Chapter 44: Matters of the Heart
Wu Xi brewed tea slowly, he came from a scholarly family, and naturally learned the tea ceremony, not to mention proficient, but also slightly understood. The cold-faced man sat aside, he didn't know how powerful Wu Xi was, and he didn't take him seriously, but now he saw his martial arts and respected him a lot. After sitting for a while, and seeing that Wu Xi was still making tea there, the cold-faced man couldn't sit still, stood up and walked out of the door.
"Where to go?" Wu Xi's voice sounded, he didn't look at the cold-faced man, but still focused on the tea set, as if he had instantly become a tea ceremony master.
"Go back to your room." The cold-faced man stopped and replied, seeing that Wu Xi didn't speak, he walked out of the door again. After going out of the threshold and seeing that there was no one outside, he took a few steps back to the room and said, "I'm going to the firewood room tonight, are you going?" ”
Wu Xi took a sip of the teacup, nodded, and felt fine, then said, "Go, later, wait for them to fall asleep." The cold-faced man nodded when he heard this, turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait" Wu Xi stopped him, and the cold-faced man looked back and saw a turquoise ball crashing into him. Startled, he turned to dodge, and the thing slammed into the door frame, cracking with a crisp sound. The cold-faced man's face was splashed with water droplets, and it turned out to be a cup, just spinning at high speed, looking like a green ball. This hand is also played beautifully, the speed must be so that the cold-faced man can dodge, and he must control the direction of the tea splash in the cup.
The cold-faced man wiped a handful of warm droplets of water on his face, and yelled angrily at Wu Xi: "What are you doing!" It's just that he is very jealous of his martial arts, and he doesn't want to kill him directly.
Wu Xi held a teacup in front of his eyes and observed it carefully, as if he could see a flower from it, and said casually: "Don't do anything, teach you a lesson." After speaking, he put down the teacup, stared at the cold-faced man and warned: "I warn you, it's best not to spoil my business, and don't let the people in this valley recognize your martial arts." After a pause, he said sharply, "Don't force me to kill you!" ”
The cold-faced man frowned, knowing that if he really hindered his "mission", he might really be able to kill him, so he didn't recklessly, bowed his head and responded, "Yes!" And he left.
When he left, Wu Xi was still leisurely making tea, but his mind was planning his actions for the night. There was a problem, he didn't know where the firewood house was, and when he went to the garden, he didn't seem to pass by such a place. So he found Zhong Ling again, and bluntly said that he was bored and wanted to visit her house, Zhong Ling did not doubt it, she still wanted to stay with Wu Xi for a while, so the two of them walked slowly around the Valley of Ten Thousand Tribulations, and Wu Xi knew the location of the firewood house.
Zhong Ling is still as optimistic and cheerful as ever, and is extremely good at talking, but unfortunately Wu Xi is a little absent-minded. A little later, the sun was about to set, and it was no longer suitable for the lonely man and widow to continue chatting, so the two separated and went back to their rooms.
The next day, almost all the people in the valley fell asleep, that is to say, except for a few, and among them was Mu Wanqing. She had some insomnia, got up early, sat alone on a stone by the pond, folded her arms around her knees, stared at the water with her eyes distracted, and quietly thought about her thoughts. There were a lot of things she encountered yesterday, and the impact on her heart was also very huge.
The oath that has been kept for several years has been broken, and the appearance that has been hidden for several years is seen, and the worst thing is that there is more than one person, and what is even worse is that there is a witch seal among them. As soon as she thought of Wu Xi, a shameless, insidious, cunning, vicious, and dangerous scum, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Thinking that he actually took advantage of his own poisoning and exchanged a bottle of problematic antidote for his black rose, he couldn't see a little gentlemanly demeanor at all. If the antidote is no problem, then it's fine, there are few gentlemen, and there are many men who are not worthy of the outside, so it is not particularly despicable to trade fairly, but he wants to exchange a bottle of antidote with "side effects", which is really insidious and vicious.
Well, what she didn't know was that Wu Xi originally wanted to say that this antidote was strong and could not be drunk at one time, but unfortunately Mu Wanqing drank it too quickly and didn't give him a chance to remind him at all.
Mu Wanqing felt that she would never dislike a person like this again, although she did ride the black rose away, but that was not her intention, right? This cruel beast actually knocked himself into the river! (Well, she automatically ignored the fact that she wanted to take out Wu Xi with her sleeve arrow.) )
God is pitiful, he finally didn't drown, but this shameless bastard actually dared to kiss himself! Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing's heart was hysterical: "You dare to kiss me!" What else are you saying is saving me! Bastard! I don't know if chastity is more important than life for a girl?! ”
"This scumbag!" Mu Wanqing hatefully picked up a stone and threw it into the pool, watching the hateful handsome face in the pool disappear without a trace under the ripples, somehow, she felt that her face was very hot. Thinking that she was plotted by him, she actually thought about it again, Mu Wanqing even wanted to die, and shook her head vigorously with her red face: "Ahhh Let me die! Ahhh Don't think about it anymore! ”
Then thinking of the moment when Wu Xi handed her the paper, Mu Wanqing whispered to herself in a somewhat distracted voice: "Actually, he seems to be quite considerate" Thinking of this, Mu Wanqing felt warm in her heart again, she clearly remembered that at that moment, Wu Xi did not show even any bit of banter, sarcasm, ridicule and any other strange expressions and actions.
It's just that a very ordinary, normal handing of the paper to her, and I can't even see the slightest reluctance and embarrassment, as if what I gave her was not a life-saving thing that could relieve the embarrassment that made her die of shame, but just gave her a very ordinary thing, so ordinary that it was not enough to mention, and there was nothing abnormal. This made her feel good, and her shame and anger were calmed down very well, which can even be said to be a redemption.
So later, when he heard him talking to the two bad guys who were chasing and killing him, and knew that they were in a gang, Mu Wanqing felt that his heart was going to be cold. But when he heard him say that he wanted the two to give up chasing him, his cold mood miraculously warmed up again. These things one by one, one by one, easily broke through the psychological defense line of this ignorant girl, making her mood ebb and flow, this feeling is too amazing, so that she is really difficult to let go, and the memory is profound.
Thinking that on the way to the Boundless Sword, he always seemed to be secretly looking at himself, Mu Wanqing thought again: "Is he not thinking about me, yes, ah, ah!" Mu Wanqing shook her head violently, as if she wanted to get those annoying thoughts out of her mind.
"Alas~ Go back and sleep again, the master will get up in a while, and it will be bad if she finds out." She stood up and wanted to go back to her room.
But as soon as she took two steps back, she couldn't help but think: "But he and Zhong Ling and the two of them seem to sigh~" The girl sighed, and finally didn't want to think about it anymore. At this moment, she suddenly saw two figures flashing on the eaves on the opposite side of the pond, and she was shocked. She saw it just now, and one of them seemed to be Wu Xi?
So he hesitated for a moment, but he didn't make up his mind to call someone after all, he just used his way to follow from a distance
