Xie Tingyue was stunned.
Chu Mu kissed him.
A real kiss, full of affection and tenderness.
As if the hazy veil in front of her suddenly dissipated, Xie Tingyue could clearly feel all the things carried in this kiss, so warm, so sincere, as if time passed by, as if guarding with heart, a green plant in the mortal world finally bloomed.
There should be no doubt...
He shouldn't doubt Chu Mu's intentions, it's so clear and hot!
What should not be doubted is his own heart.
Since when did everything change
After the kiss, Chu Mu did not let him go, but hugged him tightly in his arms, whispering in his ear, "Ma'am, I'm thirsty for you."
Xie Tingyue's ears were red.
When Chu Mu just woke up, he was worried about hurting the other party, so he didn't dare to make a big move. It didn't seem appropriate to do anything, and it didn't seem appropriate to say anything, so he could only hum indiscriminately.
"Ma'am... Do you understand?"
Chu Mu's light laughter came to his ears, and his ears felt numb.
Xie Tingyue's body softened.
It's all like this, how could he not understand? There are some things that don't need to be said at all, the atmosphere is here, and the kissing thing is done, what else is there that I don't understand? Her face was so hot that Xie Tingyue didn't dare to raise her head, she hummed indiscriminately.
"No, you don't understand," Chu Mu said in a sigh, "Not only do I want to hold you like this, for the rest of my life, I also want to press you against the wall, on the bed, on—"
"say no more!"
Xie Tingyue's ears were dripping with blood, she couldn't bear to listen, so she covered Chu Mu's mouth with her hand.
This is just waking up, can you calm down!
If he hadn't cared about the opponent's body, he would have beaten Chu Mu now!
What is it all about...
Who is Chu Mu? Putting on the skin of a gentleman, you have to play hooligans to the end, how can you be shy? He took advantage of the opportunity to grab the hand covering his lips and kissed it: "Look at Mrs.'s hand is not big, how can it be so magical? Hold my heart tightly, making me think about it day and night, lovesickness Chengchou..."
"Ma'am, I don't just want to kiss you."
Xie Tingyue was a little short-circuited by Chu Mu's teasing, she couldn't react in her head, she didn't want to kiss... Then what were you doing just now? Don't want to kiss... what else do you want to do
When I was stunned, I felt a little different under my body.
Chu Mu's body was no longer cold and cold, the medicine prescribed by the doctor was extremely warming, and a charcoal basin was lit in the room, making it very warm. He had already removed a few thick quilts and replaced Chu Mu with thin quilts. People's bodies are so close, the quilt can't separate them too much, he can naturally feel the changes in Chu Mu's body...
This hooligan turned out to be tough!
Xie Tingyue stiffened instantly.
why? Isn't Chu Mu sick? Just recovering from a serious illness and just waking up, can it have this function
Chu Mu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he sighed: "Madam, I'm just sick, not broken."
Xie Tingyue: ...
Of course he knew that the symptoms were different and had different effects on the body. The doctors before and after did not mention the problem in this direction. Obviously, the effect was not great, but the strength was not strong enough to support it, and it was not easy to do that kind of thing.
"It can't be my fault, it's just that Madam is too delicious..." Chu Mu tightly wrapped his arms around Xie Tingyue's waist, speaking earnestly, "I know Madam wants it, but I can't, I don't want Madam to be too tired, it's better to be tired for this kind of thing Well, stay for a while—”
"Stop!" Xie Tingyue's mind was just a little messed up, but it wasn't broken. How could it be possible that she hasn't recovered yet, "I don't want it!"
Chu Mu frowned slightly: "Husband, don't you want it?"
Xie Tingyue was very firm: "Complete, complete, no, think!"
"Okay, that means it is disobedient and has acted on its own initiative, so it should be punished." Chu Mu glanced under him, obviously trying to avoid it.
Xie Tingyue: ...
Didn't that thing grow on you
I will not be fooled, and I will definitely not participate in the topic of how to punish!
Sure enough, the next moment Chu Mu said, "Madam, how do you punish me?"
Xie Tingyue turned her head away and did not speak.
His head was right on Chu Mu's chest, and he heard Chu Mu's heartbeat, "Plop—thump—" it was alive and powerful.
