urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 76 Gossip 5
It was already afternoon when Wu Dagui left.

When Mu Zhaozhao thought that the leisurely days were coming to an end, he waved his hand like a general and said, "There is no need to prepare dinner, let's go hunting! Eat whatever you hunt."

Xinxin looked at the sun that was about to set, and said straightforwardly: "Miss, when we go to the mountain, it will be dark, then it's not that we go hunting, but that we become the prey that comes to the door automatically."

"Stupid girl!" Mu Zhaozhao pointed in the direction of the bamboo forest: "Let's go hunting in the bamboo forest today. If we hunt chickens, we can try lotus leaf chicken. If we hunt ducks, it's stewed duck with dried bamboo shoots. If we hunt sheep, we can try it." , then directly roast the lamb."

The eyes of the three maids lit up, and they felt that they would definitely gain a lot today.

Who would have expected that the chickens raised in the bamboo forest in the backyard were not vegetarians. Seeing these people coming over with a 'murderous look', they instantly turned into 'flying chicken heroes' and ran in the bamboo forest.

For Mu Zhaozhao and the three servant girls, the arrow either missed or hit the bamboo.

Even if no one saw it, I felt a little ashamed.

The cows, sheep, and pigs grazing outside the courtyard didn't pay much attention to them. They thought they were here to support their parents, so they all came over to have a look.

It made them unable to strike at once, fearing that they would not be killed by an arrow, and their shrill cries would make people panic.

In the end, I asked the husband and wife from the guard house here to catch a chicken for them, wrapped it in lotus leaves to make beggar chicken, and slaughtered a duck, which was also very fragrant when stewed with dried bamboo shoots.

As for the big guys like pigs, cows, and sheep, they can't eat much less, and they plan to take them with them when they go back.

Although this other courtyard is now given to Yu Wanniang, there are still a lot of livestock raised here, which will continue to supply the Meng family.

After running around for a while, now that they are full again, and everyone is tired, Mu Zhaozhao waited for the maids to help him take a bath and change clothes, and then yawned: "Okay, you all go to bed too!"

After they retreated and closed the door with their backhands, she was covered with a thin quilt and soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I heard the sound of dogs one after another.

The area at the foot of the West Mountain is the other courtyards of the dignitaries in the capital. Mu Zhaozhao, who woke up in the middle of the night, was a little dazed.

Who came here in the middle of the night?

Don't worry if it's a thief who steals and steals, but it will be miserable if it's a thief.

Of course, she was just thinking wildly on her own, and she didn't feel very scared, because the foot of the West Mountain is very close to the capital, and there are monks protecting the temple at the Puji Temple halfway up the mountain, and there are not many nobles who come to escape the summer heat at this time. What kind of bad guy can come?

Sure enough, the dogs quickly quieted down, and Mu Zhaozhao also closed his eyes again and prepared to continue sleeping.

However, she felt that there was someone more in her room, and that person was walking towards her step by step.

The hairs on Mu Zhaozhao's back stood up, he trembled uncontrollably, and he regretted it to death. If he had known that he would meet the gangsters, he would have gone back a long time ago, and he would never stay for two more days.

I don't know if Xiaoxiao's generation wants to rob money or sex.

Even a weak woman like herself couldn't resist...but she quietly pulled out the dagger for self-defense from the pillow.

This was bought by myself and my mother when they came to the capital last year, and I didn't expect it to be used now.

Just when Mu Zhaozhao was about to have someone attack her, she took the opportunity to strike him with a dagger.

Unexpectedly, the person who came came to a halt, flicked the torch, and lit the candles on the table.

Mu Zhaozhao also saw who was coming, and was so angry that he almost wanted to curse: "Qin...ke cough cough cough..."

Although it was unexpected that it was Qin Mu, she felt that her life was saved again. Originally, she wanted to yell at her, but she didn't know if it was because she was too nervous. She choked on her own saliva and coughed non-stop.

Mint, who was resting in the room next to her, woke up and knocked on her door: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Do you want a drink?"

Qin Mu didn't expect her to be so excited when she saw him, and she didn't expect her to live here. Hearing the voice of the servant girl outside, he hurriedly whispered: "Don't let her in."

Otherwise, if people saw them in the same room at night, it wouldn't sound good to spread the word.

This time they captured the two women alive, and a group of people behind the other side began to assassinate them and the two hostages.

This also showed that the two women in their hands were not unknown. Commander Zhao was also worried that the two women were in a hurry to take people back to return, so he simply divided his troops into several groups.

Qin Mu also galloped 'with a person behind his back' on his horse. The other party was really fooled, and finally killed the two people who caught up with him, but it also left him with two more wounds.

He secretly rejoiced that he finally came back alive, but in the middle of the night, the city gate was closed, and he couldn't enter the capital, so he simply came to the other courtyard to rest for the night.

He has also been to this other courtyard a few times, and the place he lived in at the beginning was regarded as his own house by default, but when he came in, he felt that there were people in the house. For a moment, he suspected that the assassins were also in ambush. This.

