Chapter 6: Blessings and Misfortunes
This turmoil ended with Mu Duo making great concessions, but after this incident, Mu Yuze reacquainted himself with his father. The father, who was already very proud in his heart, has become a role model in Xiao Yuze's heart.
"Xin'er, if we see Mu Zihao's group again in the future, we will stay far away, okay?"
Mu Yuze scraped Mu Yuxin's little nose with his fingers and said.
"Okay, I don't want my brother to fight for me anymore. ”
Mu Yuxin leaned on Yu Ze and said, innocent.
"Yuxin, Yuze, let's go to the county seat tomorrow to dispose of these handicrafts. ”
Mu Duo said.
"Wow that's great, I can eat rock sugar gourds again, giggle???"
Mu Yuxin jumped happily.
"Silly boy, it's like you never get enough to eat. ”
Mu Duo touched Mu Yuxin's head and said.
"Xin'er, when my brother earns a lot of money in the future, I will buy you all the sugar gourds back so that you can eat enough. ”
Mu Yuze is happiest that he can see Mu Yuxin's kind of happiness even if he is simply satisfied, and secretly vows in his heart to take care of and protect his sister from any harm with his life.
"Thank you, brother, brother is the most handsome. ”
Mu Yuxin was grateful and excited, and felt extremely happy.
"Master, do you want me to go with you?"
Yellow Leopard asked, Mu Yuze.
"No, just stay at home, my dad and I have walked this road many times, it doesn't matter. ”
Mu Yuze responded.
At dusk, the people of Mujia Village have already fallen asleep, this is a village that sleeps early. However, Mu Duo's family was full of energy and did not have a trace of fatigue, because they had to take things to the county seat early tomorrow morning to sell them so as not to be discovered by others, so they could only set off in the middle of the night.
"Dad, be careful on the road. ”
Ji Shulan instructed.
"It's okay, damn it. ”
Mu Duo is always very gentle in front of Ji Shulan.
Because Mujia Village is backed by the mountains, the temperature in the middle of the night is unusually low, although Mu Duo and his son are wearing relatively thick clothes, but they still can't resist the invasion of the cold, so that Mu Yuxin shivered.
"Xin'er, come, come to Dad's place and I'll give you warmth. ”
Although the mink coat worn by Mu Duo is a long time ago, it was sewn by Ji Shulan herself, so it is still warm.
Under the cover of the night, the whereabouts of Mu Duo's father and son did not attract too much attention from others, and they finally came to Li Xi City, which belongs to Zhenyang County of the Heavenly Blessing Empire, and the Zhenzhou continent is vast, whether it is the name of the country or the name of the city, it is named after the name of the person who dominates the country or the city.
It is said that the Zhenzhou Continent was named after Liu Zhenzhou, the name of a strong man, and this Liu Zhenzhou is a genuine scholar and a strong man, smiling proudly. However, this existence is undoubtedly an unattainable myth for Mu Yuze.
"Old Mu, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here today? ”
I only saw the middle-aged appearance of the person who spoke, but the skin on his face looked much rougher in the wind and sun. Patrolling down, a pair of calloused hands resemble tree bark, which is naturally visible to the hardships of the lives of people living at the bottom.
"Lao Yang, isn't this the one who came here when the goods are available, otherwise who would have the leisure to visit the county seat elegantly." ”
Mu Duo smiled.
"Who are these two children?"
This person, known as Lao Yang, was originally named Yang Hui, and he was also a carpenter.
"Oh, you see I forgot to introduce for a while, these are my two children, Yu Ze and Yu Xin. ”
Being reminded by Yang Hui like this, Mu Duo suddenly said quickly.
"Your child, I'm afraid I've had a lot of cold with you in the morning. ”
Yang Hui stared at Mu Yuxin, who was purple-faced, and said, his words couldn't help but reveal a touch of unbearability, but there was nothing he could do about this Mu Duo, who had a similar fate to himself.
"Yu Ze and Yu Xin came to say hello to their uncle. ”
Although Mu Duo is not deeply educated, he still attaches great importance to some of the most basic etiquette common sense.
