Chapter 36
Chapter 36
??Shi He and Mu Xiang came to the lower realm, where the capital of Daxiang was supposed to be. Now it has been replaced by a new capital, but the prosperity of the past has finally been restored.
??In the overcrowded teahouse, the two sat in the private room and ordered a table of delicious dishes.
??Mu Xiang didn't dare to look at Shi He. Even after so many things happened, he was still at a loss when he discovered his feelings for Shi He.
??Although now they are at a loss because of the intimacy between the two yesterday.
??Shi He looked at Mu Xiang very naturally, and saw that the roots of his ears were turning red little by little under his gaze, and that familiar dodging gaze, and suddenly realized that Mu Xiang was in the year when he tied his hair. Why dodge with him.
??Shi He looked at Mu Xiang absent-mindedly and asked, "Not to your liking?"
Mu Xiang regained consciousness and shook his head: "...No."
??Shi He thought for a while: "Is it because you are still unwell?"
"..." Mu Xiang was stiff all over, and turned his head away expressionlessly, "I don't feel any discomfort, it's fine."
?? Shi He picked up a piece of fish for him: "Then eat more."
?? Mu Xiang looked at the table of delicacies and asked in silence for a long time: "Master."
??Shi He raised his eyes: "Huh?"
??Mu Xiang euphemistically said: "Have you brought any money?"
??Shi He: "...you didn't bring it?"
??Where did Mu Xiang remember to bring money.He was dazed by Shi He's words, wishing he could immediately follow Shi He to live in the lower world, and in a hurry, he had nothing but a suit of clothes.
??"They come, the security."
??Since you have already ordered, let’s eat first.
?? Although the two have no money, they have a lot of valuables, which can be mortgaged first.
??After finishing the meal, Shi He took out the piece of wind jade, explained the reason to the shopkeeper, and will bring the silver later.
??The shopkeeper is also a person with a wink. Shi He and Mu Xiang look extraordinary in their clothes, and they are not the ones who are short of money. Moreover, this jade pendant is worth a lot of money, even if these two people If they really go and never come back, they don't lose money.
?? Mu Xiang watched all this and moved his lips, but didn't say anything.
??On the way to the pawn shop, Mu Xiang never looked at Shi He directly, nor did he initiate a conversation.
??Shi He took out the warm jade that was close to him and asked the pawnshop owner to value it.
??During the period, he looked back at the little apprentice and asked, "Unhappy?"
??Mu Xiang pursed her lower lip: "No."
??Shi He didn't listen to his rebuttal: "Why are you unhappy?"
?? "..." Mu Xiang stopped talking, lowered his head and stopped answering.
??It happened that the boss also confirmed the value, and said with some embarrassment: "This jade pendant of yours is rare in the world. It feels warm when it is attached to the skin. It should be a priceless treasure. It is really difficult to price it here."
??Shi He replied: "It's okay, you look at the price."
The boss pondered for a long time: "Look at this, put this jade pendant in the small one first, and tell me how much bank note you are short of, and I will get it for you. When you have enough money, you can bring the bank note to exchange for this jade pendant. What do you think?"
??The pawn shop is naturally not short of money. If you can earn a contact with a little banknotes, you will not lose money.
??The person who can produce such a jade pendant will naturally have a high status.
?? Shi He agreed and said a not-so-small sum.
??Although the boss was surprised, he took it out readily and delivered it to Shihe himself.
??After leaving the pawn shop, they rushed back to the restaurant. When they were about to reach the door, Shihe suddenly realized: "Are you unhappy because I delivered the jade pendant to the shopkeeper?"
??When Shi He took out the jade pendant, he didn't think too much about it. To him, these things were all belongings outside his body. When Mu Xiang said to return it to him and don't want it, he thought that he really didn't want it.
Seeing that Mu Xiang still didn't say anything, Shi He was quite helpless: "Take it back now."
??But when they entered the restaurant, it was a mess inside. The shopkeeper turned pale when he saw them, but he rushed up to greet them as soon as possible: "Guest officers, I'm really sorry, the jade pendant you just arrived here was stolen!"
??Shi He: "..."
