Cultivate with an African God
Chapter 216 The Sweet Breath of Science
In the horror of "what is the legal world?", Mu Xinghe turned left and right with the wind under his feet, leading Shen Xiu out of the sight of the officials.
With the immediate problem solved, he began to fall into confusion about the future.
He doesn't care about the lack of spells, and it's not that he can't use spells at all, but the boss is a wounded number, he just broke through, and it's not easy to forcibly drive his true energy before he has a stable state.
He cares about not having money.
Shen Xiu is carrying a sword, so it is definitely not easy to walk around. He must first find a place to stay, and he needs money.
He is not poor, but he has all spiritual stones on hand, and his things are all strange materials. The only jade formulas are things that record exercises.At this time, it would be easy if Zhong Zijin was around. This kid must bring two sets of clothes with him. He usually wears the plain black clothes with confidence. No matter where the set goes, it must be worth a lot of money.
It's a pity that Mu Xinghe has always been a simple guy who is almost slovenly, and has nothing on him that can be sold for money.On weekdays, he can still rely on his wisdom to deceive and deceive, but it is a pity that it is urgent to arrange the boss (sword) today.
Mu Xinghe was thinking hard, but he noticed that the person beside him made a slight movement, the slender hands with clear knuckles moved over the hanging double glass dragon jade ornaments for a moment, but they were suddenly lifted up.When Mu Xinghe raised his head and looked over, he saw his long hair scattered like a cloud, the jade hairpin pinned to his hair was held in his hand, and he flung it into Mu Xinghe's hand, Mu Xinghe subconsciously took it, and his hand was made of jade delicate and warm.
"Look for a pawn shop."
Shen Xiu folded the branches beside the road, rolled up half of her long hair, glanced at Mu Xinghe who was a little dazed from the corner of her eyes, and said with an astonishing expression, "It should be enough to change the deed."
But Mu Xinghe's eyes flickered, he gave a vague oh, turned around and walked away, his footsteps were still a little heavy.
Probably self-esteem was injured.
Mu Xinghe finally exchanged for a deed. The location is not very good, the place is a bit desolate, but fortunately, the place is spacious and everything is available. The owner of the house was in a hurry to go to the south to do business, so he hastily exchanged the deed for money. This place is just a small frontier town. Hearing that the south is now a place of gold and silver just by going out to sea, the owner couldn't help being moved, and moved his family south while it was still possible to catch up with the season for going to sea.
It is also because the population flow is frequent and the control of household registration is not very strict, Mu Xinghe easily found someone and forged a document, so he settled down here.
"The current environment is different from ours before, and it's not wrong to keep some money on hand." Mu Xinghe led Shen Xiu to the house, a little cramped, "so the environment is not as good as before, but I earn money to support my family. You, you will be fine in the future!"
"...What nonsense?" Shen Xiu's eyes shifted slightly, and she suddenly said, "No, it's actually just right."
Mu Xinghe followed his gaze and saw that in the yard opposite them, there was a wooden sign hanging beside the door. The wooden sign was a little damaged due to age, and even had some moss marks on it. There were a few words engraved on it: " Mysterious Law School".
Shen Xiu turned and walked into her room after taking a look, but Mu Xinghe's eyes lit up, and she went to knock on the door of the other people's courtyard.
After a while, someone answered. The person who opened the door was a woman in her 30s, with a thin figure, tight lips, deep nasolabial folds, and some faint wrinkles between her brows. Grey, with a strange big bag hanging from his waist.
Although her appearance is very different from any other cultivator Mu Xinghe has ever seen, the aura leaking from her body still reveals her identity as a cultivator. It can even be said that she may not be affected by some strange reasons Restricted by the law here, Zhenqi is even stronger than him.
Mu Xinghe, who is a fellow-path, was very friendly, and he happened to have some snacks on his hand, which was used to get closer to the neighbors, so he showed his most friendly and cute smile and said: "Girl, my brother and I have just moved in." Not long ago here, surnamed Mu, the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and I have to take care of them in the future."
However, this girl's behavior was far beyond Mu Xinghe's expectations. She pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at Mu Xinghe for a moment, and then said firmly: "Those with bad intentions should not enter this door!"
