The Heartless Mage Chapter 77: Intrigue
Wu Xin woke up early and dressed neatly after washing up. A glass mirror with a missing corner was glued to the wall of the room, and he looked left and right in the mirror. The sun has not yet entered his small room, so Xiaojian floated in front of the mirror and wanted to take a picture with him. However, after looking at it for a long time, there was only one Wuxin in the mirror.
He hugged Wuxin's thigh very affectionately and said, "Big brother, you look like a monster."
Wuxin is now so hungry that her skin is waxy white and her eyes are sunken. Biting his fingers and looking down at Xiaojian, he wished he could eat himself. Xiaojian raised his face to meet Wuxin's gaze. As the sun became stronger, his shadow became weaker and lighter - after all, he was just a kid. Although he had some inexplicable power, his power was ultimately limited.
Wuxin really has no feelings for him, so he told the truth without hesitation: "Oh, if you were alive, I could be your father."
Xiaojian didn't die voluntarily, so after listening to his words, the young heart felt sad. And Wuxin looked down at him regretfully, his eyebrows furrowed, and he was sincerely regretting.
After scrutinizing Xiaojian into a gray ball of sad light, he picked up his rolled up cloth cover without heart, and went out without heart.
The apartment he lives in is on the third floor. He just went down to the second floor under the guise, and he felt cold, almost unbearable. As soon as he turned around and went back, he decided to change his clothes. A monk's robe on his body, which has been worn for several years, is as thin as a cicada's wings, and its only function is to cover his shame. Dressing up as a monk on weekdays is more suitable for him to survive; but today he has a clear purpose, and it seems that it does not matter if he abandons his status as a monk for the time being.
He took out the key and opened the door. He took out a half-new trousers from his travel bag and changed them. By the way, he also took out a few pieces of banknotes in the pocket of the jacket. Stepping out the door again, he ran downstairs in a hurry. Before starting his big business, he bought a bunch of stinky tofu from a small stall. The dried stinky tofu was smeared with a lot of chili sauce, and I ate it carefully as I walked, dyeing my lips and tongue bright red. At last, crossing the side street around the building, he sat down on the side of the road opposite the building's front door. Misheng was still wearing two pieces of stinky tofu, and he was not busy eating, so he spread his boneless guise on the ground beside him, showing that he was an all-rounder who counts fate and feng shui and also conquers demons.
Then he continued to eat stinky tofu until passersby covered their noses. The Ma family siblings endured the stench, quietly circled around him, and finally stopped far behind him.
Sai Wei and Sheng Yi both stayed up all night, with a few red pimples on their faces. They were thin, and their usual manners were unrestrained, and they could be regarded as weak Liu Fufeng; They held their shoulders and stretched their necks, like a pair of malnourished turtles, staring at Wuxin's back in panic. Wuxin was wearing a single shirt and single trousers, and she was extremely thin. Across a layer of clothes, you could see the shoulder blades with clear lines, and the bones protruded, like the remains of a pair of wings.
Sheng Yi slammed Sai Wei with her elbow and touched Sai Wei's ribs: "Sister, did you see that? He said he could hunt ghosts."
Savi scribbled wrapped in a thin leather jacket, raised his hand and touched the pimple on his face: "I saw it, but why does he look so miserable, like a begging flower?"
Shengyi said softly: "The masters are hidden."
Sai Wei shook his head in disapproval, feeling that the other party was too young, even if he kept it hidden, he had to hide it. According to her idea, she plans to ask her aunt for help. Aunt is an old lady, so she must have an idea; but the old lady is too enthusiastic, and once they are provoked, they can't easily get rid of them. They are seventeen or eighteen years old, and they can't bear to deal with the old lady.
Sheng Yi asked again: "Sister, do you want him? If you don't, just leave, I'm about to be killed by stinky tofu."
Saiwei wanted to leave, but before she took a step, Wuxin in the distance suddenly looked back at them. His face was very white, his eyebrows and eyes were dark, his lips were very red, and there was a smear of chili sauce on his face. Swallowing the last mouthful of stinky dried tofu with a blank face, he turned his back to the rising sun and the bustling road, and waved to the Ma siblings.
Sheng Yi is a person who has opinions and has no ideas. He pushed his elbow to Saiwei's ribs: "Sister, look, he asked us to come over!"
Savi couldn't be sure. Facing the unintentional gaze, she raised her hand and pointed at herself. Wuxin nodded, then smiled at her.
