Dream Hall

It didn't take long for the old man to finish the two bowls of noodles.

He was still wary of Lin Mu and Qiudi: "...What are you looking for me for?"

Lin Mu smiled gently and said, "Old man, don't be nervous, we are not from here, we came here just for the name."

The old man snorted: "Come here because of the name... let's go to Zuiyoulou."

Lin Mu looked at the old man's expression calmly: "Yes, it is said that there is a peerless beauty in Zuiyoulou."

The old man's face became ugly: "Beauty, calling a man a beauty, only you absurd people can do it."

There is no sense of gratitude in the face of those who give themselves alms.Lin Mu observed the old man carefully.

"However, this kind of absurdity suits him very well. He is an absurd thing." The old man made no secret of his disgust for Lin Xu.

Lin Mu poured a cup of tea for the old man.The tone was puzzled: "Old man, why do you hate him so much?"

The old man glanced at her, then at Qiudi, and stood up with a heavy face.He left without saying a word.

The night was approaching, and the two did not catch up.

Qiu Di concluded: "This old man should have gotten along with Lin Xu before."

Lin Mu nodded: "I see, he should come to beg again. Let's come again tomorrow."

So the two got up early the next day, and while it was still daylight, they arrived at the place where the old man was begging yesterday.

There were very few people on the street at this time, and only a few shops were open.

The figure of the old man came out from an alley. Although his feet were sloping, he walked not slowly and seemed to be in good spirits. There were several children behind him.

The children were hunched in clothes, thin and small, but they were all very energetic, and one even jumped up excitedly, with their feet firmly fixed on the two walls of the alley.

The old man immediately turned around and shouted, "Come down!"

The child immediately jumped down obediently, shrank his head, and stopped making any moves.

After arriving at the place, the old man waved to the children, and the children immediately dispersed and ran around.

Lin Mu and Qiudi looked at each other.Keep up with the kid who jumped on the wall before.

In places where there are no people, the child stands upright, and when he meets someone, he immediately picks up his stick and pretends to be blind.

Lin Mu stared at the child's back and said, "This blind man acted, and a really blind man would be convinced after seeing it."

Qiudi quarreled: "The really blind can't see."

Lin Mu: "..."

After the child finally settled down in one place, the two came to the child as if nothing had happened.

Qiu Di put a coin in as usual, and made a special sound, and immediately saw the child bowing towards the direction of the bowl with unfocused eyes.

"Thank you Bodhisattva, thank you Bodhisattva."

The child is also smart, so I didn't say thank you to my sister.

Lin Mu also acted with him: "Hey, it's so pitiful that he is actually blind at such a young age."

The child answered: "My sister is a bodhisattva, I have been hungry for several days, please treat me with a stutter."

I have to eat after only giving the money, and the child is quite good.

Lin Mu endured the thought in his mind: "Okay, but, I think you are fine except for your blind eyes, so you can't do anything?"

The child shrank back, looking hurt by Lin Mu's words.

Ordinary people are embarrassed to say anything when they see this, but Lin Mu is not an ordinary person, and it's not like she doesn't know that this kid is acting.

So Lin Mu looked at the child with his eyes wide open, and kept asking, "Do you really know nothing?"

The child also knew that if he didn't let Lin Mu see anything, Lin Mu would not let him go, so he forced a smile: "There will be a little knowledge, I learned from my grandfather when I was young, and my grandfather passed away. It’s been so long, I don’t know if I can still do it.”

It's going to be a sellout just for a while.

Lin Mu was very cooperative and cheered: "Don't be discouraged, the future is bright."

The child stood up, supported the wall, and suddenly made a somersault. The movement was very smooth, and it could be seen that the child had practiced a lot.Immediately afterwards he leaned back and fell to the ground, looking very funny.

But Lin Mu knew that he wanted to use wrestling to cover up his true strength, so that Lin Mu would not doubt him.

Sure enough, Lin Mu didn't make things difficult for him anymore: "Oh, be careful."

The child sat up with an apologetic smile on his face: "I made my sister uncomfortable."

Lin Mu smiled and said, "No."

At this moment, Qiudi just bought some meat buns and came back. The meat buns were still steaming hot, but the child was so determined that he didn't take a look at them, playing the role of the blind man very well.

Lin Mu took the bun and put it in the child's hand.

The child sniffed the top of the paper bag, and then made a surprised expression: "Thank you sister, thank you sisters."

Qiudi never said a word from the beginning to the end, nor did she have any contact with the child.

Lin Mu didn't expose the child's flaws because he was too happy.

The two left the child's begging place.

Lin Mu looked at the hand that he just put the bun on the child's hand, and said slowly: "That child has many wounds on his hand, not the kind of work, but the kind cut by a sharp knife. He seems to practice martial arts. .”

After listening to Lin Mu's analysis, Qiu Di said, "We may be able to find their residence along the alley they came from."

The two first bought some meat buns, and then walked into the alley.

The alley is very narrow, the back doors of several houses face each other, and most of them are walls.

The two walked in, it was obviously a summer day, but Lin Mu felt the chill in this alley.

The autumn flute wrapped her right hand.

Qiudi frowned: "Ah Mu? Your hands are so cold, are you uncomfortable?"

