Wife is an enemy general
Chapter 57 Brazen snatching!
001.
Seeing Li Mu, Master Qin immediately got up to introduce everyone, and told everyone about Li Mu's identity.
In fact, Master Qin didn't need to be so troublesome, these people already knew Li Mu's identity, but since Li Mu was hosting the banquet for everyone at this moment, everyone naturally tried to save face and catered to them.
But this was just the first few moments. After this moment passed, everyone lost their previous respect when they sat down again. They all lowered their heads and whispered about themselves, but no one paid any attention to Li Mu.
Master Qin said a few words above, seeing that no one was paying attention at all, his face turned a bit ugly, he tried to say something to attract everyone's attention, but Li Mu suddenly reached out his hand to stop him.
These people made it clear that they wanted to make him look bad, so although they were all still sitting at the banquet, none of them cared what he was doing at all.
It is completely as a decoration, as a transparent.
This kind of beating around the bush to give him power was obviously not thought up by one person, it was obviously led by someone, and everyone catered to him.
After Li Mu stopped Master Qin, he sat on the upper seat, still drinking the tea in his cup calmly, not in a hurry.
Zhong Xiuyuan still doesn't know what kind of medicine Li Mu is selling. He just puts one hand on the handle of his knife and stands behind Li Mu with a cold face.
Everyone who was secretly looking at Li Mu, trying to figure out how Li Mu felt about ignoring them, found that Li Mu was drinking tea peacefully and didn't pay attention to their small deeds, and slowly everyone became quiet. down.
Seeing that everyone was almost quiet, Li Mu put down his teacup and said, "This time I came to you to discuss with you about disaster relief food."
Li Mu didn't beat around the bush at all, and explained his purpose of coming at the beginning, but everyone was puzzled when he said this.
The Huangshang was in charge of the disaster relief food. In other words, Li Mu was in charge around here, so what did it matter to them?
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but Li Mu said again: "Now that I, Daning, have signed a peace agreement and an armistice agreement, I think life will definitely get better and better in the future. No, the first emperor issued an order for disaster relief and poverty alleviation, and my lords didn't order it." express?"
Li Mu said this very frankly, without the slightest concealment, he was completely empty-handed, asking for food.
Hearing Li Mu's words, everyone looked at each other again, and Li Mu immediately laughed angrily.
Li Mu is reaching out to them for disaster relief food?
What are you kidding? !
The matter of the disaster relief food is clearly the responsibility of the imperial merchants, so what does it matter to them?
Besides, even if Li Mu wanted something, he didn't ask for it as blatantly as he did. A beggar still knows how to say something nice.
"Boss Li, are you joking with us?" The first person who couldn't bear it was an elder who was sitting not far from Li Mu's hand. He was obviously an old but respected person among the group. , should have been in this business for many years.
After the elder opened his mouth, someone immediately greeted him: "Boss Li, your imperial businessman is responsible for the food disaster. What does it have to do with us?"
"That's right! Are you kidding us? If so, the joke is not funny."
Not only were everyone blown up, but even the magistrate who was sitting next to Li Mu had an extremely ugly expression at the moment.
Originally, Li Mu suddenly appeared in his government office, and he had been delaying to give him relief food, he already felt very strange, but now that Li Mu did this trick again, his face naturally couldn't look any better.
Could it be that Li Mu is really planning to be a white wolf with empty hands, and if he is not going to give him the disaster relief food distributed by his superiors, he is going to take it for himself, is he a profiteer?
Even Master Qin didn't know much about the medicine sold in Li Mu's gourd. Seeing that Li Mu opened his mouth and stretched out his hand to ask everyone for food, his face turned pale.
Zhong Xiuyuan was the calmest among the crowd, not because he wasn't surprised by Li Mu's actions at the moment, but because he felt that since Li Mu could open his mouth, he would naturally have a way to make these people take out their things obediently.
Moreover, he knew Li Mu's character. Since Li Mu had already set up such a big banquet, if these people were not stripped of their skin, they probably wouldn't be able to get out of this door.
Under the mottled night of the lake, Li Mu didn't argue with these people, but waited quietly until everyone finished talking before he spoke again.
"Daning looks like this now, and all the adults are all famous people around here. Are you really not going to express it?" Li Mu said.
Everyone who had already laughed angrily because of Li Mu's words just now, saw that Li Mu seemed to be really planning to ask them to get something, and now their faces turned dark.
"Master Li, what do you mean by this?" The old man in charge jumped up, "This disaster relief is the business of Emperor Daning, so what does it have to do with us?"
"That's right, Mr. Li, stop joking with us. Disaster relief has always been the responsibility of the government. I'm just a small business. What does this matter have to do with us?"
"If Boss Li is deliberately teasing us, then I won't accompany you and leave."
Immediately after having the first person, there was a second person. Five or six of the thirty or forty people in the courtyard immediately stood up and wanted to say goodbye to Li Mu.
Looking at the group of people who turned around and walked towards the door, Li Mu let out a bang and put down the teacup in his hand.
His actions were a bit rude, and his voice was loud, causing those who were about to leave to stop, and looking back, it also quieted down the people who were chattering around.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan understood a little bit. He moved his hand on the knife stuck in his waist, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.
Although Li Mu is the protagonist at this moment, and he is just a guard standing behind Li Mu, but the murderous intent in his eyes at that moment was seen by everyone.
Seeing Zhong Xiuyuan's appearance at this moment, the steps of those who were about to leave have stopped.
They didn't believe that Li Mu really dared to do anything to them, but the murderous aura on Zhong Xiuyuan didn't seem like a fake.
Although there was a bit of atmosphere in everyone's hearts, no one wanted to be the first bird, so these people were all quiet for a while.
"Hahaha..." At this moment, Li Mu suddenly laughed.
He almost laughed out loud, as if he had seen some wonderful joke, and everyone was at a loss.
In the night, Li Mu laughed for a long time before getting up.
He held a teacup in his right hand, turned it gently, and occasionally put it under his nose to sniff it, as if he was drinking the tea in the cup.
Seeing Li Mu's mysterious appearance, everyone who was originally angry in their hearts became quiet at this moment. They were completely confused, and they didn't know what Li Mu wanted to do.
"My lords, don't worry, I was just joking with you just now." Li Mu walked a few steps in front of the table and stood in the middle of the crowd in the courtyard.
Because of what happened just now, everyone was already aroused by Li Mu. At this moment, Li Mu's casual joke naturally caused everyone to stare angrily.
Li Mu didn't give them a chance to speak again, but said again: "Didn't I just take over the errand at the entrance of the nearby Huangshangtang, so I want to get to know everyone, but it seems that the joke is too much Please don’t mind, everyone, don’t take it to heart.”
Hearing Li Mu mention the matter of the Imperial Merchant, the faces of the thirty or forty people were all different for a while, some of them became more angry, but some of them stopped to think about what Li Mu wanted to do.
After the joke was finished, Li Mu changed the subject, and his tone turned a little cold, "But this joke is a joke, and I can apologize to everyone here if the joke is not funny, but this is the disaster relief food, everyone should get it!"
The anger of the crowd, which had been calmed down just now, was instantly aroused by Li Mu again.
