Wife is an enemy general

001.

After Li Mu gave enough exciting conditions, the speed of these people was quite fast, but the next day, Li Mu received the news that the disaster relief food had been delivered.

It would indeed be a big problem if Li Mu alone borne the disaster food for the four disaster relief sites, but after dividing it into thirty or forty shares and borne by different people, it would not be a problem.

If there is one, there are two, and soon, different disaster food will be sent from various places.

Faced with these disaster relief food, the prefect was the happiest person, after seeing Li Mu, his face burst into smiles for several days.

What made the magistrate even more happy was that probably because Li Mu's previous offers were indeed attractive, so after the delivery of this batch of disaster food, those people sent many people to help Li Mu distribute the disaster food. .

It's just that although these people were helping Li Mu distribute the disaster relief food, they were using their own names. Suddenly, people with different banners could be seen everywhere in several disaster relief sites.

Li Mu was happy with this, so he let them go and let them do it themselves.

After the matter of the disaster relief food was settled, Li Mu didn't stay any longer, but prepared to take Zhong Manlu and Zhong Xiuyuan directly to the mountain where they lived.

It has been a long time since they came out this time, and a lot of things at home have accumulated, and they have to go back to deal with them.

The batch of ducks he raised before should have grown up by now, and it is almost time to sell them, and the batch of ducklings he settled in Anfu before must be brought back as soon as possible, otherwise the weather will It's getting hot.

After making up his mind, Li Mu rented a carriage and prepared to drive towards Anfu.

The day before he left, after learning the news that Li Mu was leaving, the magistrate deliberately spared time to practice for Li Mu.

Although something went wrong in this matter, the disaster food was still delivered to the magistrate, so he was quite polite to Li Mu.

During the dinner, the magistrate personally poured wine for Li Mu, and then raised a cup to respect Li Mu, "This time, I owe it to Mr. Li. Please forgive me for being rude before, don't take it to heart."

Li Mu clinked glasses with him and drank it down. This magistrate is really a good person who cares for the people, and he has a good impression of this magistrate, "Where is it, thanks to your help, magistrate."

The two spoke in official accents, and after drinking for three rounds, they finally returned to their usual casualness.

"It's a pity that the neighborhood is too busy recently, otherwise Master Li must stay here for a while." The magistrate seemed to be a little overwhelmed with alcohol, after a few glasses of wine, his cheeks were flushed, and his speech was a little unclear.

"There will be opportunities in the future." Li Mu said.

The magistrate was chatting, but he brought Li Mu up again, "I heard that Mr. Li, your family raises ducks?"

Li Mu didn't intend to hide this matter, nodded his head, and waited for the next words from the magistrate.

Unexpectedly, the magistrate seemed to have thought of something and said with his tongue open: "Speaking of which, our land is really a land of outstanding people, like Mr. Li, who made a fortune by raising ducks in the mountains It’s really a lot.”

Hearing what the prefect said, Li Mu was a little surprised. It was the first time he heard that someone else raised ducks like him.

It's not like he didn't try to raise ducks or other domestic animals in their area, but most of them were raised casually at home, and the main source of income was farming.

"Master Li doesn't know yet, does he?" Seeing Li Mu's puzzled face, the magistrate smiled, "There was an imperial merchant in our place a few years ago, but they are a little different from you, they are not for the superiors. People do things, but they specialize in raising ducks that the people above them eat."

This is the first time Li Mu heard about it, so he was naturally a little curious, "Ducks that are specially raised for the people above?"

The magistrate smiled and said, "It's the so-called tribute duck, a tribute."

"The food in this palace is different from the food outside, especially the one who eats is carefully selected. There has been a saying of tribute dishes since ancient times. The pig, duck and fish are also specially prepared. channel." Zhifu and Li Mu said.

"Grand rice is quite common, but the amount of chicken, duck and fish is relatively less. However, in our land, there was a person who specially provided tribute to the palace in the early years..."

Li Mudao really didn't know about this matter, but from the prefect's mouth, Li Mu probably understood what was going on.

