"Moon Old Tree?"

Qu Youying tilted her head slightly, scratched her cheek with her fingers, and said while thinking, "I have approached the Yuelao Tree up close, but I haven't noticed that its bark is red!" And there was no smell of blood there. If it is really irrigated with blood, then the taste is essential. ”

In this regard, she is very confident.

Mu Jingzhu didn't directly contradict her, but asked, "Then why do you think that kind of tree is familiar?" ”

"It should ...... Where did you see it? ”

Qu Youying herself was not sure, she only felt that her face was itchy, and her fingers deducted all the dirt from the coat.

At that time, the shopkeeper knocked on the door, "Two of you, you have brought hot water and food." ”

Mu Jingzhu got up and went to open the door, let his things in, and go out again.

He closed the door, walked to the basin shelf, soaked it with a hand towel, then wrung it half dry, walked to Qu Youying's side, grabbed her chin with one hand, and wiped the mud and juice off her face with the other.

He is very attentive, his movements are gentle, and he is so comfortable that you will forget the itching sensation on your face.

Qu Youying just looked at him straightly, looking at the softness of his eyes, which was a soft color hidden by black, and now it flowed in the black river and became clearly visible.

"Jing Candle, why are you always so good to me?"

Mu Jingzhu looked at her with a slightly red face condescendingly, her eyes moved slightly, and there was a hint of cunning.

He chuckled, "That's because I want to bully you better." ”

"Perverted!"

Qu Youying still wanted to hear him say something tender, but she didn't expect the final reason to be because she wanted to bully her!

She pouted, slapped his hand away, and took a towel to wash her face.

"Ahh After washing her face, she went to look in the mirror and found that her face was red and white, "Why did my face look like this?" ”

"It's strange to paint your face with clay and not get red." Mu Jingzhu stood behind her, put his big hand on her head, lowered his body slightly, and said, "No one can recognize you this ugly." ”

"You!" Qu Youying wanted to scold him, but her mind suddenly reacted, "You did it on purpose, right?" You know that I have different degrees of allergies to unclean things. But when you see me disguised with the juice of the earth, you don't stop me, knowing that my face will be red and swollen, so that no one will recognize me. ”

There are no disguised tools here, so if they want to disguise, they need to resort to something else.

At that time, Qu Youying just wanted to do some basic disguises to reduce the possibility of being recognized.

But she didn't expect that Mu Jingzhu thought much more than her.

"It's not stupid." Mu Jingzhu poked her cheek and smiled casually, "That way, even if I'm not by your side, no one will know who you are." ”

"Not with me?" Qu Youying grasped the point of his words, turned around, and grabbed his clothes, "Where are you going?" ”

Mu Jingzhu is different from her, he is out and about all the year round, and he is not as sensitive to many things as she is.

Now that the disguise on his face has been washed away, if there is really someone with a different heart in Baixiang Village, then it must be easy to target him.

The other party has been hiding in the dark for a long time, and if he wants to start, it will inevitably be difficult to guard.

"I won't let you leave me." Qu Youying was anxious that he was silent, hugged his waist hard, and leaned his head on his chest, "Jing Candle, you are not allowed to act alone, it's too dangerous." Not really, you know? ”

"Okay, I promise you, I won't go, and I won't leave you." Mu Jingzhu patted her head helplessly, and said softly, "You eat something first, and then we will go around the Yuelao Tree to see the situation." ”

"Okay."

With his assurance, Qu Youying felt a little more relieved, pulled him to sit at the table, and ate.

They hadn't eaten since they went out yesterday, and the food was a little rougher, but it was still delicious.

After the meal, Mu Jingzhu took her and found an excuse to go around the street.

There are not many villagers in Baixiang Village, but there are also a lot, and there are many people on the street in broad daylight.

There are also a dazzling array of goods, some small things, not even Xiangling Town.

Qu Youying looked at it curiously, a little moved in her heart, she wanted to buy it, but she didn't have the money.

But she knew that Mu Jingzhu was rich.

So she stopped in front of a small stall and said in a coquettish voice, "Xianggong, look how cute this little tree is!" Can you buy it for me? ”

Mu Jingzhu has never liked this kind of gadget, every time there is a market in Xiangling Town, he belongs to the kind of person who walks from the street to the end of the street and stops step by step.

Naturally, I don't know which stalls sell which gadgets.

At this moment, he was pulled by Qu Youying, he was obviously a little reluctant, but he still stopped.

"Xianggong, I want to buy this."

Qu Youying picked up the lifelike moon tree carved by carpentry and put it in front of him.

Mu Jingzhu stared at the thing with a slight expression, and his heart was clear.

Qu Youying was still coquettish, "Look at this, it's red, how beautiful." Can you buy it for me? ”

The owner of the stall looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "The two of them looked at the noodles, they are passing by foreigners, right?" ”

Qu Youying nodded, "Yes, we are going to Xiangling Town, passing by here." ”

"So that's the case, then it's even more necessary to leave with something memorable!"

"Monumental?"

Qu Youying blinked her eyes wide, indicating that she didn't understand.

The boss smiled and took out a red wood carved out of the old tree, said, "This is carved according to the most famous old tree in our Baixiang Village, the thing is not expensive, but the meaning is precious, representing the love between men and women is complete, but also bless the feelings of husband and wife, a hundred years of good together." Childe, if your lady likes it, buy one! ”

Mu Jingzhu listened to every word of the boss in his ears, but there was still some reluctance on his face.

