Chapter 2: Teasing

After a while, Chen Mu bought the steamed buns back.

Before Huo Qingyan got up, Huo Gang put down the tools, knocked on the door outside her room, and asked her to come out to eat.

Chen Mu put the steamed buns and pickles on the table, went to the kitchen and took three pairs of chopsticks, three bowls and a small plate, opened the pickles and poured them into the small plate, and then poured the boiled water that Huo Gang had boiled when he got up into the three bowls, and then sat and waited quietly.

After Huo Gang woke up his daughter, he came over, sat down while taking steamed buns, and motioned for Chen Mu to start eating.

Chen Mu also took a steamed bun and ate it with pickles, due to the relatively large consumption of the water movement in the morning, the faint fragrance of the steamed buns stimulated the nose, which made him feel his appetite greatly boosted, and he took a bite of it, the white steamed buns tasted slightly sweet, and then took a bite of pickles, he enjoyed eating extraordinarily.

The steamed buns are quite big, the size of Chen Mu's two fists, six steamed buns, Huo Gang wants to eat three, Huo Qingyan eats one, and the remaining two are Chen Mu's.

Chen Mu was full after eating one, and the other was requested by Huo Gang, saying that he had a long body and had to eat more.

He gritted his teeth and continued to eat, and if he couldn't finish eating, he would put it away, and when he came back hungry from carrying water, he would nibble on a few bites.

Not long after, Huo Qingyan came out of the room, already dressed, the eleven-year-old girl, who was already beautiful and moving, was a little taller than Chen Mu.

At this time, Chen Mu's first steamed bun was almost finished, and Huo Gang was eating the third.

Huo Qingyan glanced at the steamed buns on the table, walked over slowly, held the table with one hand, his face was full of melancholy, and sighed like an adult.

Chen Mu and Huo Gang, who were munching on steamed buns, unconsciously stopped chewing, and both looked at her in unison, Huo Gang asked, "What's wrong?"

"Dad, can you not eat steamed buns every morning?" Huo Qingyan pouted dissatisfied, "I'm tired of eating!"

Huo Gang swallowed the remaining steamed buns in his mouth, drank the boiling water with the bowl, and then asked, "Then what do you want to eat?"

"I think honey flower cake is good!" Huo Qingyan suddenly came to her senses, wrapped Huo Gang's thick arm, looked up, her big eyes narrowed into a curved crescent, revealing her white teeth.

"Hiccup......" Huo Gang hiccuped a series of times and said slowly, "It's too expensive, one meal is enough to eat five days of steamed buns." ”

"Hmph! stingy!" Huo Qingyan angrily hammered Huo Gang's arm with her small fist, twisted her ass and sat down, picked up a steamed bun, her eyes bulged wide, and she was biting while staring at Huo Gang.

Huo Gang pretended not to see, stretched his waist, got up and went to sit in a brighter place outside, and greeted acquaintances passing by on the street from time to time.

Huo Qingyan was eating steamed buns sullenly, and turned her head to see Chen Mu with his cheeks bulging, his eyes widened, and his face was flushed, obviously choking.

Looking at Chen Mu's antics and movements, Huo Qingyan sneered and laughed.

Chen Mu didn't know what Huo Qingyan was laughing at, he had steamed buns stuffed in his mouth, and it was not good to have a big change in expression, so he raised the corners of his mouth at her in a small arc, and then felt really uncomfortable, so he beat his chest with his hand.

Huo Qingyan finished eating the steamed buns, and went to Lingyun Academy to practice, Huo Gang made a stove and prepared to work, Chen Mu cleaned up the table and chopsticks, wrapped the half of the steamed buns that had not been eaten, and then continued to fetch water.

In the morning, the people on the road gradually increased, and the morning glow was golden and fell on Chen Mu's gray cloth clothes, and also on the stone streets of Qingmo Town.

Before eating, I picked up water twice, sweated a lot, the patches and shoes on my feet were wet, and my feet were a little cold after resting, and I stepped on the stone slab covered with sunshine, but I felt warm in my heart.

