Mu family's little lucky girl

Chapter 101 The Old Man and the Old Woman
Affected by the disappearance case, fewer people went out to shop, but when Mu Li came out of Yipinxuan, he found that more than half of the aspic had been sold.

Mu Li was surprised.

After Yipinxuan heard what shopkeeper Wan said, Mu Li had already given up hope.

Mu Qing smiled and explained: "The customers who bought our jelly yesterday didn't enjoy it, and they all came here early this morning. Someone told me just now that they have been waiting for us here for a long time."

"I thought we wouldn't be here today."

As soon as Mu Li heard it, he laughed happily with the corners of his mouth pulled, a sense of pride and pride in his heart.

Mu Li looked at the few catties of jelly left, looked up at Mu Qing and said, "Brother, I have something to tell you."

"Speak up if you have something to say, we brothers and sisters have something to hide."

"I sold the recipes for stewed large intestine and braised pork."

After finishing speaking, Mu Li pursed her lips and smiled, quietly waiting for Mu Qing's reaction.

Mu Qing's movement of cutting meat jelly paused, and she still didn't realize it, "Sold?"

Mu Li nodded with a smile, and drew a three with his hands.

"Three taels of silver?" Mu Qing asked tentatively.

Mu Li shook his head.

"Brother, let me tell you, don't get too excited."

Seeing her sister's appearance, Mu Qing unconsciously became nervous.

"Tell me, brother can hold on."

Mu Li looked around, and once again drew a three on his chest, looking at Mu Qing with clear and bright eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up in a nice arc.

She said each word slowly, lowering her voice, "30 taels."

Mu Li is ready for Mu Qing to be ecstatic.

Mu Qing looked at Mu Li in disbelief, thinking that she had heard wrong, she looked at Mu Li again with confused eyes, and Mu Li nodded to Mu Qing with a smile in her eyes.

"You heard that right."

Mu Li saw that he was still a little dazed, and pinched his arm.

"Does it hurt?" Mu Li asked with a smile.

pain!
Mu Qing nodded heavily, but the smile on the corner of her mouth got bigger and bigger, and a huge surprise instantly enveloped him.

Mu Qing happily picked up Mu Li's armpit, hugged her and turned around several times, attracting the attention of passers-by on the road.

Mu Qing put down Mu Li, touched her head with her hand, and smiled from ear to ear.

"Sister, you are really the lucky star of our family."

"Just make a move and earn 30 taels of silver."

30 taels of silver.

Enough for their family to struggle for almost ten years.

Mu Qing is still a little erratic up to now, as unreal as stepping on a cloud, but the pain on his arm is so real, reminding him that it is real.

Mu Qing couldn't help joking and said: "Sister, I will come out with you to set up a stall in the future, and our family will make a fortune in a short time."

Mu Li put his hands on his hips, pretended to be angry, and said coquettishly: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, you will be a scholar in the future."

Mu Qing smiled dotingly, then touched her head again, "Brother was just joking."

"Boss, here are two catties of meat jelly."

"Oh, here we come."

Mu Qing hurriedly responded happily, put on Mu Li's special leather gloves and began to cut meat jelly for customers, while Mu Li was in charge of adjusting the flavor.

She moved skillfully and quickly, without delay, but the scar on the back of her hand was a bit shocking.

Seeing this, Mu Qing's eyes dimmed again.

After that, a few more customers came, and within a short while, all the several catties of jelly were sold out.

The siblings packed up their stalls and were ready to go home.

The ox cart passed by a secluded alley, and after a while, the ox cart turned back again.

Mu Li looked at an old man in the alley in bewilderment. The old man looked sad and knelt on the ground, with his thin and withered hands trembling and stroking the ground.

However, there is nothing on the ground.

The old man behaved very abnormally.

Mu Li and Mu Qing looked at each other, and they jumped off the bullock cart decisively.

"Old man, are you lost?" Mu Li bent down and asked softly.

As if she didn't hear anything, the old woman was immersed in her own world, her loose eyelids drooped, her hands like dead bark caressed the ground lovingly, her expression was sad but extremely gentle.

Mu Li's eyelids twitched, inexplicably thinking of the child.

She looked at the slightly curved back of the old man, and once a thought arose, it was as irrepressible as a wildly growing vine.

"Gone."

What's gone?
Mu Li's eyelids twitched again.

Glanced at Mu Qing.

"This is where my son stayed before he died." The old woman choked with sobs, tears fell down, and the ground was wet in a short while.

A thin and frail old man with a thin and lonely figure.

An old woman who lost her son.

Endless sadness filled the alley in an instant.

Adam's apple rolled, Mu Qing's eyes were red.

Mu Li sniffed, squatted down next to the old man, and patted the old man's back with his hand.

The old man suddenly covered his face and cried bitterly, tears flowing down his fingers, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

The white-haired man sends the black-haired man.

The old man tried his best to suppress the suppressed crying, which made Muli's heart ache.

Xu Shi was infected by sadness, Mu Li choked up his sobs and comforted him: "Old man, don't be sad, your son in the spirit of heaven sees you sad, he will also be sad."

I don't know which sentence touched her, and the old man cried even more sadly.

For a moment, Mu Li was at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her.

"Old woman, why did you come here again?"

An old, hoarse voice came from the entrance of the alley, Mu Li and Mu Qing followed the sound source to see an old man walking tremblingly with his back on his back.

Hearing the voice, the old woman raised her head from her palm, burst into tears, and said in a crying voice, "I'll come and see our son."

The old man came over and held the old woman's hand, looked at Mu Li with cloudy eyes, and said, "Did you scare you?"

Both Mu Li and Mu Qing shook their heads.

The old man looked up at the blue sky above his head, and Mu Li could feel the sadness from the old man, no less than that of the old woman.

His voice was hoarse, and his cloudy eyes were wet.

"This is where my son's accident happened."

As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a desperately suppressed cry.

The old woman in her arms had gray hair, wrinkles and age spots on her face, but the old man looked at her with extremely gentle eyes.

"My wife is not in good health. We are both old and have a son. We only had a son in our 40s, so my wife loves this child very much. Now that the child is gone, my wife has been hit hard. I can't take care of him alone. She just ran here."

"In the past few days, many people have been frightened."

Mu Li lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, I reminded you of something unpleasant."

The old man shook his head: "It's his destiny."

"He..." Mu Li wanted to ask why he died, but he was afraid that he would offend the old couple if he asked, so he stopped talking.

The old man seemed to have guessed what Mu Li was thinking, he sighed heavily.

Looking up at the blue sky again, the old voice couldn't hide his sadness: "Death by accident."

"Accident?"

The old man nodded: "When I came here at night, I was accidentally hit on the head by a falling brick and died."

After saying this, the old man bid farewell to Mu Li and Mu Qing, and left with his arms around the old woman's shoulders.

Looking at the backs of the two snuggling together, Mu Li looked up at the buildings on both sides of the alley.

The more I look at it, the more strange it becomes.
