Although Mu Bingyue didn't know how the tea stall owner had a method of transferring flowers and trees, she also knew that if Xiao Shunzi applied for the recruitment, he would have to be another person forever in the future, and he would never be able to change back to himself.

Mu Bingyue knew that even if she paid several times more than the ransom, the owner of the tea stall would not let him go, but seeing that he was worried, she didn't know how to comfort him.

This matter has been backlogged in Xiao Shunzi's heart for several months, but there has been no one to talk to, after vomiting out his heart, his heart has also relaxed a lot, seeing Mu Bingyue's eyebrows and not knowing what to think, he can't help but laugh at how he caught a doll and ignored it.

"Our family is looking for a house here, and we will help take care of the eldest lady in the future." Mu Bingyue didn't know what would happen in the future, but she still wanted to try her best to help him.

Xiao Shunzi listened, although she was surprised by Mu Bingyue's 'bold words', but she still smiled gratefully, "The little girl is really kind-hearted. ”

Mu Bingyue knew that he didn't take her seriously, and he didn't say anything, only smiled.

Xiao Shunzi suddenly remembered something, "The little girl's family wants to buy a house here?" ”

Mu Bingyue nodded.

Xiao Shunzi thought for a while and said, "Not far away, there is a house for sale, because it is close to the market, the price is a bit expensive." ”

Mu Bingyue asked, "I don't know how much silver." ”

Xiao Shunzi replied: "Ten taels of silver! ”

Mu Bingyue heard that it was close to the market, so she asked a few more words: "I don't know how many rooms there are?" ”

Seeing that she was interested, Xiao Shunzi sat down and said in detail: "The family's surname is Chen, and I talked about it a few days ago when I drank tea here, it is three rooms and a small courtyard. ”

When Mu Bingyue heard it, it was quite agreeable, because her father had never come back, although the family had money, her mother did not dare to buy a house, she was young, and she did not dare to be too open-minded. Now it's different, not to mention that there is another person in the family.

But she doesn't have the ten taels of silver now, but they have made a lot of money this year, but after paying off her grandfather's principal and interest, there are only seventy-five taels of silver left, but she also squandered it all at once.

But the more money she earns, the more she has, and she is not discouraged, so it's a big deal to borrow it again. Siding Mu Bingyue hurriedly asked where the house was, and after asking, she said goodbye to Xiao Shunzi and went to the house.

The family surnamed Chen saw a girl come to see the house, but he was not too enthusiastic, but let her enter the hospital and went to work by himself.

Mu Bingyue went to the main room and the left and right wings to take a look, and saw that the roof tiles and beams were very strong, and there was no rain leakage, so she was full of satisfaction. I went to the well again to look down, and saw that the water level of the well was very high and the water was clear, so I was relieved, so I went to negotiate with Mr. Chen.

That old man Chen thought it was just a child's curiosity and nonsense, so he didn't care, but when he saw Mu Bingyue go to see the well, he knew that the other party was really planning to buy a house, and after leading Mu Bingyue to sit down in the main hall, he went to the inner room to tell his family to make tea.

Mu Bingyue was not polite, waved her hand and said straight to the point: "Master Chen, don't bother, let's tell me a price." ”

Seeing that Mu Bingyue's actions were no longer vain, Master Chen said straightly: "Ten taels of silver, not a penny less." ”

Mu Bingyue listened to it, and praised it in her heart, the ancients were all high-spirited and bright people, and they did not bully the small, and said with a smile: "I want it." But I don't have that much silver with me right now, so can I send it tomorrow? ”

Master Chen didn't react much when he heard it, thinking that he didn't quite believe Mu Bingyue's words, so he said for a while: "In this case, please pay a deposit of 100 yuan for the little girl first." ”

Mu Bingyue smiled, knowing that the old man didn't believe her, she took out her purse, "There are thirty texts here." Anyway, you can't sell it today, if I don't come tomorrow, you can sell it to someone else, and the thirty wen will be used as a deposit. This was the money she got from selling those sketches and jokes today, but she didn't expect to find a house so soon.

The old man smiled and put away the silver, and the old man's wife outside the house made tea and brought it in, but when she saw that her husband had received all the money, she was surprised, and when she handed the tea to the girl, she was shocked: "Why are you so kind?" ”

Mu Bingyue raised her head when she heard this, took a closer look at the woman in front of her, and made sure that she didn't know her.

But the lady said 'ah', "Isn't it the girl who saved the girl from the juggling troupe that day!" ”

Mu Bingyue didn't expect that she would be famous, so when Master Chen heard it, he was surprised: "Really? ”

The lady was dissatisfied: "What am I lying to you about? ”

At this point, Master Chen believed it, pushed Mu Bingyue's money back, and said: "Little girl, you can take the money back first, you will pay tomorrow, you can move in at any time, the old man and the old woman just moved to the son's house in the city." ”

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, he looked around and said to Mu Bingyue: "Although the furniture in this house is old, it can still be used, if you don't dislike it, I will give it to you, and no one will buy it anyway." ”

Mu Bingyue saw that he was talking quickly, without any hypocrisy or shirk, "In this way, thank you Master Chen." ”

Master Chen waved his hand.