It is not without reason that they raise fewer chickens and more ducks in this area.Li Mu didn't think much about it at first, but now he understands a little bit after hearing what the magistrate said.

About six or seven years ago, when the great war had just started for a few years, and Daning was not as depressed as it is now, there was a place where they raised ducks near Qingmu, and the ducks they raised were all It is specially paid tribute to the people in the palace.

It is said that each of the ducks is extremely difficult to raise, and the taste is very delicious, not to mention eating outside, others even rarely see it.

Probably because of this, people around here are raising ducks, but chickens are rare.

But because of the war, those people all fled. Slowly, the ducks were no longer raised, and this craft was considered extinct.

Li Mu was not interested in what happened to those people, but he was somewhat interested in the extremely delicious and difficult-to-raise duck that the magistrate said.

"I don't know what kind of duck that duck is?" Li Mu asked while pouring wine for the magistrate.

Probably because of the different times, Li Mu has actually seen many duck species in this place that he has never seen before, for example, the duck with the white spot on the back that he raises now is extremely rare among them.

"I can't tell exactly what species it is and what it looks like. I haven't researched this thing, but it is said that the duck is all white, except for the soles of the feet and the lips are black." The prefect was a little drunk, relying on the appearance in his impression , probably as described by Li Mu.

"I don't know how many there are. I just heard that the duck is extremely difficult to raise. It is very difficult to raise fat and grows slowly. But it is said that this duck has amazed many chefs. If it is a soup, it does not need any condiments except salt. Go in, just stew like this, and the stewed duck soup has no fishy smell at all, it is extremely delicious and mouth-watering."

As he was talking, the magistrate's topic changed, and he talked about the soup, describing the soup as nothing on earth and only in heaven.

Seeing his appearance, Li Mu knew that this person must be drunk.

After talking to him a few more words, he wanted to take his leave and leave, so that the magistrate could go back to sleep quickly, and when the other people saw him, they quickly supported the magistrate and wanted to take him away.

Just as he was saying goodbye, the magistrate leaned on the wall and said to Li Mu: "Master Li, if you are interested, you can go and have a look. I remember that family and descendants live in Qingmu."

"Aoki?" Aoki was not far from their place, so he went to the pier and then passed.

"At the beginning, all the family members fled. Not many survived after such a long time. It is said that the duck Aoki can still be seen there, but because the craftsmanship has been lost, there are not many people who can keep them alive now. one."

The magistrate said a few more words later, but he was a little dizzy, probably he was really drunk, after Li Mu sent him away, on the way back, he was thinking about what the magistrate had said.

Those ducks with white spots on their backs that he raised before, I guess it won’t be long before these people will still figure out a way, and then other people’s homes will be able to raise them. If the number increases, the market price will definitely drop. down.

If he wants to make money from this, it will be difficult.

"Do you want to try?" After returning to the room, Zhong Xiuyuan asked Li Mu who was sitting on the bed silently while packing up their things.

"The whole body is white, but the feet and lips are black. I'm really interested." Li Mu didn't hide it.

When he was a child, the breed of ducks he raised at home was not single. In order to meet the needs of the market, he had changed several types in the past few years. It is not unknown to him that this kind of duck is covered in white, but he probably talked about it with the prefect. slidely different.

"How sure are you?" Zhong Xiuyuan asked again.

Li Mu withdrew his thoughts, looked at Zhong Xiuyuan in front of him, "We'll have to look at the specific situation to find out, and it's hard to tell now."

The words paused for a moment, Li Mu's eyes slid down Zhong Xiuyuan's face, and slowly landed on the position under his belly, "Besides, what kind of duck have I never seen?"

Zhong Xiuyuan's body tensed violently, and the place where Li Mu watched was rushing with blood. He bent his body slightly, and felt his mouth dry for a while.

Zhong Xiuyuan ignored the completely out-of-shape Li Mu, turned around, and continued to pack his luggage, but Li Mu's scorching gaze followed him all the time.

After Zhong Xiuyuan packed up all the things and put them on the table, he turned back with some annoyance, and stared at Li Mu fiercely, "What are you doing?"

