Chapter 88: The Face Mask (2)
The handsome appearance of the young owner of Sword Spirit Villa is almost a household name in Qiling, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, and to avoid the disaster of killing, the sooner Yu Xi Yancheng's face is covered, the better.
I saw Uncle Nian pause, as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he gestured again, "uh-uh" made a sound.
"He's asking if you need it today?"
Xu Huange nodded.
Uncle Nian frowned and said, "Uh-uh-"
He said that he wanted to make a human face mask in a day, but he did have a semi-finished product on hand, which needed to be reprocessed before he could use it. β
"That's great! Where's the semi-finished product?"
"Uh-uh-"
He said that the semi-finished products are at home, and everyone can wait here, and when they are finished, they will be delivered here before dark. β
Xu Huange turned his head to look at everyone and asked in a low voice, "Then we are waiting here?"
Liu Qingquan raised his eyes and looked at Uncle Nian, and suggested, "To be on the safe side, let's go back with him." β
Also, if he suddenly regrets not doing it, he is afraid that he will not be able to find anyone if he runs away.
So, Xu Huange turned to Uncle Nian and smiled: "We want to go back with you, we can take it directly after you are done, there is no need to trouble you to run back and forth, can you see it?"
Uncle Nian paused after hearing this, and then made a "uh-uh" sound.
He said that his family was relatively small, and he was afraid that he would not be able to accommodate so many people. β
Xu Huange turned his eyes to look at everyone and said, "Then I'll go back with Uncle Nian alone, you go to the market to buy some clothes first, we will split into two roads, and then we will meet directly at the inn?"
Lin Chuyi raised his eyes and looked at Uncle Nian, and said, "I'll go with you." β
Xu Huange smiled and said, "No, are you still afraid that something will happen to me?"
"No, this Uncle Nian looks mysterious, and it feels a little strange. β
"Then I'll accompany Brother Huange, you can go to other places in the market to pick out a few clothes for the young owner, Senior Brother Qingquan, these two girls will trouble you to accompany you." Ye Mu Jin raised her eyebrows.
Liu Qingquan nodded.
"Then be careful!"
Xu Huange pointed at Ye Mujin and Uncle Nian in a blink of an eye and said, "Is it okay for me to go back with you with him?"
Uncle Nian nodded.
"You're going back with him?" the boss asked suddenly.
"That's right, the boss is also with us, right? Without you, we don't understand what Uncle Nian said. Ye Mu Jin smiled.
The boss rolled his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen Xun'er's child." β
So, Ye Mujin hired a carriage outside, and after the two said goodbye to Liu Qingquan and the other three, they waited outside for the shopkeeper and Uncle Nian.
"Boss, Uncle Nian, the carriage is ready, come out quickly!"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
I saw the boss come out with a box, but Uncle Nian kept pushing and pulling beside him, "uh-uh-uh" non-stop.
"Alas, I brought this to Xun'er, what are you calling it here?"
Xu Huange and Ye Mu Jin knew each other at a glance, it seems that the relationship between the boss and Uncle Nian is very good, and there should be no tricks.
"Uh-uh-"
"Alright, let's go!"
The boss quickly put the things he was bringing into the carriage and carried a cart of four people on the road.
I saw the carriage go around the bustling streets and stop at the mouth of a particularly crowded alley.
Although I had long expected that Uncle Nian's family was poor, and I thought that it would be as simple as the fortune teller I met before, but when I really saw it, it was different from what everyone thought.
The layout inside is a large and small settlement, many people gather in a very small house, the voices of people are noisy, there are piles of debris everywhere, and there are bursts of stench during the period.
The boss looked at everyone's surprised expressions and explained: "There are a lot of people living here who work as hard as Uncle Nian, so it's relatively simple to live, don't be surprised......
"Oh, it's okay...... It's very popular. Xu Huange said with a smile.
I saw an aunt in front of me holding a basin in her hand, and when she saw Uncle Nian leading a large group of people back, she was a little surprised, and said, "Uncle Nian, why are you back at this time?" Then he stretched out his head to look at Xu Huange and Ye Mujin, and asked, "Who are these people?"
"Uh-uh-" Uncle Nian gestured.
"Oh, then go back quickly, Xun'er is still obediently staying in the house. β
Xu Huange turned his head and asked the boss, "Everyone here knows what Uncle Nian is talking about?"
"yes, we've been living together for four or five years. β
"Boss, how long have you known Uncle Nian?"
"It's been seven or eight years, when he first moved here, he was holding a weak and sick child, it was really pitiful, we all thought that the child didn't live long, the child who had just been full of moon grew thin and small, and he had a high fever, crying non-stop, I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Xun'er This child was also raised so big, we arrived. β
Uncle Nian pushed open the door, this room was really as he said, it was very small, and there were all kinds of miscellaneous things piled up in it, and after the four of them entered, there was really no extra space.
