Miss Mu and the Canary

Finally remembering that Mu Xing needed more rest, Mrs. Mu was about to come out, but when she turned her head and saw Bai Yan standing at the door, she hurriedly invited her in again, and said, "Miss Bai, I was in a hurry yesterday, so I didn't have time to thank you. I'm so sorry..."

Looking at Mu Xing, Bai Yan hurriedly said that you don't have to be polite, it's what she should do.

Before he finished speaking, Mu Xing laughed softly and said, "Yes, there is no one else to take care of me except you."

"What are you talking about, kid." Mrs. Mu glared at Mu Xing, "Why should a good girl take care of you? Why don't you thank her and talk nonsense."

Mu Xing snickered to himself and only looked at Bai Yan.

Just now, Bai Yan secretly looked at each other outside the door, but Bai Yan felt that she couldn't see enough. Now in front of her elders, she felt guilty again, thinking that she didn't come to see Mu Xing, and only cared about talking to Mrs. Mu and Dr. Look at Mu Xing, but he doesn't answer.

After some polite refusals, Mrs. Mu realized that the ward was really not a place to talk. Seeing that Bai Yan came to visit Mu Xing, she asked her to go to the living room to talk about it later.

Bai Yan naturally agreed.

After Mrs. Mu and others left the ward, Bai Yan followed and quietly closed the door, turned her head and leaned against the door, looked at Mu Xing and said, "Oh, I should serve the eldest lady, right?"

Mu Xing leaned halfway on the bed and said with a smile: "Ordinary couples and lovers have a little headache, but the other half takes care of them so carefully. You were so careful with me last night. Tell me, what is your relationship with me?"

Unexpectedly, she would say this suddenly, Bai Yan was taken aback.

Mu Xing looked at Bai Yan, his teasing look suddenly softened.

She said softly: "Shu Wan, do you know what I was thinking when you sent me back last night?"

With a tremor in her heart for no reason, Bai Yan walked over slowly.

"At that time, we seemed to be in the car. I held my wound and looked at the reflection outside the car window. It felt like I was looking back at half my life. Those beautiful and prosperous, fresh clothes and angry horses were really like a bubble. Left behind. I tried to reach out and find I couldn't leave anything behind."

"except you."

"When everything left me without looking back, I realized that the only thing I could have was someone who loved me."

Reaching out to hold Bai Yan's hand, Mu Xing looked at her and said word by word: "Life is so short and uncertain, those illusory pride, fear, panic... are they really more important than what we desire?"

"Before, I just wanted to grow stronger quickly, to let you see our future, to make you feel at ease, and I hope you can wait. But now I finally know that you can't wait, and I can't wait, life is more experienced I am sorry for such a hopeless and long wait. If I were to die tomorrow, how I wish I was with you today instead of still waiting..."

"Don't say it anymore, don't say such things..." With her heart beating like a drum, Bai Yan suddenly covered Mu Xing's mouth.

In any case, she hated to hear such a supposition from her mouth.

The hand on the face was delicate and cold, Mu Xing stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Bai Yan's palm.She moved slightly and dropped a kiss on Bai Yan's palm.

This kiss was so small, but it was as hot as a fire, and it rushed to all limbs and bones with the force of a prairie fire, burning Bai Yan's heart, forcing her to almost shed tears.

Feeling the pulse transmitted by the overlapping palms, Mu Xing looked up at Bai Yan, and said softly: "Shu Wan, we..."

Before she finished speaking, Bai Yan said: "Okay."

Mu Xing was startled.

What is she trying to say?What is she responding to?

Bai Yan looked down at Mu Xing, then sat on the edge of the bed, and they looked at each other equally.

"it is good."

Needless to say.

After talking for a while, seeing Mu Xing's tired face, Bai Yan urged her to lie down and rest.

Just after communicating with each other, Mu Xing was not willing to sleep, he acted like a rascal like a child: "I don't sleep, didn't I just say that, life is too short, I need to see you for a while."

Bai Yan was amused in her heart, but her eyes widened: "If you don't take a good rest, you don't have to look at me in the future, just look at the ceiling of the hospital every day."

Mu Xing curled his lips and lay down muttering.Fearing that she would hurt her wound, Bai Yan hurriedly pulled the pillow and covered her with the quilt, and seeing her muttering, she asked, "What are you talking about?"

