The sound of gurgling water came to Luo Yu’s ears, his world seemingly soaked in icy water.

He began to struggle, but his body lost strength due to lack of oxygen. Even so, his hands were waving as hard as he could to grab the life-saving straw in this void.

But his body sank deeper and deeper, and the boundless darkness covered over his head.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Someone was still smashing the glass window, bang after bang, determined and frantic.

Thank you… don’t bother anymore… don’t be dragged down yourself…

Luo Yu touched the vibrating glass with his last strength, just like the last beating of his heart.

“Bang, bang, bang——bang, bang, bang——”

Luo Yu suddenly woke up and opened his eyes to find a patch of bright light above the swaying water surface.

“Luo Yu! Luo Yu, I know you are in there! Come out and let’s have a good talk.”

That voice seemed to have traveled through a decade to his ears.

Luo Yu sat up suddenly, hearing the sound of water splashing back down into the water after breaking its surface. He wiped away the water droplets on his face and found that he was sitting in a bathtub!

What happened? Why was it a bathtub?

He was clearly sitting in the car heading to a certain heavyweight film festival. After more than a decade of ups and downs, he finally got a nomination for Best Supporting Actor based on his own strength, and according to the organizer, this award was 80% his.

But when he was passing along the riverside avenue, in order to avoid the paparazzi, his car accidentally ran off the road and fell into the river.

He still recalled the loud sound and huge impact when he fell into the water, which almost knocked his soul out of his body. The river water poured in, and on top of this extremely bad luck——the buckle of the seat belt and the hem of his suit were stuck together, unable to be disentangled at all…

He didn’t expect that the award-winning film that had been produced after his decade-long accumulation would become his parting work.

But why did he wake up in a bathtub now?

And this bathroom seemed unfamiliar at first glance, but gradually… a familiar feeling came to his heart.

Wasn’t this the small apartment he bought with a loan more than a decade ago?

“Luo Yu, I have tried my best. This is the most significant role I can get for you so far. If… if you are not willing to even take this role, I really… really don’t know what to do.”

The woman outside the door sighed deeply. It was the kind of helplessness after experiencing many layers of pressure, and it was also the last tolerance for the person on the other side of the door.

Luo Yu turned his face sideways and looked at the door in disbelief.

He had thought of this moment countless times in the past ten years, and regretted it countless times. He had willfully let down the other’s efforts and hard work, and also rejected the opportunity to make a comeback.

“Is it… Sister Cui?” Luo Yu’s throat bobbed, and a certain kind of expectation surged into his heart, boiling and burning like the wind fanning a fire.

After hearing his response, Sister Cui’s shoulders trembled obviously and she said loudly: “Besides me, how many sisters do you have?”

Luo Yu’s fingers clasped the edge of the bathtub so hard that they turned white.

What was going on? Why would he return to his old apartment from ten years ago? Sister Cui, the manager who had become extremely disappointed with him and left long ago… Why was she outside his door?

“Sister Cui, please sit on the sofa for a bit. I… will clean myself up and come out, okay?”

Sister Cui outside the door was stunned for a moment, and said half-jokingly: “I thought you had long given up on caring about your image, yet you are still willing to clean and dress up? Is this a courtesy for my sake?”

Luo Yu took a deep breath, calmed down and said, “If I don’t maintain my image, don’t even mention the directors, Sister Cui yourself will even look down on me.”

Sister Cui’s eyes suddenly turned red and she let out a laugh, “It’s good that you know. I’ll wait for you however long as you want.”

After saying that, Sister Cui returned to the living room, but as for Luo Yu’s sofa… there was really no place for her to sit.

Wrinkled clothes were waddled into various shapes, boxes of instant noodles, and unfinished lunch boxes from convenience stores were left laying around in a disorderly manner, and there was even a rancid smell.

Sister Cui finally managed to clean up a piece of pure land. As soon as she sat down, she found a cigarette butt in the gap of the sofa.

“Luo Yu! How many times have I told you! Don’t lie on the sofa and smoke. What if the ash falls and causes a fire!” Sister Cui couldn’t help shouting.

If it was normal, the other would either remain silent or ask coldly, “What does it have to do with you?”

But this time, the person in the bathroom said loudly: “I’ll quit smoking——except when a role requires it, I won’t smoke anymore!”

Sister Cui blinked her eyes and pinched herself hard again. The pain stung so bad that her face almost wrinkled into a prune. But looking at the red mark on her arm clearly reminded her that this was not a dream.

Luo Yu stepped out of the bathtub, and the feeling of his feet touching the ground was so unreal. He leaned on the sink with both hands and looked at himself in the mirror. A blurry outline was reflected in the mist. His heartbeat was racing. He didn’t know what kind of himself he would see.

He stretched out his hand to wipe away the fog on the mirror, revealing a downcast but clearly attractive face.

Somewhat long bangs covered his eyes, which were dim and dull, and made him look sleepy. The stubble on his chin had not been shaved for who knows how long, and the whole person seemed to be an encyclopedic image of the word “depression” in capital letters.

“Cui… Sister Cui…” Luo Yu shouted.

“What’s wrong? Did you fall in the bathroom?” Sister Cui quickly stood up.

“I just want to ask how old… am I this year?” Luo Yu asked.

“Did you damage your brain in the water?”

“I just want to reflect a bit.” Luo Yu said.

“Okay, reflect on it! You are still three months away from turning 26! You are still young among third- and fourth-tier actors. As long as you don’t continue to be in a slump, you still have the possibility of turning things around! Although you prepared for the role for a long time only for it to be snatched away by He Mu, your performance still left a deep impression on the director during the audition. The director told me privately that he will definitely notify you of another opportunity! As long as you don’t run back into a dead end, it doesn’t matter if you are twenty-six or thirty-six, it’s still not the end of the road!”

Luo Yu stood dazed for three seconds, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips. 

Not the end of the road?

When he was young, he felt that being robbed of the role he needed to make a comeback by He Mu, a top star, and being belittled as “He Mu’s dupe” by his rival’ capital marketing, which led to ridicule by the public, being treated as junk and thrown away by the brokerage company he had sincerely trusted in, his Weibo being filled with attacks from anti-fans every time he went to audition for a role, unable to find a new brokerage company… He Mu let Luo Yu understand what it meant to be a champion right after debut, whereas Luo Yu never even made it to the starting line in the end.

After a decade of hard work in his previous life, constantly hitting a wall and constantly looking for new ways out, he understood that what he was facing at this moment was not a dead end at all, but a turning point.

It was just that in his previous life, he had too much self-esteem and didn’t know what was good for him.

The twenty-six year old Luo Yu had youthful capital, vitality, and endless possibilities for matching roles that the thirty-six year old did not have. It was just that at the time, he was living within the frame of labels and scripts designed by others and did not understand this fact clearly.

In this life, he must not bother with rotten people and charge forward courageously.

“Why is it suddenly quiet?” Sister Cui worriedly put her ear to the door.

At this time, the sound of the electric shaver could be heard, and the buzzing sound finally made Sister Cui exhale.

Soon, his chin became much cleaner, and the superior jawline appeared in the mirror.

Luo Yu smiled lightly, then picked up the hair dryer to blow dry his hair. He then found a hair pin and clamped the disheveled hair back from his forehead, revealing a clean and smooth forehead.

“Sister Cui, can you please help me get a change of clothes?” Luo Yu called.

“I’ll go look for it.”

Sister Cui opened Luo Yu’s closet and found that it was also a mess. She didn’t know how long it had been since it had been tidied up. She finally found a white T-shirt and loose casual pants and handed them through the crack of the bathroom door.

After Luo Yu took it, he quickly put it on.

He looked at himself in the mirror. He was 185 cm in height, with a straight back, wide shoulders and narrow waist. He was clearly a walking clothes rack. How many male stars had good-looking facial features but not a good figure like him. He was lucky enough to have natural good looks, yet he spent his time cosplaying a corpse in the tub, what a total waste.

He opened the bathroom door and strode in the direction of Sister Cui.

Sister Cui looked calm, but her clenched fingers revealed her anxiety at the moment. She didn’t know whether Luo Yu’s sudden change was just a fluke or a determination to rise up again.

“Sister Cui!” Luo Yu hugged her and tightened his arms.

This agent still maintained relations with him in the industry when he was negative and depressed, running around to find roles for him. Even if the brokerage company disbanded Luo Yu’s team, Sister Cui did not give up on him. It was a pity that he couldn’t live up to the support at that time, and failed to be worthy of the hard work of this iron lady.

