CH 045 CHUNJI’S MEDICINE

TN: bonus chapter

A small red-haired head peeped in through the door, saw the people in the yard and smiled sweetly before jumping, “Uncle Roger, have you finished your meal?”

“It’s Mura, come in, have you had breakfast?” Roger waved to him.

“Yes I already ate, Uncle Roger, I want to take Lei Jin out for a walk.” Mura rubbed his fingers and stood beside Lei Jin who was drinking water on the stone bench.

“Me?” Lei Jin was quite surprised. Although he had met this Mura a few times, and could be considered to be familiar with him. Mura’s temperament was lively, like a child, and he didn’t have much scheming in his heart. He didn’t mind coaxing him and yielding to him most of the time. But go out for a walk together? There seemed to be nothing to say between the two, right? But seeing Mura winking at him secretly, it was clear that he had something to say to him.

“No werebeasts allowed.” Before Xiya opened his mouth, Mura, who had sharp eyes, immediately puffed out his cheeks.

“What’s the mystery?” Roger asked tentatively when he saw that he was hiding something.

“Uncle Roger, you must believe me, there’s really nothing, I just want to take Lei Jin out for a walk.” Mura was a spoiled female, he was also young, so he was best at acting childishly and coquettishly. He grabbed Roger’s arm and swung it back and forth, and even Roger couldn’t refuse.

“Lei Jin, what do you think?” Roger turned to ask him. 

“I don’t care, it’s fine.” Lei Jin stood up. Anyway, there was nothing to do these days, so he might as well go and see what medicines were being sold in Mura’s gourd. (TN: expression for what sb’s up to)

“Then let’s go, Lei Jin.” Seeing Lei Jin’s agreement, Mura grinned wider, revealing the two little front rabbit teeth that he usually tried to hide from people’s sight.

“Mingya is also not allowed to go.” Mura decisively closed the door, and locked Mingya who was consciously trying to follow with his tail wagging.

“Then this young master will follow.” Before the door was closed tightly, the little fox slipped out against the crack of the door. The little fox who said that he would leave after the rain stopped now seemed to have decided to build a nest here. He was very conscious that living here meant a life of meat and soup to eat. Recently, he seemed to have gained a lot of weight, that once he tucked his head in, he would appear like a small furry meatball.

“He’s still a child,” Lei Jin said. To be honest, it was really hard for him to see Mingya as a male werebeast. Seeing his pitiful look, he couldn’t help but speak for him.

“You can’t always spoil him. He is a male werebeast, and it is only right that he must spoil you in the future.” Mura grew up in the tribe since he was a child, and the farthest distance he had been was to the woods on the back hills. He was very familiar with these roads in the tribe. At this moment, he was walking backwards with his arms behind his head, yet he could still talk to Lei Jin without any hindrance.

Lei Jin was too lazy to explain the fact that he was going to leave sooner or later. Even if he took 10,000 steps back and he really couldn’t leave, he was not a female here, and he had no self-consciousness to be spoiled.

“Let’s talk about this later.” Lei Jin could only respond vaguely.

It didn’t seem to be an illusion, and everyone he met along the way, be it a werebeast or a female, would greet him with a smile.

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Mura snickered and said: “Lei Jin, you are very popular in the tribe now, if it wasn’t for Brother Xiya and the others staking their claim already, there will definitely be a lot of werebeasts challenging Brother Xiya and the others.”

Lei Jin retracted his gaze from the roadside and glanced in annoyance at Mura, who was trying hard to hold back his smile. Please don’t, he was not pork that had to wait for someone to grab it.

“Lei Jin, this way.” When they reached the entrance of a small alley, Mura suddenly stopped. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he pulled Lei Jin into the small alley. There were dense branches and leaves, and there was little sunlight inside, which made it seem a bit dim. After his eyes got used to it, he saw that there were several households in this alley. Among them, there was one house with the walls of its courtyard covered with green vines and big red flowers, looking very conspicuous indeed.

Mura was obviously a frequent visitor. He pushed the door open and entered a small corridor built of wood. Red flowers bloomed on it as well.

