The Heartless Mage Chapter 10: The young couple

Wuxin has not encountered war for a long time. I didn't expect the guns and guns to be so powerful now. Seeing the explosion of lightning bolts one after another on the street, he didn't dare to stop, he dragged the crescent moon and ran into the dark. Crescent moon is better than having long legs, big feet and good health. No matter how fast she runs without intention, she can run as fast as she can without pulling her hind legs at all. In a hurry, he escaped a few streets without knowing, and Wuxin began to meet the soldiers from a distance.

Crescent Moon had experienced several military disasters when she was a child, and was most afraid of Qiu Ba's crossing the border to cause trouble. Holding the small burden tightly to her chest with one hand, she gasped and shouted, "The soldier is going to **** the shop!"

The more noisy the street, the quieter the surrounding houses. The lights were turned off in every household, and the courtyard gates were closed in silence to be slaughtered. Wuxin simply took Crescent Moon into a deep alley, and the alley was winding in all directions. He finally stopped under a dark old tree and squatted down with his arms around Crescent Moon. Crescent Moon's sideburns were wet with sweat, and the strands were stuck to her ears. She exhaled hot air from her nose and mouth, her eyes widened in horror, trying to hold her breath, not even a wild cat and a wild dog dared to be alarmed. Wuxin's voice sounded in her ears, and Wuxin told her, "Don't be afraid. Soldiers are killing people and setting fires on the streets. They won't come here if they want nothing in the small alleys."

Crescent Moon nodded angrily, knowing that she was still safe. She shrank back into Wuxin's arms subconsciously, wishing she could hide under the old tree. There was a row of gunshots in the distance, and she seemed to be shaken by some kind of shock, and suddenly found Wuxin too quiet.

What kind of quiet method, she can't tell, in a word, she just thinks he is quiet. Her breathing gradually eased, and she gently approached Wuxin in the dark. After a wild run, her face was so hot that it was on fire, and she needed a little cool breeze to blow.

She waited calmly for two or three minutes. During the two or three minutes, Wuxin didn't catch a breath!

Crescent Moon's hair suddenly stood up, and when she was about to ask questions, Wuxin suddenly coughed in a low voice, and then yawned again.

"It's over!" Wuxin's breath came alive, and he whispered in the ear of Crescent Moon: "If Master Gu dies in the mutiny tonight, I will be doing him a waste of time."

When he said this, he still cuddled with Crescent Moon affectionately, but turned his body slightly to prevent Crescent Moon from resting on his chest.

Crescent Moon broke into another layer of perspiration, and she felt relaxed and relaxed, thinking that she was so scared and exhausted that she even suspected her Wuxin identity. If you have no intention to eat, drink and bask in the sun, is it still a ghost?

"Okay!" She patted the small burden in her arms: "That's enough—"

She forcibly swallowed the next half of the words. She wanted to say, "This is enough for us to buy a home", but how could the big girl take the initiative to say this? As soon as she twisted her thin flowing shoulders, she changed the subject: "Don't hug me."

Wuxin smiled softly, and put his arms around her even tighter. Crescent Moon ignored him, but unexpectedly, his shoulders suddenly sank, but he was the one who pushed his head on the pillow with his head tilted.

Crescent Moon couldn't stand his little orphan-like scumbag the most, as if no one in the world would want him except himself. As if nothing had happened, she rubbed her head against her neck unintentionally, and the short layer of stubble made her feel distressed.

The two ducked under the tree for a long time, until the sky was dimly lit and the outside of the alley was completely quiet, then they got up and tried to walk out.

On the street is a tragic image of the aftermath of the catastrophe. All the decent business houses have been damaged, and black smoke can still be seen from the broken walls. The corpse lay openly in the middle of the road, more righteous than the living; the living became ghosts, wandering out quietly, some carrying the corpse, and some turning over the rubble.

Worry not to let Crescent Moon look around, afraid that she would be afraid, so he led her forward quickly. No matter who wins or loses in the mutiny at night, he doesn't care. He squatted with his arms around Crescent Moon all night, and now he just wanted to go away and fly high and live with Crescent Moon.

The gates of the city were wide open, and the inspections were strict. Crescent Moon kept his mind, took out a small gold bar from the bag in advance and hid it on his body, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, and smeared himself into a disgraced appearance. When they arrived at the city gate, the small bag was opened by the soldiers and checked. Of course, there were only a few clothes and nothing else.

Out of Wenxian, there are two roads, one road leads to Pingzhen, where Crescent Moon's home is, so naturally he must not go there. The two discussed it, and finally decided to go to the neighboring Chang'an County. Chang'an County is even more prosperous than Wen County. Such a lively place, with all three religions and nine styles, can naturally accommodate a couple of them.

With strides on the road, the two walked for an hour in one breath. Seeing that a small restaurant appeared on the road ahead, Crescent Moon took out a little private money that she had brought when she left home. Although it only added up to more than one yuan, it was enough to eat and drink all the way.