Mu Xinghe was dumbfounded, before she resolutely closed the door, she could still see the first child of different sizes sitting in the courtyard holding books, with pairs of curious and clear eyes, looking at him.
Mu Xinghe was shut down and was very sad. Fortunately, the other neighbors he visited were good people who didn't smile and didn't embarrass him anymore.And the neighbors didn't feel strange about his situation at all, and comforted him by saying that the woman in the yard was strange.
Thirty years old, unmarried, kicked out of the house because of practicing those inexplicable so-called magic tricks - tricks, tricks, what's the use of tricks, it's just a trick used by charlatans to fool people, go to the market to fight It's just eye-catching, serious people don't do this.The most frightening thing is that she coaxed children to learn these things somewhere, because she didn't need money, and others treated her as someone to take care of her children, so she allowed it!
But even so, no one dared to say anything in front of her, because this woman is very fierce, and she will go out with a stick if she disagrees with her. I heard that there are some ghost tricks, whether you are a neighbor or an officer, it will get in the way of her. She doesn't show any affection at all!
Mu Xinghe echoed repeatedly, thoughtfully, and gave away the little things he bought one by one, wandering around for a while before returning home.
Just like the world he lived in before, there is no supernatural power involved, and there are other laws to construct the rules of the world.
There used to be sorcery in this world, but in the process of the decline of aura, it has indeed declined step by step.Because this period was too long, the change of authority did not bring about earth-shaking changes to the world. Until now, others have accepted the rule of the superiors peacefully, and regard the era of magic arts that is based on personal strength as a distant legend.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. The dynasty is in its prime, the world beyond the sea opens its arms to them, and people's eyes turn from the fields to the higher world. Vientiane is renewed, and the ambition of the master is just like this era. A glow of vitality.
"In this era, there are three kinds of ordinary people." Mu Xinghe straddled one leg on the chair, boasting, "Smart people, just like the original owner of this house, go far away to carry out primitive accumulation of capital and strive to step into a higher level. Ordinary people can also smell unusual smells and find ways to get more wealth."
"Is there another one?" Shen Xiu has already let down his hair and tied it hastily with a silk ribbon. He is not used to the random hair accessories, let alone the dusty room. He would rather force himself to drive his true energy. To remove dust and impurities.
Mu Xinghe suddenly smiled, beckoned and said, "Wait." He turned around and went out. When he came back, he carried a wooden bucket, wrung out the rag, wiped the four sides, and said while working: "There is another kind of person. , that is the person who is not even willing to follow the crowd.”
Shen Xiu never needed Mu Xinghe's explanation to understand what he meant, and replied lightly: "She has my strength."
——That's right, it's because of the power that didn't belong to this world, and came to the body that belonged to this world, she has the ability that even Mu Xinghe and Shen Xiu can't have in this world.Mu Xinghe let out an "ah" and asked, "Can it work?"
"No, it's just an introduction." Shen Xiu replied.
Mu Xinghe made a gesture and whispered: "Kill?"
Shen Xiu shook her head: "Let's see."
Mu Xinghe thought for a while, and then said: "But in this way, it's not easy to leave here, and I can't be a smart person. A small border town is not as good as a coastal city... easy to get money."
"At the border, there are often officers and soldiers coming and going, one indicates that the war is approaching, and the other is that there are important supplies here." Shen Xiu said.
"Yes," Mu Xinghe wiped the chair clean, sat down, crossed his legs, and thought, "There is no war, but there are preparations for war. I heard that there are high mountains in the north, and there are no other tribes. They are just afraid of wild beasts. Those wild beasts have not lost their true strength, and they are a little more difficult to deal with than usual, but the young people don't know about this, which means there has been no movement for a long time."
Shen Xiu raised her brows slightly when she heard the words, thoughtfully, but Mu Xinghe followed the original train of thought and said something else.
"But there is one other thing. There is indeed a mine nearby, which will be transported to the south. I looked at the situation and the people above thought—" Mu Xinghe suddenly stopped and clapped his hands, "I know how to make money Already!"
