Chapter 13: A Chance Encounter with a Junior Brother
But the teahouse is closed, and I can't see it clearly.
Mu thought about it, and then went down the mountain and climbed over the bridge on the Xiliang River.
Circling back and forth at the gate of Xiliang City, he was worried that he couldn't enter, and was suddenly pushed aside by a boy carrying a load of goods: "Hurry up, make way for me, don't block the master, I'll go to the city to release the goods." ”
Mu Mo was caught off guard, he was hit by the boy and almost fell, and after standing firmly, he grabbed him, and was about to theorize, when the boy suddenly stiffened, threw the goods away, hugged Mu Mo and cried: "Senior sister, I didn't expect you to be alive!" ”
Mu was stunned for a moment, and tens of millions of memories were summoned to activate, and his brain was blank.
I never thought that in the catastrophe of Baixue Valley, someone would be able to come out alive like himself.
Ming Ghost, her clever and cute little junior brother, has a few rotten cloths hanging naked on his upper body, a large burning scar from his neck to his left chest, and his whole body is so dirty that he can't see a complete piece of skin, what kind of ordeal has he experienced these days?
Mu Yu hugged the Ming ghost, like a mudflow lava blocked in his throat, and hot tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.
Ming Ghost cried bitterly for a long time before wiping away his tears and asking, "Senior sister, how did you survive when Bai Xue Valley was washed in blood?" ”
"Master asked me to take the homeless people to escape from the secret passage, and on the way, I encountered officers and soldiers chasing and killing, jumped off the cliff, fell into the Xiliang River, and escaped from the fate", Mu Wu wiped away his tears, and turned to his junior brother again, "What about you?" How did you escape? ”
"I'm ashamed to say this", Ming Ghost wiped away his tears and choked up his recollection, "That day, Bai Xue Gu was washed in blood, the master was killed, the brothers died, and the wounded, I pretended to be a dead man, and lay down until the end of the melee, and finally crawled out of the pile of dead people, and relied on the dead man's business, reselling goods for a living, occasionally thinking back to the life of Bai Xue Valley, I wanted to cry." ”
"Dead man's business?" Mu Yu was a little puzzled, "What does that mean?" ”
"Isn't it the white wolf with empty gloves?" The Ming ghost smiled, leaned into Mu Yu's ear and whispered:
"Look at the dead people outside the Xiliang River, all day long, there are always some valuable objects on them, so I packed them all and sold them again, isn't it a profitable dead man's business?"
"It's too lacking in morality!" After all, Mu Yu was a little unbearable, "If someone is not actually dead, and wakes up to find that there is nothing around them that can live, will you break the life path of others?" ”
"If you can't survive without anything, what's the use of escaping your life in today's world?" The Ming ghost patted his chest and pointed at himself, "Look at me, I have nothing, can't I still survive?" Senior sister, what Master nagged everyone in the past, you can just listen to it, anything to help the world is the business of the rich, and the poor should think about it alone. ”
Mu Mo frowned, although he didn't agree in his heart, he didn't have anything to refute.
"Senior sister, I can't tell you first", Ming Ghost said, having already picked up the load of goods again, "The time to receive the goods in the city is limited, so I have to bring the goods to the city before the sun sets, and sell them out." At three o'clock tonight, shall we meet on the north side of Cuckoo Mountain? ”
"You're going to the city?" Mu Yu's heart moved, and he asked, "You might take me into the city?" I have an important matter to go to the city to do, why don't you take me into the city first, and we will go and get busy, and we will meet again at three o'clock tonight. ”
"Okay, you help me carry this, and don't talk when you meet the officers and soldiers guarding the city for a while." Ming Ghost said, divided half of the goods on his body, put them in the basket and gave them to Mu Wu, and didn't ask Mu Wu what was going on in the city.
Mu Yu obeyed, carried the goods and followed behind the Ming ghost, and arrived under the city gate in a blink of an eye.
"What did you bring?!" Two Di officers and soldiers defending the city stopped the Ming ghost and carried the goods in his basket with the hilt of their swords.
The Ming ghost bowed and nodded, took out a few pieces of broken silver from under the belt of his trousers, held them in front of the officers and soldiers with both hands, and accompanied him with a smiling face: "The officials are tired, and they work hard all day long, so they can buy some wine to relieve their boredom." ”
"When we are people!" The officers and soldiers of the Di tribe reprimanded angrily, and reached out to grab the broken silver into their arms.