Mu Xing buried the lower half of his face under the quilt, only showing his eyes to look at Bai Yan, and said something in a low voice.

Bai Yan couldn't hear clearly, and she was afraid that she was thirsty or hungry, so she had to bend down in front of her, pull down the quilt a little, and asked again: "You just said..."

Before he finished speaking, Mu Xing, who was lying down, suddenly stretched his neck and pecked her on the mouth.

Very loud.

Caught off guard by a kiss, Bai Yan was stunned for a moment, and before she had time to react, she saw Mu Xing slumped back and cried out, "Hey! It hurts, my waist hurts..."

Hearing this, Bai Yan didn't care about swearing, she hurriedly straightened Mu Xing up: "Did it hurt the wound?" She pulled off the clothes to confirm that the wound did not ooze blood, she helped Mu Xing put on the clothes again, and covered the quilt.

Looking at Mu Xing who was lying on the bed humming, Bai Yan folded her arms and said angrily, "Are you feeling comfortable now?"

Mu Xing groaned under the quilt.

Seeing her like this, Bai Yan is really angry, but not smiling.Looking at the clock in the room, she said: "Go to sleep, I have to go back to the hall first."

Hearing this, Mu Xing immediately stopped humming: "Are you leaving?"

Of course Bai Yan didn't want to leave, but she had to obey the rules in the hall.

Knowing what she was worried about, Mu Xing frowned, and finally asked what he had planned a long time ago: "Shu Wan, how much do you need to redeem your body?"

The charming and lingering gradually dissipated, and finally had to face the most realistic problem.

As for that number, Bai Yan chewed it in her heart almost every day, and at this moment she could say it without any further calculations: "It will cost [-] yuan to say the least. .”

As expected by Bai Yan, this number made Mu Xing silent for a while.

This is normal.she thinks.

The former Cui Yuanbai had a longer silence when he heard this number.

What is the concept of 2 yuan?

For a family of three, the annual living expenses are at most two to three hundred yuan. For ordinary people, they may not be able to save 2 yuan in savings in their entire life.

And this 2 yuan can buy out her life.

"There are some difficulties." After pondering for a while, Mu Xing said.

Bai Yan nodded silently.

In fact, even if Mu Xing was willing to redeem her, she didn't intend to let Mu Xing fully bear the huge sum of money.For so many years, although the mother has been deducting and squeezing, she still has a savings of more than 1000 yuan. Although it is not a drop in the bucket, at least it is her determination.

Just as Bai Yan was thinking, Mu Xing said again: "Shu Wan, you may have to be wronged for two months."

Bai Yan was about to nod, but was stunned again.

"Two...months?" She hesitated.

She thought it would take at least a few months or even a year?At the beginning, Cui Yuanbai asked her to wait for a few more months. She didn't wait at the beginning, but if it was Mu Xing, she would be willing to wait as long as possible.

Just... two months?

This time period was so short that she couldn't believe it.

Mu Xing stretched out one hand and counted: "My pharmacy, because it's the off-season recently, has a monthly profit of less than [-] yuan. After deducting various expenses and filial piety to parents, there are only about [-] yuan left. ..."*

Bai Yan listened to her counting items one by one. In the past two months, she had to save 2 yuan, which was to completely cancel all of Mu Xing's own expenses, and he had to work hard at the pharmacy and the medical center to make up the money.

"Well... so as long as I spend less in these two months, I can make up enough soon." After all, Mu Xing said guiltily: "It's just that I have to let you stay in that hall for two more months. It's guilt..."

Biting her lip, Bai Yan said in a low voice: "Compared to you, I can do so little, but what's the point of waiting in the hall for another two months?"

She even felt ashamed.

Mu Xing reached out to hold her hand in a timely manner, and said, "There's no need to say that."

...

After talking, Mu Xing was really tired, Bai Yan waited for her to sleep, and then went back to the main house.

She originally planned to leave first and go back to the library to deal with some matters, but unexpectedly Madam Mu and others were not in the living room, only the old lady was sitting in the living room, seeing that she wanted to leave, the old lady was very reluctant.

"Miss Bai, is it because we didn't entertain well, or why did we have to leave after coming here for a long time?" Grandma said, "It's all because of this child, A Xuan, who ran out on his own when there were guests, and waited for her to come back. Grandma must give her a lesson..."

Bai Yan hurriedly said: "Of course not, it's just that I want to go home and deal with some things..."