Ruan Cheng had a small incident.
A visitor from a foreign country made a bet with someone outside, saying that he could use gold objects to make lamps, and a street would be brightly lit all night.People in the Northwest would pick up cow dung as fuel, which is not surprising, but pigs and sheep—or even human, that’s not the same thing, so people take this kid for granted, and just wait to see what he does joke.
But he was very caring, and immediately went to find a ruined temple, took out the blueprints and asked the craftsman Ding Dingdang to beat them, and he was also looking around for strange things, such as gauze weaving nets, glazed utensils, but there was no such thing as he swore to want. To make fuel, some people are curious to go to the ruined temple to look at the long and short pipe boxes all over the place, but they can't see why.
As time passed, people gradually forgot about this matter, as if Mu Xinghe was the only one who still cared about this forgotten bet.He walked around, leaving early and returning late, and someone reminded him not to do useless work, so as to find a job, but he just smiled and said nothing.
Shen Xiu never asked about his whereabouts, even if he squandered these days as his own property.Once this person meditates, he can meditate forever. The yard is lit day and night, but he is almost silent.
There was only one day when Mu Xinghe came back late at night. At that time, Shen Xiu seemed to have just meditated for a week. When he came out with his clothes on, he met him with dirty clothes and disheveled hair, and asked, "Is it difficult?"
"It's a little bit," Mu Xinghe laughed, "Although it's actually not difficult, I've done the whole process before, but there are still many problems to be solved in the new environment."
He felt a little timid as he spoke, and then raised his voice a little, emphasizing: "But it can definitely be done, who am I?"
In the dim light of the lamp, he saw the corners of Shen Xiu's lips slightly curved, and the warm light reflected in his pupils, just like the flowing water filled with river lanterns that year.
"I have always believed in your seriousness."
Mu Xinghe looked into his eyes, that person's expression was still calm, but his breathing slowed down without realizing it, and his voice was so soft that he seemed afraid of disturbing the dust that had just fallen.
"Boss... When I finish this matter, I will—" He thought for a while, "I have something to tell you."
This night was very quiet, the exhaustion was like mud on his shoulders, but now he shook it off like lumps.Only the sound of dust.
"Okay," Shen Xiu nodded her head lightly, the overly long eyelashes cut the light in his eyes to pieces, with a little smile stained with candle light, "wait for the good news."
After that, Mu Xinghe left early and returned late.When people almost forgot about him, he dug up the streets with great fanfare, loudly argued against the government officials, and attracted people's attention again. People called him the number one absurd person in Ruan City in private.
But no matter how absurd, what this person wanted to do was finally done one by one.
In the early morning of that day, people noticed that strange black iron pipes had been erected on that street, with strange objects wrapped in transparent feeders hanging from them, like some kind of lamps.
People talked about it for a day, and there were more and more people on the originally quiet street. They just waited for that ridiculous person to light up the lights, but that person never appeared.However, when the night fell, they did not wait for the person holding the torch, but saw that the lights were gradually lit up, and the light source was so bright that the night was close to the day, and it illuminated almost everything around.Even if the wind blows, those rays of light have not been affected in the slightest.
Only then did the young man appear, smiling and leading people along the track of the iron pipes on the ground to his secret base.The place was filthy and foul-smelling, causing people to cover their noses, but they finally admitted that they had lost their bet.
For a long time this young man had been talked about, about his absurdity and audacity, about his everlasting lamp lit with filth.
But the young man's footsteps did not stop because of this, and he did another ridiculous thing.He went to Fang's weaving workshop and told the women that he could teach them to weave faster.Before people had time to judge, he went to the government's Armament Bureau and told the craftsmen that he could teach them how to make steel.
People were watching now, waiting to see how he went about, but he came home after his trip and shut himself up.Not long after, the Fang family's chariots and horses loaded with money came to visit, and then Zhizhou invited him to the house as a guest, but he was a boy with no background and no wealth, and suddenly he was in the limelight.
But for Mu Xinghe, his life has been normal since then.