This person kept staring at him so much that he didn't dare to straighten up at all, and the place was even more uncomfortable as if Li Mu had watched him on fire.

"I've been raising this duck for so long, and I'm thinking about when I should eat it." Li Mu was serious, and lightly tapped his fingers on his knee, trying to figure something out.

Zhong Xiuyuan, who was originally uncomfortable because of Li Mu's gaze, now felt his whole body was on fire after hearing Li Mu's words.

He opened his mouth, but his blood-red lips whispered out a few words for a long time, "Think about yourself!"

As soon as the whispered words were finished, Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't bear it anymore, the blood in his heart was boiling, making him wish he could find a hole in the ground and get in.

Li Mu thought for a while, but didn't speak again, as if he was really thinking about his own...

Seeing Li Mu like this, Zhong Xiuyuan felt even more uncomfortable, and his eyes couldn't help but always drift towards Li Mu.

The two have been together for such a long time, and they have already been honest with each other in the hot spring, so it's not like he hasn't seen Li Mu's thing before.

Now thinking about what Li Mu just said to eat when he grows up, Zhong Xiuyuan's brain is congested, and he always thinks of things that he shouldn't think about.

002.

Aoki is a little far away from Anfu where they are going, but if they go to Anfu first and then go back to Aoki, it will take some time, so after making up their minds, Li Mu decided to go to Aoki first, then go to Anfu to get ducks, and finally go home again.

The next day, they found the prefect who was drunk last night, and after asking about his specific situation, the three of them headed towards Aoki.

Counting it, it was not the first time for Qingmu Li Mu to go there. Before Zhong Xiuyuan left, he also ran to several nearby places in order to sell ducks.

Aoki is in the northerly direction from them, which is closer to the battlefield than theirs. It was already a bit bleak because of the exhaustion of the battlefield, but because of the armistice agreement, it has become lively again recently.

The specific location that the magistrate told Li Mu was on a mountaintop outside Qingmu City, no matter how specific the location was, the magistrate did not know very clearly, only a general idea.

Li Mu and the others stayed in the city after they arrived, and after spending several days asking around, they finally got the approximate location from some old shopkeepers in the town.

Seven or eight years is enough to change a lot, let alone such a chaotic and restless era of war.

Originally, these duck-raising families belonged to a big family. It is said that the ancestors were hunters. This duck-raising can be regarded as a handicraft handed down from the ancestors.

Their family has provided tributes to the people in the palace for generations, and they have accumulated some family assets in the early years.

But because they lived very close to the battlefield, when the war broke out, their side would suffer first.

It's not that their family didn't have money, but they didn't move out. Li Mu probably guessed the reason, probably because of those ducks.

Some ducks are suitable for raising in a certain climate range. If they really move away, they probably have to stop this craft.

It was probably true as Li Mu guessed, so the family never moved away, and the situation at home was really bad after being dragged far, so they fled.

But this escape caused this big family to be slowly wiped out in the chaos.

When Li Mu took Zhong Xiuyuan and Zhong Manlu to find the family that was said to have raised tributes in the mountains, there were only a few younger generations left.

In the desolate mountain village, several families that were even poorer than Li Mu's village were sitting alone on the mountain. Five or six white ducks were locked in the fenced yard. Seeing Li Mu, they all stood up and quacked.

There was a person in the small courtyard, a young man who was a few years younger than Li Mu. He was a little thin and looked a little malnourished.

Seeing this scene, if he hadn't listened to the magistrate's words, Li Mu wouldn't have been able to see that this ordinary farm family used to be a family that raised tribute.

"Excuse me, is this the Qingmuguan family?" Li Mu stood outside the fenced yard, clasping his fists at the young man in the fenced yard.

Hearing the words of Aoki Guan's family, the young man put down the things in his hands, and turned his head to stare at Li Mu warily.

"We don't have any malicious intentions, we just want to buy some ducks." Li Mu pointed to the thin white ducks in the yard.

The young people in the yard still looked at Li Mu warily, "This duck is not for sale, I eat it at home."

