Chapter 44 Fat Girl, Tong Xiuxiu
On the free mountain, Mu Xiao climbed to the top to look at the mountains. The mountains far and near were already green. The free mountain peaks looked a little bald. After all, this is a mud-free mountain peak, which is normal. But the valley behind the mountain gate may be full of green trees, right?
Mu Xiao was looking forward to walking towards the mountain gate. Fu Shengsheng and Fu Hu seemed to be handing over in front. It seemed that Youli Mountain guarded the gate and did not dare to relax for a moment. This is a very good discipline.
"Brother Mu, come!" Fu Shengsheng saw Mu Xiao coming, and quickly stepped forward to meet him. Fu Hu, who was standing beside him, saluted with other guards.
Mu Xiao smiled and greeted them, and walked into the mountain gate with Fu Shengsheng. The free valley behind the mountain gate was indeed full of lush leaves. Looking at the valley, the neat and orderly medicine fields began to grow green spots. It seemed that the seedlings that Master Lin led them to transplant were quite good to survive and began to sprout.
"Shengsheng, how are you all these days?"
Although Mu Xiao was a little tired, he seemed to feel much more relaxed when he entered here, and the true energy in his body seemed to recover much faster than outside.
Fu Shengsheng walked in front, threw stones in his hand and said, "It's all good. It's just that I'm busy transplanting seedlings during this period. Everyone is very busy, but I've been planted almost all these days. The seedlings planted earlier have already survived."
It can be seen that all the mountains are now wandering. Although they are not as lively as before, they are now wandering valleys are more like fairylands on earth. When Mu Xiao returns here, he always feels calm and happy. Is there any secret here? Or is the air good?
"By the way, Brother Mu, Wan Jin and his housekeeper have been here for two days and have not left yet." Fu Shengsheng suddenly remembered and said.
"What are they doing?"
Mu Xiao was also surprised that the seedlings had just been transplanted, and even the fastest finished herbs would take a few months. Besides, the herbs that have been preserved in the leisure mountain over the years have been sold out a few days ago?
Fu Shengsheng thought for a while and said, "I heard that he wanted to build an alchemy for our tribe."
Pharmacy?
Mu Xiao had thought that it was just that the pharmacy needed to invest a lot of financial resources and material resources, and if there was no good alchemist, he might not be able to make up his capital for a long time. Now the housekeeper of Wanjia Trading Company came here to build an alchemy. What does this mean?
"Where are they? Take me over and see what the patriarch says?" Mu Xiao frowned and asked. It doesn't matter if he helped build for free, but if there are any conditions, he needs to have a good talk.
Fu Shengsheng turned around and said, "I'll take you there and ask him yourself. We usually don't eavesdrop on or guess what happened like this."
Well, I might as well come back to Zui Meng Tower to rest later. Let’s figure out what’s going on first. Since someone from the clan came, the secret guards probably had no training, but why didn’t Zhu Tiegou and the others see him? At this time, he happened to pass by Zui Meng Tower, the door was closed and locked.
"Oh, the Zhu brothers, I went back to Fenglin yesterday." Fu Shengsheng looked at Mu Xiao standing in front of Zui Meng Tower and was a little stunned, and went forward and said.
"Read Fenglin?"
Wasn’t Fenglin’s hometown destroyed? What did they do when they went back? Mu Xiao couldn’t figure it out for a while.
Fu Shengsheng stopped and looked at Mu Xiao and said, "Brothers Zhu said that Qingming Festival is coming soon. He wants to go to a place called Liulishan. He said that it is your hometown and you may not be able to go back now, so they want to go on your behalf to sweep the graves for the deceased people."
When Abdu was Qingming, Mu Xiao looked up at the sky and refused to let his tears stay. No matter how the Zhu brothers knew, Liulishan Wuming Village was his hometown. The brothers traveled thousands of miles to visit the graves for the tribe members, and he was also moved.
I thought I would take a day or two here, and it was time for me to go back and take a look. When I go to Liaocheng in the future, I might not have so much time to go back.
"Let's go" Mu Xiaosong breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Master Lin's house. Fu Shengsheng became a little nervous at this time and hesitated but stopped.
"Let's go! Why are you standing there?" Mu Xiao patted his shoulder and smiled.
Fu Shengsheng broke away from Mu Xiao's hand and said, "Brother Mu, you'd better go by yourself. I'll go home to cook. Wait for my house to have dinner!"
Fu Shengsheng rushed towards his home as if he was running for life, leaving Mu Xiao to shake his head and smile bitterly: "I'm having a quarrel again."
But thinking about it, Lin Yuyan's temper is too violent, and he wouldn't be able to stand it. It seems that he has to talk to her well. Mu Xiao, a peacemaker, seems to be offending again, so he held his belt and walked towards the Lin family.
Along the way, the free people greeted him warmly, and Mu Xiao couldn't handle it. Now that he was fine, he met Tong Youxian again.
This is the doorstep of the Tong family. Mu Xiao doesn't pay attention when he passes by. But the two people in front of him seem to have a bit similar appearance, even their figures...
"Mu Xiao? Are you back? Come and come to Uncle Tong's house to sit down. I happened to discuss things from Old Man Lin. We are just looking for you." Tong Youxian stretched out his fat arms and made a request to drive the duck.
"Brother Mu Xiao, come in and have a seat. You have never been to our house yet. Every time I only go to the Lin family, you can't be biased. Haha."
Before Mu Xiao could reply, a girl behind Tong Youxian, who looked almost as similar to him, was walking towards Mu Xiao enthusiastically. The loose big skirt could not hide her fatness in her support skirt. When she walked, she was shaking her body. She had a forehead strap on her forehead, which looked like a big Buddha statue.