Since he could live a new life, he would not let her hard work go to waste again.

“You… what’s wrong with you?” Sister Cui patted Luo Yu’s back dazedly.

“It’s nothing. Didn’t you say you negotiated a role for me?”

Luo Yu let go of Sister Cui and let her sit back on the sofa. He waved away the debris on the coffee table and sat across from her.

Sister Cui looked at the young man in front of her. He appeared indolent and casual, but also revealed a hint of mature calmness. She was a little unable to recover from her daze.

His eyes no longer look dispirited, but instead all the gloom was swept away, like a finely carved jade stone with the dust wiped clean and placed by the window, shining and brilliant.

The hope that was about to be extinguished in Sister Cui’s heart began to burn again.

“I… what I want to tell you is that there is a script called “Counterattack”. It tells the story of an undercover agent who goes deep into a criminal gang, deals with various forces, continuously gains the trust of the boss, gathers evidence, and finally takes down the gang in one go. The director Wang Daheng has been confirmed, the male lead is Lin Qiao, and the female lead is Li Lanyun.”

“En.” Luo Yu nodded.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“I know that Director Wang has a background in making specific TV series. His works are more streamlined and stereotyped, and young people and even middle-aged people don’t watch them.”

Luo Yu didn’t have a big reaction, which gave Sister Cui the courage to continue talking.

“I read the script… and it is indeed quite stereotyped. There is no captivating dramatic conflict. Even the lines can be guessed after hearing the previous sentence. Lin Qiao and Li Lanyun are not popular actors either… but because of the subject matter, it’s a guaranteed satellite television show.”

In-Progress, The Kingdom That Never Sleeps

The Kingdom That Never Sleeps CH 001 No Money

1 Comment

At the beginning of June, the sun was shining brightly.

The golden rapeseed flowers bloomed all over the field ridges. From a distance, they looked like a sea of gold, swaying in the wind. This rapeseed field was located at the west entrance of Zhao Family Village, next to a school with two rooms.

The Zhao Family Village was not originally called so. Many years ago, for the first time in the village, there was a man who scored the title of juren (TN: successful candidate in the imperial provincial examination). In order to rub against some of wenquxing‘s talent (TN: the constellation in charge of scholarship and exams, a term used to call those good at studying and academics), the village elders took the lead and changed the village name to the Zhao Family Village, which was the surname of that juren laoye (TN: respectful address meaning lord/master).

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

At this moment, there was a lively scene outside the school.

Two middle-aged men in short tunics carrying a wooden box walked into the school. The atmosphere in the school was also very solemn. Sitting at the front of the room was Zeng fuzi (TN: old form of address for teachers, scholars), and to his left stood a handsome boy.

After the two men carried the wooden box into the school, a woman leading a boy of seven or eight years old followed them in.

The woman raised her head carefully, glanced at Zeng fuzi, but soon looked away. Her gaze slid over to the handsome boy next to him, and uttered a noise of surprise. Before she could speak, Zeng fuzi said loudly: “Kneel down to the sage.”

The woman hurriedly said: “Son, hurry and kneel down to the sage!”

That young boy didn’t know what a sage was. But his mother said to kneel down, so he knelt down unconsciously. He obediently kowtowed to the memorial tablet of Confucius three times according to the instructions of Zeng fuzi and his mother, and then kowtowed three more times to Zeng fuzi.

Zeng fuzi nodded with satisfaction and stretched out his hand.

Tang Shen immediately stepped forward, took a cinnabar pen from the hands of the boy’s mother, and handed it to Zeng fuzi. Zeng fuzi held the cinnabar pen in his right hand and a volume of “The Analects of Confucius” in his left hand. He drew a circle around the first sentence with the cinnabar pen, and at the same time recited loudly: “Confucius said: “Is it not a pleasure to study and constantly apply the lessons that you have learned?”

The woman didn’t understand this sentence, but she had reiterated it to her son many times before coming over today.  So when the young boy heard this, he quickly repeated it fluently.

Zeng fuzi stroked his long beard and said, “The child is promising and worth teaching.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Shen took the cinnabar pen and book from Zeng fuzi.

In this way, today’s “opening a pen to break the fog” was over. (TN: known as the first writing ceremony, an old tradition when children first start learning literacy and etiquette in ancient China)

There were more than 70 households in Zhao Family Village, which was considered a big village among the eight villages in this area. This month, two young children will enter the school. Before they enter the school, Zeng fuzi would personally hold the first writing ceremony. Every time at this time, Zeng fuzi would ask a student to help him and conduct the ceremony together. This was a coveted task.

In the past, this candidate was always his distant nephew, but these two times, it somehow turned out to be Tang Shen.

The woman pulled her son up from the ground and looked at Tang Shen strangely. Before she could speak, her brother spoke.

One of the men who was carrying the wooden box said: “Mr. Zeng, why do you always ask the Tang family boy to help conduct the ceremony? I don’t mean any harm, but the Tang family boy is no longer studying in the school and he won’t be a scholar in the future. We respect you, so we ask you to hold the ceremony, and not…” A rascal who doesn’t study anymore!

Zeng fuzi was the only scholar in Zhao Family Village and possesses a scholarly title and achievements so he did not even need to kneel down when meeting the county magistrate. The man didn’t dare to finish his objection, but his disgust was clearly expressed in his words.

Zeng fuzi: “Am I the only scholar in Zhao Family Village?”

The man said: “That’s right.”

Zeng fuzi snorted coldly: “That was not the case a year ago. Let me ask you, although Tang Shen is no longer studying with me, is his father also a scholar or not?”

The man looked embarrassed: “This…”

“When Tang xiucai (TN: a person who has passed the county level imperial exam) was alive, you all fawned over him and asked him to help your son conduct the first writing ceremony. Now that he has only been gone for a year, you all have completely forgotten about it. With Tang xiucai‘s son to help your son conduct the ceremony, yet you are not happy?”

The man had nothing to say and glanced at Tang Shen with shame.

Tang Shen still had the same calm expression, with bright eyes and a slight smile on his face, without a single flaw to be seen.

After the ceremony was over, the family handed a red envelope to Zeng fuzi and Tang Shen respectively, and then also gifted a box of cold cakes and a basket of sweet rice dumplings, which together meant “cake rice dumplings”, and symbolized “passing the exam brilliantly”.

After these people left, Tang Shen said helplessly: “Sir, you can take care of me for a while, but not for a lifetime.”

Zeng fuzi picked up a piece of cold cake and said while eating: “You also know this? I am already an old man with half a foot in the grave. If you really want to save me from worry, then why don’t you come back to school and score a scholarly title?”

Tang Shen said innocently: “My family is poor, and can’t afford the high price of schooling.”

Schooling, that was, tuition fees.

Zeng fuzi said angrily: “Do you think I lack your tuition fees?” As he said that, he picked up a piece of cold cake and threw it at Tang Shen.

The handsome boy laughed, dodged the piece of cold cake, picked up the red envelope without courtesy, turned on his heel and ran off. Halfway out the door, he seemed to remember that he had forgotten to take something, so he ran back inside and grabbed a box of cold cakes and a basket of sweet rice dumplings.

Zeng fuzi’s eyes widened with anger.

Tang Shen said righteously: “Ah Huang likes to eat.”

“Get out of my sight!”

“Hahahaha.”

After leaving the school and walking in the rapeseed field, Tang Shen took out a piece of cold cake from the box and took a bite.

“Hmm… red dates, glutinous rice, the flavor of dates is a bit strong, a bit like red date ice cream?” After saying that, he smiled and shook his head, “It’s far from ice cream.” Though he said this, he still took another piece out and ate it.

When he walked out of the rapeseed field, Tang Shen looked back at the school.

The sky was blue and the clouds were white, and the fields were filled with yellow flowers.

“It’s been two months…”

Yes, two full months have passed since Tang Shen transmirated to the Zhao Family Village and became this “Tang Shen”.

His name was also Tang Shen.

Two months ago, he was a doctoral student at a top 2 university in China, working under a professor to conduct a new energy consumption testing experiment. This experiment almost drained the energy of all the researchers in the laboratory. Tang Shen didn’t close his eyes for three days and three nights. Just when he finally calculated an important data, the next second he opened his eyes, he found himself here.

Tang Shen, who had just arrived in the ancient times, was bemused. Before he had the chance to pull himself out of the swamp of experimental data, he was faced with a more serious survival problem: no money!