??Mu Xiang clenched his fist: "Where's the person?"
??The shopkeeper saw that his expression was extremely bad, and hurriedly said: "We have already sent people to chase after him. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation!"
??Mu Xiang: "Where did you go?"
"This..." The shopkeeper was shocked by his eyes, and immediately said, "Go back to this young man, the thief has gone to Liuxiang."
??Mu Xiang immediately turned his head, jumped onto the beam of the house, and came back after a while, holding Shi He's forearm awkwardly, and said in a low voice, "I'm offended."
??…
?? Neither Mu Xiang nor Shi He expected that this Willow Alley, as the name suggests, is Fireworks Willow Alley.
??Mu Xiang stood at the door for a long while, remembering that in the last reincarnation, he was lying on the same couch with Shi He, and the woman named Lianzhi next to him was yelling something like Meng Lang...
??Shi He looked at Mu Xiang without knowing why, why did the roots of his ears turn red again?
?? He thought, could it be because he seldom came to such an open place?
?? "If you are calm, you will be fine." Shi He approached first, and the bustard immediately greeted him.
Mu Xiang numbly followed Shi He into the red building, and the bustard enthusiastically asked them what kind of girl they wanted.
??Shi He directly gave her a silver ticket, described the shopkeeper's general appearance of the thief, and asked her if she had seen it before: "There is a mole on the bridge of the nose and between the eyes."
?? "This..." The madam hesitated, but obviously knew something.
??Shi He gave her another bank note.
??The bustard immediately smiled, hesitated for a while and said: "The girl you are looking for, you don't accept guests!"
??Mu Xiang: "..."
??girl?The shopkeeper said it was a man.
??Shi He thought for a while: "Allow me to see her, I have something to ask her."
?? "Okay! Lao Zhao, go and call Xiaoying to listen to Xiangge!"
?? It was because Shi He paid too much money. The bustard was very enthusiastic and arranged a private room with an excellent environment for them. Not to mention, she even wanted to help Shi He go up to the second floor.
??Mu Xiang violently waved her hand away: "Go your way, don't move!"
??The old bustard's hands were all red, and she wasn't angry, but just groaned, and said to Shi He: "The guards of the son's house are so fierce, they will scare our girl."
??Mu Xiang's face was as black as carbon.
?? No need to ask this time, Shi He knows that Mu Xiang is angry.
?? He held Mu Xiang's hand, pulled him closer and said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense, this is Brother She."
??The bustard was curious while leading the way: "The two young masters don't look alike at all."
?? If it wasn't for being led by Shi He, Mu Xiang would have made a move: "What does it have to do with you?"
??The old bustard blinked, ouched, and suddenly realized: "I understand! The two of you are 'brothers of the opposite sex'?"
?? The old bustard's tone was tingly, and Mu Xiang's skin was covered with goosebumps. After entering the private room, he immediately asked the old bustard to go down, and quickly brought the man up.
?? If it wasn't for getting back the jade pendant, he wouldn't want to stay here for a second.
??The old bustard left wisely, and left a sentence before taking it to the door: "The two young masters are really suitable for each other!"
??Mu Xiang: "...?"
??It was only later that Mu Xiang found out that the atmosphere of the mortal world is more open than the Da Xiang he knew. Love between men and men is not a rare thing, and if a man and a man want to spend the rest of their lives with each other, in order to prevent If others speak badly, they will spend the rest of their lives as brothers of the opposite sex in a low-key manner.
??Xiao Xie was quickly brought up. She was indeed dressed in women's clothes, and she lowered her head and refused to lift it up.
??Mu Xiang frowned, the more he looked at it, the more familiar he looked: "Chang Qing?"
??Xiao Xie breathed a sigh of relief instantly, so she admitted the wrong person?
??He raised his head, and when he saw Shi He beside him, he was stupefied. Damn, he was right, it was the owner of the jade pendant he just stole!
?? He turned around and wanted to escape, but Mu Xiang came to him in an instant and grabbed his shoulder.
??Mu Xiang forcibly raised his chin, and took a closer look. This person looks exactly the same as Chang Qing, except for the mole between the eyes, there is almost no difference.
