Chapter 241: The Boy Who Sold Wolf Skins
Mu Yunqiao was very disappointed, because when she arrived in the valley where she was separated from Brother Bao, nothing had changed there. There are weeds everywhere, and most of the land around us, where crops used to be grown, is now mostly deserted.
Looking at all this, Mu Yunqiao was very disappointed, because this not only showed that few people came here, but also that Brother Bao and they had not been here in recent years, which was the most disappointing and sad thing for her. Because this also shows that Brother Bao and they have completely forgotten about her as a big brother.
"Alright, let's go back!" Seeing Mu Yunqiao so disappointed, Ming Tao didn't know how to comfort her, he just hoped that after they left here, Mu Yunqiao would be happy.
"Hmm!" Looking around without any clues, Mu Yunqiao could only nod in frustration. It's just that when she wanted to look around, she found that there was a small mound of dirt where they baked potatoes back then. There was some paper money pressed on the mound. I didn't expect that there were still people's graves here, thinking of this, Mu Yunqiao couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was only when she looked closely at the tombstone carved out of a piece of wood in front of the tomb that her heart became excited again. She walked up to the tombstone, crouched there, reached out and stroked the tombstone, and tears couldn't stop flowing from her eyes.
"The tomb of Big Brother Mu! Brother Mu Yunbao, Mu Yuntian, sister Mu Yunyali! The words are crooked, and if you don't make them carefully, you can't tell what is written on them. But looking at these words, Mu Yunqiao was excited. And this tombstone is also some years old, which shows that the three children were really fine back then, and later learned to write, and actually came back here to make a well-dressed mound for her!
"This ......" Looking at these, Mu Yunqiao was almost speechless with excitement. Just pointed to all this and let Ming Tao see.
"They're all good boys. It seems that they have not forgotten you either. Ming Tao squatted down and looked at the tombstone with Mu Yunqiao and said.
"Hmmm! They've always been good boys. Looking back at Ming Tao, Mu Yunqiao said with a smile. She took out the dagger she carried with her and carefully carved the word Yunqiao in the vacancy under the word Mu. No matter when Mu Yuntian could see it, she hoped that they could go to her with this name.
Looking at the tombstone with the name engraved, Mu Yunqiao waited near here for a long time without anyone coming, and then left with Ming Tao. I don't know where Brother Bao and they are now, even if I know that they are nearby, it's useless. They simply don't have time to look for them in the neighborhood all the time. But knowing that they were alive and doing well, she was relieved.
"That's a lot of fur!" Flying to the wall, Mu Jie'er was surprised when she saw a large piece of fur in the crowd, how many animals had to be killed to have so much fur! However, these furs are all the same color, and they should be from an animal. I don't know if these animals have provoked these fur sellers, so many animals have been killed, but I am afraid that all the animals in the vicinity have been killed. Thinking of this, Mu Jie'er couldn't help but want to see who killed so many animals. She had to teach that guy a good lesson and let him know that he had to take care of the animals. It was only when she saw the scene that it diverted her attention again.
"Eldest sister, it's so much fuss with such a little fur, I don't know where I think you came from!" He also jumped to Mu Jie'er's side, and said with disdain as he looked at the situation below.
"You ......" Mu Jie'er was about to argue with Mingming, when the furry man raised his head, she suddenly stopped talking. Instead, he looked at the young man below in surprise.
I saw that he had a pair of big bright eyes, and when those eyes looked at her, she felt her heart beat a little faster, and she didn't care about anything else.
However, the young man only glanced at Mu Jie'er and continued to deal with the business in hand.
"Brother Bao, today you took out so many wolf skins to sell, I'm afraid that all the wolves in this vicinity will be killed by you!" One of them, a middle-aged man dressed in satin, asked as he chose his favorite wolf skin.
This teenager had taken out a lot of wolf skins to sell on every big day three years ago, and they were surprised at the beginning to now be surprised.
"It's nothing, it's just that I just happened to meet these wolves." Brother Bao said while collecting the money. Of course, he wouldn't say that these wolves ate his eldest brother back then, so he deliberately killed these wolves. If it weren't for wanting to give his sister more dowry money, he wouldn't have bothered to take out these wolf skins and sell them.
Speaking of his sister Yaya, she is eighteen years old this year, and there is no one yet, so he can't help but worry about her. I can only prepare as much money as possible, not only for my sister as a dowry, but also for the money I prepare to marry my daughter-in-law every day. As for himself, he didn't want to get married, so he wanted to wait for his younger brothers and sisters to get married, and then go to Yanjing City to join General Mu and become a soldier to fulfill his promise to his eldest brother back then. Naturally, he can't be sorry for the name that his eldest brother gave him, Mu Yunbao! "Bao" to protect the family and defend the country!
"But thank you so much, not only have there been so many cheap skins to buy over the years, but in recent years, everyone has felt much more at ease when going out, because we don't have to be afraid of encountering wolves again." The other man said with the same smile.
