Chapter 93

At this moment, a gurgling sound came from Mo Chi's stomach.

Yu Wenjiu suddenly laughed.

Mo Chi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"If you guys are fine, don't bother me with my business, okay?" Although Mo Chi was ridiculed, he was not angry, and still politely said to Wang Luo.

"Sorry, my friend didn't mean to laugh at you, I apologize to you." Wang Luo said to Mo Chi apologetically.

Wang Wei glared at Yu Wenjiu, who stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

"Second brother, since you came to the capital, you haven't written a letter to your family, have you?" Wang Luo suddenly said to Wang Wei.

Wang Wei was taken aback.

But under Wang Luo's wink, he still nodded.

"It just so happens that I have a chance, write a letter to my family, and let this brother do it for me, how about it?"

Wang Wei was used to listening to Wang Luo's command in everything. Hearing what Wang Luo said, he nodded subconsciously.

Seeing that the business really came to the door, Mo Chi immediately moved.

He carefully poured out a piece of ink from the ink cartridge and began to grind it.

Then he opened the tip of the pen, dipped it in thick ink, and waited for Wang Wei's dictation.

Wang Wei stammered and began dictating to Mo Chi.

After writing a letter, Wang Wei's face was already dripping with sweat, feeling more tired than fighting.

When the ink was dry, Wang Luo reached out and picked up the inferior letter paper in front of him, and read it.

The handwriting is light and elegant, and it doesn't match the image of the sallow and thin young man in front of him.

He nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, how much?"

Mo Chi replied subconsciously: "Twenty Wen."

Wang Luo took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and placed it in front of Mo Chi.

Mo Chi looked at the silver at a loss.

"Too much, too much."

"If you have too many, go find them." Wang Luo said to Mo Chi as a matter of course.

Mo Chi woke up like a dream, picked up the piece of broken silver and stood up.

As soon as he stood up, he shook for a while, so he didn't fall to the ground.

Wang Luo quickly supported him with his eyes and hands, and felt that the person in front of him was so thin that he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

He shook his head and pushed Mo Chi onto the stool.

"You guys wait here for a while."

He turned around and walked across.

After a while, Wang Luo came over with a bowl of noodles.

He first put the pen and ink on the table aside, and then put the noodles in front of Mo Chi.

"This bowl of noodles is thirty cents, and you still owe me ten cents. Don't forget. The bowl is from Zhouji Noodle Restaurant across the street. Remember to return it after eating." He said a few words to Mo Chi, and picked up the bowl on the table. Suiyin and Xin left here with Wang Wei and Yu Wenjiu.

Mo Chi looked at the steaming noodles in front of him, sprinkled with finely minced meat stew, and the smell made people move their index fingers, then looked at Wang Luo and the three who had gone away, suddenly wiped his eyes, picked up his chopsticks and ate up.

"Wang Luo, who is this?" Wang Wei asked Wang Luo with a letter in his hand, puzzled.

Wang Luo just smiled and didn't explain anything.

"Come back tomorrow, and he still owes us ten pennies."

When Mo Chi went to return the bowl, the lady proprietress of Zhouji Noodle Shop suddenly said to him: "The man paid too much when he bought the noodles just now, you should know him, right? I'll give you the extra money."

After finishing speaking, the proprietress took out seventy Wen and put it in Mo Chi's hand.

Mo Chi looked at the seventy Wen coins in his hand, plus the money for buying noodles, it seemed to be exactly the price of that small piece of broken silver.

The next day, Wang Luo appeared in front of Mo Chi's stall on time.

"Yesterday you gave too much money at the noodle shop." Seeing Wang Luolai, Mo Chi immediately stood up and said, and at the same time took out the seventy Wen coins from the bag with the Four Treasures of the Study behind him.

Wang Luo nodded, then shook his head again.

"Forget it, I don't have the habit of carrying copper coins on my body. I'll leave it with you for now, and you can return it to me when you get enough money. Today, you can help me write a letter home."

Mo Chi nodded and began to grind ink.

Wang Luo took the written family letter and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad."

Before leaving, Wang Luo suddenly dropped a word.

"Since you have money in hand, you should treat your illness. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to ask you to pay back the money."

Mo Chi stared blankly at the young man who suddenly appeared in his life, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, as if he had made some decision, he went back and put away his small stall, carried his things on his back, and came to the pharmacy not far away.

"Mo Chi, why didn't you come when you finished taking the medicine last time? Let me tell you, if you stop taking the medicine for your disease, it will be very troublesome. If you don't have money, tell me, pay the bill first, and pay it back when you have money." That's fine, don't miss it." As soon as he entered, the boss of the pharmacy came up in a hurry.

A smile appeared on Mo Chi's face.

"Doctor Sun, I went out a few days ago and was not at home. Didn't I just come back to buy medicine from you?"

Dr. Sun seemed to be an outspoken person at first sight, he said dissatisfiedly to Mo Chi: "Nonsense, I heard that you set up a stall on the corner of the street to write family letters."

Mo Chi just smiled, took out the eighty Wen from his pocket, thought about it, and put back the twenty Wen.

"Doctor Sun, give me another two days of medicine."

Dr. Sun took the sixty Wen money from Mo Chi without counting it, and put it directly in the drawer of the counter, and then began to skillfully grab the medicine from the medicine cabinet behind him.

"Atractylodes macrocephala, pinellia, tangerine peel, cardamom, poria cocos, licorice, patchouli..." Dr. Sun chanted the name of the medicine while putting the medicine in the medicine bag.

What Mo Chi didn't see was that Dr. Sun packed three packs of medicine.

After wrapping it up, Dr. Sun put the three packets of medicine into Mo Chi's hands.

"Doctor Sun, I only need two days."

Dr. Sun ignored him, put the medicine in his hand, waved to him, sat down on his reclining chair, and continued to read his book.

Mo Chi weighed the medicine bag in his hand, glanced at Dr. Sun, and walked out.

In the next period of time, Wang Luo never appeared in front of Mo Chi's stall again.

However, Mo Chi's business gradually improved.

Every day someone came to ask him to write a letter home.

What made Mo Chi very strange was that these people had a very special aura, an aura mixed with iron and blood.

"These people, don't they all serve as soldiers?" Mo Yan looked at the man who had just asked him to write a letter from home. Even though he was walking on the street, his back was straight, and he couldn't help but think to himself.

"Wang Luo, why did you ask all the brothers to write family letters with that kid?" Wang Wei asked Wang Luo puzzled.

Wang Luo recalled the look in Mo Chi's eyes when he saw him.

Even in such a difficult situation, he still did not give up hope.

"I don't know why, the first time I saw him, I wanted to help him." Wang Luo smiled and said to Wang Wei.

"Then why don't you just give him some money?" Wang Wei said puzzled.

"If you give him money, he will definitely not accept it, otherwise how is he different from those beggars on the street?"

However, what Wang Luo didn't know was that his momentary kindness almost brought disaster to Mo Chi.
