Chapter 40: The Past Is Like Smoke
"Don't be sad, they're all gone."
Luo Wuchen really couldn't bear it, and the girl's crying made him feel cold and sad.
The girl looked up, looked at the white but calm young man in front of her, and reached out to touch her tears.
"Thank you."
"See if there's anything important to take, and I'll send you back where your family is, or..." or follow yourself back to the Valley of the Drunkards.
"Well, I'm going back." The girl firmly interrupted Luo Wuchen's last words.
"Okay."
The girl picked up the package she had just thrown away in a panic, brought dry food, and the two of them hastily buried the nurse and a few other people, erected a monument, and after kneeling down, they followed Luo Wuchen to the front.
The two came to a dilapidated temple, and Luo Wuchen lit the candles inside with a flame, and soon the hall was lit up.
Luo Wuchen laid the straw on the ground, let the girl sit there to rest, and he sat next to him, Luo Wuchen skimmed the girl's torn trouser legs on her knees, and the skin had been broken at the knees, and there were traces of blood overflowing.
"I'll help you bandage it." Luo Wuchen took out the wound medicine he had brought from the package.
"Hmm."
"It's very effective, it doesn't leave a scar."
The girl rolled up her trouser legs and relaxed to let Luo Wuchen take the medicine.
"What's your name?" The girl asked curiously.
"Dustless, what about you?"
"My name is Mu Xi." In fact, her surname is Feng, her name is Xi, Mu Xi is called by her nurse and the people around her, and her real name is not allowed to be told to outsiders from her mother's mother, otherwise it will be dangerous.
"Whoop."
I saw Luo Wuchen tear off the hem of his shirt and carefully wrap the girl's knees.
"And what are your plans?" Luo Wuchen asked.
"I have to go to my relative's house."
"Well, why did they kill you?"
"Maybe I'm afraid I'll go back and rob their property."
"Hmm. Eat some dry food. ”
Luo Wuchen gave the snacks to Mu Xi, and the water was also distributed to Mu Xi in half. Mu Xi was extremely grateful in her heart, and the name Luo Wuchen was also branded on her heart.
The two spent the night in the temple, and when it was dawn, they hurried together.
Fortunately, they met an old uncle, who happened to be going to the border city too, and was willing to take a ride with Muxi, all to pass the boring time and have someone to chat with.
Since then, they have never seen each other again, and the jade pendant was found by Mu Xi in the temple, and he did not return it to him with all his selfishness.
Luo Wuchen recalled the past, and it was no wonder that he had a familiar feeling when he heard Mu Xi.
"Mu Xi, long time no see."
Seeing that Luo Wuchen recalled, Mu Xi got up excitedly and stepped forward to hug Luo Wuchen.
“…”
"I've been looking for you for so many years, Dustless."
"Mu Xi, don't get excited."
Luo Wuchen pushed Mu Xi away, and the two pulled away for a while.
"If only you were safe." Luo Wuchen had an inexplicable feeling for the girl he saved when he was a child, as if this was an indescribable fate, but this was not love.
Mu Xi obviously felt Luo Wuchen's estrangement, and she looked at Luo Wuchen with some hurt.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's fine."
"Mu Xi, are you feeling better? What is the reason today? ”
"I'm fine, I'll go back first."
Mu Xi's heart was a little confused, and he began to walk outside.
It was getting dark, Luo Wushuang and Chen Yuxi were busy embroidering, looking at a few clothes and handkerchiefs on the table, and their mood was very good.
"Yuxi, thank you so much today, I invite you to eat the hot pot downstairs in the world."
That's right, it's the hot pot downstairs in the world, Luo Wushuang gave the recipe of the hot pot base to Nangong Xingchen, which is equivalent to giving the world upstairs.
"Hot pot, okay." Chen Yuxi couldn't help but spit when he heard the hot pot. She hadn't eaten it in a long time.
"My name will be Shang Yichen in a while, he helped me today, invite him to eat, as well as the eldest brother and Xingchen."
"Mmmm, there are more people, so it tastes good."
Luo Wushuang asked people to prepare a carriage to send Chen Yuxi to the downstairs of the world first, and he went to the medical pavilion to call the eldest brother. Lei Yun drove the carriage towards the medical pavilion, and as soon as he arrived not far from the pavilion, he saw a woman in white walking in the direction of the carriage, and she looked distracted, obviously not noticing the carriage in front of her.
"Phew."
The carriage came to a halt. Mu Xi was startled, and his body shook and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Luo Wushuang lifted the curtain of the carriage and leaned out. saw Mu Xi who fell to the ground in front of him.
"You've knocked someone down."
"She doesn't dodge." Lei Yun explained aggrievedly.
Luo Wushuang got out of the carriage and walked in front of Mu Xi.
"Are you alright?"
Mu Xi looked up and saw the woman in front of him, it was her.
"I'm fine."
Luo Wushuang helped Mu Xi up, and carefully saw that the skin on her hands was broken.
"I'm sorry, your hand hurts, I'll take you to bandage it."
"No, no, minor injury."
"How can this be, there is the medical pavilion in front. Let's go, I'll send you over. ”
Luo Wushuang's attitude was firm, and Mu Xi couldn't refuse. Come to the Medical Pavilion.
"Big brother."
Luo Wuchen had already finished the consultation and sorted out the herbs on the second floor. Hearing Luo Wushuang's voice, he stopped what he was doing, and when he saw Mu Xi beside Luo Wushuang, he was puzzled. Go down to the first floor.
"Why are you here?"