"Then why are you in a hurry to leave? Stay for a few more days, and the house will be lively..." Before she could finish speaking, the old lady paused, suddenly showing a bit of depression.

She slowly said: "That's right, I was confused, other children have serious things to do... Yiqian is busy, Fuqian is also busy, what kind of test is Yun'er going to take, and Ah Xuan is often not at home now... busy, It's a good thing you're all busy..."

Sighing, grandma waved her hand and said, "You go back. Jingye, you take Miss Bai out and ask the driver to take her off, but she must be delivered safely to someone else's home."

Hearing this, the servant girl came to lead the way.Bai Yanben stood up, looked at the old lady, and suddenly sat back down.

She smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing urgent. It's just that it's not good to bother grandma about your rest. If you don't dislike me for being clumsy and noisy, I'd like to stay for a few more days."

Hearing this, the old lady became happy again for a while and said hello several times.

Bai Yan also said that she needed to go home and explain to her family, so the old lady asked the maid to arrange a car, saying that she must bring Bai Yan back safely, and urged her to pack another room for Bai Yan.

After saying a few more words, Bai Yan followed the servant girl out for a ride.

The girl named Jing Ye who led the way seemed to be serving the old lady personally.After thinking about it, Bai Yan said carefully: "It seems that the old lady likes to be lively."

Earlier, Fu Guang said that Miss Bai had a good relationship with Mu Xing, and Jing Ye didn't hide it, and said, "Yes, since my aunt passed away, the old lady likes the house to be more lively. It's just that the gentlemen and young masters are busy with their careers. , Miss Xuan also has her own affairs, and the old lady is not very comfortable because there are few people in the family. Miss, you can talk to the old lady today, and the old lady is very happy."

Nodding her head, Bai Yan said again: "Speaking of which, I also heard that Axuan said something about being in charge of Mrs. Xue. It's really a pity."

She just said it casually, but Jingye's expression changed, and she suddenly became a little uneasy.She forced a smile: "So that's the case, it's just... I don't know what Miss Xuan and Miss you said, how could you say something like 'regret'?"

She asked this question strangely, Bai Yan couldn't help but glance at her, and said slowly: "It's nothing, it's just some of Axuan's own childhood memories. A kind of art, and can sing..."

When it came to singing, Bai Yan obviously felt that Jing Ye's face froze.

what happened?Regarding Mrs. Neg Xue's singing, there is nothing worth concealing from Ah Xuan's words?

After thinking about it quickly, Bai Yan said: "By the way, Ah Xuan also mentioned a famous actress, as if it was called..." She was momentarily stuck.

She really didn't know much about opera, so she didn't think of the famous artist Mu Xing mentioned for a while.Seeing that she didn't seem to remember, Jing Ye immediately said, "Famous actress? Mrs. Negxue seems to know a famous actress, but the relationship is ordinary, and she is not that familiar. I didn't expect Miss Xuan to remember this."

Regarding that famous actress, Bai Yan couldn't think of any specific things at the moment, but it was a little strange to hear Jing Ye's tone.

Before they had time to ask a few more questions, they had already reached the parking lot, so Bai Yan had no choice but to calm down, got into the car, and went outside Mu Garden.

Today's driver was not Uncle Song, so Bai Yan sent the driver to Huai'an Road, and then took a rickshaw back to Yuhua Shuyu.

As soon as he entered the door, the bustard rushed up, pulled Bai Yan to the backyard with a mysterious expression, and hurriedly asked: "What is the identity of that Mr. Mu? I didn't pay attention last night. Did the police come to arrest him? Even the notice has been posted! What the hell did you do last night? If there is something wrong with that surnamed Mu, we must be implicated as well!"

Hearing this, Bai Yan couldn't help but her heart sank, she forced herself to calm down and said, "What notice are you talking about?"

The bustard put her hips on her hips and said: "It was posted under the city wall, saying that the surnamed Mu is a 'communist bandit'! Did you see it when you came back? Let me ask you, is this true? If it is It’s really not a small crime, let me tell you, you are not allowed to see him again, God knows when he will be dragged away by the iron shoes and shot, don’t drag me down!”

Hearing this, Bai Yan's head immediately exploded.

Total. Bandits!

This must have been caused by the woman I saved that day!