?? But Chang Qing should have died. In the first life, he died before the plague and died under Mu Xiang's subordinates.
?? Shi He said: "It's reincarnation."
??Mu Xiang questioned: "...Samsara became an unarmed one?"
??Shi He: "..."
??Even though he felt sorry for Daxiang's thousands of souls, Mu Xiang still didn't like Changqing.
??He thought for a second, then suddenly threw Chang Qing onto the bed, and then took off his pants.
??Xiao Yu opened her throat and shouted: "Help! Help! Robbing women in broad daylight!!!"
??Mu Xiang sneered: "Shout, they took the money, it's useless for you to shout."
?? Shi He on the side: "..."
??My apprentice and partner who has already had a bed relationship is picking up the pants of another unknown man. Should I stop it or let it go?
?? Xiao Xiao's pants were easily torn off by Mu Xiang: "Is there any way?"
??Shi He walked up to Mu Xiang and pulled him away helplessly, but Mu Xiang immediately covered his eyes: "You are not allowed to look."
??Shi He: "..."
??Xiao Xiao: "...Help, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
?? Before his little girl could stop talking, a figure suddenly came in: "My lord, please spare me!"
??The visitor ignored the madam's tugging, and knelt down in front of them with a plop: "It's sister She who is ignorant and took something that shouldn't be taken. I beg the two young masters to spare her life!"
?? "..." Mu Xiang frowned as he looked at the man in front of him who looked a lot like Mu Yu, Prince of Daxiang.
?? Even more upset.
?? These two people are involved in reincarnation, which is very annoying.
?? "Take it?" He said coldly, "This is theft. After reporting it to the government, it will be dealt with according to the king's law."
??Today's royal law, stealing is a crime based on value. The higher the value of the theft, the deeper the crime, and the most serious one can be sentenced to death.
??The visitor was startled, a little desperate: "Sister She is still young, if you two young masters want to arrest me, just arrest me! Treat it as if I stole it!"
?? "You said you stole it if you stole it? Then what's the use of the king's law?"
?? Seeing that the reincarnated Mu Yu seemed to really regard Xiaoyou as his younger sister, Mu Xiang directly brought him in front of Xiaoyou: "Take a good look to see if he is your sister."
??Mu Yu's name in this life is Chang Luo. He has been in poor health since he was a child. In order to support himself, he came to the back kitchen of the Red Mansion to do some odd jobs for a living. He also met Xiao Xiao here. "She" was sold. Chang Luo saw 'She' was too young and couldn't bear it, so she spent all her savings to redeem it and brought it with her.
??The two have been living together for two years, and Chang Luo really regards Xiaoying as her own sister.
??In the past two years, his health has become more and more serious, and the money needed to buy medicines has also increased. Xiaoyue can only go out to steal behind his back. This time, he happened to be caught by him. When returning the things, the old bustard sent someone to take him away.
??Chang Luo's eyes have already touched the two white and thin legs of Xiaoxie. When 'she' has been robbed of her innocence, she feels sad in her heart, and it is impossible to look directly at the body of 'sister', so she can only hang her head in pain. .
??It would be nice if he fights a little bit.
??If he came from a better background, or if he got a little bit of fame, he would be able to protect his young lady, so that she wouldn't go out and rob him for his medical treatment.
??Mu Xiang laughed angrily, and directly lifted Xiao Xie's clothes, and shoved Chang Luo in front of him: "Open your eyes and see!"
??Xiao Xiao shouted weakly: "Brother..."
??As long as it is because of a guilty conscience, after all, he has been lying to Chang Luo. At first, he felt that Chang Luo felt pity for him because he was a daughter, and he made the mistake because he was afraid of being driven away.
?? Later, I got used to my daughter's dressing up, and I didn't know how to confess to Chang Luo for a while, so I dragged it until now.
??Chang Luo was stunned for a moment: "Little girl... are you a boy?"
?? Xiao Xiao nodded heavily: "Brother, I know I was wrong!"
??Mu Xiang looked at it coldly, and didn't give them time to be emotional: "Where is my jade pendant?"
