The Heartless Mage Chapter 34: The ever-changing

Crescent Moon and Mr. Gu stood side by side in front of the kang, staring at the kang head and dumbfounded.

Yesterday it was a piece of red meat the size of a fist, but it took a night to stretch it into a foot long, round at one end and tapered at the other. The bright red color has also faded, and it looks like a pink and tender maggot. . The small needle and thread basket could no longer hold it, and the slender tail stretched out from the edge and draped softly on the corner of the quilt.

Finally, Crescent Moon stuttered and said, "Why, why did you grow up like this?"

Master Gu picked up the basket and weighed the weight: "It's a lot heavier than yesterday, at least a pound more."

Yesterday it was a heart-sized piece of red meat that looked weird, but not terrible. Now the red meat has become a big quivering strip, but it's a little creepy. Master Gu held up the basket against the bright light of the window, and the two of them brought their heads together to examine the maggot carefully, and saw a white line faintly appearing in its body, extending from the beginning to the end, not knowing what it was.

Crescent Moon stretched out her hand bravely and touched it lightly. After touching it, she told Master Gu: "It's quite slippery."

Master Gu retracted the basket, lowered his head and sniffed. Turning to the crescent moon with a grin, he said with a bitter face, "It doesn't smell good."

Crescent Moon also leaned over and brought the tip of her nose up, took a long breath, and straightened her waist: "It doesn't smell good, and it's a little sweet and a little fishy."

Master Gu asked Crescent Moon: "Does he also smell like this?"

Crescent Moon shook her head immediately: "No, no, he is tasteless."

Then the two of them sighed together.

Although Wuxin's new image is not very popular, both Crescent Moon and Master Gu are people who have gone through the storm, so there is no fuss. As usual, Crescent Moon cleans up the house and boils water for cooking. After Master Gu has finished washing and dressing, following the order of Crescent Moon, he takes Wuxin out of the basket and transfers it to a large bamboo basket.

After putting Wuxin aside, Master Gu lowered his head and stared at it for a long time. Picking up the basket gently and placing it on the kang, he pulled his quilt over. The quilt has been exposed to stinky farts and stinky feet all night, and it has all the temperature and smell. Master Gu tightly covered the basket with a quilt, just out of sight and out of mind.

In the afternoon, Master Gu entered Crescent Moon's house. Everyone has a love for beauty, Crescent Moon's house is clean, and Crescent Moon himself is neatly dressed; Master Gu sits on Crescent Moon's hot kang head and feels a lot of ironing in his heart.

Crescent Moon brought the basket over, with a pillow towel on top of the basket and placed it on the kang head. While doing needlework, Crescent Moon glanced at the basket every now and then, hoping to see a little movement. However, the maggot lay contentedly in the basket, motionless.

After doing needlework for a long time, Crescent Moon put down the needle and straightened her waist, raised her head and called: "Master Gu, you said—"

Master Gu was in a daze, and was suddenly startled, and immediately shivered. Crescent Moon did not expect that he would frighten him, and immediately shut up. The two sides were silent for a moment, and Master Gu suddenly smiled bitterly and asked, "What did you call me just now?"

Crescent Moon looked at him inexplicably: "I call you Master Gu!"

Master Gu turned his head and looked out the window: "Without soldiers, no horses, no guns and no money, what a **** adult am I!"

Crescent Moon blinked and didn't understand the meaning: "I'm used to it, if you don't want to hear it, I'll change my mind later? What do you want me to call you?"

Master Gu knows that Crescent Moon is not of high level, but she has no relatives around her, so she is still a family member. When she has something in her heart, she can only say to her: "Crescent Moon, do you know what I was like back then?"

Crescent Moon picks up the needle again: "I know, you were very imposing back then, I didn't dare to raise my head to speak when I saw you."

Master Gu nodded, and then wrinkled his eyebrows: "You put down the needle and thread, why are you worrying about the soles of your shoes? Listen to me honestly!"

Crescent Moon smiled, not as familiar with him: "Okay, okay, tell me, I'm listening."

Master Gu looked at him blankly, and said at the same time: "Crescent Moon, I can't continue to mix in the Taoist temple, I have to go out and conquer the world!"

Crescent Moon immediately became nervous: "To fight the world? Who do you want to fight alone? It's been a few days since it stopped, and you're going to make waves again?"

Master Gu waved his hand: "Don't have long hair and short knowledge, I treat you as my own sister, and only tell you what I have to say! Who said that you have to use a knife and a gun to fight the world? You think I am apart from Zhang Xiaomaozi and He Ding Datou, don't you know more senior people? Let me tell you, the fortune teller said that I am a martial artist, and I will have a great career in this life. I live in a Taoist temple and don't move, how can I achieve a great career?"

Crescent Moon listened to his bragging, and it was very interesting: "Just say what you want to do?"

