Chapter 119 Poaching
Xu Shu stayed up all night again. Although he delayed some work due to drinking, the manuscript was almost finished as expected.
After writing for a whole night, Xu Shu's hands were almost sore. Fortunately, these ancient vernacular and drama scripts were all about brevity and the number of words was not large.
If he were to write an online novel for the future, Xu Shu couldn't believe what his hands would look like.
He had finished the wine and written the manuscript, but he still felt a little depressed, which made him inexplicably anxious and he didn't want to sleep.
Just want to go see him.
Just give me a hug.
Just for a moment.
Xu Shu thought so and did so.
However, when he ran to the Huimin Hall and knocked on the door, he saw Qi Huairen with a dark face. Xu Shu's heart sank: "Did Xiao Mujin get into trouble?"
Qi Huairen rolled his eyes and said, "I'm telling you, if you can't bear to leave, just stay in Huimin Hall. How can my apprentice learn anything if you keep running here every other day?"
Xu Shu also knew that this was not a good idea, but Qi Huairen's words reminded him: "Divine Doctor, why don't you come live in our Shiqiao Village? Your place is old, I will open a new one for you."
"Go, go, go." Qi Huairen understood Xu Shu's thoughts very well. He was reluctant to leave his belongings in Shiqiao Village, and was worried about Mu Jinghua who was staying with him. He actually started to think about moving this old man away. What a shameless young man.
Xu Shu had this idea in mind, so he just laid it all out and said, "Last time, Lord Xiao gave me dozens of acres of good farmland, but I don't know how to grow crops, so I don't know what to plant."
"Farming?" Qi Huairen's beard was twisted with anger. "You still expect an old man like me to help you farm?"
Xu Shu smiled and said, "How dare I? It's just that you know a lot of herbs. If there is any problem with this herb field, you will definitely be the one who will be most responsible..."
"What?" Qi Huairen interrupted, "You mean the medicinal field?"
"After all, I don't know much about agriculture, but I have some experience with medicinal herbs. Of course, I have to plant a medicinal field and also prepare some for my little hibiscus."
"Oh, do you think I will agree to you like this?" Qi Huairen was obviously moved, but he couldn't save face, so he still kept a stubborn face.
Xu Shu naturally knew that it was not enough, and it was a bit early to talk about the medicinal field now, after all, he had not bought the seeds yet.
But he just couldn't wait. Last night, he inexplicably missed the days when he could go out with Xiao Mujin every day.
So Xu Shu also made up his mind this time: "As long as you come, 20% of the medicine field will be given to you."
Qi Huairen was a little shocked. In his eyes, Xu Shu was a stingy person who would not give others any advantage. But today...
Qi Huairen stroked his beard and said, "Brother Mu is here, without you to bother him, so he learns very quickly. You come every three or five days, and he always feels lost... He is very smart, and you are like this..."
Xu Shu immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes, it's not good for me to do this, so I need you to move to Shiqiao Village. As long as you can come to Shiqiao Village, I won't bother you every now and then..."
Qi Huairen was speechless for a moment.
Mu Jinghua couldn't wait any longer, so he pushed Qu Xiu beside him, and Qu Xiu asked for him, "What are you two whispering about? Master, how can you not let Brother Xu in?"
Qi Huairen was called out by his own apprentice and was annoyed for a moment: "You rascal, did he buy you off with just a few meals? And you're even speaking for him."
Qu Xiu chuckled, turned around and ran into the house.
Qi Huairen didn't bother about what Xu Shu said, and stroked his beard and went into the house.
Mu Jinghua and Xu Shu were the only ones left in the yard.
It's strange, Xu Shu was thinking about him at first, but now that he saw him, he felt a little embarrassed, and even too shy to hug him.
Seeing Xu Shu standing there stupidly, Mu Jinghua couldn't help but open his mouth and gestured: "What's the matter with you?"
Xu Shu hummed, but there was no sound.
Mu Jinghua was puzzled and took two steps forward to get closer to Xu Shu, but Xu Shu subconsciously took two steps back. He paused and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Xu Shu was also shocked by his own stupidity. He lowered his head in embarrassment: "I...I, um, I missed you a little last night."
Mu Jinghua seemed to be listening to him, but his mind was in a mess. Xu Shu's voice became lower and lower, and Mu Jinghua did not hear him say that he missed him.
He didn't hear it, so he didn't respond. It was the first time Xu Shu said such words, and he was too embarrassed to look at Mu Jinghua. He just felt that the atmosphere was so awkward that it made him want to commit suicide.
This level of suffering was not as good as the day he was trapped in the zombie horde and fought for three days and three nights.
Finally, Xu Shu couldn't hold it anymore and looked at Mu Jinghua first: "Xiao Mujin, do you think..."
Halfway through his words, Mu Jinghua's tears suddenly fell.
Xu Shu was stunned: "Crying...why are you crying? I think it's something that's worth being scared of?"
After Xu Shu asked this question, he suddenly felt that it was possible.
No matter how lonely and helpless Mu Jinghua was, she should not have no grudge against him because he killed so many people.
Especially since she had seen him kill someone last night, Xiao Mujin was frightened, and she seemed to have said something? Should she come over?
Would Mu Jinghua think that he was scary for saying that? Would he think that he was a pervert with a fake smile? Would he think that he was a possessive psychopath?
The more Xu Shu thought about it, the more it seemed possible, and he suddenly felt guilty for his bone-wrenching longing for her last night.
He had clearly always stuck to his bottom line and had never dared to invest too much emotion in an underage teenager, but what was the truth?
He compromised, but after only three times, he compromised.
What did he do after compromising?
He kissed him, he missed him, he loved him...
But how could someone like him do that?
Xu Shu suddenly understood everything, took a step back, and spoke again, but found that his voice was extremely hoarse: "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"
Mu Jinghua heard these words clearly, but his mind was confused. What did they say? What scared him?
He blinked his eyes and realized that he had cried again without realizing it. His mind was in a mess just now, and all he could think about was why Xu Shu took a step back and didn't even notice that he was crying.
Now realizing that Xu Shu had taken another step back, Mu Jinghua's heart couldn't help but fall to the bottom.
But then, he thought, no matter what nonsense Xu Shu said, he would just run towards him, pounce on him, hug him, and kiss him...
Doing nothing is the most stupid thing to do.
He has to do what he wants to do most.
The moment Mu Jinghua ran towards him, Xu Shu's mind went blank, but he still subconsciously reached out and hugged the boy.
The body in his arms was very thin, yet very soft, and trembling slightly. It was unclear whether it was because of crying or for some other reason. Xu Shu's heart softened, and then alarm bells started ringing in his mind.
Do you still want to do this? Are you going to continue to delay Xiao Mujin? Xu Shu, wake up a little. How can you be worthy of a person like you, a killing god like you?
So soft.
Xu Shu wanted to push him away, but Mu Jinghua had already kissed him on the lips.
