"So, what do you want to do?" Yi Fan looked at him curiously.

Li Mu scratched his chin, "At least four words have to be done to get ahead." ”

"It doesn't seem easy, right?" Yi Fan said. Li Mu knew his temperament and quipped: "You are now a man worth six thousand taels of gold." If you want to get ahead, it's very simple. ”

Clinker Yi Fan sighed, looking very melancholy. This attitude surprised Li Muqi, "Eh, what's your situation?"

"Li Mu, you won't understand my current mood. Yi Fan took a deep breath. "In the past, I was really scared. My father died young, and my mother was too weak to work. Although there is money and relief sent by the gang, most of them are for my mother to buy medicine, and when it is serious, I don't even have money for food, I just want to try my best to find some way to get money. Hearing Yi Fan talk about the past, Li Mu also put away his laughter.

"Now, now that it's natural, I can't change the habit of trying to make money in every possible way. What makes me even more speechless is that I have money now but I don't know how to spend it. Yi Fan shrugged.

"If you don't mind...... Li Mu said very seriously, "I can help you think of a way." ”

"Huh?" Yi Fan also smoothed his mouth when he heard Li Mu say this, "What's the way?"

"That...... Aren't you trying to pursue Jiang Chengxue?" Li Mu asked with a smile. "You have a lot of competitors, and if you can't use your strength, it's a good idea to try gold and silver. ”

Yi Fan's eyes lit up, but soon turned disdainful: "Come on, Chengxue is not the kind of girl who loves money." ”

"Or you lend me some money first. Li Mu said again.

Yi Fan subconsciously tightened his package and asked cautiously, "How much to borrow?"

"I don't borrow much, one hundred and eighty taels. ”

"Gold?"

"Silver two...... I can't afford gold. ”

"What are you borrowing it for?"

"Don't you know how to spend money? I'll help you. Li Mu said with a smile.

Yi Fan gave him a blank look and took out a silver ticket from the Four Seas Money Bank. "I'll have one hundred and eighty taels, and I'll give you one hundred taels. Li Mu stretched out his hand to take it, patted Yi Fan's shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up. "The owner is atmospheric. ”

"Cut, I lent it to you for your brother's sake. I didn't give anyone but the helper. You are the second. Yi Fan said, as if he suddenly remembered something. "Oh, and that cold gourd. This guy has to keep some for him, too. I don't know if he arrived at Kongoji Temple. ”

"It's time to arrive. Hearing Yi Fan mention the King Kong Temple, Li Mu was worried about the group who went to the King Kong Temple. Calculating the time, if they go well, they should have reached the boundary of Luzhou. With the protection of King Kong Temple, it should be no problem whether it is Leng Zizhou or Li Li's family......

Yi Fan nodded, "Eh, Leng Hulu, although he speaks coldly, his heart is not bad." ”

"yes. Li Mu also nodded.

"In the woods where the beasts are infested, I could have died without him. Yi Fan sighed. Li Mu's heart moved, and he said, "If you ask, you will be sloppy, and you won't tell me what happened?"

"That's it, kill the beast and find a way to survive. That's all. What kind of flowers can you say?" Yi Fan waved his hand, "Forget it, leave him alone." Let's go, Uncle Zou should be about the same. ”

"Well, good. Li Mu put away the silver ticket and said, "You go to the Snake Gang first, I have a special identity now, I'm afraid I will have to go back to the Dongshan County Mansion at night." ”

"Hmm. Yi Fan nodded, picked up the package and prepared to go out.

"That's right. Li Mu stopped him, "Do you remember that in the Linhu Temple in Lizhou, the county lord of Huanting and the eldest lady of the Huang family?"

Yi Fan paused, and a fire appeared in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "How could you not remember?" At that time, he went to Lijiang County with Li Mu, and Li Mu asked Yi Fan to come back alone in order to find Turtle Island in Jinghu. As a result, Yi Fan collided with the car of Lord Huanting and Miss Huang on the shore, and was blocked by the Huang family's guest grandson Oolong, and was treated as subordinates by the two and the maids who served them, which can be said to be tortured. Although the incident was settled when Yue Yefeng came forward at the beginning, even now, when he mentioned this matter, Yi Fan still had endless hatred.

"I'm afraid you'll have to be careful. The eldest lady of the Huang family came to Yacheng, and the county lord of Wanting was the daughter of the king of Dongshan County. Now that I am a doorman in the palace of Dongshan County, the county lord of Huanting actually mentioned you. Li Mu recalled the way Lord Huanting spoke.

Yi Fan said coldly: "What? What else does she want to do to me? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will find a killer of the Thousand Thirty-two Levels to kill her!"

"That'...... Not for the time being. I guess her main purpose is to beat me. But I'm very strange, the county lord's behavior seems to be very perverse, and I can't see through her a little. Li Mu touched his chin, "That's why I remind you to be careful." ”

"Hey, Li Mu, I'm not convinced. Those two biaos better stop provoking me, or I'll really do anything. Yi Fan stared at Li Mu and said very seriously.

