C43 The second brother

There was nothing wrong with those words, but something seemed off about them. Chen Mu pondered for a moment before his mood turned sour. "Are you saying that you want to follow us in the future?"

She didn't want to bring an old swindler with her everywhere. She was someone who wanted to do business, and it would affect her image too much.

"Why not?" However, Forest Demoness did not seem to realize that she was not welcomed, and said as a matter of fact, "We are one family, it is only right that I follow my disciple."

"You're thinking too much." Chen Mu Mu recalled what Lu Jinfeng said when he woke up and bit his lips, "Old hero, your disciple's family is useless, not to mention eating three meals a day, now that you don't even have a place to stay, how can I raise you?"

"He doesn't have money, I do." Forest Demoness fumbled through her waist pouch and took out two pieces of silver notes, stuffing them into Lu Jinfeng's hands, "These two thousand taels of silver are enough for our family to eat for the rest of our lives."

Lu Jinfeng held the banknotes, his eyes revealing a look of doubt and fear, Chen Mu did not wait for him to speak, and coldly ridiculed: "Lu Jinfeng, you have to think this through, eating people's soft words means your life, if you take this money, when the sky falls, you will have to pay for it, or else you will lose your life."

Lu Jinfeng did not see it, but she saw that when she said those words, Forest Demoness's eyes quickly flashed with seriousness.

"Master isn't such a person. He won't harm me." Lu Jinfeng was slightly unhappy, but he didn't agree with her view. Instead, he gave the money back to Forest Demoness and said, "Master, I don't want this money. I'm young and my body is good.

The corner of Forest Demoness's mouth twitched: "Brat, you really believe what this girl has said. What can I possibly ask you for?"

"Your disciple has nothing, how can I make others covet it?" Lu Jinfeng laughed lightly, "But Master, you have already helped me a lot, I cannot accept this money. Using your own hands to feed a family is what a man should do. I don't want to get what I deserve without working hard. "

"Up to you." Seeing Lu Jinfeng insist, the Forest Demoness did not force him to do so and kept the silver. He snorted, "A steamed bun can still be calmly refused when placed in front of you, the amount of people who don't open their eyes these days is too little. As expected of my good disciple."

Whether these words were sincere praise or mockery, Lu Jinfeng could not do anything but lower his head and say: "I appreciate Master's good intentions."

"Simply put, I don't believe your master." Seeing Lu Jinfeng opening his mouth to speak, he hurriedly reached out to stop him, "Alright, alright, alright, don't explain. I know what you are thinking. When your disciple gets older, he won't get close to you, Master. "

He stretched lazily, put the bag back on his shoulder, and picked up the fortune telling signboard, "Since you don't want me to go, then I'll leave first. Kid, remember to use what I've given you."

He left as soon as he said he would. He jumped off the carriage and disappeared into the woods by the side of the road.

"Forest Demoness!" Lu Jinfeng was shocked, he shouted towards the forest twice, but there was no reply.

"His kung fu is so high, if he really wanted to reply you, he would have responded a long time ago." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu was not the least bit worried. Although Forest Demoness looked like a sloppy and unreliable person, he actually had a lot of flowers in his stomach, adding that his skills were good, let alone letting him sleep in the wilderness, even if he were thrown into a pack of wolves, he would still be able to escape unscathed.

"That's true." Lu Jinfeng muttered, he was in low spirits: "Chen Mu Mu Mu, when I rejected you like that, did it hurt Master's heart?"

"If his heart was so weak, how could he have been a fortune-teller? He might have already been angered to death by others. "Don't worry, his skills are far above yours. Nothing bad will happen to him." Chen Mu Mu Mu stopped him from shouting for the car to stop, and his expression turned fierce: "Lu Jinfeng, the sky is getting dark, you don't have his ability, do you want all of us to be snatched away by wild wolves?"

Lu Jinfeng listened attentively, and really heard the howls of wolves from afar. He could only shut his mouth in embarrassment, but his eyes couldn't help but look towards the forest beside the road, trying to find some traces of Forest Demoness in the dense forest.

Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu ignored him, and continued to urge Old Lee's head to drive faster.

She was not afraid of wild wolves, but humans. Although Lu Jinfeng did not notice it earlier, she could feel the sound of the wind and the killing intent coming from the forest.