He invited a gardener to plant flowers and trees in the yard, and the yard smelled of freshly turned earth.In fact, Mu Xinghe has a good memory and can recognize most of the flowers and trees, but he is just looking at them. Shen Xiu is good at cooking flowers and trees, so he can sense that Shen Xiu is in a good mood for this change.
Shen Xiu's complexion seemed better, her long hair was tied casually with a ribbon, and a few strands of long hair fell down, covering the mole at the corner of her eye.
While looking at him, Mu Xinghe talked about his past few days: "Actually, I didn't intend to challenge the difficulty, but first of all, the money is your money. I have no fame, let alone power, so it is very difficult to do things." .So I had to choose something weird enough, gimmicky, and the effect can be seen at the last glance. The design of the biogas tank has some joints beyond the current level of productivity, so it is a bit difficult to do, and I can’t do it all. Embodying its function can only be left to future generations to discover, but my purpose is only to seek fame and fortune, as long as I achieve it."
When Mu Xinghe said this, his eyes lit up: "The later things, such as the hydraulic shuttle machine or the steelmaking method, should have existed. I just followed the trend and it went very smoothly. They knew I was capable, so I Willing to lend me money and influence. So—”
He took out a small box from his cuff as if conjuring, handed it to Shen Xiu, and said respectfully: "This is the Five Luminaries God Bead tributed by the Western Regions, please have a look at it, Your Majesty!"
Shen Xiu took the box and was silent for a moment when she opened it.
In fact, this is not a Wuyao Divine Bead, it is just a hairpin, made of white jade, carved with a glass dragon, on which there is an inscription in seal script: "Speaking of a gentleman, warming it like jade".It was Shen Xiu who casually took off the hairpin that he was pawned back then.
Mu Xinghe didn't wait for Shen Xiu's reaction, and eagerly claimed credit: "Look, I redeemed it back! Wow, I told you that those pawnshops are really profiteers, but brother is rich now, so don't panic at all! "
He was still talking, when Shen Xiu suddenly reached out and pinned the hairpin on his hair, it felt cool to the touch.Mu Xinghe stopped his voice immediately, his eyes blinked uncontrollably.Shen Xiu took a look, and was startled.Then he shook his head and withdrew his hand: "It doesn't seem to be suitable."
Mu Xinghe's brain had already crashed due to calculation overload, and he didn't even ask Shen Xiu what was wrong.
But Shen Xiu had already turned the matter over, turned her head slightly, looked at him, and asked, "For this?"
"That's right," Mu Xinghe was still a little dazed, and answered honestly, "Now that I'm the boss, how can I ask you to do it, and exchange your things for money... I will definitely earn it back. And we live Here, there must be something to lean on—now it's done, it's over."
Shen Xiu was slightly surprised, looked at him, and said, "I thought you found this situation very interesting."
Mu Xinghe stretched his waist and looked outside.The courtyard is quiet, but there are faint sounds in the distance.The empire stopped the curfew in the era of the first emperor, and now all businesses are booming. I heard that the business in Beijing is continuous day and night, and there are night markets in small northern cities like Ruan City, but the lighting is always a bit of a cost burden, so the night market does not last long.But when Mu Xinghe set up a street lamp, small merchants gathered on that street to do business, and the surrounding gradually became lively.
In this era, it seems that the ice covering the lake was suddenly pierced, and when a ray of light was thrown into it, countless fish jumped out of the water and looked at the vast sky with their eyes open.It is indeed very interesting.
"It's fun, but that's it," he pointed to himself, "There are many smart people in this world, and there will always be great people who can change the world. It's not stable."
Shen Xiu also looked outside, and suddenly smiled slightly: "In fact, the small world is also a kind of mental experience. Can you find a way to survive in different situations, and indulge yourself endlessly when there is no limit to your strength? Sticking to one's own path when limited, not getting caught up in the joys and sorrows of others, not interfering with the cause and effect of the world, these are all tests."
Mu Xinghe was carefully playing with the leaves and wanted to build a small house. Hearing this, he let out a wow and pretended to be wronged: "You didn't tell me! What if I go astray and no one protects you!"
Shen Xiu glanced at him, but didn't cooperate with his performance, and said indifferently: "It's really useless, then I'll kill you."
