Chapter 301

After another meal, Shanwai Muya was finally free. He moved a stool to sit by the bed and told Guoguo, “We can have a good talk now, but you have to tell me your name before this.”

“Xu Mu,” Guoguo said.

He had been called a nickname from an early age, and only used his first name on rare occasions. Guoguo was still a little unused to it.

Shanwai Muya didn’t dwell on his name. He continued, “There is a very special rule our Shanwai clan. That is, no matter if you are a member of the clan or an outsider, you must leave a child for Shanwai clan before leaving this place.”

“Just like me, if I want to leave the Shanwai clan, I have to give birth to a child before I can leave. Moreover, I can’t come back after I leave. No one will care whether I die outside or not.”

After Shanwai Muya finished speaking, he looked at Guoguo, waiting for his reaction.

Guoguo, though somewhat surprised, did not react much. Xu Ran had told them before that every place had its local regulations and they must learn to do as the Romans do.

However, the only thing that made him unhappy was that he had to find a childe to have a baby here. He was worried that he wouldn’t find the person he liked. Xu Ran also said that he would have a lover in his lifetime, so he could only have one future husband.

Guoguo asked Shanwai Muya, “If I have a child, can I take my husband with me when I leave this place?”

Shanwai Muya nodded. “Yes, but you have to have two children. If you only have one, you can only leave alone.”

Guoguo frowned. Two children! How long would it take to leave this place?

“Can I send a message to the outside in this place? My family will be worried. I want to write a letter to them and tell them that I am still alive.”

Shanwai Muya shook his head and looked a little sorry. “No, You can’t, because no one has left here, and there is no way to send the letter out. And outsiders will not come here casually.”

His frowning got more obvious, and with his pale face, he looked particularly pitiful. Shanwai Muya couldn’t help but reached out to touch his face.

However, Guoguo did not see his intention and was just thinking about how to go home as soon as possible.

Shanwai Muya said, “You want to go home as soon as possible, so you have to get better as soon as possible, and then have a baby with me. Then you can go back.”

After Guoguo heard his words, he looked at him in surprise, “Have a child with you?”

Shanwai Muya looked matter-of-fact, “Yeah! Who else could it be but me? You’ve already lived in my house. Do you still want to find another childe?”

“I… No,” Guoguo was a little anxious. “I have to have a child with you if I live in your house. Is this the rule here?”

Shanwai Muya shook his head and said. “No, it’s just that I’m old. The Patriarch asked me to marry a member of my clan, but they’re too ugly. I don’t want to marry them, so I’ve been putting it off. This year is my deadline from the patriarch. I have to get married this year. Take it as a reward for saving your life.”

Shanwai Muya was a straightforward person, so he explained it directly.

Guoguo thought about it carefully. He did not lose out. Shanwai Muya was really good-looking, much better than the best childe he had ever seen, and he looked very capable. Dad would definitely be satisfied. The only bad thing right now was that he had not fallen for him yet. If he liked him, everybody would be happy.

Since he had saved his life, he naturally had to help him. Besides, he was not only helping him, he was also helping himself. He must abide by the rules since he was here.

Guoguo nodded and agreed, “Alright then! Is there any ceremony for getting married here? I definitely can’t do this now. Will the Patriarch say anything?”

Shanwai Muya said, “The ceremony is definitely necessary. You won’t be able to do this now, but I can explain to the Patriarch that the ceremony will be postponed first. You’re living in my house anyway.”

“Then, I will recover as soon as possible. As soon as I can get up and walk around, we can start the ceremony.”

Shanwai Muya didn’t reply. He knew that Guoguo’s eagerness had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to go home.

Although they had been together for three days, today was the first time they met. He couldn’t have gotten attached to him so quickly. Even he made this request because Guoguo was good-looking.

The rules of the Shanwai clan was quite normal except that one. In addition, Shanwai Muya also told him a lot on the way back, so he didn’t mention it much.

