"Young Master! You can't say bad things about him! Lord Wutan likes handsome boys. I see that you have bright eyes and white teeth, and you are smart and cute. You'd better be careful not to be seen by Lord Wutan!" The mother-in-law lowered her voice, a little nervous.
"Thank you, mother-in-law!" Lu Xiaochan thought to herself, I had already been seen by that Wu Tianjun!
Lu Xiaochan blew on it and couldn't wait to take a bite. The pig blood was smooth and tender, and the noodles were well-cooked.
He finished a bowl, and Shu Wuxi had only eaten half a bowl. His leisurely posture was very pleasing to the eye.
Lu Xiaochan held on to her chopsticks, watching Shu Wuxi's lips open, the tip of his tongue looming. Suddenly, the image of him kissing her in the room at Pengyuan Mountain flooded into Lu Xiaochan's mind.
The heartbeat was so loud that it seemed to be shaking the atria apart.
Lu Xiaochan curled the tip of her tongue, thinking about the feeling of Shu Wuxi's kiss that night.
"Xiao Chan, do you still want to eat?" Shu Wuxi asked.
"Eat! Eat!" Lu Xiaochan came back to her senses and yelled to her mother-in-law, "Grandma, give me another bowl of noodles!"
Grandma smiled and said, "Okay."
"Grandma, didn't you say that Grandpa also sells pig blood noodles with you? Where is Grandpa?"
"He...his leg bones were broken by Lord Wu Tian's horse, and he can no longer stand up...he can only lie down at home." The mother-in-law's expression dimmed.
Lu Xiaochan's cheeks puffed up: "I regret it!"
"I know." Shu Wuxi replied.
"You know what I regret?"
"I regret not breaking Zhang Wutian's legs."
Lu Xiaochan nodded immediately: "Brother Wuxi still understands me!"
"I regret it, too."
"What do you regret?" Lu Xiaochan was puzzled.
"I didn't take his eyes off."
Shu Wuxi's voice sounded faint, but it carried a certain power.
"ah?"
"Those filthy eyes were staring at you. But since you don't like me plucking other people's eyes, I didn't do it."
The implication is that if Shu Wuxi plucked Zhang Wutan's eyes, Lu Xiaochan would not hate it.
My mother-in-law brought the pig blood noodles, which contained even more pig blood than before.
"I guess you will leave in a few days, young master. It's rare that you like it, so eat more. There won't be many people coming to eat anyway," said the mother-in-law.
"Thank you, Grandma!" Lu Xiaochan smiled, "Grandma, why do your pig blood noodles smell so good?"
"Haha, my old man likes it, so I often cook it for him. After cooking it many times, I know how to cook the pig blood to make it smooth and tender without any fishy smell. My old man is good at making noodles, and the noodles he makes are smooth and easy to absorb the flavor!"
"Then how long have you been cooking the pig blood noodles?"
"That makes about thirty years!"
"This is not pig blood noodles, but the love between the two elders for thirty years!"
"You little sir, you have such a sweet mouth!"
After Lu Xiaochan finished this bowl of food, she really couldn't hold on any longer.
While rubbing his belly, he said lazily: "Brother Wuxi, give me money!"
"Yes." Shu Wuxi took out a gold leaf from his belt, turned sideways, held it on his fingertips, and handed it to the old woman.
The old woman was stunned and immediately shook her hands and said, "There's so much money, I can't make the change!"
"No need to look for it."
"It's just three bowls of pig blood noodles! How can it be worth so much money?" The old woman refused to take it.
"As long as Xiaochan likes it, it is worth a thousand gold coins." Shu Wuxi replied.
Lu Xiaochan looked at Shu Wuxi and suddenly felt that Shu Wuxi's attitude towards the old woman was different from that towards the people they had met before.
"Thank you for your kindness. But such a piece of gold leaf is so eye-catching for an old woman like me, and it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. You like our pig blood noodles, which is worth a thousand gold to an old woman like me."
Lu Xiaochan stood up and came to Shu Wuxi's side. She deliberately reached out to touch his belt and said deliberately, "Hey, where is the silver? The money Kunwu gave me should not have been used up yet! Where did it go? Where did it go!"
Shu Wuxi sat upright with his back stiff, and Lu Xiaochan knew that he was even holding his breath.