Mu Xinghe was very sad, this big boss can't say something nice, he knew that what he wanted was a compliment, just like the "I believe in you" he said earlier, but he didn't have it!
Mu Xinghe was about to start performing, but Shen Xiu quickly attracted his attention.
"What did you want to say earlier?" Shen Xiu asked.
The jokes in Mu Xinghe's mind suddenly became blurred, he sat up straight, and the playfulness in his expression gradually faded away, those eyes seemed to be condensed with sunlight, but now they gradually dimmed.
He is hesitating.
That night, he wanted to tell Shen Xiu that someone was not satisfied with manipulating his fate and wanted to kill him, and he was the one who received the order.
At that time, it was a sudden impulse, but now that I am awake, it is difficult to say these words.
He is not afraid of being guarded or hostile by Shen Xiu, just as Shen Xiu believes in him, he also believes in Shen Xiu.But he was afraid that he was still under the watchful eyes of others, and worried that the sword would fall like this if his intentions were revealed.
He didn't care about life and death at all, but now he has small expectations for the future, and he feels scared.
Shen Xiu's eyes fell on him, but he turned his head unconsciously to avoid such gaze.
Shen Xiu didn't say much, and looked away, watching the wind blowing the green leaves.
This period of silence lasted for a long time, the wind did not move, the leaves did not move, only the sun became hotter and hotter.
Mu Xinghe stood up and looked at the newly planted tree in the courtyard. On the tree was the clear blue sky in the morning. He suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, showing a forced smile, and talked about other topics.
"I told you before, I planted two trees in my cave, one is a jujube tree, one year when I was still in Yunfu, it was too fake, the fruit was sour, and the other was a poplar Tree, tearing the bark is very fun. After joining Li Tingyun's sect, the sect gave me a... little magpie demon, who originally intended to take care of my daily life for my work, but in fact he always avoided me!
"But he likes to take care of the flowers and trees, so that's okay, because I'm not often there. Uncle Xie left Yunfu for training a few years ago, so my slacker master had to come out to work, and he could complain eight hundred times a day. Let me tell you, in my teacher's school, only the senior brother has the ambition to be a human being, and everyone else is trying to evolve into a beast, so they bully me to be obedient and timid..."
After talking for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and sighed: "I miss Yunfu."
In fact, he didn't think much of it at first. He has been training outside for a long time, and Yunfu is no longer his usual place of residence, but when he saw the newly planted tree today, he suddenly recalled how he dug the tree and planted it on his own. In that barren mountain where no birds lay eggs.
In fact, he still has a lot to say, but it seems that there is no need to say it now.He wanted to ask Shen Xiu if she had thought about Yunfu, and if she wanted to go back to Yunfu, but it seemed that there was no need to ask.Shen Xiu likes Yunfu more than him, even if he voluntarily broke up his relationship with Yunfu, Mu Xinghe also believes that he will think about returning to Yunfu one day.
"You also want to go back to Yunfu." Mu Xinghe said softly.
The sun emerged from behind the clouds, and the sunlight soaked his body like hot water. Shen Xiu was also enveloped by the sunlight, almost glowing.His eyelashes drooped, and the light and shadow in his eyes were like broken crystals.
"I will return to Yunfu," his voice was like ice and jade, and his eyes fell on Mu Xinghe. It was the water after the wind in the sun, with a sparkling expression, "One day, I will let You can say it and dare to say it."
Mu Xinghe has always liked to talk nonsense, he can talk nonsense easily, he knows that he can tease something to break the current self that is not like himself, but now he can't say a word.
Those unfamiliar worries and guilts suddenly turned into even stranger sourness, filling his heart.He didn't understand if this was the feeling of liking someone.
The author has something to say:
Thanks to Shen Nianjiu for the mine~Thanks to Guigu tea for the mine~Thanks to Qian Guyue for the mine~
This chapter is relatively long, so I decided to update it later in the next update!
With the immediate problem solved, he began to fall into confusion about the future.
He doesn't care about the lack of spells, and it's not that he can't use spells at all, but the boss is a wounded number, he just broke through, and it's not easy to forcibly drive his true energy before he has a stable state.

