Chapter 258 I'm Not a Sick Person
Mu Nanzhao was silent for a while, "That makes sense."
"This concerns the lives and property of too many people. I really can't let this opportunity be delayed because of one person."
Gu Xixi nodded and smiled expectantly. Yeah! That's it! Let's figure it out sooner and go back sooner!
Mu Nanzhao raised his eyes and smiled, "So don't worry, I have reserved enough time and will be able to return to the army as scheduled."
Gu Xixi's breathing stagnated, "You!"
Mu Nanzhao felt that it was not enough and deliberately misinterpreted it, "Thank you for your concern, Boss Gu. I know what's going on."
Gu Xixi was furious, "Forget it, whatever you want."
She sneered again and glanced at him, "You said you would follow me for the next two days?"
"But you deserted the team in the middle of the battle. How dare you let people know that you were not in the army, but appeared in Huachidu Village, which is so far away?"
Mu Nanzhao's eyes were slightly cold, but there was still a smile on the corners of his lips, "Threatening me?"
Gu Xixi asked, "So you just don't dare?"
She paused and explained, "If you could show up, you wouldn't have to let the stones stand in the open to pretend while you hide in the dark and throw stones."
Mu Nanzhao raised his eyebrows slightly. This time he did not evade the question and answered truthfully, "Yes, I hid my whereabouts all the way because I didn't want anyone to know."
"If someone with ulterior motives discovers that I'm here, it will be detrimental to the stability of the front line and the safety of the village."
Gu Xixi said angrily, "You clearly know all these disadvantages, but you still..."
Mu Nanzhao stared calmly, "Because I am sure that the possibility of my whereabouts being leaked is very small. Even if I unfortunately lose control, I have a backup plan to ensure that I am safe."
Gu Xixi suddenly remembered what He Jinglan said, that Mu Nanzhao always strives to be meticulous in what he does, and he is very patient, just like a spider carefully weaving a big web.
Once he has truly accomplished it and actively let the prey in, it will be difficult for the prey to escape.
Gu Xixi knew that if she continued to pester him, she would not get any result, so she said, "Okay, I'm going to eat now. It's only two days, whatever you want."
"As for what you said about following me, I hope you can keep your word."
I can’t go out and let people see my face, so what can he do?
Gu Xixi left a mocking smile and walked away briskly.
That night, Mu Nanzhao returned to the west room. The furnishings had not changed, except for the bed...
He picked it up casually, looking at the few cat hairs pinched by his fingertips, his handsome face tense, "Shi Tou, what is this?"
Shitou came over holding the pillow Aunt Zhang had just given him, "Cat hair, maybe it's summer, Xiaohua has been shedding a lot of hair lately."
The little guy knew that his husband liked cleanliness, so he put down the pillow, bent down and patted the bed a few times.
Lighted by the oil lamp, the soft cat hair fluttered in the air, dancing in the wind.
Mu Nanzhao felt dizzy and quickly raised his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose.
"You let Xiaohua sleep in my bed?"
It was because he had touched Xiaohua in Stone Village that he discovered he was addicted.
The disease will only occur when the patient comes into contact with a cat. The eyes will turn red, and the skin will develop rashes that are hot and itchy.
Shitou said as a matter of course, "This is already my bed. Sister Xixi said that you are only staying temporarily this time, so let me be patient and share the same bed with you for the time being."
Before he could finish his words, Mu Nanzhao started sneezing.
He ran away sneezing repeatedly...
Shitou took Xiaohua to Gu Xixi's room to play.
Hearing him describe Mu Nanzhao's allergic reaction, Gu Xixi and He Jinglan pounded the bed and laughed wildly.
He Jinglan wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "He has never raised an animal before. I guess he doesn't even know he has this defect."
Gu Xixi laughed enough and said, "But we should keep it a secret for him, otherwise he might be knocked down by someone throwing a handful of cat hair at him on the battlefield."
The two of them laughed again.
In the west room, Mu Nanzhao was sitting at the table and vaguely heard laughter coming from the yard.
Just now I saw Shitou running away with Xiaohua in his arms. His cheerful little steps clearly showed that he was announcing his departure to the whole family.
Mu Nanzhao gritted his teeth expressionlessly.
It seems that since he left the village school, Master Liu has assigned too little homework every day.
Aunt Zhang said worriedly as she put on the new mattress, "Xiao Mu, you are too weak. You are always sick. This is the first time I've heard of you having a problem with not being able to touch cats."
"Tomorrow, ask Old Man Jiang to prescribe a prescription for you to strengthen your body. If you don't take good care of yourself while you are still young, you may have trouble having children in two years."
When Mu Nanzhao heard the word "weak body", he initially laughed it off.
By the end of the story, he almost coughed up his lungs.
Aunt Zhang glanced at them before leaving, shook her head and sighed, "Oh, how can we go on like this?"
Mu Nanzhao covered his chest and coughed, looking up in despair as Aunt Zhang left.
He was well again a long time ago!
He is not a sickly person!
The next morning, Gu Xixi did not go out, but stayed at home preparing what she would say when she went to the land temple in the afternoon.
Mu Nanzhao also stayed quietly, helping to chop wood and fetch water as before.
He Jinglan pushed the door open and walked into the room. "Xixi, I have already ordered people to notify several local Gu family leaders as you said. They promised to inform everyone one by one, and everyone who can arrive in the afternoon will definitely arrive."
Gu Xixi nodded, "Thank you very much."
"It's so hot today. I cooked some honeysuckle and candied dates soup. Have a bowl before going to the village school."
The first two classes this morning are Mr. Liu's, so He Jinglan can go later.
He Jinglan went out and saw Mu Nanzhao chopping wood.
After explaining it clearly last night, the whole family knew that they were childhood friends, and Gu Xixi also took the responsibility of hiding it.
The two of them no longer had to pretend that they were unfamiliar with each other.
He Jinglan walked over and looked at the firewood on the ground. "You must be so tired. Are you hot? Are you thirsty?"
"Did you know that Xixi cooked honeysuckle and jujube soup? Don't you know?"
He Jinglan pinched her waist and grinned smugly, "Xixi was worried that I would get a heat stroke, so she asked me to drink a bowl of sweet soup before going to the village school."
"When have you ever been treated like this?"
Snap, another piece of wood cracked.
Mu Nanzhao didn't even raise his head, and continued chopping wood with a cold face, "Oh."
He Jinglan made a face and imitated his tone, "Oh."
She fluttered away like a little butterfly, saying cheerfully, "I understand you, you are just jealous."
"But considering that we have known each other for many years, I will help you get a bowl and put it on the small table. Remember to drink it yourself later."
Snap! Snap! Snap! The sound of chopping wood became more frequent and louder.
In the afternoon, the land temple in Huachidu Village.
When Gu Xixi and others went in, the large courtyard of the land temple was already crowded with people.
All the relatives of the Gu family have also arrived. As Gu Xixi said, each family picked one person to come as a representative, in order to avoid too many people, making it noisy and noisy, with no room to stand and no ability to hear clearly.
Lao Qian was already waiting at the front.
Gu Xixi walked over and subconsciously looked into the crowd first.
Then she found it funny herself.
What are you thinking about? Everyone is watching here, how could Mu Nanzhao come here?
I didn't see him when I went out just now. He must be sleeping in the house.