Recalling the bitter memories of two months ago, Tang Shen shed tears in his heart and arrived at the herbal tea shop at the head of the village with his cold cakes and sweet rice dumplings. As soon as he arrived, a crisp feminine voice rang out: “Tang Shen! Where have you been wandering around again!”

A figure wearing a gray tunic rushed in front of Tang Shen.

This was a short and thin little girl with darkly tan skin. She looked about eight or nine years old, but she was a full head and a half shorter than the thirteen-year-old Tang Shen. She stood on tiptoes and looked at Tang Shen furiously. Her forehead was covered with sweat and her clothes were also soaked in sweat. “You didn’t come here all morning but I sold a lot of fruit juice. I sold it all by myself.”

Tang Shen shook the cold cake and sweet rice dumplings in his hands: “Look what this is, I went to see Zeng fuzi.”

The girl’s eyes lit up: “I’m hungry.”

“It’s all yours.”

Tang Huang picked up a piece of cold cake and wolfed it down. “The rice dumplings can wait for when we get home. I’ll heat them up for you to eat.”

Tang Shen: “You can just eat it yourself. How much juice did you sell this morning?”

The little girl was happily eating the cold cake. When she heard this, she stared at Tang Shen warily like a she-wolf guarding her cubs: “What do you want to do? I’m telling you, you are not allowed to touch a single coin of that money. It must be saved to pay for your tuition, you have to go back to study!”

Tang Shen didn’t answer. He looked at the little girl’s clothes that were soaked with sweat and frowned: “Why didn’t you drink some of the juice to relieve the heat?”

“No way, the juice must be sold for money!”

Tang Shen directly poured a cup of juice and handed it to Ah Huang. The little girl was not happy at first, but finally accepted it in the end. She took a cautious sip and squinted her eyes in pleasure.

The proprietress of the herbal tea shop smiled and said: “The Tang family boy is here? Don’t worry, your Ah Huang sold a lot of fruit juice this morning. Those hoodlums wanted to bully your Ah Huang when they saw you were not around. I hadn’t even spoken yet, when the next moment, they were all scared away by your Ah Huang. The little girl looks thin and small, but she is very fierce when protecting the stall.”

Tang Shen’s expression changed when he heard the word “hoodlums”. The corners of his lips curved up coldly, and though he was obviously smiling, it caused goosebumps to pop up despite the hot summer weather.

“They still dare to come?”

As soon as he finished speaking, several hoodlums happened to walk to the head of the village. They originally wanted to make trouble for Tang Huang, but when they suddenly saw Tang Shen, they were stunned. The leader of the hoodlums cursed something obscene and sat down on a boulder on the side of the road, watching Tang Shen without moving.

Tang Shen smiled.

The hoodlum gritted his teeth and did not dare to make a move.

This scene looked very strange. A group of 17 to 18-year-old hoodlums were actually so frightened by a 12 to 13-year-old boy that they dared not move. No one was able to figure it out and felt it was baffling indeed. However, if they witnessed two months ago, this group of hoodlums being chased by this boy with a kitchen knife from the east entrance to the west entrance of the village, they would not feel strange at all.

The hoodlum still remembered even now what Tang Shen looked like at that time. He was so thin that he barely had much flesh on his body, but his eyes were big and red, like a devil, holding a kitchen knife in hand and chasing them fiercely like a rabid dog. It wasn’t until they were so frightened that they jumped into the river to escape that they finally lost Tang Shen who had been hot on their heels.

Tang xiucai died a year ago, leaving only the Tang family brother and sister, orphaned and helpless. The hoodlums in the village always bullied them, and it was always fine in the past. But two months ago, Tang Shen almost died of an illness. After recovering from the illness, he seemed like a completely different person.

He was no longer so submissive and timid. First, he scared away the hoodlums, and also gained Zeng fuzi‘s favor. The most amazing thing was that he picked fruits from the sour fruit tree that no one wanted in front of his house and concocted a strange “apple juice”. This juice was sour and sweet and was very refreshing to drink in summer so it sold quite well in the village.

The couple at the herbal tea shop felt sorry for the orphaned siblings and allowed them to set up a stall outside their shop to sell juice. It was not like two children could make enough juice to take away much business, and they could also help keep an eye on the two children.

The little girl finished eating the cold cake: “Tang Shen, did you go to deliver fruit juice to the village head this morning?”

“En, what’s wrong?”

“That cup of fruit juice costs two copper coins!” What a loss!

At this time a new customer came to buy apple juice. Tang Shen filled a cup for him and turned around and said, “What do you know, Tang Huang? That’s called advertisement.”

Ah Huang said angrily: “What advertisement? The way I see it, you are the money-spreading boy next to Master Guanyin. Also, I always feel that your expression is weird when you call my name. You used to call me Ah Huang instead of Tang Huang.”

Tang Shen said calmly: “What do children know? This is called art.”

In the afternoon, the weather was extremely hot, and more and more villagers came to drink tea at the herbal tea shop.

Herbal tea was cheap and fruit juice was expensive, but fruit juice was more delicious and relieved the heat better. Occasionally, someone would come to buy juice, and the siblings could make enough money to feed themselves. By evening, the fruit juice was almost sold out, and Tang Shen began to close the stall.

From a distance, a carriage coming slowly from the village entrance appeared, the shaft of the carriage making a creaking sound as it moved.

Zhao Family Village was located at the junction of several nearby villages. Outsiders often pass by, but carriages were rare and could only be seen once a month. Ah Huang leaned over to take a look curiously, and Tang Shen also took a look.

Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, so the carriage actually stopped in front of the herbal tea shop.

The curtain of the carriage lifted, and a young man wearing a long straight green tunic got out of the carriage first. As soon as he got out of the carriage, he turned back to support the people behind him. Behind him, an elderly man slowly stepped out of the carriage.

He was quite old and had gray hair, but his eyes were bright and his back was straight, exuding a sense of majesty.

The villagers couldn’t see deeper, they just thought the old man was very majestic and didn’t dare to look directly at him. Tang Shen once had the chance to meet a senior political leader of the country in his previous life, and he could tell at a glance that this old man had the aura of having been in a position of power for a long time. Tang Shen’s eyes sharpened and he looked at the other carefully.

Tang Shen: “Let’s go home early.”

Ah Huang: “Huh? The juice hasn’t been sold out yet.”

“Then take it home and drink it yourself.”

“…”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Tang Shen! If you continue to be so extravagant, sooner or later that bit of family savings of ours will be squandered by you!”

Tang Shen thought to himself: Just that bit of private money you have, there is hardly any need for him to squander at all. If you add it all up, you can’t even buy a few taels worth of lamp oil!

AN: Tang Shen: I wonder, our family doesn’t have any money to squander.

Tang Huang: Don’t wonder!

These Werebeast Gongs Are Rogues

These Werebeast Gongs Are Rogues CH 050 Lei Jin Goes Missing

3 Comments

There was a small hunt once a month in the tribe. At this time, people could go at random and there were not as many people. Except for a part of the prey they hunted to be handed over to the tribe, the rest were to each family. Once every three months was the so-called big hunt. Other than the patrolling werebeasts left in the tribe the other werebeasts must go, and the prey brought back from the big hunt must be divided equally among the tribe, including those old werebeast partners and families without adult werebeasts.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

This time, except for Mingya who would stay with Roger, An Sen, An Luo, Xiya, Moya and Lei Jin were all going to go out. It was estimated that it would take about ten days. Packing a couple change of clothes was enough, but Lei Jin prepared a lot just in case. He made two more bows, a large bundle of arrows, and roasted a large bag of jerky.

Moya helped cut the meat into thin slices, brushed it with oil, salt and seasonings, and put it on the roof to dry. Lei Jin then grilled it on the charcoal fire and continued to dry it.

When everything was ready, they were just waiting for the departure tomorrow. Now that he was really going to leave, apart from the excitement of going home, Lei Jin also had some indescribable feelings. In any case, he had been here for three to four months. This family had also been very good to him, especially Moya. He knew that even though the two of them already have an intimate relationship, if he successfully went back this time, they would probably never have the chance to meet again in this lifetime.

That night, the two avoided Xiya and Mingya. For the first time, Lei Jin let Moya have his way without any resistance. Afterwards, the two of them washed in the stream.

Lei Jin suddenly asked: “Moya, if I want to go home, will you go back with me?”