Wu Xin cleaned up quite well today. Although there is chili sauce on his face, he can still be classified as a handsome man. Seeing that his smile was quite moving, Saiwei made an autonomous movement with his feet and started to move forward automatically. Shengyi quickly followed, muttering all the way: "I just said try him, but you still don't listen. Look at him sitting downstairs, if he doesn't try, it's not for nothing. If he's a liar who eats **** , just spend two bucks to send him, it's not troublesome. Right? You have to go to your aunt, can you find it easily? When the old lady is in good spirits, who can send it off?"
Savi ignored him at all. Walking fast with thin legs, like an impatient egret, he stopped in front of Wuxin in three steps. Shengyi chased after him, and with Saiwei, they attacked and surrounded Wuxin in the middle. Wuxin raised his head as if he was sitting in a well watching the sky, and said directly: "I have something to say to you two, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
Savi licked his dry lips and was thinking about the answer, but Shengyi said, "Tell me! Let's listen!"
Wuxin smiled and said, "I see the two Yintangs darkened and unlucky, which is a sign of bad luck."
Sheng Yi slapped his thigh: "Oh, it's so embarrassing!" Then he looked up at Saiwei: "Sister, sister, do you hear me? I said he is reliable, but you still don't believe it."
It is rare for Saiwei to meet a beautiful man. Even if the beautiful man is a suspected beggar who sits on the roadside and eats stinky tofu, she has a little thought and tries to show a little inner beauty. However, Shengyi was so noisy that she was full of connotations that could not be released. She glanced at Seung Yi in dismay, and she continued to remain silent noncommittally.
Sheng Yi squatted in front of Wuxin, and continued to ask enthusiastically: "Then let's see, what bad luck did we have?"
Wuxin almost smelled Xiaojian from them, so she smiled confidently: "Probably the house is not clean?"
She nearly turned pale in shock, raised her hand and patted Saiwei's calf: "Sister, sister, what a god!" Then he asked Wuxin again: "Are you dirty? If there are no lice and fleas, I will Take you to our house. You gave us the ghost, and we will definitely thank you!"
Inadvertently, I rolled up the cloth cover and tucked it under the armpit, then stood up and said to the Ma family: "I'm not dirty, absolutely no lice and fleas."
In order to hold the two patrons, he also tugged at Shengyi's sleeves and collars to show him his arms and neck. Shengyi immediately asked Saiwei: "Sister, is he considered hygienic?"
Sawei got a headache from Shengyi's quarrel, so he replied without thinking: "Well, it's quite white."
As soon as the words came out, she regretted it because she felt that her style was too low. He didn't speak for a long time, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was speechless.
Wu Xin followed the Ma family into the building and took the elevator to the sixth floor. There is a maid in the apartment house. She comes and leaves early every day. She is responsible for cleaning and cooking. She only wanders around the back balcony and kitchen, and refuses to show up easily. In broad daylight, there are naturally no ghosts; so after a few words of conversation, Wuxin was invited to sit down in the living room and wait for the dark.
The broken bulbs of the chandeliers were removed, and the broken glass **** on the sofa was also cleaned up. The wool carpet was not easy to handle for a while, so it was simply removed. Shengyi regards Wuxin as the savior, dances to tell him about his fright night, and listens to Wuxin drinking hot orange water. I don't know what Shengyi had eaten in the morning, and the sweet and sour breath was hot from his mouth and nose; Saiwei was sitting on the side, changing his posture every minute, and he was not quiet for a moment. Wuxin was surrounded and felt very happy, so he kept smiling, claiming to be a lonely monk, because the temple was destroyed by war, so he wandered all the way.
Sai Wei has no interest in his identity, because whether he is a monk or a sage, he is not of the same class as her, and there is no marriage involved. But after all, he is a man, and he is a girl; people always have a good mind, and she knows that she is not very beautiful, so she especially wants to use her wisdom to make a blockbuster and leave a glimpse of the other party. The problem is that her intelligence is also very limited, which is really fatal!
Wuxin spent most of the day in Ma's apartment, during which he had lunch and dinner, and also had exquisite afternoon tea to enjoy. It was not dark and ghosts were not coming, so the three of them sat on the ground in front of the large glass window and played a small game of poker. Seeing that he was always losing, Saiwei played a little trick and deliberately shuffled his cards, trying to let him win a few rounds, but his tactics were too poor, and he was exposed as soon as he acted, and was defeated by Shengyi. Caught it right.
Severdon became angry at the time, imitating Master Ma's tone, and scolding old-fashioned: "You bastard, how dare you do it!"
Sheng Yi slammed the poker card on the ground: "You are only a minute older than me, what's the matter!"
Seeing that he dared to resist, Sai Wei immediately revealed his true face: "Well, you are a hoove, dare to talk hard with me!"
