Chapter 120: Accident (Good-looking Second Update)
Xue Mu always felt that if he wanted to choose the Wave Dragon Claw Player, he must choose the right person.
Like Nangong Xue, it must be very right.
But just when he was thinking so, Nangong Xue suddenly slapped him.
Thanks to his quick reaction, otherwise, he might have to eat a big pocket.
I saw Xue Mu bending down and said in surprise: "My lord, what are you going to do?" β
Nangong Xue slapped his hand hard, and glared angrily: "What are you doing with your hands?!" β
Xue Mu pretended to be innocent and said: "My lord, I can't see it, so this distance and position are not appropriate, did I touch Ling's neck just now?" β
Nangong Xue saw that he didn't seem to know that he had touched his chest, so she had no choice but to say helplessly: "Yes!" You give me the mud, I'll make it myself! β
"I'm sorry, Lord Nangong, you have to be considerate of me, I can't see it after all." Xue Mu said with a smile.
As he spoke, he poured all the dirt on Nangong Xue's hands.
Xue Mu stood aside and opened his gaze.
At this time, he could clearly see that Nangong Xue in the thermal image was wiping his neck with his hand.
I have to say, this pose is also sexy.
Nangong Xue noticed that Xue Mu had been looking at her at this time.
She didn't care.
After all, he couldn't see and didn't know what he was doing.
After sorting out everything, Nangong Xue said to Xue Mu: "Okay, let's go." β
"Hmm."
The two walked side by side, towards the group of victims outside the city.
As the sun sets, a narrow dirt road is crowded with a group of homeless people in shabby clothes, carrying all the belongings they can carry, leaving endless sadness and helplessness on their faces.
Nangong Xue looked over and found that some weak old men and women were squeezed aside, and there was no place to rest, so they could only curl up in the dirt.
They muttered something in their mouths, facing the sky, looking at the dusk, as if telling their sorrows.
Some mothers hugged their exhausted children tightly, hoping that today's officials would come to give soup porridge earlier.
Their faces were full of vicissitudes, and the remaining traces of exhaustion and despair continued to drain away with the wind.
The cold wind invaded their thin bodies, and the faint lights were like helpless meteors shining in the sky.
In this land, there is no trace of warmth to hold them in the cold wind, and there is no place to take them in.
They are like the leftovers of the world, constantly haunting various places.
Relying on firm belief and unknown hope, we marched step by step, and finally gathered outside the gate of the capital.
These river-like outcasts all have a similar fate, they are pawns of fate, exiles from this world.
Looking at this scene, Nangong Xue's eyes gradually moistened.
"Mingming. Obviously there weren't that many people before"
Xue Mu listened and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"There are ten times more people outside the city than I saw three months ago." Nangong Xue was extremely surprised.
Xue Mu replied: "It is too difficult to prove that this world wants to survive, and there may be natural disasters somewhere." β
"Let's move on."
"Okay."
Soon they came to the so-called homeless crowd.
They all have yellow faces and thin muscles.
Unkempt.
It looks like he hasn't eaten a full day.
Some of the children were lying in their mother's arms with pus on their heads, and they looked very uncomfortable.
Nangong Xue looked at these scenes and told Xue Mu little by little.
But she saw that Xue Mu didn't seem to have too many emotional changes, but she also felt normal, after all, he couldn't see it.
But unexpectedly, Xue Mu said: "Actually, I had already guessed that it was such a scene before I came. β
"How do you know? Have you ever been outside the city? Nangong Xue asked.
Xue Mu shook his head: "No, but I know what kind of scene it is, those victims are dressed in tatters, they have nothing to eat, some of their hands are black, and the soil on the side is slippery, but they will eat all colored plants, if the officials in the city don't give porridge in the past two days, it is estimated that there will be cannibalism." β
"What cannibalism?" Nangong Xue asked.
Xue Mu saw that she hadn't heard it, so he explained: "It means that the parents of both sides are reluctant to eat their own children, so they exchange them to eat." β
As soon as these words came out, Nangong Xue almost vomited.
It took a while to recover.
It was this move that provoked many homeless people to look at them.
Seeing this, Nangong Xue was worried that she would be exposed, so she pulled Xue Mu to a corner and sat down.
After she sat down, she looked at Xue Mu on the side and said, "What you said is true?" β
"Of course." Xue Mu replied.
Hearing this, Nangong Xue's mood became even more complicated.
Looking at the homeless victims in front of her, she didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, Xue Mu comforted: "Lord Nangong, I know what you are thinking now. β
"What am I thinking? Don't think you know me. Nangong Xue pretended to be strong.
"Are you wondering what you have to do to save them?" Xue Mu explained.
Nangong Xue didn't speak.
"But you and I both know that the people who can really save them are the people who live in the imperial city, and we people are soft-spoken and useless." Xue Mu persuaded.
But Nangong Xue said at this time: "Then you must do your best to protect the people who should be protected." β
Hearing this, Xue Mu smiled with satisfaction.
I have to say.
Although his top boss sometimes has a temper that bursts.
But the heart is kind.
It's a pity.
Daqing this situation.
Only the emperor of the dynasty can do it.
As for him.
Forget it.
It's better to fight, flirt with girls, and improve your strength.
Now he is working so hard to be a homeless here, just to solve the case in front of him, and then he will sit in the position of 100 households.
As long as he becomes a commander, maybe he will be able to taste the cold freshness at that time.
Then slowly climb up and climb to a certain position.
No one can threaten their lives anymore, and being a dashing civil servant is all it takes.
Thinking about it, the crowd suddenly began to agitate.