"Hello uncle. ”
Mu Yuze and Mu Yuxin bowed and shouted in unison.
"Okay, good, really good, old pastor, you are really blessed to have two children who are so sensible. Come, Uncle will give you money to sell sugar gourds to eat. ”
Saying that, Yang Hui touched around from his pocket for a while, and finally touched a few copper coins and stretched them out in his hand.
"Uncle, my mother doesn't want me to take other people's things, you can take them back. ”
When Mu Yuxin heard this, she couldn't help but feel that she took a few steps back and said politely.
"This ???"
Yang Hui's calm face just now showed a slight hint of embarrassment, and he was a little embarrassed when he looked at the few cold copper coins on his palms that were in mid-air.
"Yes, uncle, take it back, it's not easy for you, it's not that we dislike it, it's just that my mother often says that everyone's life is not easy, so don't let us take other people's things casually, uncle's heart I and my sister received. ”
seemed to see Yang Hui's embarrassment, and Mu Yuze took the first step.
"Child, your father and I are both embarrassed people, I don't want you to be so sensible, but the first time we meet Uncle is not much, these three copper coins should be a little bit of Uncle's heart, if you don't accept it, Uncle will not feel good in his heart." ”
Yang Hui's boring face suddenly showed a touch of luster, and he inadvertently thought of a sentence that said: The children of the poor are in charge early.
"What do you see, Dad?"
Seven-year-old Mu Yuze obviously didn't know what to do at this time, so he turned his head and begged his father Mu Duo for help.
"Uncle has a heart, then you can accept it. ”
Mu Duo also understands the truth, courtesy is light and affectionate, and I am afraid it will not be good to make excuses again.
"Then thank you, uncle, in that case, I'll take one is enough, Xin'er likes to eat sugar gourds, but I don't eat much. ”
As he spoke, Mu Yuze stretched out his young and mellow hand and took a copper coin from Yang Hui's hand, and then closed Yang Hui's lying fingers, wrapping the remaining two copper coins in it.
"Okay, you take Xin'er to buy sugar gourds, pay attention to safety, and then come back early, and when you come back, I should sell these things out." ”
The priest admonished.
"Yes, Dad. ”
Anyway, Mu Yuze is still a child, and he is naturally very happy to hear that he can go to play. Then the little hand holding Mu Yuxin's flesh disappeared from view.
"Old Yang, why do you bother to break the bank?"
Seeing that the two brothers and sisters who were as cheerful as two little birds were gone, they whispered to Yang Hui.
"Oh, don't say it, I have a special affection for these two children, the two of them can accompany you to brave the cold for such a long time on the mountain road, just this quality, I like it very much, but I have such a little thing on me, hey. ”
Listening to Yang Hui's tone change from happy to lamenting, Mu Duo was also sad for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little lonely, as if he was inferior when he had no money.
"Sold stools???
After a moment of silence, Yang Hui began to shout, but passers-by did not seem to have any intention of wanting to buy something because of this. On the contrary, there was an endless stream of people who didn't know how to shout Mu Duo's handmade products came to buy them, and soon there were only some relatively large ones left.
"Old Mu, you still have the ability, the things are almost sold out so quickly, and you still don't shout at all, unlike my dry mouth, so you sold three small stools. ”
Showing a hint of envy, Yang Hui said.
"Brother, I really don't know how to shout, I'm ashamed. ”
Listening to Yang Hui's words, Mu Duo could only sneer, but he couldn't see the slightest trace of delicate pretentiousness in Mu Duo's eyes.
"But it doesn't matter, as long as the thing is good, this quality is the most effective shouting. ”
Yang Hui also knew that Mu Duo was not lying, so he comforted.
"Brother, give you one. ”
The first thing Mu Yuxin thought of when she got the sugar gourd was Mu Yuze.
"Yes, it's delicious. ”
Mu Yuze, a hungry tiger pounced on food, pulled down the other, put it in his mouth, couldn't wait to eat, and said contentedly.
"Hee-hee"
Seeing that her brother was so happy to eat, Mu Yuxin also ate one.
"Brother has another one. ”
Saying that, Mu Yuxin handed over the sugar gourd.