Li Mu had expected the rejection from the very beginning. After all, if this thing was really a tribute duck, it would be impossible to sell it so easily.

"I also raise ducks. I heard about ducks before, and I came here out of curiosity." Li Mu said.

"Duck breeder?" Li Mu's words caught the young man's attention.

Holding the dustpan in his hand, he stared blankly at Li Mu, and after a while he tentatively asked, "Is the surname Li at the pier?"

After hearing what this person said, it was Li Mu's turn to be surprised, "I'm here."

Li Mu just raises ducks near the town. Although he is quite famous near their small town, he is not so famous that it can spread here.

Li Mu was a little puzzled, but quickly realized it.

Although this Aoki has a pier, and Anfu looks quite big when looking at several big cities, but in fact it is just a place the size of a sesame seed.

In such a place the size of a sesame seed, there are not many ducks in the first place, so it is not surprising that this person knows him.

"Oh, then come in!" The young man opened the fenced yard from the side, he patted the dustpan in his hand to feed the ducks, and threw it aside.

"Are you here to buy ducks?" the young man asked as he entered the house.

Li Mu opened his mouth when he heard the words, and was about to say yes, but Zhong Xiuyuan who was next to him suddenly grabbed his hand and gave him a look that didn't want to be so.

Before Li Mu could be surprised, the young man walking in front had already entered the room, stopped, took several small glasses of different sizes from the table, and poured a glass of water for everyone.

It can be seen that his family is not well off now, even worse than when Li Mu was at the beginning.

Li Mu didn't understand what Zhong Xiuyuan meant, but Zhong Xiuyuan said respectfully instead of Li Mu: "We actually heard about the reputation of the Qingmuguan family, so we came here to ask for advice."

After hearing Zhong Xiuyuan's words, the young man sat down in the room, seeming to be thinking about something.

Li Mu looked at Zhong Xiuyuan next to him, wondering why he made such a big detour?

Zhong Xiuyuan patted Li Mu's shoulder in a funny way, telling him not to speak.

Li Mu seems to be quite smart, and he is really smart at ordinary times, but he can't get around some things.

People like the Aokiguan family, although they are down and out now, it can be seen that the arrogance in their bones is still there.

Although Li Mu wanted to buy ducks to raise, it was true.But when he opened his mouth and said directly to buy it, if he had a stubborn temper and was more self-admired, he would probably give Li Mu a bad look.

Li Mu seemed to understand, but Zhong Xiuyuan believed in what he did, so he didn't say anything.

The young man thought for a while and said, "I know you raise ducks, but you don't sell these ducks."

Zhong Xiuyuan was not in a hurry, just smiled, and said: "I heard before that the Qingmuguan family raises ducks that are white in color, extremely delicious, and extremely difficult to raise. Only the Qingmuguan family can raise them alive."

Zhong Xiuyuan's words were not in a hurry, but the young man was quite pleased with what he heard.

"We have been famous for a long time, so we took the initiative to ask people to come to our door, wanting to see what this duck looks like." Zhong Xiuyuan didn't mention the matter of buying ducks.

Probably what Zhong Xiuyuan said made the young man happy. He pointed at the ducks in the yard, and said indifferently: "If you want to see it, just look at it, it's there."

Those five or six ducks, Li Mu and the others, had already seen them. They were as white as the rumors, except for the parts of their paws and lips that were pitch black, and although the ducks looked like they had grown up, they were all extremely thin. .

Li Mu didn't know how energetic these ducks were usually, but now that they saw him, they stuck their heads out of the fence and squawked happily in his direction.

Seeing this scene, the young man was also a little strange, he couldn't help but look at Li Mu more.

Li Mu looked at the ducks when he first entered the yard, but now he doesn't look at those ducks at all, and treats them as transparent.

"This..." Zhong Xiuyuan went out to look around, but he only saw these five or six ducks.

A few years ago, Qingmuguan's family had a great reputation for raising ducks. Even if they escaped during this period, there shouldn't be only so few ducks left.

"Don't look for it, that's all that's left now." The young man seemed to see what Zhong Xiuyuan was thinking at a glance.