"Li Mu, what on earth are you trying to do?" Among the crowd, someone who was too young to hold his own was already pointing at Li Mu and began to curse, "This matter of disaster relief is none of my business, why should I give you disaster relief food! "
"What place do you think this is? Do you think this thing is so easy to ask for, did you, the yellow-headed kid, ask for it?"
The crowd was furious, and they stood up to accuse Li Mu one after another, and attacked him in groups.
Seeing the people getting more and more angry, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't hold back anymore, he took a step forward and stood beside Li Mu, he silently pushed the long sword at his waist with his fingers, revealing the cold light on the blade.
As soon as the cold light of the knife edge was exposed, the group of people instantly fell silent as if they were being strangled by the neck.
They dared to scold and speak in front of Li Mu, but after all they were just a group of ordinary businessmen. Although it was not uncommon to see murder and arson in the war-torn era, when it was their turn, they were still soft-footed.
Just when everyone was quiet, the old man who spoke at the beginning spoke again, "Master Li, what do you mean by teasing us? Why don't you just say what you have to say."
Li Mu looked back at him, with a sincere smile on his face. The old man was really angry at first, but he calmed down slowly later. He is indeed the respected one among this group of people.
Seeing that someone helped him build the steps, Li Mu didn't continue to provoke everyone, but said softly: "We are all doing things for the people above, and of course what we are doing now is what the above explained, of course it is to release food for disaster relief. , but now how many refugees there are around here, everyone is more self-aware than me..."
In short, although I am doing things, I have no food.
At this moment, Li Mu's behavior is obviously a bit shameless, and regardless of whether Li Mu has food or not, even if he really has no food, it is a bit too shameless to come to trouble them like this.
Everyone didn't speak, because the old man thought about it for a while and then said, "This disaster relief matter is indeed a headache, but we can't help you with this matter. , don't you think it's a bit deceptive?"
Li Mu smiled, if it were any other person, his behavior of asking for things with this mouth is indeed a little too much, but now all the people who come here are the people on the list he asked for from Master Qin before.
It would be wrong for other people to be treated like this, but the people on this list are not wronged at all.
It was an era of war and chaos before, and under the circumstances that they were close to the battlefield, it would be a joke to say that these individuals really made money from their real skills.
As far as he knew, among the [-] to [-] people standing in front of him, there were a dozen or so who made money from others, and the rest of them had unclean hands and feet.
In the previous ten years, Daning had been in war, so many refugees fled by selling pots and irons. These people couldn't afford clothes and couldn't get sick.
And among the thirty or forty people in front of him, there were food sellers, cloth sellers, and medicine sellers, but all of them were taking advantage of the war to raise market prices to fill their own pockets.
Even Master Qin, his smuggling of medicinal materials can be regarded as making a fortune.
Although they did make some money, the money they made was not clean.
Since the income is not clean, it's not too much for him to use it to help these disaster victims at this critical moment, right?
After hearing the old man's question, Zhong Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, looked at the old man with a proud expression, as if he was questioning him, so what if he was deceiving too much?
Seeing Zhong Xiuyuan like this, the old man's face was as black as coal.
Li Mu turned his head and glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan next to him, Zhong Xiuyuan immediately softened his posture slightly, obeying orders and no longer targeting the old man.
"The so-called entering the temple to worship the gods, I still understand the truth, but this matter has to be prioritized. It's not that I have no choice but to reach out to everyone. Everyone is accommodating, so I can handle things easily in the future." Li Mu said He said begging for mercy, but his tone was cold.
After finishing speaking, Li Mu added another sentence coldly, "Since the matter of the imperial business has been settled, everyone will live in the same place in the future. Don't make things difficult for me, and I don't want to make things difficult for everyone."
Now that the matter of Huangshang has been settled, it means that the nearby halls will be supervised by him in the future.
These individuals are all in business, business people, unless your business is not big, or sooner or later you will ask him.
After hearing Li Mu's words, everyone finally understood that Li Mu was not reaching out to ask them for money for nothing, he was not empty-handed, he was clearly robbing!
Brazenly grab!
002.
He is holding the identity of the imperial merchant and suppressing them.
He is now an imperial merchant, if they don't obediently give him some benefits, then they will have a good life in the future.
Although this is normal, no matter where it is, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but no matter what others do, it is done secretly and secretly, but Li Mu is the only one who spread the matter out.
Hearing Li Mu's unreserved words, and seeing Li Mu's cold attitude that they don't want to leave unless they give something, everyone didn't know how to respond for a while.
If Li Mu didn't have the identity of an imperial merchant behind him, it is estimated that many people in their group would rush forward and grab Li Mu's collar to shout, but they are all in business, and it is inevitable that they will...
Moreover, the identity of this imperial merchant can be said to be big or small, and if it is big, the chamber of commerce near them will also be under his control in the future.
If Li Mu intentionally made things difficult for them in the future, insisting that there was something wrong with their goods, confiscated their goods or closed their shop, then they would have no place to cry at that time.
This group of people have been in the business field all year round, they have seen all kinds of rogues, but if Li Mu insists on playing rogues with them, there is really nothing they can do.
They can still get someone to drag out other people and beat them up. Do they dare to beat Li Mu?The answer is obvious, they dare not.
In the face of such a rascal, what can I do if I dare not beat him, and dare not scold him?Then you have to be obedient and calm down.
For a moment, the entire courtyard was silent, and there was no sound.
The atmosphere became a little quiet for a while, and everyone was full of anger, but they dared not speak out.
Even Zhong Xiuyuan, who was standing behind Li Mu, had a bit of twitching at the corners of his mouth at the moment. Li Mu's rascal character really wasn't a little bit.
Master Qin's face was also very exciting. He originally thought that Li Mu had such an ingenious method, but now he is a little dumbfounded.
The adult above him used his identity as an imperial merchant to suppress Li Mu, Li Mu said that he followed suit, and turned his head to imitate the people below him.
I don't know, if that adult knows that he has raised the relief food in this way, how wonderful the expression on his face will be.
"Then Master Li means that if we don't cooperate, there will be no place for us in the future?" Just when everyone was afraid to speak, the old man who had talked to Li Mu before said something quietly.
This old man has obviously been in this industry for a long time, and he should have some contacts in this area, so compared to the fear of Li Mu that others have, he is not that afraid.
Li Mu had been prepared for a long time. Seeing what this person said, he immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Actually, that's what I said. I'm also giving you a chance to develop."
After hearing Li Mu's words, the old man couldn't help but look at Li Mu more.
If Li Mu confronted him head-on at this moment, he would immediately walk away, and he would face Li Mu in the future.
But Li Mu suddenly turned a corner like this, and he was subdued, so he couldn't leave. "What is the opportunity for development?"
"Think about it, everyone. Daning has just signed an armistice contract. Needless to say, it will get better and better in the days to come. The better the days are, the better the business opportunities will be. That's it. Right?" Li Mu slowly advanced.
Everyone didn't speak, just waiting for Li Mu to continue.
"Nowadays like this happens to be the time to become famous. If you want to expand this business, word of mouth is still very important. Why don't you take this opportunity to build a good reputation." Li Mu said.
After Li Mu said this, everyone looked at each other again, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.