"Don't do it, keep Xin'er for her brother to eat enough. ”
Although Mu Yuze said that he had eaten enough, the harazi that flowed out of the innermost part would not lie.
"Brother can't fool Xin'er, you're drooling, giggles. ”
Mu Yuxin covered her mouth and smiled.
"Brother, this is soured. ”
Saying that, Mu Yuze wiped away the saliva that betrayed him with his hand.
"Okay, then Xin'er will eat it all. ”
Mu Yuxin didn't want her brother to be soured again.
"Dad, we're back. ”
As he spoke, he had returned to Mu Duo's stall, and Mu Yuze shouted at Mu Duo that he was very happy.
"Have fun?"
Yang Hui asked.
"Have fun, Uncle will give you one. ”
Mu Yuxin is always happy to share happiness with others, no matter how much happiness she has.
"Yes, it's delicious. ”
Yang Hui likes this kind of simple child without a trace of dirt.
"Dad, let's have one. ”
Mu Yuxin sent a sugar gourd directly to Mu Duo's mouth.
"Thank you, Xin'er. ”
Mu Duo's unprovoked humor immediately heated up this already warm scene.
"How much does this lotus root cost?"
Just when everyone was happily getting carried away, there was a person standing in front of the booth, this person had a handsome face and luxurious clothes, and at a glance he knew that he was from a rich family.
"The young master is really good eyesight, this wood-carved lotus root has taken a lot of time for the villain, and it is worth a silver coin. ”
Mu Duo said, the joy in his heart is naturally uncontrollable, as long as this last handicraft is sold, he can go home today.
"Okay, I want it, where's the housekeeper?"
It turned out that this son was Li Luo, the son of the current city lord.
"Here comes the young master. ”
Saying that the person who was called the housekeeper was called Ning Zhiyuan, and he gave Mu Duo a silver coin, and the attitude of not caring at all was simply very chic
"You put it away. ”
Mu Yuxin handed the woodcarved lotus root to the housekeeper Ning Zhiyuan.
"Young Master?"
After putting away the lotus root, Ning Zhiyuan, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly saw Li Luo, who was looking at Mu Yuxin in a daze, and exclaimed.
"I bought this girl and asked her to be my sister, but I happen to be a sister. ”
Looking at Mu Yuxin's slender hands, her delicate and clear skin, and the pink pink is so small that it is so pitiful, if she grows up, she will definitely be a beauty embryo.
"What? This is my daughter. ”
Mu Duo was stunned, terrified, and couldn't believe it was true.
"Daddy?"
Mu Yuxin was frightened and cried when she heard this, and hugged Mu Yuze tightly without letting go.
"I know this, but look at you are so poor, how do you raise your daughter, I will not treat her badly as my sister. ”
It seems that Li Luo, who is only about ten years old, is so domineering when he speaks.
"Here, this is a gold coin, but look at you so pitiful, you can see my sister once a year in the future, by the way, what's your name?"
This city lord's son is really domineering, what is the difference between this and robbery.
"Brother"
"Yuxin"
When did the brother and sister see this scene, they were already frightened and shrunk together.
"Do it, what are you waiting for?"
Ning Zhiyuan didn't have the effort, so he directly ordered his entourage.
Despite the best efforts of Mu Duo's father and son, they were still unable to defeat those Li Luo's men, and Mu Yuxin was taken away in this way.
"Settle down, otherwise don't want to see Yuxin again. ”
Li Luo learned Yu Xin's name from Mu Yuze's mouth, and said it so brazenly.
"Xin'er?"
Holding the remaining half of the sugar gourd in his hand, Mu Yuze beat his chest and stroked his heart with both hands, half kneeling on the ground and crying.
"Huh?"
As if sensing something, the yellow leopard flew out as if it were flying.
"What's wrong, Yellow Leopard?"
Although Ji Shulan also felt a tightness in her chest, she was uneasy when she saw the yellow leopard acting like this.
"I felt a strong pain in the owner, the owner was in trouble. ”
The next sentence was that the figure of the yellow leopard had already disappeared.