The more he did this, the longer Lu Xiaochan took to "look" for change.
"My dear, it's okay! It's just a few cents worth of noodles, just think of it as a treat from me, your mother-in-law!"
"I found it!" Lu Xiaochan took out some silver and solemnly put it into the old woman's hand. "You must accept this, grandma. We ate such delicious noodles, how can we not pay?"
"Oh, young master, you gave too much!"
The mother-in-law turned around and handed the whole bag of copper coins to Lu Xiaochan.
Lu Xiaochan pushed it back again: "Grandma, it's not convenient for my brother and I to carry so many copper coins with us! When we finish our business and pass by here on our way home, grandma can cook noodles for us."
"Hey, you guys... then you must come back to eat the noodles I cooked, otherwise I will wait for you all the time!"
It was already late at night and the old woman began to pack up her stall.
But Lu Xiaochan didn't expect that Shu Wuxi would actually say, "Let's send her back."
"Really?" Lu Xiaochan's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, the old woman was different from others in Shu Wuxi's eyes!
"Yes. If I don't accompany you to send the old man back, you will also sneak out at night to look for the old man."
"I'm full of pig blood noodles, so I don't need a midnight snack!" Lu Xiaochan said with her head raised.
"You want to cure grandpa's leg." Shu Wuxi replied.
"... You... How do you know?"
Shu Wuxi did not answer Lu Xiaochan, but turned around, rolled up his sleeves, and helped the old woman push the cart.
"You can't do that! You can't do that!"
"What's the problem? Mother-in-law, you are pulling me, I can't see!"
"My dear, can't you see?" The mother-in-law was surprised. "Your eyes are so beautiful, how can you not see?"
"But I am open-minded!" Lu Xiaochan smiled, took her mother-in-law's hand, and followed Shu Wuxi.
They came to the old woman's house, which was just a very simple house.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard the old man coughing.
The old woman hurried in, chanted the old man's name, and helped him calm down.
"Old man, I met two kind gentlemen today. They came to help me push the cart back!"
The old man sat up and was about to bend down to apologize, but Lu Xiaochan quickly supported him.
His keen eyes immediately noticed his grandfather's leg. His tibia was broken and his muscles and blood vessels were damaged. If he and Shu Wuxi had not come, he would not have survived more than three days with such injuries.
Lu Xiaochan raised her hand and touched the old man's forehead, and found that he had a severe fever.
"Brother Wuxi, what should we do?" Lu Xiaochan looked in the direction of Shu Wuxi.
Shu Wuxi actually took out an incense burner from his Qiankun bag: "Let's see how to treat it in the medical book."
Lu Xiaochan opened her eyes wide: "You... When did you take out the Tailing Pavilion Medical Canon?"
"It wasn't smooth. I put it in right in front of Kunwu."
Lu Xiaochan could almost imagine that Kunwu’s expression at that time must have been as if he had eaten a mouthful of fly shit.
Dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Shu Wuxi used his spiritual energy to light the incense burner, and page after page of medical books appeared in front of Lu Xiaochan.
When the old woman and old man saw this, they knelt down.
"It turns out that it is the Immortal Lord who has come! I, an old woman, have no eyes to recognize the great man!"
Lu Xiaochan raised her hand, spiritual energy overflowed, and she lifted the two elders up.
"Found it! This healing spell can heal broken bones and restore muscles and blood vessels! But it takes six hundred years of practice to do this!"
Lu Xiaochan's eyes wrinkled.
"Your cultivation is sufficient." Shu Wuxi replied.
"Ah?" Lu Xiaochan tilted her head, then lowered her eyes and smiled, "That's true."
He rubbed his hands and sat down next to the old man: "Grandpa, I'm not very skilled. Let me give it a try. If it works, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't, you won't lose out!"
"The Immortal Lord wants to heal my leg injury! I am so lucky!"
The old man was about to kneel down again, but Lu Xiaochan quickly held him up, holding his breath and concentrating. His spiritual energy circulated throughout the body and overflowed from his fingertips. The spiritual light surrounded him and formed a circle of medical spell, which wrapped around the old man's ankle and went up little by little.
All that could be heard was the rustling sound of broken bones and the broken muscles connecting with each other. The old man's pain gradually subsided and even his toes moved.
"Grandpa, does it still hurt? How about getting down and giving it a try?"