"Everyone sitting here is a smart person, you should understand what I want to say." Li Mu didn't say clearly.
The rest of the people didn't quite understand what Li Mu was trying to say, but there were indeed some smart people among this group of people. For example, the old man who had been talking to Li Mu just now had a bit of a smile on his face.
Li Mu has been quietly watching the crowd, remembering all of the quickest responders in his mind.
He has no intention of being an enemy of these people, if this time things can get through these people safely, he will win them over instead.
It's better to be friends with smart people than enemies.
"Are you serious?" Just as Li Mu was sizing up the rest of the people, the old man turned around and asked Li Mu, wanting to get a guarantee.
"Of course it is true!" Li Mu nodded.
After a short pause, he continued: "The name of this disaster relief can be given to you. You can put your name on each disaster relief site, but the food for disaster relief must pass through my hands."
After hearing Li Mu's assurance, the old man's eyes flashed again, and he had already started to add up.
The rest of the people listened to the conversation between the two, and some of them had already come to their senses, bowing their heads and talking with each other.
But Li Mu stood up again at this time, and he said apologetically, "To be honest, I was really forced to come up with such a way. The people above asked me to distribute things, but the disaster food I got was not at all. The number is not enough, so we can only make a bad move.”
Li Mu's words were brilliant, his softness made everyone who was glaring at him a little bit annoyed.
These days, although the higher-ups say they want to distribute disaster relief food and help the victims, everyone knows how many of the things that come down from the upper levels go through layers of hands and end up in the hands of the refugees below.
Li Mu's previous affairs in Anfu, he only knew about some big businessmen like Mr. Qin, and news of small businessmen in these places was not so fast.
They only know that the new imperial business has been finalized, and the person who has finalized it is called Li Mu, who raises ducks in their mountainous area.
"Okay, I'll help you with this matter." The old man stood up, hugged Li Mu, and walked out the door.
Seeing his free and easy appearance, Li Mu couldn't help showing a bit of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
This is obviously a matter of cooperation, but because of this person's words, now he owes these people a favor.
After the old man opened his mouth, the rest of the people who wanted to understand quickly followed suit, expressing their willingness to 'help'.
Being forced by Li Mu to hand over the disaster relief food, and helping Li Mu find a way to rescue the disaster together, making Li Mu owe them a favor, are two completely different things.
After the old man started, the people in the courtyard basically came to their senses slowly. Even if they were slow to react when they saw that the others agreed, they all followed suit, thinking about going back later.
After sending everyone away, Li Mu returned to his desk and sat down.
Master Qin who was standing aside also sat down, then shook his head, looked at Li Mu helplessly, "You kid..."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, his face should have been expressionless, because his actions now have a bit of evil spirit.
Seeing Li Mu like this, Zhong Xiuyuan's heart beat a beat slower, and he also laughed along with Li Mu.
Those individuals thought they had taken advantage of it, and made Li Mu owe them a favor. One by one, they threw off the initial anger and now they are leaving happily, without feeling at a loss.
However, Master Qin and Zhong Xiuyuan, who watched the matter from beginning to end, saw it clearly.
Where did those people get cheap?
Those people were clearly tricked by Li Mu!
At the beginning, Li Mu deliberately provoked them, just to make them angry and impulsive, then Li Mu deliberately put on a weak posture, letting those people be led by the nose by him, and finally this intentionally made them feel that he was taking advantage...
There is a saying that goes, "If you are sold, you still help to count the money." It probably refers to these people who are now like this. They obviously paid for their own things, but in the end they still feel happy that they have taken a big advantage.
"It's all thanks to Master Qin for your help." Li Mu thanked Master Qin again.
Master Qin stood up, "It seems that I don't need to worry about your matter anymore, you can handle it by yourself. I will go back in two days and explain the situation to the lord, so that I can settle your matter completely. come down."
After Master Qin finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Xiuyuan, who was addicted to acting as a guard, and shook his head funnyly and left.
From the beginning to the end, the magistrate had a somewhat dazed look on his face. Seeing a few people say such words at this moment, he finally came back to his senses.
His eyes turned back and forth on the three of them, but he didn't say anything in the end.
After being an official for so many years, he also understands some truths. All he wants is disaster relief food. No matter where Li Mu got it from, as long as Li Mu makes up for the disaster relief food, he doesn't care.
003.
When he came out of the yard, the street was already very quiet, it was already late, and everyone on the street had already fallen asleep.
Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan did not go back all the way with the magistrate, but they walked slowly, like taking a walk, towards the county government under the night.
On the deserted street where the red lantern was hung high, the two walked side by side, their figures stretched out by the light of the lantern.
I don't know when it snowed in the sky, the snow was not heavy, like goose feathers flying all over the sky.
Zhong Xiuyuan followed Li Mu, stepping on the snow on the side of the road that he hadn't had time to sweep.
There are many strange patterns on the snow. It seems that they were drawn by children during the day. Some of them can still be seen, while others have been blurred by footprints and the snow in the sky.
As he walked, Zhong Xiuyuan bent over.
Li Mu stopped in doubt to see what he was going to do, but saw Zhong Xiuyuan bent over and grabbed a handful of clean snow from the ground and got up.
Li Mu was puzzled, could there be something on the ground?
Li Mu was puzzled, but saw that Zhong Xiuyuan pinched the snow in his hand and formed it into a circle. The next moment, he threw the ball forward and smashed it on Li Mu's chest.
Li Mu stared at his movements, and also watched the snowball hit his chest and then explode. After he was stunned for a while, he realized that this person was throwing a snowball at him.
Zhong Xiuyuan was also a little stunned. He was just looking at the children's paintings on the ground at first, and thought of throwing snowballs at people on a whim.
Who knew that Li Mu would not dodge or dodge, and would stare at the place where he was smashed for a long time, before he came back to his senses that he was smashed.
Li Mu's stupid and slow reaction, obviously made Zhong Xiuyuan amused.
He bent down again to grab a handful of snow, then squeezed it in his hands, making a snowball about the same size as before, and aimed at Li Mu and threw it at him.
This time Li Mu was on guard, and instead of letting him smash it, he caught the snowball.
The snowball was not tightly squeezed, it was already in Li Mu's hand, and it immediately fell apart, making him covered in snow all over his body and cuffs.
Zhong Xiuyuan was completely overjoyed now, Li Mu usually had a serious and meticulous appearance, but now he was this clumsy and foolish person who was being bullied, which made him feel cute no matter how he looked at it.
Zhong Xiuyuan bent down again and grabbed a handful of snow again, this time he grabbed a lot.
When he grabbed the snow and squeezed it into two snowballs, he turned around and found that Li Mu was already ready for battle, apparently already fighting him.
With Li Mu's face like this, and this serious face playing seriously, Zhong Xiuyuan finally couldn't hold back, and chuckled softly.
After Zhong Xiuyuan made the snowball, he raised his hand to throw it at Li Mu, but Li Mu stopped and looked serious.
Zhong Xiuyuan moved the snowball but didn't throw it, but Li Mu moved left and right because of his movement, and kept his eyes fixed on his hand.
"Hahahaha..." Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing, this person is really cute.
Hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's laughter spread in the night, Li Mu also understood now that he was being tricked.
