The wooden barrel was filled with hot water and blended to a moderate temperature. As the water vapor rose, mist swirled. A mirror was placed in front of the wooden barrel, reflecting two blurry shadows.
Li Mu stretched out his hand to wipe the mirror, pointed at the wheat-colored man in the mirror, and said to Bai Qiaoqiao behind him: "Madam, what do you think? Can you see clearly?"
Bai Qiaoqiao sighed helplessly, this childish husband is really a headache.
"Husband, if Qiaoqiao wants to look at you, just look at you directly. Why do you have to look in the mirror?"
"Can't you praise me?" Li Mu retreated into the water, turned around and hugged Bai Qiaoqiao, groping her body. Bai Qiaoqiao blushed at his teasing, glanced at him, and held him down.
hand.
"Husband, be more honest."
Li Mu turned a deaf ear and chuckled: "Madam, you seem to be getting older."
"What?" Bai Qiaoqiao looked down at Li Mu's gaze, yelped, and said angrily: "Husband, you are teasing me again."
"Is it really that I'm old? Where did I lie?" Li Mu held up Bai Qiaoqiao's pretty face, kissed her gently, hugged her tightly and said, "Madam, I really can't live without you in this life."
It is the greatest blessing for me, Li Mu."
"What's wrong? Are you saying these things all of a sudden?"
"It's okay, I just want you to know." Li Mu smiled and changed the subject. He suddenly remembered what Sun Simiao said about his incompatibility, wiped his face with water, and asked: "Madam, do you think I have done anything recently?
Become more handsome?"
"Handsome?" Bai Qiaoqiao looked puzzled, and Li Mu explained: "Have you become more handsome?"
"Hmm"
Bai Qiaoqiao glanced at Li Mu, misunderstood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Husband, do you want to compete with Xiao Jiu? Then husband, you should give up, you will never be more handsome than Xiao Jiu. If Xiao Jiu is a woman,
She must be a great beauty who will captivate the whole country."
"Who can compare with him?" Li Mu said in annoyance. Suddenly he felt something was wrong. He glared at Bai Qiaoqiao and said, "Madam, as a husband, I am going to punish you. You actually think Xiaojiu is more handsome than me. Do you think that as a husband, I am in your way?"
In my heart, isn’t he the most handsome man in the world? Doesn’t this sentence of “Looking Better than Pan An” refer to me?”
"Yeah!" Bai Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously, not even holding back, and laughed out loud.
"snort!"
Li Mu was unhappy and crawled out of the barrel. He didn't like bathing, so he came out earlier than Bai Qiaoqiao every time. Bai Qiaoqiao ignored him and kept making soap on her own.
Li Mu walked around the screen to find a dry cloth to wipe himself with. He suddenly heard footsteps outside and hesitated for a moment. It was already that time and the gate was about to be closed. Li Chongyi and Dugujiu were not summoned and would not come later.
Xiaozhu and the others also started fetching water to wash up and get ready to rest. As for Li Zhien, at this time, he would go to the front yard to keep accounts, the daily expenses of the house, etc., which would take at least half an hour. The point is, Li Zhien
Li Mu often hears the sound of footsteps, and he has become extremely familiar with them. This footsteps is definitely not it.
assassin?
Li Mu was startled, and quickly grabbed a dry cloth and wrapped it around his lower body. He looked around and saw no one who could take advantage of him. In desperation, he had no choice but to grab a low stool and squat in the shadow behind the door.
He had never thought about escaping. His wife was still bathing inside. Where could he escape? Not to mention his wife's safety, even if this assassin took a look at him, Li Mu's petty chauvinist character would explode on the spot!
Fortunately, there was only one person listening to the footsteps.
Li Mu secretly felt cruel in his heart. Even if you are a strong martial artist, I have also gained strength through blacksmithing. If you are caught by surprise, you may not be able to defeat anyone!
Risk your life!
The footsteps got closer and closer, and with a creak, the door was pushed open.
"skillful……"
"There is an assassin!!" Li Mu shouted at the top of his lungs, hoping that Li Chongyi and others in the front yard could hear him. At the same time, he picked up a low stool and smashed it.
Just when Li Mu was swinging the low stool and was about to hit the black-suited assassin who entered the door, between the lightning and flint, a long and well-proportioned leg full of explosive power was seen raised at an incredible angle, and then
Chopping it down hard.
"Crack!"
The low stool shattered.
"Click!"
The leg hit Li Mu's left shoulder, and his left arm instantly drooped.
"ah!"
Li Mu screamed.
He retracted his legs and kicked them out again, drawing a phantom in the air.
Li Mu was hit in the abdomen and flew backwards.
The screen was broken! Li Mu grabbed the broken pieces of the screen and knocked them against the vat, his eyes fainted.
