Chapter 50 - Let It Go
It's been half a decade since the king of the county and Jin Nian left.
These days, Mu Yu has mostly been patrolling and supervising her own shop, and she often comes to talk to her without Jinnian, and her life is much duller and lonely.
However, with Liao Yurong's letter during this lonely time, Mu Yu did not feel too lonely. Since that incident, Liao Yurong has rarely communicated with Mu Yu, and both of them know about it. But after all, the friendship between them has been around since childhood, so after a long time, those calculations faded, and slowly, the two resumed contact.
On this day, Mu Yu was planning to inspect his shop.
The sun shrouded the land, and the breeze gently swept the weeds and flowers on the roadside, and the greenery was majestic.
Today's Mu Yu wore a lotus-colored silk skirt, pulled her long black and thick hair back behind her head, dragged it to her waist, and wrapped a pair of lotus feet in flat cloth shoes, faintly revealing a small piece of jade-like ankles between the rows, which was eye-catching.
After crossing a big road and walking into a narrow alley, Mu Yu realized that something was wrong - there was someone behind him!
Who is it?
Mu Yu suddenly looked behind him - no one?
Subconsciously, she swept back quickly, and sure enough, there were more elusive figures in front of her.
This person appeared in front of him silently, with a pair of cold eyes that were different from ordinary people, full of murderous energy, dressed in a strong suit, and a fatal move as soon as he made a move!
Mu Yu also reacted extremely quickly, almost at the moment when he made a move, he retreated to a safe range, and then attacked, because in this Donglin County, Mu Yu did not carry a sword with him, so he had to use his fists and feet, while the other party was holding a sharp hidden weapon in both hands - Mu Yu simply shortened the distance with that person.
Her melee attacks are still excellent.
She was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of the man's eyes, and Mu Yu made a lightning move, grabbed him, and trapped him firmly.
"Say! Who sent you? Mu Yu subconsciously guessed that the Feng family had bought the killer to kill her.
"Dare to ask this girl, do you know a girl named Mu Yu?"
"I am, what do you want?"
"I'm from Qingfeng Building."
Mu Yu was stunned for a moment and let him go.
He clenched his fists and said: "Miss Mu Yu, forgive me for being offended, I heard someone call your name just now, so I said hello, don't be surprised!" ”
"Hehe, you're really interesting, that's how you greet me? Hey, I think you must be a martial arts idiot, right? ”
"The girl is smart, I Chang Mo Wu is indeed called a "martial idiot" in Qingfeng Building. ”
"Huh!" Mu Yu sneered, he was really a martial idiot...... She just said casually, "Who sent you?" ”
"Your Excellency."
Landlord? For the owner of Qingfeng Building, for Mu Yu, and even for most people in Qingfeng Building, it only exists in word of mouth.
"Looking for me?" Mu Yu didn't dare to imagine that the lord of the building, who had always existed in the legend, sent someone to find him? This...... Forgive her for not being able to turn her mind for a while.
"Yes, the girl heard it right, the girl was selected to enter the Qingfeng Building after participating in the competition with the other fourteen people, ranked fourteenth, so the landlord attaches great importance to these fifteen people, but the girl is now living in her hometown, the landlord had to send me to invite the girl." The man stood there like a pine, his tone was stiff, and his gaze did not have much waves, as he said, as if in his eyes, only martial arts could move him.
Mu Yu fell into deep thought because of his words.
Indeed, the competition she participated in after entering Qingfeng Building ranked fourteenth, and Senior Brother Ning Hao was in front of her, so Senior Brother Ning Hao was also summoned by the landlord before going back? But what does the landlord want to do when he gathers them? Also, when Ning Hao left, he should have known that the landlord would summon them, so why did Senior Brother Ning Hao leave alone without saying anything?
"This senior brother, I want to know, did the landlord convene us together or recall it separately?"
"This is another matter, the landlord will call you and arrange some special tasks for you, some tasks need more people to complete, and some tasks only need one or two."
"That'...... What about Senior Brother Ning Hao? He was also assigned a special task by the landlord? ”
"Yes."
Mu Yu pondered for a while before he said, "Then am I on a solo mission or with others?" ”
"Didn't Miss Mu know when she arrived in the Imperial City?" He didn't seem to want to reveal too much.
Mu Yu knew that the base camp of Qingfeng Building was in a village courtyard in the imperial city, and she also went to the imperial city base camp to learn martial arts.
"As a disciple of Qingfeng Building, I am willing to listen to the lord of the building, please allow me to clean up and leave again." Mu Yu took a deep breath and immediately made up his mind.
She can't stay in the small Donglin County for the rest of her life, and she doesn't want to marry like other women, and then do nothing for a lifetime, she also wants to make a career and achievements like a man......
"Girl, go back and say goodbye to your father and mother first, and I'll wait for you on the dock."
"Okay, thank you, brother!" Mu Yu clenched his fists.