He ignored the hilarious Zhong Xiuyuan, took two steps forward, took some snow from the side that was placed on the fence, and gently squeezed it between his fingers.
Seeing Li Mu like this, Zhong Xiuyuan immediately got excited, and he hurried to squeeze the snowball, ready to fight Li Mu.
The two of them didn't have such childish personalities originally, but at this moment in the quiet and deserted street, both of them had a bit of playfulness in mind.
Probably because he solved the troubles in his heart, he was in a good mood, and even Li Mu had a smile on his face.
Zhong Xiuyuan prepared several snowballs in his hand, and then looked at Li Mu provocatively, only to see that Li Mu only had five or six small snowballs the size of peanuts in his hand.
Seeing Li Mu like this, Zhong Xiuyuan felt that he had the chance to win, so he picked up a big one and threw it at Li Mu's body.
This time Li Mu didn't pick it up, but dodged it sideways, and the snowball hit the ground in the distance.
When one hit failed, Zhong Xiuyuan immediately threw out the second snowball in his hand, but for the second and third, Li Mu seemed to have eyes all over his body, no matter how hard he threw it, he still couldn't hit it.
Zhong Xiuyuan saw that all the snowballs in his hand were thrown away by him, and he bent down to catch the snow again. As a result, when he slackened, there was a slap on his buttocks.
Instinctively, Zhong Xiuyuan covered his buttocks, stood up, and then he slapped his forehead again, "Ouch!"
This time he saw clearly that it was Li Mu who hit him, and Li Mu flicked out the small snowball the size of a peanut in his hand with his fingers.
Li Mu didn't know where the strength came from, the snowball was obviously so small, it just made him hit a bit of wind, although it didn't hurt when it hit his body, but it hit firmly.
The first hit was on the butt, and the second hit was on the forehead. Li Mu turned his wrist, and the third hit was already on his fingertips.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan put down his hand covering his buttocks, and while aiming at Li Mu, while being on guard, he prepared to bend down to pick up the snow.
How could Li Mu give him such a chance?Seeing him bend down, the third snow directly hit Zhong Xiuyuan's forehead again.
"Ouch!" Zhong Xiuyuan put out his hand to cover his forehead, ignoring the snow on the ground.
It didn't hurt much when it hit his body, but it was so cold that it made him shiver.
However, Li Mu seemed to be addicted to playing. With his wrists turning all the time, those snowballs the size of small peanuts hit Zhong Xiuyuan's body frequently. Hit far enough to jump straight on the spot.
But the good times didn't last long, and soon he ran out of snowballs in his hand, and the two of them ran out of ammunition and food for a while.
Almost at the same time, both of them bent down to pick up the snow on the ground.
After grabbing a handful, the two young generals, who had honed their swords and killed countless enemies on the battlefield, rolled on the ground neatly, avoiding the snow that fell from their original positions.
In the next moment, the snowballs in the hands of the two were coming and going, flying towards each other in this silent street.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help it, and begged for mercy while avoiding the little snowball in Li Mu's hand that was still hitting him constantly.
"Okay, I admit defeat, admit defeat..." Zhong Xiuyuan tried hard to hold his forehead.
Li Mu didn't know where he learned this way of hitting snowballs, but he still hit him very accurately, every time he hit his forehead or buttocks, which made him feel ashamed and annoyed.
Hearing Zhong Xiuyuan begging for mercy, Li Mu didn't stop until he had hit all the snowballs in his hand, then he clapped his hands and let Zhong Xiuyuan go.
Zhong Xiuyuan covered his forehead and hid for a while, seeing that Li Mu's hands were empty as he was walking slowly forward, he put down the hands on his forehead.
The two walked forward again, Zhong Xiuyuan slowly approached Li Mu with his hands behind his back.
After approaching Li Mu, he walked next to Li Mu, until he squeezed Li Mu to the side of the road, he turned around and hugged the man.
Li Mu looked at the person hugging his neck, "Why?"
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't speak, he leaned forward and kissed Li Mu's lips.
A light touch, a warm touch, a warm breath, someone you love deeply.The two hugged and kissed quietly at the street corner, as if time stood still at this moment.
"Li Mu..." After the kiss was over, Zhong Xiuyuan stepped forward and kissed Li Mu's lips lightly, and then he moved violently.
He tore off Li Mu's clothes at the back of his neck, and threw in the snow that had been in his hand for a long time.
After throwing the snow into Li Mu's clothes, Zhong Xiuyuan turned around and ran, looking back at Li Mu who was shivering from the ice while running, laughing nonstop.
Li Mu, who was originally warm in heart, was caught off guard by this blow. He stomped his feet while sucking in air-conditioning, trying to get the snow out of his clothes.
But the snow got into his clothes, it was not so easy to get it out, he stood there, tossing for a long time, the ice was choking.
But at this moment, Zhong Xiuyuan had already run away with a smile, looking at him from the far corner with a look of success.
Li Mu finally emptied all the snow from his clothes, patted his clothes again, grabbed a lot of snow from the ground coldly, and then walked towards Zhong Xiuyuan step by step.
Zhong Xiuyuan was not stupid, how could he wait for him to catch him, so he turned around and ran away.
The two ran one after the other in the middle of the snow, and quarreled for a while before they both stopped panting.
Normally, they don't think that, but now the two realize that it takes some physical effort to play around like this.
Seeing that he was approaching the gate of the government office, Zhongxiu looked at Li Mu from a distance, and after confirming that Li Mu did not hold snow in his hands and had no chance to stuff snow in his clothes, he slowed down and waited for Li Mu to be side by side with him. go home.
Because Li Mu was punished before, although Li Mu didn't hold Xue in his hand now, Zhong Xiuyuan was still a little scared, so he was always on guard.
The two entered the government office one after the other, and after knocking on the door of the courtyard where they lived, Zhong Xiuyuan relaxed his vigilance, and couldn't help but look at Li Mu with trepidation.
Counting it, this is the first time he has been courted by Li Mu for a long time.
Hearing the knock on the door, Zhong Manlu, who had been waiting in the yard, came out to open the door. Seeing the two people guarding the door, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Who are you?" Zhong Manlu looked at the two of them amusedly. Could it be that the two of them rolled in the snow?
Although it was snowing in the sky, no matter what, there was no way to make the two of them into this embarrassing appearance.
Now, both of them have piles of snow on their heads, their clothes are also covered in snow, their fingers and faces are red from the cold, and they can tell that they just played a snowball fight.
The combined age of these two people is over half a hundred, and one is still the original general. It's snowing in the middle of the night, why don't you come back quickly, and actually play snowball fights on the road, something that he and Yun'er don't play!
"Brother, why are your clothes wet?" Zhong Manlu pointed to the area near Li Mu's stomach, where the clothes were wet a lot.
Hearing this, Li Mu quickly took out the snow in his stomach.Earlier, in order to let Zhong Xiuyuan relax his vigilance and approach him, he stuffed a handful of snow in his belly.
Seeing Li Mu digging out the snow, Zhong Xiuyuan shrank his neck and hurried into the yard.
Zhong Manlu was dumbfounded by these two people, are they still children?
Especially Li Mu, who usually looks serious and serious, secretly hides snow in his clothes, how childish it is!
