Not only did Chen Mu Mu Mu feel strange about Lin Banxian's words, Lu Jinfeng also noticed the problem.
His eyes moved around as he looked at Lin Banxian with a smile that was not a smile: "Taoist priest must have seen wrongly. During the day, my grandmother even wanted to punish my mother for not looking like a member of the Lu family."
"That's because you don't look like a member of the Lu family, not like your mother." Lin Banxian didn't think so. He paused for a moment and looked at Lu Jinfeng's face with a deeper meaning, "Oh, I forgot. Your face doesn't look like Madam Li either."
This godly guy, he seemed normal during the day, but why did he go crazy at night?
However, a person who could speak crazy words was not necessarily a madman. Chen Mu Mu looked at Lin Banxian with interest and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Unlike the villagers, Lin Banxian said that Lu Jinfeng looked neither like his father nor his mother. He didn't say it to ridicule Lu Jinfeng because he might be a bastard, but rather to remind Lu Jinfeng … Well, he was a bastard.
Lu Jinfeng had already thought of what Chen Mu could think of. His face darkened as he said, "Lin Banxian, I respect you for being a good person. Don't spout nonsense."
Good people? Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at Lin Banxian with a strange expression and quietly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
This strange and mysterious old fogey, other than his appearance which lacked a trace of immortal energy, how could he tell that he was a good person?
However, Lu Jinfeng, who was extremely cautious, said this. There must be a story between the two of them.
"Do I speak nonsense? Do you not have any confidence?" Lin Banxian retorted, "You never suspected that your face didn't resemble your parents at all?"
It was from Old Wang next door. Chen Mu Mu Mu nearly retorted.
"No doubt about it, I am my parents' child." Lu Jinfeng's breathing became a little disorderly for a moment, then he decided to speak.
"Then what about that poison on your body? The poison that almost took your life, how did you get it? You didn't suspect it either?" Lin Banxian continued to ask.
"What's there to doubt? A lowly life, if it's gone, then it's gone." Lu Jinfeng clenched his fists quietly, but his expression did not change, "Now that my poison is gone, I don't want to listen to the reason."
Chen Mu could hear his trembling and his resistance, but Lin Banxian didn't seem to hear it. He opened his mouth and asked: "Lu Jinfeng, do you want to know your background?"
This godly stick didn't have any discernment. It was obvious that Lu Jinfeng was objecting to his words, yet he was still blabbering on and on.
"I don't want to." As expected, Lu Jinfeng refused without any hesitation.
This decisiveness caused Lin Banxian's smile to freeze for a moment: "But, fate is turning in circles. Sooner or later, what should come will come. If you continue to hide, you will definitely regret it."
"Mu Mu, let's go." Lu Jinfeng turned around and left expressionlessly.
A child's temperament. If they were unhappy, they would be upset. At least, they should listen to what others have to say before making a decision. Moreover, this brat didn't want to know what the old Daoist Priest had done to his ruined house? Chen Mu Mu Mu looked at Lu Jinfeng's determined and lonely back, shook his head and followed.
"Little girl, he doesn't like to hear it. This world is going to change very soon. If we don't make some preparations, we won't even know how we died. " Lin Banxian said loudly from behind her. His voice was not soft. It wasn't only Chen Mu who heard it, even Lu Jinfeng, who had walked a short distance, heard it.
Glimmers danced in Chen Mu's eyes as he turned around, "Lin Banxian, tell me honestly, is something going to happen next?"
"You can't leak it." Lin Banxian smiled and turned around gracefully. With a tap of his foot, he disappeared among the ruins.
Pretending to be ghosts! What kind of show was that? Did she think that she did not know that it was Qing Gong? Did he think that just because he could fly, she would treat him as an immortal?
Chen Mu was secretly disdainful in his heart as he followed behind Lu Jinfeng, "Brat, you seem to know something?"
The words of Lin Shenqian were too abstract, she couldn't understand it, but if Lin Banxian could say it, there must be people who could understand it.
For example, the history of Lu Jinfeng.
"I don't know." Lu Jinfeng answered decisively, so decisively that it seemed as if he had a guilty conscience.
"Lu Jinfeng, I'm also a part of your family. You knew there was danger, but you didn't say it out loud. Do you have any conscience?"
"I don't know what the danger is." Lu Jinfeng glanced at her, "I just don't want to know what he wants to tell me."
That made sense, since his biological parents didn't want him anymore, naturally, the arrogant Lu Jinfeng didn't want to recognize them either.
"However, there are some things that will not happen unless you want to ignore them." Chen Mu Mu Mu was a little worried. Lin Banxian's words made her feel as though a storm was brewing.
"Do you know? Lin Banxian has a nickname in the martial arts world, called Madman Lin? " Wu Tie said.
"Is it that you can't believe what he says?" If that was the case, how could the Village Chief possibly get along with him? That old man seemed to not be a fool.
"There are people who can't believe five points of the letter. They don't believe the truth, they don't believe the truth, they don't believe the truth. What does anyone who listens to hear about it think?" Lu Jinfeng smirked, "There is a saying among this Taoist that says that he has a hobby of keeping people in the dark. Forget what you have to say about him; if you believe him, you'll be in trouble."
Chen Mu Mu was speechless. You better cover up your guilt before you say that!
Perhaps because he was in a bad mood, Lu Jinfeng didn't say anything along the way. He didn't think about looking for the 665 copper coins anymore. After he returned, he immediately went to sleep.
As usual, he was the one sleeping on the floor while Chen Mu was on the bed.
