"Impossible!" Ziwei didn't say anything before me, his brows twisted into a pimple, "It's too much for you to take advantage of people's danger." ”

Mu Jinshu said indifferently: "What I said is just the attitude of our side, I can't interfere with your decision, you can refuse if you don't agree, there is no need to talk too hard, lest there will be no steps to go down if you want to agree in the future, after all, I am the only one who can help you in this place now." ”

I stopped Ziwei and said, "I don't understand why your leader would put forward such a condition, do you think that as long as we get married and hold a ceremony, we will not change our fortunes and be forever loyal to a coerced marriage?" ”

"You didn't understand the point of my words." Mu Jinshu explained: "The most urgent problem we are facing in Muzhang County is that we need new life for the survival and reproduction in the future, so it doesn't matter to us whether you stay or not, what we want is for you to leave roots for our place, that is, children." ”

The muscles on his forehead jumped, and Mu Jinshu said: "But I guess that after your child is born, if you have concern, you will not think of leaving, which undoubtedly increases the four productive forces for us, we naturally warmly welcome you, and will help you vigorously, do everything possible to save your life, so that you can live as long as possible." You don't have to worry about this, no one will get along with their own interests, we are not stupid, and the same. ”

I secretly gritted my back molars and said to her with a blank face, "Even if we have children, we won't stay?" ”

"If you can say such things, it means that you have not been a mother. The child will grow up to leave the mother, but the mother will wish that her child would remain in her arms forever, even if she knows that it is not realistic. As long as you are a normal person with feelings, you will not abandon your flesh and blood. She said, "But even if it's like you said, it doesn't matter, it's just that the benefits have been cut in half, and we still have to make money." ”

"Aren't you afraid that when we find the exit and leave, we will tell the others where you are, and let the tragedy of fifty years ago happen again?"

"Let's assume you've found the exit, but how can you be sure how long you'll live after you're gone?"

Mu Jinshu raised his eyebrows, "As I said, there is no antidote to the toxicity that enters the body, and all we can do is to extend the life of the infected indefinitely, which is different from the concept of detoxification." Muzhang County is different from the outside, stay here, you won't have anything, but as long as you take a step, you will all become dead people, the poisonous attack of the cockroach is faster than you think, it will not give you a chance to explain the location, we don't have any concerns about this. ”

"Indefinitely?"

"Just as you think, literally."

I narrowed my eyes, Mu Jinshu looked calm, "Some things are difficult for you to understand, I can't tell you half a word, in a word, we can't cure the poison, but we can stay before the poison for a long time." ”

The meaning of this is too vague, I don't understand, Ziwei has a similar expression as me, and shook his head gently.

"Miss Mu." I was on the verge of passivity, and I changed the subject and said, "You know everything about us now, and we answer every question you ask, but we still don't know anything about you, about you, as we did when we first arrived. Don't you think it's unfair? ”

Mu Jinshu laughed, "I understand, give the bottom before the negotiation, you can also ask me." ”

"I've always been curious about one question." I said, "Why do you know our language?" Who taught you? ”

The smile on Mu Jinshu's face froze, his originally casual sitting posture changed, and his tone became stiff: "This is my personal matter, and it has nothing to do with what we want to talk about, and I have the right not to give any answer." ”

"But I think it's related, if you don't make it clear, how do we know that you are unreliable, have you translated us indiscriminately?"

"I've made it clear, believe it or not is your business, and I don't need to be responsible for your trust."

Mu Jinshu said coldly, and I had to ask in other words: "Then you leave the little mute here, at least you should let us know who she is, this question can no longer be said to be me embarrassing you, in that case, we really can't talk about it." ”

This time she thought for a long time, and the little mute seemed to know that we were talking about her, and her eyes rolled more diligently.

In the end, as if he finally decided to take a gamble, Mu Jinshu exhaled and said, "She is the daughter of the leader, the future successor of Muzhang County, and our future leader." ”

The unexpected answer stunned us, and then the first question was, "How young is your chief's daughter?" ”

The appearance of the leader looks like an old man of at least eighty or ninety years old, and the little mute is definitely not more than eight years old, how can he still have children at this age?

Seeing that the two of us looked distrustful, it took a long time before turning around and saying to us: "Don't get me wrong, the meaning of 'daughter' here is different from yours. The little mute is not related to the leader, and we call each selected child the daughter of the leader, which means that she is the daughter of our Muzhang County. ”

I thought for a moment, "So, your sister is not the mother of the chief, and you are not related to her?" ”

When Mu Jinshu heard me talk about her sister, her eyes flickered subconsciously and nodded.

In this way, the relationship between them has become much simpler, and the relationship and attitude between the two are much more reasonable.

