The Heartless Mage Chapter 33: Intentional growth
The crescent room was clean and odorless, so the two moved to her room together. Crescent Moon hurriedly folded the quilt and put it on the kang table, while Wuxin's hand was placed on her shoulder. Under the shoulders are the buttons of the slanted placket, and one finger eagerly probed into the sloping placket, because it was warmer inside, and there were two big fragrant buns.
Master Gu put on cotton shoes on his feet, replaced a rolling pin in his hand, and was ready to slam Crescent Moon's shoulder at any time: "I said, are you sure this is Master's hand?"
Crescent Moon was so busy that she had long hair all over her face, and the man hid in his hair and replied, "He has shown me eight hundred times from head to toe, how can I not know what his man's hands look like? "
The voice fell, and she sighed heavily. And Wuxin hooked the collar of the crescent moon with his little finger, freeing his index finger and thumb, and flicked at Master Gu.
Master Gu involuntarily followed with a sigh: "How come this is not as good as once? Last time I only lost half of my head, this time it's good, only one right hand is left!"
Crescent Moon and Master Gu got on the kang cross-legged, and their hands were placed on the kang table. Crescent Moon twisted her hair back in a mess, and she couldn't tell what emotion she was in. If Wuxin came back without arms and legs, she would definitely cry a lot in fear and pain; but facing the hand in the middle of the table, she always felt that she had not woken up.
Master Gu also feels sleepwalking. Sitting cross-legged on the hot kang head of the crescent moon, he didn't even wear socks, and his toes moved subconsciously. Wuxin's hand was lying on the table, and his index finger and **** tapped on the table alternately first, feeling that both of them were looking at his hand, then he moved his finger and began to write stroke by stroke on the desktop. Crescent Moon learned a little bit of culture from her uncle when she was very young. She could barely recognize a bunch of big characters, and there were a lot of white characters in them, so she didn't want to write it directly to Master Gu. The broken wrist showed snow-white stubble, which was also included. It fell into the eyes of Master Gu. Master Gu stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and sneezed; Crescent Moon gradually came to his senses, and reached out and patted him across the table: "Don't be distracted, look at what he wrote!"
Inadvertently, he talked at length on the table, and finally made a request to let Master Gu secretly bury himself in the soil.
Crescent Moon has completely recognized the reality, and when she thinks of Wuxin being shot indiscriminately, with one shot and one blood hole, she is really distressed and burst into tears. After listening to Master Gu's retelling of Wuxin's words, she picked up the handkerchief and blew her nose, and immediately objected: "No! The two rooms are not long enough for you? Do you have to dig underground? In the winter, the ground is frozen, you Do you want to be buried alive?"
Master Gu, who frowned, also expressed the same opinion: "Master, to tell you the truth, you look a lot neater than last time. Crescent moon is not afraid, and I am not afraid. As long as you don't run around like a mouse, I have no objection to keeping it in the house.”
Wu Xin waited for the two of them to finish speaking, and continued to write, saying that he looks like a hand now, and that he will not necessarily grow into any virtue in two days.
Crescent Moon didn't want to play tricks with him anymore, so she told him tearfully: "The man is in charge outside the house, and the woman in the house is in charge. I'll be in charge today, where is my basket?"
Without waiting for an answer, Crescent Moon climbed to the corner of the kang by herself and brought the needle and thread basket over. The needle and thread were poured out, and she put a layer of pillow towel inside the basket: "You will sleep here in the future, and when you grow up, I will give you another basket."
Wu Xin was silent for a moment, then wrote again, and wanted to live in Master Gu's room. He knows his growth process very well, so he doesn't want Crescent Moon to witness it with his own eyes. Crescent Moon can accept herself to such a degree that she is already considered a strange woman. He thinks that everything has a limit, and he can't endlessly disturb her and scare her because Crescent Moon is not afraid. If one day Crescent Moon flicks her sleeves and really doesn't want herself, she will be dumbfounded.
Crescent Moon doesn't care which house he lives in, he just refuses to bury him in the ground. Master Gu scratched his ears: "Stay in my room...it's okay, but you have to be honest, I wake you up, I sleep you sleep, and you are not allowed to crawl around on the full kang."
Agreement reached, calm and peaceful. Crescent Moon heated hot water and washed her face, then twisted the towel to wipe her unintentional hands. When wiping his hands, Master Gu came up and touched his broken wrist with his fingers out of curiosity. Crescent Moon turned around and separated him, and said angrily, "Don't mess with him!"
Master Gu walked around her and told her seriously: "Look at his wrist, what's wrong?"
Crescent Moon looked at the wound on the wrist and found that although the bones were still white, the red meat inside seemed to have a transparent film on the surface. When she squeezed the palm lightly, the palm seemed to be thick.
"Maybe it's starting to grow fat!" Crescent Moon looked up at Master Gu: "If you touch it, the back of your hand is bulging."
Master Gu wanted to shake hands with Wuxin, but Wuxin climbed up Crescent Moon's arm and returned to his shoulders in a flash. Crescent Moon raised her hand and patted him, thinking that fortunately I don't have her parents' family, otherwise, if my son-in-law is like this, can my parents' family let me live with him?