After asking, Lei Jin suddenly didn’t want to hear Moya’s answer.

But since he asked, he couldn’t take it back, and he wasn’t the kind of person to avoid things. At that moment, Lei Jin felt that his heartbeat could be heard even in the quiet surroundings.

But Moya fell silent, and did not speak.

In the end, the result was still the same! Lei Jin looked at his own blurred reflection in the stream, and at that moment a lot of things flashed by in his heart, as if there was nothing there, just empty, nothing to settle for.

After washing up, Lei Jin avoided Moya’s hand, and went back to his room to sleep. Even when Lei Jin fell asleep Moya did not come back, but when he woke up the next day, there were obvious signs of sleeping next to him.

Packed up and prepared, everyone got ready to go. Before going out, Roger pulled Lei Jin aside and said in a gruff tone: “If you can’t find the way back, just get your ass back here. My family is not afraid of feeding one more of you. At least you can cook well.”

Lei Jin smiled and did not banter with him this time. He gave Roger a big hug and said, “Thank you Roger, I know you don’t want me to go. After I leave, you are the only one left in this world. You have to take care of yourself.”

“Don’t be disgusting, you! Whether you can find your way back is another matter.” Roger handed him a small roll of things in his hand, and said: “I don’t know if this thing is useful to you now, but take it anyway.” It took him nearly twenty years to vaguely figure out that the way back was related to the distribution of the constellations in the sky of this world, but he had not yet made a final judgment on where the entrance to go back was located. It might be possible for Lei Jin to find it by chance, but the result was likely not optimistic. He originally thought that Lei Jin would stay for a few more days, and he might find some more clues by then.

The werebeasts who were going to participate in the hunting had to gather in front of the temple. When Mingya, who had always been obedient by Roger’s side, saw them walking away, he lowered his head and asked Roger: “Ah Ma, was Mingya very obedient this time?” Ah Ma said that Lei Jin was leaving, and that Mingya should not pester him.

“Mingya was very good today.”

“Ah Ma, I still want to go and see him.” Seeing that Ah Ma didn’t speak, Mingya was worried that he would not let him go, so he anxiously assured him: “Ah Ma, I will just watch him from behind the tree, and I won’t let him find out.”

“Go, come back early.” Roger patted his head.

“Then, Ah Ma, I’m going.” Mingya jumped on his four paws, and quickly ran towards the temple.

Roger recalled last night when he was planning to sleep, Moya suddenly came to him. The two sat outside the house for a long time, at the end, Moya seemed to have finally made up his mind, and asked: “Ah Ma, if I leave with Lei Jin, will you blame me?”

Although Mingya ran fast, when he arrived, he was still a step late. The werebeasts had already turned into their beast forms, spread their wings, and flew off into the distance. He knew that Lei Jin must be on the back of Eldest Brother or Second Brother, but he couldn’t see it. Mingya ran behind for a long time, but his wings could not fly yet, so he could only watch Lei Jin and the werebeasts in the tribe shrink in size in the sky until they disappeared from sight.

Mingya tried his best to raise his head, but the tears in his eyes still slipped to his mouth, and it tasted a little bitter.

The first few days of hunting were relatively smooth. The werebeasts of the Leopard Tribe were inherently valiant, and when they chased their prey, they could cooperate with reasonable division of labor. Some were responsible for following the prey’s trail, others in cutting off escape routes, and the rest in direct combat. With such cooperation, few prey could escape their encirclement.

During the day, the werebeasts basically maintained their beast form so that they could chase their prey at any time. At night, except for those who patrol at night, they all returned to their human form. Being in the jungle, everyone just randomly found shelter from the wind, set up a bonfire, and roasted their prey. With big mouthfuls of meat to go with the big jars of water, the werebeasts could drink it all in one go.

At first, the werebeasts were a little surprised when they saw Lei Jin also coming with them. They felt that Lei Jin, as a female, just came to watch the fun, and Xiya and Moya spoiled their female too much. After all, this was hunting, not playing, how could they let their female fool around like this. It was very dangerous for werebeasts to be distracted from hunting.

But after getting along with each other for a few days, everyone changed their minds. Lei Jin didn’t cause any trouble for everyone. Every time he encountered a ferocious beast he knew couldn’t help with, he would obediently hide on the side.

When encountering prey that weren’t so big, Lei Jin could shoot arrows and help out a little. He could also hunt some small wild prey by himself. Lei Jin’s temperament was also cheerful and unrestrained. Most werebeasts have heard his name and know that he had helped the tribe a lot, but Lei Jin was a female with a werebeast after all, and the werebeasts didn’t have much chance to get along with him normally. It was only this time they had the chance to become more familiar with each other, and also got along quite well.

Although they were in the wild, Xiya and Moya knew that Lei Jin still had to take a bath every night, and if he didn’t wash one day, he wouldn’t be able to sleep well all night, so they took turns to accompany him.

Moya and Lei Jin had a few chances to be alone, but everytime Moya wanted to speak, Lei Jin interrupted with excuses.

This was the night of the seventh day in the jungle. Although there were not many people who came this time, the amount of prey they hunted was no less than before. The werebeasts discussed that if the result in the next two days were good, they could return to the tribe one day earlier.

Although Lei Jin followed everyone, he also secretly observed that during the first few days they were still at the edge of the jungle, where the sun was shining and the vision was clear. These days, they had gradually reached the depths of the jungle, where the trees obscured the sun and it became darker and more humid. Lei Jin felt that it should be close to the place where he came from, but he was still not sure which direction to go.

That night, it was Moya’s turn to accompany Lei Jin to take a bath. Lei Jin stretched a bit on the shore, took off his clothes and plunged into the water. The waters in the jungle were naturally cold and Lei Jin didn’t dare to stay too long. After rinsing himself head to toe, it was Moya’s turn while he waited on the shore to dry.

Moya was worried about Lei Jin on the shore, as the wild beasts in the jungle often come to the shore to drink water at night, so he came up after a quick wash.

The water on Lei Jin’s body was not dry yet, so of course he hadn’t put on any clothes. Seeing Moya coming up from the waters naked at this moment, he didn’t react much either. After all, the two of them had done everything, and it was too late to pretend to be shy now. Of course, Lei Jin himself didn’t know how to be shy anyway.

“About your question that night…..” Moya just started.

Lei Jin had originally closed his eyes to rest his mind, he was very tired after running around these days, but now when he heard Moya’s words, he opened his eyes lazily and said: “I was joking, you still took it seriously? There are no werebeasts in my world, if I really brought you back, I would worry that there would be no place to release you, right?”

He had already forgotten, who knew Moya was still entangled. His brain circuit must have been disconnected at the time, so he would ask that idiotic question. He regretted it now, and really wanted to beg Moya not to mention it again. Everytime it was mentioned it was as humiliating as if he had been slaped him in the face.

“Lei Jin, listen to me.” Moya came over, grabbed his shoulders with both hands only to come into contact with cold skin, “Why is your body so cold?”

“Maybe I haven’t recovered from the water just now.” Lei Jin replied indifferently, “By the way, I don’t know the direction now. Do you know how far it was from where I came from?” After discussing it together before, Xiya and Moya seem to know that place.

“If it is fast, we will arrive tomorrow, if it is slow, it will be the day after tomorrow.” Moya replied.

“It’s indeed really fast.” A gust of wind blew over, and Lei Jin shivered.

“It’s windy by the river, put on your clothes, let’s go back.” Moya picked up Lei Jin’s clothes that were placed on the stone.

Lei Jin didn’t take it, and smiled at Moya: “It’s cold, but isn’t there still you?”

Moya didn’t understand what he meant.

Lei Jin encircled his neck with his arms directly, sighed softly and said, “Moya, let’s do it.”

Under the moonlight, Lei Jin’s beautiful body was even more of a temptation to Moya. The two exchanged a kiss, equal heat in their eyes.

The two arrived behind a boulder, Moya was afraid that the stones on the ground would hurt Lei Jin, so he sat on the ground himself and had Lei Jin sit on his lap. Lei Jin cooperated all the way tonight. Moya’s hands reached behind him, separated the two soft mounds, and fingertips moistened in clean water gently opened him up.

Lei Jin endured the strange feeling, and after a while, when Moya still did not come in, he said impatiently: “It’s ok, don’t stretch anymore, just come in.”

“I didn’t bring jade mugwort, you will get hurt.” Although Moya was impatient, he still had a sense of reason.

