Chapter 5: Meet Again
Hearing Mu Chuning say this, Mu Chumeng could only withdraw her emotions for the time being. Mu Chumeng, who has always had the habit of taking a nap, was a little sleepy at this time. Thinking about coming over is also to tell my sister about what she wants to learn martial arts, if my sister agrees, I will discuss with my sister how to tell my father and mother, since my sister said that she will talk about it when she goes home, there is no need to continue talking now. "Sister, since that's the case, Meng'er will go back to the room to rest first." As he spoke, he got up and looked at Mu Chuning.
Mu Chuning nodded, watching Mu Chumeng leave the room, her eyes full of worry. I need to think about how to solve this matter. Thinking that at this time, my father should go to the presiding officer of the temple to play chess, and my mother may still be in the room ready to rest. Thinking about it, it would be more appropriate to go back to the house and talk about it, but if you want to suddenly say this here, my father and mother are afraid that it will not be possible to agree for a while, so I still need to mediate slowly.
In the afternoon, Mu Chuning went to Song Lian's to learn acupuncture. As usual, after Song Lian finished talking about the amount of knowledge he was going to talk about, he also demonstrated the acupuncture method, then walked to the bookcase and took out a stack of books and handed them to Mu Chuning, asking her to go back and study hard. This farewell, the master and apprentice are afraid that it will take a long time before they can meet, although Song Lian's book to Mu Chuning can let her read it for a long time, but Mu Chuning is still a little reluctant in her heart.
The master and apprentice talked for a while, and then Mu Chuning said goodbye to Song Lian and walked slowly to the room. I'm going to leave for home tomorrow, so I'm going back to pack my things first.
This time, Song Lian gave Mu Chuning more books than usual, although Xizhu had already taken two-thirds, but one-third of Mu Chuning's books were relatively thicker, and he had to be careful not to let them fall when he walked. "Miss, why don't you give some more to the slaves?" Xizhu looked at Mu Chuning's frowns, and said with a cautious look. "It's okay, I can do it." Mu Chuning said with some difficulty. These books are really thick, so she has a lot of effort to hold, but when she thinks of Xizhu, she has a lot of them, so she thinks about enduring this journey.
There is a downhill staircase in front of it, and after this staircase, you can reach Mu Chuning's room. "Miss, we'll be there after holding on!" Xizhu couldn't help but shout at Mu Chuning with some excitement. Mu Chuning looked at Xizhu and smiled, thinking: There are downhill steps ahead, so you have to be more careful. Mu Chuning took a very cautious step, but she didn't want to, and the soles of her feet didn't steady, and the whole person suddenly fell forward. Mu Chuning's heart was shocked, and before she could react, a scream of Xizhu sounded in her ears.
I thought I was going to be thrown and my face was blurred, so I closed my eyes tightly and waited for the pain I was about to face. Suddenly, a strong resistance pulled Mu Chuning and pulled her back, and Mu Chuning leaned on a strong arm bend. Feeling that strong force, Mu Chuning was still in a state where she was about to fall just now and didn't react, staring blankly at the familiar face in front of her.
The man saw Mu Chuning's sluggish appearance and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you haven't seen me for a few days and don't know me?" Mu Chuning's eyelids moved slightly, and after reacting, she quickly got up and stood up. It's you? Mu Chuning looked at the man who was smiling at her. Familiar face, only this time he was not dressed in black like last time, but in dark blue civilian clothes, this is not who else is the person named Mo Huai.
"Looks like I recognize it." Mo Huai retracted the posture he had just held Mu Chuning and said. Instead, he glanced at the book that had been scattered all over the ground, and silently walked over to pick it up.
"Miss, are you alright?" Xizhu ran over in a panic with the book, unable to spare his hand, and could only use his eyes to eagerly check whether Mu Chuning was hurt up and down.
"I'm fine." As soon as she finished responding, Mu Chuning thought that Mo Huai had just pulled herself, which could be regarded as saving herself, so she should thank her.
"Thank you just a lot." Mu Chuning opened her mouth a little embarrassed, but she didn't notice that Mo Huai next to her picked up a book and looked at it with a complicated expression.
Seeing that Mo Huai didn't respond to him for a long time, Mu Chuning turned his head to look at Mo Huai, and saw that he was staring at the book Song Lian gave him without moving, and walked towards Mo Huai a little strangely.
"What's wrong with this book?" Mu Chuning was a little puzzled. "No ......" Mo Huai was asked by Mu Chuning, and then retracted the look just now, just now he saw this book very familiarly, and unconsciously began to wonder where he had seen it.
"Where did you buy this book?"
"This was given to me by someone else." Mu Chuning saw that there was no problem with the book, so he turned around and went to pick up the other books that had fallen.
Mo Huai didn't ask any more, and handed the book in his hand to Mu Chuning.
"I'm curious how you ended up here by such coincidence?" Mu Chuning watched Mo Huai fold the books on top of the few books he was holding and said.
