431: What to do with you
"I didn't intend to hide it from you. Mu Li wanted to stay by her side before, but naturally he also wanted her to know.
Nalan Jinxiu swallowed the fruit in his mouth, and was about to say something when he saw it. Mu Li said: "The county lord doesn't ask me why I came to Jinling, and why I want to be a medicine cultivator by your side, because I can't explain it clearly." ”
Nalan Jinxiu gave him a strange look. To be honest, since he came to her, she has never been able to understand him thoroughly. Thinking that he was expelled from the northern frontier by his brother, he was alone and had nowhere to go, Jinling was the imperial capital, and it was famous for its prosperity, so it was not surprising that he went.
There was silence between the two again.
Mu Li had already burned the fire very strongly, and he asked lightly: "The county lord returned to the north this time, why didn't he let the prince and the prince send someone to pick him up?"
He said that he was taking and not sending, which proves that he knew about her. Nalan Jinxiu shook his head gloomily: "I'm not the county lord of Zhenbei Wangfu, although I can't go back there." ”
Mu Li frowned: "County Lord, what do you mean by this?"
"Soon after you left, someone came to the door with the real county lord. Judging from the appearance alone, it should also be the prince of Zhenbei Wangfu. As for me...... I don't know who it is, or whether my relatives are still alive. ”
When she tells the truth, her demeanor is calm, as if she is telling someone else's story that has nothing to do with herself.
Mu Li's heart was filled with a faint distress, such a small and fragile woman, without the shade of the Zhenbei Palace, how would she live after she arrived in the northern Xinjiang?
"That being the case, the county lord might as well be a companion with his subordinates. "Anyway, you and I are careless people. He didn't say the last sentence, mainly for fear of arousing her sadness.
"Good. Although the world is peaceful now, she still has a lot of inconveniences when she acts as a single woman. If you can be with him, you will be safe and secure, and you will save a lot of trouble. The most important thing is that she can trust him.
Mu Li probably didn't expect her to agree so happily, so he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. He usually has a blank face, and the whole person looks cold, but this smile is indescribably good-looking.
Nalan Jinxiu rarely saw him laugh, so he couldn't help but praise: "Mu Li, if I didn't say you, you should smile more." ”
Mu Li was probably in a happy mood, and the smile still remained at the corner of his lips, and he raised his eyebrows and looked at her when he heard the words, obviously wanting to hear her explain.
Nalan Jinxiu had already eaten the first fruit. She picked up the second one, still rubbing it on her sleeve, then took a bite and said with some slurred words: "Your teeth are very good, snow-white and neat, and your smile is very good." ”
Nalan Jinxiu's words are telling the truth, Mu Li's teeth are indeed very good, a bit like carved from white jade. But that's not why she thinks he should laugh.
The most important thing is that he is bitter and hateful every day, as if he has died of his wife. She looked troubled, and others also felt unlucky. What's more, he is not young anymore, and the people don't know how many children there are for a man as big as him.
He always has a straight face, and he is afraid that no woman dares to get close to him. He is such a good person, if he is alone all his life, isn't it quite pitiful?
It's just that she didn't say any of these words. With her understanding of Mu Li, if she said so, he would not laugh in the future.
Speaking of which, the guards of the Zhenbei Wangfu are really quite sympathetic. endured the most rigorous training, and received the idea of being loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and protecting the people. They have never planned for themselves, and they don't know the outside world, but there are many beautiful things besides missions.
Privately, she felt that Mu Li left the Zhenbei Palace, and he didn't have to be bound by those rules, and he could do what he wanted, which was actually a blessing.
"Then why did the county lord choose to go to Northern Xinjiang?" Mu Li felt that the sky was high and the sea was wide, if it weren't for the blood ties, why would she go to Northern Xinjiang. After all, the northern frontier has almost reached the far north, the climate is cold, and it borders from the north, and there are constant wars all year round, so it is not a good place to go.
Nalan Jinxiu couldn't tell him that it was Pu Shaozi, the godly study owner, who asked her to go to northern Xinjiang! She said helplessly: "I have no relatives now, and I am penniless, you often fight in northern Xinjiang, and you should need a doctor." ”
Mu Li seemed to understand: "So, does the county lord think that Northern Xinjiang is easy to make money?"
That's pretty much what it means. ”
Mu Li nodded: "Then my subordinates will do chores for you, I don't want to be paid, just take care of food and housing." ”
Nalan Jinxiu thought of what he said when he was pretending to be Li Yang and looking for a job. I remembered that in order to be able to walk with him, he pretended to be greedy for money. I couldn't help but complain again: "Don't you value money the most?"
Mu Li didn't speak, just looked at her lightly, but what he thought in his heart was: The things in this world, what I value most are just you.
