Chapter 44: Fat girl, Tong Xiuxiu
Wandering away from the mountain, Mu Xiao climbed to the top to look, and the mountains near and far were already green. The free mountain peak looks a little bald, after all, this is a mudless mountain, which is also normal. But the valley behind this mountain gate may already be full of green trees, right?
Mu Xiao walked towards the mountain gate with some expectations, and Fu Shengsheng and Fu Hu seemed to be handing over in front. It seems that the free mountain guards the door and does not dare to relax for a moment, which is very good discipline.
"Brother Mu, you come!" Fu Shengsheng saw Mu Xiao coming, and hurriedly stepped to meet him. Fu Hu and the other guards on the side saluted together.
Mu Xiao greeted them with a smile and walked into the mountain gate with Fu Shengsheng, the free valley behind the mountain gate was really leafy, and the valley at a glance began to grow a little green spot in the neat and orderly medicine field. It seems that the medicinal seedlings that Lin Ye led them to transplant are surviving quite well, and they are beginning to sprout a little.
"Shengsheng, how are you doing these days?"
Although Mu Xiao was a little tired, he seemed to be much more relaxed when he entered here, and the true qi in his body seemed to recover much faster than outside.
Fu Shengsheng walked in front, threw the stone in his hand and said: "It's all good, it's just that I was busy transplanting medicinal seedlings during this time, and everyone was very busy, but it has been almost planted in the past few days, and the medicinal seedlings planted earlier have already lived." ”
It can be seen that now all are free of the mountain, although it is not as lively as before, but now the free valley is more like a fairyland on earth. When Mu Xiao returned here, he always had a feeling of peace and happiness. Is there a secret here? Or is it because the air is good?
"By the way, Brother Mu, Markham and his housekeeper have been here for two days, and they haven't left yet. Fu Shengsheng suddenly remembered and said.
"What are they coming for?"
Mu Xiao is also strange, now that the medicinal seedlings have just been transplanted, even the fastest finished herbs will be a few months later, not to mention the herbs that have been saved in the free mountain over the years, haven't they all been sold out a few days ago?
Fu Shengsheng thought for a moment and said, "I heard that I want to build a refining pharmacy for our clan." ”
Alchemy pharmacy?
Mu Xiao had thought about it, but the alchemy pharmacy needed to invest a lot of financial and material resources, and if there was no good alchemist, he might not be able to recoup his capital for a long time. Now the housekeeper of Wanjia Commercial Bank has come here and wants to build a refining pharmacy, what does this mean?
"Where are they, take me over to see, and what does the patriarch say?" Mu Xiao frowned and asked, it doesn't matter if it is free to help build, but if there are any conditions, then we have to talk about it.
Fu Shengsheng turned around and said: "I'll take you there, ask him yourself, we usually don't eavesdrop or figure out this kind of thing."
Well, why don't you come back to Zuimenglou to rest later, and find out what the situation is first, since there are people in the clan, it is estimated that the secret guards should not be trained, but why don't you see Zhu Tiegou and them? At this time, I happened to pass by Zuimenglou, and the door was closed and locked.
"Oh, the Zhu brothers, they went back to Fenglin yesterday. Fu Shengsheng looked at Mu Xiao standing in front of the Drunken Dream Building and was a little stunned, and stepped forward to say.
"Back to Fenglin?"
Didn't Feng Lin's hometown be ruined? What did the two of them do when they went back? Mu Xiao couldn't figure it out for a while.
Fu Shengsheng stopped, looked at Mu Xiao and said: "The Zhu brothers said that Qingming is coming He wants to go to a place called Liuli Mountain, and he said that it is your hometown, and you may not be able to go back now, so they want to go to sweep the tombs of the deceased on your behalf." ”
Knowing that Ah Du was clear, Mu Xiao looked up at the sky and held back his tears. No matter how the Zhu brothers know, the nameless village of Liulishan is their hometown, and the two brothers went back thousands of miles to sweep the tombs of their clansmen, and he was also moved in his heart.