Li Mu had seen Yi Fan's fierce appearance in Linhu Temple at that time. The more heartless people are on weekdays, after they really anger him, his anger is afraid that it will be monstrous and devour people to the bone. Yi Fan is not joking when he says such things now.

Li Mu comforted: "Don't worry, if they really want to deal with you, I will be the first to refuse." ”

"Hey. It's a bit of a brother. Yi Fan laughed.

Li Mu also smiled, "That's nature." I'm leaving. ”

"Okay, you can go. Yi Fan waved his hand.

The two said goodbye in the main hall of the Da Kun Gang, and then Li Mu went to Zhengdong Zhenfang without stopping.

When the time came, the sun shone on the fruit tree street, and the thick shade under the fruit trees on the street gave a smell of summer. Li Mu took a deep breath, and his mood calmed down inexplicably.

Li Mu walked on Guoshu Street, and everything in front of him was still a familiar scene. He went straight to the door of Lai Yunjun's small courtyard, and when he looked up, the red apricot that came out of the wall did not poke his head out again. Li Mu was slightly stunned, smiled and knocked on the door.

"Who?" a female voice came from inside, and the next moment, the door opened. Li Mu was surprised to find that the person who opened the door was not Lai Yunjun, but Wu Jiao. Wu Jiao is the daughter of Uncle Wu in the neighborhood of Guoshu Street, she glanced Li Mu up and down, and then said in surprise: "Li Xi?"

Hearing this name, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was the pseudonym he used when he lived with Lai Yunjun before. Li Mu, who reacted, nodded, and then smiled: "Why is Sister Jiao here?"

In fact, Wu Jiao and Li Mu were about the same age, but Shen Li called Sister Jiao at the time, and Li Mu followed.

Hearing Li Mu's question, a red cloud rose on Wu Jiao's face. She replied with some hesitation, "Well, I live here now." ”

"Huh?" Li Mu raised his eyebrows, and a happy smile appeared on his face, "Are you married to Brother Lai?"

"Hmm. Wu Jiao lowered her head, and her voice was as thin as a gnat.

Li Mu clapped his hands and jumped up, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing." Ah, it's a pity I didn't make it to your wedding. Oh, and so is Azusa. "At the beginning, Lai Yunjun was forced to withdraw from the marriage by Zhuang Xiaozi, which caused a lot of turmoil. The feud between Li Mu and Xu Hu was also concluded in this way. Now hearing that Lai Yunjun and Wu Jiao are married, Li Mu is really happy for them.

"My husband has gone out to teach, and he won't be back until about Shen. Brother Li, you sit down first, and I'll pour you a cup of tea. Wu Jiao got up and walked to the back room.

Li Mu sat on the stone bench and looked at the two wings on the left and right. Last year, he and Shen Li lived here, and Leng Zizhou was in the opposite room. Coupled with Yi Fan, who comes to talk nonsense from time to time, it was really a relaxing and enjoyable time.

His gaze wandered to the grape trellis. Looking at it, Li Mu remembered another thing. This incident has always been pressed in his heart, but he has never forgotten it. What Wang Dali did to him at the beginning, not only fanned the flames in front of Ning Zhitong, but also stepped on himself under his feet. Thinking of this, Li Mu still never let go. This revenge is always avenged when there is a chance.

However, what makes Li Mu more concerned now is the news that Ning Xibai is dying. When he heard about it from the people of the Grandmaster Hall earlier, he was shocked. And now he doesn't accept this fact either. After all, he is from Shengzhou, and he is in the same county as the Ning family. When I was a child, I listened to Ning Xibai's name, and its influence was naturally very far-reaching.

Ning Xibai's injuries in Jinghu were really so serious? Or was there something else wrong with this matter? Li Mu fell into recollection.

Not long after, Wu Jiao came out with a cup of tea. Tea is not a good tea, but it has its own fragrance.

Li Mu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and took out the silver ticket given by Yi Fan from his arms. "Gee, I'm so guilty of not making it to your wedding. When I came to Yacheng, it was all because my eldest brother gave me a place to live. Think of this as a late gift. With that, Li Mu handed the silver ticket to Wu Jiao.

Wu Jiao has never seen the silver ticket of Sihai Qianzhuang, but she is also literate. The four big characters of Sihai Qianzhuang were written on it, plus the words one hundred and two, and she quickly reacted. "No, no, no, Li Xi, this is too precious. I can't ask for it. ”

"No, no, sister-in-law, you take it. Li Mu changed his words, "If this is my little heart, if you don't accept me, you can't go in your heart." Although Li Mu was holding Yi Fan's silver to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, his intention was real. Lai Yunjun has a close relationship with the banker, and the banker doesn't mind bailing him out all the time. But with his temperament, I'm afraid he won't accept the banker's relief anymore after he divorces.

A scholar like Lai Yunjun, unless he is admitted to the imperial examination, it is difficult to make a lot of money. Li Mu is also thinking about Lai Yunjun's life.
