality, and I didn't think too much about it at this time, so I took the spirit stones and the list, and prepared to go outside to buy everything back.
When Nuomi had brought everything with her, wiped her slightly damp hair half-dry, tied her hair in a bun, and was about to push the door out, she found that Mu Kui was still standing on the side, staring straight at her.
It's been a long time since I've seen it.
Originally, after Mu Kui was brought back by Ye Fan once, he would never stay outside like he did now. Every time, after handing over the things that Ye Fan explained to Nuo Mi, he silently hid back in the space that belonged to him, even if Nuo Mi summoned him, he might not come out, unless he was instructed by Ye Fan.
It's a spectacle to stay in the room like this now.
Moreover, even when Mu Kui had been staying in her room, he rarely looked at her like this. More often than not, Mu Kui lowered his head, didn't know where to cast his eyes, and just blindly cultivated silently.
Nuomi glanced back at Mu Kui, and saw that Mu Kui was still staring at her in a daze, with no expression on his face, and he didn't move or sit down, so he couldn't help but soften a little, walked up to Mu Kui, took his hand, and asked softly, "Do you want to go outside with me?" ”
When Nuomi asked like this, she didn't have any hope for Mu Kui's response.
In fact, Mu Kui really didn't give her any reply. didn't nod and shake his head, naturally he didn't say anything, just kept his hand on the palm of Nuomi's hand, let her hold it, and didn't break free.
Nuomi waited for a long time, but when he saw that he couldn't get a response from Mu Kui, and he didn't see Mu Kui break free of his hand, he felt that Mu Kui had agreed, and pulled him outside.
Mu Kui was really obedient, and was led by glutinous rice and obediently walked out of the door.
In this Xianyi City, all kinds of spiritual pets kept by monks from all walks of life can be described as strange, and there are all kinds of forms. Although wood spirits like Mu Kui are rare, no one makes any surprised noises except for recruiting a few more people.
Once when she went out, Nuomi even saw a monk riding a young earth dragon walking on the road in this Xianyi City, which almost occupied the space of an entire street. The dragon flicked its tail slightly, and it was about to hit the doors of the shops by the roadside.
This is just a young earth dragon that has just been born for a short time, and if it grows up for a few more years, the streets in this Xianyi City will not be able to fit its size.
Even such a thing is still carried by monks to walk in Xianyi City.
Nuomi was used to seeing all kinds of strange spirit pets in this Xianyi City, so he felt that it was not difficult to take Mu Kui out.
The only thing she was worried about was that Mu Kui didn't know if he could obediently follow her outside. If Mu Kui was brought back by Ye Fan, Nuomi would have full confidence, because Mu Kui at that time was quite tame, no matter what she said, as long as there was a conflict with Ye Fan's orders, he would definitely obey.
But since Mu Kui was brought back by Ye Fan once, this time when he came back, it was called Nuomi, which was completely unrecognizable.
No matter how much she wanted to get close to Mu Kui, Mu Kui was just completely invisible, inaudible, and unaccustomed, as if she had already raised a spirit pet that was suddenly separated from herself.
But after taking Mu Kui outside this time, seeing that Mu Kui was still obediently following her, not running around at all, Nuomi seemed to suddenly find the feeling between him and Mu Kui.
They don't talk to each other very often - it should be said that only Glutinous Rice occasionally says something to Mu Kui when he remembers, and Mu Kui never responds. Slightly falling on glutinous rice was already the biggest reaction he could give. But even so, Nuomi still feels that when she is mixed with Mu Kui, she feels very peaceful in her heart.
Probably because Mu Kui is a wood spirit, there is always an aura like the mountains and forests on his body, which makes people feel spacious and reassured. Many times when she was in the room with Mu Kui, she didn't need to speak at all, and she could feel that the atmosphere in the whole room was different.
Mu Kui's aura is always so gentle.
She took Mu Kui's hand and walked all the way to several shops before she finished buying the things on Ye Fan's list, and then led Mu Kui back to the room.
Along the way, Mu Kui no longer had any use except for being looked at sideways. He didn't look around, he didn't walk around, he just looked down at the glutinous rice, as if he had been in the glutinous rice room, quietly.
The shops that Nuomi went to were already familiar, and those guys saw that Nuomi suddenly led a wood spirit to appear, and some of them were knowledgeable, so they couldn't help but ask Nuomi a few words about this wood spirit; And those who didn't have much knowledge and didn't recognize Mu Ling, when they saw Nuomi holding Mu Kui's hand so intimately, they didn't let go for almost a moment, so they couldn't help but make a few jokes with Nuomi.
"It's not my wood spirit, it's just something that someone else put next to me." Glutinous rice always shook his head very seriously, and said to the guys, "But you've been with me for a long time, and it's really important." (To be continued.)