Seeing Li Mu, Master Qin immediately got up to introduce everyone, and told everyone about Li Mu's identity.
In fact, Master Qin didn't need to be so troublesome, these people already knew Li Mu's identity, but since Li Mu was hosting the banquet for everyone at this moment, everyone naturally tried to save face and catered to them.
But this was just the first few moments. After this moment passed, everyone lost their previous respect when they sat down again. They all lowered their heads and whispered about themselves, but no one paid any attention to Li Mu.
Master Qin said a few words above, seeing that no one was paying attention at all, his face turned a bit ugly, he tried to say something to attract everyone's attention, but Li Mu suddenly reached out his hand to stop him.
These people made it clear that they wanted to make him look bad, so although they were all still sitting at the banquet, none of them cared what he was doing at all.
It is completely as a decoration, as a transparent.
This kind of beating around the bush to give him power was obviously not thought up by one person, it was obviously led by someone, and everyone catered to him.
After Li Mu stopped Master Qin, he sat on the upper seat, still drinking the tea in his cup calmly, not in a hurry.
Zhong Xiuyuan still doesn't know what kind of medicine Li Mu is selling. He just puts one hand on the handle of his knife and stands behind Li Mu with a cold face.
Everyone who was secretly looking at Li Mu, trying to figure out how Li Mu felt about ignoring them, found that Li Mu was drinking tea peacefully and didn't pay attention to their small deeds, and slowly everyone became quiet. down.
Seeing that everyone was almost quiet, Li Mu put down his teacup and said, "This time I came to you to discuss with you about disaster relief food."
Li Mu didn't beat around the bush at all, and explained his purpose of coming at the beginning, but everyone was puzzled when he said this.
The Huangshang was in charge of the disaster relief food. In other words, Li Mu was in charge around here, so what did it matter to them?
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but Li Mu said again: "Now that I, Daning, have signed a peace agreement and an armistice agreement, I think life will definitely get better and better in the future. No, the first emperor issued an order for disaster relief and poverty alleviation, and my lords didn't order it." express?"
Li Mu said this very frankly, without the slightest concealment, he was completely empty-handed, asking for food.
Hearing Li Mu's words, everyone looked at each other again, and Li Mu immediately laughed angrily.
Li Mu is reaching out to them for disaster relief food?
What are you kidding? !
The matter of the disaster relief food is clearly the responsibility of the imperial merchants, so what does it matter to them?
Besides, even if Li Mu wanted something, he didn't ask for it as blatantly as he did. A beggar still knows how to say something nice.
"Boss Li, are you joking with us?" The first person who couldn't bear it was an elder who was sitting not far from Li Mu's hand. He was obviously an old but respected person among the group. , should have been in this business for many years.
After the elder opened his mouth, someone immediately greeted him: "Boss Li, your imperial businessman is responsible for the food disaster. What does it have to do with us?"
"That's right! Are you kidding us? If so, the joke is not funny."
Not only were everyone blown up, but even the magistrate who was sitting next to Li Mu had an extremely ugly expression at the moment.
Originally, Li Mu suddenly appeared in his government office, and he had been delaying to give him relief food, he already felt very strange, but now that Li Mu did this trick again, his face naturally couldn't look any better.
Could it be that Li Mu is really planning to be a white wolf with empty hands, and if he is not going to give him the disaster relief food distributed by his superiors, he is going to take it for himself, is he a profiteer?
Even Master Qin didn't know much about the medicine sold in Li Mu's gourd. Seeing that Li Mu opened his mouth and stretched out his hand to ask everyone for food, his face turned pale.
Zhong Xiuyuan was the calmest among the crowd, not because he wasn't surprised by Li Mu's actions at the moment, but because he felt that since Li Mu could open his mouth, he would naturally have a way to make these people take out their things obediently.
Moreover, he knew Li Mu's character. Since Li Mu had already set up such a big banquet, if these people were not stripped of their skin, they probably wouldn't be able to get out of this door.
Under the mottled night of the lake, Li Mu didn't argue with these people, but waited quietly until everyone finished talking before he spoke again.
"Daning looks like this now, and all the adults are all famous people around here. Are you really not going to express it?" Li Mu said.
Everyone who had already laughed angrily because of Li Mu's words just now, saw that Li Mu seemed to be really planning to ask them to get something, and now their faces turned dark.
"Master Li, what do you mean by this?" The old man in charge jumped up, "This disaster relief is the business of Emperor Daning, so what does it have to do with us?"
"That's right, Mr. Li, stop joking with us. Disaster relief has always been the responsibility of the government. I'm just a small business. What does this matter have to do with us?"
"If Boss Li is deliberately teasing us, then I won't accompany you and leave."
Immediately after having the first person, there was a second person. Five or six of the thirty or forty people in the courtyard immediately stood up and wanted to say goodbye to Li Mu.
Looking at the group of people who turned around and walked towards the door, Li Mu let out a bang and put down the teacup in his hand.
His actions were a bit rude, and his voice was loud, causing those who were about to leave to stop, and looking back, it also quieted down the people who were chattering around.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan understood a little bit. He moved his hand on the knife stuck in his waist, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.
Although Li Mu is the protagonist at this moment, and he is just a guard standing behind Li Mu, but the murderous intent in his eyes at that moment was seen by everyone.
Seeing Zhong Xiuyuan's appearance at this moment, the steps of those who were about to leave have stopped.
They didn't believe that Li Mu really dared to do anything to them, but the murderous aura on Zhong Xiuyuan didn't seem like a fake.
Although there was a bit of atmosphere in everyone's hearts, no one wanted to be the first bird, so these people were all quiet for a while.
"Hahaha..." At this moment, Li Mu suddenly laughed.
He almost laughed out loud, as if he had seen some wonderful joke, and everyone was at a loss.
In the night, Li Mu laughed for a long time before getting up.
He held a teacup in his right hand, turned it gently, and occasionally put it under his nose to sniff it, as if he was drinking the tea in the cup.
Seeing Li Mu's mysterious appearance, everyone who was originally angry in their hearts became quiet at this moment. They were completely confused, and they didn't know what Li Mu wanted to do.
"My lords, don't worry, I was just joking with you just now." Li Mu walked a few steps in front of the table and stood in the middle of the crowd in the courtyard.
Because of what happened just now, everyone was already aroused by Li Mu. At this moment, Li Mu's casual joke naturally caused everyone to stare angrily.
Li Mu didn't give them a chance to speak again, but said again: "Didn't I just take over the errand at the entrance of the nearby Huangshangtang, so I want to get to know everyone, but it seems that the joke is too much Please don’t mind, everyone, don’t take it to heart.”
Hearing Li Mu mention the matter of the Imperial Merchant, the faces of the thirty or forty people were all different for a while, some of them became more angry, but some of them stopped to think about what Li Mu wanted to do.
After the joke was finished, Li Mu changed the subject, and his tone turned a little cold, "But this joke is a joke, and I can apologize to everyone here if the joke is not funny, but this is the disaster relief food, everyone should get it!"
The anger of the crowd, which had been calmed down just now, was instantly aroused by Li Mu again.