"Big brother, you take some trauma medicine, this girl was accidentally injured."
Luo Wuchen had to go and get the medicine.
"Mu Xi, why are you injured?" Luo Wuchen asked.
"Mu Xi?" Luo Wushuang was puzzled, could they know each other?
"Yes, Mu Xi, she met when she was a child."
"Oh! You are the girl saved by the big brother. You've met. Big brother, why didn't you tell me? "This must be a great fate. Luo Wushuang sighed in his heart.
"I only recognized it today."
"Oh, I see."
"Mu Xi, this is my sister, Luo Wushuang."
"Wushuang."
"Mu Xi, it's so fateful today, let's go downstairs for dinner together, I'll have a treat."
"Hmm."
Soon the three of them came to the Tianxia Tower, Chen Yuxi, Fang Yichen, and Nangong Xingchen had already arrived.
The three of them took their seats, Luo Wuchen introduced everyone present, and the hot pot came up quickly.
"This is a hot pot, now it is a feature of the world, when you eat, you will soak the meat slices in the pot for a while, and then put it in the sauce and you can eat." Luo Wushuang explained to Mu Xi.
"It's pretty chic."
"It's delicious, this time we specially ordered the mandarin duck pot, I'm afraid you won't get used to it, but I suggest you can try the spicy pot, it's delicious." Chen Yuxi instigated Mu Xi to enter the pit.
"Well, I'll try it."
"It's time for a drink." Xiao Er brought peach blossom wine and put it on the table.
"How can you live without alcohol?" Fang Yichen picked up the wine and put it in Luo Wuchen and Mu Xi's bowls, and he was full.
Everyone at the table drank it one by one, and Nangong Xingchen looked at Luo Wushuang on the side with a red face, which was very cute. This girl is going to get drunk again.
The heat of the hot pot and the stamina of the peach blossom wine are not something that ordinary people can resist.
The last few people were all drunk, except for Nangong Xingchen and Luo Wuchen, everyone else was a little drunk.
"Xingchen, I'm so full." Luo Wushuang staggered and pulled Nangong Xingchen. I touched my bulging belly.
"It's getting late, Wuchen, you send Miss Chen, Fang Yichen send Mu Xi." Nangong Xingchen said.
"Hmm."
"I'm home." Chen Yuxi cheered.
Soon the group separated.
Fang Yichen helped Mu Xi and asked, "Where do you live?" ”
"I, I live far away, not here." Mu Xi was already drunk, and the whole person was in a daze.
"Guest house?" Fang Yichen was speechless, is she from the city, women are really troublesome. complained in his heart, Fang Yichen had no choice but to take her back to the Yuelai Inn and walk to the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, do you still have a guest room?"
"Oh, you're done, guest officer, there are still vacancies after this order."
Fang Yichen looked at the drunk woman, and had no choice but to take her back to his room.
Put the woman on the bed while he spends the night on the soft slump outside.
Nangong Xingchen hugged Luo Wushuang to the bed, and was about to cover the quilt, but was hugged by Luo Wushuang all of a sudden.
"Don't go, sleep with me." Luo Wushuang's soft voice carried a bit of irresistible temptation.
"You're sure."
"Hmm." Luo Wushuang held Nangong Xingchen's hand and didn't let go.
Nangong Xingchen reluctantly went to bed and slept with Luo Wushuang.
Early in the morning, Luo Wushuang opened his eyes, looked outside that it was already dawn, got up and rubbed his eyes, his head was still a little dizzy. He was about to make a sound, but he saw the hand pressing on him.
Luo Wushuang tilted her head and saw Nangong Xingchen lying on the bed, she was yesterday again...
"Stars." Luo Wushuang called softly. Seeing that he hadn't woken up yet, he was about to get out of bed but was pulled by Nangong Xingchen and forced to lie on the bed again.
"Sleep again."
"Okay."
Joy Inn.
Mu Xi woke up slowly, opened his eyes, and saw an unfamiliar environment, and his body naturally reacted vigilantly, got up and looked around.
"The vigilance is quite high." The man's magnetic voice turned, Mu Xi was shocked, and looked towards the source of the sound, only to see the man half-lying on the soft couch, with the two wolf legs cocked.
"It's you, you sent me back." Only then did Mu Xi recall yesterday's dinner.
"Looks like you've remembered, yes, it's me."
Fang Yichen looked at Mu Xi, the face that looked a little familiar with Luo Wushuang, the same face shape, and couldn't help but feel a little more good for Mu Xi.
"Thank you."
"No, but I'm curious about you." Fang Yichen's words were like a bomb, making Mu Xi vigilantly guard against Fang Yichen.
"What do you mean?" Mousse asked, puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's already dawn, and you still need me to send you."
"No, you don't."
"Well, that's good."
Mu Xi left the inn and went back directly to the dust building, and as soon as he entered, Xuanyin and Qin Se asked nervously and worriedly.
"Lord, where did you go last night, worried that we stayed up all night."
"I'm not coming back, it's okay. My matter has been settled. It's time for us to go back, too. ”
"Uh-huh, then Qin Se will go and prepare." After saying that, Qin Se went to arrange. Xuanyin looked at Mu Xi's spirit, which was obviously much better.
The carriage was prepared, Mu Xi and Qin Se Xuanyin got into the carriage together, the horse groom raised the horsewhip and began to go towards the city gate, Mu Xi lifted the curtain, looked at the dust building and the capital that was getting farther and farther away, goodbye, maybe she would never step into here again, the past was like smoke, why hold on.