“The first time you went in me, you didn’t bring it with you either. Why did you still dare to barge in, huh?” Lei Jin said carelessly, not appreciative at all.

Speaking of that time, Moya had nothing to say, but the movement of his fingers didn’t stop.

Lei Jin intentionally rubbed against him twice, and sure enough, he felt Moya’s breathing become heavy, and the next moment he felt his insides filled with searing heat.

Seeing that the two had gone for such a long time and hadn’t come back, Xiya was worried that something might have happened to them, so he went to the river to look for them. At first, he didn’t see anyone, but only saw the clothes of the two on the stone. Startled, he wondered if the two encountered a surprise attack while taking a bath? But after taking just two steps, Xiya knew what was going on.

Behind the boulder came Lei Jin’s low voice: “Moya…..hurry up…..faster…..”

“Lei Jin…..hold me tight…..”

“En…..Moya…..”

“…..”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Moya released inside of Lei Jin’s body, knowing that Lei Jin’s physical strength should not be consumed too much in the jungle, he only stayed for a while and then decisively withdrew. He kissed the sweaty forehead of the person in his arms, and said softly: “Don’t worry, go to sleep, no matter where you go, I will accompany you.”

Of course, the person who said this now would not know. An unexpected thing happened the next day, and Lei Jin went missing since.

These Werebeast Gongs Are Rogues CH 049 The Eve Of Going To The Jungle

Leave a comment

“Moya, when did you come?” Lei Jin stood up, his hands that had already been wiped clean felt slightly hot, and he wiped his pants nervously, suddenly feeling like being caught cheating by his wife.

“As soon as I got home, I heard that something happened at the temple. Ah Ma sent me to come over to see if Eldest Brother was hurt or not.” Moya replied.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Oh, I’ve already stopped the bleeding.” Lei Jin saw that there was nothing unusual about Moya, and thought with a lucky feeling that Moya might not have seen what happened with such a large area of ​​trees here.

“Eldest Brother is really injured?” Moya’s calmness from just now changed, and his eyes showed anxiety. Xiya had been sitting with his back to the tree trunk, and Moya had yet to have the chance to look carefully.

“It’s not a big deal, look at how anxious you are.” Taking advantage of the time the two were talking, Xiya calmed his breathing down. He pointed to the wound and said, “Look, the bleeding has stopped with Lei Jin’s help.”

Moya still obviously looked a little worried.

“The herbalist doesn’t have time to come over now, so use alcohol to disinfect the wound first.” Lei Jin interjected, and turned back to Ivey: “Ivey, where’s the wine you brought?”

“It’s here, it’s here.” Ivey handed over the wine jar in his arms.

“Moya, you press Xiya’s leg to keep him from moving around, it may hurt a little bit.”

Moya nodded in agreement.

Lei Jin pulled open the seal of the wine jar, and the rich aroma of the wine filled the air. It was really good wine as Ivey said. Lei Jin took a mouthful of the wine in his mouth and moved closer to Xiya’s wound.

“Wait a minute.” Ivey stopped, and said: “I have never seen someone who uses wine to heal a wound, Lei Jin, are you sure this method was feasible?” In truth, Ivey felt that his question was a little superfluous. Xiya and Moya’s attitude were not suspicious at all, and he didn’t even know how the two of them have such defenseless trust in Lei Jin?

Lei Jin couldn’t answer with wine in his mouth, but the person involved said, “Ivey, let Lei Jin try.”

Xiya spoke up, and Ivey couldn’t say anything more.

Lei Jin sprayed the wine in his mouth on the wound.

Although Xiya tried his best to endure it, he still couldn’t help but groan in pain, instinctively trying to retract the leg that was pressed down by Moya.

“Eldest Brother…..” Moya said worriedly.

Xiya shook his head.

“Press down tight, Moya.” Lei Jin said.

After repeating this several times, the dirty blood in Xiya’s wound had been washed away, and Lei Jin had used up nearly half of the jar of wine.

Moya took out a small cloth towel from his pocket and helped Xiya wipe the sweat off his face.

“Xiya, are you okay?” Ivey looked at Xiya’s pale face from the pain just now.

Xiya didn’t have the strength to speak yet, he just shook his head to show that he was fine.

They have been busy for a long time, and those with the serious injuries have been mostly taken care of by the herbalists. Two of them were already starting to come this way.

Ivey didn’t have time to care about lining up, he directly went up to them and invited one over. Firstly, he was really concerned about Xiya’s injury, and secondly, he was still worried about Lei Jin’s method of using wine to heal the injury.

The middle-aged herbalist held a small knife in his hand, which was not even as long as the length of his palm. Don’t know what material it was made of, but it looked extremely sharp. The young female followed behind, carrying a medicine box and a jar of clean water.

“The wound was cleaned very well.” The herbalist praised with a smile after checking it.

“Teacher, then is there still a need to wash it again with clean water?”

“No, I just need to cut out the flesh near the wound.”

“Wait a minute, I’ve already disinfected the wound, he won’t be infected, you can just apply the medicine.”

“Disinfection? Infection?” The middle-aged herbalist didn’t know what Lei Jin meant.

“If you don’t gouge out the flesh there, the medicine won’t work. When the flesh there rots, his whole leg will become useless.” The young female behind said with a frown. This had always been the treatment for wounds in the tribe.

“Subi, don’t talk yet. You are Lei Jin, right? I’m Qing Qiao, the herbalist in the tribe. If I’m not wrong, you washed Xiya’s wound with wine, right?” He smelled it as soon as he came over. There was a very strong smell of alcohol.

Wine? Subi opened his mouth wide in surprise, but he still listened to what his teacher said and did not make a sound.

Lei Jin nodded, there was nothing to hide.

“Are you sure that you don’t need to gouge out the wound after you wash the wound with wine? You must know, if you really put medicine on him and wrap the wound like this, if the wound festers, Xiya’s leg will be crippled entirely.”

Lei Jin tried this method in the modern world many times. After all, when he was still at the bottom of the ranks, it was necessary to charge at the front of fights every time. But he had no money to go to the hospital every day, so he could only buy a bottle of white wine from a small shop and wash the wound by himself. After so many years there had been no problem, but as the saying goes, you could never be too sure. Just in case, if there was a possibility Xiya’s leg might really become crippled, he couldn’t bear the responsibility.

“Herbalist Qing Qiao, just apply the medicine like this. At worst, I’ll take apart the bandages tomorrow to have a look. If the wound has festered, I’ll gouge out the flesh and treat it immediately. If it’s fine, then it won’t be so painful for those injured in the tribe in the future. Just wash it with more wine and it will be fine.” Seeing that Lei Jin was troubled, Xiya immediately uttered a word to smooth things over.

Herbalist Qing Qiao finished applying the medicine to Xiya, bandaged it, and gave three packs of medicine, telling him to pay attention tonight. If he had a fever, he must take the medicine in time to reduce the fever.

With the help of Ivey, Moya supported Xiya onto his back and went home.

Roger had been waiting at the door for a long time, and seeing that Xiya was being carried back, he staggered a bit, ran up quickly, and asked, “Xiya, where are you hurt?”

Xiya relayed his condition again, telling him not to worry too much.

In the evening Lei Jin cooked meat broth, and Xiya had a good appetite, eating several bowls in a row, and happily drank the medicine prepared by Moya.

Fearing that Xiya would come down with a fever in the middle of the night, Roger originally said that he would keep watch, but Roger’s health had never been very good, and Xiya was injured today, so he barely ate anything at all tonight. It was only after the joint persuasion of Moya and Xiya that he gave up the idea. Tonight Lei Jin and Moya slept on the floor in Xiya’s room. The little guy also wanted to come over, but Lei Jin grabbed his ears and sent him back to his room to sleep. As a little child, how could he stay up late like adults?

The two dared not really fall asleep. After a while, they would get up and feel Xiya’s forehead. It was alright in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, he really came down with a fever and even started talking nonsense. His hands wouldn’t let go of Lei Jin either. Moya went to boil the second bag of medicine, and the two of them worked together to force it into him.

After taking the medicine, the effect would not be seen for a while, and the high fever persisted, so they brought out the wine jars at home, poured it into a basin, and rubbed it all over his body again and again.

After tossing around for most of the night, the fever finally subsided, and Xiya slept a lot more peacefully.