It's amazing, I seem to have experienced many things in a short period of time, from flustered, moved, shy, soft and sweet to disgusted, and I have experienced them all. Chu Mu has this kind of ability, one moment can make him laugh, the next moment he can make him disgusted.
"Scared you these few days?" Chu Mu's voice was slow, like a stream under the moon, "I didn't do it on purpose. Thinking about how I passed out before I finished speaking that day, I was also very annoyed. I came here that night. Seeing me is—"
"No, I don't want to listen!"
Xie Tingyue suddenly refused, feeling that his tone was too stiff, he pursed his lips and tried to lower his voice: "You just woke up, your body is still weak, can you rest?"
Chu Mu's eyes flashed with astonishment.
He looked seriously into Xie Tingyue's eyes, but Xie Tingyue turned his head away and didn't let him look.
At this moment, Chu Mu understood.
It still scares Xie Tingyue.
His wife...probably thought that he was under too much pressure at that time, which caused great pressure on him, and that's why he just fell ill.
This is guilt, or... fear, thinking that by bypassing this matter, if he doesn't ask or chase, he won't get sick again.
It's not okay to go into a dead end like this.
Chu Mu was helpless: "I really wanted to talk to you a long time ago, and I put a lot of hooks to lure you over. This matter is with me. I have a detailed plan and there is no pressure."
Xie Tingyue didn't speak, just buried her head in his chest.
Chu Mu: "And as I said, I will never let go of your hand. You will know these things sooner or later."
Xie Tingyue was still stubborn: "Then I don't want to hear it now."
He does have some conflicts in his heart now, and his mind is in a mess. He needs time to think about it.
But there is one thing, he has to ask: "You are not sick, but poisoned. Do you know about this?"
Chu Mu paused, and replied: "I know." Then he asked Xie Tingyue, "Avoiding will never solve the problem, do you understand?"
"It's clear," Xie Tingyue said in a low voice, "I just...don't want to use my brain right now."
Chu Mu rubbed Xie Tingyue's head and admitted defeat: "Okay, then we'll talk about this matter later."
My wife, what else can I do? Petting and coaxing.
After rubbing it lightly twice, Xie Tingyue didn't move. Chu Mu observed carefully and found that he was asleep.
"I think I'm tired..."
Chu Mu smiled softly, carefully pulled out the quilt that was sandwiched between the two of them, then cleverly put Xie Tingyue's arms around him and put it away. He also sat up and took off Xie Tingyue's shoes before lying down again and covering him with the quilt.
The body is poisoned, how could he not know? It's a pity that there are only some clues about how to cure this poison, and we are not yet 100% sure.
Fortunately, it is poison, poison comes and goes quickly, as long as you can bear it. Whenever the poison occurs, it is when he is weakest and strongest. He can't bear it, and he will die. After carrying it over, he will be in the best physical condition and most comfortable when he wakes up. As usual, he doesn't have the strength.
Turning his gaze to the pillow side, his wife is breathing evenly, sleeping well, like an innocent and ignorant child.
Unable to bear it, he leaned over to kiss again, and then Chu Mu covered Xie Tingyue with a quilt, and said to the door, "Qin Ping."
Qin Ping came in immediately.
Chu Mu remained calm as usual: "Tell me."
Qin Ping was very happy to see his master survived again, but he didn't dare to answer immediately, but looked at the wife who was sleeping next to the master.
Chu Mu smiled: "There's no need to avoid it, just say it."
Only then did Qin Ping nod his head, and said solemnly: "Through the special information given by the master, the people under that organization have already checked and found the definite evidence, which is 'Gen Miao'. They have transformed from a gangster organization, and they have not been traced for more than ten years, so they cannot be traced at all. What are you doing when you come out? I haven’t done any business such as the news of the murder before. This time it popped up suddenly. Except for Lan Yingcao last time, it is the King of Li this time. The subordinates and the people below are checking whether there is any connection between the two. .Besides, what is it about King Li that makes them chase after him like this, and there is no result yet... "
Qin Ping explained the information he found one by one.
Chu Mu listened, his face pondering.
It really was that organization, he was right. But he thought that this organization was going to kill him, and the Mei Yan incident didn't feel right. He gave him a chance, why didn't the other party do it? Why did He Yuanqi die? The way and timing of his death were so subtle
This time, King Li, he threatened with a saber, not only the importance of King Li, but also himself, and the other party didn't make a move.