"Searching for someone."
"Who?"
Mo Huai withdrew the hand that had just put the book and stiffened, and glanced at the bamboo next to him. "I'm not sure if the guy is here, but I'm just trying to find it." Mo Huai approached Mu Chuning and whispered.
Being suddenly approached by Mo Huai, Mu Chuning was a little embarrassed, but she could feel the loss in Mo Huai's tone.
"That man must be very important to you." Mu Chuning also whispered, although she didn't know why Mo Huai lowered her voice to talk to her. Is it because Xizhu is next to it? Mu Chuning thought to herself.
"Hmm." Mo Huai nodded, and his gaze moved to the medical book in Mu Chuning's hand. "Do you know how to heal?"
"I understand a little bit, but I still need to continue to learn." Mu Chuning said, suddenly remembering the sudden recurrence of the Gu poison on Mo Huai's body before. "Has your condition stabilized?"
Mo Huai was slightly flustered, and then thought of the scene of that day, it turned out that this girl was asking about the Gu poison in her body. "It's stable for the time being." After thinking about it, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, "Are you concerned about me?" ”
Being asked by Mo Huai like this, Mu Chuning didn't know what to say for a while, her words did mean to care, but why did she always feel that there was something in this person's words?
"I saved you that day, so let's know if you're okay." Mu Chuning still avoided Mo Huai's meaning.
Seeing Mu Chuning's generous statement, Mo Huai couldn't help but feel that Mu Chuning was very different from ordinary women. If it is an ordinary woman, I am afraid that when I hear this, I am afraid that my face is already full of shyness, and I can't speak. But Mu Chuning answered herself generously, and there was no feeling of discomfort.
"That's really thanks to Miss Mu's concern, there are still important things to do next, farewell." After Mo Huai finished speaking, he smiled at Mu Chuning, and without waiting for Mu Chuning's reaction, he jumped into the bamboo forest and disappeared into the bamboo forest like that day.
Only the master and servant stared blankly in the direction where Mo Huai disappeared, and it took a while to react. "This man is really strange." Mu Chuning muttered.
"Miss, when did you meet that son?" Xizhu walked up to Mu Chuning with a stack of books in his hand and asked, his eyes still staying in the bamboo forest where Mo Huai disappeared.
"Let's take the book back first, my hands hurt a little after taking it for so long" Mu Chuning didn't want to answer Xizhu, raised her feet and walked quickly to the room.
And Xizhu saw that his young lady didn't mean to tell him, so he could only follow Mu Chuning's footsteps quickly with a puzzled face.
After Mu Chuning returned to the room and put the book in his hand on the table, she sat down on the chair weakly and shook her wrist gently. Xizhu came over and saw it, and couldn't help but be a little worried: "Miss, but your hand hurts?" ”
"No, it's just a little sour, and I'll be fine in a while." Mu Chuning said and smiled happily at Xizhu, although it was a little painful, but this level would be fine after a while.
After resting for a while, Mu Chuning asked Xizhu to pack up these books, and try not to let her father and mother find anything when she leaves tomorrow.
Just as Xizhu had just wrapped up the books, there was a sudden knock on the door. Mu Chuning was startled by the sudden knock on the door and got up from the chair and looked at Xizhu, who was also stunned.
"Lemon, are you there? It's a mother. ”
It turned out to be Yun's. Mu Chuning hurriedly motioned for Xizhu to hide the book, and he went to open the door first.
"Mother, why are you here?" Mu Chuning tried her best to hide her weakness, but she still let the Yun family discover the strangeness.
"Why is Ning'er's expression so flustered, but what happened?" When Yun saw Mu Chuning open the door, he felt that her expression was wrong, thinking that something had happened.
"No, I just went out for a while, and I'm just a little tired." Mu Chuning was still a little weak in her heart, after all, she lied.
"It's okay, my mother will come to see you, and by the way, I'll come and tell you don't forget that we're going to leave home tomorrow."
"I see, mother." Yun looked at Mu Chuning, his eyes were full of tenderness. And Mu Chuning unintuitively took Yun's hand and leaned on Yun's shoulder.
"Mother, it seems that Ling'er hasn't leaned on her mother's shoulder like this for a long time to speak." Mu Chuning's tone was full of coquettishness, and the Yun family was also doting on Mu Chuning with his other hand.
"Yes, I remember when you were a child, you liked to drill into your mother's arms, sticky and tight." Yun thought that Mu Chuning used to like to lean into his arms and whisper to himself, but now that he has grown up, and he is busy helping Mu Chengtian take care of the trivial affairs of the shop on weekdays, he rarely has time to spend alone with Mu Chuning.
"Because when I was a child, I felt that my mother had a taste that could make Ling'er feel at ease." Mu Chuning said and closed her eyes and leaned into Yun's arms, enjoying this short time of mother and daughter alone.
Xizhu had already left the room with interest, and quietly closed the door so that the mother and daughter could talk quietly for a while.