"Husband!" Bai Qiaoqiao exclaimed.
"Qiaoqiao?" Zhang Tianai saw Bai Qiaoqiao sitting in the bathtub and said angrily: "This little thief dares to peek, see if I don't do it." Zhang Tianai pulled out his sword and was about to chop up the little thief when he saw his face clearly
After that, I was dumbfounded.
"Sister Tianai! You, why do you want to beat my husband?"
"Where is the assassin! Boss, I'm coming!!"
Li Chongyi's roar came from outside the door. Zhang Tianai was so anxious that he stamped his feet and said, "I didn't know... Oh, please shout first and don't let them in. You haven't put on your clothes yet!"
Bai Qiaoqiao suddenly realized, and shouted quickly, blocking Li Chongyi and others from the door. Zhang Tianai threw Bai Qiaoqiao's clothes to her, Bai Qiaoqiao hurriedly put them on, Zhang Tianai had already pressed Li Mu's clothes
, and revived him.
"Madam, run quickly!!"
After Li Mu regained consciousness, he shouted loudly, raised his fist and started to hit. Zhang Tianai raised his leg and almost hit Li Mu in the face again, but because Bai Qiaoqiao was nearby, he only stepped on Li Mu's shoulder.
"It's me!"
"No one can help me?" Li Mu heard the voice sound familiar. He looked up and saw that it was Zhang Tianai, and said blankly: "Why is it you?"
"I just arrived. I heard from Zhien that sister Qiaoqiao was taking a bath and came over to find her. Who knew you were there too?" Zhang Tianai's face suddenly turned red, and he turned his head to the side and said, "You, you put on your clothes first and talk."
.”
Li Mu looked down and saw that when he was kicked, the cloth around his waist had disappeared. He was now naked and clean.
Damn it, this female tyrannosaurus has seen it all!
Li Mu quickly covered his chest, and suddenly realized something was wrong. He moved his hands down and covered his brother.
"Wife" Li Mu is about to cry!
Bai Qiaoqiao brought his clothes and helped him put them on. She told him that Li Chongyi and others were outside. Li Mu quickly shouted and dismissed Li Chongyi and others. If the younger brothers saw this, he would have the shame to do it in the future.
My eldest brother?
"My shoulder is dislocated!"
"My belly! If you kick my belly, if you go down a little bit, I will"
"You woman, you are so cruel!!"
"I didn't mean it!"
"Qiaoqiao, break up with her, she will murder your husband-in-law!!"
…
After struggling for about a stick of incense, Li Mu's dislocated shoulder was 'broken' back by Bai Qiaoqiao. At this moment, he was resting on Bai Qiaoqiao's legs, with his belly exposed, and Li Zhien was kneeling next to him to rub his bruises.
liquor.
Zhang Tianai stood by the bed and looked at him with her sword in her arms, her face full of apologies. She knew how much force she had used. If Li Mu hadn't been strong enough to strike iron and had a few abdominal muscles, this kick would have been enough.
, if you don’t kick him, it would be considered a minor offense if his internal organs are displaced.
Li Mu groaned and glanced sideways at Zhang Tianai, thinking to himself, this woman must be a monster. That kick just now didn't look like it was kicked by a woman. Li Chongyi wouldn't say it, Dugu Jiu's strength was just that.
How did you practice! Damn it, if anyone marries her, will they still be able to live a good life? You can kick half a tube of blood away after just a little quarrel. What a joke!
"I'm sorry!"
"Huh!" Li Mu buried his head in Bai Qiaoqiao's arms and ignored her.
Li Zhien held Li Mu's hand distressedly. Li Mu closed his eyes and gently rubbed Li Zhien's little hand, feeling a little comfort.
Bai Qiaoqiao looked at Zhang Tianai, gently pushed Li Mu's shoulder, and said: "Husband, sister Tianai really didn't do it on purpose. Haven't I already explained everything? You called out an assassin and hit her with a low stool.
She thought I was the only one taking a bath in it, so she thought you were an assassin, so "
"You're still talking to her?" Li Mu raised his head, looked at Bai Qiaoqiao with tears in his eyes, and said, "Your husband, why should I hide behind the door with a low stool? Didn't I regard her as an assassin? I was
You are naked, and there is no one who can take advantage of you. What can you do without a low stool? I am not here to protect you. Madam, it really hurts my heart when you talk like this, ugh..."
"Hey, husband, please don't cry..." Li Mu's crying made Bai Qiaoqiao's heart turbulent. She glanced at Zhang Tianai apologetically, held Li Mu in her arms and coaxed her, and said: "Okay
La, husband, don’t cry, Qiaoqiao knows how good your husband is, husband.”
