Chapter 11: Su Wu
"Is it coming so soon?"
Lin Mu was puzzled. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He laid those little traps that would be touched when someone approached the place. There are some movements, which can give him early warning. And he kept an eye on the movement outside, even if he was doing other things, he didn't relax for a moment. But the man came silently. And it's still night?
Could it be that a powerful martial artist came? Only a mysterious and powerful martial artist could evade his own small traps that were as dense as a needle carpet and came silently.
But if you think about it on your toes, you know it's impossible. It is not difficult for a warrior to avoid small traps, but it is not easy to dodge the gray fog at night.
It's impossible for a martial artist to venture here for a few gold coins. And unless the Bai family stole some rare and precious elixir used by martial artists or above, they would not stupidly send martial disciples over to take risks. In the face of the evil fog here, there is not much difference between martial artists and ordinary people. Especially at night when it is difficult to distinguish the gray fog.
And those stolen elixirs are really precious to the extent of dispatching martial artists, so with the power gap between Lin Mu's strength and the Bai family. When the Bai family found out that they had lost something, it began to be counted, and within three moments, Lin Mu's head was estimated to have been placed on the Bai family's precept platform!
In an instant, Lin Mu flashed through all kinds of possibilities. and the conclusions were drawn.
The one who came was either a martial artist who had lost his heart and "passed by" in the middle of the night and was so lucky that he couldn't do it. Either it's someone who lives not far from here. For example, the 'neighbor' Su Wu!
However, no matter who it is, a visit in this situation usually only comes down to the bad person who came.
Lin Mu's eyes flashed with a strange light. The dagger was pulled from his waist and held it in his hand. The dagger you hold in this way can be as fast and surprisingly unexpected as possible!
Sure enough, after the figure gradually approached, Lin Mu recognized that it was the person next door, who called himself Su Wu.
In the dim light, the other party's face seemed to be even weaker and paler. His eyes were also bloodshot and blood-red, and eighty percent of them were hungry. But Lin Mu still didn't mean to relax the dagger.
This man must have fled as well. After all, how many people would drill into here, and they would be so hungry that their faces turned pale? It's not a good thing to be wanted and forced here.
"Except, of course, on my own. ”
Lin Mu added with a good feeling in his heart.
"What are you doing here?"
After all, it was his own territory, Lin Mu asked out loud first.
"Do you have anything to eat?"
Su Wu didn't answer Lin Mu's question directly, and asked Lin Mu another question in an emotionless voice. Of course, the two are actually related. But it's a matter of attitude.
Lin Mu felt that although this attitude was not very bad, it was not very good.
"Is this asking for food?"
"Yes"
Su Wu returned very peacefully, and did not have any intention of-for-tat.
There is a difference between wanting and wanting to have the same pronunciation. One understanding is passive begging and the other is active commanding. Attitudes are naturally different.
However, both of them only understood one aspect. Lin Mu felt that the other party was passive and pitiful, and Su Wu should feel that he was active and self-respecting. So the contradiction has not been deepened.
But even if I think this kid is a little pitiful. Lin Mu didn't plan to worship him again. After all, he is also poor.
"I don't have anything to eat!"
Lin Mu said coldly.
"Oh. ”
Su Wu, who was rejected, responded. Didn't say anything more. Anyway, the thing is not your own, so you can't grab it. The simple Q&A didn't cause any conflict.
Seeing the other party, he didn't mean anything else, so Lin Mu also put away the dagger.
But not long ago. Lin Mu was impatient and a little angry.
Because although Su Wu didn't say anything more. But this guy didn't leave, and was staring at Lin Mu. No one will feel good.
"What do you want to do?"
"Do you have anything to eat?"
"I don't have anything to eat here! what the hell do you want?"
Lin Mu solemnly emphasized it again. However, the effect is not ideal, and the other party's ears are obviously problematic. Because it seems that he will only repeat one sentence:
"Do you have anything to eat?"
"I said no, and I won't give it to you!"
"Oh!"
After a long while, Su Wu still didn't mean to move his ass.
"What are you doing here?"
Lin Mu almost roared angrily, but this Su Wu still had a cold face. Spit out that sentence without expression.
"Do you have anything to eat?"
Although it was not very accurate, Su Wu's every sentence could be regarded as an answer to Lin Mu's words. But with the same sentence, the effect is different.
And this time, Lin Mu almost collapsed and slapped his forehead, turned around and prepared to build a fire. He felt that he had met a scoundrel and that the best way to deal with the scoundrel was to choose to ignore it. So Lin Mu chose to build a fire to divert his attention.
Soon the fire was lit, and the flame made a "crackling" explosion of the dried wood. Each explosion brings flames to the ground and shoots out sparks. The white faces of the two were reddened. No one seems to pay attention to anyone. Watch the flames beat.
Lin Mu didn't think about running him out directly. It's just that there are some scruples about the strength of the other party. Judging by yesterday's brief conflict. Su Wu's strength is not half a star stronger than himself. I'm afraid I can't beat him.
Presumably he will go back later. Lin Mu decided to spend it with him.
"Gurgling ......"
However, less than a quarter of an hour after this decision, Lin Mu's stomach first screamed out unhappily. In this quiet night, it is extraordinarily clear.
