Chapter 262: Waiting
"Mother-in-law, I didn't understand a word of what you said, Mantou didn't understand a word." The steamed bun was completely attracted by the content of the old woman's speech, but Taro paid more attention to the old woman's sudden speech.
After the old woman was taken back to the mountains by Yue Gu and others, her body gradually recovered, but her words were still the same, she still never made eye contact with people, and many times she was like air.
Yue Gu and the others also slowly got used to her taciturn, not only did they not drive her away, but completely accepted her as time passed.
Although the old woman couldn't do physical work, didn't know medical skills, and couldn't help Yue Gu get a source of livelihood, her skillful hands quietly changed everyone's lives.
First of all, the old woman's cooking skills were very good, and everyone was full of praise for it, and it didn't take long for everyone to gain weight.
Especially the two foodies, Mo Xi and Mantou, one big and one small, immersed in the world of food, once couldn't extricate themselves, obviously just finished eating, thinking about what to eat next.
Not only the cooking skills, but also the female workers of the old woman have been praised all the time. No one knows how she knows everyone's size, but it's so strange that the shoes she makes fit just right, the handkerchief she the same size as the original, and the clothes she makes fit perfectly.
The surprising appropriateness, exquisite technique, and comfortable feeling made everyone more and more curious about the old woman's life experience.
Curiosity is curiosity, but no one has ever opened their mouths to ask a trace of relevant questions to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
The days passed like this, and finally one day because of Mo's departure, some changes occurred, but life was still very peaceful.
Until one night five days ago, the four of them who had dinner were in the same room doing their own business. The old woman's hand sewing the sachet suddenly stopped, she raised her head and looked at the three people in front of her, her face solemn.
"Little Steamed Bun~"
"Huh? Did someone call me just now? The old woman never opened her mouth to call anyone, so much so that the steamed bun was mistaken for her own delusion.
"Little steamed bun~" The old woman spoke again.
"Ahh It turned out to be my mother-in-law, you were calling me! What's wrong? Mother-in-law~" Mantou happily ran to the old woman.
The old woman did not dodge her eyes and avoid the gaze of the steamed bun as she did on weekdays, but looked directly at the big eyes of the steamed bun.
Not only taro, but even Yue Gu was extremely surprised to see her behaving like this, and just when the master and apprentice were still speculating about why she would change her usual behavior, the old woman pleaded: "We must quickly pack up our things and get out of here!" Her tone was so serious, anxious, and at the same time mixed with unknown emotions.
"Mother-in-law! Why are we leaving here now? Look! It's dark outside, where are we now? Mantou didn't realize that something was wrong, and his attention was all on the old woman's words.
"Old Doctor Yue, taro, steamed buns, you have to believe me, I will never harm you! If you don't leave, you're all in danger! The old woman stood up excitedly, and she skipped the question of steamed buns.
The three masters and apprentices looked at each other, Yue Gu saw that the old woman didn't seem to be messing around, but there was no evidence to prove that what she said was true, he was thinking about asking the old woman to give a reason that could convince him.
"I don't have time to explain it to you right now, and when it's safe, I'll tell you everything as it is, trust me! I really won't hurt you! Hurry up and pack your things and let's go! The old woman's sincere expression made everyone feel that the unfamiliar voice was very moving.
