Chapter 27: Robbery

Mu Lingluo had already thought of the rhetoric, and when she heard it, she explained: "I took the piece of black jade that my father left for me, although it looks inconspicuous, but the shopkeeper may see me pitiful, so he still gave it to me, so I just made do with the medicine, and I bought a green onion flatbread to eat with a few copper plates." ”

Mu Shilang listened, frowned, and hurriedly said: "Ah Luo, since it is rare for your father to leave something for you, how can you keep it as a thought, how can you just be like this." You should redeem it quickly, lest you turn back and you won't be able to get it back. ”

Everyone knows that piece of black jade, because it is not good-looking, and Song Yan protects it tightly, once Mu Liu's wanted to take it, she almost sprayed to death in front of Mu's house, Mu Feng stopped Mu Liu's, and this piece of black jade was saved.

Because of this, Mu Liu's family held a grudge against the second room, and let the big room and the third room be dead in the second room on weekdays.

Mu Shilang thought that Mu Lingluo had spent the money again, and said: "How much money have you earned, I'll count it, see if you have earned so much today, okay, big brother?" As he spoke, Mu Shilang shrunk his neck and asked Mu Dalang.

Mu Dalang thought of the mother of the family and the tigress mother-in-law, it was also very tight, and there seemed to be the fragrance of green onions in his mouth, but he was blocked by the wind for a while, and he couldn't say anything.

Mu Shilang retracted his eyes in disappointment, and only said in a low voice: "That, I still have a hundred dollars on me, or ......"

Mu Lingluo He couldn't see the difficulties of the two elders, but Mu Shilang's behavior still made her feel warm in her heart, compared to Mu Dalang, Mu Shilang was obviously more affectionate, even if he would suffer from Mu Liu's harsh criticism, he was still willing to help, instead of hesitating like Mu Dalang.

Thinking about it, Mu Lingluo waved his hand, "It's okay, Fourth Uncle, I'm in charge, I told the shopkeeper about the time to redeem things, and when I go back and make money, I will redeem it again." It's just the New Year, and I still don't take the family's money, and I haven't been rich recently. ”

When Mu Shilang heard this, he also knew that she was afraid of the head of the family and the sisters-in-law above, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The family is the mother's chairman, even if it is him, he has to give the money to the mother when he goes back. Ah Luo is a worry-free person, but her mother just can't look at Mu Lingluo's mother and daughter, where would she be willing to give money to buy medicine, thinking that the stone-like black jade she threw away must have been brought back from the army when the second brother returned home.

And as an elder, he can't take care of his niece for his second brother openly, so he feels uncomfortable and panicked.

Mu Dalang also felt guilty in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

Mu Lingluo looked left and right, and changed the topic: "In this cold day, if you can make this sweet potato hot, it will definitely be cold when you come out to buy things in winter or spring, and you will definitely be willing to spend a few copper plates to buy a big sweet potato to ward off the cold." ”

When Mu Dalang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Yes," he turned to the situation, shook his head and said: "But only people who live in this county town can get up early in the morning to do business, and it is definitely not possible for us to come all the way to make a fire and roast sweet potatoes." ”

Mu Lingluo thought of the small carts used to sell sweet potatoes that she saw when she was studying before, and she hurriedly said: "If you use it to make a wooden cart and put charcoal fire in it to roast, when you push it to the county seat, it will be almost roasted and ready to be sold." ”

"This is a good idea, but it costs at least one or two taels of silver to make this wooden cart, and charcoal also costs money, and the slightly better ones are a few copper plates a pound, so you can't make a few bucks. It's spring now, and the cold weather is short, so I can't sell it a few times. Mu Dalang thought about it and said.

This can be said to be a loss-making business, and it is better to plant the field honestly.

Mu Lingluo didn't think so, this business is not just for winter, this sweet potato is hungry and sweet, and the price is set a little lower, which can attract a large number of low-consumption groups.

"That's a good idea. The things in this city are expensive, we sell cheaper, and the people in the nearby villages must be hungry when they come to the market, so we only need to open the market once every time. Someone will definitely buy it. Mu Shilang thought about it seriously, but thought it was quite feasible.

This Anyu County has a market every three days, and it doesn't take much time each time, but it is a profitable job.

Mu Lingluo nodded, yes, her fourth uncle is quite business-minded, so he thought of going with her.

"However, my mother will definitely not be willing to pay a carpenter to make a cart." Mu Shilang sighed, and then praised Mu Lingluo: "Ah Luo didn't talk much before, but now he is cheerful and smarter!" ”

Mu Lingluo smiled and didn't say much. Also, now that the economic power is in the hands of grandma Mu Liu, even if they are tempted, I am afraid that Mu Liu will not be willing!

However, she didn't mean that she really wanted to do it.

Business was very good today, but everything was sold out by noon. Mu Dalang and Mu Shilang carried two empty baskets, rushed back with great joy, and when they went home, they even got on the ox cart.

It's just that they didn't have lunch in the city, and Mu Dalang and Mu Shilang both felt that it was too expensive, so they decided to go hungry and take an ox cart home to eat, which could save a lot of money.

Mu Lingluo was a little dizzy with hunger, but he could only nod his head in agreement.

There was a group of chattering women in the ox cart, and Mu Dalang and Mu Shilang sat next to each other on the side of the car, which was regarded as avoiding suspicion.

The ox cart walked to the woods outside the county, the branches were lush and green, and the birdsong was crisp and pleasant, and a shout of terrible scenery was heard:

"Stop, don't move, rob!!"

Mu Lingluo was stunned for a moment, and there were two men around the front of the ox cart, one of the men was short, stout and obscene, and the other man was tall and extremely vicious, and the two of them were carrying two machetes in their hands.

The women in the ox cart were discussing hotly, but they were all frightened at this time. Although they usually play arrogant in the village, they are also very afraid when they see this kind of bandits, and they all shrink into a ball.

"Who dares to move, the knife in Lao Tzu's hand doesn't recognize people, when the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, don't blame Lao Tzu for not reminding you in advance!" The big man slashed at the ox cart, and the machete slashed into the cart, shocking everyone.

The ox cart is driven by the old Liu of the village, his cow is an old cow, which is usually used to cultivate the land, and is used to pull the villagers to the market during the market, and can also make a lot of money. At this time, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, he was driven off the ox cart, and secretly shouted in his heart that he was unlucky, he had not met a robber for so many years, why was he so unlucky this time.

But he was busy saying: "Two good men, you have something to say...... Don't, don't move the knife! ”

"Then take out all the money on your body, and then let that beautiful girl serve comfortably, and the two of you will naturally let you go!" The short man smiled lewdly at Mu Lingluo, who had a beautiful face in the car.

His intentions are so obvious that everyone will not understand! If you lose your money, you can earn it again, but if you lose your life, you will have nothing. Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Mu Lingluo.

Seeing this, Mu Lingluo's face sank slightly.