I thought that I would rest here for a day or two, and I should go back to have a look, but when I went to Liaocheng in the future, I might not have so much time to go back.
"Let's go" Mu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and walked in the direction of Lin Ye's house. Fu Shengsheng was a little apprehensive at this time, and he stopped talking about it.
"Let's go, why are you stunned?" Mu Xiao patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
Fu Shengsheng broke away from Mu Xiao's hand and said, "Brother Mu, you better go by yourself, I'll go home and cook, you wait for me to eat at home!"
Fu Shengsheng rushed in the direction of his house as if fleeing for his life, leaving Mu Xiao shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "It's awkward again." ”
But think about it, Lin Yuyan's temper is too violent, and he can't stand it if he is himself, so it seems that he has to talk to her. Mu Xiao, a peacemaker, seemed to be guilty again, so he grabbed his belt and walked towards the Lin family.
Along the way, the people of the upper reaches of the tribe greeted him warmly, and Mu Xiao couldn't cope with it, but now it's okay, and he met Tong Youxian again.
This is the door of Tong's house, and Mu Xiao didn't pay attention to it when he passed by on weekdays. It's just that the two people in front of him seem to be a little similar in appearance, and even their figures are ......
"Mu Xiao, are you back, come to Uncle Tong's house to sit down, I also happened to come from Old Man Lin to discuss matters, and we are just looking for you." Tong Youxian stretched out his fat arms and made a gesture to catch the duck.
"Brother Mu Xiao, come in and sit down, you haven't been to our house yet, you only go to the Lin family every time, you can't be partial." Huh"
Without waiting for Mu Xiao to reply, a girl behind Tong Youxian who looked about the same as him was walking towards Mu Xiao enthusiastically at this time. The loose skirt still can't hide her support skirt and wants to get fat, and she is shaking her flesh when she walks. With a forehead band on his forehead, it looks like a big Buddha statue.
"Presumably you are Uncle Tong's daughter, Tong Xiuxiu's sister, right?"
Mu Xiao greeted him with a smile and asked in a low voice.
"It turns out that Brother Mu Xiao knows me, it's great. Don't be stunned, come in and sit and talk. Tong Xiuxiu heard Mu Xiao say her name, and she was even more excited at this time.
Mu Xiao thought to himself, I have to enter this door today, but I feel a little like wanting to enter the wolf's den, but of course I can't show it, and he coughed lightly and laughed: "It's okay, Uncle Tong is so enthusiastic, if I don't go in and disturb you, won't it be a shame to refute your face?"
"Well, that's right, isn't it? Since it's a family, don't be so polite, Xiuxiu, go and order the snacks on the hour. Tong Youxian said with a greasy smile.
"Uncle Tong is too polite" and he wants to drink and drink, this guy still wants to drink with himself? If he knew that he was not drunk at all, would he be so angry that he would hang himself?
"Mu Xiao, now the wandering clan is happy like a family, and you have a lot of credit here. ”
Tong Youxian held the wooden door with his hand, picked up a stone under the door panel with his feet, and nagged in his mouth, Mu Xiao has heard similar words here countless times, and he is not surprised.
When Tong Xiuxiu saw Mu Xiao enter the door, she took off the apron hanging at the door and tied it around her waist, swinging her body like a mountain into the room. To be honest, looking at the apron around her waist, Mu Xiao really couldn't hold back, and pretended to visit their house sideways, but actually snickered on the side. It was the first time he had seen someone wearing an apron as funny as a child wearing a belly pocket.
"Come on...... , Mu Xiao sit down, don't be polite at Uncle Tong's house, your aunt went out to plant medicinal seedlings today and didn't come back, the two of us have a good drink. Tong Youxian brought a chair and motioned for Mu Xiao to sit down, and slipped into the bedroom by himself.