She has read the newspapers a lot, so she naturally knows what a "communist bandit" is, and even more so, how serious the crime of colluding with a "communist bandit" is!

If, if...

Feeling flustered, Bai Yan turned around and was about to go out, but the bustard grabbed her and said, "Where are you going? Are you still looking for the demolition of the White Party? My old lady told you that the iron shoes who came to ask questions just now are gone." , They have already gone to the British Concession for questioning, and they want to arrest you! You still dare to go out and wander around, and when something happens, don’t drag me down by being a monster!"

How can Bai Yan listen to so many words? She broke the bustard mother's hand, pretended to be calm and said: "Mum, you are so confused, what are you talking about? What is Mr. Mu's identity, and what does he have to do with us?" Related? For these few months, he hasn't owed any bills, and he has paid a lot of money for drinking. We are in business, and this is enough, you don't care what errands he does outside the hall. "

"They want to catch him now, can we still pick him up? Anyway, we didn't do anything, so we are afraid that he won't be caught? If we are evasive, then we have a ghost in our hearts! You let me out now, I Go back to Muyuan to check the situation, if something is wrong, I can come back and talk to you, right?"

Although she talked nonsense during the call, she pretended to be like this on the surface. After hearing this, the bustard mother let go of her instead: "Okay, then you go, if something is wrong, come back quickly, and then discuss how to separate the relationship. .”

Before she finished speaking, Bai Yan had already run out.

In Mu Yuan, Uncle Mu and the others had already received the news, and they avoided the old lady just now to discuss this matter.

After collecting the news all morning, Uncle Mu has almost a clear understanding of what happened.He briefly explained to Mrs. Mu and the others what Mu Xing had been doing outside as "Mr. Mu".

"Generally speaking, Axuan and the group of the second young master of the Tang family are all in contact with men. As for other things..." Uncle Mu's face changed for some reason, and he continued: "Other things It's nothing, as for the incident this time, the Public Security Bureau also recognizes the identity of 'Mu San Shao'."

Regarding the incident caused by her daughter, Mrs. Mu had no energy left to get angry anymore, she calmly said, "Brother, what do you mean..."

Uncle Mu said: "Yes, as long as you deny the identity of 'Mu San Shao', you can get Ah Xuan and the Mu family out."

——Even if you can't pick it up, you must find a way to pick it up.Even the Mu family can never bear the crime of "communist bandit".

"Is it possible? What if they don't recognize it?" Aunt Mu worried: "Just now you said that Ah Xuan has a good relationship with that young master of the Tang family. If you said that young master Tang didn't know about the search last night, would you believe it?"

The implication is that this matter was deliberately aimed at the Mu family.

After a moment of silence, Uncle Mu suddenly said: "Mayor Tang told me about funding the construction of the two railways outside Tianmen before, but I did not agree."

Aunt Mu was startled: "Is he trying to covet that defense appropriation?"

Uncle Mu said in a deep voice: "It can only be said that the matter of Axuan saving someone just gave him an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to explode."

"Not enough greed! This is clearly trying to force the Mu family to stand in line!" Mrs. Mu cursed, then turned her head and saw that her husband had been silent, and said angrily, "Why are you not in a hurry?"

Dr. Mu took a sip of tea calmly, and said rationally, "I don't think you need to worry about this matter."

"The Mu family didn't have the 'Third Young Master Mu' on the arrest warrant. If they want to investigate, just come."

When Bai Yan rushed back to Mu Yuan, she happened to witness the situation where the Public Security Bureau returned from the Mu family.

The deputy director who led the team repeatedly apologized to Uncle Mu, acting as if he was completely forced by his superiors to search, and wished he could prove himself.

However, Uncle Mu didn't want to eat it, so he dismissed the people from the Public Security Bureau in a few words, and was busy appeasing the frightened old lady.

The old lady was crying in the living room: "My poor Axuan... You still have to hide such a big thing from me. I don't care about my body, it's better to go with my Xue Xue..."

Now it's time for Uncle Mu to testify against himself.

After finally taking care of the old lady and sending her back to the room, Uncle Mu turned his head and saw Bai Yan who was waiting by the side, his eyes sank.

Bai Yan felt terrified of being stared at by him, and suddenly felt uneasy.However, before she could make a guess, Uncle Mu had already changed his amiable expression and said to her: "Miss Bai, I have something to tell you and Ah Xuan, please go to Ah Xuan's ward and wait."