"I guess you are the daughter of Uncle Tong, and the girl Tong Xiuxiu?"
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 stand there and come in and sit and chat." Tong Xiuxiu was even more excited when she heard Mu Xiao say his name.
Mu Xiao thought to himself, I have to enter the door today, but I feel a little like I want to enter the wolf's nest? But of course I can't show it. He coughed and laughed, "Okay, Uncle Tong is so enthusiastic. If I don't go in and bother me, wouldn't it be a refutation of your face?"
"Oh, this is right, right? Since it's a family, don't be so polite. Xiuxiu, go and order the food." Tong Youxian said with a greasy smile on his face.
"Uncle Tong is so polite." He still has to make up the food and drinks. This guy wants to drink with him? If he knew that he was not drunk at all, would he be so angry that he would hang himself?
"Mu Xiao, now the free people are happy like a family. You have made a lot of contributions here."
Tong Youxian held the wooden door with his hands, lifted a stone on his feet and placed it under the door panel, and was nagging. Mu Xiao has heard similar words here countless times, and he is no longer 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 like a mountain to enter the kitchen. To be honest, looking at her waist, Mu Xiao couldn't help it. She turned her head and pretended to visit their house, but was actually laughing a little. It was the first time he saw someone wearing an apron as funny as a child wearing a bellyband.
"Come on..., Mu Xiao sit down. Don't be polite at Uncle Tong's house. Your aunt went out to plant seedlings today and didn't come back. Let's have a good drink." Tong Youxian pulled a chair and signaled Mu Xiao to sit down and slipped into the bedroom by himself.
"Uncle Tong is also a wife who is strict in control, haha," Mu Xiao joked.
Tong Youxian came out of the bedroom with a wine jar in his arms, realizing that he had let go, and smiled awkwardly: "Wife is strict, your aunt is for my own good. Now, no matter how you say it is, you are a deacon in the clan. You can't go to do things for the clan when you get drunk! It's nothing to do today, just drink a bowl. You don't know, I've been holding it in for more than a month."
Mu Xiao thought, seeing that you have been drinking a lot of secretly on weekdays, even the wine jar is taken out of the pile of clothes.
"One month? Can you hold it in? Zhu Tiegou and others don't invite you to drink?" Mu Xiao looked at Tong Youxian with a smile.
Tong Youxian made a booing gesture, looked at the Ding Dingdangdang's kitchen vigilantly, and then turned around and whispered: "You can't say anything, those two brothers really don't hide it. Although it's a purpose to invite me to drink, I have to admit it."
There is still a purpose for drinking? Mu Xiao really can't guess it.
"I know that boy Zhu Yandao fell in love with my daughter. Now I have figured it out. I think it is rare for others to choose the conditions of Xiuxiu in our family. The two brothers are now free people. If the real Yandao can get along with Xiuxiu, I will accept it." Tong Youxian said with a bowl of wine and his heart was revealed.
Mu Xiao was naturally very surprised when he heard this. Zhu Yandao and Tong Xiuxiu, these two people are together, and the style of painting is unprecedented. Maybe there will be no future. But if it can really succeed, I am happy for them.
"It's just that Xiuxiu has been pestering Fu Shengsheng some time ago. Didn't this make Lin Yuyan angry? But, after Zhu Yandao was included in the genealogy, Xiuxiu didn't dislike him so much. I think there is still a chance."
Tong Youxian was bitter, and now he could only fall to Mu Xiao. His daughter wanted to look like she had no appearance and was fat, even her mother was disgusted with her. Before the sickle came, Tong Youxian had no hope for her daughter to get married in the future.
"Uncle Tong, I think, you still have to be in love with each other when they are together, and don't interfere too much." Mu Xiao was telling the truth. If Tong Xiuxiu is not happy, don't force her to marry Zhu Yandao.
"I know this. I want to wait for Zhu Yandao to come back and have a good talk with him. Before that, I will also have to explore Xiuxiu's mouth and drink." Tong Youxian picked up the wine bowl and put it down, and shouted to the kitchen: "Xiu, why have you been doing this for so long? The wine is almost finished."
"Well, Uncle Tong is not in a hurry." Mu Xiao thought, since he had come in anyway, let's first ask if the manager of Wanjia Trading Company came here and really wanted to build a pharmacy.
At this time, a sound of a hot pot of cold water rolling in the kitchen. Then Tong Xiuxiu walked out with a pot of rabbit meat: "Here's dad."
Fortunately, the apron has been taken off, otherwise Mu Xiao would not be sure if he could hold back his laughter. It was not that he was so bad that his heart was, but that some scenes would make people laugh.
"This is the rabbit that the sickle called the day before yesterday. I have marinated it with salt for a day and a night. Brother Mu Xiao, Dad, try it."
Tong Xiuxiu smiled and put the plate on the table. The aroma of stir-frying was scented. Mu Xiao picked up a piece and tasted it carefully. The meat was tender and delicious. It tasted quite delicious. It didn’t even taste good.
"It's really good, this sickle is really good, I'll give you a rabbit." Mu Xiao glanced at Tong Xiuxiu while talking. The fat girl was a little shy. What's the situation? Mu Xiao swallowed the rabbit meat and continued, "But sister Xiuxiu, your skills are really good. When the sickle comes back, let him be responsible for fighting. You are responsible for making it. Let's have a good meal again."
"Okay, that's it, you guys drink slowly, I'll go to work with my mother." Tong Xiuxiu was actually shy and walked away on the pretext, leaving the two of them laughing at the table.
It seems that Zhu Jiandao and Tong Xiuxiu may have a chance, which is something to be happy about.