"Is there another one?" Shen Xiu has already let down his hair and tied it hastily with a silk ribbon. He is not used to the random hair accessories, let alone the dusty room. He would rather force himself to drive his true energy. To remove dust and impurities.
Mu Xinghe suddenly smiled, beckoned and said, "Wait." He turned around and went out. When he came back, he carried a wooden bucket, wrung out the rag, wiped the four sides, and said while working: "There is another kind of person. , that is the person who is not even willing to follow the crowd.”

But he was very caring, and immediately went to find a ruined temple, took out the blueprints and asked the craftsman Ding Dingdang to beat them, and he was also looking around for strange things, such as gauze weaving nets, glazed utensils, but there was no such thing as he swore to want. To make fuel, some people are curious to go to the ruined temple to look at the long and short pipe boxes all over the place, but they can't see why.
As time passed, people gradually forgot about this matter, as if Mu Xinghe was the only one who still cared about this forgotten bet.He walked around, leaving early and returning late, and someone reminded him not to do useless work, so as to find a job, but he just smiled and said nothing.
Shen Xiu never asked about his whereabouts, even if he squandered these days as his own property.Once this person meditates, he can meditate forever. The yard is lit day and night, but he is almost silent.
There was only one day when Mu Xinghe came back late at night. At that time, Shen Xiu seemed to have just meditated for a week. When he came out with his clothes on, he met him with dirty clothes and disheveled hair, and asked, "Is it difficult?"
"It's a little bit," Mu Xinghe laughed, "Although it's actually not difficult, I've done the whole process before, but there are still many problems to be solved in the new environment."
He felt a little timid as he spoke, and then raised his voice a little, emphasizing: "But it can definitely be done, who am I?"
In the dim light of the lamp, he saw the corners of Shen Xiu's lips slightly curved, and the warm light reflected in his pupils, just like the flowing water filled with river lanterns that year.
"I have always believed in your seriousness."
Mu Xinghe looked into his eyes, that person's expression was still calm, but his breathing slowed down without realizing it, and his voice was so soft that he seemed afraid of disturbing the dust that had just fallen.
"Boss... When I finish this matter, I will—" He thought for a while, "I have something to tell you."
This night was very quiet, the exhaustion was like mud on his shoulders, but now he shook it off like lumps.Only the sound of dust.
"Okay," Shen Xiu nodded her head lightly, the overly long eyelashes cut the light in his eyes to pieces, with a little smile stained with candle light, "wait for the good news."
After that, Mu Xinghe left early and returned late.When people almost forgot about him, he dug up the streets with great fanfare, loudly argued against the government officials, and attracted people's attention again. People called him the number one absurd person in Ruan City in private.
But no matter how absurd, what this person wanted to do was finally done one by one.
In the early morning of that day, people noticed that strange black iron pipes had been erected on that street, with strange objects wrapped in transparent feeders hanging from them, like some kind of lamps.
People talked about it for a day, and there were more and more people on the originally quiet street. They just waited for that ridiculous person to light up the lights, but that person never appeared.However, when the night fell, they did not wait for the person holding the torch, but saw that the lights were gradually lit up, and the light source was so bright that the night was close to the day, and it illuminated almost everything around.Even if the wind blows, those rays of light have not been affected in the slightest.
Only then did the young man appear, smiling and leading people along the track of the iron pipes on the ground to his secret base.The place was filthy and foul-smelling, causing people to cover their noses, but they finally admitted that they had lost their bet.
For a long time this young man had been talked about, about his absurdity and audacity, about his everlasting lamp lit with filth.
But the young man's footsteps did not stop because of this, and he did another ridiculous thing.He went to Fang's weaving workshop and told the women that he could teach them to weave faster.Before people had time to judge, he went to the government's Armament Bureau and told the craftsmen that he could teach them how to make steel.
People were watching now, waiting to see how he went about, but he came home after his trip and shut himself up.Not long after, the Fang family's chariots and horses loaded with money came to visit, and then Zhizhou invited him to the house as a guest, but he was a boy with no background and no wealth, and suddenly he was in the limelight.
