Chapter 10: The Wind and Dew Sink (5)
has never been a nouveau riche in two lifetimes, and Xia Mu is holding these huge sums of money in his hands, and his legs and stomach are trembling.
But in any case, he took Qiu Sui and the others back to the inn first.
This time, there was no politeness and only politeness, but the pace of consumption with the six relatives not recognized. When the shopkeeper saw the silver that Xia Mu threw on the table, he immediately changed from a fierce face to a nodding waist, and the conversion speed was even inferior to her as an actor.
Xia Mu asked for two upper rooms, first of all, to wash a few people, maybe a few of them really didn't feel stinky after staying in the pit for a long time, but Xia Mu couldn't bear it anymore. If she doesn't take a hot shower and change into clean clothes, she will definitely be smoked to death by herself.
The shopkeeper led a few people into the two upper rooms, except for the summer curtain, the other people had never stayed in such a luxurious and beautiful house so far, and they were all so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, and they were all careful for fear of breaking something.
Then he instructed Xiao Er to prepare a few buckets of hot water, and then asked him to send a clean change of clothes according to their respective sizes. Xiao Er, who took the silver, ran quickly and smiled from ear to ear.
Finally, after a long time, everyone looked at each other as if they had been reborn, and they couldn't recognize each other.
"Mother, this new dress is so beautiful!" Xiaoyudian and Xiaoju jumped and jumped happily, after the two female dolls were washed, they were so cute and beautiful, Xia Mu felt that they were two child stars at all.
"Thank you for that." Qiu Sui has also been stroking the clothes on her body, and her previous life has worn her to the point where she doesn't look like a woman, but at this time, Xia Mu finally saw a cute and gentle smile on her face.
"Thank you, Mumu." The soup spoon smiled innocently, still like that.
Although Xiaofeng was not good at words and did not speak, he also expressed his gratitude with a red face. Xia Mu himself is also very satisfied, these people reached out when they were at their worst, then he was willing to give them the best.
"We can't stop begging, we have to do something really profitable to support ourselves. Especially Sister Suizi, you're about to give birth, and we can't live in that broken temple all the time. ”
After eating and drinking, Xia Mu finally remembered that he was going to work and make money today.
"But what can we do? They are all these little big children, my body, no one wants to do laundry and cooking, Xiaofeng was also injured three months ago, and his leg injury has not healed so far, and he still has ...... Alas! Autumn Sui shook her head sadly.
"By the way, how did Xiaofeng's leg hurt?" Xia Mu asked, "You were injured three months ago?" It's still a new injury, can his leg be healed through healing, after all, a boy who is only eighteen years old will still grow a lot in his future life.
"Three months ago, I was Brother Shuidong, who was the father of the raindrops. When I was returning home from work in Mi Xing, I passed by a mountain road, and I didn't know that when a boulder rolled down from the mountain, Brother Shui Dong was ...... And I, too, broke my leg and picked up a life. Xiao Feng replied with a twitching mouth.
Speaking of this, Qiu Sui's eyes were red again, Rao is a strong woman, how can she not be sad when she talks about her husband who passed away not long ago. Even though life is not rich, it will never prevent them from respecting and loving each other.
Xia Mu also learned later that Xiaofeng, Xiaoju, and Soup Spoon were all orphans, and the three of them had been mixed together since they were children, and they lived by begging.
It wasn't until later that Xiaofeng and Qiu Sui's husband met and were often taken care of by this family, and several children depended on this couple and took care of each other, living a few years of poverty but peace.
Until that accident, a family's strong labor was taken away, leaving the orphan and widow.
Xiaofeng was also seriously injured at that time, and even his life was almost guaranteed, let alone going out to work again to support these children. Qiu Sui had no choice but to grit his teeth and sell the two dilapidated thatched huts at home, and exchanged some copper coins to find a husband to save Xiaofeng's life.
These days, he is just able to move, thinking of that rainy night, what kind of ordeal must he, a person like him, who is not actually strong and whose leg injury has not yet healed, to carry himself back to the ruined temple. After that, every time Xia Mu asked, Xiao Feng always shook his head and said that it was nothing, but Xiao Yudian told Xia Mu that when Xiao Feng came back, his palms and knees were bloody, and he should have fallen on his back in that stormy night.
It is said that husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they will fly separately when the disaster comes, not to mention that these people are not related by blood. Looking at the few people in front of him who hadn't read a book for a day and didn't have a penny on them, but they didn't give up until they died, Xia Mu was very stubborn. It is a rare true feeling to be able to hold each other's hands in the midst of adversity. This made Xia Mu feel like he had found an organization, as if he was with them, and he was no longer alone in this world.
After some discussion, Xia Mu decided that foodies naturally want to start making money from 'eating'. Now that you have the capital, you don't necessarily have to work.
So on the same day, he set up a room, upstairs for accommodation, and downstairs to sell food. Come to think of it, the most competitor-free place in this place is all kinds of pastry cakes.
After spending another two days setting up his baking room and preparing the appropriate tools, Xia Mu locked himself in the kitchen and tinkered with it.
Others decorated the storefront according to her request, the flower pickers went, the paper-cutting paper-cutting was busy, the ribbons were tied, and the group of people were excited and excited although they didn't know why.
When Xia Mu appeared with his masterpiece, several people were all stunned, they had never seen such a delicate and beautiful pastry. With flowers, ribbon decoration, and even the food box containing pastries are exquisite, pasted with cut out patterns, it is really dazzling.
