Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 257 Li Mu, I Seem My Dad

...

The street was bustling with people hawking and haggling with merchants to make the price cheaper. Li Mu came out of a pharmacy with packed medicinal materials in his hands.

The purpose of these medicinal materials is actually to condition Xiaobao's body. Although he is not as weak as before after half a month of training, it is far from enough in Li Mu's opinion.

If Xiaobao continues to stay in the town, his current physical condition is fine, but now he is traveling with Li Mu, and he does not know how many times he will go through the wind, sleep in the open, meet wolves, tigers and leopards by chance, not to mention the lonely souls Wild ghosts and other evil spirits.

Li Mu didn't expect him to be of any help, but just don't hold back too much.

Besides, Li Mu also promised him that he would teach him martial arts and Taoism. Taoism cannot be taught to him now, but there is no problem in practicing martial arts.

But when Li Mu was walking back, he suddenly found that the pedestrians on the street were calling for friends to go in one direction. Soon the crowded street felt much emptier, and after a while, he could faintly hear some The movement of firecrackers and drums.

"Old man, is there any happy event ahead?"

There was an old man who was setting up a stall not far from Li Mu. Li Mu had seen people picking and choosing in front of his stall just now, but they were all called away just now, so Li Mu leaned over to ask.

Because of the sounds of firecrackers and gongs and drums, Li Mu guessed that there might be some happy event ahead, and these pedestrians on the street were attracted to watch the excitement.

No matter at what time, joining in the fun is always the most ardent instinct of people, especially in today's era of limited information circulation.

"This guest is unfamiliar, he must be from another place!"

As soon as the old man sat down, he heard Li Mu's words, so he raised his head and glanced at him, then asked with confidence.

These traders have seen all kinds of people all the year round, and they have already developed a sharp eye. They can spot locals and foreigners at a glance, which is also their ability to see people order dishes.

"Yes, I just arrived today, the old man has good eyesight!"

"Damn, you don't know that. I rely on this pair of tricks to make a living. I can see whoever is in front of me clearly. It's real!"

"Excellent, what is in front of the old man?"

After receiving Li Mu's confirmation, the boss immediately bragged about how he had cultivated this ability with a grimace. Seeing that he was talking endlessly, Li Mu quickly returned to the topic.

"Oh...that's us, Mr. Tan, a squire, who joined the new residence. I heard that he invited people to come over for the lion dance. No, they all went to watch the excitement..."

Knowing from the boss that this is just a local squire's new house, Li Mu lost interest in it, bid farewell to the boss, and returned to the inn with the medicine.

"Little Treasure? Little Treasure?"

As a result, when he returned to the inn, Li Mu saw that there was no sign of Xiao Bao in the room, so he looked for him from upstairs, but he searched around the inn but couldn't find it.

"Shopkeeper, have you seen the kid who checked in with me?"

Just at this time, the female shopkeeper came out from behind the counter with a basin of water, Li Mu asked quickly.

"It seems that I went out with someone just now!"

The shopkeeper frowned and looked at Li Mu. After hearing what he said, she immediately remembered that she had indeed seen Xiaobao go out with someone. At first she thought it was Li Mu who was followed by Xiaobao, so she didn't care, but now Li Mu Right in front of her, she still doesn't know the seriousness of the matter.

"Don't worry, I'll ask for you."

Although she hadn't heard of any child abduction here, such a small child had just arrived in a strange place, and it would be very troublesome if it got lost, so the shopkeeper hurriedly comforted Li Mu, and then held it in his hand. As soon as the water basin on the top is placed on the counter, it bends over.

"Hey, who saw the kid who just went out?"

The shopkeeper came to the door of the inn and yelled at the vendors in the nearby stalls, and someone answered the next moment.

"Child? Is it so small?"

"Yes, yes! Did you see it?"

Hearing the words, the shopkeeper immediately looked at the speaker, his eyes lit up when he saw him gesticulating his height, and he hurriedly asked.

"I went over there. Isn't Boss Tan's new house moving over there today? It seems that I just followed someone to watch the excitement over there. Do you go over there to look for it?"

"Okay, okay, thank you!"

The shopkeeper thanked the vendor who provided the clue, then turned around and saw Li Mu there, and asked.

"You heard it just now. The child went there. Someone moved into the new house over there, and it was very lively. Maybe the child was attracted there. Don't worry too much. We haven't lost a child in this place for so many years. .”

"It's okay, I'll go over there and look for it."

The shopkeeper seemed even more anxious than Li Mu. After talking to Li Mu, he comforted Li Mu and planned to go look for him with him. However, Li Mu didn't worry too much about it. He was able to find him, so he asked the shopkeeper to stay, and he went there alone, so that if Xiaobao came back by himself, she could look after her.

After speaking, Li Mu walked towards the Tan family's new house. He didn't expect that he would go there to find someone just after inquiring about the Tan family's new house.

When I came to the new house, I couldn't help but feel a headache when I saw the gate of the house full of people. It was full of people, which made Li Mu worry that Xiaobao's little man would be crushed in the crowd. The difficulty of finding people has increased a lot.

"Little Treasure! Little Treasure!"

Li Mu tried his best to squeeze into the crowd, calling Xiaobao's name while paying attention to the children who were about the same height as Xiaobao, but his voice was covered by the sound of gongs and drums here, and it couldn't spread far.

But suddenly Li Mu saw a thin figure in the crowd shuttling between the crowd, and hurriedly squeezed towards him.

"I'm sorry, let me go, let me go!"

Shouting while pawing at people, Li Mu finally came behind the villain, grabbed his shoulders and turned him over.

"What are you doing here? How dangerous!"

The person struggling to shuttle through the crowd was Xiaobao. Seeing that he was sweating profusely and blushing, Li Mu couldn't help scolding him.

But Xiao Bao, who was reprimanded by Li Mu, was not only not annoyed when he saw Li Mu, but also pulled him eagerly.

"Li Mu, hurry up! Pick me up! I think I saw my father!"

Li Mu was taken aback by Xiaobao's words. His father died a long time ago, and his body was cremated. It would be a ghost to see him at this time.

But his father is a corpse demon, and his soul is bound to his body. When the corpse is gone, the soul is also gone, so it is even more impossible to become a ghost.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could you see your father?"

Although he said it was impossible, Li Mu still obeyed his words, grabbed his shoulders with both hands and pulled him out of the crowd like a carrot, while observing the crowd.
