Chapter 234 Burden
But at this moment, the smell of blood in the cave was almost all on Xu Shu, so Xu Shu didn't think much about it.
In order to save electricity, after Mu Jinghua treated his wound, Xu Shu turned off the flashlight and lit a bonfire.
Although the campfire is not as bright as a flashlight, it is warm at least.
Mu Jinghua was sitting behind him, looking exhausted and showing no intention of moving.
Xu Shu first took a look at his face. Although his lips were pale, he seemed to be in good spirits.
Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and took a moment to look around the cave.
The cave is very large, about five meters wide and three meters high. An underground river runs across the middle of the cave. The water flows very fast, but the river is not very deep.
The cave was very clean and even retained traces of human life. Xu Shu found a worn blanket and several dusty jars in a corner.
However, he had no intention of touching these things. After all, he had the space ring and there were only him and Xiao Mujin here, so there was no need to hide.
Xu Shu turned around and made sure that there were no unknown creatures in the cave before he began to think about his next steps.
The Qiao family army will definitely not withdraw easily, and it is impossible for them to return to Shiqiao Village in a short period of time.
Why not live in this cave for a while? They have plenty of supplies anyway, so they can just treat it as camping.
A lot of things have happened during this period of time, and it is necessary to have a good talk with Xiao Mujin.
Xu Shu thought through his next plan, sat back next to Mu Jinghua, and was about to speak.
Mu Jinghua had already fallen on him. His breathing was shallow and the not-so-warm breath hit Xu Shu's neck, causing his body to stiffen.
"Little Hibiscus?" Xu Shu couldn't help but lower his voice.
Mu Jinghua didn't say anything, but seemed to have heard Xu Shu's voice. He struggled slightly, and his hot forehead touched Xu Shu's shoulder.
Xu Shu's heart sank, and he hurriedly took out the antipyretic medicine from his ring and fed it to Mu Jinghua.
Mu Jinghua was very resistant and refused to even drink a sip of water.
Xu Shu had never encountered such a situation before, and his mind went blank. Then he came to his senses and thought of an outrageous but seemingly effective method.
Xu Shu's lips pressed against hers.
……
Mu Jinghua was awakened by the heat. When he opened his eyes, the bonfire that Xu Shu had originally built had gone out, and the cave was pitch black.
But Mu Jinghua was not afraid. He could feel the warmth and steady breathing beside him. It was Xu Shu.
He should be curled up in Xu Shu's arms.
Xu Shu's body is always warm.
Even when it was very cold in winter, Xu Shu was always warm.
It was because of this discovery that Mu Jinghua became more and more attached to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu seemed to know that Mu Jinghua stuck to him for this reason, but Xu Shu didn't mind. In fact, every winter, he would be kind enough to warm Mu Jinghua's feet with his hands.
Although Xu Shu's hands were beautiful, like tender green bamboo joints, they were very big.
The touching of his feet by the not-so-rough hands always made him feel itchy.
Now he also felt itchy, but it was an itch in his heart.
But what he felt more was heat, because the temperature did not seem to come only from Xu Shu. He could feel something soft and very thick on and under his body.
Mu Jinghua guessed that this was another thing that Xu Shu had taken from the sky, so he didn't try to open it himself.
He pushed Xu Shu's chest.
Xu Shu quickly opened his eyes and then felt hot.
But sleeping bags are rarely thin. After all, no one would sleep outdoors in the hot summer.
Originally, Xu Shu wanted to set up a tent, but apparently the antipyretic medicine given to Mu Jinghua had a very strong sleeping effect, and Xu Shu began to doze off after a while.
He couldn't bear to leave the little hibiscus lying on the ground, so he chose the simplest method.
Unzip the sleeping bag and the two of them sleep in together.
It's just really hot.
Fortunately, his physique is different from that of ordinary people. The wound on his back has probably scabbed over, so there is no need to worry about it festering due to the heat.
Xu Shu got out of the sleeping bag neatly, and carried out Mu Jinghua, who didn't know how he got out. He carefully tested the temperature of his forehead before he breathed a sigh of relief: "You had a fever just now, and you suddenly fainted. I was scared to death."
Mu Jinghua nodded. He was actually still somewhat conscious. Without Xu Shu even telling him, he knew that Xu Shu used a very... difficult to describe method to feed him the medicine.
Kissing was a common thing for him.
At least I won't blush from kissing.
But Mu Jinghua still found it a little hard to accept kissing him in order to feed him medicine.
It was so sweet when the tips of our tongues touched each other, but the root of our tongues felt bitter and sour unconsciously.
Because Xu Shu seemed to be worried that he would not swallow it, he kept stirring his tongue.
Mu Jinghua's speech was a little lisp now: "Xu Shu, I'm fine."
Xu Shu nodded, then asked him if he was hungry and if his wound hurt.
After confirming that there was no problem, he got up and went to set up the tent.
Mu Jinghua watched him busying around. Those were rare things he had never seen before. He didn't even know where to start asking, so he could only watch.
However, Xu Shu seemed to find the sound of running water too boring, so he took the initiative to talk: "Why are you in the mountains with Xiao Ran and the others?"
Mu Jinghua’s body stiffened.
Forgot this happened.
In fact, Mu Jinghua already knew that even if he revealed his entire self to Xu Shu, Xu Shu would definitely accept him.
This is not because he firmly believes that Xu Shu cannot live without him, but because he finds that Xu Shu is actually such a person.
Even though he seems very talkative and even kind-hearted on the surface, Xu Shu is actually a very cold person. He doesn't care about useless people at all.
So Mu Jinghua has been working hard to become a useful person.
He studied medicine, cultivated medicinal herbs, managed the Muyi Building, raised snakes in the back mountain, and so on ... all in order to make himself a useful person.
However, Xu Shu's requirements for him did not seem to be this. After all, at the beginning, he was not only useless, but could even be said to be a burden.
But Xu Shu never meant to abandon him.
At that time, Mu Jinghua did not understand Xu Shu at all. Later, he understood Xu Shu's pursuit of usefulness, or "profit", and he understood Xu Shu even less.
He once shared his troubles with Qiao Wan, and Qiao Wan’s comfort was “because you are that special one.”
Mu Jinghua's first reaction after hearing this was disbelief, but this did not stop him from being happy.
Xu Shu is also his, a special existence.
Putting him aside, Qin Lianxi is just a useless person, the kind of useless person whose life or death Xu Shu doesn't care about.
But Mu Jinghua still didn't want to tell Xu Shu what he had done.
If Qiao Wan were to comment, it would obviously be just one sentence: the burden is too heavy.
Yes, in front of Xu Shu, Mu Jinghua has always been used to acting weak and acting like a spoiled child, and it has even become a burden.
And he doesn't want to get rid of this burden.
