508: Affection
Mu Li felt that the moment she just slapped her forehead seemed to be a little too hard. He held her shoulder with one hand, controlling her from moving, and teasing the bangs in front of her forehead with the other, wanting to see if it was red.
His movements were very delicate, revealing a gentleness that was incongruous with those of his martial arts practitioners. Especially when I looked down and examined it carefully, my eyes were illuminated by the starlight, and I couldn't say how bright and beautiful it was.
Nalan Jinxiu was fascinated by his eyes for a moment, it was the kind of thing that was so easy to see that people couldn't help but be dazzled. She didn't blink her eyes, she just watched stupidly.
Mu Li's eyesight is excellent, even at night, he can see clearly. The moonlight wasn't particularly good tonight, but he could still see the faint red mark on her forehead.
"Why do you want to hit yourself?" he bowed his head, his voice cold but also indescribably soft.
"I ......" Nalan Jinxiu didn't know what was wrong with her, and she began to stutter.
Mu Li was still staring at her deeply with his eyes, there was a hint of reproach in his eyes, but more of a focus.
"I, I, I felt like a mosquito had landed on my forehead. Nalan Jinxiu casually lied, but as soon as the words came out, she regretted it. What kind of lame reason is this, where are there mosquitoes in northern Xinjiang at this time?
Of course, Mu Li also heard this loophole, he raised his eyebrows, and he was obviously saying, "There are still mosquitoes this season?"
"Maybe it's not a mosquito, it's something else. Nalan Jinxiu came back with her lie, and her heart was much more comfortable. There were also insects in northern Xinjiang at this time, but there were relatively few of them.
Just when she was at ease, Mu Li spoke again: "My ears have always been sensitive, if there are really insects around me, I will definitely be able to hear it as soon as possible." ”
Nalan Jinxiu remembered the days they were together, and Mu Li was really able to help her catch insects in the first time. So she may be bitten by mosquitoes except when she sleeps at night. Other times, there are no bugs that come close at all.
"Do you want to be so honest!" Nalan Jinxiu said weakly.
Mu Li didn't seem to react, he asked in a tentative tone: "I'm just telling the truth, did I say something wrong?"
Nalan Jinxiu suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed! She really didn't know what kind of structure was in this piece of wood's mind, how could she always look at the problem from such a strange angle? What he should have paid attention to now, wasn't she already extremely ashamed?
With such an honest person, you can't really tell a lie. Otherwise, he doesn't care if you are a white lie or not, and will expose it to you. Nalan Jinxiu lamented powerlessly in her heart: "No wonder you can't be liked by girls when you grow so big, it's strange who likes you!"
After thinking like this, she felt very uncomfortable again. Mu is straight, but what a good person this is, his heart is pure and good, whoever likes him is a blessing.
Nalan Jinxiu has always been short-sighted, and it is even more so for Mu Li and Liangshan. Especially Mu Li, who has lived and died with her so many times, their relationship is really closer than that of relatives.
"No matter what you think in the future, you can't shoot yourself anymore. Mu Li had already discovered that she had such a problem, but whenever she encountered a tricky thing or a problem she couldn't figure out, she wouldn't subconsciously pat her forehead.
He watched from the sidelines, and every time he couldn't help but want to see if she had inadvertently hurt herself. But every time, he was completely suppressed by his amazing self-control.
His relationship with her should be more of a master and servant, he knows what he should do and what he can't do. This boundary, he must not step into it before he finds out that she has feelings for him. Otherwise, there is a high risk that it will be doomed.
That's how he was afraid of losing. Even if you are guarding her as a guard, it is better than watching her from afar. They seemed a little closer now than before, and he could feel her trust, and it was wholehearted.
"You've found out. Nalan Jinxiu was not ready to look at the moon, and said with a smile as she walked back: "I always thought that you were a piece of wood, and you didn't even bother to pay attention to your own affairs, but I didn't expect you to have the strength to observe me." ”
Of course, Mu Li didn't want to say that he didn't care about himself, but he had always been wholeheartedly devoted to her. Sometimes he was around her, ostensibly doing something else, but in fact he was still observing her.
Nalan Jinxiu felt as if she was talking to herself, because she said such a long list of words, and she didn't see the piece of wood answer. But she didn't care, because she was used to it.
"Mu Li, I think King Xun may be sick for a few more days, and we will probably have to camp here for a long time. ”
"Hmm. Mu Li responded lightly.
"I've had enough of their stuff. "Nalan Jinxiu is a little disgusted with King Xun's cooks, they only make small pots for King Xun and the third brother. Although her food is different from the others, it is not very delicate, and the taste is so-so.