"Qiaoqiao, don't coax her!" Zhang Tianai felt uncomfortable when he saw Li Mu's chirping look, and suddenly pulled out his sword. Li Mu was startled, and quickly crawled behind Bai Qiaoqiao and said angrily: "
What do you want to do, bully the weak? Kill people and silence them? What a vicious woman."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Tianai threw the sword on the bed and stretched out his arm.
"No matter what, it was me who hurt you. One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. I don't need sister Qiaoqiao to apologize for me. I gave you the sword. If you chop me a few times, we will be even."
Qiaoqiao hurriedly said: "Husband, no!"
"Why not, my beating will be in vain?" Li Mu took the sword in his hand and said viciously: "Zhang Tianai! When you left last time, you showed your face inexplicably. This time when you came back, you beat me without any explanation.
I have reason to suspect that you did it on purpose. In that case, don’t blame me for being unkind. You asked me to chop you, right? I’ll chop you off!"
"Hmph!" Zhang Tianai snorted coldly and said: "There is a reason why I give you a look. I think you can't help my little sister Qiaoqiao, so why do you give me a look? As for just now, I have already explained it before. It was an accidental injury.
It's just an accidental injury. Believe it or not, just cut it if you want, it's my mother-in-law's fault!"
"You think I don't dare to cut?"
"Hurry up! Cut it down and level it!"
Li Mu glared at him fiercely, but Zhang Tianai just stretched out his arms, seemingly not paying attention at all.
"!" Li Mu dropped the sword on the ground and pointed: "Go away, I don't want to see you!"
Zhang Tianai picked up the sword, still in its scabbard, and said, "You didn't cut it, but you can't blame me. We are settled."
"Who wants to make things clear to you? If I don't cut it now, why not do it again later? Go away! I won't let you stay in my house!"
Bai Qiaoqiao begged: "Husband, the gates are closed."
"What's wrong with being locked up? You can go wherever you want!" Li Mu said angrily: "Qiaoqiao, my husband has been beaten, don't you feel sorry for him at all?"
"I feel sorry for you husband, but I love my sister..." Bai Qiaoqiao looked at Li Mu longingly, and whispered: "Why don't you stay one night first? I beg you, good husband."
"No need to ask him." Zhang Tianai glanced at Li Mu and said, "I can find the room I stayed in last time. The people I brought here can just let them stay in the guest room. It's getting late, I'll go to bed first.
.”
"?" Li Mu was shocked. What is the situation? This is his own home?
"Stop!" Li Mu climbed to the bedside and shouted to Zhang Tianai: "Why are you so shameless? This is my home, hello! This is Zhuluhou Mansion, I am Zhuluhou, what do you do?
You... Hey! Zhang Tianai, I’m calling you!”
"I don't have time to coax you to play!"
Zhang Tianai's voice came in from outside, and Li Mu choked to death.
Li Mu threw herself into Bai Qiaoqiao's arms and cried: "Madam, have you seen it? This is your sister. She still sees me as your husband! She is treating me as her grandson in the Luhou Mansion."
It’s my own home, it’s too casual, it’s too presumptuous!”
Bai Qiaoqiao was also angry and said: "I didn't expect Sister Tianai to be such a person! I really misjudged her. Husband, just wait, I will go find her to argue!"
"Yes!" Li Mu said bitterly: "You scolded her, made her feel ashamed, and asked her to come over and apologize to me! Apologize!"
"Okay!" Bai Qiaoqiao handed Li Mu into Li Zhien's arms and got out of bed. After putting on her shoes, she turned back to look at Li Mu and said, "Don't worry, husband, I'll scold her right away!"
"Be careful! If you can't scold her, just shout and I'll ask Zhien to help. If she wants to fight, don't be polite to her. Let the big guy take care of her. Even if she has some strength, she will definitely not be able to beat the big guy!"
"knew!"
Bai Qiaoqiao responded and went out aggressively.
Li Mu arched into Li Zhien's arms and started to moan again. Li Zhien looked at the footprints on Li Mu's stomach and felt heartbroken. He poured the wine into his hand and smeared it on him bit by bit.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Mu almost fell asleep in a daze. He glanced at the half-burned candle and murmured: "Zhien, Madam is not coming back, is she?"
"Well, maybe, I don't know."
"Ugh..." Li Mubei came out, hugged Li Zhien tightly, and said, "Zhien, your master... I am no match for a woman in Madam's heart, and Madam actually lied to me!"
Li Zhien stood up and blew out the candles, shrank into Li Mu's arms, and nuzzled his ear: "Since the master is so sad, why don't you let me replace the madam and serve the master well all night?"
"no."
"Um?"
"Her kick may have been damaged by me, so it won't work anymore."
"Is it so serious?" Li Zhien rolled his eyes and got into bed: "Let me take a look?"
"Hey? Don't touch it, hey, hey, hey! It hurts! My lower abdomen hurts, oops!!"