These ducks were caught by his ancestors in the mountains in the early years. At first, they were domesticated and eaten by his family. Later, they gradually became famous and became rare things.

After generations of raising by his family, the number of ducks was quite considerable in the past few decades, but because of the chaos in Daning some time ago, their family suffered, and these ducks are not much better. Now there are only a few ducks left up.

Hearing this news, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan couldn't help but look at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Now there are only five or six of the famous tribute ducks left?

If so, then...

The two looked at each other again, and both saw abandonment in each other's eyes.

If there are really only a few left, then they probably can't buy this duck.

Even if they want to buy them back and raise them, if they have no experience and don't know how to raise them, if they kill a few of them, they will really disappear.

Wanting to understand this point, Li Mu stopped being persistent, and turned his head to look at those ducks.

The ducks that had calmed down just now, when they saw Li Mu, they immediately regained their spirits, each with their necks stretched out, and they didn't know whether they were hungry and begging for food or they were aggressive to Li Mu.

"Do you really want to raise it?" The young man was even more surprised when he saw this scene.

"If it's inconvenient, then we don't want to make things difficult for others." Zhong Xiuyuan said, this is no longer a question of whether we can make things difficult for others.

Seeing Zhong Xiuyuan's backing down, the young man's expression turned cold, "You guys know how to retreat in spite of difficulties." When he spoke again, he was already somewhat unhappy.

Zhong Xiuyuan didn't speak anymore, but Li Mu said with emotion: "It's a pity."

The extinction of a duck breed is not important to Li Mu, he doesn't care about it at all.He just looked at these few ducks left, and he still felt a little bit emotional after all.

He thought of the ducks he raised, and when he thought about the ducks he raised, the expression on Li Mu's face seemed to be soft-hearted and annoyed.

The ducks he raised in the first batch and followed him to Yuan country are already in their fourth year this year.

The lifespan of most ducks is only about six or seven years. After all, those ducks have already spent most of their lives with him.Although he wasn't planning to sell or kill that batch of ducks, it was estimated that they would only have four years to live at most.

Thinking of this, Li Mudao felt a little uncomfortable.

Now that they knew that the duck was not for sale, Li Mu and the others didn't stay and bid farewell to the young man, and the group walked down the mountain.

Just as they were going down the mountain, when they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, the young man's voice came from behind them. The three of them looked back, only to see the young man chasing after him again.

"There are no ducks, but there are duck eggs, do you want them?" the young man asked slightly out of breath.

"Duck eggs?" Zhong Xiuyuan was a little puzzled.

"Yes." Li Mu immediately came to his senses.

"Then you come up with me to get it!" The young man led Li Mu up the mountain again.

Zhong Xiuyuan finally turned around when he reached the mountain. Although there were only five or six ducks, ducks can lay eggs, and they can lay more than a dozen in a month. If they can hatch, there can be many more. Duckling.

The young man had obviously been trying to figure out a way to hatch those duck eggs, so he kept a lot of duck eggs at home, roughly looking at least forty or fifty.

While picking out the duck eggs, he said to Li Mu: "I can sell the duck eggs to you, but I don't care about the rest."

Li Mu nodded straight.

Seeing the cute white duck eggs being taken out and placed in front of him one by one, Li Mu couldn't be happy.

If the ducks could be easily hatched and raised, the young man's family would not have only five or six ducks left.

"You are a sensible person." The young man didn't like Li Mu at first, after all, although his family was in the current situation, these ducks were of great significance to his family.

It can be seen that the attitude of those ducks towards Li Mu, and seeing that Li Mu doesn't seem to treat the ducks as a money-making item at all, and Zhong Xiuyuan is a person who can talk, now he has changed his view of Li Mu.

003.

He had heard about Li Mu to some extent, especially the rumor that Li Mu raised his batch of ducks to be good, and many people talked about it.

Now all the elders in his family have passed away, and the rest are only a few of their peers. The others have given up this craft and have gone down the mountain to find jobs to make a living. He is the only one who is still trying to support him. these ducks.