Lei Jin shook his arms and moved his body around to relieve the soreness. After wiping down Xiya, his arms were almost stiff. Moya pulled him over, exerted force on his fingertips and kneaded his muscles for him. It indeed felt much more comfortable.

It was still pitch black outside, but Moya said, “It’s almost dawn, shall we go see the sunrise on the grassland?”

Lei Jin rubbed his sore eyes, he had been busy all night, and he wanted to sleep most right now. He had never been a romantic guy at all, but seeing Moya’s eagerness, he felt that it was not good to spoil his interest too much.

Moya didn’t turn into his beast shape, but spread his wings, and took Lei Jin across the creek in front of their dwelling and over the sparse trees and tall grass on the grassland. The two flew towards the direction of the rising sun in the east. Along the way, the sky gradually faded white.

Finally, they stopped at a slightly higher hill on the grassland. Looking around, the green grassland was vast and boundless, with flowers dotted on it, and a jade-colored river winding through it.

The sun had already peeked out on the horizon, and through the thin clouds, they could see the clear red outline of the sun.

Lei Jin sat beside Moya, and yawned quietly. When he looked up again, the sun had already broken free from the clouds, and everything on the grassland was covered with a golden halo. He also saw a flock of birds fly by in the sky. On the grassland, the herbivores began to wander out to eat grass and drink leisurely in groups. Hidden behind the bushes were predators waiting for the right moment to pounce.

It was an early morning on a vibrant grassland.

“Every time I see the sunrise on the grassland, I feel hopeful.” Moya said with emotion, but he didn’t hear Lei Jin’s answer, so he turned his head only to see that he had already fallen asleep beside him.

Moya smiled self-consciously, it seemed that he was really tired last night, and didn’t even wake up when he carried him in his arms despite this being the position he hated the most.

When they went back, Xiya was already awake, sitting on the edge of the bed, ready to get down.

Moya hurriedly said: “Eldest Brother, don’t be in a hurry, I’ll put Lei Jin down first, and then I’ll help you.” Xiya saw that Lei Jin was sleeping soundly and defenselessly in Moya’s arms, and felt a little sour in his heart. But he also knew that this was not the time to be jealous, however it didn’t stop him from wanting to hug him.

“Moya, could I hug him?” Xiya discussed.

Moya tightened his hold on Lei Jin, glanced at Xiya, then handed Lei Jin over carefully. He said, “He just fell asleep.”

Xiya nodded, taking him over lightly in his arms. Lei Jin frowned uncomfortably, and muttered: “Moya, no, I’m sleepy.”

Xiya’s face froze slightly, and he said, “Okay, Moya, you can take him to sleep.”

“He took care of you all night last night.” Before leaving, Moya left these words that seemed to explain as well as to comfort.

Xiya looked at his back, smiled slightly, and muttered, “As if I need your comfort here, I’m the elder brother, okay?”

After that night, Xiya didn’t have a fever again, and the wound on his leg healed day by day. After more than half a month like this, such a big wound healed completely, although it left a scar.

Even Lei Jin was amazed. People say that it should take at least a hundred days to recover from such a bone deep wound but the werebeast’s recovery ability was too amazing. Herbalist Qing Qiao even visited in person, and was very happy with Xiya’s quick recovery. Although the other werebeasts were not bad, Xiya was undoubtedly the one who recovered the fastest among them.

The hunting period in the tribe was about to come. This time, due to the large number of injured werebeasts, there was obviously a shortage of manpower. Lei Jin heard that they would be going to the jungle this time, so he must go no matter what. Besides, his bow and arrows have also been made during these days. The power was not bad, at least he had managed to shoot a deer with it last time.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Originally, no one in the family agreed with him going, as it would be chaotic, and they were afraid that they would not be able to take care of him. But Lei Jin insisted on going, and Xiya and the others probably understood his intention, so they had to let him go in the end. At most, they would make sure to protect him well.

But they forgot that Lei Jin was someone who could not be trusted. This jungle hunting ushered in the first major crisis between them, but who could say that this was not also a turning point?

These Werebeast Gongs Are Rogues CH 048 Treating The Injury

1 Comment

TN: bonus chapter!💕

Seeing Lei Jin staring at the pattern deep in thought, Xiya suddenly felt a little panicked for no reason. He remembered that Ah Ma was also particularly interested in these things. There was a time when Ah Ma’s greatest hobby was to bring the three of them here and take with him the charcoal pencil he made himself to trace these patterns in detail.

“What is written on here? Xiya?” Lei Jin could now speak the language here very smoothly, but reading and writing the words here were not good enough. He and these words have been looking at each other for a long time, but neither of them recognized the other.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“We don’t know about these either. They are some patterns passed down from generation to generation by the tribe leaders, but even Uncle An Bu doesn’t understand the meaning of them.”

“Then why do you still want to erect pillars here?” Moreover, it was such a big project. Although the werebeasts were extremely powerful, such huge stone pillars, especially when there were no mechanical tools here, would also pose a challenge. He didn’t even know how these people could have transported the stone down from the mountains. Not to mention they also had to carve it into a pillar shape, and then erect it.

“This has been passed down from generation to generation in the tribe. Every year of cycle, a pillar must be erected behind the temple. The old priest in the tribe said that this is used to pray for the gods to protect our tribe.” Xiya thought about it and told him everything he knew.

“Is that so? But I obviously haven’t seen it before, so it doesn’t make sense that it looks so familiar?” Lei Jin felt the patterns under his hands, wondering how they carved them. This was the center of the stone forest, one stone pillar being erected every twenty years. The stone pillar next to him should at least be several hundred years old, yet the pattern was still so clear after so long out in the wind and rain?

“What did you say?” Lei Jin’s voice was too low, no matter how good the werebeast’s hearing was, this still could not be helped.

“Forget it, let me help you out first to see if the herbalist has arrived?” These could be discussed later, Xiya’s injury was more important.

Xiya handed him his hand very willingly. Lei Jin shook his head, picked up the things on the ground and tied them to his body, then stuffed the fruit into his bosom, supporting Xiya with his free hands.

“Actually, it’s not a big deal. Most of the blood on my body is from when I saved others just now.” Xiya frowned, the smell was really strong.

“I know.” If it weren’t for the fact that most of the bloodstains were only stuck to the clothes, how could he have the heart to continue chatting here.

“What are you doing with these bamboo pieces?” Xiya wanted to untie the knot tied to Lei Jin’s chest and carry those bamboo pieces on his own back, but as soon as he got close, Lei Jin slapped him away.

“Behave, you.” He really couldn’t be soft with this guy at all, Lei Jin glanced at Xiya who had an innocent expression, thinking to himself.

“I’m wronged, I just want to help you carry it.” Xiya said with a smile on his face.

“Don’t take me for a weak female in your tribe. I’m not that delicate.” He probably would never be able to enjoy this kind of constant care with peace of mind. After all, as a man, he had been in the role of caring for others for the past 28 years rather than the one being cared for.

“Yes, I understand. I will remember everything you say in the future.” As for whether he would follow through, that was another matter.

Why did these words sound so awkward, Lei Jin thought.

“Xiya, where did you go?” As soon as the two of them walked out of the stone forest, Ivey was just about to give Xiya a friendly punch when he came over.

Lei Jin pulled Xiya two steps back, frowned and explained, “He is injured.”

Hearing this, Ivey stared at Xiya with eyes as big as bird eggs, and asked, “Are you really injured?” Xiya was still alive and kicking when he left, how did he get injured after he had just left for a bit.

Seeing Lei Jin next to him, Ivey blinked at Xiya, expressing that he understood, this idea was really good, just look at how attentive Lei Jin was now.

“Boy, you’re smart.” This brother understood, Ivey’s eyes clearly expressed this meaning.

Xiya could only smile wryly, just what was this all about. He was too lazy to quibble with Ivey.

This time three herbalists came, all of them were elderly females, each followed by a young female carrying a medicine basket, responsible for delivering the medicines. Xiya said that they were the herbalists’ apprentices, and they were still in the learning stage, so they couldn’t practice on their own. Every generation of herbalists in the tribe were female.

Because a lot of people were injured this time, the three herbalists were really too busy, so they had to start with the most seriously injured. Xiya’s injury seemed to be minor, so he could only stay on the side with the other minorly injured people.

When Lei Jin went up the mountain, Moya was worried about him and gave him a knife to defend himself. At this moment, Lei Jin laid down Xiya’s injured leg, cut open the trouser leg with the knife, and pulled up the trouser carefully avoiding his wound.

