The Heartless Mage Chapter 37: Hunger

Master Gu squatted in the kitchen and poked the stove. No matter how much he stabbed it, it couldn't catch a flame. Instead, it filled the kitchen with thick smoke. He didn't know how to do housework, and the more he stabbed it, the worse he got, and finally he escaped with a shocking cough.

The window of the west wing slammed, and he had to startle the crescent moon. Crescent Moon was soundly asleep. At this time, he hurriedly got up and looked out. He saw a thin layer of frost on the glass window, and the yard outside the window was blurred. It was not the scene of the past; Shout out to her.

Crescent Moon was startled, thinking that there was a fire in the house, so she quickly put on a cotton jacket and pushed the door out: "What's wrong?"

Master Gu was choked by the smoke and burst into tears: "What's the matter with the stove? No fire but smoke?"

Crescent Moon is inexplicable: "What are you doing with the stove in the middle of the night? Are you hungry?"

Master Gu pointed back with his thumb: "It's Master - Master is shivering, maybe it's cold. You quickly go to a pot of hot water and give him a dip!"

Crescent Moon heard this and ran to the kitchen as soon as she twisted her body.

Crescent Moon successfully lit a fire, and then sat a large pot of water on the stove: "He can shiver?"

Master Gu stood aside with his arms in his sleeves: "He still hums. If he doesn't hum at night, I can't think of going to see him."

Crescent Moon turned to look at him immediately: "What's it like now?"

Master Gu said thoughtfully: "It's a bit like a human..."

Crescent Moon was inexplicably excited: "Let me take a look!"

Master Gu felt embarrassed: "Want to see it? But... Anyway, let me tell you in advance that although he is a bit human, he is still one part human and nine parts monster. If you have to watch it, so do I. I can't stop you, but after watching it, you are not allowed to cry or make trouble."

Crescent Moon stretched out her hand to try the temperature of the water in the pot, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm more daring than the average gentleman, how can I still be afraid of him?"

Even so, but when the pot of water is hot enough to be slightly hot, Crescent Moon still feels unsteady in her heart, and imagines many terrifying images in her mind. Darren Gu was very strong, he picked up the big iron pot from the stove and walked out. She followed behind, her heart beating one step at a time, counting her days, she hadn't seen Wuxin's face for a long time.

Master Gu was walking in a long-paced manner. Seeing that he was about to reach the door, he kept walking and gave an order at the same time: "Crescent Moon, open the door for me!"

Crescent Moon agreed, and was about to run forward, but unexpectedly, Mr. Gu slipped, only to hear an earth-shattering loud noise, he fell on his back on the frozen urine in front of the door, a pot full of The warm water was all buckled on his head. Crescent Moon quickly carried the pot with one hand and helped the person with the other. Fortunately, Mr. Gu was rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so he was not afraid of falling, and got up as soon as he turned over.

Master Gu's head was covered with water, and he wanted to scold the street when he opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word. He suddenly remembered that he threw the urine himself. Seeing that he was fine, Crescent Moon opened the door and walked into the house. Master Gu shook the water on his head and followed with a bitter face.

The lights in the room are bright, and Crescent Moon stretches out one hand to the small blanket on the tank, and hesitantly turns to Master Gu: "I...I watched it!"

Master Gu was about to answer, but before he could open his mouth, a sound suddenly came from the tank, like a moan and a sigh, like Wuxin, but a little softer than Wuxin's voice: "Well... "

Crescent Moon lifted the blanket away like a needle prick. Stretching her head and looking inward, she stiffened her posture without saying a word. And Master Gu stared at her nervously, for fear that she would be frightened.

After five or six minutes, Crescent Moon finally raised her head. After taking a long sigh, she smiled at Master Gu: "You keep saying that he is ugly, and I am so scared that I don't even dare to think about him. Now that I look at him, it is not ugly!"

Master Gu's eyes widened: "Isn't it ugly?"

Crescent Moon rolled up her sleeves: "Isn't it just a white monkey? I can raise it too! Master Gu, do me a favor, get him out of the tank, and I'll serve him in the future!"

Master Gu was stunned: "No—did you see clearly? That's called a white-haired monkey? Don't put gold on his face!"

Crescent Moon shook his head in disapproval: "He looks so much more beautiful than I thought. Come and see how complete he is with big heads and small arms!"

Master Gu took a step forward, looked at Crescent Moon's expression carefully, and found that her face was full of sincerity, so she sighed secretly, thinking that it is true that a lover sees Xi Shi, and Crescent Moon does not distinguish between beauty and ugliness.

Master Gu gathered up his courage, bent down and stretched out his hands into the tank, holding them under Wuxin's armpits. Slowly bringing it up, Wuxin showed its full shape in the light. Crescent Moon looked at its face with wide eyes, only the cheeks and chin had taken shape, and the bridge of the nose was bulging in the center. Below the bridge of the nose were two slightly invisible pores, which might be the nostrils in the future. Wuxin's whole face is covered with layers of white hair that stick to the skin, except that the eye sockets are very smooth and sunken, and the thin layer of transparent eyelids show blue halos. I don't know if there are eyeballs inside.

From the neck down, it is a bony body, with two arms like shedding wings, curled up close to the sides of the body, with a tuft of white hairs pointed at the wrists, and there is no shadow of the hands; The lower body is even more undewormed. Although the existence of the hip bone can be vaguely seen, there is still a worm tail down.