Lin Mu expressed his feelings: "I feel very uncomfortable staying here. It's okay at the entrance of the alley. The more I come in, the more I feel."

Looking at Qiudi's worried face, Lin Mu smiled: "But it's okay, maybe it's because I'm a little claustrophobic."

Qiudi didn't stop caring just because Lin Mu said so, she said: "Otherwise, I'll go alone, you wait for me in the inn."

Lin Mu shook his head: "Let's go together."

Qiudi looked at Lin Mu's face that was still in the past, sighed, and compromised: "Then if you feel uncomfortable, tell me, let's get out of here."

Lin Mu nodded meekly: "Good sir."

Looking at her smiling face, Qiu Di leaned over and kissed the corner of her mouth: "It's my husband."

Lin Mu shook his head: "Adi, you have become oily. But I allow you to oil me."

Chiudi smiled.

……

The two finally came to the door of a family.

Why is it in front of the door, because the other back doors are full of rubbish, but the door of this person's house is relatively clean.

In fact, the most important thing is that the two of them saw the broken bowl that the old man used yesterday in front of this door.

The bowl broke in two.

The door wasn't locked on the outside, but it wouldn't open.

Lin Mu guessed that there was someone inside.

Knocked on the door.

There was no movement.

Qiu Di threw a coin in.Then said: "Your grandpa asked us to bring you food."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a ringing in the door.But still no one came to the door.

Lin Mu also said: "He told us something, so we decided to treat you to eat. He has trouble with his legs and feet, so we came to find you in person."

Saying this has filled in some holes.

The sound inside the door became clearer, probably right in front of the door.

Lin Mu continued his efforts: "There are only two of us, you are so powerful, you shouldn't be afraid of us, right?"

This time, the insider finally made a sound: "Are you really called by Master?"

The voice sounded like that of a girl.

Then a voice appeared again: "Master must have called, otherwise how would they know that we live here."

Lin Mu smiled.

Sorry, the place where you live is too easy to find.

So after waiting for half a minute, the wooden door opened.

The door was opened by two children, a boy and a girl.They don't look very old, not more than eight years old.

Lin Mu glanced inside, and found that there were five or six children inside, most of whom were under eight years old.The oldest one looked to be eight or nine years old.

But a blind man.

Really blind.

The eyes are covered with a thick layer of white cloth.

His face also looked very gray.

Lin Mu seemed to understand why that child could play the blind man so realistically.

The little girl timidly said, "Sister, are you here to bring us food?"

Lin Mu came back to his senses: "Yes."

Qiu Di handed over the bun, Lin Mu took it, and then handed it to the little girl.

The little girl hesitated to take it.

Then he said to the two of them, "Sister, do you want to come in and have a seat?"

Lin Mu nodded.

This looks like a yard, but the children are guarding here, and there are many bricks in the yard.The blind boy came by with a stick.

waved.

The little girl ran over quickly.

"Brother Chang."

Xiao Chang's voice was immature, but calm: "Distribute the food to the younger brothers and sisters, they didn't eat anything last night."

The little girl nodded obediently and distributed a meat bun to each child.

There were a few left, and the little girl took one herself.

Xiao Chang asked: "How many more, is it enough for them to come back and eat?"

The little girl hesitated a little, and put back the bun she just took.

Lin Mu felt uncomfortable watching it, she forced a smile and said: "It's okay, enough, if it's not enough, I'll buy it for my sister."

Xiao Chang hurriedly said, "Thank you sisters."

The little girl also bowed to the two of them.So the children in the yard stood up and bowed to the two.

Lin Mu felt uncomfortable, so he didn't speak.

After the children had finished eating the buns, Lin Mu didn't feel the pain in his heart anymore.

It's not because she sees the children's distress, she really hurts her heart.

She bent down slightly, grabbed her chest, and Qiu Di immediately supported her: "What's wrong? A Mu?"

Lin Mu felt so painful that she couldn't speak, the pain gradually intensified, and her complexion became more and more ugly.

Qiudi hugged people horizontally.Just as I was about to go out, I felt that the hem of my clothes was caught.

Her anxious and impatient eyes scared the little girl, and the little girl said in a low voice, "We can take a rest here, there is a reason why this sister is not feeling well..."

Qiu Di had no choice but to carry Lin Mu and walk with the little girl.

When she came to a room, the little girl opened the door, and there was puffs of white smoke inside. Qiu Di looked over and found that the incense was burning on the wooden table in the center of the room.

However there was no taste.

White smoke entered his nostrils, and Qiudi also felt uncomfortable.The situation of Lin Mu in his arms was even more serious.

The little girl hurried in, spooned a little incense ash and brewed it together with water.Then it was brought to Qiudi.

"Give my sister a drink."

Qiu Di hesitated: "Is this drinkable?"

The little girl nodded like a pounding garlic, Qiu Di saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so she had to feed Lin Mu drink by mouthful.I raised my head and drank the remaining half of it.

The incense ash melted into the water, and there was no smell, and the discomfort on my body disappeared with the water.

Lin Mu also gradually came to his senses. Although his face was still pale, it could be seen that he was no longer uncomfortable.

I will continue to work hard in the new year! (stand flag)