Mu Yu immediately turned around and went to the wooden house.
Dad should be in the study now to listen to the steward's report, and my mother has been staying in Qinxin Courtyard all the time.
She hurried home, went directly to Qinxin Courtyard, and said goodbye to Mrs. Mu first.
Mrs. Mu was sitting with her mother-in-law under the flower gallery to enjoy the shade, embroider things, weave tassels and other such gadgets, when she saw Mu Yu coming, she smiled and said: "Yu'er, why don't you go to the Fang Market to have a look, here you come?" ”
Mu Yu glanced at the three mothers-in-law next to him, and hesitated: "Mother, my daughter wants to tell you something important......
The three mothers-in-law looked at each other and knew that they should avoid it, so they hurriedly left.
Mrs. Mu looked solemn and asked, "Yu'er, you won't leave your mother again, will you?" ”
"Forehead ......" I didn't expect to be guessed by my mother all at once, is this the legendary daughter Mo Ruomu?
Mu Yu grinned, bit his lower lip, and said, "Mother, you are really like a god." As he spoke, he moved a small stool and sat next to his mother, raising his eyes and looking at Mrs. Mu pitifully.
"Hey, you kid, why are you going to leave again? Where are you going? You're such an old person, and you're old enough to get married, why are you still running out? Madame Mu was very angry, and her eyebrows were full of disappointment.
"No, mother, it's someone from Qingfeng Building who came to me, I have to go back, and when my daughter completes the task assigned by the landlord, my daughter will come back immediately, and I will never delay getting married!"
Mrs. Mu stared at her suspiciously for a long time and asked, "What task?" Dangerous or not? ”
"My daughter doesn't know yet, I won't know until I get to Qingfeng Building, but the landlord shouldn't hurt me......"
Mrs. Mu was full of reluctance, and held Mu Yu's hands tightly: "Yu'er, my good Yu'er, how can my mother be willing to let you go, my mother is finally looking forward to your return......" said, already with tears in her eyes.
"Mother, my daughter will come back...... Don't be so upset. Mu Yu lowered his head.
"You leave this time, you must bring a letter to the family, otherwise my mother will not know anything, and my mother will be worried......"
"I will, I'll definitely bring the letter back."
"Well, well, when are you leaving? Did you tell your dad? ”
"When my daughter says goodbye to her father, I'll leave."
"Then go and talk to your father, my mother is okay here."
"Mother, then I'll go first."
"Go ahead."
Mu Yu went to the study where his father was, and saw that the people inside came out one after another, and it was estimated that it was almost over, so he walked in.
"Hey, Yu'er, what's the matter?" As soon as Mu Zhengqing looked up from the table book on the case, he saw the figure of his daughter, Mu Yu should be in the shop at this time, what......
"Dad, my daughter wants to say goodbye to you." Mu Yu was also very entangled.
"What?" Mu Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, "Yu'er, where are you going again?" ”
All the stewards left, and the breeze outside was floating, sending bursts of flowers, but Mu Yu didn't have the heart to pay attention to these, she explained: "Dad, Qingfeng Lou sent someone to find me, my daughter must go back to complete the task given to me by the landlord, and when the task is completed, my daughter will come back immediately, my daughter promises!" ”
"You ......" Mu Zhengqing had nothing to say, but no matter what, he was reluctant to let his daughter go like this.
"When are you leaving?"
"Let's go now."
"So fast...... Mu Zhengqing gasped, "Yu'er, you...... Did you tell your mother? ”
"I told my mother just now, Dad, forgive my daughter for being unfilial."
Mu Zhengqing waved his hand and turned his head, "You have grown up, your wings are stiff, you can go if you want to." ”
"Daddy......" Mu Yu's vision was already blurred, and two lines of tears still flowed down his face uncontrollably.
"Daughter...... Leave! ”
......
Mu Yu stood on the dock, looking at everything in Donglin County, since she came back, a lot of things had happened here.
The Feng family is now in decay because of the defeat and decadence of the head of the family, and Zhang Qinghu can't afford to be sick, and the old lady of the Feng family takes care of it day and night. The Mu family is on the way to prosperity, and it seems that no one in this Donglin County can stop it.
In addition, the relationship between the Mu family and the Liao family has gradually improved, thanks to the tenacity of the relationship between Mu Yu and Liao Yurong, otherwise it is estimated that the Mu family and the Liao family will never intersect again in the future......
Everything that happened in this small Donglin County in a short period of time made Mu Yu unforgettable, and the appearance of Donglin County was also deeply engraved into her mind.
"Girl Mu, let's get on board."
"Okay."
The boat moved, and the waves were rolling down the river to the edge of the sky. The skyline in the distance blends with the river, the morning sun is brilliant, sprinkling a warm and bright light towards the river, and a line of egrets fly up to the clouds against the rising sun, letting the river wind arbitrarily.
I'm going to be free.
