The Heartless Mage Chapter 11: Uninvited guests
At dawn the next day, Crescent Moon woke up.
She was not alarmed or careless, picked up her broom and swept the house and yard. The pile of chopping wood that I bought yesterday was neatly stacked in the corner of the yard. In the bamboo basket next to the chopping wood were the cucumbers and radishes I bought yesterday. It was still very fresh after a night.
There was a fire in the stove, and the big iron pot soon made a sound of gurgling. As usual, Crescent Moon was about to cook porridge, but after thinking about it, she scooped out a lot of water in the pot - now she is the hostess of the family, no one is watching her and taking care of her, she can Put more rice and less water as she likes, and give her man dry rice.
As soon as Wuxin left the bedroom in the morning, clean water was placed in the yard for him to wash. When he returned to the main room, the old wooden table left by the landlord was also propped up, with two bowls of rice and a plate of cucumber salad on it. Crescent Moon entered the Westinghouse, was kneeling on the kang and folded the quilt. She thought that she closed the door and slept for the night, but the room didn't smell at all. From her down, the Li family was all boys, the stinky feet and stinky farts of her younger brothers. But she was really used to it and had enough.
Xiakang went out and went back to the main room, she found Wuxin sitting upright at the table, smiling at herself without speaking, with a white face that was very beautiful. The crescent moon pretends to be unconcerned on the surface, but she is too beautiful in her heart. She walked to Wuxin and sat down, she lowered her eyes and stared at the rice, Wuxin's shadow appeared in her heart, she faced his own heart, and Shi was unwilling to look at him carefully.
After breakfast, the two went out side by side to buy the lack of applications. Crescent Moon's cheeks were filled with two blushes that seemed to be either on or off, and she always seemed to be suffering from the heat, but the weather was not too hot, and there was no sweat on her forehead. There are so many things to buy that it's almost impossible to describe them all at once. Crescent Moon plans to go to the cloth shop first and buy cloth to make new clothes; however, Wuxin has another idea: "If you are a serious marriage, you must have a few pieces of jewelry to be decent!"
Crescent Moon stopped: "Jewelry is not good for eating or drinking, is it not all the same?"
Wunxin didn't listen to her and dragged her into the silver building with a smile. The two fought a lawsuit in the silver building for a long time, and finally Crescent chose a pair of small gold earrings among the ready-made jewelry. Unintentionally too little, not letting her go: "We have money, let's pick a few more!"
Crescent Moon was silent for a while, and finally lowered her head and said, "If you are really interested, buy me another pair of bracelets. I don't like rings and necklaces, but I like bracelets."
A moment later, the two of them left the silver building, with gold earrings on the crescent earlobes and gold bracelets on their wrists. On the road leading to the cloth shop, Crescent Moon told Wuxin: "Originally, my mother had a pair of gold bracelets, which were given to her as a dowry by my grandmother. My mother said that when I grew up, she would pass the bracelets to me. I was seven years old. When my mother died, my father turned the bracelet into a necklace and two rings for my stepmother to wear."
Wuxin knew that Crescent Moon would definitely not have an easy life at her parents' house, and the parents who could give her to the old man as a concubine would probably not treat her kindly on weekdays.
Crescent Moon lowered her head and turned the gold bracelet on her wrist, and said, "I will have a girl in the future. When the girl grows up, I will let her take my bracelet and pass it on to my granddaughter in the future. "
Wanxin silently held her wrist, the wrist was round and fleshy, making the bracelet not very loose. He admits that he's being too selfish—Crescent Moon has never known his secret until now.
His seeds are dead, no matter how rich the land of the crescent moon is, it is impossible to give birth to the seedlings of life. The crescent moon bracelet can only be worn by herself, and there will be no more girls and granddaughters to inherit it.
There is only one cloth shop in Zhuzui Town, and the goods in the cloth shop are quite complete, except for the lack of bright red cloth, jujube red and peach red are available. Crescent Moon wants to sew a bright red top as a wedding dress. A serious bride must use bright red. But the red cloth always takes five days to arrive. Crescent Moon counted the days, thinking that he still had a lot of work to do, and it would be nothing to wait for five days, so he pulled out a few pieces of fabrics needed, and the two went out to continue shopping.
The two went home in the afternoon, and in the evening, crescent moon and even salted radishes were pickled into the new jar. Before eating, she called Wuxin into the East Room to measure his feet, so that they could make new shoes for him. Wuxin sat happily on the kang, with both legs stretched straight forward, and a pair of bare feet were neatly placed out, looking like a flatterer. Crescent Moon held a wooden ruler in one hand, holding back a smile to measure the size of him, and found Wuxin's feet very clean. Wuxin claimed to be an orphan, and was picked up by the old monk to be raised in the temple; Crescent Moon believed that the old monk must be a civilized person, and he should educate Wuxin to pay more attention to hygiene.