The hand unconsciously reaches for his dry food. But after touching the gaze of the side looking at him, he couldn't help but retract his hand again.
After thinking about it for a while, I seemed to feel that this was a bit weak, and it was very shameless. Eating your own things depends on people's faces. If you don't give, you don't give.
So quickly remove half a piece of dry bread. I didn't even look at it, and Su Wu took a bite.
"Gollum"
Another loud hunger agitation. But not their own. Lin Mu looked at it. found that Su Wu was still looking at him with a seemingly calm and clear gaze. There is no begging, and there is no desire for obvious craving. Somewhat lukewarm. It's like calmly saying, 'I'm hungry.'" Even the embarrassing sound from his stomach didn't make him change color in any way. No waves.
This reminded Lin Mu of a gray wolf that he once raised in the grassland. That's what he pulled out of the wolf's den. During that time, I happened to have enough food. Seems to have gotten a freshly dead bison.
So Lin Mu raised it. Instead of choosing to eat. Maybe it was the idea of raising a little more and then eating it. But that's when it was fed.
And when the cow was eaten by a wolf alone. Whenever I break off a little bit of homemade beef jerky and eat it very sparingly. The little bad wolf looked at himself almost like that. Lin Mu was always unable to defeat it, so he gave the next part to the little wolf.
Maybe that time was the first time Lin Mu experienced the taste of not being lonely. It's not very nice. But it's not bad.
At the end of the story, the wolf is not eaten. And like many beautiful stories, in the process of getting along, the man and the wolf also established a kind of extremely loyal relationship, and went through a difficult period together.
But a wolf is a wolf after all, and a man is a man after all. Wolves need to return to the pack, and people need to return to the crowd. Grasslands and snowy areas are two different living environments. That's a natural barrier......
Memories of the past are generally good. When memories are evoked, emotions are often evoked. But this time it made Lin Mu feel a little awkward. After all, this look is human......
Lin Mu avoided Su Wu's similar eyes, wanted to pretend not to see it, and continued to eat his "dinner".
However, what made Lin Mu feel helpless was that even if he didn't look at it, he still felt that there were a pair of eyes looking at him. This made me eat a little uncomfortable.
In the end, Lin Mu couldn't help but get used to it, took out one of the few remaining dry cakes, and threw it to Su Wu. Su Wu's silent and handsome face rarely showed a slight smile. Then he picked up a piece of dry cake and chewed it heavily.
This is a dry, thick, hard cake that chews like a wood. It's hard to swallow, but it's extremely cheap and perfect for filling your stomach.
And no matter who is used to eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, eating this cake in the case of extreme hunger will be like eating a peerless rarity. Just like Su Wu now. I guess this is the best thing he has ever eaten in his life. Well, I had a meal the day before yesterday......
"Ahem......"
However, its coarse nature does not change because you find it delicious. Su Wu, who had taken a few bites, was still choked. He coughed twice, took out the animal skin kettle from his waist and poured two sips.
"Wine?"
Smelling the smell, Lin Mu couldn't help but ask. His biggest regret was that he didn't have enough time to bring some drinks. As a result, he can only replenish his water with cold snow blocks. That's not a pleasant thing to do.
Su Wu didn't say anything, took a bite and twisted the spout. Threw the kettle over. This kind of generosity made Lin Mu's face blush slightly. The dislike for the other person is mostly less.
When I took the kettle, I was greeted by a thick and enticing aroma of wine. With a hint of medicine. It's medicinal wine! It really made Lin Mu's stomach move.
Twisted open the lid of the pot that Su Wu had just tightened, and took a big sip directly. Cool medicinal wine into the throat. Immediately, it burned like a fire in my heart. In a few moments, the whole body will be burned. The cold on his body was timid. This is a difference that cannot be said in words compared to swallowing snow with a green face.
"Good wine!"
Lin Mu couldn't help but praise. It is also a good wine. It's not just a comparison with the taste of swallowing snow cubes. And there is an objective judgment.
Lin Mu had been hanging out with a few guards since he entered the Bai family and had drunk a lot of wine. Although it is basically the best water wine on the market. But after drinking it for a long time, I drank it to the point where I could drink it good or bad.
This wine is not only strong, but also smooth. The aroma is mellow. There is also a faint smell of medicinal effects. At least Lin Mu had ever drunk the best wine. The value is not low.
Lin Mu's face was already slightly red. The eighth floor is for drinking. The other two floors are unknown.
Su Wu smiled rarely, took the wine jug and poured a big sip of it. His face flushed, too. He handed the wine to Lin Mu again. Lin Mu was naturally not to be outdone. Big gulp.
Of course, his heart at this time is by no means fighting with the other party. It's about drinking an extra sip to earn a sip!
In this way, he nibbled on the worst dry cakes and drank the best wine. The two of them are also full of wine and food.
After drinking, generally except for a few stuffy gourds that are stuffy at home, most of them will not become chatter and become talkative, think about it, are those drunk people no one will also talk to themselves?
The two of them are naturally not stuffy at home. As early as after the second bite, the two chatted.
Although the two of them didn't speak very enthusiastically at first, their tones were a little cold and brief. But there are also questions and answers. We all know each other a little.
