Chapter Twenty-Six: At the Critical Moment, You Have to Look at the Worms
Outside the window, the cold spring tinkled and the hazy moonlight sprinkled on the window paper.
Zhongli Chuchu was lying on his side on the pillow, holding the crystal clear ice flower hibiscus in his hand, looking at the various colors in the boudoir.
Although it is located in Miaojiang, this house is no different from the boudoir of the Central Plains.
There are a lot of books on the shelves, many of them were brought by Jiujiu's grandfather when he fled, and the covers are yellow, but they are clean and tidy. In addition to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there are also common objects in the boudoir of Miss Qianjin, such as the piano table and the painting case, which are of high quality workmanship and high value, all of which are carefully prepared by Jiu Jiu.
After Zhongli Chuchu was carried out of the fire pit by the master and came here, he did not suffer a day, although he was in a relatively barren Miao Village, he lived a life of fine clothes and food, even his hair and nails would be carefully cared for, and all kinds of mountain treasures were used to wash his face, maybe the young ladies of the princely family were not as extravagant as her.
I used to be extremely attached to Master because Master was the first person in the world to be so good to her. And running away from home is also because she found that the master was so good to her, and had other purposes, not just to like her, a little girl that no one wants.
However, after crossing the mountains and seas, from the easternmost to the westernmost, and from the southernmost to the northernmost, after going around the whole world, Chu Chu's thoughts on drilling the horns of the bull have long been seen.
In any case, at least she and Master are still inseparable and safe, and they can continue like this forever in the future.
Now lying on this small bed again, Zhongli Chuchu's eyes have regained the attachment and warmth of her childhood, but the jade pendant in her hand still gives her something else under her eyes.
After all, there were two people in the house when I left, and three when I returned.
There was a man who came out halfway and inserted himself between her and the master, making the simple family affection and filial piety of the mother and daughter change the taste......
"Alas......"
Zhongli Chuchu's slender fingers rubbed the jade pendant, wanting to fall asleep, but he couldn't sleep.
I remember when I was a child, every night, Master would run over to tuck her quilt in the middle of the night, and if she found that she was not asleep, he would lie down beside her and hug her, telling stories about the world and the north until she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Now, the master will definitely not come over at night, and it is estimated that he is sleeping with the man in his arms, telling stories to the man, tucking the quilt and something, how can he bother to take care of her......
Thinking of this, Zhongli Chuchu pursed his lips, and he was a little jealous in his heart.
But she couldn't tell whether she was jealous of Xu Buling who robbed her master, or whether her master robbed her man.
Maybe it's both......
Zhongli Chuchu lay down for a long time and couldn't sleep, so he sat up again, put on his shawl, and opened the door.
The lights of the opposite house had been turned off, and there was no movement at all, as if it had gone to bed.
However, Zhongli Chuchu knew the time of the two of them, and now should be the time when the master leaned his neck and screamed, and he didn't make a sound, probably because he couldn't scream because he covered his mouth by Xu Buling.
"Humph......"
After Zhongli Chuchu glanced at it twice, he picked a leaf from the small tree next to the courtyard wall, sat on the small bench under the eaves, brought the leaf to his lips, looked at the stars within reach of the sky, and blew "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".
Woo~~Woo~~
The melody is tactful, looming among the mountains.
Zhongli Chuchu was blowing a tune, and there was actually a bit of mischief in his eyes, imagining the expression of Xu Bulingsheng who had no love and Master who had no place to be ashamed.
It was just blowing for a moment, and there was no movement in the room.
Zhongli Chuchu was slightly puzzled, according to the normal situation, the master should pretend to be woken up, ask a few words in a daze, and then let her go back to sleep, how could she pretend not to hear?
After the tune was mediated, Zhongli Chuchu thought about it, got up and walked into the courtyard, and listened attentively.
There was a 'buzzing' sound in the house, which was obviously not a walk-in room, and felt more like the sound of mosquitoes flying around.
How can there be mosquitoes in the house?
Zhongli Chuchu was a little dazed, walked into two steps, and opened his mouth to call:
"Master?"
There was no response in the room, but something small slammed against the window with a soft sound.
??
Zhongli Chuchu's heart sank, and he secretly sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked to the door. But just as he wanted to raise his hand to push the door, he remembered something, and ran to the side room to get the gown to prevent the bite of poisonous bees, and put it on his body......
------
Earlier.
Xu Buling lay on the freshly laid futon, holding the back of his head with a big old man's style, waiting for his stupid daughter-in-law to come and serve.
Zhongli Jiujiu quietly removed the pole, and after the window closed, the room was quiet for a while.
She turned around, glanced at Xu Buling, Mingyan's cheeks were obviously a little more shy and flushed, walked to the bed, raised her hand to take off the silver jewelry on her head and waist, and put it on the dressing table next to her, her long hair fell like a cloud, and shook it gently in front of the candlelight.
Xu Buling admired it from top to bottom, and he didn't even mean to move his position, and he didn't even want to take off his clothes by himself.