After he finished speaking, Shanwai Muya went to grab two bottles and said to Guoguo, “These are the special ointment of our caln. It can heal wounds very quickly and it won’t cause any pain. I applied the medicine on your body three days ago. It’s time to change it today.”

Guoguo lay down and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”

Shanwai Muya carefully removed the cloth on Guoguo’s body. Guoguo saw the dark layer on his hand, just like ink, but it didn’t smell bad. There was a faint fragrance.

After removing the cloth strip, Shanwai Muya went out to get some water. Guoguo observed his arm and found it was swollen. In fact, it was very thick. There were obvious wounds in some places. One by one, they should have been scratched by stone.

After the strip of cloth was removed, his arm started to ache. Previously, it was too tight and there was the ointment, so he didn’t feel any pain.

Just as Guoguo grinned, Shanwai Muya came in with a basin of hot water. There was a handkerchief next to the basin. Muya used a handkerchief to touch the water and then went to wipe Guoguo’s arm.

The ointment was wiped down bit by bit, revealing the red arm, and the swelling, which looked a little scary.

Muya said, “Don’t worry. Swelling means the ointment is working. You just need to apply it a few more times.”

Muya didn’t seem to feel that his injury was serious at all. His tone was very relaxed. Guoguo didn’t understand medical skills, so he didn’t know the specific situation either. He could only believe in what Shanwai Muya said.

After the medicine on his arm was changed, it was time to change the medicine on his leg. Guoguo was ashamed to ask him to change it, but he couldn’t do it himself. Thinking that he had aiready seen everything before, he didn’t hesitate to let Muya take off his pants and change his medicine.

Of course, it would be good if his body wasn’t that stiff.

Shanwai Muya laughed. “We’re just changing your medicine and you’re so shy. What do you want to do then when I carry you to the outhouse?”

Guoguo, who was not in a hurry to pee, suddenly wanted to go to the outhouse. He looked at Shanwai Muya helplessly, wondering how could a childe say such words.

Shanwai Muya said, “Why are you so shy? DDidn’t we agree we were going to get married and have a kid?”

Guoguo was very helpless to see Muya’s confused expression. Aren’t they still not married? They couldn’t do that!

However, Shanwai Muya didn’t care much about it. After he changed the medicine on his leg, he carried him to the outhouse and took off his pants for him. He was not shy at all.

When he saw that Guoguo was really shy, Muya said, “I’ll close my eyes. Just pretend that I don’t exist.”

Guoguo said to himself, “Even if you closed your eyes, I could still feel you hugging me.”

But on his second thought, it was better than to keep them open! Therefore, Guoguo still obediently peed. After that, he immediately asked Muya to carry him back, and Muya’s laughter didn’t stop all the way.

After he carried Guoguo back to the bed, Shanwai Muya wiped his hands and face, which was very considerate.

After being considerate, here came the problem. Guoguo lay on the bed and was ready to fall asleep. After lying for a while, he saw Muya coming in again and lying beside him with his clothes on.

He opened his mouth, but nothing could come out.

Muya looked at him and said, seemingly helpless. “Alright, why are you so shy? I’m the childe!  I’ll blow out the oil lamp to make it easier for you to turn around at night. You call me if there’s anything wrong. Don’t endure it alone. I’m sleepy, so I’ll sleep first.

With that he closed his eyes and let go of his breath.

Guoguo stared at the top of the bed. Why did things suddenly turn out this way? They are not married yet! Why did they sleep in the same bed?

Guoguo was roaring in his heart, but it was just in his heart. It was useless to let him say it. Shanwai Muya would definitely find a reason to refute him. Guoguo had never been so frustrated before. Were the childe he came into contact before with too conservative?

Guoguo just stared at the top of the bed. After staring for a while, his eyes turned tired, and then he closed his eyes to sleep.

He slept until dawn, and did not turn over once …
