Chapter 24 Exclusive Advertising
"No, no, I don't want to know anything!" Hu Xin'er said quickly in a hoarse voice, with resistance written all over her body.
She was clearly afraid to speak directly. Mu Qing saw through her thoughts and asked cautiously, "Why are you so scared after going out?"
Hu Xiner said no, but her body was shaking violently.
Mu Qing's eyes turned fierce. "Did you encounter any bad guys on the road? Don't be afraid. You can tell me whatever happened."
He hugged Hu Xiner, wanting to comfort her.
Hu Xiner wanted to cry but had no tears, and trembled even more violently, thinking to herself, aren't you the biggest villain?
Through the instinctive reaction of the person in his arms, Mu Qing finally realized that she was actually afraid of herself.
He felt mixed emotions for a moment, and after thinking silently for a while, he took out the dagger.
When Hu Xiner saw the sharp dagger, her head began to throb. Her body felt dizzy and weak due to the high fever. She had no intention of thinking about anything else. She only felt that Mu Qing really wanted to kill her to silence her.
"Please don't kill me, I won't tell anyone!" She was so scared that tears streamed down her face, but she couldn't break free from Mu Qing's hand.
Looking at Hu Xin'er begging for mercy and crying loudly in his arms, Mu Qing's face was full of black lines: "Why do you think I want to kill you?"
Is this the truth about women's hearts?
Hu Xin'er collapsed and said, "Stop pretending. Aren't you a wanted bandit by the imperial court?"
Mu Qing was stunned: "You, why are you..."
Hu Xin'er cried bitterly, "You pretended to have lost your memory before, and claimed that you didn't know martial arts, but you pulled out a dagger from nowhere in an instant and used it to interrogate me!"
Mu Qing was helpless: "Are all those who hold daggers bad people? Butcher Li Sangui carries a machete every day, but in your eyes, isn't he a good person?"
Hu Xin'er was stunned by the question: "Then, how can they be the same? Li Sangui is a butcher, he won't come to kill me."
Mu Qing pursed his lips, his eyes filled with disappointment. Could it be that in Hu Xiner's eyes, he was not as good as a pig butcher?
He handed over the dagger: "Take a closer look, what's the difference between this and an ordinary dagger?"
Hu Xiner still had tears on her face. She carefully took the dagger and noticed that it was lighter than ordinary ones. The handle was inlaid with cloud-shaped white jade, which was obviously not an ordinary object.
I looked at it over and over again, and other than that, it was no different from any other dagger.
Unexpectedly, seeing that she was puzzled, Mu Qing took the dagger and stabbed it into his abdomen.
"What are you doing?" Hu Xiner covered her eyes in fear and tears fell again.
"You heartless little thing, you still feel sorry for me?" Mu Qing said unhappily.
Hu Xiner only dared to take her hand away to look after hearing his powerful voice. Mu Qing was unharmed, and the dagger was already hidden at his waist.
Hu Xin'er thought that he was going to die anyway, so she bravely touched the dagger. It turned out that the dagger had a soft blade, similar to a modern toy knife, but it was more lethal than a toy knife. That's why she never noticed he had a dagger on him.
Although she didn't know how powerful it was, she didn't understand Mu Qing's true intention. A dagger has a soft blade, so can't it kill people?
Don't take it too easy when dealing with a weakling like her!
Mu Qing was silent for a moment and then said, "This knife was given to me by my mother before she died. I can promise that I will never use this dagger to harm anyone."
If this were a comic, bubbles of ridicule would be constantly popping up above Hu Xin'er's head: "Brother, how many strikes does it take to kill the ghost that has taken over Hu Xin'er's body?"
Seeing that she didn't believe him, Mu Qing knew that the trust between him and Hu Xin'er had been completely broken. He felt a little regretful, but more of a pain.
He muttered, "Many things in this world are like daggers. Whether they can be used to protect or harm others depends on who holds them."
Mu Qing spoke in a very literary way. Hu Xiner seemed to understand him but not quite. She did not dare to ask any more questions and was just confused in her heart.
Mu Qing always spoke in such a vague way, as if he had said everything, but he did not answer whether he was a bandit or a murderer.
The purpose of a dagger depends on the person holding it. Does this mean that whether he will use the knife to hurt people depends on who he is facing?
Or was it a warning to himself not to cause trouble again? To avoid constant commotion at home and arousing suspicion from others?
In this case, it is reasonable for him not to intend to kill Hu Xiner, at least in the short term, otherwise the murder case will be tied to him, which will be difficult for him to hide his identity.
Thinking of this, Hu Xin'er burst into a strong desire to survive, and immediately swore obediently: "Don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut and never think about it again, nor will I ask about your background!"
She tried to get up, but was stopped by Mu Qing: "What are you going to do?"
"Give you back that gorgeous dress!"
Mu Qing lowered his eyebrows slightly: "Don't you suspect that I am a bandit and want to kill you?"
There is a hint of grievance in this expression.
Hu Xin'er thought to herself: "What's the point of me doubting you? The more I doubt you, the more you want to kill me!"
But he said, "I was scared that day and thought too much. You also said that no matter what happened in the past, you are now just a homeless person who was rescued by me."
Both of them recalled the scene when they said this. They were full of affection in the past, but now there is only sigh.
Mu Qing hesitated to speak. Hu Xiner felt her throat was dry and itchy, so she started coughing violently.
He quickly helped her drink another bowl of water. Seeing that she was feeling better, he slowly said, "No matter what, I will never be willing to hurt you."
Hu Xin'er said in a hoarse voice, "You should keep the gorgeous clothes. You should know where they are."
Seeing that she changed the subject, Mu Qing felt a little disappointed: "Those clothes are useless to me and are actually a burden. You keep them for me and you can sell them when you need them."
Hu Xiner secretly complained that this dress was exclusive to the royal family, and if an outsider took it without permission, wouldn’t that be courting death?
But he still nodded in agreement obediently.
She was sick and looked listless. Mu Qing felt a little distressed, but he also felt that she was much cuter when she didn't speak. At least she wouldn't hurt his heart with her strange and cautious words.
"Drink more hot water." Mu Qing showed his straight man's concern.
While they were talking, the heavy rain outside had stopped and the sound of people walking outside the house could be heard. Hu Xiner thought that the flyers she had distributed might have taken effect and wanted to get out of bed to take a look.
Mu Qing said, "You have a good rest. I'll go out and take a look."
Hu Xiner was worried, so she walked to the window on her slippers and leaned on it. She saw Mrs. Li and several other women walking in, talking and laughing.
"Hey! Mu Qing is home too? He looks down, was he scolded by his wife?"
Seeing Mu Qing, the other women all looked at him with admiration and started to tease him. Only Sister Li came forward and greeted him warmly: "Is Xin'er home? I came to ask her something."
"Xin'er has a fever. Sister Li, just tell me if you have anything to say."
"This..." Mrs. Li hesitated.
It turned out that Mrs. Li came to ask for her own exclusive "advertisement"...
