Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 256 Li Mu, there is smoke!
...

Woo~~~
"Crack... crack!"

The temperature in the suburbs dropped sharply at night, and the night wind blowing from time to time brought a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow. However, behind a small leeward slope, the fire was flickering, and a person was gently stirring the fire with his back facing the fierce wind. on firewood.

And on his side, there was a little man who was rolled up by him with a quilt and was sleeping by the fire, with two tear stains clearly visible on his dirty face.

The blowing wind was blocked by Li Mu's back, but it didn't affect Xiaobao's sleep much. Looking at Xiaobao who could still fall asleep in this wilderness, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh how quickly he adapted.

After half a month of getting along, the relationship between Li Mu and Xiaobao has become a lot closer, not as alienated as it was at the beginning. When they spent the night in the wilderness for the first time, Xiaobao was still very scared and didn't dare to sleep at all, but now it's just After half a month, I can get used to it naturally. Of course, it would be even better if I don't wake up from nightmares.

Not long ago, Xiaobao woke up from the dream again, calling for his father all the time, Li Mu spent a lot of effort to put him back to sleep.

swish swish swish...

Suddenly there was a tremor in the bushes on one side, as if something had scratched the branches, Li Mu paused in stirring the firewood, and turned his head to stare at the darkness beyond the firelight.

I saw that piece of bushes hidden in the darkness, Li Mu saw a pair of gloomy eyes from inside, the two were in a stalemate invisibly, Li Mu placed one hand on it?The hilt on the side looked in that direction expressionlessly.

shhhhhh...

As if sensing something, there was a sound of paws scratching the ground in the bushes, and the existence of an unknown beast hidden in it seemed that it didn't have the courage to face Li Mu directly, and then twisted its body and left in another direction.

After 3 minutes of silence, Li Mu didn't hear any more movement, and then let go of his hand on the hilt of his sword, lay down on his side, supported his head with one hand, and closed his eyes for a nap.

The sporadic stars in the dark night sky were twinkling, gradually fading from the deep blackness. When the sky turned blue, Li Mu's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes.

I saw that Xiaobao had woken up at some point, and was folding the quilt carefully on tiptoe. When Li Mu opened his eyes, he paused, with a look of embarrassment on his face. Obviously, he was a little bit embarrassed by his embarrassment last night. Excuse me.

"Awake? Then let's go!"

Li Mu seemed not to notice the embarrassment on Xiaobao's face, and calmly took the quilt that was folded by him a little bit, and tidied it up.

"Oh... well..."

The expected mockery didn't come as expected, so Xiaobao couldn't help being a little bit taken aback. After hearing Li Mu's words, he packed his own small package with a sigh of relief and set off following Li Mu's footsteps.

……

"There is smoke! Li Mu! There is smoke!"

I don't know how long I walked, but when Xiaobao felt the soles of his feet began to ache and was hungry, he saw the smoke from the kitchen in the distance, Xiaobao was so excited that he ran up regardless of the soreness of the soles of his feet.

"I'm not blind! Also, is Li Mu your name? It's not big or small!"

Ever since Li Mu cheated that day (he thought), Xiao Bao had been calling him by his full name, and although Li Mu said that he was not old or young, he didn't take it to heart.

Regardless of the fact that Xiaobao has followed Li Mu's butt for more than half a month, the status between them has not yet been decided.

The main reason is that Li Mu feels that he has not yet become a teacher and is not yet qualified to accept disciples, and the second is that Xiaobao's character is uncertain now, and he still has hatred in his heart, so he is not suitable for learning Taoism.

But even though he couldn't teach him Taoism, Li Mu still subtly taught Xiaobao the bones. The more than half a month of tempering made Xiaobao's body, which was a little weak due to illness, has changed, and his own resilience has also improved. promote.

Li Mu grabbed Xiaobao's collar to stop him from jumping around in front of him, and then turned his gaze to the place where the cooking smoke was coming.

Li Mu and the others were located halfway up a mountain at this time, looking down from a high position, they saw the outline of a town in the distance. It was early morning at this time, and people who got up early began to prepare breakfast.

Li Mu looked at the cooking smoke floating in the air, as if he had already smelled the aroma of rice, so his stomach reacted one step ahead of him.

"Grumbling..."

"puff!"

Hearing the movement from Li Mu's stomach, Xiaobao couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing, have you never seen a hungry stomach? Don't scream if you have the ability!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiaobao's stomach rang, and then the two looked at each other and laughed tacitly. This was the first time Li Mu saw Xiaobao's smile in more than half a month.

"Go, go find something to eat!"

"dog!"

"It's go! Not a dog!"

The two men walked down the mountain path to the village where the cooking smoke was coming. As the saying goes, looking at the mountain and running to a dead horse is absolutely true. Looking at the village that is close at hand, the two of them walked for almost an hour in a daze. It was only an hour, and Xiaobao was panting and sitting on the side stone pier, the sweat and dust on his body made him look like a little beggar.

"Let's go, enter the village!"

After resting enough on the stone pier at the entrance of the village, Li Mu greeted Xiaobao to enter the village. After entering the village, looking at the crowded street, Xiaobao subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Li Mu's clothes, even though he noticed that Li Mu was looking down. He didn't let go of his eyes either.

"Boss, stay at the store!"

Li Mu led Xiao Bao through the crowd and came to an inn in the middle of the village. After looking at the counter where no one was there, Li Mu knocked on the counter with the hilt of his sword.

"Come on! A guest officer?"

I saw a pleasant female voice coming from inside, and then the curtain behind the counter was lifted, and a mid-mature woman came out from inside, and when she saw Li Mu, she asked with a smile like a flower.

"A standard room!" (I don't know if it's called that)
Li Mu took a few steps back, and pulled out Xiaobao who was blocked by the counter. When she saw Xiaobao, the female shopkeeper couldn't help being stunned. Then she looked at Li Mu who was well-dressed and Xiaobao who looked like a beggar. He looked contemptuously.

"How many days?"

"Two days."

"Twenty Wen."

The female shopkeeper said with a blank face, as if the beautiful woman shopkeeper who was smiling just now was not her at all.

After Li Mu paid the money, the shopkeeper took a bunch of keys from the wooden sign on one side, and took the two of them upstairs.

"Hurry up and wash yourself clean, now everyone thinks that I have abused you!"

After the shopkeeper left, Li Mu directed Xiaobao to clean up his face, otherwise he would suffer a lot of stares when he went out.

Regarding this point, Li Mu is also a little helpless. First, they basically live and sleep on the road, and it is obviously impossible to clean up. Second, Xiaobao is still a kid. How can such a big child When it's clean?
Twenty Wen's room is well equipped in this place. There is a small bathroom. After Li Mu fetched water for Xiaobao, he left it to himself. After telling him not to run around, Li Mu left the inn.