"Li Mu, what on earth are you trying to do?" Among the crowd, someone who was too young to hold his own was already pointing at Li Mu and began to curse, "This matter of disaster relief is none of my business, why should I give you disaster relief food! "
"What place do you think this is? Do you think this thing is so easy to ask for, did you, the yellow-headed kid, ask for it?"
The crowd was furious, and they stood up to accuse Li Mu one after another, and attacked him in groups.
Seeing the people getting more and more angry, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't hold back anymore, he took a step forward and stood beside Li Mu, he silently pushed the long sword at his waist with his fingers, revealing the cold light on the blade.
As soon as the cold light of the knife edge was exposed, the group of people instantly fell silent as if they were being strangled by the neck.
They dared to scold and speak in front of Li Mu, but after all they were just a group of ordinary businessmen. Although it was not uncommon to see murder and arson in the war-torn era, when it was their turn, they were still soft-footed.
Just when everyone was quiet, the old man who spoke at the beginning spoke again, "Master Li, what do you mean by teasing us? Why don't you just say what you have to say."
Li Mu looked back at him, with a sincere smile on his face. The old man was really angry at first, but he calmed down slowly later. He is indeed the respected one among this group of people.
Seeing that someone helped him build the steps, Li Mu didn't continue to provoke everyone, but said softly: "We are all doing things for the people above, and of course what we are doing now is what the above explained, of course it is to release food for disaster relief. , but now how many refugees there are around here, everyone is more self-aware than me..."
In short, although I am doing things, I have no food.
At this moment, Li Mu's behavior is obviously a bit shameless, and regardless of whether Li Mu has food or not, even if he really has no food, it is a bit too shameless to come to trouble them like this.
Everyone didn't speak, because the old man thought about it for a while and then said, "This disaster relief matter is indeed a headache, but we can't help you with this matter. , don't you think it's a bit deceptive?"
Li Mu smiled, if it were any other person, his behavior of asking for things with this mouth is indeed a little too much, but now all the people who come here are the people on the list he asked for from Master Qin before.
It would be wrong for other people to be treated like this, but the people on this list are not wronged at all.
It was an era of war and chaos before, and under the circumstances that they were close to the battlefield, it would be a joke to say that these individuals really made money from their real skills.
As far as he knew, among the [-] to [-] people standing in front of him, there were a dozen or so who made money from others, and the rest of them had unclean hands and feet.
In the previous ten years, Daning had been in war, so many refugees fled by selling pots and irons. These people couldn't afford clothes and couldn't get sick.
And among the thirty or forty people in front of him, there were food sellers, cloth sellers, and medicine sellers, but all of them were taking advantage of the war to raise market prices to fill their own pockets.
Even Master Qin, his smuggling of medicinal materials can be regarded as making a fortune.
Although they did make some money, the money they made was not clean.
Since the income is not clean, it's not too much for him to use it to help these disaster victims at this critical moment, right?
After hearing the old man's question, Zhong Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, looked at the old man with a proud expression, as if he was questioning him, so what if he was deceiving too much?
Seeing Zhong Xiuyuan like this, the old man's face was as black as coal.
Li Mu turned his head and glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan next to him, Zhong Xiuyuan immediately softened his posture slightly, obeying orders and no longer targeting the old man.
"The so-called entering the temple to worship the gods, I still understand the truth, but this matter has to be prioritized. It's not that I have no choice but to reach out to everyone. Everyone is accommodating, so I can handle things easily in the future." Li Mu said He said begging for mercy, but his tone was cold.
After finishing speaking, Li Mu added another sentence coldly, "Since the matter of the imperial business has been settled, everyone will live in the same place in the future. Don't make things difficult for me, and I don't want to make things difficult for everyone."
Now that the matter of Huangshang has been settled, it means that the nearby halls will be supervised by him in the future.
These individuals are all in business, business people, unless your business is not big, or sooner or later you will ask him.
After hearing Li Mu's words, everyone finally understood that Li Mu was not reaching out to ask them for money for nothing, he was not empty-handed, he was clearly robbing!
Brazenly grab!
002.
He is holding the identity of the imperial merchant and suppressing them.
He is now an imperial merchant, if they don't obediently give him some benefits, then they will have a good life in the future.
Although this is normal, no matter where it is, this kind of thing is not uncommon, but no matter what others do, it is done secretly and secretly, but Li Mu is the only one who spread the matter out.
Hearing Li Mu's unreserved words, and seeing Li Mu's cold attitude that they don't want to leave unless they give something, everyone didn't know how to respond for a while.
If Li Mu didn't have the identity of an imperial merchant behind him, it is estimated that many people in their group would rush forward and grab Li Mu's collar to shout, but they are all in business, and it is inevitable that they will...
Moreover, the identity of this imperial merchant can be said to be big or small, and if it is big, the chamber of commerce near them will also be under his control in the future.
If Li Mu intentionally made things difficult for them in the future, insisting that there was something wrong with their goods, confiscated their goods or closed their shop, then they would have no place to cry at that time.
This group of people have been in the business field all year round, they have seen all kinds of rogues, but if Li Mu insists on playing rogues with them, there is really nothing they can do.
They can still get someone to drag out other people and beat them up. Do they dare to beat Li Mu?The answer is obvious, they dare not.
In the face of such a rascal, what can I do if I dare not beat him, and dare not scold him?Then you have to be obedient and calm down.
For a moment, the entire courtyard was silent, and there was no sound.
The atmosphere became a little quiet for a while, and everyone was full of anger, but they dared not speak out.
Even Zhong Xiuyuan, who was standing behind Li Mu, had a bit of twitching at the corners of his mouth at the moment. Li Mu's rascal character really wasn't a little bit.
Master Qin's face was also very exciting. He originally thought that Li Mu had such an ingenious method, but now he is a little dumbfounded.
The adult above him used his identity as an imperial merchant to suppress Li Mu, Li Mu said that he followed suit, and turned his head to imitate the people below him.
I don't know, if that adult knows that he has raised the relief food in this way, how wonderful the expression on his face will be.
"Then Master Li means that if we don't cooperate, there will be no place for us in the future?" Just when everyone was afraid to speak, the old man who had talked to Li Mu before said something quietly.
This old man has obviously been in this industry for a long time, and he should have some contacts in this area, so compared to the fear of Li Mu that others have, he is not that afraid.
Li Mu had been prepared for a long time. Seeing what this person said, he immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Actually, that's what I said. I'm also giving you a chance to develop."
After hearing Li Mu's words, the old man couldn't help but look at Li Mu more.
If Li Mu confronted him head-on at this moment, he would immediately walk away, and he would face Li Mu in the future.
But Li Mu suddenly turned a corner like this, and he was subdued, so he couldn't leave. "What is the opportunity for development?"
"Think about it, everyone. Daning has just signed an armistice contract. Needless to say, it will get better and better in the days to come. The better the days are, the better the business opportunities will be. That's it. Right?" Li Mu slowly advanced.
Everyone didn't speak, just waiting for Li Mu to continue.
"Nowadays like this happens to be the time to become famous. If you want to expand this business, word of mouth is still very important. Why don't you take this opportunity to build a good reputation." Li Mu said.
After Li Mu said this, everyone looked at each other again, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.
"Everyone sitting here is a smart person, you should understand what I want to say." Li Mu didn't say clearly.
