Chapter Forty-Six: A Chance Encounter in the Market
"Well, if that's the case, then who of you would like to go out with us?" Mu Yu asked.
The young women gathered together and discussed passionately for a while, until at last they all came up and said, "Girl, we are willing to go with you!" ”
When the men saw it, they all came to persuade them not to let them go. But as soon as the women said they wanted to go, their children followed suit. When the men saw this, they were dissuaded, but unfortunately the women were not gentle and declared very firmly that they wanted to go out into the outside world.
"Hey, how can this be, you girl's family, what are you calling when you run out?"
"My mother-in-law, don't go, I still need you to take care of the family, you are gone, what should we do at home?"
"Yunyun, don't go, the two of us are about to get married, you can't leave me......"
"Let's go, let's go together......"
"Xianggong, our children have to see the world, what can we do here for the rest of our lives? Why don't you go too, anyway, there is no one at home, and my parents-in-law are gone. ”
After discussing for a while, the voice gradually became quieter, Mu Yu looked at it, and it seemed that they had almost discussed it, so Mu Yu said, "Have you discussed it?" Who wants to come with us? ”
"Me!" A young and delicate woman stood first.
Then there was a succession of young women, then children, older girls, and young men......
Mu Yu counted, there were about fifty or sixty people in total.
"Is there anyone else?" After a while, no one responded, Mu Yu said: "If you figure it out, you can go to me at any time, and our Mu family will provide you with all convenience!" ”
Because it was getting late, Mu Yu, Feng Yu, and Jin Nian were temporarily staying in Lingmu Village tonight, and they also gave the villagers who were going out some time to prepare.
It wasn't until the second day, when the sun was high that more than fifty of them set out.
When her mother-in-law came to see them off, Mu Yu took her mother-in-law's hand and said, "Mother-in-law, you don't want to go out to live, in fact, you can go out to have fun and take a walk, I can take you to Donglin County for a walk." ”
"Ugh." The mother-in-law shook her head, "Let me tell you the truth, my body is getting worse and worse, and I don't want to walk that far, so let's talk about it when my body and bones are better." ”
"Mother-in-law, take care of yourself, don't get tired, just send it here, goodbye, mother-in-law."
"Hey, go slowly."
"Well, you can go back."
In this way, Mu Yu, Feng Yu, and Jin Nian brought these villagers out, and after entering Donglin County, they took them directly to the county king's mansion.
Those children were still afraid of life at first, but after getting along for a long time, they became very close to a big brother like Jin Nian, and as soon as they arrived at the county king's mansion, they pestered Jin Nian to take them out to play. And Jin Nian also seems to like children more, and is happy to take them out for a walk. Feng Yu ordered someone to arrange the villagers of Lingmu Village one by one, and gave them food, bedding and other supplies.
As soon as Feng Yu finished his work, a guard came from outside the door to report, saying that the Lord of Xinzhou City and Governor had a letter coming. The messenger was ushered into the hall and presented with a letter. Feng Yu took it apart and looked at it. The messenger said, "Lord of the county, my lord said that the holy decree will arrive in Donglin County in a few days, so that you can get ready." ”
"I see." Feng Yu answered, and said to his guard: "Take this messenger to rest and prepare some good tea." ”
But the messenger said, "Lord Yujun, the villain still has a task to do, and he can't delay it." ”
"Then let my guards send you off."
"Thank you, farewell."
Feng Yu reopened the letter and read it carefully, and after a while, he sighed leisurely, as if he was relieved and nervous.
He held the letter in the palm of his hand, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and saw that the garden outside the window was full of life, the sunlight was shining into the house through the treetops, and the finches were standing on the branches and "chirping", as if they were waiting and calling for the other half. He took a deep breath and barely managed to suppress the emotions in his heart.
I never thought that the extermination of Black Wind Village would bring such a big opportunity to myself. These days, how does he not want to return to the emperor to share his worries and solve problems for the emperor? Or is it to conquer the Quartet and lay more rivers and mountains for the Eastern Progressive Kingdom? But life is so wonderful, at the beginning he made military exploits, was named a general, and then was excluded and assigned to this Donglin County, and now because of his merit in exterminating the bandits, he is going to be recalled by the emperor again? He couldn't help himself.
......
Mu Yu had nothing to do, so he took the initiative to take a group of children to the street to play with Jin Nian, these children have lived and played in the mountains and forests since they were children, and they have never seen the unique bustle and prosperity of small towns, and the children are naturally curious about everything, so they feel special freshness here for a while.
As they walked, they came to the streets that the Mu family was tending to, and the market was more lively than before, with more and more customers, the men working harder and harder, and the stewards also raising their wages. Everything is going in a good direction.
While bringing the children here to play, Mu Yu asked about the situation of his own market in the past few days.
Passing by the Mu family's pharmacy, Mu Yu met an acquaintance, who was Zhang Qinghu's daughter-in-law.
Mu Yu always remembered her, and also remembered the scene when she was called a wild cat that day, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly: "Hey, you are also here, you buy medicine?" ”
Li Xiuxiu carried a small basket on her arm, followed by a little maid. Mu Yu could see that her complexion was obviously more haggard than last time, and her whole person was a little thinner.
"You're ......," she apparently recognized Mu Yu as well.
Mu Yu pursed his lips and nodded with a smile.
She hung her head, the bright sunlight shining on her lowered face, rendering her already pale as snow a half-light and half-dark halo, making her seem to be standing in the shadow behind the sun. After a while, I heard her sigh and murmur: "Qinghu's injury is not completely healed, and now he is sick again, and he talks ......nonsense all day long."
Mu Yu's smile froze and cooled, not knowing how to comfort him.
I saw her raise her eyes again, exposing a round eye to the sun, Mu Yu could see it very clearly, even her light brown pupils saw herself very clearly, she said: "I don't blame you, Qinghu has done a lot of bad things, I know it." She finally raised her face, her eyes were firm, she suddenly stretched out her right hand and gently stroked her lower abdomen, and Mu Yu found that her lower abdomen was already a little raised.
Mu Yu was stunned, she was sure that she had only seen her once, and the two didn't know each other, could it be that she already knew Mu Yu's identity? However, the person in front of her looked like a very ordinary woman......
Mu Yu was stunned, and didn't know how to answer, but it was the woman who said: "I often come to the Mu family's shop, and I've seen those guys call you Miss, so you must be the Miss of the Mu family." Her tone was affirmative, unhurried.
Only then did Mu Yu understand, it turned out to be ...... It's a pity that this woman is so smart and gentle, but she is committed to someone like Zhang Qinghu......
"You're a good person, I hope you're happy." Mu Yu held back for a long time, and finally could only say such a sentence.
"Hmm." Her eyes were not timid at all, and she looked straight into the depths of Mu Yu's pupils.
Mu Yu was in a daze, but when she came back to her senses, she found that the person in front of her had left for some time, and when she turned around, she saw her back, so petite and thin, but it was enough to shock Mu Yu.
A dirty little hand timidly grabbed the corner of Mu Yu's clothes, and the immature voice rolled into Mu Yu's ears like a heavenly sound, "Sister, let's go, everyone is waiting for you." ”
