Chapter Eighty-Eight: Do You Know the Depth of the Rivers and Lakes (2)
Mu Xun hurriedly got up and welcomed Wei Chonghai into the house, and said gratefully: "Dare to worry about Brother Wei, it really flatters the younger brother." ”
Wei Chonghai put the things on the table, waved his hand and said with a smile: "When you first go out, you naturally have to take care of it more on the road." Pointing to the oiled paper wrapped in roast chicken, he said: "This roast chicken is freshly baked, it tastes just right, you eat and rest early, I still have to take a look at the goods." ”
Mu Xun wanted to invite him to eat and drink together, but after hearing him say that he was going to check the goods, he didn't dare to keep it, but thanked him again and again.
After sending Wei Chonghai away, Mu Xun returned to the house and sighed to Xu Che: "This Brother Wei is really a warm heart, and when I return to Kunming, I will definitely thank him well." ”
Xu Che nodded in agreement. Mu Xun opened the oiled paper bag, inside was a roasted roast chicken that was burnt and fragrant, and it was still steaming, he couldn't help but move his index finger, and immediately broke off a chicken leg and gnawed it, and with the other hand, he took the wine jug and took a sip directly at the spout, so uncomfortable.
After eating for a while, he suddenly remembered Xu Che beside him, raised his eyes and asked, "You also sit down and eat some, do you still want to drink wine?"
Xu Che shook his head and smiled: "I'm full for dinner, you can eat quickly." Then he turned around and went to get the basin, and said, "I'll go get some hot water to wash you." ”
Mu Xun ate smoothly, and after a while, he finished half of the roast chicken, and drank not a drop of wine in the wine jug, and then gave a loud burp, stood up and lay down comfortably on the bed, shouting comfortably.
After a while, Xu Che fetched hot water and returned to the house, first let Mu Xun wash, and then went out with the wastewater, and when he returned to the house, Mu Xun was already lying on the bed.
Seeing Xu Che enter the door, Mu Xun began to complain: "This bed is so hard, it's like sleeping on the ground." ”
Xu Che thought to himself: "You are sleeping in the bed and you are still picking, if you are asked to sleep on the wooden stool, then you have to do it?" But he said: "My eldest young master, I can only deal with it when I go out, or I will go to the store to ask for a mattress?"
Mu Xun straightened his waist, put his hands behind his head, and said, "That's not necessary, anyway, I don't know how soft or hard I will be after falling asleep." ”
Xu Che shook his head with a smile, put the four stools side by side, then blew out the oil lamp, and lay down on the stool.
In the dark, the two were silent for a while, and Mu Xun suddenly broke the silence with a voice: "You have slept in the carriage for so long, can you still sleep now?"
Xu Che turned over and said, "I can't sleep." ”
Mu Xun asked again, "How long have you known the girl surnamed Meng?"
Xu Che was stunned, he didn't expect Mu Xun to ask this question, but he still replied honestly: "It's been five years now." ”
Mu Xun said: "She treats you like this, you really don't have a trace of resentment in your heart?"
Xu Che sighed: "Alas, what if there is? Everything is because of my senseless delusions, who is to blame? I used to ask her what she thought of me, and she always looked at him left and right, and her mind was always unpredictable. At that time, I only said that she was testing me, so I didn't think much about it, but now it seems... She may only be if I'm a... A good friend. ”
Mu Xun snorted coldly and asked in a deep voice, "Do you still have illusions about her?"
Xu Che was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "If you say no, it is against your heart, but what if you have illusions? What can I do better than the Mu family's son? Don't say anything else, just say that it is wealth, I will be thousands of miles away, let alone others?" Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh and continued: "I only hope that the Mu family's son can treat her well and cherish her in the future." ”
Mu Xun sat up suddenly, glared angrily at Mu Xun on the other side of the darkness, and said sharply: "I brought up this topic at this time, not to deduct your scars, nor to listen to your self-esteem, people are tall, short, fat and thin, and have their own strengths and weaknesses, and don't say anything else, just say that your character and temperament are thousands of times better than that Mu boy." Also, that kind of woman is really not worth your effort, and you don't have to worry about her in the future, you can forget about her!"