Ziwei asked, "Is there only this little child here for you?" In the dungeon, you said that all of you were there, but we didn't see this child. ”

Mu Jinshu said: "We are not the only one child, but only she was chosen, so she stopped growing. She will remain like this until she is elected leader, usually not showing her face, and will only participate in that kind of event after being elected. ”

Zi and I didn't look at each other, and we didn't quite understand, so we asked, "What kind of child will be chosen?" What does this mean exactly? ”

I'm not discriminating, it's just that the little mute looks like an ordinary child, and I don't find anything special at all, just mediocre.

Mu Jinshu was not sure about this question, and said: "Every leader will have his own standards, I can't give you a 100% standard answer if you ask me like this, my sister cared about benevolence when she was in office, but too many things happened in that session, and the tail left behind can't be dealt with until now." We have experienced too many lies over the years, so this time, the leader has only two requirements, that is, a mouth that has never told a lie and a heart that has not been polluted. The little mute has not even cried once since she was born, she was born with aphasia, and she is a child's heart, and she has not been in the world, so she is the most suitable candidate. ”

I could neither refute nor approve of her words, and there was nothing else to say.

"If you don't have any other questions, we'll make a decision, I'll give you a few days to think about it, you think about it, just call someone to ask him to come to me, I will come to you after I hear it, whether to leave or stay, you think about it yourself."

Mu Jinshu stood up and said, "The little mute is still the same for you, now that I know her identity, I also hope that you can take good care of her, if something happens to her, we will not let you go." ”

I asked, "What about our people?" When are you going to release them? ”

Mu Jinshu said: "After you get the results, we will definitely release what should be released." ”

Mu Jinshu walked to the door, thought of something again, turned back to us and said, "I will ask people to bring some clothes, medicine and food, you can rest assured, what we eat is not contaminated, and it will not promote the onset of toxicity." ”

After she left this time, someone really brought a lot of things, Ziwei drew a curtain in the room, I hastily cleaned it inside, and applied potion to the injured area. When he came out, Ziwei had already changed his clothes and was giving Tang Jiao medicine.

"How is he?" I sat down, and the food on the table was the same as the ones I had seen in the dungeon, almost boiled vegetable leaves, with some strange sauce, chewing on the smell of earth mixed with grass juice, so thick that it made my stomach pantothenic, but the little mute ate happily in the distance on the other side.

Ziwei finished washing his hands and sat down in front of me, saying, "The fever has subsided, my heart beat and breathing are very stable, it seems that there is no danger to my life, I don't know when I will wake up." ”

"Master." He looked up at me, "Will you promise Mu Jinshu to marry their warrior?" ”

I was stunned and smiled at the way he looked, "I also want to ask if you want to marry their girl." ”

"Of course I don't want to." Ziwei replied hurriedly, his tone anxious.

I fiddled with the tableware in my hand, it was rare to see him have such a vivid expression, I laughed, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's beautiful, you're not young, it's a matter of time before you talk about marriage, if you are moved, it's okay to marry." ”

He furrowed his brow, "I won't marry." ”

I smiled and didn't speak, Ziwei's eyes were very firm, full of rejection, "I won't be tempted, and I won't marry a girl here." ”

"And where do you want?"

"I want to ......," he said, and when he realized that something was wrong, he hurriedly changed his words: "I don't want to marry a wife at all, and I don't want anything anywhere." ”

When he saw that I was laughing playfully, he came back to his senses and realized that I was joking with him, so he looked away and said, "Master, don't make fun of me, it's not funny at all." ”

I let out a long hum, thought for a long time, and said, "It's not that we can't agree to this matter, but our current situation is too passive, and we have to find a way to get back the initiative." ”

Ziwei didn't speak, I said: "Let's wait a while, adjust our energy, and in a few days I will ask someone to find Mu Jinshu and give her an answer she wants, and then you don't have to say anything, just cooperate with me." ”

Ziwei looked at me for a few seconds, trusted me unconditionally, and nodded.

We stayed in the hut for many days, during which time Tang Jiao woke up and fell asleep intermittently, and we didn't even have a chance to explain the situation to him. When the patience of both sides was almost consumed, I felt that I had made up enough, and I felt a lot more comfortable, stretched, opened the door, and grabbed someone casually and asked him to find Mu Jinshu.

Mu Jinshu came much faster than I thought, and the two sides sat down at the same table again, and I said bluntly: "We agree to the request made by the chief, but we also have one condition on our side. ”

"What?"

"Who I want to marry, and who my friend wants to marry, we have to choose for ourselves."

"Yes." Mu Jinshu looked indifferent, "We didn't plan to appoint anyone. ”

I said, "You don't think about it, but we want to appoint someone." ”

She raised her eyebrows, and I said, "I hope Miss Mu can marry my friend Tang Jia and be his wife." ”