Zhongli Jiujiu was a little annoyed, but he was helpless, so he squatted down beside the bed obediently, took off Xu Buling's boots, then blew out the candle, and sat down beside Xu Buling.
Zhongli Jiujiu's belongings, in addition to the leg rings tied to his legs, are also small porcelain vases sandwiched between the dumplings. At this time, he lifted his skirt, first pulled off the leg ring, picked it up on the dressing table with his toes, untied the placket, took out a small porcelain bottle from it, and put it aside.
Xu Buling adjusted his posture, raised his eyebrows, and motioned for the horse to come over.
Zhongli Jiujiu bit his lower lip and glared, before he pressed on Xu Buling's body, lowered his head and put his lips together......
窸窸窣窣窣......
In the birdcage in the window, the little sparrow stepped on the crossbar and swinged, and when he saw the two shameless ones fighting again, he turned his head a little bored.
The window was closed and he couldn't get out, so the little sparrow flew to the dressing table, raised his claws and kicked, and kicked the small porcelain bottle containing the lock dragon Gu.
Grunt grunt –
The bottle rolled around the table several times, and the sound of a small beetle flapping its wings sounded inside, apparently woken up.
The little sparrow jumped up and down on the dressing table, ran to the other end and stepped on the small bottle, and kicked the little porcelain bottle to the other side with another kick.
After going back and forth like this a few times, the lock dragon Gu in the bottle 'buzzed', obviously a little unbearable.
Zhongli Jiujiu was holding the feed, his breathing was slightly unsteady, and he turned his head to see the little sparrow making trouble next to him, and he was a little annoyed, and then leaned over and picked up the small porcelain bottle, picked up the lid with his fingers, and released the little beetle.
Xu Buling's mouth was empty, he sighed a little disappointedly, turned his head to look at Yiyi, who was chasing the little beetle around, and smiled:
"It's not afraid of locking dragon Gu?"
Zhongli Jiujiu climbed back and said absentmindedly: "I raised them together since I was a child, it's just a joke, what are you afraid of." Everything has spirituality, birds and beasts also have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and you don't understand it......"
Xu Buling nodded thoughtfully, and wanted to talk about the knowledge of man and nature, but he was covered by Jiu Jiu's face, and he could only say 'uh-huh' twice.
The room was silent, except for the sound of little sparrows chasing beetles.
Zhongli Jiujiu's eyes were half-squinted, his eyes gradually blurred, his body fluctuated, and when he was gradually getting better, he suddenly saw a small beetle flying around the house and burrowed under the bed.
The little sparrow followed, stood beside her boots and looked over, and just after two glances, she suddenly flew into her arms as if frightened.
Zhongli Jiujiu woke up instantly, sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly held his breath and condensed, listening to the movement below with a slight movement at the base of his ears.
Xu Buling was also a little dazed, but the martial artist's instinct was still there, and after discovering that something was wrong, he didn't move, and looked at Zhongli Jiujiu with bated breath, and asked with his eyes.
Zhongli Jiujiu's slightly flushed cheeks gradually became serious, lying on his stomach without moving, staring at the side of the bed.
Xu Buling squinted his eyes, and gradually heard the sound of 'buzzing', which was the sound of the dragon Gu fanning its wings, mixed with a very small sound, flying under the bed board.
Soon, two vague small black dots flew out from under the bed board, and it was obvious that the Lock Dragon Gu showed signs of madness, chasing quickly in the air.
In front of the small black beetle, there was a much smaller insect, with a green glow in the moonlight, which seemed to be very afraid of the dragon locking Gu, and scurried around the house like a headless fly, looking for a place to hide.
“……”
Although Xu Buling didn't know what this thing was, he had locked the dragon Gu before, and he also knew something about Gu worms.
Gu raising is mostly to close hundreds of poisonous insects together, kill each other and feed on flesh and blood, and the last one left is Gu, after becoming a Gu, it is impossible to coexist with other poisonous insects, and will only use weak poisonous insects as food.
The Lock Dragon Gu is known as the Gu King, and it must be an invincible existence among the poisonous insects. The little green mosquito in front of him is not sure if it is a poisonous Gu, but it can arouse the ferocity of the Lock Dragon Gu, and it is definitely not a simple thing.
You must know that in the past, when Jiu Jiu took out the Lock Dragon Gu and released it into the wind, there were no mosquitoes and flies in a hundred kilometers; The little beetle is too lazy to take care of ordinary insects, and in a situation like this, Xu Buling will see it for the first time.
Buzz Buzz –
Two small bugs flew around the house, and in a few cases even flew near the curtain.
Xu Buling and Zhongli Jiujiu hugged each other, still at a negative distance from each other, staring at the poisonous insects without moving, except for their eyes, they didn't even move their eyelashes.
The little sparrow also seemed to know the danger, hiding between the two of them, not daring to move, completely losing the courage when he chased and killed the dragon lock Gu......