And in the back room, there was a small bed, which was covered by a curtain, and a person could be faintly seen lying on it.
"Ahem, is my father back?" a boy's voice came from the back room.
"Uh-uh-"
Uncle Nian opened the curtains and walked in.
A thin boy with a delicate face was lying on the bed, looking like he was four or five years old, which should be what everyone calls Xun'er.
"Uncle Yu is also here. Xun'er got up from the bed with a smile, saw Xu Huange and Ye Mujin behind her, and asked with a wink, "Who are these two uncles?"
"Uh-uh-"
"They are my guests, come and sit by the way, you don't have to care, you look at Xun'er, I have brought you a lot of delicious food, you see. β
"Thank you, Uncle Yu. Xun'er smiled and took the food handed by the boss, and immediately took a bite and said, "It's so fragrant and delicious!"
He is a delicate and cute little boy.
Uncle Nian took out a face mask from the cabinet, and then gestured with his hand: "Uh-uh-"
He said it was a semi-finished product. β
Xu Huange took the face mask in his hand and looked at it, it was a man's appearance, it felt similar to a human face to the touch, and the workmanship was fine, he gestured towards his face and said, "This workmanship looks pretty good, you can use it." β
"Uh-h
He said it needed to be reworked and polished. β
Uncle Nian picked up the face mask and walked towards a dark room full of groceries next to him.
Xu Huange and Ye Mujin couldn't help but follow in, Uncle Nian lit an oil lamp, shook the dust on the table, and a thick dust flew all over the sky, this place really looked like no one had been here for a long time.
Uncle Nian wiped down an old machine on the table, and next to it were some knives and small iron rods used for grooming, as well as a small sewing box. I saw Uncle Nian pick up the face mask in his hand and quickly began to polish it, and his movements looked very skillful.
There was a sound of "pop bang bang" polishing in his ears, and looking at Uncle Nian's serious polishing, Ye Mujin and Xu Huange retreated from the house.
"Hahaha, Uncle Yu, look at this is so cute. There was a hearty laugh from inside the house.
I saw Uncle Yu holding a small picture book and putting it at the head of Xun'er's bed, and the child picked up the small picture book, pointing to the patterns inside while eating, and asked questions, which was very cute.
Ye Mujin couldn't help but bump Xu Huange's arm with her arm, raised her eyebrows and said, "You said that this child was born to Uncle Nian, why doesn't he look like it at all?"
"Well, it's not like ......" Xu Huange looked at the little boy's smiling eyebrows and eyes, and said thoughtfully.
"It's just that there are children who really don't look like their parents, if the recessive gene is prominent......
For example, Xu Huan himself doesn't look very similar to his parents when he blinks, but after a closer look, he found that he seems to be similar. But it's really biological.
"What do you mean?" said Sumire in confusion.
"Well, no, no, you, it's starting again, it's someone else's family affair, and it has nothing to do with us. β
"Ahemβ" The little boy coughed again.
"Okay, okay, don't look at it, let's rest first!" the boss helped the little boy to lie down, and the little boy nestled obediently on the bed, smiling all the time.
The boss gently closed the door, and couldn't help muttering: "Alas, how can such a well-behaved child be infected with such a disease, alas......"
"Boss, what kind of illness does this kid have!" Ye Mu Sumire couldn't help but ask.
"Alas, I heard that it was a premature baby, and the lung organs did not grow well, and it was like this when I first brought it back. β
"Take it back?" Ye Mu Jin raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Huange.
"Xun'er wasn't born to Uncle Nian?"
"Shhh-" The boss pulled Ye Mujin aside and said softly: "Of course not, I've known him for so many years, he has been delivering goods to me, and I haven't seen him ask for any daughter-in-law." β
"And where did this kid come from?"
"I heard him say that he picked it up on the side of the road, and I heard from his neighbors that it seemed like he moved here one winter five years ago with a child in his hand, and then his mouth couldn't speak, as if half of his tongue had been cut. β
"Uncle Nian was able to speak before?"
"Yes, I saw that he spoke very neatly a few years ago, and suddenly one day he came to deliver the goods and couldn't speak. β
Ye Mu Jin and Xu Huange suddenly glanced at each other.
Looks like there's some story in there.
"Why can't he speak?"
"I don't know, he hasn't mentioned it, in the past few years, he has been revolving around this sick child day and night, and has treated him as his own child, but Xun'er This child is very well-behaved and cute, and he spends every day in the decoction, but he is still optimistic, and he knows that Uncle Nian is happy, alas, ......"
"Every time I see him deliver goods so hard, I make a little money, and I buy medicine for Xun'er, I look pitiful, I think he has this craft, and occasionally there are some guests with special needs, who used to secretly find him some money to earn, but I don't know what's wrong, since he can't speak, he no longer takes this kind of work. β
At this time, the sound of polishing in my ears stopped, and I saw Uncle Nian walking out of the grocery store.