Mu Bingyue saw that the matter had been settled, so it was inconvenient to disturb more, so she got up and said, "Master Chen, Mrs. Chen, I'll go back first if I have nothing to do." ”

Mrs. Chen hurriedly said: "Why don't you sit down more, haven't you eaten at noon?" Just leave it for a light meal! ”

Mu Bingyue was embarrassed, and said busily: "No, I've been out for a long time, I'm afraid that my family will worry." ”

Mrs. Chen gave up when she heard this, but she sent Mu Bingyue out of the hospital all the way, and told her to slow down, if it wasn't for Master Chen holding her, Mu Bingyue was really afraid that Mrs. Chen would always send her home.

When Mu Bingyue came out of the hospital, she didn't feel very hungry, so she didn't plan to go home, so she walked around casually. She saw that there was a bookstore in front of her, thinking that it was a book seller, and she just wanted to see the spiritual and cultural aspects of the local people, so she walked in.

It's an old shop, it's not very spacious, but it's very tidy, with stacks of books neatly placed on the shelves. An old man was dusting the dust from the books in front of the bookshelf, there was no one in the store, it was very deserted, and the old man did not notice Mu Bingyue.

Mu Bingyue didn't say anything, so she chose to watch it by herself.

It took a long time for the old man to discover Mu Bingyue, and when he saw her seventeen or eight-year-old girl looking at books, she was only curious, and she didn't say anything to drive people away, so she continued her work.

Mu Bingyue read it for a long time, and saw that most of them were military books, not some poetry collections, personal codexes, celebrity biographies, or anecdotes from various countries, and she also lost interest, she had a bottom in her heart, and she didn't want to stay longer, when she put down the book and was about to leave, she heard the old man sigh for a long time, as if there was boundless loneliness and sourness that could not be told.

She stopped and looked at the old man, who was looking at her. The old man, who was about fifty years old, full of civility, and very kind between his eyebrows, saw her look at him, and reluctantly smiled and said to her, "But there is nothing you like?" ”

Mu Bingyue was puzzled and nodded, but heard the old man sigh again. Seeing that the old man was quite lonely, Mu Bingyue thought that maybe the business in the store was deserted, so she took out the money and wanted to buy a book.

Who knew that the old man didn't answer, and said to Mu Bingyue: "Only those who love them can live up to them if they buy them back." ”

Looking at the old man's style, Mu Bingyue was no longer surprised that the store was deserted, she thought for a while and said, "Isn't there usually anyone in the boss's store?" ”

The corners of the old man's mouth showed a hint of bitterness, "Those who have no money can't fill their stomachs, and those who have money have gone to the martial arts hall to practice martial arts, who has spare money and energy to come here to kill time." ”

Mu Bingyue knew that the people here were all martial arts and light on literature, and it was natural that the business in the store was not good, that is, after she had a mobile phone and a computer in her life, the physical library would also wither.

"Can the boss publish some popular books? Loved by men, women and children alike! ”

The old man shook his head when he heard this, "I can't read, and it's useless to go out." ”

Mu Bingyue forgot about this layer for a while, this is not like her life, there are nine years of free compulsory education, and those who can have the opportunity to read and write here are all rich children.

At this time, two boys outside the door ran by with bamboo swords, and they kept shouting to kill. When the old man saw it, he said angrily: "Fight and fight, you know how to fight every day, and you can only have a good life." ”

Mu Bingyue said to herself: "Born in troubled times, everyone can't help themselves. ”

The old man glanced at her in surprise when he heard this, and Mu Bingyue came back to her senses and smiled indifferently.

The old man agreed: "It is indeed involuntarily! I don't know when such troubled times will pass? When will there be a peaceful life? I'm afraid I'm old, and I won't have a chance to see it the day I enter the ground. ”

Mu Bingyue listened, and saw that his eyebrows were still locked, as if he had infinite troubles, his eyes turned lightly, and said, "It's good for me to tell the boss a story." ”

When the old man heard this, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he was still willing to listen to Mu Bingyue.

Mu Bingyue saw that he was not impatient, and slowly spoke: "It is said that there is an old man who fishes on the beach every day, and catches a few fish so leisurely every day, enough to make a living, and he doesn't fish." A rich man came to the beach with a fishing rod and sat next to the old man to fish. The rich man said to the old man, "I have a suggestion for you: you catch more fish every day, and if you can't eat it, sell it." The old man said, "What are you selling for?" The rich man said, "Save up the money." The old man said, "What are you saving money for?" The rich man said, "Use it to buy a boat and go and catch more fish." The old man said, "What are you doing with more fish?" The rich man said, "I sold the fish, bought more boats, and caught more fish." The old man said, "What are you doing with more fish?" The rich man said, "In the future, like me, you will live in a big house, eat good food, and travel everywhere and go to the sea to fish leisurely." The old man said, "Aren't I just fishing leisurely on the beach now?" ”

The old man was puzzled by what he meant, and his heart was even more confused.

Mu Bingyue continued: "The boss can do what he likes, is good at, and can control, which is a happiness that many people dare not want. "No matter what the era, people are driven by a kind of inertia. This inertia comes from society, ideas, culture, and education, and everyone is so busy with their own that they lose sight of where they are going and the beautiful scenery on both sides of the road.

The old man was silent, fell into deep thought, and said for a long time: "Yes! What more could I ask for? I'm much happier than those homeless people, but I always feel heavy in my heart and can't be happy. After finishing speaking, he looked at Mu Bingyue, as if he was telling a young child what was on his mind, which made him a little embarrassed