But for Mu Xinghe, his life has been normal since then.
He invited a gardener to plant flowers and trees in the yard, and the yard smelled of freshly turned earth.In fact, Mu Xinghe has a good memory and can recognize most of the flowers and trees, but he is just looking at them. Shen Xiu is good at cooking flowers and trees, so he can sense that Shen Xiu is in a good mood for this change.
Shen Xiu's complexion seemed better, her long hair was tied casually with a ribbon, and a few strands of long hair fell down, covering the mole at the corner of her eye.
While looking at him, Mu Xinghe talked about his past few days: "Actually, I didn't intend to challenge the difficulty, but first of all, the money is your money. I have no fame, let alone power, so it is very difficult to do things." .So I had to choose something weird enough, gimmicky, and the effect can be seen at the last glance. The design of the biogas tank has some joints beyond the current level of productivity, so it is a bit difficult to do, and I can’t do it all. Embodying its function can only be left to future generations to discover, but my purpose is only to seek fame and fortune, as long as I achieve it."
When Mu Xinghe said this, his eyes lit up: "The later things, such as the hydraulic shuttle machine or the steelmaking method, should have existed. I just followed the trend and it went very smoothly. They knew I was capable, so I Willing to lend me money and influence. So—”
He took out a small box from his cuff as if conjuring, handed it to Shen Xiu, and said respectfully: "This is the Five Luminaries God Bead tributed by the Western Regions, please have a look at it, Your Majesty!"
Shen Xiu took the box and was silent for a moment when she opened it.
In fact, this is not a Wuyao Divine Bead, it is just a hairpin, made of white jade, carved with a glass dragon, on which there is an inscription in seal script: "Speaking of a gentleman, warming it like jade".It was Shen Xiu who casually took off the hairpin that he was pawned back then.
Mu Xinghe didn't wait for Shen Xiu's reaction, and eagerly claimed credit: "Look, I redeemed it back! Wow, I told you that those pawnshops are really profiteers, but brother is rich now, so don't panic at all! "
He was still talking, when Shen Xiu suddenly reached out and pinned the hairpin on his hair, it felt cool to the touch.Mu Xinghe stopped his voice immediately, his eyes blinked uncontrollably.Shen Xiu took a look, and was startled.Then he shook his head and withdrew his hand: "It doesn't seem to be suitable."
Mu Xinghe's brain had already crashed due to calculation overload, and he didn't even ask Shen Xiu what was wrong.
But Shen Xiu had already turned the matter over, turned her head slightly, looked at him, and asked, "For this?"
"That's right," Mu Xinghe was still a little dazed, and answered honestly, "Now that I'm the boss, how can I ask you to do it, and exchange your things for money... I will definitely earn it back. And we live Here, there must be something to lean on—now it's done, it's over."
Shen Xiu was slightly surprised, looked at him, and said, "I thought you found this situation very interesting."
Mu Xinghe stretched his waist and looked outside.The courtyard is quiet, but there are faint sounds in the distance.The empire stopped the curfew in the era of the first emperor, and now all businesses are booming. I heard that the business in Beijing is continuous day and night, and there are night markets in small northern cities like Ruan City, but the lighting is always a bit of a cost burden, so the night market does not last long.But when Mu Xinghe set up a street lamp, small merchants gathered on that street to do business, and the surrounding gradually became lively.
In this era, it seems that the ice covering the lake was suddenly pierced, and when a ray of light was thrown into it, countless fish jumped out of the water and looked at the vast sky with their eyes open.It is indeed very interesting.
"It's fun, but that's it," he pointed to himself, "There are many smart people in this world, and there will always be great people who can change the world. It's not stable."
Shen Xiu also looked outside, and suddenly smiled slightly: "In fact, the small world is also a kind of mental experience. Can you find a way to survive in different situations, and indulge yourself endlessly when there is no limit to your strength? Sticking to one's own path when limited, not getting caught up in the joys and sorrows of others, not interfering with the cause and effect of the world, these are all tests."