Even though he was used to bloody scenes, and his body also had countless scars, when he saw the wound on Xiya’s leg, Lei Jin still took a deep breath.

It was lucky that the other was still able to support himself and bicker with him, making him think that it was not a serious injury. It turned out that a bloody hole the size of a bowl was directly smashed into his leg, and it was deep enough to see the bone, the blood still flowing even now.

“How did you get this, Xiya?” Ivey was still sitting on the ground chatting with Xiya, but when he saw the wound, he immediately jumped up and asked.

“You went to find the herbalists, we were here moving the pillars to save the people who were pressed under, and someone’s hand slipped, and the pillar fell down. But fortunately everyone moved quickly, no one was hit, and I just got a stone spike through my leg ” Xiya said lightly, as if this leg was not his but growing on someone else.

“Why didn’t you say it earlier, I’ll ask the herbalist to come and have a look, how can your injury be considered a minor injury? If the treatment is late, just you wait for it to be disabled, which female will still like you then?” Ivey was very vexed.

Xiya said: “Don’t go, don’t you see that the people the herbalists are treating are much more seriously injured than me. If they are treated late, it will not just be a case of disability, but a matter of life and death.”

But he looked at Lei Jin with a satisfied smile in his eyes, the other was currently busy working on his leg without saying a word.

“Ivey, please help me get some alcohol, the stronger the better.” Lei Jin said suddenly.

“Alcohol? Oh. I’ll go right away, I still have two jars of good quality at home.” Although he didn’t know what Lei Jin wanted to use it for. 

“Don’t frown, I’m fine.” Xiya’s fingertips tried to smooth Lei Jin’s brows.

Lei Jin tilted his head slightly to avoid him, and said, “Tch, what do I care about? Don’t be too narcissistic.”

“Okay, I’m narcissistic, then can I please trouble you with a smile?”

“I’m not here to sell smiles to you.” Lei Jin sighed heavily in his heart. Did this Xiya even have any nerves? He was so hurt yet he could still smile.

He could smile, but he couldn’t.

“Untie your belt and take off your pants.” Lei Jin stood up and said to Xiya.

“It’s a bit inconvenient here, isn’t it? Why don’t we talk about this when we go home, and I’ll show you alone?” Xiya knew that Lei Jin didn’t mean that way, but there were so many people here. It was still embarrassing to take off his pants in front of so many people.

“What are you thinking?” Lei Jin wanted to stretch out his hand countless times and strangle this person to death, thisbsourve of calamity.

There was still a distance between them and other people, and there were trees blocking the view as well. Others could see them, but they couldn’t see them fully. Lei Jin didn’t waste any more time with him. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he just squatted down, rolled up his sleeves, and gripped Xiya’s waistband with his hands.

“Hey, are you serious?” Xiya yelped, but he didn’t really move to stop him. Letting Lei Jin loosen his belt, and under the cover of his tunic, reach into his pants, and even grope into his shorts.

“What on earth are you going to do?” Xiya could no longer remain calm, and held Lei Jin’s arm to stop him from moving, because Lei Jin’s hand had already touched his member, and he couldn’t guarantee that he would not have a response.

Lei Jin also felt it, the hot object throbbing twice against the back of his hand.

“Keep him control, otherwise I don’t mind letting him be in rest mode for the rest of his life.” After gritting his teeth, Lei Jin warned in a low voice, and continued to move his hands, touching the approximate location of the artery at the root of Xiya’s thigh.

“Bend your leg slowly.”

Xiya followed his words down to the letter.

Lei Jin’s thumb began to press on one point, which was a necessary first aid measure to stop the bleeding, but the thing standing upright by his hand kept rubbing against him as he moved.

“Xiya.” Lei Jin scolded in a low voice.

“You also know that this kind of thing is not something you can control.” In particular, it had not just been a day or two since he longed for Lei Jin. How could he bear Lei Jin’s movements? Although the wound on his leg hurt, this put a damper on the reaction below at all.

Seeing that the blood on his leg hadn’t stopped, Lei Jin knew that his strength might not have been enough, so his other hand also slipped im, overlapping his two thumbs and pressing.

Lei Jin broke out in sweat, but he finally saw that the wound on Xiya’s leg had temporarily stopped bleeding.

Just as Lei Jin was about to pull out his hands.

His arms were clasped by a pair of hot and slightly humid hands, Lei Jin looked up in surprise, right at the undisguised strong desire in Xiya’s eyes, as if he wanted to swallow the person in front of him.

Sweat rolled down Lei Jin’s forehead, and the feeling was quite terrible.

“Help me.” There was a hint of pleading in Xiya’s raspy voice.

There was a flash of struggle in Lei Jin’s eyes, he didn’t want to have any extra relationship with Xiya, although the prideful Xiya actually opened his mouth to beg for it, but…..

“Help me this one time.” Sensing Lei Jin’s intention to refuse, Xiya tightened his grip.

Good brothers could help each other in this matter, Lei Jin found an excuse for himself. Under Xiya’s hopeful gaze, he held his member with both hands, which he had only just glanced briefly last time, and touched it with his own hands this time, and it really was a size that made any man envious.

Lei Jin’s hands were already beginning to feel sore, but Xiya was still as stiff and energetic as before, showing no intention of coming. Lei Jin reckoned that Ivey would be back soon, and thinking that no matter what, no one could see this scene. Seeing Xiya with his eyes closed, panting with his head leaning back against the tree trunk, a beauty was a beauty, no matter what state he was in. Lei Jin lowered his head and bit that Adam’s apple that was sliding up and down, Xiya trembled, and finally let out a sigh of relief, coming in Lei Jin’s hands.

Lei Jin frowned, and wiped his hands on Xiya’s blood-stained clothes. Before he could withdraw, Xiya grabbed his neck and kissed him deeply.

“I don’t seem to have come back at the right time.” Ivey’s joking voice drifted over.

Lei Jin pushed Xiya away, looked up and siddenly met the familiar dark green eyes of the person behind Ivey…..

These Werebeast Gongs Are Rogues

These Werebeast Gongs Are Rogues CH 047 Xiya Gets Injured

Leave a comment

TN: bonus chapter!💕

A few days have passed since that night. He couldn’t count how many times Moya did it, exhaustion and pleasure entwining together, he seemed to have dozed off towards the end, but Moya still didn’t let him go. Amidst the haze of pleasure and drowsiness, he seemed to hear Moya say such things as “selfish”, “take you away”, “but I can’t”, and so on. It was also heard intermittently. Both of them were clearly enjoying the pleasure physically, but at that moment he felt inexplicable pain in Moya’s voice. When he woke up the next day and saw Moya’s calm expression, Lei Jin even suspected those words were just his own hallucinations.

His body had always been in good shape. He had worked hard all the way from the bottom levels. Without a strong body as capital, he would not have succeeded. He used to have all-nighters and even changed bed partners in the middle but he was never tired out like this. He felt as if he was crushed back and forth twice by a car. It was numb below the waist, and walking was like stepping on a carpet of cotton balls. One could imagine the intensity of that night.

Xiya and the others were still erecting some stone pillars or whatever these days. Lei Jin started to make bows and arrows when he got better. He wanted to go hunting in the future, and be self-reliant without the need of others feeding him. Even if he left and no one was there to help him, he would have a weapon for self-defense. After all, he had seen that jungle before. He was lucky last time, but he couldn’t guarantee that it would be the same next time.

The werebeasts here usually hunt with bare hands and rarely use weapons. Naturally, there weren’t any at home. Strings were easy to find. There was a kind of sweet-scented osmanthus cattle meat that they ate here with tendons that could be used as strings. Lei Jin tried it, and it was very firm, elastic and flexible, so he only needed to find materials for making the bow body. Roger said that the horns of sweet-scented osmanthus cattle were of course the best, but their horns grow very slowly, only growing the length of a palm in ten years. If it was used to make a bow, it must be at least fifty years old which was rare. Moya promised to look for it next time when hunting. Lei Jin remembered that there was a large bamboo forest on the mountain, although bamboo was easy to break, but it was better than nothing. After eating, he took the stone ax and decided to go to the mountain to chop some bamboo, and just make do with it. He could think about the rest later.

Lei Jin chose some tougher bamboos, cut a few, split them open, and chose the suitable ones to bundle up with a rope. He caught two pheasants and hung them on the bamboo strips behind him. He then picked a bag of fruits and hugged them in his arms, ready to go downhill. He often ran around in the tribe these days, and many people were familiar with him so it was necessary to greet each other when meeting.