Crescent Moon looked at him like a monkey just now, but looking at him now, he feels that there is still a gap between him and the monkey. Master Gu didn't think it was strange, he didn't dislike it at all, he held it to the side of the bed and put it away. He stretched out his hand and pinched its worm's tail, and Master Gu saw that Crescent Moon's face was a little wrong, so he comforted her and said, "Come and touch, it has two new long bones growing down from its hip bone, and in a few days, its tail will be able to It's split into two legs."

Crescent Moon calmed down and said, "Master Gu, move the tank to my room first!"

Master Gu was startled: "Ah?"

Crescent Moon said: "I'm really not afraid. I wasn't afraid when it looked like a maggot, but now it looks like a human, but I'm afraid instead?"

Master Gu can't compete with Crescent Moon for Wuxin, Crescent Moon is willing to take care of it, and he is happy to be at leisure; but as Crescent Moon's eldest brother, he really doesn't agree with Crescent Moon to get Wuxin over early.

He moved the big water tank helplessly, and he worked hard in the dark. And Crescent Moon grabbed Master Gu's quilt and wrapped Wuxin, like carrying a bag of rice noodles, she carried Wuxin and left.

Master Gu placed the large water tank in the corner of the west wing, and then felt that he was done. He went back to the room with the quilt to sleep, and used the crescent moon to chop wood and boil water again. On the morning of the next day, he sat in Crescent Moon's house and nibbled melon seeds, and saw Crescent Moon wrapped Wuxin round with two quilts. At first glance, he thought she was making face on the bed.

"Haha!" He happily spit out the skin of the sweet potato seeds: "How is it?"

Crescent Moon sat cross-legged on the bed with a radiant face: "Good boy!"

Master Gu laughed twice, thinking that fish would find fish, shrimp would find shrimp, and the old monster would find a silly girl.

Crescent Moon has something to do, and turns around Wuxin alone every day. Master Gu was at leisure, and continued to wait for the old coach to return from Baoding. His fat friend sent a messenger to send some silk and satin for him to make clothes. He didn't plan to find a tailor, so he went straight into the west wing with the material in his hand: "Crescent Moon—"

Crescent Moon knelt on one leg on the bed, turned around to look at him, pinched the index finger of his left hand with his right hand, and the fingertips had condensed large red droplets of blood. Seeing the fabric in Master Gu's hand at a glance, Crescent Moon's eyes lit up: "Yo, what kind of fabric?"

Master Gu put the satin on the table next to him: "What happened to your hand?"

Crescent Moon was angry and smiled: "That little guy who suffered the knife grew out of his mouth in one night. I just put my hand into the bed and touched it, and it was a mouthful of my finger!"

Master Gu is very curious: "I have teeth?"

"Yes, but it's amazing. It's like a knife, and you see blood in one bite."

Master Gu was interested, he stepped forward and lifted the quilt, and then shouted happily: "Huh! Legs are now! Hands have grown too?" No nails, otherwise you have to scratch people!"

The crescent moon forgot the pain, and leaned forward to show Master Gu Wuxin's face: "Look, it's exactly the same as before. When the white hair fades, it will look even better."

Master Gu looked down and found that the shape of the face was indeed the same as before, the bridge of the nose was higher and straighter, the lips were angular, but the eyes were not open, but the underside of the eyelids were faintly raised, and it was obvious that the eyeballs had grown completely. .

Master Gu was very happy, looking from the top to the bottom, and finally broke his unintentional leg and smiled: "Hahaha, the **** and eggs are coming out!"

Although Crescent Moon is a little woman who has become a pro, her face flushed when she heard his laughter, and she still felt unable to answer. Just at the moment of embarrassment, a voice suddenly came from the room: "Hungry."

Master Gu's laughter stopped abruptly, staring down at Wuxin with Crescent Moon. Wuxin's limbs slowly curled up, lazily turned over to face them, and said at the same time: "hungry."

Crescent Moon said softly: "Wuxin, are you hungry? Want to eat?"

Inadvertently replied: "Yeah."

Crescent Moon screamed and cheered. Leaning over and hugging Wuxin fiercely, she crackled and kissed more than a dozen times on his white-haired head, and scolded in a weeping voice, "You little heartless, you bite me when you're hungry? You wait. Come on, I'll cook for you, and I'll clean up after you're full!"

Crescent Moon hastily boiled a pot of noodle soup with a lot of potatoes and meat in it. After putting the soup in the yard to warm, she carried the soup pot into the room.

Squatting in front of the bed with the soup bowl in her hand, she asked Wuxin to come over to eat. Master Gu sat on the side smoking, drinking tea, and eating melon seeds, smiling slightly as he watched Wuxin stick his head into the basin, and even ate and drank without breathing. His belly swelled quickly, and finally he licked the soup bowl with his tongue, and suddenly bit Crescent Moon's hand. Crescent Moon was startled, and then found out that he wasn't really biting, but that his teeth snapped lightly, frightening people.

Put down the soup bowl and twisted a towel. Crescent Moon supported his head and wiped his face. His limbs are thin and curled, with a big belly bulging in the middle. The white hair on the belly is sparse, and the roots are crooked; the bones of his body are not fixed in shape, the shoulders are slumped, and the neck is quite long.

Lord Gu was moved when he saw this, and couldn't help but ask Crescent Moon: "You say, with his current virtue, we are the only ones in the world who like him, right?"

Although Crescent Moon loves him, she still has basic rationality, so she nods her head in agreement: "Yes!"