Master Gu licked his dry and cracked lips, and said solemnly: "I plan to go to Tianjin, and you will come with me. It just so happens that Master has not grown up, so he can save a train ticket. Tianjin is a big city. City, you haven't been there, have you?"

Crescent Moon shook her head: "I've definitely never been there. Even Chang'an County is my first time here."

Master Gu raised his head proudly and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window: "Originally, I wanted to gather the scattered brothers and call them back to Wenxian; but after several months of thinking, I found that even if Pulling up the team, I'm not Ding Datou's opponent, and there is a monster living in Wenxian, so I don't dare to go. So I plan to go to Tianjin to try my luck, and come back empty-handed if it's a big deal. It's just a little toll, and it's nothing."

Crescent Moon has no confidence in Master Gu's future, but remembers another thing: "If we go far, won't the monsters and monsters catch up?"

Master Gu raised his hand and scratched his head: "It should be!"

Crescent Moon glanced at the basket: "I don't know if Wuxin is willing to go, and even if we save his train tickets, we still have nothing to worry about! The food we eat now is all given from Taoist temples. What!"

Master Gu didn't dare to look at the basket, so he waved his hand directly: "It doesn't matter if he wants it or not, anyway, he hasn't said no now! As for Pantang, I'll find Chenzi in the afternoon and see if I can borrow it from him. Some money. In short, I have to act quickly, or else it will drag on for a long time, who knows what will happen to Master? If it becomes a big maggot half a person's height in two days, how can we bring it to the train ?"

Crescent Moon is young and curious. According to her will, she is willing to go to Tianjin to open her eyes—of course, she can go, or not. But when Master Gu saw that she didn't object, just after lunch, he really went out to find the dust.

Master Gu had only been out for more than an hour and came back with more than 200 yuan. He entered the Crescent Moon's house with a smile on his face, and he sincerely praised Chu Chenzi: "The old man is really righteous, he says he will take the money, and he will not let me pay it back. I have long seen that he is not a mortal, That big man, that long hair, that temperament, that style, it's a pity that he has become a monk, or he must be a high-ranking official!"

Crescent Moon saw that he was making a fuss, and couldn't help but feel refreshed: "Did he ask about Wuxin?"

Master Gu replied loudly: "I asked, I said I don't know."

Crescent Moon was a little excited, raised her hand and touched the bun behind her head, feeling a little embarrassed: "Then let's really go to Tianjin? Who are you going to go to when you arrive in Tianjin?"

Master Gu waved his hand: "Don't worry about it, I'm not a big fool, can I count it in my heart?"

At night, Crescent Moon took Wuxin out and put it in a pot of warm vegetable soup. There was no oil in the soup. After soaking the soup until it was cold, she took Wuxin out and wiped it, then said to Master Gu, "If you are afraid of it, put it in my room. I watched it for a day, and now it is all over the place. I'm used to it."

Master Gu hesitated for a while, and agreed with the intention, but if he really agreed, it would be a breach of the agreement between himself and Wuxin. Reaching out his hand to pick up the basket, he bit his head and said, "No, I'm used to seeing it. Besides, who knows what he will be like tomorrow morning? It's fine if he looks good, but if he becomes worse than maggots... forget it. Well, let me take it away! I'll take the lead tomorrow morning, so I'll take a first look first."

Because it was agreed that I would go down the mountain to Chang'an County to board the train tomorrow, I got on the kang as soon as it got dark in the crescent moon. I wanted to go to bed and get up early, but tossed and turned, but couldn't sleep. Master Gu lay in the stinky quilt and pondered the general situation of the world, but also suffered from insomnia. The two of them didn't sleep until midnight, as if the sky was bright as soon as they closed their eyes.

Master Gu had big things in his heart and couldn't lie down. When he saw the window was white, he sat up and looked at the basket first. There was still a pillow towel on top of the basket. Master Gu stretched out his hand and pinched the corner of the pillow towel. His heart was pounding in his chest, and he didn't know what he would see next.

Gritting his teeth and ruthless, he violently lifted the pillowcase. Looking down and looking inward, he opened his eyes wide and suddenly felt nauseous.

The maggots in the basket have grown at least half a foot longer, their thin tails are gone, they are thick and plump from beginning to end, and they are no longer as smooth as they used to be. White hair, at first glance, it is a big caterpillar with alopecia areata!

Master Gu understands Wuxin's hidden worries, and admits that Wuxin is really unlovable at the moment. He stretched out his fingers to test the hardness of Baimao, and when he saw that Baimao didn't **** his hands, he pulled an unclean sheet, wrinkled his nose and stared, and rolled up Wuxin layer by layer.

Master Gu didn't let Crescent Moon look at Wuxin, but said, "It's growing very fast, and it looks the same as yesterday."

Crescent Moon has her hair neatly combed and her clothes neatly dressed. After taking the sheet roll sent by Master Gu, she put a small burden on her back and asked Master Gu, "Are you really going?"

Master Gu shook his head in high spirits: "Go!"
