Chapter 223: Distress and Sorrow
Lao Mu's hanging heart fell to the ground, so he canceled his plan to go to the school to find Mu Zhen.
Looking up at Qingcheng Town, the figure of the street facing the road was clearly visible, Lao Mu did not plan to ride again, and wanted to hear what the two old men had to talk about, and he concluded that the hunchbacked old man must be the father of the beater.
Lao Mu thought, took two steps, and got closer to the distance between the two old men. However, Lao Mu was very disappointed, the old man had already found Lao Mu following him, and then he never talked about beating people again, which made Lao Mu very disappointed.
Lao Mu did not give up, still quietly followed, soon the three people have arrived at the Qingcheng market, although the flow of people in the market is not very much, but the people who are close to the early have already carried a large bag and a small bag, ready to go home, because they do not plan to go to school again, Lao Mu's time is relatively relaxed, worried about a long time, there are many people in the market, it is not very convenient to push the bicycle, so he plans to store the bicycle, Lao Mu checked left and right, want to find a place to store the bicycle, just as he looked, a young man came from the side of the road, his body was crooked, one hand happened to grab Lao Mu's front wheel, Lao Mu exclaimed: "Did you fall and get hurt?"
"Why are you pushing me?" the young man did not directly reply to Lao Mu's question, but instead snorted.
"Why did I push on you? You fell and fell on my wheels, but you wished me!"
The quarrel between the two, the two old men who were standing in front of them turned around and stared at Lao Mu, when Lao Mu was concentrating on arguing with the young man who fell, he saw the hunchbacked old man hurrying forward, grabbing the black hand of a middle-aged man behind Lao Mu who was reaching out to Lao Mu's pocket, Lao Mu turned his head suddenly, and the middle-aged man looked at each other, and then found that the two hundred-yuan bills in the pocket had been pulled out of a corner, Lao Mu's surprise was not trivial, and then looked back at the young man who grabbed the wheel, he had long since disappeared, the hunchbacked old man was hesitating, and the middle-aged man who was caught by him also quickly broke free of the hunchbacked old man's hand, ran a few steps, and staggered to the crowd in the market step by stepγ
This instantaneous change immediately made Lao Mu feel an indescribable gratitude to the hunchbacked old man, Lao Mu plugged in the bicycle, and said to the hunchbacked old man: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, you owe it to you, otherwise today's New Year's Fair is coming." β
"Nothing, you have to be careful, don't let them target you again, otherwise your money will really belong to them!"
"Dare to ask the old man's name?" asked Lao Mu respectfully.
Before the hunchbacked old man answered, the old man standing on the side and walking with him replied first: "He is a warm-hearted person in our ten miles and eight townships, surnamed Chang, you go to Dongzhen Village and ask the old man Chang directly, no one doesn't know!"
"Well, I'll definitely come to the door to say thank you!"
"No thanks, we also happened to run into each other, if not, we can't help if we want to. Old man Chang seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness just now, and hurriedly responded.
"Seeing that you are not an ordinary person, you must pay attention to the prevention of thieves, there are many people in the New Year's Fair, this is indispensable, be careful!" the companion standing beside the old man Chang comforted.
"That's, that's, aren't we inexperienced?" said Old Mu with a wry smile.
"Okay, okay, you're busy, let's go!" Old Man Chang turned his head and walked towards the market, Lao Mu looked at the backs of the two old men leaving, stood there and stunned, thinking about the scene just now and what the two old men said, and asked himself: "Can you help this thing in the end?"
After turning around in the market, Lao Mu prepared the New Year's goods he wanted to buy, saying that it was New Year's goods, in fact, they were all some green vegetables that must be eaten for the New Year, in addition, he brought up six more catties of snacks, which was out of budget before he came, but he had to prepare this dim sum, today's matter, if there is no help from the old man, I am afraid that these things will be difficult to buy, and I have to go to see what the situation is when the old man is down, and then decide how to decide?