But today, as soon as he entered the tribe, he found that the atmosphere was not right. Lei Jin heard some yelling as if something had happened, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the shouts. Lei Jin was about to pull someone over for questioning when Ivey happened to run over while sweating profusely.

“Ivey.” Lei Jin called to stop him. Xiya hadn’t come home these days, and he heard that he had been staying with Ivey.

“Lei Jin?” Ivey didn’t seem to expect it to be him, but he also stopped and raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead.

“What happened in the tribe?” Lei Jin looked in the direction Ivey came from.

Ivey glanced at Lei Jin, thought for a while before saying: “The stone pillar behind the temple fell down and hit a lot of people. Xiya was also there. I’m going to see if the herbalist has gone over.”

“What? Is he alright?” Lei Jin was obviously taken aback. They couldn’t be lovers, but that didn’t mean that he wanted to see anything happen to Xiya.

“Go and see for yourself.” Ivey sighed, hesitant to speak.

Seeing the back of Lei Jin running off, Ivey smiled like a thief, and said to himself: “I didn’t say that anything happened to Xiya, I just said that he was there. Xiya, don’t say this brother did not help you out, it seems that you are not without a chance at all.” Don’t think that he didn’t know what was going on with Xiya staying over at his place, this Lei Jin obviously had the smell of another werebeast on him, and Xiya’s mood was clearly quite down. Just thinking about it with his toes, he could deduce that with Mingya still too young, the only werebeast it could be was Moya.

He was just hoping that they would make up quickly, and go home quickly. These days Xiya was here, Aki had become shy again, causing him to be unable to be intimate with his female.

“That’s right, herbalist, herbalist.” Almost forgetting the official business, Ivey patted his head, and quickly shifted into his beast form and flew away.

On this side, Lei Jin rushed to the back of the temple, which was like a stone forest, densely erected with hundreds of unusually thick stone pillars, each as thick as five or six werebeasts embracing them, with many patterns carved on the stone pillars. But this time Lei Jin didn’t have the heart to take a closer look, because he saw a pillar on the edge of the stone forest, and there was already a lot of blood beside it. The injured werebeasts had been helped to the side, and some were so seriously injured that no one dared to move tem. They were just waiting for the herbalist from the tribe to come.

Lei Jin searched around inside, but didn’t see Xiya, so he couldn’t help but start to worry that something serious happened to Xiya.

“Lei Jin, are you looking for Xiya?” Qi Luo supported Jia He, who was still bleeding from his shoulder, and sat down under the shade of a tree. Seeing Lei Jin mixed in with the crowd, seeming to be looking for someone, he called out to the other.

“Did you see him?” Lei Jin asked.

“I think I just saw him going inside.” Qi Luo pointed in the direction uncertainly.

“Thanks, Qi Luo.” Lei Jin followed the direction Qi Luo pointed to. The stone forest was very quiet. Lei Jin tried shouting twice, but no one answered. He noticed some blood stains and followed it, finally finding Xiya behind a stone pillar, sitting on the ground covered in blood.

“Xiya, are you alright?” Lei Jin felt his scalp tingling, don’t tell him that something had reaLly happened to him. He quickly ran over in two steps.

Xiya’s lips were bloodless, his eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes lowered over his eyes like little fans, casting a dense row of small shadows. He still remained silent when he heard Lei Jin’s voice.

Lei Jin felt his fingers tremble a little as he tentatively put them under Xiya’s nose.

“I’m still alive.” Xiya suddenly opened his eyes, his complexion was alright, but his violet eyes were bloodshot and full of exhaustion.

“Why didn’t you utter a word if you are alive?” Lei Jin let out the breath he had been holding in his chest just now, sat down next to Xiya, and said, “Big guy, do you know that people who scare people can scare people to death.”

“Are you sure you were looking for me?” Xiya’s eyes became colder. Just now, he didn’t notice the strong smell of blood on his body. But now that Lei Jin got close to him, he could smell it immediately. The scent of Moya on Lei Jin had become even stronger.

“Nonsense, didn’t you hear me calling your name just now?” It’s good that nothing happened. Lei Jin thought silently.

“I thought you were looking for Moya, he’s not here today.” Xiya wanted to stand up, but the wound on his leg had him furrowing his brows.

“I know he’s not here today.” Moya would let him know whenever he went out.

“I forgot, you guys share the same bed every day, so naturally you know where he is going today.” Xiya laughed at himself.

“Why are you talking sourly?”

“I don’t need you to worry about my affairs, thank you for coming to see me, but there’s no need, you should go home first.” Xiya smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.

“Xiya, do we have to be like this? We can’t just be good friends? I’ve always regarded you as a good brother.” Lei Jin brought up the elephant in the room for the first time.

“Good friend? Good brother? With my brother’s female?” Xiya asked.

“Me and Moya…..” How should he explain it? Saying that there was no relationship at all, but he did go to bed with Moya, saying that it was just a bed partner relationship, but the people here didn’t agree that this kind of relationship was a thing at all. He also didn’t want to define Moya in that position either.

Seeing him having trouble on what to say, Xiya dragged one leg while he supported himself on the pillar and stood up. He looked down at Lei Jin and said, “I understand, you don’t need to explain, and you don’t need to feel troubled, I will stay away from you in the future, and I won’t increase your burden.” Then he was about to leave.

“Wait, stay far away? Where are you going? Aren’t you going home now? Xiya.” Lei Jin put the bamboo slices and the fruit in his arms on the ground and stood up.

“Forget it, instead of going home just for the three of us to be embarrassed, why bother? Don’t worry, I have a place to stay.” Xiya started to comfort him instead.

“Don’t fool around, Xiya, you are injured, they will worry about you, you go home with me first, no, you sit down first, let me see the wound on your leg.” Lei Jin saw that his footsteps were unsteady and hurried forward to support him.

This Xiya was really difficult to deal with.

Xiya frowned, letting him support him, and asked, “Then will you worry about me too?”

“Everyone will be worried.” Lei Jin avoided the question and decided not to walk into his trap.

Xiya looked at the top of Lei Jin’s head, and the smile that just surfaced was quietly hidden in his eyes. Lei Jin, as long as you still care about me, I won’t let you go. You can only blame yourself. If you were more indifferent, maybe one day I will really give up.

Xiya staggered, and Lei Jin took a few steps back with him, and the two of them finally managed to stand firmly against the stone pillar.

“Your leg…..” Lei Jin raised his head to ask him.

Xiya suddenly leaned over and pressed down, first tentatively licking Lei Jin’s lips twice.

A look of surprise flashed in Lei Jin’s eyes, and he pushed him away with a hand.

“It hurts…..” Xiya inhaled sharply, his leg trembling a bit.

“Aren’t you looking for trouble?” Lei Jin rubbed his forehead, unable to quibble with a patient, and stretched out his hand to support him.

Xiya took advantage of the situation and pressed over, staring at Lei Jin’s lips with burning eyes.

“Can’t you behave…..”

This time it was no longer just a tentative probe, the tongue quickly entered from Lei Jin’s slightly opened mouth, and began to plunder possessively, without giving him the slightest chance to resist.

Lei Jin raised his hand, but thinking of Xiya’s wound, he put it down heavily, and clasped his fingers tightly on the stone pillar behind him.

“Enough, Xiya.” When Xiya’s lips moved to his neck, Lei Jin couldn’t help it anymore, stopping the other with a frown.

“Give me a chance too, Lei Jin, didn’t you also accept Moya?” Xiya’s fingertips stroked a purple hickey on Lei Jin’s neckline.

“You and Moya are different.”

“I’m not forcing you to make a decision now, as long as you remember this matter, I will wait.”

“It doesn’t matter how long you wait.”

 Xiya smiled, not intending to argue with him.

Lei Jin, sometimes as a person, you really can’t be too rigid.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Lei Jin let go of his hand, which was tightly clasped just now, and there was an imprint on the palm of his hand, dotting horizontally and vertically over his flesh, which seemed to be some words? Lei Jin turned around and looked at the patterns carved on the stone pillars. Some of them resembled words, which were more regular, and some resembled pictures, which were very abstract. The most important thing was that those scattered dots seemed to be a map of the starry sky, maybe? He had seen it in elementary school geography textbooks, but he couldn’t understand it. Something flashed through his mind. Where did he seem to have seen this picture? Where was it?