Mu Xinghe was carefully playing with the leaves and wanted to build a small house. Hearing this, he let out a wow and pretended to be wronged: "You didn't tell me! What if I go astray and no one protects you!"
Shen Xiu glanced at him, but didn't cooperate with his performance, and said indifferently: "It's really useless, then I'll kill you."
Mu Xinghe was very sad, this big boss can't say something nice, he knew that what he wanted was a compliment, just like the "I believe in you" he said earlier, but he didn't have it!
Mu Xinghe was about to start performing, but Shen Xiu quickly attracted his attention.
"What did you want to say earlier?" Shen Xiu asked.
The jokes in Mu Xinghe's mind suddenly became blurred, he sat up straight, and the playfulness in his expression gradually faded away, those eyes seemed to be condensed with sunlight, but now they gradually dimmed.
He is hesitating.
That night, he wanted to tell Shen Xiu that someone was not satisfied with manipulating his fate and wanted to kill him, and he was the one who received the order.
At that time, it was a sudden impulse, but now that I am awake, it is difficult to say these words.
He is not afraid of being guarded or hostile by Shen Xiu, just as Shen Xiu believes in him, he also believes in Shen Xiu.But he was afraid that he was still under the watchful eyes of others, and worried that the sword would fall like this if his intentions were revealed.
He didn't care about life and death at all, but now he has small expectations for the future, and he feels scared.
Shen Xiu's eyes fell on him, but he turned his head unconsciously to avoid such gaze.
Shen Xiu didn't say much, and looked away, watching the wind blowing the green leaves.
This period of silence lasted for a long time, the wind did not move, the leaves did not move, only the sun became hotter and hotter.
Mu Xinghe stood up and looked at the newly planted tree in the courtyard. On the tree was the clear blue sky in the morning. He suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, showing a forced smile, and talked about other topics.
"I told you before, I planted two trees in my cave, one is a jujube tree, one year when I was still in Yunfu, it was too fake, the fruit was sour, and the other was a poplar Tree, tearing the bark is very fun. After joining Li Tingyun's sect, the sect gave me a... little magpie demon, who originally intended to take care of my daily life for my work, but in fact he always avoided me!
"But he likes to take care of the flowers and trees, so that's okay, because I'm not often there. Uncle Xie left Yunfu for training a few years ago, so my slacker master had to come out to work, and he could complain eight hundred times a day. Let me tell you, in my teacher's school, only the senior brother has the ambition to be a human being, and everyone else is trying to evolve into a beast, so they bully me to be obedient and timid..."
After talking for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and sighed: "I miss Yunfu."
In fact, he didn't think much of it at first. He has been training outside for a long time, and Yunfu is no longer his usual place of residence, but when he saw the newly planted tree today, he suddenly recalled how he dug the tree and planted it on his own. In that barren mountain where no birds lay eggs.
In fact, he still has a lot to say, but it seems that there is no need to say it now.He wanted to ask Shen Xiu if she had thought about Yunfu, and if she wanted to go back to Yunfu, but it seemed that there was no need to ask.Shen Xiu likes Yunfu more than him, even if he voluntarily broke up his relationship with Yunfu, Mu Xinghe also believes that he will think about returning to Yunfu one day.
"You also want to go back to Yunfu." Mu Xinghe said softly.
The sun emerged from behind the clouds, and the sunlight soaked his body like hot water. Shen Xiu was also enveloped by the sunlight, almost glowing.His eyelashes drooped, and the light and shadow in his eyes were like broken crystals.
"I will return to Yunfu," his voice was like ice and jade, and his eyes fell on Mu Xinghe. It was the water after the wind in the sun, with a sparkling expression, "One day, I will let You can say it and dare to say it."
Mu Xinghe has always liked to talk nonsense, he can talk nonsense easily, he knows that he can tease something to break the current self that is not like himself, but now he can't say a word.
Those unfamiliar worries and guilts suddenly turned into even stranger sourness, filling his heart.He didn't understand if this was the feeling of liking someone.
The author has something to say:
Thanks to Shen Nianjiu for the mine~Thanks to Guigu tea for the mine~Thanks to Qian Guyue for the mine~
