047 Sheriff
Li Mu can be sure that the big man in front of him is definitely a white man, but maybe because there is too much beard on his face, or the sunlight in the Springfield area is too violent, the big man's face shows the kind of weathered bronze, with a square body, this looks like a tough guy who has been through wind and rain.

"Who is Li Mu?" Dahan's voice was a little hoarse, and although a question sentence was used, the tone barely fluctuated, and it was cold and intimidating.
In fact, when Dahan pushed the door in, the hall was already silent, and as soon as Dahan spoke, almost everyone subconsciously looked at Li Mu's side, which made Li Mu have no escape.
"Will, please don't—" A man who looked like a local official in Springfield stepped forward, his voice tinged with helplessness and pleading.
The strong man named Will glanced at the middle-aged man who spoke, nodded as a greeting, turned around and continued to glare at Li Mu: "Doug, I don't want to make trouble today, I just want to see who killed Jesse's bastard-"
Speaking of this, Will seemed to have lost his patience, strode up to Li Mu, and asked condescendingly, "Boy, is it you?" ”
Brat!
This title is really unfriendly, but for the sake of the police badge on Will's chest, Li Mu still nodded and admitted: "If you mean those robbers, then it's me." ”
"Hmph, hum-" Will's laughter was a little cold, making people feel cold, but it was strange that Li Mu found signs of warmth in Will's eyes, and maybe a little appreciation: "Boy, you robbed me of a big business, if it weren't for you, those bounties should have belonged to me." ”
Bounty -
To be honest, Li Mu really doesn't know how much, but it sounds like a lot of money, so Li Mu has no intention of giving in, so it doesn't matter if Will is a sheriff.
"yes—that's a pity, but the circumstances didn't allow me to choose, maybe I can treat you to a drink when I get my bounty." Li Mu noticed the attitude of these gentlemen and wives in the hall towards Will, which was neither good nor bad, probably the attitude of respecting and staying away, which was similar to the attitude of other young children towards Li Mu, which made Li Mu feel more cordial to Will.
"Hahahaha, thank you, but you're just a kid, you can't drink alcohol yet, you can owe this glass first." Will finally had a smile on his face, but it didn't look heroic, but a little scary, and his whole face was a little abstract, so it was better not to smile.
Seeing Will and Li Mu talking happily, the expression on Doug's face finally relaxed: "Okay, since we've seen it, let's move on - what should we do next?" ”
The latter sentence was addressed to the official of the Kid's Overseas Exit Bureau who had just announced the child's belonging, and when the official heard this, he smiled at Doug: "Mr. Douglas, we will go to the Celtic Hotel for dinner next to celebrate that these lucky children have met a family who likes them." ”
"Very well, let's get started, it's a good opportunity for us to get to know each other." Douglas turned around and went out, as if he didn't want to stay with Will for a minute.
Then the ladies in the hall led the children out one after another, they treated the children very kindly, although the language barrier, but they all tried to communicate with each other, trying to use some simple words to let the children understand what they wanted to express, it seems that the children's language course has started from now on.
The young children were nervous when they first arrived in an unfamiliar place, and although they could not understand what the mistresses of the family were saying, they could feel the kindness of the ladies, which made them feel happy.
Of course, there is also disharmony, just when the little fat man was about to go out, the little fat man suddenly turned around and said to Li Mu again: "It seems that you are going to be homeless today, do you want to go and open a room for you-"
This sentence was accompanied by the arrogant laughter of the little fat man, accompanied by a few chuckles from other children.
When did Li Mu suffer a loss, he opened his mouth and replied: "You have found a godmother for yourself, do you want to tell your father?" You're a thief and a father—"
Confess the thief as a father!
It sounds a bit serious, but considering the two previous Opium Wars, it would be right to say that foreigners were enemies of the Qing Empire.
Li Mu's words were still very powerful, and after he finished speaking, he saw that the little fat man's face was pale, and of course the little fat man wanted to fight back, but he was resolutely pulled away by the wife next to him, and he didn't give the little fat man a chance to get back on the field.
When Li Mu and the little fat man came and went, Will had been watching with interest from the side, although he couldn't understand what Li Mu and the little fat man were saying, but Will could still see the little fat man's ridicule and Li Mu's embarrassment, especially when the other children were taken away, and only Li Mu was left in the hall, the expression on Will's face was even more interested.
"Little one, it seems that you are in a similar situation to me, and you are not very popular." Will was not as rude as he looked on the surface, and when he spoke, he bent down in front of Li Mu and supported his knees with his hands, trying to look at Li Mu's eyes as much as possible.
"It's different-" Li Mu gave Will a confident smile before speaking, and then said as he walked out: "I'm not popular because I'm too good, and you're not popular because of your profession." ”
"Interesting, why do you say that?" Will was confused, and subconsciously followed Li Mu outward.
"You think, you're a policeman, who would want to deal with a police officer if you weren't in trouble?" When I went out, I saw Old Man Chen and Rong Hong at the door, Li Mu and Old Man Chen waved their hands casually, even if they had said hello, and then they wanted to go and meet Lao Yantou's family who were waiting on the side.
"Hahahaha, that's right - very interesting little guy." Will was smiling happily this time, as if no one was around.
"You are Li Mu?" Rong Hong called out to Li Mu, who was about to pass by.
"Yes, hello adults, goodbye adults-" Li Mu didn't mean to stop, and waved his hand to Rong Hong as a greeting.
"Hey, hey, little one, you haven't found an adoptive family yet—" Will caught up and grabbed Li Mu.
"Adoption? No, no, no, it's not adoption, it's just sojourn. And look at me, do I look like someone who needs to live in someone else's house? Li Mu had a serious expression when he spoke, and he didn't mean to ridicule.
"Okay, okay, it's just a sojourn, it looks like you haven't found a sojourn family yet, or rather, no family dares to take you in." Will said something heaven-shattering.
"That's right, they really don't dare-" Li Mu was not embarrassed this time.
At this point, Li Mu also figured out that not everyone is willing to bring a murderer to his home, even if he kills a bandit who is full of evil.
"Hah, that's great!" Will patted Li Mu's shoulder heavily, and the smile on his face became even more distorted: "I have decided to take you in, from now on, you are Sergeant Will Jr.-"
Sheriff?
That's a good job.