Then Xia Mu taught Xiaoyudian and Xiaoju to sing a cheerful tune, and let the two of them put on beautiful and festive red jackets, and stood at the door of the store and sang milkily, which quickly attracted the attention of people coming and going.
Then she started a free tasting event, where everyone could taste a small bite, but not more. Such a fresh, beautiful, and never-before-seen bizarre pastry swept the whole town in less than half a day.
There was a long queue in front of the small shop in the summer curtain, but then she played hunger marketing again, selling only a limited number of cakes a day. For a while, there was a wave of fashion in the town, as if you can buy this cake to show your identity and status.
Three days later, Xia Mo finally experienced what it means to be full of bowls for the first time.
After a period of busyness, Xia Mu gradually handed over the work and kitchen to Xiaofeng. She also thought about whether there was any other way to continue to expand the way to make money, because she had to redeem Situ Lan's bracelet as soon as possible.
It has been more than half a month since I left the moon sprout clouds, but in fact, this town is not far from the moon sprouts and clouds. If Situ Lan really wanted to come to him, he should have appeared a long time ago, but he didn't. What this says is self-evident. Fortunately, this time was too busy, so she had little time to miss that man, otherwise she had never fallen out of love, and she really didn't know how to free herself from this entanglement and longing.
That night, after a busy day's work, Xia Mu was about to undress and go to bed when suddenly a figure jumped in from the window and landed in the house.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? Although this person covered his face, Xia Mu still recognized the clothes he was wearing at a glance, which was the school uniform between the moon buds and clouds. Could it be that Situ Lan sent someone to find him? Suppressing a burst of excitement in his heart, he asked.
"Take your life!" The man replied.
"What?!" This is something that Xia Mu never expected, Situ Lan would actually send someone to kill him!
"You witch! hurt my disciples, and colluded with the demons to invade the moon buds and clouds! Do you think you'll survive by escaping here? Hum! Take your life! As he spoke, he stabbed him with his sword.
Xia Mu hasn't had time to digest the meaning of his words, what collusion with the demons? What invades the moon buds and clouds? All you can do is run for your life.
I used all my strength, dodged left and dodged, and almost threw out everything that could be defended at hand, and the small room was even more smashed.
The area of the two-story building was not large, and Xiao Feng ran over first when he heard the movement, but the monk seemed to really want to kill Xia Mo, and when he saw that a sword was about to stab her, Xiao Feng actually rushed up without hesitation and blocked in front of her.
Everything came too quickly and too suddenly, until Xia Mu turned around and saw Xiaofeng lying in a pool of blood, the whole person was stunned, he really killed him, and hurt the innocent!
"Curtain...... Come on! Xiao Feng lay on the ground, still holding on to the monk's thigh, so Xia Mu saw him plunge the long sword into Xiao Feng's back, and then saw Xiao Feng die in front of his eyes.
"Little Wind!!" Xia Mu felt that he was going crazy, and he didn't run away. Out of nowhere, the courage and strength rushed forward, as if the potential had been stimulated, and used the moves that he had learned in the moon buds and clouds for a few steps, and kicked the monk several steps back.
But the killer's martial arts were not weak, and with a backhand palm, he knocked Xia Mu to the ground and spat blood, and he was unable to get up for a while.
At this time, the unknown soup spoon, Xiao Ju, and the rain drops actually came, and the three children were smaller than the other, and when they saw a masked man holding a long sword, and Xiao Feng, who was bleeding like a river on the ground, and Xiao Feng, who had lost his breath, screamed more fiercely than the other.
And at this moment, the killer actually stabbed again without mercy, and Xia Mu couldn't move, so he could only close his eyes and wait for this moment of death.
"Sister!" The soup spoon picked up a stool and smashed it, the killer had to reach out to block it, the wooden stool shattered instantly, and the three children were also shocked to the ground, especially the soup spoon was silent.
"Soup Spoon!!" Xia Mu struggled to crawl over, only to find that a long wooden thorn on the wooden bench was piercing the belly of the soup spoon, and it was bleeding profusely.
"Sister...... Sister. Spoon called out with difficulty.
"Sister is here, Spoon, you hold on. My sister will find you a husband! Xia Mu burst into tears, turned his head and stared at his crimson eyes, and said, "Who the hell are you?!" Are you really sent by Situ Lan to kill me? Why didn't he come himself! ”
"How can you dirty the master's hands! Naturally, I'll solve it! With that, the killer stabbed with another sword.
Xia Mu suddenly stood up and rushed straight forward, she clearly realized that if she didn't die tonight, this killer would definitely not let go of any innocent people here. There are also raindrops and chrysanthemums, and autumn sui, they can't have anything to do because of themselves anymore......
Situ Lan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he said that the duty of the moon buds and clouds is to protect the world. But now he does not hesitate to kill innocents so indiscriminately in order to kill himself! It's ridiculous!
The long sword pierced the body, it turned out to be like this! The strong hatred has made her not even feel so sensitive to pain. Xia Mu grabbed the killer tightly and lifted his face scarf, finally able to remember that face in his mind before he died, and then he knew who to seek revenge on.
Hehe...... Situ Lan, I didn't expect that we would end up in such a way. I hate it!
I felt a lot of blood gushing out, my body was getting colder and colder, and my eyes were getting blurrier and blurrier. I don't know if I would wake up from this nightmare if I died like this, and if I would open my eyes again and return to my own world.
Everything quickly plunged into darkness......