The rest of the people didn't quite understand what Li Mu was trying to say, but there were indeed some smart people among this group of people. For example, the old man who had been talking to Li Mu just now had a bit of a smile on his face.
Li Mu has been quietly watching the crowd, remembering all of the quickest responders in his mind.
He has no intention of being an enemy of these people, if this time things can get through these people safely, he will win them over instead.
It's better to be friends with smart people than enemies.
"Are you serious?" Just as Li Mu was sizing up the rest of the people, the old man turned around and asked Li Mu, wanting to get a guarantee.
"Of course it is true!" Li Mu nodded.
After a short pause, he continued: "The name of this disaster relief can be given to you. You can put your name on each disaster relief site, but the food for disaster relief must pass through my hands."
After hearing Li Mu's assurance, the old man's eyes flashed again, and he had already started to add up.
The rest of the people listened to the conversation between the two, and some of them had already come to their senses, bowing their heads and talking with each other.
But Li Mu stood up again at this time, and he said apologetically, "To be honest, I was really forced to come up with such a way. The people above asked me to distribute things, but the disaster food I got was not at all. The number is not enough, so we can only make a bad move.”
Li Mu's words were brilliant, his softness made everyone who was glaring at him a little bit annoyed.
These days, although the higher-ups say they want to distribute disaster relief food and help the victims, everyone knows how many of the things that come down from the upper levels go through layers of hands and end up in the hands of the refugees below.
Li Mu's previous affairs in Anfu, he only knew about some big businessmen like Mr. Qin, and news of small businessmen in these places was not so fast.
They only know that the new imperial business has been finalized, and the person who has finalized it is called Li Mu, who raises ducks in their mountainous area.
"Okay, I'll help you with this matter." The old man stood up, hugged Li Mu, and walked out the door.
Seeing his free and easy appearance, Li Mu couldn't help showing a bit of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
This is obviously a matter of cooperation, but because of this person's words, now he owes these people a favor.
After the old man opened his mouth, the rest of the people who wanted to understand quickly followed suit, expressing their willingness to 'help'.
Being forced by Li Mu to hand over the disaster relief food, and helping Li Mu find a way to rescue the disaster together, making Li Mu owe them a favor, are two completely different things.
After the old man started, the people in the courtyard basically came to their senses slowly. Even if they were slow to react when they saw that the others agreed, they all followed suit, thinking about going back later.
After sending everyone away, Li Mu returned to his desk and sat down.
Master Qin who was standing aside also sat down, then shook his head, looked at Li Mu helplessly, "You kid..."
Li Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, his face should have been expressionless, because his actions now have a bit of evil spirit.
Seeing Li Mu like this, Zhong Xiuyuan's heart beat a beat slower, and he also laughed along with Li Mu.
Those individuals thought they had taken advantage of it, and made Li Mu owe them a favor. One by one, they threw off the initial anger and now they are leaving happily, without feeling at a loss.
However, Master Qin and Zhong Xiuyuan, who watched the matter from beginning to end, saw it clearly.
Where did those people get cheap?
Those people were clearly tricked by Li Mu!
At the beginning, Li Mu deliberately provoked them, just to make them angry and impulsive, then Li Mu deliberately put on a weak posture, letting those people be led by the nose by him, and finally this intentionally made them feel that he was taking advantage...
There is a saying that goes, "If you are sold, you still help to count the money." It probably refers to these people who are now like this. They obviously paid for their own things, but in the end they still feel happy that they have taken a big advantage.
"It's all thanks to Master Qin for your help." Li Mu thanked Master Qin again.
Master Qin stood up, "It seems that I don't need to worry about your matter anymore, you can handle it by yourself. I will go back in two days and explain the situation to the lord, so that I can settle your matter completely. come down."
After Master Qin finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Xiuyuan, who was addicted to acting as a guard, and shook his head funnyly and left.
From the beginning to the end, the magistrate had a somewhat dazed look on his face. Seeing a few people say such words at this moment, he finally came back to his senses.
His eyes turned back and forth on the three of them, but he didn't say anything in the end.
After being an official for so many years, he also understands some truths. All he wants is disaster relief food. No matter where Li Mu got it from, as long as Li Mu makes up for the disaster relief food, he doesn't care.
003.
When he came out of the yard, the street was already very quiet, it was already late, and everyone on the street had already fallen asleep.
Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan did not go back all the way with the magistrate, but they walked slowly, like taking a walk, towards the county government under the night.
On the deserted street where the red lantern was hung high, the two walked side by side, their figures stretched out by the light of the lantern.
I don't know when it snowed in the sky, the snow was not heavy, like goose feathers flying all over the sky.
Zhong Xiuyuan followed Li Mu, stepping on the snow on the side of the road that he hadn't had time to sweep.
There are many strange patterns on the snow. It seems that they were drawn by children during the day. Some of them can still be seen, while others have been blurred by footprints and the snow in the sky.
As he walked, Zhong Xiuyuan bent over.
Li Mu stopped in doubt to see what he was going to do, but saw Zhong Xiuyuan bent over and grabbed a handful of clean snow from the ground and got up.
Li Mu was puzzled, could there be something on the ground?
Li Mu was puzzled, but saw that Zhong Xiuyuan pinched the snow in his hand and formed it into a circle. The next moment, he threw the ball forward and smashed it on Li Mu's chest.
Li Mu stared at his movements, and also watched the snowball hit his chest and then explode. After he was stunned for a while, he realized that this person was throwing a snowball at him.
Zhong Xiuyuan was also a little stunned. He was just looking at the children's paintings on the ground at first, and thought of throwing snowballs at people on a whim.
Who knew that Li Mu would not dodge or dodge, and would stare at the place where he was smashed for a long time, before he came back to his senses that he was smashed.
Li Mu's stupid and slow reaction, obviously made Zhong Xiuyuan amused.
He bent down again to grab a handful of snow, then squeezed it in his hands, making a snowball about the same size as before, and aimed at Li Mu and threw it at him.
This time Li Mu was on guard, and instead of letting him smash it, he caught the snowball.
The snowball was not tightly squeezed, it was already in Li Mu's hand, and it immediately fell apart, making him covered in snow all over his body and cuffs.
Zhong Xiuyuan was completely overjoyed now, Li Mu usually had a serious and meticulous appearance, but now he was this clumsy and foolish person who was being bullied, which made him feel cute no matter how he looked at it.
Zhong Xiuyuan bent down again and grabbed a handful of snow again, this time he grabbed a lot.
When he grabbed the snow and squeezed it into two snowballs, he turned around and found that Li Mu was already ready for battle, apparently already fighting him.
With Li Mu's face like this, and this serious face playing seriously, Zhong Xiuyuan finally couldn't hold back, and chuckled softly.
After Zhong Xiuyuan made the snowball, he raised his hand to throw it at Li Mu, but Li Mu stopped and looked serious.
Zhong Xiuyuan moved the snowball but didn't throw it, but Li Mu moved left and right because of his movement, and kept his eyes fixed on his hand.
"Hahahaha..." Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing, this person is really cute.
Hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's laughter spread in the night, Li Mu also understood now that he was being tricked.
He ignored the hilarious Zhong Xiuyuan, took two steps forward, took some snow from the side that was placed on the fence, and gently squeezed it between his fingers.
