Section VIII

At this time, the water in the clay pot boiled, and with a "bang", a large puff of white gas came out. Zhu Yuqing hurriedly got up and walked towards the furnace. Wu Ming said: "That's what Iwakawa does, Xiaoqing, what about Yundu?" But what can be done? ”

Zhu Yuqing walked to the fireplace, then lifted the sand pot, sighed and said, "Yundu? As you said, it's tasteless to take it and it's a pity to lose it. Others may have nothing else to think about, but you have Sister Esther, she is a former saintess of the Divine Sect, and it may be rewarding to let her go to Yundu. Alas, in fact, I don't want to calculate the deadwood master, he cured me of my chronic disease, but I can say that I am rebuilt. ”

She brought a tall wooden bucket, poured boiling water into it, added cold water and tested the water temperature, and felt that it was almost there, before saying: "Ah Ming, it's not early, hurry up and burn your feet, get ready to rest." ”

As soon as she said this, Wu Ming remembered the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly got up, leaned over to her crystal small earlobe, and said softly: "The manuscript given to you by Master Deadwood is not the exchange technique of rejuvenation and life yuan." ”

Zhu Yuqing expected that he would suddenly say this, so he didn't raise his head and blurted out: "Yes." As soon as the words came out, she felt bad, her hand trembled, only to hear the sound of "pop", the sand pot had fallen into the barrel entirely, she jumped away, and exclaimed: "Amin, you, do you know everything?" ”

Wu Ming was very satisfied with the shocking effect, nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, I came from Xiao Ai's side, and she told me everything." ”

Zhu Yuqing was still a little stunned, sighed and said: "I knew that paper couldn't hold the fire, you would know sooner or later, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly." ”

Listening to his tone, it was as if he had done something rebellious. Wu Ming was a little amused, and continued: "What's wrong with the rejuvenation technique?" Don't you want to live forever and stay with me? ”

At this time, Zhu Yuqing had regained her composure, she stepped forward to fish the sand pot out of the water, and said while fishing: "I naturally want to look good." But as I said, life is too short and you still have so much to do. The sand pot was fished out of the water and wet the hem of her skirt, but she ignored it and said with tears in her eyes: "I don't want to drag you back." ”

Wu Ming was greatly moved, stepped forward, took the sand pot from her hand, and put it on the ground. Then he grabbed her thin shoulders with his backhand, stared at her like a flower and said, "What hind legs are not hind legs?" Isn't it said that we will live and die together? ”

Zhu Yuqing still shook his head, his face full of sadness. Wu Ming untied Chixiao from his waist, pointed to the word "Great Compassion" on the hilt of the sword, and said softly: "Xiaoqing, do you know the origin of the word 'Great Compassion'?" ”

Wu Ming and Chixiao have always been inseparable, Zhu Yuqing and her husband have stayed in Nanning for three years, and they are familiar with the words 'great wisdom', 'great bravery', and 'great compassion' on the hilt of the sword, and can't help asking: "What, do you know the reason?" ”

Wu Ming told her about the dry heart, Zhu Yuqing was silent for a long time, and sighed: "The master of the dry heart is really pitiful......

Tightening her delicate body, Wu Ming said, "Yes, you don't want me to grow old and be as lonely as a dry heart." He smiled suddenly: "Besides, for the husband to be wise and martial, what if he becomes a grandmaster?" It's more than 200 years old. Even if you share the profit lifespan, plus your life, everyone still has to live for more than 100 years, and they all say that life is 100 years, but in fact, how many people can enjoy 100 years? After all the math, I've actually earned it. ”

Hearing what he said interestingly, Zhu Yuqing burst into tears and said with a smile: "Live more than 100 years old, then I won't be an old witch, so I won't do it." ”

Although she said that she would not do it, she had actually agreed in disguise, Wu Ming couldn't help but be overjoyed, hugged her and said: "Okay, let's take a closer look at it now, what is going on with this yin and yang, and the fate of each other." ”

"What." Zhu Yuqing pushed her away, her face was red to the root of her ears, and she waved her hand again and again: "No, no, tomorrow Sister Esther will have to laugh to death, I can't ......" Her face changed, and she pushed Wu Mingchao outside again and again: "You go quickly, don't stay here, go find Sister Esther." ”

So, in the protest of the Governor of Wu, he was swept out of the house for the third time, and it was already the middle of the night.

The night is quiet. In the distance, there was occasionally a dog barking or two, and because it was quiet, the moon became more and more revealing its true colors, and the brightness was projected down like a light veil, covering the tent with a layer of silver veil. But Wu Ming couldn't wait to slap a few big mouths of himself: "Cheap, everyone Xiaoqing has agreed." Even the water for washing your feet has been boiled, but you are going to say that it is so explicit, now it's okay, there is nowhere to go. ”

The latter consisted of five tents of different sizes, one each occupied by Zhu Yuqing, He Yi and Esther, and one was a dining room and living room. And the smallest tent on the far side of the left hand is Xiaohui's. The night was as cold as water, although Wu Ming was not afraid of the cold, but he was a little sleepy at this time, he yawned and found a clean place to sit down. Are you really going to sleep out tonight?