She doesn't have a good appetite and eats less these days. Mu Li was also a little worried. Now when she said this, she asked, "Then what do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat pheasant, the kind you used to roast for me. ”
Mu Li once roasted a pheasant for her, and in order to taste better, he also stuffed some wild fruits into the pheasant's belly. Originally, because there was no seasoning, it was used to remove the fishy smell.
Who knew that she liked it at once, saying that this sweet chicken was quite delicious. That time, she ate about half a chicken by herself, and in the end, she was still unsatisfied.
Mu Li always thought that she might be hungry at that time, how did she know that she really liked the taste. He couldn't laugh or cry, but he was very comfortable: "Then I'll catch you tomorrow." ”
Nalan Jinxiu nodded: "Then it is estimated that there are two, I feel that Liangshan will definitely like it." ”
"Good. ”
"Then what kind of fruit did you put last time, don't you remember it yourself?" Nalan Jinxiu remembered that it was a wild fruit picked in the mountains, and he didn't know if there was one in this place.
"It's pretty much the same to replace it with something else. ”
"Will you?"
"Yes, just choose a fruit that is about the same level of sweetness and sourness. Mu Li swore an oath.
Nalan Jinxiu thinks that his current appearance is very cute, it is such a small matter, and he uses this special and determined attitude. It seemed that no matter what she said, he would do his best, even if it was just the one she wanted to eat.
"Wood, do you think I'm good to you?"
"Hmm. ”
"Actually, I think you're really good to me. ”
The first time Mu Li heard her say such a thing, he couldn't help but turn his cheeks to her. Looking at her peaceful eyebrows, she said slowly: "You once chose to forgive my mistakes, even at the expense of offending the world......
Mu Li always remembered the scene at that time, it was clear that she was the one who was hurt the most, and her reputation was ruined by him. But she didn't seem to care at all, and all she wanted was to protect him.
If before that he liked her, then after that, it became an incorrigible liking. How difficult is it to meet such a person in a person's life? He feels fortunate to have three lives.
If he didn't mention it, Nalan Jinxiu would have forgotten so much about it. She smiled: "How long has it been, how can you still remember, besides, this is also a trivial matter." ”
"It's never been a trivial matter for me. ”
In that case, he still had to protect him and be beaten for him, how could he dare to forget? It was precisely because he had such an idea in his heart that he was able to re-practice the left-handed sword without abolishing his right hand.
On the day the left-handed sword was practiced, he knew that it was even stronger than before. The reason why he can do this is because he keeps telling himself that he must be qualified to protect her.
"If that's the case, you've saved me many times, and I guess I'm going to owe you a favor. Nalan Jinxiu's expression was brisk, and her tone was very serious: "We don't need to remember this between us. ”
"Huh?"
"Isn't that too much of an outlier? Only outsiders need to calculate so clearly. ”
The two of them had already walked to the front of the tent when they said this, and Liangshan was pacing back and forth, and when he saw them, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard the movement and came out, and you were all gone, I thought something was wrong." ”
Nalan Jinxiu knew that the two of them were very defensive now, and Liangshan was a careful person, so he shouldn't have had a good night's sleep for a long time: "You don't have to think so much in the future, if they want to calculate me, they will definitely not let you go." ”
Liangshan nodded: "That makes sense." ”
Now the three of them get along very easily and comfortably, and they only pose as masters and servants in front of outsiders.
"Brother Mu, you go to the tent to rest, I'll keep vigil. Liangshan originally felt that the two of them should take turns to guard, but Mu Li insisted on coming by himself, and he often felt that he couldn't go.
Mu Li didn't say anything, only shook his head.
"Actually, I don't have to keep vigil, I don't think these people dare to do anything to me for the time being. "King Xun treated her with great courtesy, and just because she punished people, the clear-eyed people didn't dare to make a move on her.
Liangshan and Mu Li don't think so, the last time it happened, they still remember it vividly. These soldiers of King Xun are usually pampered and pampered, and they don't know how to obey the rules, if anyone offends her, then they are too derelict in their duties.
Nalan Jinxiu saw that the two of them were poking here and didn't move, and sighed: "Why don't you two rest on the side of the screen!"
In the same room with her, Mu Li and Liangshan behaved very consistently this time, that is, they both shook their heads violently.
"Now the conditions are like this, your tent is so thin, it will be cold in the second half of the night! ”
"But ......" Liangshan always felt that this was not in accordance with the rules, which can be said to be too offensive.
"The road ahead is not easy, they are all people who want to be protons, and they still pay attention to so much. "Nalan Jinxiu is determined not to let them guard outside.