Lu Xiaochan was a little nervous. It was his first time to treat someone's injury. He started by reconnecting a broken bone. He was not confident in himself.
The old man moved to his feet, and with the help of the old woman, he took a few steps.
They looked at each other and cried with joy.
"Old man, your leg is healed!"
"Thank you, Immortal Lord! Thank you..."
The two old men turned around, only to find that Lu Xiaochan and Shu Wuxi were gone.
The two of them came to the inn, and Shu Wuxi opened the window to give Lu Xiaochan some fresh air.
"Brother Wuxi, I still don't understand. You never like to meddle in other people's business... Why are you helping Grandpa and Grandma this time?"
"I think... you'll still be by my side thirty years later."
Shu Wuxi said while looking out the window.
Lu Xiaochan's heart tightened, and the feeling of wanting to hug Shu Wuxi tightly and bite him hard came back.
"I will practice hard! Not to mention thirty years, three hundred years, or even three thousand years, I will always be by your side!"
Shu Wuxi turned his head and rubbed Lu Xiaochan's head.
"I would like to be a mayfly, born in the morning and dead in the evening, but I only hope that you will be by my side from morning to night tonight."
Lu Xiaochan stood there in a daze, then suddenly jumped up and bit Shu Wuxi's ear hard.
Shu Wuxi did not struggle, but raised his hand and touched Lu Xiaochan's cheek.
"What's wrong? What else do you want to eat?"
Lu Xiaochan's eyes turned red and her nose felt sore.
"You're not a pig farmer! Why do you always ask me if I want to eat?"
"Xiaochan? What's wrong with you?"
"Because you said the wrong thing!"
"What?"
"I am extremely greedy! I don't want to fight for the day!"
"Okay." Shu Wuxi raised his fingers and rubbed Lu Xiaochan's eyelashes.
At night, Lu Xiaochan tossed and turned in Shu Wuxi's arms.
He sighed for a while, and then looked up at Shu Wuxian's chin.
Shu Wuxi touched the back of his head: "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
The warm breath fell on Lu Xiaochan's forehead, and her blood rushed down. Lu Xiaochan immediately turned around, facing Shu Wuxi, and curled up.
"What's wrong?" Shu Wuxi's voice was clear and cool.
But it happened to fall into Lu Xiaochan's ears, like a fire.
Lu Xiaochan curled up even more.
“No…Nothing!”
He reached out and scratched the quilt, feeling extremely itchy inside, his mind full of how Shu Wuxi kissed him that night.
He licked the corner of his mouth, turned around, snuggled into Shu Wuxi's arms, and rubbed his chest with his nose.
The smell there is so good that Lu Xiaochan really wants to kiss it a few times.
"Xiao Chan, are you hot?" Shu Wuxi asked.
"Hmm... It's so hot!" Lu Xiaochan raised her leg and kicked off the quilt.
He wanted to stick to Shu Wuxi, but the tighter he hugged him, the more uneasy he became. What was flowing in his body was not blood, but hot steam.
"If you keep calm, you will feel cooler." Shu Wuxi's finger gently stroked Lu Xiaochan's forehead.
"Who said that you can stay calm when a beautiful woman is around you? Who said that?"
Lu Xiaochan sat up with a bang and looked at Shu Wuxi angrily.
"Beauty?" Shu Wuxi sat up slowly, with a hint of doubt in his voice.
The hair slowly slid down his neck. Lu Xiaochan felt as if her throat was roasted and was about to smoke. She just wanted to bite open Shu Wuxi's neck and drink his blood in big gulps.
"I feel sick, I can't sleep! My heart is pounding! And I feel itchy!"
I want you to kiss me!
Just like... just like in Pengyuan Mountain!
It would be better if you could use more strength and do it for a longer time!
"Maybe some yang ginseng was added to the pig blood noodles. You ate two bowls and drank up the soup, so you got irritated."
Shu Wuxi gently patted Lu Xiaochan's chest, just like an adult comforting a crying baby who had bumped into the corner of the table.
Lu Xiaochan looked at Shu Wuxi's handsome appearance, especially the gentleness and elegance that was faintly visible in the shadows, and she wanted to pounce on him... to see him panic and at a loss... it would be best if she could cry!
"You are the one who is irritable! You are also irritable!"