Merchants like them who travel all over the world are most afraid of encountering hordes of wolves, as long as they do, they are lucky to lose their goods and money, and unfortunately they will lose their lives. However, in recent years, they have never encountered a wolf pack in the vicinity, and even if they occasionally encounter one or two lone wild wolves, they will run away when they see people, and they dare not attack humans at all. So the businessmen walking around the neighborhood were grateful for the young man in front of them. Naturally, many merchants would buy his wolf skins on the day of the big gathering.
"Huh...... This big brother, you have a total of three wolf skins, a total of fifteen taels of silver. Mu Yunbao smiled and said to the man absently. He was not used to being complimented, and although he heard many of these words every month, he still did not know how to respond to these enthusiastic people.
"By the way, does Brother Bao have a daughter-in-law? If not, the uncle has a daughter who is about the same age as you, how about you be the uncle's son-in-law? The rich middle-aged man who had just spoken, holding the five wolf skins he had selected, asked with a smile.
Brother Bao is not only good-looking, but also good at kung fu, just with his wolf-killing skills, he will be a hunter, and his daughter will not suffer if he follows him.
"Big brother, we're back!" Just when Mu Yunbao didn't know how to answer, a sweet female voice came from outside the crowd. Hearing this female voice, all the people who bought things automatically gave way to a small path.
I saw a beautiful woman with a sweet smile walking up to Brother Bao, taking out a handkerchief to carefully wipe the sweat from his forehead, and taking out a gourd and handing it to Brother Bao's mouth to give him water.
"What did Yaya buy today? Let me see. After drinking the water, Brother Bao asked the beautiful woman in front of him while collecting the money.
"Girls' stuff, can't look at it." I saw that the beautiful woman called Yaya blushed and said shyly.
"Big brother, how is business today? How many wolf skins have not been sold? A young man walked up to Brother Bao, looked at the wolf skin in front of him and asked. After selling this batch of wolf skins, I am afraid that they will have to rest for a while, otherwise the wolves in this vicinity will really become extinct. Although he didn't think those wolves were of any use, Master and Grandpa asked them to keep some wolves, and they naturally complied.
Mu Jie'er looked at the three brothers and sisters in front of her, she was very unhappy, and she couldn't tell why she was unhappy, but she was just uncomfortable. Especially when the girl wiped her sweat and fed the water to that brother just now, she was very unhappy.
"I said Brother Bao, this matter is not okay, you can give a word!" The merchant who spoke just now couldn't wait for Brother Bao to answer, and couldn't help but ask eagerly.
"I said brother, if you want to say kiss, find a matchmaker to propose marriage, what is it here? We are all waiting for Brother Bao to settle the score! But Brother Bao, you really don't have a daughter-in-law? There are no uncles, and there are two daughters at home......" Another merchant uncle asked Brother Xiang Bao with a few wolf skins in his hand.
"You Zhao Laohan, you also rob me, don't you?" The rich uncle who had just opened his mouth said unconvinced.
"What's wrong with me? Do you have a daughter? I also have it in my family, and it just so happens that these two brothers are one by one, and they are both my aunts. ”
"Don't quarrel, my brother is already married." glared at the two arguing uncles, and looked at the crowd around them who were listening to the news with their ears pricked up, and the little beautiful girl suddenly shouted loudly. As for how the daughters of these families are worthy of her two brothers, even if they don't see anyone, she doesn't agree.
"Really?" The first uncle to ask heard Yaya's words, and asked Brother Bao suspiciously. Expecting him to shake his head in denial. He is really optimistic about this young man, but it seems that his daughter does not have this blessing.
"Hmm!" Brother Bao nodded without hesitation. Since he doesn't plan to get married, he naturally wants them to die as soon as possible. What does it matter if his answer is true or false?
Seeing Brother Bao nodding, many people were a little disappointed, and they quickly chose the wolf skin they wanted to buy, paid and left. Soon all the wolf skins were sold out, the crowd dispersed, and Brother Bao and Tian Tianya packed their things together and prepared to leave.
It's just that just when they wanted to leave, there was suddenly another person in front of them, a man they knew at a glance that he was not a simple person, and he was accompanied by a couple and several children.
"How many want wolf skins? I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while. Putting away the money bag, Brother Bao said to Mu Yunfeng.
"I'm not here to buy wolf skins, I'm just here to ask you something." Seeing the calm and calm appearance of the three teenagers in front of him, Mu Yunfeng couldn't help but feel a heart of love for talent, as long as they were willing to join the army, he promised that they would achieve something extraordinary.
"What's the matter? You're not here to propose to your daughter, are you? Looking at Mu Yunfeng, Yaya asked in an unhappy tone. Even if this man was very powerful at first glance, she still couldn't help but say. She is so obvious, there are still so many people who want to say goodbye to the eldest brother, no, the eldest brother is hers, and she won't let the eldest brother marry anyone else.
"You have to take care of it! Aren't you his sister? Your brother wants to marry a daughter-in-law, and you can't approve it. Mu Jie'er, who was standing on the side, pouted and said unconvinced. She had been standing here quietly, who asked her to talk about her.
"You? Who are you? Looking at the little girl in front of her who looked and dressed above her, the girl asked.
"He's my father, I'm his only daughter, who do you say I am?" Also sticking in her waist and looking at Yaya with wide eyes, Mu Jie'er said unconvinced.