Xue Mu was very alert and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
Nangong Xue didn't know what was going on, she stood up, looked at the surging crowd and said, "I don't know either, they all ran to the city gate." β
"Let's go and see."
So saying, he walked on.
Seeing this, Nangong Xue hurriedly grabbed him: "Hey." β
"What's wrong?" Xue Mu turned around.
"There are a lot of people, be careful to get separated, I. Pull you. Nangong Xue hesitated, but finally said.
Xue Mu smiled: "Okay, then Lord Nangong will lead the way." β
However, Nangong Xue Ke did not hold his hand, but grabbed his wrist and walked all the way forward.
Judging from the reactions of these people, something must have happened to the front.
Otherwise, it will definitely not be so restless.
Sure enough, Nangong Xue found that there were officials outside the city gate who were giving porridge.
"Don't worry."
"Don't worry!"
"One bowl per person!"
"Whoever takes too much will chop his hands!"
The officials who gave the soup porridge were all grumpy and seemed to be very disgusted.
Nangong Xue finally squeezed aside, she took Xue Mu's hand and watched the soup soup from the side.
One of the adults sat there calmly, shouting twice from time to time: "Don't worry, everyone has a share." β
Nangong Xue looked at the porridge bucket, and almost all the porridge scooped out was yellow!
"This"
Nangong Xue was very surprised.
Xue Mu listened and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"This porridge. How is it yellow-like? β
When Xue Mu heard this, he responded: "Mix sand." β
"How is it possible, this is a soup kitchen stall arranged by the imperial court, how can they fill their pockets!" Nangong Xue said angrily.
Xue Mu just smiled: "If you don't believe it, you can go and ask for a bowl." β
In order to verify her words, Nangong Xue rushed into the crowd and finally asked for a bowl.
When she saw this bowl, half a bowl of sand and half a bowl of porridge and water, she was stunned for a while.
Xue Mu couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that adults are still naΓ―ve. β
"Why?" Nangong Xue was still in a state of shock.
"There are countless victims of this disaster, and the imperial court immediately ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain to relieve the victims, but if a bowl of porridge is full of fragrant rice, guess how long the imperial court can last, and when this natural disaster will be the head, no one knows."
"Also, what if there are other areas besides the real victims who are pretending to be victims to receive food?"
"The victims who are really hungry don't care if you have sand mixed in your porridge or not, just drink it."
Listening to Xue Mu's words, Nangong Xue was even more surprised: "How do you know so much?" β
Xue Mu just mentioned: "When I was a child, I heard the old gentleman at the entrance of the village say it. β
But in fact, these are the old methods used by the traitors and Shen.
As she was talking, the woman on the side cried, "I, I can't grab it!" I can't grab the porridge! β
Seeing this, Nangong Xue saw that she was still holding a sleepy child in her arms, so she handed her the bowl in her hand: "You drink first." β
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then immediately kowtowed to Nangong Xue: "Thank you, thank you, great benefactor!" β
"Nan, get up and drink porridge, the delicious porridge is here."
After Nangong Xue passed this soup soup scene, she leaned against the trunk and sat down, and she didn't speak for a long time.
Xue Mu knew that she needed time to adapt and accept.
That's survival.
That's fate.
Some people enjoy the flowers and the moon in the imperial city, and even feel sad because of it.
Someone drank a bowl of porridge outside the city and wept with joy.
The joys and sorrows of people are not connected.
Xue Mu came to her side and comforted: "My lord, we have to handle the case urgently, and we still have to keep an eye on the people who come and go." β
At this point, he heard a slight sob.
Nangong Xue recalled the appearance of the woman just now, and recalled her mother-in-law.
But perhaps in order not to make a fool of herself in front of Xue Mu, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and cheered up again: "Now observe the people who come out of the city gate, I see, you listen, no one is allowed to speak." β
"Yes."
In this way, the two leaned against the trunk of the tree.
One sat for three hours.
Late at night, a cold wind hits.
Nangong Xue even felt a trace of coldness on her body.
She couldn't help but shudder.
Xue Mu has a pure yang physique, and his body is naturally warm.
When he heard Nangong Xue's shivering, he asked, "My lord, are you cold?" β
"Nope." Nangong Xuezui said hard.
But in the next second, Xue Mu grabbed her hand, and after feeling the cold temperature, he said, "Let's get closer, I'm hot, I can transfer some heat to you." β
Nangong Xue originally wanted to refuse.
But Xue Mu's words made her finally compromise: "You still have to handle the case, and you can't let these homeless people die because of the people in the city." β
Nangong Xue chose to lean over.
So Xue Mu put his arm around her shoulder.
At this moment, she couldn't help but blush.
She emphasized: "The details of tonight's case are not allowed to be mentioned to others." β
"Understood."
Xue Mu said, and slowly moved his hand down a little.
Nangong Xue also felt the warmth brought by his body at this time.
She didn't expect Xue Mu to be so hot.
Could it be that he is a pure yang fire physique?
Could it be that he is already a fourfold open pulse?
Impossible, it took me two years to ascend to the Quadruple of Open Pulse, how could it take him half a year.
He couldn't have been so fast.
Just as he was thinking, a carriage ran out of the city.
Once again, everyone was agitated.
It just so happened to be the time of the child.
Xue Mu opened his eyes.
As soon as he saw it, he immediately said, "My lord." β
"Well, let's go." Nangong Xue immediately stood up.
But maybe it's sitting too long.
There is some numbness in the legs.
For a while, she was still a little uncomfortable, and stumbled slightly, wanting to help Xue Mu behind her.
And at this moment he was just about to stand up.
And so the unexpected happened.
Nangong Xue accidentally touched the guy on Xue Mu's waist.