Lu Xiaochan didn't know whether she was angry at Shu Wuxi's reaction or at herself for losing her temper, so she raised her foot and kicked Shu Wuxi on the shoulder.
"Xiao Chan?" Shu Wuxi turned his head to the side, his eyes full of complete confusion.
He didn't know what he had done to make Lu Xiaochan unhappy, so he just raised his hand and grabbed Lu Xiaochan's ankle, but didn't dare to use too much force.
"What’s wrong with you?"
As soon as he spoke, his breath swept across Lu Xiaochan's instep, and Lu Xiaochan was so angry that she almost cried!
"Didn't you also eat a big bowl of pig blood noodles? Why aren't you hot?"
“I didn’t drink the soup.”
Oh! So you know the ingredients in pig blood soup! Why didn't you tell me then
Lu Xiaochan looked at Shu Wuxi eagerly, her big eyes shining in the dark night, "Brother Wuxi..."
Shu Wuxi's throat moved, and his fingers gripping Lu Xiaochan tightened.
But Lu Xiaochan waited for a long time, and Shu Wuxi actually passed his spiritual energy along Lu Xiaochan's ankles to help him calm down.
Lu Xiaochan almost jumped up, so she retracted her feet, climbed down from Shu Wuxi's body, and put on her shoes.
"Where are you going, Xiao Chan!" Shu Wuxi grabbed him.
"You drank too much soup! Add water!"
"I'll accompany you."
Shu Wuxi was about to get up when Lu Xiaochan ran out.
"I do not need!"
"Little cicada!"
Shu Wuxi chased after him and tightened the Locking Immortal Silk.
Lu Xiaochan was pulled back, feeling angry and annoyed.
"If you pull me again, I will untie the fairy silk!"
"Little cicada."
Shu Wuxi's voice became softer and even sounded a little innocent.
Lu Xiaochan felt as if she had somehow felt sorry for Shu Wuxian.
"Don't worry about me! I'll be back in half an hour! Go back to the house and wait for me!"
"There is a chamber pot in the room."
"don't want!"
I'm not really going to pee, why do I need a chamber pot
Shu Wuxi still didn't let go. Lu Xiaochan could hardly hold back any more and pushed him hard.
Then... I couldn't help it and it came out.
A chill came over her and Lu Xiaochan shivered.
Then, embarrassment and regret came over her, and Lu Xiaochan thought to herself, "Why is Shu Wuxi so hateful? He insisted on holding him back and not letting him leave!"
This is great! Are you going to wash my pants
Lu Xiaochan's eyes suddenly turned red: "Go away!"
Shu Wuxi saw that he was really angry, so he loosened his hand for just a moment, and Lu Xiaochan ran away.
Lu Xiaochan felt so embarrassed that she wanted to find a river to jump into. She would get soaked so that the area wouldn't be noticeable.
He ran madly all the way, not caring whether Shu Wuxi was following him or not.
The night breeze was moist and cool with the touch of dew, which made Lu Xiaochan inexplicably think of Shu Wuxi's kiss and his lips and tongue.
After walking for a while, he calmed down. He closed his eyes and sensed that Shu Wuxi was following him a few feet away.
He felt a little regretful for having lost his temper just now.
But then I thought - Shu Wuxi, you deserve it. Will you die if you kiss me
That little bit of guilt disappeared instantly.
Whatever he did before, Shu Wuxi was always beside him, and he behaved himself. It was rare that Shu Wuxi only dared to follow him from a distance this time. Lu Xiaochan touched his chin and decided to have some fun.
He closed his eyes and spread his spiritual energy, filtering all the living beings here layer by layer, and finally found the big pig-headed Zhang Wutan.
It seems that there are several people around the big pig head, and he is twisting and turning... Oh, the big pig head really never learns his lesson! Life goes on, and fun never stops!
The sword formation he had placed on Zhang Wutan was probably dissipated less than two hours ago. Instead of going home to sleep, this pig ran off to Qinlou and Chuguan again, right
Lu Xiaochan hummed a little tune, touched the edge of the wall, and walked over.
It seems that Zhangcheng is indeed prosperous, with an entire street full of fireworks!
Lu Xiaochan sniffed, and the scent of powder made him sneeze loudly.
As he walked, he saw many men and women cuddling together and whispering intimately... and men.
