Chapter 967: Uncle Brother
Xiemadian is very quiet, just an ordinary town that can no longer be ordinary, perhaps because it is closer to the barracks, although it is quiet, there is always a tension and depression that cannot be dispersed in the middle of the town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The pedestrians on the road came and went in a hurry, even if they met a familiar friend to say hello, they were a little vigilant between their eyebrows, as if an enemy soldier would emerge from the mountains and forests beside the road in the next moment.
As soon as the morning dawned, Su Niang had already gotten up and started to clean up inside and outside the house, I don't know if it was intentional or what, when cleaning the backyard, there was a lot of movement, and the sound seemed to be using all the strength of the whole body.
The chai door creaked open, and Li Luo walked out of the room, neatly dressed, and it seemed that he didn't get up later than Su Niang.
Su Niang put away the broom, hugged the handle of the broom with both hands, and said with a grin: "Oh, it's so noisy that the son is sleeping, I'm sorry." Although he said this, there was no apology in his eyes.
Li Luo smiled faintly, bowed his head and said, "Su Niang got up early." ”
"It's not early, it's dawn." After speaking, he glanced into the firewood room, except for Li Luo, it seemed that there was no one in the firewood room.
Su Niang was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What about them?" ”
"They've gone out on something, and I'm the only one left here."
"Huh, so early?"
"It's too early or too late, since you're here, it's better to finish things early." Li Luo said in harmony.
Su Niang wrinkled her nose, although she didn't speak, but the meaning of her words was evident in Yan Biao, which was to mock Li Luo and these people for being greedy for money.
Suddenly, Su Niangjiao exclaimed: "No, you liar!" ”
Li Luo was stunned and asked blankly: "Liar? What do you mean by that? ”
Su Niang was like a frightened rabbit, she hurriedly took a few steps back, stared at Li Luo vigilantly, and said crisply: "You say that you are a businessman, but you didn't bring anything with you when you came here yesterday, how can you be a person who does business with Mengji, there must be some ulterior motive!" The voice was categorical, almost identical.
Li Luo smiled dumbly, he didn't expect this mountain village woman to be so cautious, it seems that if Li Luo can't solve the doubts in her heart, Su Niang will report to the official nine times out of ten.
At this moment, a childish voice came from the front yard, with a slightly sleepy appearance, and called in a milky voice: "Mother, who are you talking to?" ”
As soon as the voice fell, a child in the corner rubbed his eyes and walked over from the front yard, yawning again and again, as if he had not woken up yet.
Li Luo looked over when he heard the sound, it was a handsome boy, who seemed to be less than ten years old, with red lips and white teeth, which was pitiful.
Li Luo was stunned, he didn't expect such an ugly-looking woman to give birth to such a handsome son, which was indeed a bit unexpected.
The child glanced at his mother, saw Li Luo standing quietly in front of the firewood room, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Mother, who is he?" ”
Su Niang threw down the broom, grabbed the child, and held it tightly in her arms.
At this time, Su Niang is very much like a hen that protects her cubs, and Li Luo is a greedy weasel or a malicious eagle.
Li Luo smiled bitterly and was speechless, sighed and said, "Su Niang just didn't see it, why didn't we bring it?" Some of the goods are bigger, some are good to put in the arms, this road is not very peaceful, if we take the goods to swagger through the market, I am afraid that we will not be looted by the bandits if we can't get here. ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Didn't you see that I hadn't seen the world and lied to me by telling lies, right?" Su Niang is still a little relieved.
Li Luo shook his head and said, "What did I lie to you, it's true." ”
Su Niang snorted and wrinkled her nose again, such an action that should have been more ugly was placed on Su Niang's face, and there was an inexplicably sultry style.
Li Luo's heart moved slightly, smiled freely, and casually said a few small and easy things to bring, all of which are of great value, and bartering is the most appropriate.
However, these things are not seen by ordinary people, and they may not be heard in the border towns.
Sure enough, Su Niang showed a puzzled look, tilted her head and thought about it, as if she wanted to distinguish between truth and falsehood from Li Luo's expression.
Li Luo's expression was calm, and he didn't look like a thief.
Li Luo said these uncommon things, one is to justify himself, and the other is to test Su Niang, but it seems that Su Niang is indeed just an ordinary village woman, and she has never seen or heard what Li Luo said.
Su Niang didn't know whether it was true or not, but Li Luo's look also made Su Niang's heart gradually relaxed, of course, her mouth was still very tough: "Hmph, I think you made up lies casually." "But his expression has slowed down a lot.
Li Luo spread his hands and said, "I said Su Niang and I don't believe it, then I have no choice." ”
Su Niang rolled her eyes and asked, "What are they doing out?" ”
"They've gone to find the Mongse merchants."
"It's a lie again, where can I find a Mongolian merchant?"
"Haha, what's so strange about this, snakes have snake roads, rats have rat roads, Beifu business roads naturally can't be put on the bright side, Su Niang must have been here for a long time, and the reason for this is that you should know without me saying it. As for where they go, please forgive me for not telling you. Li Luo chuckled.
Su Niang pursed her lips and said angrily: "Who rarely knows about you things, hum." Mo'er, go wash your face, my mother will cook for you. ”
"Oh." The child who called Mo'er answered, looked at his mother curiously, and then looked at Li Luo.
Su Niang's face turned red, pushed the child, and said coquettishly: "What do you see, he is a passer-by who is staying in our house, and he will leave in a few days." ”
Mo'er nodded, nodded her little head at Li Luo obediently, and called uncle.
Li Luo was stunned, touched the tip of his nose, and sighed with emotion, a few years ago, he was also a lawless child in the eyes of others, but he didn't expect that someone would call him uncle today.
"Call my brother." Su Niang corrected.
Li Luo couldn't help laughing, but he didn't get annoyed, he didn't expect this Su Niang to have such a small heart, sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and she wanted to take advantage of her mouth.
Su Niang glared at Li Luo, straightened up, and looked like what can you do to me.
Li Luo shook his head, smiled warmly, and didn't take it to heart.
Mo'er went to the front yard, and Su Niang picked up the broom and swept the yard again.
Li Luo leaned on the door of the firewood room, clasped his arms in front of his chest, and looked at Su Niang with interest.
Perhaps it was Li Luo's refreshed appearance that annoyed Su Niang, who deliberately swept all the dust in the yard towards Li Luo, and for a while the sand and rocks were flying, so it was not lively.