Xu Che also knew that Mu Xun was caring about himself, so he didn't care about his commanding words. But a person's feelings are built up over the years, and how can he break it off and forget it, not to mention that Xu Che is still a long-term lover, it is even more impossible to cut through the mess quickly.
Mu Xun saw that Xu Che didn't say anything for a while, and said, "I'm talking to you, why don't you want me?"
Xu Che said leisurely: "You also said before that you haven't liked any girl, so you won't understand my feelings." Five years, five years! How can you say that you can forget it? ”
Mu Xun was about to speak, but he heard Xu Che continue: "Maybe after a long time, I can slowly forget it!"
Mu Xun thought about it and felt that what he said was reasonable, so he didn't say anything anymore, and slowly lay down again.
At this point, the two of them returned to silence, and they were both thinking about their own thoughts in the dark.
I don't know how long it took, Xu Che suddenly remembered something, and immediately recovered from his low mood, and hurriedly asked: "Patronizing me, I forgot to ask you, did you tell Uncle Mu about our trip to Gusu? Also, Brother Wei said that you were 'just out of the distance', what does this mean? Have you never been to Gusu?"
Mu Xun said simply: "I didn't say it, and I haven't been there." ”
Xu Che let out an "ah", sat up in shock, and said hurriedly: "But you promised me before, didn't you lie to me!"
Mu Xun said disdainfully: "Didn't Chen Hao know that we were going to Gusu, and when he arrived at my house tomorrow, my father would naturally know." ”
Xu Che said: "This is not good, this kind of thing is going to be far away from the door, you should have told Uncle Mu in person, and let others talk about it!"
Mu Xun sneered and said disdainfully: "Since he is indifferent to his close relatives, why do I need to bother him with this little thing, just let him accompany his brother-in-law well." ”
Xu Che said: "How can you say this about your father? Uncle Xu must have something to do..."
Xu Che didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Mu Xun became even more annoyed, and immediately retorted: "As a last resort? Do you know how much he has hidden from me? He was a famous hero in the Central Plains, but why did he go to Kunming incognito? Also, why did my mother die? What happened in the past? These mysteries, one by one, one by one, he didn't want to tell me, did he also need to have a last resort for his own son!"
Xu Che was stopped by this series of questions, and said in his heart: "No wonder I haven't seen my aunt in the tea shop, it turns out that she has already betrayed the world." Alas, his experience is somewhat similar to mine..."Thinking of this, I felt a sense of pity in my heart, and said to myself: "I didn't expect you and I to be in the same disease!"
Mu Xun was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "How can your experience be similar to mine?"
Xu Che said: "You and I both lost our mothers when we were young, and we both moved to a foreign land with our fathers, and we both don't know much about our father's history, isn't this experience similar?"
Mu Xun thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is also true..."After being silent for a while, Wu Zi said: "That's it, I'll write to my father early tomorrow morning and inform him of our itinerary." ”
Xu Che was relieved when he heard that he promised to report to his family, and said, "I think Uncle Mu is only afraid that he is still worried about you at the moment." ”
Mu Xun turned over to face the wall and muttered, "I just want to make him worry, otherwise wouldn't I have suffered these two slaps in vain." ”
Xu Che smiled bitterly in his heart, and secretly sighed: "You really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings, if my father can be half as good as Uncle Mu, I will be content." But he said, "Rest early, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”
Mu Xun casually said "uh-huh" and stopped talking, and after a while, a slight snoring sounded sound.
Xu Che didn't feel sleepy, his head was full of Meng Yue at the moment, and the happy picture of being with her kept flashing in front of him, and his thoughts began to believe in the reins, but he didn't know that time flew by. I don't know how long it took, but he finally fell asleep.