"Uncle Tong is also a strict wife, haha," Mu Xiao quipped.
Tong Youxian came out of the bedroom with the wine jar in his arms, realized that he had leaked his mouth, and smiled embarrassedly: "What kind of wife is strict, your aunt is for my good, and now she is also a deacon in the clan, so you can't get drunk and go to do things for the clan! ”
Mu Xiao thought, seeing that you don't drink less on weekdays. Even the jar of wine was pulled out of the pile of clothes.
"Can you hold it back for a month?" Zhu Tiegou won't invite you to drink?" Mu Xiao looked at Tong Youxian with a smile on his face.
Tong Youxian made a shushing gesture, looked at the jingling kitchen vigilantly, and then turned around and whispered: "Don't say it, those two brothers really didn't hide it, although they said that there was a purpose for inviting me to drink, but I also have to admit it." ”
Is there a purpose for drinking? Mu Xiao really couldn't guess.
"That kid has a crush on my daughter, I know. Now I've figured it out, the conditions of our family's show, it's hard for others to pick. The two brothers are also free clansmen now, and if the real sickle can be good with Xiuxiu, I will admit it. Tong first grunted a bowl of wine and poured out his heart.
Mu Xiao was naturally very surprised when he heard this, Zhu Sickle and Tong Xiuxiu, these two people made do with each other, the style of painting is unprecedented, maybe there will be no one in the future. It's just that if it can be realized, I'm happy for them.
"It's just that some time ago, this Xiuxiu pestered Fu Shengsheng, didn't this make Lin Yuyan angry!
Tong Youxian had a pool of bitter water, and now he could only pour it to Mu Xiao. Her daughter has no looks, she is fat, and even her mother dislikes her like herself. Before the sickle came, Tong Youxian had no hope that his daughter would start a family in the future.
"Uncle Tong, I think it, the two of them still want you and me to be together, and you don't interfere too much" Mu Xiao told the truth, if Tong Xiuxiu was not happy, don't force her to marry Zhu Yaodao.
"I know this, I want to wait for Zhu Sickle to come back and have a good talk with him, and before that, I will also have a good look at Xiu Xiu's style and come to drink. Tong Youxian picked up the wine bowl and put it down, and shouted towards the room: "Xiu, why has it been so long, the wine is almost finished." ”
"That, Uncle Tong is not in a hurry. Mu Xiao thought, anyway, they all came in, so let's first inquire whether the housekeeper of Wanjia Commercial Bank came here and really wanted to build a refining pharmacy.
At this time, there was a sound in the room, the sound of cold water boiling hot pot, and then Tong Xiuxiu walked out with a pot of rabbit meat: "Here comes Dad." ”
Fortunately, the apron had been taken off, otherwise Mu Xiao was not sure if he could hold back his laughter. It's not how bad his heart is, but some scenes that make people laugh.
"This is a rabbit that the sickle brought the day before yesterday, and I have been salting it for a day and a night. Brother Mu Xiao, dad try it. ”
Tong Xiuxiu smiled and put the plate on the table, and the fragrance of the stir-fry was bursting. Mu Xiao took a small piece and tasted it carefully. The meat is tender in the mouth, and the taste is quite delicious, and there is no even a sassy taste.
"That's good, this scythe is really good, and I'll give you a rabbit. Mu Xiao glanced at Tong Xiuxiu between words, this fat girl was a little shy, what is the situation. Mu Xiao swallowed the rabbit meat, and then said: "But Xiuxiu girl, your skills are really good, wait for the sickle to come back, let him be responsible for fighting, you will be responsible for doing it, and we will eat it again." ”
"Okay, that, you drink slowly, I'll find my mother to work" Tong Xiuxiu was so shy that she walked away under the pretext, leaving the two of them laughing at the table.
It seems that Zhu Sickle and Tong Xiuxiu may really be able to have a play, which is a happy thing.