Sheng Yi heard the words "horse hoofs", and she was immediately stabbed at the pain point in her heart. She was sitting cross-legged, but now she squatted with her hands on the ground, eager to fight with Saiwei.
None of their siblings are fuel-efficient lamps. They have been the closest since they were young. They can't help but love and kill each other. Wuxin didn't know the inside story, I didn't expect that such a big person would do something, so I wanted to persuade him. And Saiwei was silent for nearly a day, and at this moment, he was too choked up. Kneeling up and taking off her leather jacket, she revealed the pink shirt inside. Orderly untied the cufflinks and rolled them up, revealing her slender wrists.
The two similar faces looked at each other, and they all refused to give in. Wuxin was about to squeeze forward to separate the two of them, but just when he was about to move, a cold wind suddenly swept over the heads of the three of them. It turned out that the sun had just sunk below the horizon. Although there was still a little light on the horizon, the yang qi had dissipated and the yin qi had risen. It was already night.
Since the chandelier blew out a light bulb, I dared not turn it on again, and the living room was illuminated by a wall lamp next to the door. The wall lamp is a decoration, and its brightness is very limited. Wuxin turned his head in the direction of the cold wind, and saw Xiaojian shadowy attached to the lamp, making faces at himself.
In the empty space when the Ma family siblings were confronting each other, Wuxin winked at Xiaojian. Xiaojian immediately understood, shaking his head and waving his tail over the wall lamp shade. The lights flickered suddenly, then went out completely.
The living room was quiet for a moment. Xiaojian happily passed by the Ma brothers and sisters, and loomed behind the curtains. What followed was two howls, and the Ma family sisters and brothers automatically fought for jade silk, like two violent ponies, and rushed into Wuxin's arms together. Wuxin subconsciously opened his arms and hugged them unexpectedly.
Both of them are thin, not thin enough for him to hug. The two heads were hunched over his chest, emitting the scent of overnight hair growth oil, eau de toilette, and vanishing cream. The three-in-one fragrance mixes the sweat and heat of the body, and the ingredients are very complicated, but because it is a young man, there is no other kind of clean and fresh, so it is complicated and complicated, and it does not make Wuxin feel dirty. It's been a long time since I hugged anyone firmly, and my unintentional arms increased slightly, feeling like I had won a lottery ticket.
"Don't be afraid!" He embraced a pair of soulless siblings in his arms: "I saw it!"
Then he let go of his hand just enough, stood up and shook the curtains. Xiaojian lowered his head from above as if exploring. Saiwei and Shengyi could see clearly and howled again immediately. At the same time, Wuxin has already winked upwards. Xiaojian understood, turned around and passed through the glass window, disappearing into the night sky.
Wuxin turned to the two brothers and sisters who were lying on the ground, put their hands behind their backs and said, "It escaped!"
Savi stammered and asked: "FuFuFu? Are you still coming back?"
Wuxin shook his head: "As long as I'm here, it won't dare to come back!"
Sheng Yi also said, "What if you were not there?"
Wuxin thought about it for a while, and then replied: "Otherwise, you can move!"
Sai Wei and Sheng Yi said in unison: "No, no, no money!"
Unintentionally sighed: "Oh, the little devil is the most difficult thing to deal with. If you want to eliminate it, it's not easy to do!"
Sawei and Shengyi listened to his words and activities, which clearly meant asking for a price, but they put down their hearts and prepared to negotiate with him seriously. Unexpectedly, before they could speak, the phone next door suddenly rang loudly, causing them to shiver together.
The bell rang fast, one after another without stopping. Saiwei and Shengyi got up and wanted to answer the phone, but they didn't have the guts. They looked at each other for a moment, and finally Saiwei ran to the next door, picked up the receiver and said "hello". Shengyi pricked up his ears, but did not hear the following.
After a minute at most, Saiwei walked out in a daze. Holding on to the wall and standing still, she said softly, "Shengyi, it's a long-distance call from eldest brother from Tianjin."
Sheng Yi is inexplicable: "What's the matter with him?"
Savi replied: "Mother is gone."
Sheng Yi blinked her eyes, as if she didn't understand. So Saiwei repeated what he said: "He said, my mother had a sudden illness and died this morning."
The "mother" in her mouth refers to their biological mother, the second aunt of the Ma family. As a mother, the second aunt is too lackluster to be a role model in the eyes of her children; but after all, her mother is a mother, so Sheng Yi froze when she heard it.
"Impossible." He said weakly, "Mother's health has always been good, why did she suddenly die? Impossible."
Then the two raised their sleeves, wiped their eyes, and cried together.