Fortunately, he noticed that the breathing was flustered, it couldn't be such a weak killer, and he also smelled a faint fragrance in the room, which seemed like a girl's boudoir.

Puzzled, he cautiously lit a candle, but unexpectedly saw his little cousin in his room.

She was wearing a moon-white tunic and looked at herself excitedly, guessing she wanted to call herself?Who knew but coughed.

This summer's clothes were already thin, and when she coughed, her eyes, which were originally clean and clear, became wet and a layer of water appeared.

Her cheeks were also dyed a thin red, making her more delicate and charming.

Especially the jumping place, it seems that there are naughty little rabbits inside who refuse to stay inside obediently.

Qin Mu's Adam's apple rolled, quickly moved his eyes away, and then quietly swallowed.

At this moment, Mu Zhaozhao also noticed that Qin Mu was no longer as neat as before, his hair was in a mess, his clothes were dirty and torn, and there seemed to be the smell of sweat and... blood?

Mu Zhaozhao also snapped back to his senses, swallowed the urge to cough, and said to the girl outside: "Mint, go back to sleep, I just choked on tea."

Mint didn't expect that the lady would lie to herself, the main reason was that Mu Zhaozhao's voice and tone were the same as usual, so he returned to his room.

Mu Zhaozhao quickly jumped out of bed and hid behind the screen, picked up the plain sash embroidered with a silver vase on the screen and put it on, and then put on the plain skirt, then walked to Qin Mu and asked nervously: " Are you injured? Do you want someone to call for a doctor?"

Can she not be nervous, in the middle of the night, there is a living man in her room, and she still wants to have a little bit of boudoir reputation.

I also don't want to be gossiped about myself.

But what was more serious was that this man's complexion was ugly. If he died, he would not be able to clean himself up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

She knew how much his grandma and father Meng valued him. Even if she had no motive to kill, the crime of neglecting to save him was serious enough.

Qin Mu simply sat on the stool after she fled like a rabbit and hid behind the screen. Originally, he wanted to keep his eyes straight, but his eyes were not very obedient, and he still saw the frantic figure through the screen.

When he heard her asking himself nervously and concernedly, the look on his face that wanted to take off his clothes warmed his heart.

He knew that the little girl liked him, but because he had a fiancée, she didn't dare to reveal anything, and would just look at him stupidly.

Now that she was injured, Qin Mu said in a low voice when she saw how worried she was about to cry: "Don't be afraid, I was injured a little bit, but don't disturb others, because being seen by others will damage your boudoir reputation."

Hearing this, Mu Zhaozhao reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth: Brother, if you think I have a good reputation, shouldn't you leave now as soon as possible?
Qin Mu said again: "However, I'm worried that some people will catch up. Just spending the night outside can protect you."

"Ah?" Hearing this, Mu Zhaozhao was so frightened that he couldn't help shivering, and asked in a low voice, "There are still bad people chasing you?"

Qin Mu couldn't guarantee whether someone would catch up, so he nodded silently.

Mu Zhaozhao immediately decided that he must stay here at night to protect himself. He can't eat or wear things like boudoir reputation, and his own life is more important.

She quickly picked up the teapot and got him a cup of tea, maybe because she wasn't brave enough, the hand holding the teapot was trembling slightly.

Mu Zhaozhao, who felt that his life depended on other people's protection, became courteous in an instant: "Cousin, drink a cup of tea, and eat some tuckahoe cakes to fill your stomach."

Poria cocos is a very good Chinese herbal medicine, and it can also be made into very delicious snacks.

It is as thin as paper and white as snow. It is sandwiched with a variety of nuts, supplemented with sweet-scented osmanthus, honey, etc. It is crystal clear, sweet and fragrant, and melts in the mouth. It is refreshing and palatable, especially suitable for eating in summer.

Now she is holding a plate containing Poria biscuits and handing it in front of him, her ten fingers are as slender as jade, it looks more appetizing than Poria biscuits.

No, Qin Mu immediately looked away, feeling that his concentration was getting worse and worse.

But he was really hungry, so he ate five pieces of Poria cocos cakes and a pot of tea unceremoniously.

Seeing that he could still eat, Mu Zhaozhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the smell of blood from her nose was getting stronger and stronger, so she could only hold back her fear and ask, "Big cousin, how is your wound?" Already? I have some wound medicine here, how about I apply it to you?"

Looking at her worried eyes, Qin Mu hesitated for a while, and decided not to refuse his cousin's kindness anymore.

Besides, I inadvertently broke into her house today, and it is true that I offended the lonely man and widow, so I must be responsible in the future.

Now that they have decided to marry her, she is not an outsider, and sooner or later she will see her body.

Moreover, all the wound medicines he brought were used up along the way. I was afraid that the wound should be treated as soon as possible. After a little hesitation, he smiled at her: "Then I will trouble my cousin."