A man holding Xiaoguaner passed by Lu Xiaochan, then immediately turned back and wanted to get closer.
Before he could even open his mouth, Lu Xiaochan cast a healing spell to help him “clear his mind and purify his fire”.
The man fell to the ground, curled up in pain, sweat pouring down his face.
Lu Xiaochan continued to walk forward, hearing all kinds of stringed instruments and melodious sounds in his ears, but the sound of Shu Wuxi's footsteps following him in the distance behind him was still clear.
It sounded calm and indifferent, but it was a little different from the sound of his usual walking.
When he was far away from Lu Xiaochan, he would take one more step closer.
When they got close, Lu Xiaochan would turn around and glare at him, and Shu Wuxi would stop and wait until Lu Xiaochan walked a few steps away before continuing to follow.
Lu Xiaochan came to a pavilion with a plaque on it with three words "Chunxiao Pavilion".
The attic was filled with the aroma of wine, without the strong smell of powder, but rather a refreshing fragrance.
Lu Xiaochan listened attentively and, judging from the distance and level of the sounds, this attic should have three floors.
The first floor naturally has the most people and is also the noisiest.
The sounds of people urging people to drink, raising cups, and making jokes overlapped and mixed together.
The second floor was relatively "quiet", and it should be a wing room. Almost everyone inside was "doing business", and the various noises made Lu Xiaochan feel itchy.
The third floor is much more elegant.
There are elegant sounds of piano, the sound of ink on paper, and people reciting poems and writing couplets...
The only thing missing was a woman's voice.
And that Zhang Wutan was on the second floor, getting angry with the manager of Chunxiao Tower.
"This Immortal Lord said that she needs big eyes and two small canine teeth when she smiles! She looks innocent, but with a curled mouth, she can be evil and seductive! What kind of person did you find for me?"
The manager was bowing and apologizing to Zhang Wutan!
"My Lord, look at this Master Wushuang. Aren't his eyes big?"
"Your eyes are big, but they look unclean, and your mind is full of vulgar things! You're thinking of hooking up with me and becoming a phoenix!"
When Lu Xiaochan heard this, she almost burst out laughing.
Even if I hook up with you, you're not a phoenix on the branch—at most a crow on a pig's back!
Can't you have worldly things in your mind? If it's not worldly things, then are you pretending to have Buddhist scriptures
Lu Xiaochan raised her head. If she went in through the main gate, she would definitely be considered a person who came for fun. Then a bunch of people would surround her, and she would not be able to get away even if she wanted to go see Zhang Wutan!
He was just thinking about it when Shu Wuxi came behind him without him noticing.
"You are not allowed to go in." Shu Wuxi's voice fell coldly.
If you tell me to go east, I will go west.
What’s more, what I want is for you to say “You are not allowed to go in”.
"No! I want to go in!" Lu Xiaochan turned around and looked at Shu Wuxi with her chin raised.
"You can't tell, but all the men here are like Zhang Wutan. If they saw you, they would definitely..."
"So, two choices." Lu Xiaochan stretched out her finger and gestured, "Either you wait here while I go up to watch the pig's show! Or, you go up with me. Let's watch the pig's show together!"
Shu Wuxi turned his face slightly, as if recalling something.
"You did it on purpose. When you left Zhang Wutian, in addition to leaving behind a sword formation to suppress him, you also..."
"I added a little bit of flavor to it!" Lu Xiaochan smiled with narrowed eyes, "Kunwu special! Originally it was used to deal with you..."
Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Lu Xiaochan immediately covered her mouth.
But Shu Wuxi was not easy to fool and moved his hand away with force.
"Why are you targeting me?"
His eyes were fixed on Lu Xiaochan, and Lu Xiaochan's heart began to flutter again.
"If you come with me, you will know what the powder Kunwu gave me is used for, right?"
"You did it on purpose." Shu Wuxi held Lu Xiaochan tighter, "You got angry at me for no reason, not because of the yang ginseng in the pig blood soup, nor because I did anything wrong..."
Author's words: Lu Xiaochan: I used to think that Brother Wuxi understood me the best! Turns out you are a big fool!
Shu Wuxi: What’s wrong with you
Lu Xiaochan: I want a kiss!
Shu Wuxi: I have always been gentle with you.
Lu Xiaochan: Is your hearing bad? Or your Mandarin bad? I am so mad!
