Chapter 756: The smell of red dust(1/2)
After using the meal early, Mu Ming bowed to his parents, then took the cloth bag handed over by Mrs. Zhang, and left with a smile.
"I really shouldn't let this child learn those things. I'm not at home all day. I guess I'm used to living with the old Taoist priest!" Mrs. Zhang complained. Recently, the wooden name has been chiseled out to come back late and never go there. She just wanders around the streets and alleys of Long County. Sometimes she squats silently in a corner, and then watches people coming and going. After returning, she sits alone after dinner with the two, and then looks at what is being painted in the starry sky.
Mr. Zhang said, "Let him go. After all, he has lived alone for more than ten years. Although he is lost, he can't change his habits..."
"I also know that the child just returned to him and was always no longer in front of him, so he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable." Mrs. Zhang leaned against Mr. Zhang's shoulder and sighed a little.
Mr. Zhang said, "I can't help but feel sorry for my mother. Look, it's time to find someone to take care of me!"
"What nonsense? How old is my son..." Mrs. Zhang raised her head and stared at Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang smiled silently and said, "I think you can't bear to leave your son, and I can't bear to leave either. But, look, we have to make up this matter."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang said, "Well, I will follow you. I think at that time, you were fifteen years old, but you were wandering around me all day long and were beaten up by my father a lot. Now I can only know what kind of parents are with you after raising a child..."
Mr. Zhang laughed and said, "Yes, it's been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, but you are as good as you first met..."
"Good mouth and smooth tongue!" Mrs. Zhang felt sweet in her heart, and she couldn't help but lean her head gently on Mr. Zhang's shoulder.
Mr. Zhang gently patted her head without saying a word, and the two of them silently enjoyed this warm moment.
At this time, Mu Ming sat silently in the corner of a teahouse, watching the passing guests coming and going around, and then painted something on the scroll on the table from time to time.
The waiter brought a bowl of tea and thanked him. He then took out ten copper coins from the cloth bag.
The waiter was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Young Master, if you have any instructions, just send me!"
Mu Ming said: "Then let's be the same rule. Go to Grandma Hu, who sells pancakes on the street, to go to a few pancakes!"
As he said that, Mu Ming handed out a cent of silver, the waiter said, "Young master, it's not good to always take care of Grandma Hu, and that silver has been taken away by the unfilial son!"
Mu Ming was silent, but he still handed the silver to the waiter and said, "Then please buy her a piece of clothes, this is for you!"
Mu Ming took out another corner of silver and handed it to the waiter. The waiter quickly refused, but Mu Ming said, "I know you have an old mother in bed, so this is money to buy medicine!"
When the waiter heard this, he wanted to kowtow, and said, "No need to do this. I have three leaves here. After you buy medicine, put the leaves in it. Put one leaf every day. In three days, your mother should be able to go to the ground!"
The waiter said: "Young Master is also good at medical skills? My mother is seriously ill, how do you know?"
Mu Ming shook his head, but did not respond, just said, "I don't know, I just think it should be good!"
The waiter was half-believing, but he knew that the young master would not harm him.
The old man and son of Longxian County suffered from absent-mindedness, which is almost known to everyone, but like his parents, this young man is a kind person, but he has some strange behavior. He almost likes to sit quietly alone and watch, and sometimes he will withdraw some money to some people, and all of them are weak people.
Then, the waiter went to buy cakes. Soon after, he put down the cakes. The wooden name of the computer was silently painted on the table. The waiter looked at it curiously, but found that the wooden name was just dipped in tea with a brush, and then painted something on the white scroll, with some wet marks and some figures outlined, but it was not clear.
The waiter thoughtfully: "Is it a symptom of the loss of soul? I heard that some people's speech and behavior is different from ordinary people after losing souls. I'm afraid this young man will be like this, God is unfair!"
Some people in the teahouse pointed at Mu Ming's fingers. Mu Ming seemed to feel something, and looked up and smiled slightly. The people nodded and smiled, but they didn't say much. They were used to this scene. One of them whispered: "Nine out of ten today probably went to that mutton restaurant..."
Someone hurriedly said, "And I heard from the mutton Laowu that he only drinks soup and does not eat meat!"