Ming Ghost smiled and didn't speak, only hunched over and nodded in agreement.
The officers and soldiers of the Di tribe waved their hands: "Go, go, go!" ”
The Ming ghost hurriedly bowed his waist and thanked him, picked up the load, and took Mu Yu inside.
"Wait!" The officers and soldiers of the Di tribe suddenly screamed, pointed at Mu Yu and asked, "Who is she?" ”
"Oh", Ming Ghost glanced at Mu Yu, "She is my sister, her brain is not very bright, and she is a mute, so she rarely comes out, and I rarely mention it to the officials, otherwise it will not only make the officials laugh, but also not the well-intentioned people?" ”
"Well, that's right." The officers and soldiers looked at Mu Mo for a while and put her into the city.
After Mu Mo entered the city for a long time, he asked, "Where are you going now?" ”
The Ming ghost said: "Go to the military camp of Yu Wannian, and bring them some cloth, cotton, and herbs." ”
"You have a little bit of stuff, and the barracks are willing to accept it?" Mu Mo was a little surprised.
"You don't understand that, do you?" Ming Ghost blinked proudly, and whispered in Mu Yu's ear:
"Xiliang City is blocked, not to mention those official transportation channels, but all the conspicuous large-scale merchants have long been targeted by the people of the imperial court, only those who are like us are inconspicuous among the refugees, so it is easy to get their hands on it, otherwise do you think that the gate of Xiliang City is closed, even if they bribe the guards of the city gate, they dare to let ordinary homeless people in?"
"No wonder Xiliang City has been blocked for several months, but there is no more than 10,000 years of ammunition and food!" Mu Mo suddenly realized, and looked at the Ming ghost with admiration, "You kid has a lot of ghost ideas, you can think of this kind of way." ”
"It's just a bit of business to make ends meet, and it's thanks to my cleverness that I found this way to make money."
Ming Ghost smiled bitterly, "Now there are bargainers like me in the city, and they can be counted on five fingers." Sikong Dong looks like a fool, but he is actually a smart person. There are too many people in and out of the city, and there are too many times, and they are easy for him to find. After all, the amount of bulk cargo we have is small, and the gap in the army is large, and the remaining 10,000 years can be regarded as the end of the strong crossbow, and it is hard to support. ”
Mu Mo nodded, had a new understanding of the situation in Liangzhou, and asked Ming Ghost: "Do you know where Yu Wannian's mansion is?" ”
Ming Ghost glanced at Mu Mo strangely: "Senior sister, what are you doing here?" ”
Mu Mo thought about it, and finally felt that the assassination of Sikong Dong was too big, and he didn't want to involve the Ming ghost, so he lied to him and said: "It is said that when Sikong Dong washed the White Shallot Valley with blood, he brought the "Book of Ink" out of the valley and ordered someone to send it back to the Xiliang Mansion urgently. Later, Yu Wannian captured Xiliang City, and Sikong Dong didn't have time to take the "Book of Ink", so I wanted to look for it. ”
"This is no small matter!" Ming Ghost was surprised, "If the Book of Ink falls into the hands of Yu Wannian, and one or two of the formations are arranged to attack and defend, it will be impossible for the imperial court to win against him again!" If you study the entire "Book of Ink", don't you have to be invincible in the world? ”
"Not bad", Mu Mo continued to lie to him, "The Book of Ink is the treasure of the Mo family, the arrangement of troops is unpredictable, and there are many uses for artifacts, and there are too many of them that we have not yet mastered; If the entire "Book of Ink" falls into the hands of traitors, won't the people of the world suffer? Not to mention ......"
Mu Yu choked up, and couldn't help tears rolling down: "Before the master died, he specially instructed me not to covet the Book of Ink. Therefore, even if you don't think about the people of the world, should you do something for Master? ”
Ming Ghost clenched his fists, lowered his head and was silent for a moment, biting his lip with tears: "Senior sister, you don't have to say any more, wait until I go to the military camp to sell goods first, and in a quarter of an hour, I will meet you at the city gate and take you to Yu Wannian's mansion." ”
Mu Yu nodded, patted Ming Ghost's shoulder, wiped his tears and said goodbye to him.
Quickly find the teahouse where Sikong Dong is.