Seeing Li Mu like this, Zhong Xiuyuan immediately got excited, and he hurried to squeeze the snowball, ready to fight Li Mu.
The two of them didn't have such childish personalities originally, but at this moment in the quiet and deserted street, both of them had a bit of playfulness in mind.
Probably because he solved the troubles in his heart, he was in a good mood, and even Li Mu had a smile on his face.
Zhong Xiuyuan prepared several snowballs in his hand, and then looked at Li Mu provocatively, only to see that Li Mu only had five or six small snowballs the size of peanuts in his hand.
Seeing Li Mu like this, Zhong Xiuyuan felt that he had the chance to win, so he picked up a big one and threw it at Li Mu's body.
This time Li Mu didn't pick it up, but dodged it sideways, and the snowball hit the ground in the distance.
When one hit failed, Zhong Xiuyuan immediately threw out the second snowball in his hand, but for the second and third, Li Mu seemed to have eyes all over his body, no matter how hard he threw it, he still couldn't hit it.
Zhong Xiuyuan saw that all the snowballs in his hand were thrown away by him, and he bent down to catch the snow again. As a result, when he slackened, there was a slap on his buttocks.
Instinctively, Zhong Xiuyuan covered his buttocks, stood up, and then he slapped his forehead again, "Ouch!"
This time he saw clearly that it was Li Mu who hit him, and Li Mu flicked out the small snowball the size of a peanut in his hand with his fingers.
Li Mu didn't know where the strength came from, the snowball was obviously so small, it just made him hit a bit of wind, although it didn't hurt when it hit his body, but it hit firmly.
The first hit was on the butt, and the second hit was on the forehead. Li Mu turned his wrist, and the third hit was already on his fingertips.
Seeing this, Zhong Xiuyuan put down his hand covering his buttocks, and while aiming at Li Mu, while being on guard, he prepared to bend down to pick up the snow.
How could Li Mu give him such a chance?Seeing him bend down, the third snow directly hit Zhong Xiuyuan's forehead again.
"Ouch!" Zhong Xiuyuan put out his hand to cover his forehead, ignoring the snow on the ground.
It didn't hurt much when it hit his body, but it was so cold that it made him shiver.
However, Li Mu seemed to be addicted to playing. With his wrists turning all the time, those snowballs the size of small peanuts hit Zhong Xiuyuan's body frequently. Hit far enough to jump straight on the spot.
But the good times didn't last long, and soon he ran out of snowballs in his hand, and the two of them ran out of ammunition and food for a while.
Almost at the same time, both of them bent down to pick up the snow on the ground.
After grabbing a handful, the two young generals, who had honed their swords and killed countless enemies on the battlefield, rolled on the ground neatly, avoiding the snow that fell from their original positions.
In the next moment, the snowballs in the hands of the two were coming and going, flying towards each other in this silent street.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help it, and begged for mercy while avoiding the little snowball in Li Mu's hand that was still hitting him constantly.
"Okay, I admit defeat, admit defeat..." Zhong Xiuyuan tried hard to hold his forehead.
Li Mu didn't know where he learned this way of hitting snowballs, but he still hit him very accurately, every time he hit his forehead or buttocks, which made him feel ashamed and annoyed.
Hearing Zhong Xiuyuan begging for mercy, Li Mu didn't stop until he had hit all the snowballs in his hand, then he clapped his hands and let Zhong Xiuyuan go.
Zhong Xiuyuan covered his forehead and hid for a while, seeing that Li Mu's hands were empty as he was walking slowly forward, he put down the hands on his forehead.
The two walked forward again, Zhong Xiuyuan slowly approached Li Mu with his hands behind his back.
After approaching Li Mu, he walked next to Li Mu, until he squeezed Li Mu to the side of the road, he turned around and hugged the man.
Li Mu looked at the person hugging his neck, "Why?"
Zhong Xiuyuan didn't speak, he leaned forward and kissed Li Mu's lips.
A light touch, a warm touch, a warm breath, someone you love deeply.The two hugged and kissed quietly at the street corner, as if time stood still at this moment.
"Li Mu..." After the kiss was over, Zhong Xiuyuan stepped forward and kissed Li Mu's lips lightly, and then he moved violently.
He tore off Li Mu's clothes at the back of his neck, and threw in the snow that had been in his hand for a long time.
After throwing the snow into Li Mu's clothes, Zhong Xiuyuan turned around and ran, looking back at Li Mu who was shivering from the ice while running, laughing nonstop.
Li Mu, who was originally warm in heart, was caught off guard by this blow. He stomped his feet while sucking in air-conditioning, trying to get the snow out of his clothes.
But the snow got into his clothes, it was not so easy to get it out, he stood there, tossing for a long time, the ice was choking.
But at this moment, Zhong Xiuyuan had already run away with a smile, looking at him from the far corner with a look of success.
Li Mu finally emptied all the snow from his clothes, patted his clothes again, grabbed a lot of snow from the ground coldly, and then walked towards Zhong Xiuyuan step by step.
Zhong Xiuyuan was not stupid, how could he wait for him to catch him, so he turned around and ran away.
The two ran one after the other in the middle of the snow, and quarreled for a while before they both stopped panting.
Normally, they don't think that, but now the two realize that it takes some physical effort to play around like this.
Seeing that he was approaching the gate of the government office, Zhongxiu looked at Li Mu from a distance, and after confirming that Li Mu did not hold snow in his hands and had no chance to stuff snow in his clothes, he slowed down and waited for Li Mu to be side by side with him. go home.
Because Li Mu was punished before, although Li Mu didn't hold Xue in his hand now, Zhong Xiuyuan was still a little scared, so he was always on guard.
The two entered the government office one after the other, and after knocking on the door of the courtyard where they lived, Zhong Xiuyuan relaxed his vigilance, and couldn't help but look at Li Mu with trepidation.
Counting it, this is the first time he has been courted by Li Mu for a long time.
Hearing the knock on the door, Zhong Manlu, who had been waiting in the yard, came out to open the door. Seeing the two people guarding the door, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Who are you?" Zhong Manlu looked at the two of them amusedly. Could it be that the two of them rolled in the snow?
Although it was snowing in the sky, no matter what, there was no way to make the two of them into this embarrassing appearance.
Now, both of them have piles of snow on their heads, their clothes are also covered in snow, their fingers and faces are red from the cold, and they can tell that they just played a snowball fight.
The combined age of these two people is over half a hundred, and one is still the original general. It's snowing in the middle of the night, why don't you come back quickly, and actually play snowball fights on the road, something that he and Yun'er don't play!
"Brother, why are your clothes wet?" Zhong Manlu pointed to the area near Li Mu's stomach, where the clothes were wet a lot.
Hearing this, Li Mu quickly took out the snow in his stomach.Earlier, in order to let Zhong Xiuyuan relax his vigilance and approach him, he stuffed a handful of snow in his belly.
Seeing Li Mu digging out the snow, Zhong Xiuyuan shrank his neck and hurried into the yard.
Zhong Manlu was dumbfounded by these two people, are they still children?
Especially Li Mu, who usually looks serious and serious, secretly hides snow in his clothes, how childish it is!