If there is no killing intent towards him, what is the purpose of making trouble again and again? If there is a killing intent, why not do it
Chu Mu couldn't figure it out.
Sweeping Qin Ping's gaze, he found that the other party's brows were slightly wrinkled, as if he had something on his mind—
"You still have something to say." Chu Mu was very determined.
Qin Ping thought for a while, and said: "There is something... The subordinates didn't see anything wrong, they just wanted to say it subconsciously."
Chu Mu: "Say."
Qin Ping: "This time, the master is ill and needs smoke and water. The seedling organization seems to be looking for it too. Why do you want to look for it? If you can't find it, the subordinates don't know. When they have time to look back, they have already evacuated. "
Chu Mu understood after hearing this. Qin Ping looked rough, but he was actually very careful. At that time, he couldn't follow him. Either there were too many people on the other side, or he was in a hurry to find herbs for him. Later, when he found the herbs, he felt relieved and looked back, but the time had passed.
At the critical moment, there must be a trade-off. It is impossible for him to punish Qin Ping. Moreover, Qin Ping has followed him and practiced for many years. His five senses are very different. Subconsciously, he wants to say that there is a problem.
Chu Mu narrowed his eyes, and suddenly thought of a direction: "Immediately go and check if the smoky yellow is on King Li's body!"
Qin Ping was stunned, and understood, his eyes flashed sharply: "Yes!"
Xie Tingyue slept very deeply this time. When Chu Mu woke up, the burden on his shoulders was instantly lifted. He was completely relieved. After a long sleep, it was already afternoon when he woke up.
This was normal, but Chu Mu was worried, seeing that Xie Tingyue couldn't do it, he called for Dr. Guangbai.
As soon as Xie Tingyue woke up, she saw the old doctor looking at her with a smile: "Look, isn't that just waking up? Lack of sleep, just get more sleep. It's fine, and you don't need to take any medicine."
Xie Tingyue blushed.
Before, the concern was chaotic, some things didn’t come to him, but now he understands, the old doctor said goodbye to him yesterday, in fact, he was giving him a reassurance in a disguised form, telling him that Chu Mu was fine, the doctor didn’t need it anymore, he didn’t have to be so tense . Regarding life and death matters, doctors are used to talking in cryptic terms, they rarely directly guarantee that they will recover immediately if there is nothing wrong, or die immediately if there is no cure, why didn't he understand it!
Xie Tingyue hurriedly got up, and made a big salute: "What I did wrong earlier, please forgive me, old man! This time, thanks to the old man's kindness, my husband was able to recover. Later, Xie Yi will talk about his heart." , and please don’t refuse the old gentleman—”
"Okay," Guang Bai stroked his beard, narrowed his eyes with a smile, he couldn't make fun of Xie Tingyue anymore, and turned to Chu Mu, "You are so sick, you are lucky. I've seen it all, I've never seen a few people like your wife, who is obviously very smart and transparent, who becomes stupid when he encounters you, doesn't listen to good words, and doesn't do anything except poke in front of you Yes—you should cherish such a good wife."
Chu Mu has a beautiful heart, and his demeanor is more gentlemanly: "The old man is right, thank you for taking care of our husband and wife for a few days, in the future... I will definitely treat him well."
"Well, not bad," Guangbai narrowed his eyes even more: "Do you know how to treat each other well?"
Chu Mu smiled: "Try to live for a long time."
Guangbai laughed loudly: "Hahaha that's right! With such good luck, you will not die early. You are much smarter than your silly wife!"
Silly daughter-in-law Xie Tingyue: ...
"Okay, since you've woken up, there's nothing wrong with it. The mountain is very inconvenient, so you can make arrangements to go down the mountain by yourself." Guangbai turned out of the room with his hands behind his back, "I also packed up and left, so I don't need you to send me. "
…
Xie Tingyue passed on the news to go down the mountain, and Hang Qingxi really sent someone on the soft couch to carry Chu Mu down the mountain.
Fortunately, all the people walking were strong and strong young men, full of strength, and there were enough people, so they could be easily removed when changing shifts.
Chu Mu's state recovered, and Xie Tingyue's mood also calmed down, but this time every time Chu Mu shook his hand, he didn't push away his disgust. The atmosphere is sweet enough to overflow with honey.
