The Heartless Mage Chapter 8: Love Story

In the hot afternoon, Master Gu ordered the orderly to put a small kang table on the large kang in the west wing. Sitting cross-legged on the kang, he picked up the teapot and poured out three cups of cold Biluochun, then took out a small bright gold bar from his pocket, and threw it on the table with a thud.

Wuxin also got on the kang with bare feet, and asked Crescent Moon to come and sit. Crescent Moon didn't want to drink tea around a table with two men, so she sat quietly on the corner of the kang, and lowered her head to play with two 90% new satin handkerchiefs, wanting to see if she could sew a good purse with them come out. Wuxin picked up the teacup and took a sip, and found that there was sugar in the tea, which was sweet and fragrant, so he took the initiative to take a cup, turned around and brought it to Crescent Moon.

Crescent Moon said nothing, but as if attracted, a pair of eyes involuntarily aimed at him. When she suddenly saw a small pale white wound across his palm, she remembered it immediately, thinking that when Master Gu went out, she would have to go and show it to him.

She didn't speak, and Wuxin didn't speak either. She crawled back to the kang table on all fours and sat opposite Master Gu. Seeing that no one cared about his gold bar, Master Gu stretched out his hand and pushed it towards Wuxin: "Thank you, keep it!"

Wuxin originally wanted to tell a short story after dinner, but now that the storytelling stage is set, he is not in a hurry. Glancing at the gold bar, he said calmly, "A small yellow croaker is not worth ten thousand oceans!"

Master Gu has always used swords and guns to reason, and he was very afraid two days ago, let alone 10,000 oceans, he would agree to it; The panic in my heart dissipated, and I couldn't help but rise in nature, eager to try to default. With a big smile at Wuxin, he opened his mouth and replied: "Hum, this commander's money is not from the wind, it's bright and full of real gold, can you take as much as you want?"

Wuxin looked at him with a gloomy look on his face: "Master Gu, are you going to break your promise?"

Without waiting for Master Gu's answer, Wuxin closed his eyes and pulled the sleeve of his right arm. He dipped his right index finger in the tea and scribbled on the table, while muttering in his mouth. Seeing this, Master Gu was taken aback: "Hey? What are you doing?"

With a sullen face, he squeezed out a response from his teeth: "I'll curse you to death!"

Master Gu immediately stretched out two big slaps, grabbing from left and right and grasping Wuxin's hand: "Don't, don't, I'm just kidding with you! To be honest, my money is in my concubine's small mansion. , I'll go get it at night, and I'll give you nine more small yellow croakers, if you lie, you will be struck by lightning!"

Inadvertently opened his eyes and pulled out his right hand from Master Gu's hands. Wiping the water on the table with his palm, he picked up the gold bar and climbed back to Crescent Moon, and delivered the gold bar directly to Crescent Moon: "You keep it."

Then he turned around and climbed back to the table and sat down again. He slapped the table with a smile: "It turns out that Master Gu is playing with me! Haha, Master Gu, you are really witty."

Master Gu grinned and smiled bitterly, thinking that I didn't spend 10,000 yuan to buy the house. Clearing his throat in embarrassment, he changed the subject uneasily: "Master, didn't you say you want to tell us a little story? Tell us, I've been thinking about it all the time!"

Wuxin nodded: "Okay, the story is not long, please listen carefully to Mrs. Gu and Crescent Moon. The story is about a hundred years ago, a small Beijing official, surnamed Yue, was framed , was demoted to Wenxian by the imperial court. The Beijing official had a young daughter named Qiluo, who often talked about her past life when she was young, and said it very truthfully, and her family was horrified, so they all didn't like her very much. I have grown up a little, but I don't mention much about my previous life, but my temperament has become naughty. There is only one little girl in the family and she is the best. When Jingguan came to Wenxian, Qiluo was already thirteen years old. The daughters of the Hiyue family took the big carriage to the temple outside the city to offer incense, and Qiluo met a Duan family Saburo. Saburo was handsome, Qiluo was beautiful, and the two met eyes. After returning to the city, Qiluo and Saburo tried their best to meet each other. After many encounters, love gradually became life-and-death. However, the Duan family personally went to the door to propose marriage to the Yue family, but the Beijing official refused, because the Duan family was poor and the two sides could not match. Since the marriage failed, Qiluo secretly made an agreement with Saburo , if they cannot live together, they will die together. One night, Qiluo went out privately to meet Saburo, and the two went to a secluded place, and each took a knife to wipe his neck. Who knows that Saburo really cut it with one knife, but Qiluo was born. She was timid and refused to do anything. After Saburo died, Qiluo fled home alone, and only told the little maid about it. After a quiet year, the family members of Yue's family went to offer incense as usual. I found out that both Qiluo and the little maid were lost!"

Speaking of this, Wuxin paused and asked, "You two, what are your comments?"

Master Gu opened his mouth first: "The Duan family has a son who died, so let's not make a sound? Duan Saburo said that he would die, and he didn't leave a word for the family?"

After Master Gu finished speaking, Crescent Moon continued in the corner of the Kangjiao: "I don't think Qiluo is a serious person. She knew that she was in love with a man at the age of thirteen. Besides, the two of them are determined to die together. Since she is timid, how can she be? Don't want to stop Saburo in advance? Doesn't she like Saburo? Can't bear to see Saburo die? When Saburo died, she went home by herself.