Vendors on both sides of the street set up stalls to display all kinds of people's daily necessities, and they are shouting and shouting vigorously, and they will introduce people when they pass by.

A group of grown men, tall and burly, dressed in smart vests, with bare arms and strong muscles clearly visible.

They are going to Lingyun Mountain to hunt, and if they are lucky, they may come back today, but they usually need to spend the night in the mountain and come back in a few days.

The fierce beasts and fierce birds in the mountains are extremely powerful, and the hunting team can only escape when they encounter it, and if they run slowly, they may become food for the hungry beasts, and they will stay in Lingyun Mountain forever.

Even if they will face unexpected dangers next, they still talk and laugh all the way, without worrying about what will happen next, they are a group of adventurous people, tired of the ordinary life in the town, from the time they join the hunting team, they are ready to lose their lives at any time, if they want to live in peace, then stay in the town, do some business in the town or work for others.

When they return, they will bring back all kinds of beast meat, as well as some precious wild fruits, which have a great effect on nourishing the body, and can be sold for a good price, enough for them to live in luxury for a long time.

Along the way, you can also see a group of children.

These children are made up of two kinds of people, one is less than ten years old, not yet the age of Lingyun Academy's enrollment, and the other is the children whose divine veins are not outstanding enough to be recruited by Lingyun Academy, but their families are wealthy and do not need to work.

They gather to find the fun stuff in town, giggling and chasing through the streets, with the shouts of adults coming from behind.

Chen Mu picked up the empty bucket and looked at it as he walked, with a look of envy in his eyes, because of physical reasons, he had never run much vigorously since he was a child, so naturally he had no playmates.

When he went to work in the blacksmith shop, he could see Huo Qingyan every day, but he didn't say a few words to her, and every time he called her, she just simply hummed and responded with a simple hum.

Almost all the children in this place know such a boy who carries water, only picks half a bucket of water, walks staggeringly, has a rich variety of expressions, and looks very interesting.

The adults were okay with this and wouldn't interfere with him too much.

Children are different, their biggest interest is to find fun things, and playing tricks on Chen Mu is also something they must do every day.

When he saw Chen Mu walking by, he ran over and walked around him with a smile, some people threw stones into his bucket, some people twisted their butts in front of him to learn him to walk, and even more excessively, they dragged his bucket to make him shake even more.

In the face of the children's teasing, Chen Mu had no choice, his words didn't work, and he might not be able to beat them, so he could only stabilize his pace and slow down his walking.

Some adults can't look at it and will yell a sentence or two, but children won't listen to it at all, and they still play happily.

They wouldn't leave until they approached the blacksmith shop, because they were all afraid of Huo Gang.

There was a child who teased Chen Mu and was seen by Huo Gang, Huo Gang took off the child's pants and tied them to the pillar in front of the blacksmith shop, and then the child's father came to Huo Gang to theorize and asked him to release him and apologize, Huo Gang didn't listen at all, and almost beat the child's father, and no child dared to tease Chen Mu in front of Huo Gang again.

dragged a few children all the way, and finally arrived at the blacksmith shop, and the children left without leaving, and Chen Mu suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

But fortunately, the children only teased him once a day, and the second time he was basically not interested, and some children were called back by adults to teach some things or do some small work.

Without the harassment of children, Chen Mu straightened a crooked bucket, sweat the size of beans dripping from his face, and he gritted his teeth and insisted on picking up the water to the blacksmith shop.

Turn a corner and you'll see the blacksmith's shop.

When he turned the corner, he found that his grandfather was standing at the door of the blacksmith shop, not knowing what he was talking to Huo Gang.

Seeing that Chen Mu was back, the two stopped chatting and looked at Chen Mu who came over with water.

Chen Mu was still grinning, still looking very struggling, neither of them stepped forward to help, standing in place and looking at him, when he passed by the two, he smiled at the two with difficulty, because he really didn't have the strength to speak.

Staggered to the water tank, threw the bucket, and did not pour the water into it immediately, ready to take a break and pour it again, by the way to see what happened to grandpa.