The so-called restaurant is just a table and chairs placed under the pergola. Wuxin and Crescent sat in the corner, ordered two bowls of noodle soup and a drawer of steamed buns, listening to the diners chatting while eating. It turned out that the mutiny in Wenxian County was not over yet, and Master Gu and Colonel Zhang were still at a stalemate in the city.

Wuxin has no opinion or affection for Master Gu, and Crescent Moon is almost annoying him, so she doesn't care about Master Gu's life or death, and leaves when she's full.

From Wenxian to Chang'an County, there are dozens of miles in the middle. There is a very large town between the two counties, called Zhuzui Town. Although the name is not pleasant, it is still a famous place next to the main traffic road. Wuxin and Crescent originally intended to have a full meal in the town so that they could reach Chang'an County before dark; however, they entered Zhuzui Town in the afternoon, and they did not come out until night.

There is a house for rent by a family in the town. It is a row of three brick houses, glass windows, and a small courtyard surrounded by a fence. Apart from the remote location, there is nothing wrong with it. I stumbled upon this place by accident, and I fell in love with it at a glance. Crescent Moon is actually looking forward to a home more than Wuxin. Wuxin said yes, and she followed suit. So in one afternoon, the gold bars were exchanged for 950 oceans, not only the house was rented, but also the pots and pans, rice, noodles, meat and vegetables were also purchased. The landlord recognized that they were a young couple who eloped, so they were very acquainted and didn't ask much.

There are three rooms, only the main room in the middle has the door open. The main room is connected to two bedrooms from east to west. The layout and size are the same, and a heated kang is built under the window. The main room was empty, with a large stove on each side of the door. The crescent moon was broken, and the two large stoves were all lit, and they were cooking while steaming rice. The brand-new spatula was knocking on the edge of the pot, and she felt a kind of lawless joy in her heart - if she hadn't escaped at the beginning, she would have entered the door of Ma's house earlier! Being a concubine for old man Ma, and being a serious wife for Wuxin, it is clear at a glance which life is better or worse.

The two of them ate a sumptuous bowl of rice with seven dishes and eight bowls. Without saying a word, Crescent Moon went to wash the dishes after cleaning up, and all the work did not need to intervene unintentionally. When the house was neatly tidied up, Wuxin had already spread the quilt on the West Wing Kang, and shouted, "Crescent Moon, come to sleep!"

Crescent Moon entered in response, but stood in front of the kang and said to Wuxin sternly: "We haven't gotten married yet, so we can't sleep on a kang in a daze, and when I think about it later, I don't know where. It’s a bridal chamber. Anyway, I’m here with you. You know what I’m thinking about you. Tomorrow, let’s look through the almanac and pick a good day, and we don’t need to disturb anyone. You and I will change into new clothes and put them back together. Just hang up the firecrackers."

Wanxin squatted on the kang and pushed the quilt to the side: "Then let's just sleep on each side like in Wenxian, okay?"

Crescent Moon let out an "Oops", both impatient and laughing, then bent down and picked up a set of quilts: "What are you in a hurry? Can I still run in the middle of the night?"

Without waiting for the unintentional retention, she hurried to the East Room. Wuxin didn't chase him—in fact, even if he slept on a kang, he wouldn't move the crescent moon tonight. Sooner or later, he can't hide his details, and he can't really touch the crescent moon until the truth is revealed.

The room gradually became quiet, and the oil lamps in the east and west rooms also went out one after another. Wuxin didn't expect that he would settle down so easily, and he couldn't sleep with joy. Lying on the kang tossing and turning for a while, he finally sat up and wanted to see the moon through the window.

Unexpectedly, just as he approached the window, he suddenly found someone standing outside the courtyard gate!

The people are not big, and the door is not high. If it weren't for the sparse fences, Wuxin would not be able to see it. The little man had two pigtails hanging down his shoulders. He must be a little girl, but his clothes were in a mess, and he even wore a man's short coat. Wuxin couldn't see her face clearly, only to see her standing motionless in the cold moonlight, facing the gate of her own courtyard.

She didn't move, Wuxin didn't move, just stared at her quietly. After a long time like this, the little girl turned around and left with a graceful and graceful posture, as if she had seen enough. In the moonlight, I could see clearly, and I saw a small shoe with a bright red bottom embroidered with gold flowers flashing among her ragged and messy trousers.

Wuxin watched the little girl go farther and farther, because she didn't know where she was, so she lay back thoughtfully. He stretched out his hand and took out the yellow talisman from his pocket. The yellow talisman had already been completely dry. He unfolded the yellow talisman and looked at it, but he still couldn't understand it.

If he was alone, he wouldn't care what happened; but a crescent moon was still asleep in the east room, clutching the yellow talisman and thinking and thinking, the alarm bell sounded in his heart.