Everywhere under the mountain has returned to normal, and in some places even the traces of the heavy rain have disappeared, and the spirits of the Xiao family members are also quite good. Hang Qingxi personally prepared delicious food for Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu. Concerned about Chu Mu's physical condition, most of the dishes were light, but the taste was very good.
During the meeting, the atmosphere was in full swing, and several people talked about business.
Chu Mu's voice was firm: "This private salt business must not be done again."
Xiao Yunfeng looked serious: "Yes, I don't plan to do it again."
The deed was established by Chu and Xiao's family, and the two have the most say in breaking it.
"Other business—" Xie Tingyue smiled, "I wonder if the two of you are interested?"
Hang Qingxi blinked her beautiful eyes slightly: "Young Master Xie means—"
Xie Tingyue: "Although I coaxed those villains with words before, and wanted you to help distribute the goods, I didn't mention it casually."
"I'm waiting for your words," Hang Qingxi laughed immediately, "We're going to take advantage of it!"
"It's not sure who will take advantage of this," Xie Tingyue blinked, "My blue surplus cloth is flying a little too fast, and the stock has never been enough. Seeing that the silk is about to run out, the stock has not yet arrived—"
Hang Qingxi was very generous: "What is this? We have silk! We have it in stock, and the production is sufficient this autumn. You can have as much as you want, and you can ask for a price!"
This is a matter of mutual benefit. Even if you earn less and let the other party earn more, this business must be negotiated. The goal is set, and both parties have no objections. Afterwards, the contract will be discussed in detail, but it is not easy to go on now. Deeply said.
Xiao Yunfeng didn't say much, but he was an extremely sincere person: "You two have helped my husband and wife a lot this time. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely be rewarded generously. I will take care of the villains. You don't have to worry about it. .And one more thing—”
Thinking that he spoke too slowly, Hang Qingxi interrupted: "It's a bit of a quarrel to talk about it, that Mr. Xie—" She looked at Xie Tingyue, "You want to call my brother, I got lost, our clansman I found him missing by mistake, and I couldn’t find him after looking for it, so I’m really sorry.”
Xie Tingyue understood as soon as she heard it, how could Xie Tingri get lost when he was so big and a man? You must have run away by yourself. I guess it's too embarrassing, I don't want to see this group of people again.
"He's a big man, he can go wherever he likes, don't worry about him."
It doesn't matter, Xie Tingyue won't be able to kill him if he stays here, it's sad to see him, the letter Chu Mu has already written and sent, if this elder brother goes home crying and complains, there will be no good results.
Hang Qingxi had guessed Xie Tingyue's attitude a long time ago, so he immediately took the remark without mentioning it, and said another matter: "There is one more thing outside, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble to you two."
Chu Mu: "Oh? What's the matter?"
Hang Qingxi glanced at her husband.
Xiao Yunfeng said conveniently: "I took my clansmen to clear the road ahead, and I heard some news from another village that a businessman named Yan Hong was reselling supplies, which aroused the people's voices, and made Lord Shangguan Lu very headache."
Hang Qingxi smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was on the mountain before... I understand that Mr. Lu seems to be friends with the two of you?"
Chu Mu shook his head: "It's nothing."
They have the help of the Xiao family, and there are Xiao family members everywhere on the mountain, and they can't hide the big things if they want to, and Lu Li doesn't want to hide it either, if they really want to hide it, they won't let Chang Sui behave like that.
"Indeed, Madam don't need to worry about it. Instead, we should thank Madam for reminding me." Xie Tingyue was thinking about another matter, "It's mainly this Yan Hong, what does he want to do?"
He turned his head slightly, just as Chu Mu also turned his head to look at him, and the emotions in their eyes were the same.
Ever since he came out of the capital, this Yan Hong has been following him like a shadow, because of Xie Ru's relationship, he has also protected Xie Tingri a lot, but during this period of time, these days when the flood came, I didn't see him at all. Give up Xie Tingyue, leave aside Xie Tingri, and go out and make money by yourself
"Let me tell you about this!"
A hearty voice came from outside the door, very familiar, it was Lu Li.
He was dressed in normal clothes, followed the servants to lead him into the room, Xiao Yunfeng, Hang Qingxi and his wife immediately stood up to greet him, Xie Tingyue also got up and bowed his hands: "Lord Lu is here."
Only Chu Mu sat still.