??Chang Luo woke up like a dream, and quickly took out the jade pendant in his arms: "As long as the young master doesn't report to the official, let the two of us do anything!"
??Mu Xiang took the jade pendant and wiped it with his clothes, grabbed Shi He and left without looking back.
??Shi He was a little surprised. He didn't interfere with Mu Xiang's actions. He thought that Mu Xiang would report to the officials or make them pay the price they should pay, but in the end he didn't do anything.
??Chang Luo and Xiao Xie hugged each other with lingering fear behind them, as if they were alive after a catastrophe.
??They returned to the restaurant again, and the shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that they had found the jade pendant: "The two young masters are really skilled! I see that the two young masters seem to have come from a long way, do you need to stay in the restaurant? The small one can open for the two young masters." Let the two go up to the room and apologize."
?? The implication is that no cash will be charged if you stay overnight.
??The night is indeed getting dark, Shi He nodded slightly: "One room is enough."
??Mu Xiang's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.
??Shi He suddenly asked: "Ah Xiang, do you want to live in this capital?"
"...everything is fine." Mu Xiang naturally doesn't care, as long as Shi He is there, it doesn't matter where he is.
??Shi He: "Then we will buy a house tomorrow, and we will settle here."
??Mu Xiang was playing with the phoenix jade in his hand, and had no intention of returning it to Shi He. He was silent for a while and asked, "Is it because of cause and effect that they have ended up like this in this life?"
?? Shi He Wei Dun: "Yes."
?? In his previous life, Mu Yu was the prince of Daxiang, admired by thousands of people. He was supposed to lead Daxiang to prosperity, but he was reluctant to take the throne because of his personal interests. In the end, he was seized by someone with a heart.
??The first life they experienced, in the end, Luo Huang, the only queen of Daxiang, became the empress. Shi He, who had no memory, was deeply hurt by it, and Mu Xiang later did stupid things to save Shihe.
??And Chang Qing 'bewitched' the emperor of a country to engage in an affair that shouldn't be involved. Without him, Mu Yu would never have said it in the battle for the heir, and to put it more seriously, it would be a disaster for the court.
??One of the two did not do what he should do, and Zhi Daxiang eventually went to the end of perdition, and the other was greedy for feelings that he shouldn't think about. Naturally, there will be no good results in re-entering reincarnation.
?? But at least, reincarnated as a human.
??Mu Xiang asked suddenly: "What about you?"
??Shi He was startled: "Me?"
?? Mu Xiang's eyes were red, and she pursed her lips and looked at Shi He.
??He has borne the supreme sin for himself. Although there is still a chance of reincarnation, how can the next life be better than Mu Yu?
??Even if you want to be a human again, it may be very difficult.
?? Shi He sighed softly: "Don't worry too much, the way of heaven has its own measure."
??The waiter who came up to deliver hot water interrupted the stalemate between the two. Mu Xiang only asked someone to release a bucket of water, but the bucket was large enough to accommodate the two of them.
"Let's take a bath." Mu Xiang took a deep breath and stopped worrying about the afterlife.
?? If there is an afterlife, what does it have to do with him?
?? He couldn't find it, and Shi He couldn't remember this body.
?? When he took off his outer robe, Shi He wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed him on the forehead: "Don't think too much, live the moment."
??The tears that Mu Xiang had finally suppressed began to come up again. How could he not think too much?
?? He even wanted to yell at Shi He, if the two of them switched places, if Shi He was the one who received all the gifts, then he could really live the rest of his life with peace of mind?
?? Mu Xiang can't do it, and doesn't want to do it.
?? He really didn't want to break the rare warmth of the moment, and stepped into the hot water with Shi He, skin to skin.
?? In matters of love, Shi He is much calmer than him.
??Shi He noticed that Mu Xiang was moving, so he kissed him like last night.
??Mu Xiang hugged Shi He's shoulder obediently, hiding the sadness in his eyes.
??The ambient temperature gradually became hotter than the water temperature. Mu Xiang's neck drew a perfect arc in the air. He tensed his body and couldn't help grinding his teeth on Shi He's shoulder: "Master..."