Wu Xin waited until the two had finished speaking before continuing to ask: "Then you can guess again, where did Qiluo and the little girl go?"

Crescent Moon couldn't guess, so Master Gu replied hesitantly: "If you asked me, I would definitely say that I was kidnapped; but if you ask me now, I am a little confused - I will never Did you get caught by a ghost?"

Wuxin took a sip from the teacup: "It's basically true, they were taken away by the Duan family. The method of the Duan family does not need to be elaborated here. Incense and other means. Master Gu is right, Saburo had thought carefully before he died in love, and of course he will leave a suicide note to explain to his parents——"

Without waiting for Wuxin to finish speaking, Master Gu slapped the table: "Oh, that Qiluo and the maid are all finished, so they shouldn't be raped and then killed?"

Crescent Moon originally planned to make some comments, but after hearing Master Gu's witty remarks, she immediately blushed and decided not to mix with them.

Wuxin shook his head slightly: "The Duan family thought that all of Saburo was killed by Qiluo, so they nailed Qiluo into the coffin alive. At that time, Wenxian County was not so big, and after the coffin was buried in the wasteland, the little girl He couldn't escape death, but his eyes were gouged out by the Duan family and stuffed into a small well next to him."

Looking at Master Gu meaningfully, Wuxin suddenly smiled: "The Duan family has disappeared since then, and the Yue family has been in trouble for a while, and no one can be found, that's all. Later, Wenxian became more and more prosperous, and that place buried Qiqi. The wasteland of Luo Corpse gradually became popular, with houses and streets, and finally it became a lively place."

Master Gu turned pale: "The wasteland...couldn't it be my home?"

Wuxin replied with a smile: "Nvsha couldn't hold back her soul at that time, and she had limited time, so she only told me this. I think if the little girl dies and cultivates into a Nusha, what about Qiluo?"

Master Gu stared blankly, while Crescent Moon said in the corner: "It's hard to say, anyway, Qiluo has no grievances from the little girl."

Wuxin knew that she didn't like Qiluo's actions very much, and was about to answer, but unexpectedly, Master Gu suddenly slapped the table again and scolded angrily: "Damn it! I have lived for twenty-eight years, I have never been so angry! The house that I bought with money, and the two stinky **** who were ghosts didn't pay, why can't I live and leave it to the ghosts? The bad things that happened more than a hundred years ago, Have something to do with Lao Tzu? Let me tell you, this commander has had enough! Tomorrow morning, I will bring a battalion over there, dig three feet of ground to bury explosives, and leave it alone with wells and coffins.

After saying this, Master Gu stretched out his legs and got off the kang, put on his shoes, and walked out angrily. Wuxin didn't stop him, and took advantage of the quietness to move to Crescent Moon.

Crescent Moon breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Master Gu was really gone. Pulling on her sleeve and dragging Wuxin's right hand, she was about to look at the other's injury, but when she took a closer look, she found that the other's palm was flat and uninjured at all.

She was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at Wuxin's left hand, Wuxin's left hand rested on the kang at will, with her palm facing up, and it was also intact. Crescent Moon thinks that her eyes are very good, so she will not see it wrong just now, but she was right just now, and she is right now. Quickly loosening Wuxin's cuffs, she was puzzled and embarrassed. She took out a gold bar from her pocket and brought it to Wuxin. She whispered, "You keep your things."

Inadvertently picked up the gold bar and put it back on her handkerchief: "No, you keep it."

Crescent Moon bowed her head and said, "I can't afford to lose it."

Wuxin smiled at her: "What's mine is yours."

Crescent moon is like a cow, and can't say anything good, just blushing: "I don't want it."

Wuxin squatted up and bowed to him with his fists in his arms: "I beg you, you want it."

Crescent Moon had a fever all over, and hummed like a whisper: "He's a big man, and he's not worth anything at all, just ask for it."

Wuxin immediately wrapped the gold bar with a handkerchief and stuffed it into Crescent Moon's hand. Taking advantage of the situation, he held Crescent Moon's hand, but he refused to let go. Crescent Moon is helpless now, and the major matters of marriage are entirely up to her, so he wants Crescent Moon to fall in love with him as soon as possible. Then he lowered his head and looked at Crescent Moon's hands with interest. Crescent Moon was used to doing work, and his hands were much rougher than his face. However, in the eyes of Wuxin, Xi Shi is seen. As long as Crescent Moon is willing to live with him, no matter how ugly he is, he will be satisfied.

Crescent Moon let him hold his hand, and a heart was about to pop out of his throat. For some reason, his body trembled with panic. Qiang struggled to squeeze out her voice, her face was already hot: "One gold bar is a lot, let's... let's go!"

Wuxin is not an insatiable person. If Master Gu must be entangled in the remuneration, he will not bother to accompany him to the end. Squeezing the hand that clenched the crescent moon, he said softly, "We can leave tomorrow, and I want to go to the house again tonight."

Crescent Moon raised her eyes sharply: "What are you doing?"

He patted her knee unintentionally, "Don't be afraid, I'm just going to have a look, I won't disturb anyone. If there's really nothing inside, then we'll leave early tomorrow, what does Mrs. Gu do? I don't care what I do. Okay?"

Crescent Moon thinks it's bad, but after all, the two are not married, and there are some things she can't say.