Crescent Moon didn't care about Master Gu, because Master Gu couldn't support the wall with mud. No matter how clean he was, he would return to his original state in a day; but since Wuxin came back, he lived in Master Gu's house again. In the middle, she was relieved and had the spare energy to do more work. Putting the unintentional basket on Mr. Gu's kang, she muttered to herself as she swept the floor: "How long do you have to grow? First grow your arms and then your body?"
Wu Xin felt that this matter was too difficult to describe, and it was a thousand words to write, and I might not be able to write it clearly, so I lay in the basket and didn't respond. Master Gu took a bowl of hot soup on the kang, and sweated profusely; so Crescent Moon straightened up with a broom, and another question: "You don't even have a mouth, so how do you eat?"
Inadvertently, I climbed out of the basket and started writing on the kang; Master Gu looked straight at it, and finally told Crescent Moon: "Soak him in water, he won't be able to eat until he becomes an adult."
Crescent Moon thought about it for a while: "I'm not too hungry for water. How about making some soup and soaking it?"
Wuxin wrote three big characters on the kang: "Don't put salt!"
Master Gu was instructed by Wuxin, and did not report the news to Chuchenzi, for fear that the old Taoist would come to subdue the demons and exorcise the demons, and then chop Wuxin to pieces. Anyway, Qingyunguan has a huge industry. As long as the abbot makes a statement, the rest of the Taoist priests don't care about the two outsiders who are eating leisurely in the temple.
In the afternoon, Wuxinzhi sent Master Gu to find a big vat and come back. Master Gu didn't want to go out because of the cold weather; Crescent Moon also said: "It's cold and hard in the tank, how can there be a comfortable basket?" Then she found another pillow towel and put it on the basket: "I'll add a little quilt for you. ."
Wanxin had no choice. While he could still move his five fingers, he climbed onto the crescent moon, touched his face and his hair, making him extremely intimate. Crescent Moon knew what he meant, and while Master Gu was not paying attention, she covered Wuxin on her chest.
After nightfall, Crescent Moon went back to her room to sleep. Master Gu got on the kang, and after a while, he was snoring like thunder. The basket was placed on the head of the kang, and inadvertently it was covered by the pillow towel. In the darkness, the underside of the pillow towel swelled and swelled, like a living heart beating again.
Master Gu slept soundly, dreaming back to two years ago. Two years ago, he fought and fought and was invincible at the foot of Pig's Head Mountain. Killed all the way until dawn, he opened his eyes and woke up. Looking at the simple environment around him, he turned over thoughtfully, full of disappointment.
He stretched out his hand and dragged the basket of the kang head over. He leaned on his arm and asked, "Master, are you still asleep?"
There is no movement under the pillow cover, not an unintentional behavior. Master Gu suddenly suspected that he had slipped away at night, so he quickly lifted the pillowcase and looked inward. However, at a glance, he was shocked and sat up suddenly!
It turned out that the hands inside the basket were already out of hand.
Holding his breath for a moment, Master Gu regained his courage and pulled the basket closer to take a closer look. He saw a fist-sized piece of red flesh bulging, supporting the skin on the back of his hand to pieces. The slender phalanx was exposed, and it was also squeezed by the red meat. The meat was bright red and translucent, and the surface seemed to be stretched with a thin film. Master Gu cautiously reached out and touched the red meat. It was only tender and quivering, and there was no strange touch. He leaned down and sniffed again, and it seemed to be a little sweet and fishy, except for the sweet fishy, and there was no other peculiar smell.
Master Gu also thought that Wuxin would grow his arms and body, but he never imagined that not only did he lose his arms, but he even lost his hands after one night. Picking up the basket and leaning in front of the window, he took a closer look at the sunlight; he found that the red meat was not like meat, but more like a blood cell. It was opaque, but faintly translucent.
Master Gu dare not touch it, for fear of breaking it. He put down the basket lightly, put on his clothes and trousers and put on cotton shoes, without even urinating, he ran directly to the crescent room next door. Slipping in like a thief, he lowered his voice and said, "It's amazing, Master has really changed!"
Crescent Moon was startled: "What has changed?"
Master Gu pointed to the door: "Go and see for yourself!"
Crescent Moon was also dumbfounded when she saw what was in the basket. She has no idea, and neither does Master Gu. In desperation, I had to live my life as usual. The large bowl of broth was lukewarm, and Crescent Moon carefully took Wuxin out of the basket. As a result, all the skin and bones fell off, leaving only a piece of meat in her hand.
Putting the meat into the soup bowl, Crescent Moon picked up a finger from the basket. The skin on the fingers looked dry and rotten, and the bones were particularly light, as if they could be broken with a pinch. Crescent Moon swallowed her saliva, she was so frightened that she was really scared.
"You..." She turned to the bowl and asked softly, "Are you unintentional?"
The meat in the bowl was unresponsive, as if it was just a grotesque piece of meat.
During the day, Wuxin did not continue to change. After nightfall, Crescent Moon wanted to bring the basket to her own house, but Master Gu was kind and insisted on keeping the basket.
Crescent Moon hadn't slept well all night, and knew that she was married to something wrong, but she left her unintentional to find another man, and she really couldn't bear him. After a dazed night, she just got off the kang and opened the door the next morning, when she saw Master Gu rushing out from the next door, and shouted to her in shock, "It's over, Master has turned into a maggot!"