However, he tried countless times, and among the hatched ducklings, there were not many ducklings that could be raised alive.

Li Muzai carefully selected thirty duck eggs, and asked the young man for a bamboo basket, wrapped them in cotton clothes.

After paying the money that made him feel a little distressed, he carried the basket and walked down the mountain carefully.

After going down the mountain, Li Mu immediately asked someone to add a heater in the carriage, and put all the duck eggs in a warm place.Then he hurried to Anfu's side again, and took the duck he had ordered before.

After such tossing and tossing, half a month has passed, and by the time they drove the carriage back from Anfu, the weather had already shown signs of warming up.

After all, it was already the end of February and the beginning of March.In another month, the snow in this mountain will probably melt.

On the way back, Li Mu carefully waited on those duck eggs that didn't make any movement every day, for fear of knocking them.

Every day, Zhong Xiuyuan ate and slept and ate and ate. From time to time, he secretly touched his stomach with an annoyed expression, secretly thinking about gaining weight.

After passing the pier and heading to town, they encountered a group of refugees on their way.

After the armistice agreement was signed, many refugees tried to travel long distances to return to their former hometowns, and these people were one of them.

Because these people were walking in the same direction as them, and they were all on the official road, so when they rested on the road, they chatted with Li Mu and the others, and asked about the current situation in the vicinity.

Regarding the situation in the vicinity, Li Mu told the truth, and also told them which places there are disaster relief points in the vicinity.

Chatting with these refugees is an extremely interesting thing, because these refugees have traveled to many places and seen many things over the years, so many strange things cannot be experienced by those who stay in one place arrived.

Fortunately for Li Mu, Zhong Manlu was young after all, so he quickly attracted the attention of these people, and he would join them whenever he had time along the way.

Seeing that they are about to return to their hometown, the days to come will get better and better, and those people are also happy to talk about what they have encountered recently, so the team is very lively along the way.

These people walked while talking, and then they came to a restaurant in Qingmu.

Originally, when Qingmu was still prosperous, it was also a big city. In addition to the family of tribute ducks like the Qingmuguan family, there were also many other famous families.

There are many restaurants and restaurants, and there are several famous ones, probably because they are hungry, so everyone who talks about eating is excited, counting on their fingers, and quickly counted one, two, three. .

Hearing those people talking about food, Li Mu immediately pricked up his ears and listened quietly.

Together with Li Mu, Zhong Xiuyuan, who was driving the carriage forward slowly, couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and there was a bit of doting in his eyes.

Zhong Xiuyuan originally thought that Li Mu was a glutton in his stomach and committed another crime, but he didn't expect Li Mu to take the initiative to ask about the family's situation when he heard a few of them mention a restaurant named Qi.

"It seems to be a family of five, with three generations under one roof. There are two sons in that family, one older and one younger. The older one seems to have been taken into exile."

"I remember that family members seem to be dead, right?" Someone said.

"I remember the same thing. Something happened a few years ago. It seems that the old couple died, but I don't know what happened to the younger one."

"I don't remember the details, but I remember that they seemed to be fleeing to the south."

Hearing the people's discussion, you and I said one by one with uncertain news, Zhong Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Li Mu beside him, but saw a rare hostility on Li Mu's face.

"What?" Zhong Xiuyuan asked softly.

Li Mu was called back to his mind, he shook his head and didn't want to say more.

Seeing Li Mu like this, Zhong Xiuyuan immediately thought of the reason, "He is the person you are looking for."

Li Mu had said before that he wanted to find those who were in his team before and bring the news of the death to him.

Daning's army squads are all in the form of a team of five, Lao Hei, Yang Tiejun, Su Dayong, these three people plus Li Mu, there are already four in the squad.

Li Mu had been waiting for the fifth person's family to find him, but after all these years, there was no news.

About this person, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't know much, only heard from Li Mu when Zuo Yi passed away, that his family seemed to be in the food business, and there was a younger brother in the family.

During the war, no one in the barracks knew what was going on outside.It is easy to say to find someone, but it is actually extremely difficult.