In the middle of the night, Chen Mu Mu Mu secretly opened her eyes and saw Lu Jinfeng sitting cross-legged, flipping through a book from time to time.
"..." The family that had initially felt like they had been bullied, suddenly felt that something was wrong everywhere.
Time did not stop because of people's worries. Dawn arrived at the appointed time.
When Chen Mu Mu Mu got up and washed up, Lu Jinfeng was already preparing breakfast with Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang asked, "Mu Mu hasn't woken up yet?"
Lu Jinfeng said, "Anyway, she has nothing important to do, so let her sleep for a while longer."
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "That girl sure is fortunate to be able to love her so much."
Chen Mu Mu snorted. Was this considered as doting on her? It wasn't even dawn yet, wasn't it normal for someone to be sleeping?
"Mu Mu, why are you standing here and not entering?" Madam Li asked as she came over with a basin of water. She was standing by the door.
"I just arrived. I was just about to go in." Chen Mu replied, his gaze sweeping over Madam Li. "Mother, you haven't recovered from your injuries. How come you're up so early?"
Madam Li's injury looked a bit too frightening on the outside, but it actually didn't hurt her muscles or bones. She said that she would be fine after a day or two, but it was fine if she didn't rest, walk, or do some heavy work. According to Madam Li's character, she was lying down uneasily. Could it be —
"You still want to go to the town and wash people's clothes?"
"Not today." Madam Li shook her head, her gaze a little evasive as she sighed. "Let's settle the matters at home first."
Chen Mu had always felt that she had something to hide, but since Madam Li didn't want to tell her, she didn't ask.
After they had breakfast together, they began their day's work. Madam Li and Aunt Wang went to the vegetable field to weed, while Chen Mu Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng went up the mountain to pick herbs.
However, the wild herbs on the mountain were limited. Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng had been busy for three days, and the herbs they had harvested could only be sold in the town for 200 copper coins.
Lu Jinfeng and Chen Mu Mu looked at each other, and Chen Mu Mu couldn't help but sigh. "We already said that we would only eat when the mountain is empty, and we didn't even eat the mountain when it's empty. In the future, it'll probably be even more difficult." What made her even more depressed was that she was only able to earn two hundred copper coins after busying herself for three days.
Compared to the last ten silver, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. However, he had found rare medicinal herbs last time. This time, they were all ordinary medicinal herbs and it was not impossible to understand why their prices would be lower. However, the fact that they were so cheap still made his heart feel uncomfortable.
Lu Jinfeng raised his eyes and looked at her, "What, after getting over a hundred silvers, you aren't interested in these two hundred coppers anymore?"
"It's just that I don't think much of it." "Could it be that you think that with just a few hundred copper coins, you can feed our family?"
"Can't you?" Lu Jinfeng said lightly, "It's more than enough for us to eat for two to three months."
"I don't want to have porridge with you." Thinking of the porridge he ate during the first few days after waking up, Chen Mu Mu Mu trembled in fear.
She was still willing to work hard to earn more money. If she couldn't even fill her stomach, how would she live her days?
Lu Jinfeng was silent. He didn't reply to her but instead said to her, "Before we go out, mother asked me to pull out two feet of cloth for you to make your clothes. Let's go to the cloth village to have a look."
"It's time to make some clothes." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't put on airs and followed behind him.
She was still wearing only one set of clothes. Although she could wear Madam Li's, Madam Li only had two sets of clothes. Furthermore, she could not sew up the old clothes, so she was too embarrassed to touch them. He still had some spare money from selling the herbs this time. How could he not buy some clothes?
Although Lu Jinfeng didn't go out much, he had grown up in Xingyu Village. He had come to the town a few times, and before long, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the village.
There were a huge crowd of people, and there were a lot of different kinds of cloth. It was simply dazzling to see a silk workshop covered in silk. Not only was cloth and silk were sold, but clothing was also sold.
Chen Muyuan wanted to buy two sets of ready-made clothes, but Lu Jinfeng immediately ran over to the pile of clothes.
"Look, what kind of cloth do you want?"
Chen Mu's mouth twitched, "I want to buy some clothes." She was lacking in clothes, not in cloth, but most of all, she was not an omniscient queen, and her needlework was completely useless.
Buy her a piece of cloth and go out as soon as she wraps up the cloth.
"A set of robes costs at least sixty to seventy copper coins, while a set of cloth only costs four to five taels of silver each." Lu Jinfeng slightly shifted his gaze away, not daring to look at her burning gaze. "Tear off a two feet cloth, and my mother will be able to make quite a lot of clothes."
"I want to get dressed." Chen Mu Mu Mu's eyebrows fiercely twitched as she recalled Madam Li's coarse and simple clothes. Although she didn't have the intention of looking at the village girl, she really didn't like her old-fashioned style.
"If I don't have enough money, I can earn that much. Lu Jinfeng, I don't want to feel wronged over food anyways."
Lu Jinfeng opened his mouth, then closed it again: "Then you choose."
"Yes." Chen Mu Mu Mu walked straight to the clothing area and flipped through a few pages. A look of helplessness flashed past his eyes.
These clothes were truly —
"Your Feather Workshop were in vain and it is also the largest cloth farm in all the lands. The style of these clothes, even dogs would find them ugly!"
Before Chen Mu Mu could express his opinion, a melodious voice sounded. She turned her head to see a young girl with a bun of fans holding onto a few pieces of silk clothing. She was in a dispute with the manager of the village. Her face was filled with impatience and depression.