Sure enough, Mu Ming stood up and walked towards the corner of the street. It was a mutton restaurant. It was said to be a hall, but it was actually a shed with air flowing on all sides.
There were many people in the shed, so Mu Ming sat down on a stone outside the shed. When the mutton boss saw Mu Ming, he shouted: "Young master, do you want soup?"
Mu Ming smiled but said nothing. The boss grabbed a big bowl as soon as he saw it. The bowl was as big as a head. The boss grabbed the wooden spoon, then brought a bowl of hot soup from the black iron pot and poured it into the big bowl. The boss cut a handful of green chopped green onions and threw it into it, and then delivered it in person.
Mu Ming took it, then nodded to the boss, and the boss said, "Young Master is such a wonderful person. Most of the people who come to me eat the mutton, but the young master only drinks soup and not meat."
Mu Ming smiled and took a sip of the soup before saying, "I didn't bring enough money..."
The boss shook his head and bowed and left.
Mu Ming took out the pancake from the cloth bag, took a bite, then took another sip of the soup, and then looked into the distance where people came and went, but Mu Ming felt that he did not feel that strangeness, not like a spectator, but felt that he was integrated into it, and for a moment, his consciousness seemed to have entered those figures.
When the mutton soup around me was about to cool down, Mu Ming turned his head and picked up the big bowl of soup and swallowed it all in one bite.
The wooden name took out a corner of silver, threw it into a bowl, and left without saying goodbye.
The shop owner came over, looked at the silver in the bowl, and said to himself: "Even if you eat a sheep, don't need that much..."
Mu Ming came to an old tree, then lay on the ground, and ants carried small things around the ground. They were crushing a corner of cakes by the wooden master and then scattered them on the ground.
Mu Ming didn't feel bored, but just looked at it like this. Soon there were a few more boys and girls around him. One of these people said, "Silly, you're here again!"
Mu Ming raised his head, smiled, and then took out some fruit from the cloth bag for them. The people immediately snatched it up, and even pulled it. But in the end, it was quiet. One of the slightly older boys said to Mu Ming: "Silly, your fruit is a little soft. Bring more tomorrow, bring better!"
"Okay!" Mu Ming responded, then looked down at the ants. Several boys and girls also lay down. At first, they felt novel, but after a moment, they felt bored. One person looked at Mu Ming and said, "Silly, they all said you were stupid, aren't it true?"
Wooden name did not look up, but just shook his head.
"Silly, don't pay attention to them. Just be stupid. I'll take a look at the ants with you!" said a little girl of seven or eight years old, then glared at them, then looked at Mu Ming and said, "My father said you just lost your soul, it will be better in a few years..."
Mu Ming smiled, but then suddenly jumped up, and a little boy actually unbuttoned his belt and launched a flood towards the ants on the ground.
The little girl cried loudly, and then chased the little boy. Just now, a flood dripped onto the little girl's clothes. The little girl cried and beat her, but the little boy laughed, as if she did something amazing.
Mu Ming looked at the ants that were flooded by the flood on the ground, and did not say much, nor did he blame the people. The ants were not dead, but they were dying.
The wooden name blew a light breath and the ground became dry.
The children did not pay attention to the departure of Mu Ming, but when they found that Mu Ming was missing, they found that there was a stack of cakes on the ground.
Seeing the sunset gradually set in the sky, Mu Ming also walked towards Zhang's mansion.
Halfway through the way, Mu Ming saw a lake where some black fish were swimming.
Mu Ming sprinkled a handful of grass on the lake, then blew a breath, and the fish immediately came to eat the grass.
Mu Ming had quick eyes and quick hands, and directly caught a few, then he gasped the fish with a rope made of green grass by the lake before leaving.
When passing by a farmer, Mu Ming was surprised when he heard someone greeting him.
"uncle?"
However, Uncle Shi Fang was walking out of the farmer's house. When he saw Mu Ming, he was a little surprised and said, "Have you gone to see the ant again?"
Mu Ming smiled but didn't answer, and his uncle said, "Hey... you kid, don't accompany your mother."
Mu Ming felt a little embarrassed, but Shi Fang looked at the fish and said, "Did you beat me?"