After measuring my feet, I also measured my body. Crescent Moon lowered her head and used a wooden ruler to measure from Wuxin's ankle upwards, memorizing the dimensions one by one in her mouth. Wuxin's legs are long and straight, his waist and abdomen are tightened, his chest is wide, and his shoulders are upright and imposing. Crescent Moon was so happy in his heart that he was hurt to death.
After dinner, Crescent Moon lit a small oil lamp beside the kang, and used the light to help Wuxin's soles. A lamp is like a bean, and the light is limited, so Wuxin squatted in the dark corner by the window, talking to Crescent Moon one by one. Taking the soles of the shoes is a labor of strength. Crescent Moon holds the big needle and pulls the thread so hard that he has not seen much results after taking it for a long time; out the window.
Crescent Moon wiped the glass window again in the afternoon, and it was exceptionally transparent. There was no one outside the courtyard gate, only a wild dog Shi Shiran passed by.
Crescent Moon yawned and wrapped the needle and thread around the sole of her shoe. Looking back at Wuxin, she said softly, "It's time to go to bed, go back to the house."
Wuxin hesitated for a moment, then said: "Can you make a purse? I have a peace charm that I want to carry on my body."
Crescent Moon immediately got off the kang to find her small bag, opened it and found a small embroidered purse: "No need to do it, I have it." Then she handed the purse forward to Wuxin: "Isn't it nice? Or I embroidered it last year!"
Inadvertently took out the yellow talisman from his pocket, folded it, stuffed it into a small purse and tightened his mouth. Seeing that Crescent Moon hung his purse around his neck, he calmly got off the kang, put on his shoes, and went back to his room.
Crescent Moon didn't think much, and blew the lamp to sleep. And Wuxin returned to the Westinghouse and waited for a long time. Seeing that there was no one outside the hospital, he also fell asleep.
After dawn, Crescent Moon gets up early as usual. After grooming, she entered the courtyard. She was about to take two eggs from the basket and fry a plate, but before she could bend over, she heard the courtyard door rang.
The sound is very soft, two hesitant "snacks". She straightened her waist and looked over, because she had no relatives or friends in Zhuzui Town, so she shuddered, fearing that her family would be chasing after her. But after a closer look through the fence, she was relieved that it was a little man in rags.
She walked over and opened the courtyard door. She believed that the other party was a little beggar, but when she looked down at the other party, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment - what a beautiful girl!
The little man is one head shorter than her, and like her, he has two big braids, and his body is dirty, but his face is as white as jade, with two eyebrows of suitable shades, and a pair of eyes that are full of autumn water. The two thin pink lips are very tender. Looking up at the crescent moon, she said in a thin voice, "Sister, I'm hungry, can you give me something to eat?"
Crescent moon can't tell her age, she is eleven or twelve, and she is thirteen or fourteen. She is the age when a flower is about to bloom. It looks really pitiful and cute. He quickly put her in, and Crescent moved a small bench to let her sit in the yard, and asked, "What about your adults?"
The little man raised his face and shook his head at her. His watery eyes always seemed to have some tears in his eyes: "The war in my hometown... My father and my mother are gone."
Crescent Moon saw that she was a pain in the ass, but after hearing that she was even worse off than herself, she went back to the main room and wanted to take out hot steamed buns from the pot for her to eat. And the little man swept her back, then lowered his eyes, and his eyes turned to the Westinghouse window.
The unintentionally pale face clings to the back of the glass!
The little man raised his thick black eyelashes, and then turned to the crescent moon that came out. Taking the hot steamed buns handed over by Crescent Moon with both hands, she stood up in a soft voice to thank her, and then like all starving big children, she hurriedly stuffed the steamed buns into her mouth. Crescent Moon really wanted to bring her into the main room to sit and sit, but she thought she was too dirty, for fear that she might have lice. Looking down at the gobbling little man, she sighed, thinking that she could feed her a full meal today, but how will she live in the future? I don't know if anyone in the town is willing to have a child bride. She is so old that she can be a daughter-in-law without raising her. If a good family is willing to take her in, it will be a way of life for her.
The steamed buns made by the crescent moon are very big, and the little man didn't finish a single steamed bun, so he walked out in a coat.
While busy, Crescent Moon introduced him the origin of the villain. He washed his face and rinsed his mouth without listening, and did not look at the villain at a glance. The little man also curled up into a ball and ate the steamed buns like a gas bag.
Wuxin took a new towel from Crescent Moon, wiped his face with a sigh of relief, then picked up the water basin and splashed the water on the ground behind the little man. He recognized that the little man was the little girl who had appeared outside the courtyard gate the night before. The rags have not changed, but the red embroidered shoes on his feet are gone.
Putting the basin back on the washstand in the main room, he suddenly lost his mind. Kick the kid out? I'm afraid that from now on, the other party will be dark and bright, but it will be unfavorable; let the villain stay? He was just about to spend a few days with Crescent Moon, why did he leave something of unknown origin?
Wu Xin has a very bad feeling about the little man, even though the little man is sitting in broad daylight, there is no evil spirit.
Wu Xin has always believed in her own feelings, and she has a premonition that the villain will definitely stay.
