Chapter 17: The Relic Is Gone
"Senior brother."
As soon as Mu Yu left with his front feet, the young man in the room woke up, which can also be said to be woken up.
At this time, the sky is already bright, the remnants of spring outside the house have not disappeared, the branches and flowers are still there, the morning air is slightly moist, and the cool breeze is surging in it.
"You're awake." Feng Yu looked back and said hoarsely. He is both stating such a simple fact in front of him and responding to him.
The young man was still dirty, and he stretched out his arms high to meet the morning light that was about to be born in the east, and a cheerful birdsong sounded from the branches of the trees in the garden.
"You're hungry, do you want to eat something first?" Feng Yu asked again.
The young man stretched his waist and regained his spirit, his eyes were bright, and his bird's nest-like messy hair was scratched casually, even if he combed his hair, the shabby clothes on his body had not been changed, but there was no smell.
"Senior brother, you look good here, but it's too dull, I walked around last night, although you look beautiful here, but like those bird cages I made, the birds live comfortably, and they won't fly after a long time, so I keep them in vain." As soon as the young man opened his mouth, he said a lot, and by the way, he complained, commented on the place where his senior brother lived, and rolled his eyes, saying that he didn't like it here.
Feng Yu liked his straightforward temperament, and bent the corners of his mouth.
He also said, "Jin Nian, if you are not used to living in it, I can find you a new house, but there is something I want to ask you, you must tell me in detail, do you remember the process of Master's poisoning?" ”
When the young man saw Feng Yu mention Master again, his bright eyes suddenly darkened, he tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "Master left a letter the day before saying that he would go out to meet someone and come back at night, let me not wait, and I waited and waited that night, but Master didn't come back, so I slept, and the next day Master didn't come back, I was about to look for it, and I saw Master come back, Master's face didn't seem to be very good, and when I came back, I wrote a lot of medicinal materials for me to find, and I didn't know a lot of them, so I went to the town pharmacy to ask, but there were no pharmacies in the town, so I went to the city again, The medicinal herbs that the master gave me had a few flavors in the pharmacy in the city, but it cost a lot of silver, but I didn't have it, and the boss didn't give it to me, so I said that he didn't give it, and said that I was a beggar, and let people blow it out. The boy hung his head, recalling the events of that day.
"When I came back, Master was already dying, he asked me to look for you, but you weren't there, Master said, That's right! Master left something for you. As the boy spoke, he remembered a lot.
"What is it?" Feng Yu hurriedly asked.
As he spoke, the boy began to grope for himself again, but there was nothing on him, nothing but a few blades of grass.
The boy himself was also in a hurry, and after groping for a long time he couldn't find it, and finally simply took off his shirt and turned over and over to find the mezzanine inside, but this time there was not even a blade of grass.
Feng Yu was stunned, and said slightly angrily: "Jin Nian, have you lost all the things that Master left me?" ”
"I, senior brother, I, don't be angry first, I'll look for it again, look for it again, I should have it on my body, why isn't it, strange, why not...... Suffered! ”
"What?" Feng Yu asked in surprise, some ominous premonition suddenly came, and he held his breath and waited for the young man's next words.
"Senior brother, when I came here, none of the people at the dock brought me over, so I had to, had to take advantage of their inattention to swim over, so, so, maybe, probably, maybe, maybe,......" the young man didn't dare to continue.
Feng Yu was stunned and glared at the young man.
The young man was most afraid of his eyes, and a cool air rose from the soles of his feet to his heart, and he was afraid that nervous emotions would come to his heart, so he shrank his shoulders and said carefully: "Senior brother, I'm sorry." ”
Feng Yu was exhausted, shook his head and said, "That's it, I'm sorry Master, it's none of your business." ”
Let him bear all the pain, it is he who failed to accompany the master, it is he who has to make meritorious achievements, it is he who exchanged his soldiers for this success, but he ended up being suspicious of the emperor and squeezed out by traitorous ministers, everything is because of himself, and no one else can be blamed.
Jin Nian panicked, his clear eyes overflowed with tears, and he hung his head and secretly hated himself.
He knelt down, knelt in front of him, and said, "Senior brother, it's my fault, you can punish me, beat me and scold me." ”
As he spoke, he slapped himself hard, followed by the second, third, and fourth......
"What do you do? It's none of your business, if I can go back and see Master, Master won't be poisoned like this! He also knelt down and swore to the sky: "I swear by Feng Yu that I will not find the murderer who poisoned my master and avenge my master, and I Feng Yu am willing to suffer from the thunder and thunder of the sky!" ”
"Senior brother!" The young man looked at his firm face in a daze, the once high-spirited person is now haggard like this, the senior brother who used to have a cheerful smile is now so gloomy and decadent, what has he experienced these days?
"Senior brother, don't be like this, we will definitely find the enemy and take revenge, but you are ...... now Senior brother, are you having a bad time, isn't it good here? The young man only knew that Feng Yu was not doing well, but he couldn't understand the world's intrigues.
Feng Yu shook his head, the pain in his heart was so suppressed that he was almost out of breath, he closed his eyes, and said weakly: "Let me be quiet." ”
......
Mu Yu, as usual, would go to the dock at noon every day to check on it, and at noon, everyone usually went back to rest, only some people stayed behind to guard. Mu Yu took the booklet from the steward's hand and checked it one by one to see if there were any errors or losses.
Donglin City is rich in coarse salt, tea, Mujia is mainly engaged in these two, in addition to silk, although the production of silk is not much, but also widely sold, and the silk weaving technology of Donglin City is also relatively developed.
But the Mu family is indeed a little worse than the Feng family. Donglin City pays attention to business, so it is the most respectful of business, and the Feng family is the leader, so this also means that the Feng family can walk sideways in this Donglin City, and the Mu family can contain the Feng family, of course, the Mu family also needs to use the power of the Chamber of Commerce, although the Feng family has always been reluctant to admit the existence of the Chamber of Commerce, but the Chamber of Commerce sincerely does things for the interests of the people, and has also won wide acclaim.
Therefore, Zhang Qinghu can use the name of Feng Huai, the head of the Feng family, to oppress the elders of the Chamber of Commerce, and Feng Huai's sister, who is also the fierce woman, can also ignore Feng Yu, a nominal courtier who has been excluded by the court.
Mu Yu carefully checked the booklet and the goods, and there was no leakage, and he didn't rest for a while until the inventory was completed, and while the work had not yet started, he casually lay on the recliner to rest.
I don't know how long it was, Mu Yu woke up from his sleep in a daze, itching between his snorts, and sneezed violently in impatience.
"Ahh
As soon as I opened my eyes, I was faced with a face that was magnified to a blur.
"What are you doing?"