He said, "I've heard about the old moon tree in your village, but why is the tree red?" It looks like blood, my wife is pregnant, and I am afraid of bad luck. ”

Many of the carved knick-knacks placed on the boss's stall are all the primary colors of wood, and only a few things are painted in some colors, and they are still far from their original appearance.

But trees shouldn't be red.

There are several carved moon-old trees on his stall, all of which are red.

And the color was as dark as blood.

"How can it be unlucky? This red symbolizes marriage, so it is called the moon tree! ”

Mu Jingzhu frowned slightly, Qu Youying saw this, and pouted unhappily, "Xianggong, if you don't buy it, don't you like me anymore?" Even a small handicraft was stingy to buy it for me! ”

The more she talked, the more aggrieved she became, and finally lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

"What's the matter, I'll buy it, I'll buy it for you now, let's buy it all, okay?" Mu Jingzhu immediately panicked, immediately took out the silver and handed it to the boss, and put the old moon tree in front of her, coaxing, "Don't be angry, be careful of being angry, I will be distressed." ”

Although Qu Youying knew that he was acting with her, this was the first time Mu Jingzhu had coaxed her like this in front of outsiders!

This feeling is like defeating an unprecedented enemy and standing proudly at the pinnacle of life.

Qu Youying's heart is full of joy.

She held the old moon tree, raised her chin, pursed her mouth, and said arrogantly, "You usually don't whisper like this, you must be insincere." Say, did you really do something behind my back? ”

"Lady, you really misunderstood. Isn't it clear to me about your heart? ”

Mu Jingzhu squinted, and in the narrow gap, there was obviously a hint of "you try it again".

Qu Youying was obviously a little stunned when she saw it, so when she came to her mouth, she stopped it in time, and only said dryly, "Then it depends on your performance!" ”

She was satisfied with the handiwork of the old moon tree and was about to leave, but Mu Jingzhu suddenly grabbed her arm, dragged the person back, and kissed her delicate lips when she lowered her head.

His move was too natural, so natural that Qu Youying reacted for a while, and she was kissed by Mu Jingzhu in public!

Although he always eats her tofu, he has never been seen again.

So should he be really angry about his actions today?

When Qu Youying was dumbfounded, Mu Jingzhu had already let go of her, rubbing her hair with her head down, and smiling impeccably.

"You're not angry now, are you? Let's go ahead again. ”

He smiled, took her hand, and hooked her shoulder with one hand, looking very affectionate.

After walking for a long time, Qu Youying completely woke up from the confusion from Mu Jingzhu and punched him.

"You kiss me again, and you are still so open."

Mu Jingzhu grabbed her little hand, put it to her lips and kissed it again, before saying, "It's not the chance you gave me." Aren't you angry now? ”

Qu Youying's face turned red again in an instant, so why was she still angry? But she always felt that Mu Jingzhu suddenly did this, not to cooperate and not make her angry.

Because he wanted her not to be angry, he had a lot of options.

"Isn't it that the people who are following us have already chased-"

"Recently, I kissed you, and you didn't get angry, are you completely used to it?"

Mu Jingzhu interrupted her words, which made Qu Youying more sure that the person chasing them on the street just now must be there.

She had no choice but to cooperate, "Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water!" After coming a few more times, I was numb. ”

She said so arrogantly that she stopped without seeing the spark in someone's eye.

"Xianggong, look, it's the old moon!" She raised the handicrafts in her hand, put them together in front of the old tree, and said happily, "Wow, it's really exactly the same!" ”

There happened to be an aunt passing by them, and when she heard this, she said, "Of course, the Yuelao Tree is the sacred tree of our village, and it blesses the safety of the village, so those villagers who can do it by hand will carve the handicrafts of the Yuelao Tree, even if they are placed at home to watch, it is also a kind of protection!" ”

"Is this true? Then I'm going to have to put it in place. Qu Youying smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, auntie, we want to pray, I don't know where to go to ask for something hanging on the tree?" ”

The only way to get close to the old tree is to pray.

So Qu Youying asked, coupled with the actions of the two on the street just now, the villagers who saw it knew that they were a loving little couple, and they didn't have any suspicions.

The aunt pointed to a small stall in front of her and said, "Go there." You are husband and wife, that heart-shaped wooden sign, write your names, make a wish in front of the old tree, and then hang it up. As long as you are sincere, you will definitely make your wishes come true. ”

"It's really great, thank you, auntie."

Qu Youying listened happily and pulled the wooden candle and went to the stall to buy a wooden sign.

She had a pen in one hand and a wooden sign in the other, but she didn't know what to write a name.

Seeing this, Mu Jingzhu took the pen and wooden card in her hand, wrote two names on it very chicly, and then took it and went to the old tree.

Qu Youying didn't see what he wrote, so she was very curious and wanted to understand.

But how fast the wooden candle was, it had already been hung up before she wanted to see it.

"What are you doing hanging so fast? What exactly did you write on it? ”

He hung too high, and she could only hold his hands and look up on her tiptoes.

Mu Jingzhu stood still, waited and waited before asking, "What do you see?" ”

"See."

Qu Youying stood up straight, her eyes looking at the tree trunk in front of her, the smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a rare serious expression.

Word by word, beside Mu Jingzhu, she whispered, "This bark is fake." ”