Of course, Lu Li got used to it, and after exchanging greetings with several people, he sat down beside Chu Mu politely: "You are really stable."
Chu Mu: "Otherwise?"
"It's a great honor for me and my wife to come. Please take a few seats. I'll cook a few dishes right now."
Hang Qingxi greeted him, then pulled Xiao Yunfeng away.
This is to give a private space for the remaining three to talk.
Xie Tingyue was very grateful.
Lu Li sat down, and first took a good look at Chu Mu. He looked a little lighter, but his energy was not bad. It could be seen that his best friend was well taken care of.
Putting a heart in his stomach, Lu Li then joked: "It is said that the disaster will last for thousands of years, so you really don't die so easily."
Chu Mu smiled: "I'm really sorry, I'm too busy to hurt you, but I've disappointed you."
Who is Lu Li, who can eat this
"Oh, I don't want to be jealous of you," he turned his gaze to Xie Tingyue's side, his eyes full of deep meaning, "Xie Er, you see, he can't die anyway, so pour me a cup of tea too."
Xie Tingyue suddenly stopped.
He was touched by the friendship between the two just now, every sentence seemed disgusting, but in fact it was full of caring, such friends in life, how can it not be envied? I'm enjoying it, I didn't expect this to come out.
These days, it is a habit to take care of Chu Mu. No matter what time it is, they always keep their eyes on Chu Mu. When pouring tea, Chu Mu is naturally the first.
But in the current scene, he is not the master, but Lu Li is really a guest, he should take care of him. But he didn't see it as if he was blind, and only cared about his own rascal...
It was even punctured!
Xie Tingyue's ears were red, and she really wanted to find a seam in the ground to get in.
How could Chu Mu look at others bullying him, and immediately snatched the teapot from Xie Tingyue: "It's just a glass of water, why bother my wife, I, come, kiss, give, you, pour it!"
A cup of tea is poured full, very full.
The wine is full and the tea is light, the tea is seventy percent full, and the wine is full of the cup, it is a human rule, but today's tea-
Lu Li raised his eyebrows, with a half-smile: "You want to toast me."
Chu Mu smiled: "What, do you want to eat or not?"
"Eat!" Lu Li gritted his teeth, drank the tea boldly, and glared at Chu Mu fiercely.
Xie Tingyue coughed: "The matter of Yan Hong—"
"Yes, yes, I was so angry that I forgot my business," Lu Li accused Chu Mu, full of confidence, "Look at your wife, how sensible she is!"
Chu Mu smiled happily, and looked at Xie Tingyue: "I do have a lot to learn from Madam."
Xie Tingyue: ...
"What's going on at Yan Hong's side—"
Lu Li straightened his expression and talked about the business: "This continuous heavy rain suddenly appeared in this season. It has been rare for many years. Nowhere is on guard. The people have committed a serious crime. Originally, this place is very lucky to meet with food and rice supplies. Wealthy merchants. Wealthy merchants were originally doing this kind of business, and all their belongings were on the way to be transported. When they heard that there was a disaster here, they became kind and donated all their belongings..."
Lu Li didn't quite understand this matter, it seemed a bit too coincidental to him, but he went to check, the people were fine, the food and supplies were fine, it wasn't high-end goods, the general quality was passable, just right for the affected people.
Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu were clear in their hearts.
These things... they made them do it.
"With the help of kind-hearted people, this disaster could have passed smoothly, but a shit-stirring stick came over," Lu Li said in a bad mood, "Then Yan Hong made a fortune from the disaster!"
Merchants are the best at drilling and speculating. There is such a group of people who like to make a fortune in disasters. They sell water tankers during droughts, boats during floods, and even sell weapons during military disasters. Such things are not uncommon.
"But Yan Hong went too far this time."
Lu Li picked up two chopsticks of vegetables, chewed them carefully, and tried his best to be calm: "He was born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and his connections in the area are extensive and intricate. It is not a problem to squeeze out a few places to monopolize. As long as the prices in the places under his circle soar, the common people I can't afford it, I can't afford it, it's miserable... "
"I can send someone to catch him, but this matter is not easy to manage. If I say this, you will understand?"
This question, he asked Xie Tingyue.
The inside story is cryptic, so it's hard to describe it in detail, but Xie Tingyue understands it all.
"Yes, I understand."