Lei Jin followed behind him, and before they even reached the door of the house, he heard intermittent moans coming from the east corner of the house. Although the owner of the voice was trying his best to suppress it, because they were too close, it still floated into the ears of the two without a miss.

Mura was a female who had not held a marriage ceremony yet. Although he had come across this several times and knew what was going on, he was still too shy to look, and his face flushed. He stepped back, lowered his head and shouted: “Chunji, I’m here. Lei Jin is here too.”

The flowers and trees in the small yard were sparse, and did not obstruct Lei Jin’s sight. Before Mura even called out, he had already seen Chunji’s figure. He was indeed a beauty. One could tell just by looking at his back. It was a pity to have missed out last time. Now, at this time, Chunji was ‘fighting’ with a werebeast on the grass in the corner. Chunji was naked, sitting astride a werebeast. The werebeast below was wearing clothes. From Lei Jin’s point of view, he could only see a pair of big brown hands supporting Chunji’s waist, while Chunji had his head thrown back groaning, his body heaving up and down in the werebeast’s arms. The place where the two met was clearly visible, the grass had been stained with some suspicious white liquid, and it seemed that the two had been at it for some time.

“Lei Jin, let’s go out and wait for him first.” Mura’s head was so low that it was almost buried in the ground, pulling at the corner of Lei Jin’s clothes.

“No need, they’re almost over.” Lei Jin could be called extroverted and casual when one said it nicely, but in fact he was just without any awareness. He pulled two benches over, handed one to Mura, and sat down on the west side of the corridor.

With the corridor of blooming flowers as an obstacle nothing could be seen, so Mura sat down with more ease.

“How do you know?” Although a little shy, Mura asked in a low voice curiously.

“I guessed.” Lei Jin knew that he couldn’t say that he saw that the frequency of the werebeast’s thrusting had increased, and it was estimated that he was going to come soon. This would give a bad influence to an innocent little white rabbit, and he would feel guilty.

For once, Lei Jin also knew the existence of guilt.

Sure enough, the sound of the werebeast roaring came soon after.

Mura moved uneasily on the bench twice, and when he saw that Lei Jin was no different, he calmed down a little.

“Uh, Lei Jin, I brought you here today, but I really didn’t expect to encounter such a thing.” Mura came here before, although he had encountered this kind of situation before, it was always later in the day. He didn’t expect it to happen when it was still bright out. If Lei Jin went back and told Uncle Roger and the others, Uncle Roger would definitely be angry with him. He wasn’t even afraid of his own parents, but when Uncle Roger was angry, he never hit or yelled at people. He would just stare at you with cold eyes, and he felt cold just thinking about that icy gaze.

“I know, I won’t say anything when I go back.” The child’s thoughts were written on his face, and he knew what was going on at a glance.

“Thank you, Lei Jin. I went to get some bird eggs last time, I’ll give them to you when we go back.” Mura liked to eat bird eggs, and thinking that all the females in the world like to eat them as well, he would always take them out whenever he wanted to please people.

Lei Jin smiled nonchalantly. He saw that Chunji’s trousers were already put on, and his top was just casually draped, with the front wide open, the marks on his body not concealed at all. Chunji just came over like this casually, and leaned lazily on the wooden corridor, his voice holding a trace of languidness after an affair: “I haven’t seen you for a few days, how are you doing?”

Lei Jin could guarantee that this Chunji was definitely intentional. He should have known what happened that night. From his point of view, he should have seen who it was.

“What? Did the novice make you uncomfortable?” A smile flashed in Chunji’s long and narrow phoenix eyes, saying something that only the two would understand.

“It’s alright, it’s more fulfilling to teach the skills myself.” How could Lei Jin be so easily pinched.

Chunji laughed out loud and said, “I really didn’t read you wrong, you are really different.”

“What are the two of you talking about?” Mura looked at this one and then at that one, not understanding at all.

“Oh, this, I will teach you later, you will know later.” Chunji rubbed Mura’s head perfunctorily.

“Why do you want to see me?” Seeing him appear, this Chunji was not surprised at all, and with Mura’s mysterious behavior in front of him, it was not difficult to guess that it was Chunji’s idea to let him come this time.