Mu Xiang didn't dare to really open his mouth for fear of biting his neck like the last time when Shi He decided to leave in reincarnation, because he was afraid that one of his own would injure Shi He's uncultivated mortal body.
"Uncomfortable?" Shi He didn't know, so he stopped and waited for Mu Xiang's answer.
?? "..." Mu Xiang's breath stuck in his throat and he felt uncomfortable, "Leave me alone."
?? Naturally, it is impossible for Shi He to ignore it, so he has to ask from time to time: "Is this still uncomfortable?"
??"how about this?"
?? "Ah Xiang doesn't like it here?"
"Go back to the bed?"
??Mu Xiang crumpled on Shi He's shoulder. If it was someone else, then asking these questions would probably be an intentional flirting, but it seems extremely serious when placed on Shi He.
?? He was picked up by Shi He, and the water splashed loudly. When the sound subsided, they also returned to the couch. Mu Xiang turned over and pressed Shi He: "Stop talking."
??Shi He looked at the apprentice on his body: "...Huh?"
??Mu Xiang really couldn't bear Shi He's straightforward question, he repeated: "Don't talk, don't move, I will do it myself."
?? Shi He has always followed him: "Okay."
??Mu Xiang supported Shi He's chest, and his ears were red to his toes. He didn't dare to look into Shi He's eyes. He was always afraid that at this time, he would see that there was no wave inside, and it was as calm as water.
??He pulled out his hair band to cover Shi He's eyes, and finally mustered up the courage to lower his head and kiss the corner of Shi He's lips.
?? Shi He seemed to be afraid of falling, so he held his waist slightly.
??But Shi Hezhen hasn't said a word from the beginning till now.
??Mu Xiang felt that she was sleeping with a luxurious and delicate puppet.
??So when Mu Xiang's tears dripped on his body, Shi He pulled off his hairband and asked, "What's wrong?"
??Mu Xiang pursed her lips: "You don't talk."
"..." Shi He was silent for a second, "Didn't you say not to talk?"
??Mu Xiang glanced over her head: "Then don't talk about it."
??Shi He didn't understand why he took him into his arms. He was really helpless: "Then should I say it or not?"
?? He said: "Ah Xiang, please explain clearly."
??Mu Xiang couldn't explain clearly. He wanted Shi He to respond, not to move or say nothing, but he didn't want Shi He to say those straightforward words.
?? Seeing that he didn't speak, Shi He changed the position of the person just like yesterday: "Don't cry——my fault."
??Mu Xiang was taken aback, his eyes were sour, could this be Shi He coaxing him?
??The candles in the house were lit all night, and Mu Xiang fell into a deep sleep on the second day.
??The only thought before going to bed, why his master lost his cultivation and can still do it all night...
??—
??The house was quickly booked, the bank notes were paid, and the land contract was signed. This will be their next home.
?? After half a month, they finally moved in. Looking at the empty yard, Mu Xiang suddenly thought: "What's missing?"
??Shi He: "Huh?"
??Mu Xiang brought Shi He to the red building, found the old bustard and planned to take Chang Luo and Xiao Xie away, but was told that Chang Luo had died of illness.
?? Mu Xiang was startled: "When?"
?? "Three days ago." The old bustard sighed slightly, "He is also a poor child. He is so seriously ill and the medicine is too expensive. How can the two of them afford it?"
"Where's Miss?"
?? "Still in his brother's room. I have been crying for several days, and the funeral is also handled by him."
??People like Chang Luo have nothing to do with the funeral. They don't even have the money to buy a coffin, so they can only find a wasteland to bury the bones, put up a simple tombstone, and wait for the grave to grow overgrown.
??Mu Xiang said: "Take me to have a look."
??The old bustard took them to the backyard, but he didn't expect that when he opened the door, he saw the little girl hanging on the beam of the wall, already silent.
??Mu Xiang moved her fingertips slightly, but remained silent.
??Shi He watched all this quietly, and suddenly seemed to see the end of Mu Xiang after he left.
??The author has something to say: the third update, and tomorrow's update two and one.