Mu Ming nodded, and uncle Shi Fang said to himself: "How strange, these black fish have always been difficult to catch. Ergouzi next door went fishing every day, but he might not have touched a few. You are lucky... I forgot that you have learned from the old Taoist priest for a few years, but you have some skills. Back then, the old Taoist priest only caught a lot of fish by the lake."
My uncle slapped his head and his eyes turned. But at this time, my uncle snatched the black fish from Mu Ming's hand and quickly entered the farmer.
Mu Ming was stunned, but soon after, my uncle appeared again, but there was only one black fish. If I remember correctly, it was the smallest fish!
It seemed that when Mu Ming looked bad, his uncle hurriedly said, "This is your uncle's love. He has always wanted to eat this black fish meat. You also know that my uncle doesn't have that ability. This time it's my uncle owes you..."
Mu Ming's face improved, then he nodded and said, "I want to stew soup for my father and mother!"
Shi Fang felt a little guilty and said, "It's enough to stew the soup, but if you have too much, the taste will not be beautiful!"
Wood name is suspicious, "Really?"
The uncle nodded immediately and said, "This is true, and your father and mother want to eat it, isn't it easy?"
But at this moment, the farmer's wooden door opened, and a woman appeared, looking at the wooden name with a little shame and curiosity, and finally nodding at the wooden name.
Mu Ming was originally a little resentful, but when Mu Ming's eyes fell on the woman's stomach inadvertently, he seemed to understand.
"You are my little nephew, she is pretty, but she doesn't look like your uncle! Your uncle has a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek, and she is so ugly!" The woman spoke softly, and Mu Ming nodded, which was considered a greeting.
"You, hurt me in front of my nephew!" Uncle Shi Fang laughed, not annoyed.
The black fish in the hands of the famous wooden general put into his uncle's hand and said, "Uncle, leave it for you to replenish your body, so that you can give birth to a big fat baby as soon as possible!"
Mu Ming turned around and wanted to leave, but his uncle grabbed Mu Ming and said, "What do you know, your child? I haven't learned well these days, so I'll just say some dirty words!"
Mu Ming was stunned and said, "Why did my uncle say that?"
Shi Fang seemed to have thought of something, and then said, "That old Taoist priest is indeed not a good bird. You are lost, how can you still remember these things?"
But Mu Ming said: "Uncle, you have a child, this fish is left for your child! Could it be that my uncle is going to eat too?"
Mu Ming was really confused. Uncle Shi Fang was said to be shameless by his mother, and he also robbed his own fish, which shows how he robbed his children's food?
"My child?" My uncle was stunned, then looked at the woman, but saw that the woman suddenly held the wooden door and vomited.
My uncle was shocked and hurried over to comfort him. After a while, the woman recovered her strength, but lowered her head and said, "It was only discovered as soon as possible. I forgot to tell you!"
"I'm confused, how can I forget this?" My uncle blamed him, but he looked careless. Then he laughed at Mu Ming, his eyes full of joy, and then looked at the fish in his hand.
The woman patted his head and said, "It's not enough to take so many advantages. If I hadn't had a body, I would be embarrassed to ask for it!"
"You go in first!" The uncle asked the woman to enter the door, but the woman said, "If you don't invite your nephew, just sit there, don't be rude!"
The uncle waved his hand, and the woman had to enter the door, but Mu Ming said, "Don't worry, uncle, I won't say anything!"
Although Mu Ming was lost, he had been hiking around the streets and alleys every day. He had already understood some things, especially when he was sixteen years old, and some people occasionally joked with him.
At first I didn’t know the name of the wood, but later I gradually understood it.
"No, no, no... You have to talk to your sister quietly about this matter, do you know?"
The uncle shook his head, then pulled the wooden name and spoke in a low voice.
Mu Ming was puzzled, but his uncle said, "You don't need to know too much about this. In short, you must let your sister know. She won't say anything if you say it, but if I say it, it will be a big trouble!"
Moreover, the uncle said, "You have to plead with mercy. Do you know what mercy is?"
Mu Ming nodded, and uncle Shi Fang was overjoyed, "My good nephew..."