He couldn't cry or laugh, and couldn't help humming: "One monk carries water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat...... has a three-room wife, but on the first day, he ate three times in a row. In this situation, it is appropriate to sing this song.

was feeling sorry for himself, and suddenly heard someone whispering, "My lord, is it you?" ”

Wu Ming stood up and responded, "It's me." ”

By the small tent on the left, Xiaohui stood in a pavilion under the moonlight, looking towards this side with a concerned face. Wu Ming walked over and said, "What, I'm arguing with you?" ”

Xiaohui shook her head: "My lord, why is it late, why don't you sleep yet?" ”

"This." Wu Ming touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "I can't sleep, and I'm afraid of noisy Xiaoyi, so I came out to relax." ”

This kind of messy thing that can't get in after passing through the door three times is too embarrassing, so it's better not to publicize it. Xiaohui nodded, and said obediently: "Yes, the second lady is pregnant, and it is a little inconvenient after all......"

What an empathetic girl, much better than the previous three. Wu Ming was greatly moved, and nodded again and again: "It's very much, so I came out to relax......

A hint of blush appeared on Xiaohui's cheeks: "My lord, it's cold and dewy, it's not good for you to stay outside after all." Why don't you go to my tent and rest......"

Is this a message that the flowers are blooming? Wu Ming's heart was hot, but he said due to inertia: "This, it's not good......

Xiaohui said pitifully: "Could it be that the adults dislike the servants......

In winter, the night was very cold, although she was wrapped in a velvet pajamas, but after a long time, her petite body was also shivering from the cold. Wu Ming sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that if she didn't agree, I was afraid that she would say something again, "The maid is old and decrepit, and she is too good to serve adults." Such inferiority complexes. So he said, "Okay, it's better to go to your tent and rest." ”

As soon as she said this, Xiao Hui breathed a sigh of relief, the blush on her cheeks became more conspicuous, and she leaned sideways and said, "Your Excellency, please." ”

The inside of the tent is not as luxurious as Esther, nor is it as warm as spring as Zhu Yuqing, but it is very clean and clean. Looking at the pattern, this was probably the residence of Liao Sheng's concubine. Liao Sheng is lustful, and there are dozens of wives and concubines, so those who can enter the inner account are extremely favored women. The tent is small, but the arrangement is shabby. There was a small stove in the corner, the charcoal in it was about to go out, and it was emitting a dim red light. Further on, there is a table inlaid with jade nan, and four mahogany chairs are placed in each of the four directions. Xiaohui walked over, cleaned the charcoal ash with tongs, and threw a few new pieces of charcoal into it, and the fire burned again. Seeing that Wu Ming was still looking around, she walked over with a crimson face and was about to untie Wu Ming's coat. Wu Ming smiled and said, "I'll come by myself, it's freezing, you go to bed to rest, don't freeze." ”

Xiaohui was stunned, but her face turned even redder, and she hurriedly returned to the side of the bed and curled up into a ball and lay on the inside of the bed. Wu Ming finished looking at it and dragged a few chairs over and put them together. Although these chairs are not big, if they are put together in four, Wu Ming can barely lie down. Xiaohui heard the sound of Wu Ming dragging a chair, turned her head and said, "My lord, aren't you going to bed to rest?" ”

Wu Ming put the four chairs together, lay down and breathed a sigh of relief: "No need, I'll sleep here." ”

Xiaohui stood up, her face full of resentment: "My lord, if I come down to sleep, you can come to bed and sleep." She sat up, her nightgown half-undone, revealing the snow-like skin on her shoulders. Wu Ming was startled, and said, "What are you doing when you get up, it's not good to catch a cold." ”

Xiaohui was drunk by him, her face turned pale, and she was busy lying down again. Although the night is cold now, Wu Ming's nine-stage master has long been cold and heatless. He tossed for most of the night, in fact, he was already sleepy, but once the sleepiness passed, he couldn't sleep now. Although there are some wolves tonight, it is not for nothing, at least there is a general direction for the domestic and foreign affairs of China and the West. As he was digesting what he had earned, he suddenly heard a faint sob. He was taken aback and rolled over to sit up, forgetting that he was lying in his chair and almost fell off.

Wu Ming held on to the back of a chair and calmed down. Following the sound, I saw that Xiaohui got up again at some point, and was sitting on the bed sobbing quietly. He pulled out a chair, walked to the side of the bed, and whispered, "Xiaohui, can't you sleep?" Having a nightmare? ”

Xiao Hui raised her head and looked at Wu Ming. A pair of big eyes glistened with tears in the firelight, and his face was surprisingly white. She wiped her eyes and forced a smile, "My lord, I'm sorry, I bothered you, right?" ”

Wu Ming sighed: "Xiaohui, I naturally understand your intentions, so I can't bear you." But because of that, I can't let you follow me in such a fool's way. I'm going to find a time to go to your house to hire you and marry you openly, do you think it's okay? ”

What's so bad about that?

Xiao Hui was dumbfounded, she never dreamed that Wu Ming would say such words. After a while, he called softly: "My lord......" and then like a ruyan, he threw himself into Wu Ming's arms and cried unwillingly.