"Okay, I'm just teasing you, look at the look in your eyes. Nalan Jinxiu always felt that he looked at her with a little resentment, but he felt that it was inappropriate to describe her like this.
Mu Li withdrew his eyes, took a fruit himself, wiped it on his cuffs casually and began to eat. He has never been particular about eating, and there seems to be no difference between good things and bad things in his mouth, even more so in his expression.
"I didn't expect you to be quite smart. Li Yang is actually Mu Li, why didn't I think of it at the time. ”
Yang Weimu, Li Weili, his name is really arbitrary, and he doesn't seem to be careful. It's just that she didn't realize it at the time, and she was stupid enough.
Mu Li listened to her praise and still had the same face as always, and only ate the fruit in his hand. From time to time, I have to pick up the wood burning in the fire with a stick, and it is still quite cold at night, if the fire is not strong enough, I am afraid that she will catch a cold.
Nalan Jinxiu soon felt sleepy, but she felt very cold, so she couldn't sleep. She sat on the ground against the trees, curling up as much as she could, so that she could warm up a little.
The wound on the lower abdomen is still painful. She was sore and cold, and she felt a faint sense of grievance in her heart. The two most important people in her were the ones she had to stay away from, so in the end, she was the only one to suffer.
She missed the warm room in Jinyuan a little, especially the soft bed, which was always very comfortable to sleep on. It's not like it's cold and hard here, and she can't even sleep because of the discomfort.
That being said, she didn't survive the tiredness of her body and fell asleep after all. Because the wound on her lower abdomen was still painful, she protected the wound with one hand, wrapped the other hand around her knee, and slept in a ball.
Mu Li had never slept, and he was used to being highly vigilant in an unfamiliar and dangerous environment. In such a deep mountain and old forest, and there will definitely be a place where wild beasts live, it is absolutely impossible for him to fall asleep.
And the most important thing is that he is worried about Nalan Jinxiu's injury in his heart. He was also worried that she was not used to it, he just wanted to guard her, and he didn't plan to sleep at all.
Seeing that she couldn't sleep all the time, and she was very uncomfortable, he just hoped that time would pass quickly, and he would definitely take her out of here tomorrow.
Finally, when she was asleep, he leaned over gently, and his coat was draped over her. sat on the other side of the wind again, shielding her from the cold wind of the night.
The distance between the two was very close, and I don't know if it was because he blocked the wind, or because of the normal temperature of his body. Nalan Jinxiu felt less cold in her sleep, and gradually slept more peacefully.
She thought she was still in Jinyuan in a daze, and felt a pair of dry and warm hands tidying up her messy hair. She was very tired, so she didn't even open her eyes, but just whispered: "Third brother, don't make trouble, I'm so sleepy." ”
Mu Li looked down and saw that her hair was messy, and wanted to give him a little tidying up for her, but he didn't expect to hear her say such a thing. It is said that when people are unconscious, the words they say are the words in their hearts, she should be thinking about her husband now, right?
That amazing and brilliant Ji Ge Lao. They were originally husband and wife, but for some reason, they would go to strangers. It's just that looking at the way she can't forget it now, I don't think it's because there is no love clothes between the two.
Thinking about it like this, he felt a little uncomfortable. He knew he loved her in his heart, but he never thought of taking her for himself or having anything to do with her.
Rao is so, knowing that she loves others in her heart, he still has some minds. If you want to come to the real feelings in this world, who can be selfless!
"What do you think I should do with you?" Mu Li's fingers rested on her forehead, bringing the last of her messy hair back behind her ears, looking at her sleeping face and saying helplessly.
Nalan Jinxiu naturally couldn't hear his words, and it was impossible for him to make any response. Her brow furrowed, and her whole person looked soft and harmless.
Mu Li seemed to be able to rarely get so close to her, and when she was asleep, he could look at her quietly. Her facial features were very good, and he had never seen a woman as half as good-looking as hers.
She is now a mother, but she can't see any change at all, it seems that she is still the same half-grown little girl. Speaking of which, she is indeed young, not yet sixteen years old.
And I am indeed much older than her, and it is natural to take care of her. His fingers were still lingering on her forehead, not wanting to leave, but reason eventually prevailed over everything.
Slowly withdrew his hand, he didn't want to be unqualified to stay with her. In fact, this kind of relationship is very humble to say, and it stands to reason that he should not be nostalgic.
But this is the only one who has ever given him warmth, and I am the first person he likes. If it weren't for her, he didn't know how Heartbeat would feel like this.
No matter how good his skills are, he will bow down in front of her. A smile of hers, a tear of hers, are all things that can make him happy and heartbroken......