“I have something good for you, you two come in with me.” Chunji hooked his fingers at the two of them and turned around first.

Mura excitedly whispered to Lei Jin: “Chunji is the most powerful herbalist in our tribe, his medicine is amazing, but Chunji doesn’t like giving it to people. For once he is willing to give his medicine away to you. So I pulled you here right away, he really likes you.”

Like? Lei Jin was not sure, but he vaguely felt that it was true that this Chunji seemed to have an inexplicable interest in him, although he did not know where the interest came from.

After entering the main room, the three of them did not stop, and continued walking towards the innermost room. After pulling up a heavy curtain, the strong smell of herbs wafted out.

The room was a little dim, with only a few rays of light coming in from the small windows on the north wall. There were many wooden shelves in the room, filled with bottles and jars.

Chunji stepped on the stool, picked a small bottle from the top of the shelf in the north and handed it to Lei Jin, smiling: “This is a good thing, use it sparingly.”

It had a smooth and cooling touch, and Lei Jin examined it under a ray of light. It turned out to be a transparent crystal bottle with some green liquid that appeared very pure and clean.

“What is this?” Lei Jin wondered why Chunji suddenly gave him this.

“This is what I extracted from jade mugwort. It is more than a hundred times better than the paste they make. Their crude method is really a waste of good things. If you don’t believe it, go back and try it tonight, I guarantee that after you have a round with all three of them tonight, it won’t be uncomfortable down there at all.” While Mura was still looking around curiously, Chunji whispered in Lei Jin’s ear, and took the opportunity to lick his ear.

“Stay away.” Lei Jin didn’t fall for him now, he raised his hand and pushed him away.

“You’re really crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.” Chunji licked the corner of his lips and tsked.

“What are you two doing?” Mura turned around and saw that the two were standing face to face.

“Little Mura, you haven’t come here recently, don’t you miss me?” Chunji smiled seductively at Lei Jin, and went out first with an arm hooked over Mura’s neck.

Lei Jin spread out his hand and looked at the crystal bottle lying in his palm. Since it was a good thing, it didn’t matter if he used it or not, he would just accept it first.

The three chatted for a while in the yard, and Chunji made herbal tea to entertain them.

The two visitors saw that the time was almost up, so they got up and said their goodbyes. Chunji sat crookedly on the chair and waved his hand lazily, not planning to get up to see them out. Lei Jin and Mura didn’t care either.

Chunji felt that his lower half was a little wet, and then he remembered that he was in a hurry to come out to see the two of them just now, and he had not cleaned up yet. Seeing the back of Lei Jin and Mura leaving together, he murmured: “Lei Jin, if I’m right, you’re not from this world as well, are you? Just like that Roger.”

Lei Jin and Mura were walking on the street, and Mura insisted on taking Lei Jin to his house to get some bird eggs. But just at the intersection, they met Moya who was planning to go home, so Mura left by himself.

“Where did you go today?” Moya asked casually.

“Chunji’s place.” Lei Jin didn’t hide it from him, he just wanted to see how Moya would react.

“Oh, Chunji, he’s a very good herbalist.” Very good, very calm, almost no response.

“But why do I always hear that he’s not good.” This Moya’s attitude was very strange.

“Everyone has their own way of life, as long as they feel good, and they don’t endanger others then it’s fine.”

“You are very enlightened.”

“I’m alright. By the way, what did you do at Chunji’s place?” Moya accepted Lei Jin’s compliment unceremoniously. From this point of view, he was worthy of being in Lei Jin’s family.

“He gave me a bottle of medicine.” This matter could not be concealed from Moya. The two of them ate and lived together and even shared the same bed and pillows. How could something be hidden from the other. Moya took it over, opened the bottle and smelled it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“What are you smiling at?” Lei Jin snatched it away, didn’t Chunji say that he never gave this to others? So it stood to reason that Moya shouldn’t know what this was, right? Probably?

“How about going back and trying it tonight?” Moya whispered.

“What did you say?” Lei Jin looked up at him, trying to find traces of a joke on Moya’s face.

“The smell of jade mugwort, isn’t it?” Moya nodded at the bottle in his hand.
