Let's follow the king, little master

In a blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching, from summer to winter, when it is the end of the year, Li Mu realizes that he has been gone for less than a year.Looking at the lively streets, every house is decorated with lights, but the scene is still the same.

One place has one custom. There are no open-faced women in Moqing County. They all come out with their faces covered like the people in Peihua Temple, and they will also wear gray cloaks. The masked person is a woman.

Men are not so particular about it, but everyone uses a cloth headband to fix their hair. The gray coarse cloth can be seen as a poor peasant at a glance, and the golden ribbon can be seen as a rich family at a glance. The distinction is obvious. I didn't see a few people with golden ribbons, and one or two appeared on the street, and others walked around.

Yu Che found a restaurant and ordered some vegetarian dishes and sat down with Li Mu.This restaurant is considered to be a relatively large restaurant in Moqing County, at least it is the largest one that Yu Che and the others have seen at a glance.There are not many customers in the restaurant, probably because of the festival, there are fewer people coming out to eat.Yu Che originally planned to take Li Mu to the private room on the second floor, but he didn't want Li Mu to be attracted by the old man singing on the first floor.

The old man played a musical instrument that Li Mu had never seen before. Beside the old man, there was a child beating the snare drum, playing a few notes for the old man from time to time, which was very wonderful.Seeing that Li Mu was happy to hear it, Yu Che took out some silver taels and asked the waiter in the shop to hand them over to the old man.

After the song was played, all the dishes on the table were ready.Li Mu's face darkened when he saw the food on the table, and he looked at Yu Che.Yu Che knew why he was doing this, he put vegetables in his bowl while smiling and said:

"It's rare to have a good meal in this desert, and you can only spend the Chinese New Year here, so naturally you have to eat more hearty."

"Your money is not for nothing, you have to save some money."

"Don't save me, I earn money to spend it for you."

"That's right. That means I can do anything with your money." Li Mu put down his chopsticks and looked at Yu Che.

"Yes." Yu Che also looked at Li Mu with great interest.

Li Mu stood up and walked out of the restaurant. When he came back, he brought behind him two beggars who were begging at the gate of the wall when they entered the city.Li Mu brought them to the table, asked them to sit down, and then sat on the side by himself. Just as he was about to pick up the chopsticks, he heard Yu Che say:

"It's better to call all the beggars in this city, and let's celebrate the new year together."

Li Mu looked up at Yu Che, and saw Yu Che whispering something to the two beggars, and then the two beggars quickly ran out.Yu Che found the shop waiter, handed him the bank note in his hand, and asked him to fill all the empty dining tables with food and prepare them.

Sure enough, not long after, dozens of beggars rushed into the restaurant one after another, but every time they entered, they bowed to Li Mu. Li Mu bowed embarrassedly, and Yu Che beside him couldn't stop laughing.Li Mu glared at him, and finally Li Mu simply hid behind Yu Che.While the two were arguing, the old man who rapped brought the child to Li Mu. Li Mu saw the two walking towards them and hurriedly saluted, but the old man smiled and said to Li Mu:

"Presumably, the little master no longer remembers us."

Hearing this, Li Mu looked at the old man and sized it up a few times, but he still didn't see why. The old man was wearing a tile-colored coarse cloth, with a white ribbon on his head to curl his hair, and his gray beard had already arrived. jaw.Li Mu followed the old man's hand and looked at the grandson he was holding. Seeing the child smiling at him, Li Mu's mind suddenly flashed the child named Qi'er who was hiding behind Bai Bao'er when he first met.

Li Mu squatted down, pulled the child over, sized him up, and said happily:

"It's Qi'er, right?"

The child nodded sharply, and kept calling "Brother Mu" to slip into Li Mu's arms.Yu Che beside him turned dark when he saw this scene, and said with a low snort:

"I didn't know you had a younger brother in this desert."

Li Mu rubbed Qi'er's head in his arms. After arriving in the temple that day, Qi'er had been in the temple for a few days due to the old man's illness. Although he was recognized by everyone at the beginning, he was a sensible child.

Li Mu found that he often gave his grandfather the fruit that others gave him. Although Li Mu himself was still a child, he naturally liked such children very much.However, Qi'er never washed his face when he was in the temple. Even if he and Yu Che became acquainted in the future, his face was always dirty when playing in the river. This face is very delicate, no wonder Li Mu almost didn't recognize it.

"The old man lives here?" Li Mu stood up and said to Grandpa Qi'er.

"Exactly, I haven't recognized it yet, but Qi'er recognized it first. But I was too shy to come, and seeing this young master gave me a bounty, I am very grateful." Grandpa Qi'er looked at Yu Che and said.

"This amount of money is nothing." Yu Che looked at Qi'er as he said this, and even hugged Li Mu while speaking. Li Mu frowned and wanted to hide, but he didn't dare to make too much movement.

"Looking at the new year, little master can't go back to the temple in time." Grandpa Qi'er said.

"Since we can't make it in time, we can only pass on the road. We still have something to do, so let's say goodbye." Yu Che took Grandpa Qi'er's words, and after speaking, he wanted to stop Li Mu from leaving.

Li Mu didn't say that he would definitely stay, but Qi'er didn't let go of his hand, so Li Mu turned to look at him, and Qi'er said:

"Brother Mu, why don't you go home and celebrate the New Year with me?" Li Mu's immature voice reached Li Mu's ears, and his heart softened. He nodded blankly, without giving Yu Che a chance to deny it.

Yu Che was riding a horse, and although Li Mu was in his arms, he remained unusually silent or moved.Li Mu coughed lightly, tilted his head to look at him, saw that Yu Che was expressionless and didn't look at him, so he lowered his head slightly.

"Anyway, we don't have anywhere to go to celebrate the New Year. You said that it's only five or six days' journey from here to Yunyao Mountain Villa. It's not in a hurry." Li Mu said softly.

"You know that's not what I'm angry about." Yu Che said.

"People said I agreed, but you said that you don't want them to ride in the carriage, and I also agreed to the two of us riding on horseback, just stay for a day." Li Mu said.

"Look." Yu Che said and nodded angrily, Li Mu also looked forward, and waved to Qi'er who was sitting in front of him on a two-wheeled cart pulled by a donkey, Yu Che grabbed him "You are still waving at him in front of me."

"He waved to me and I ignored him. We're going to their house to eat and drink for free." Li Mu said.

"Look at the way that kid looks at you." Yu Che said.

"Do you think everyone looks at me like this when you look at me like this?" Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "How old is he?"

"Tell me what I think of you." Yu Che laughed when he heard this, put his arms around Li Mu, and leaned his head on his shoulder.

"Let go of me, there are still people ahead." Li Mu said with a frown.

"I just want to let him see." Yu Che said and let go of the hand holding the horse rope.

Yu Che hugged Li Mu with one arm, put his hand on Li Mu's head with the other, and kissed him on the cheek.But they didn't want Li Mu to pull over the horse rope, one tensed to the left, and the two turned around.Then Li Mu took advantage of Yu Che's sway and got off the horse directly, walked a few steps quickly with light work, got on the donkey cart in front, and sat beside Qi'er.

Yu Che turned his horse's head and looked at the two who were chatting happily, his eyes were full of jealousy.