People like Yang Tiejun are okay, everyone in the family is still living in the original place, and it is easy to find the past after knowing the name.But if someone like Su Dayong is fleeing from a disaster at home, in such a big world, where can he find someone?

Among the bunch of people Li Mu was looking for, Yang Tiejun was the best one to find, but the rest were more difficult to find than one.

Lao Hei never revealed his name at all, and Li Mu didn't even know where he came from!Needless to say about Su Dayong's situation, the last one, Li Mu's house was already empty when Li Mu came back.

Recalling the past, the corners of Li Mu's mouth could not help showing a bit of bitterness.

In fact, among all the people in their team, if Li Mu wanted to name his favorite, it probably had to be the one surnamed Qi.

Because, this person is just like him, a glutton in his stomach.

His surname is Qi, and his full name is Qi Xin. It is said that his family is in the food business, so he is the best in their team, and he likes to take Li Mu everywhere to toss delicious food.

But at that time, they were all in the camp, and they couldn't do anything. They only occasionally got the chance to set up traps with Li Mu and Yang Tiejun, trying to catch some wild game, but most of the time they caught These flying birds and big things are rare to see once in a few years.

But no matter what Yang Tiejun and Li Mu caught, he can always come up with tricks, and the taste is really good.

Therefore, his position in the hearts of everyone in their team is also the highest, and even Old Hei has to give him some face.

If you don't give face, well, next time you catch something delicious, you won't have a share.Due to his coercion, he was the captain of their team.

He was only a few years older than Li Mulai, and he was the youngest in their team before Li Mulai came.

However, he was not as lucky as Li Mu. When he came, Yang Tiejun and the others made a lot of trouble with him, so he and Yang Tiejun didn't get close.

Thinking of the past, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded. Suddenly, there was a burst of warmth in his hand that was placed aside. He looked down and saw that Zhong Xiuyuan's hand had already held his hand.

"Let Master Qin help me find out later!" Zhong Xiuyuan suggested.

Li Mu nodded, now it can only be like this.

They couldn't find any news before, but now they managed to find out the news, but it was all useless. This person, they still have to find it by themselves.

As the refugees returned to the small town where they lived, a group of people slowly and carefully went up the mountain with the hard-won duck eggs.

When they reached the top of the mountain, seeing Li Mu and the others coming back, everyone who was working at Li Mu's house surrounded him curiously.

Especially after seeing Zhong Xiuyuan, everyone couldn't help but look at him a little more.Xu Tian and Xia Jingming, who recognized Zhong Xiuyuan, hurried over to ask what was going on.

All of a sudden, Li Mu's yard was very lively.

Li Mu carried the duck eggs in his hand into the house, quickly found a warm place, and put the eggs away.

When he went out, those people in the yard had been sent away by Xu Tian and Xia Jingming, only Xu Tian and Xia Jingming were left in the yard asking Zhong Xiuyuan what happened during this period.

Some things are inconvenient to say, so Zhong Xiuyuan said that he was going back to see relatives at home, but he met a large army on the way, so he got separated, and it took a long time before he finally came back.

They had already thought about this statement a long time ago, so it is quite credible to say it now.

Seeing Zhong Xiuyuan's skinny appearance, Xu Tian couldn't help but say a few more words, telling him to eat more, and then he was dragged by Xia Jingming next to him to do something down the mountain.

After everyone left, Zhong Xiuyuan had free time to wander around here.

It has been two years since he left, plus the time he fled and hid in the deep mountains, he has not been in the mountains for three years.

The mountain has not changed much from before, it is still the same as he left before, but if you look closely, you can find that it has changed a lot.

The roof has been renovated, some broken furniture in the house has been replaced, and there are many tools in the yard, which should be used to feed the ducks or put the feed.

Standing in the yard, looking towards the direction of the duck shed that Li Mu built before at the foot of the mountain, the biggest change was there.

The duck shed, which was only faintly visible among the leaves before, is now very conspicuous, and the mountain has also undergone great changes. There was only a small peach blossom forest in the past, but now it is a large one.