There were people in the forest who were plotting against him, and when Forest Demoness jumped down from the carriage, he was not in a bad mood with them, but rather, he had gone to take care of the aftermath.

It was really strange, her body and Lu Jinfeng were both born and raised in the countryside, and due to their reputation as evil fiends, there were very few people in the village who would strike up a conversation with them, and they would feel no resentment if they did not communicate with each other. If it were not for the people of the village, based on what Lu Jinfeng said, he had not been to the village for long, who could he have provoked?

She just wanted to live a peaceful life, so how could it be so hard?

He was tense the whole way back to the village, but nothing dangerous happened.

Chen Mu paid for the carriage at the entrance of the village and followed Lu Jinfeng inside. At this time, the sky had already turned completely dark. Even if he extended his hand, it would be difficult for him to see his five fingers.

The Apricot Rain Village was not considered big, only around forty to fifty families. The road from Aunt Wang's house to the village entrance was not far, Chen Mu Mu and Lu Jinfeng were already used to walking, even if there was no light at night, they would be able to walk steadily.

"It's been a long time since I've enjoyed such a peaceful night breeze." Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu opened her arms and took in a deep breath of the fragrance of the earth.

Ever since she was taken back to the city, she had studied, done business, schemed and plotted until she turned her grandfather's case upside down. She was so busy that everything seemed to have settled down, yet she somehow managed to travel to this world.

Even though she had been sick, hungry, and cold, her heart was at peace. She was far away from the bustling city, far from all sorts of scheming and scheming, far from the busy and dark life. Although there were many difficulties and disharmony here, there was still a warmth that she hadn't felt in a long time.

Whether it was Madam Lee, Lu Jinfeng, Aunt Wang, or the Old Lee's head, everyone's lifestyle and attitude were different, but the hearts of their hearts were extremely pure and thick. When contact with them, one did not need to use his or her brain to guard against everything, nor did they need to think about plans and plans all day, truly a comfortable and peaceful day.

Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu slightly closed her eyes and took a deep breath in, but Lu Jinfeng did not speak, she was as calm as ever.

Chen Mu Mu was a little baffled. "Aren't you usually rather noisy? You seem to have become mute in the past few days?"

"If you don't open your mouth, you'll look like a lady from a noble family. The moment you open your mouth, you'll look like a wild cat scurrying around." Lu Jinfeng's voice was light, "Chen Mu Mu, you are making more and more people unable to understand."

Not only did this little brat not have the habit of ridiculing her, he even published an essay on literature? Could it be that the night wind was too refreshing that it could even train his brain?

The corners of Chen Mu Mu's mouth curled up in a smile. Her mood today was extremely good, hence it was rare for her to enlighten him.

"Life is something that you don't understand. If you understand everything, then you will see nothing. Life is meaningless. There's nothing bad about being mysterious."

"Chen Mu Mu, you have many secrets on you." Lu Jinfeng evaluated.

"You too. You have a bunch of secrets on you." Chen Mu Mu smiled. "However, who doesn't have their own secrets? It doesn't matter if you don't hurt others. If you don't ask me, I won't ask you either."

"Actually, your purpose is to gag me." Lu Jinfeng hit the nail on the head.

"You've already discovered this. Incredible. Your brain has become smarter." Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't bother to cover it up and just laughed.

"Idiot!" "Childish!" Lu Jinfeng scoffed, laughing at her.

"If you have the ability, then you're smarter than me. You earn more money than me." "If you are able to do so, I will admit that you are smarter than me."

Lu Jinfeng, "... "You win."

The two of them were in a good mood when they went out. However, when they arrived at Aunt Wang's house, they were shocked to find that it was a mess.

The emaciated Aunt Wang was comforting Madam Lee, but Madam Lee did not listen to her at all, she was crying so hard that she felt like she was about to puke out her heart and lungs.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Lu Jinfeng hurried over, and supported the Madam Lee who was about to faint, "Who bullied you again?"

In Lu Jinfeng's memories, Madam Lee was a very strong woman. Since young, at the very least, she had encountered countless of life difficulties and suffered countless of grievances. She had always worked hard to be strong in front of him, but in private, Lu Jinfeng had seen Madam Lee secretly wipe her tears many times.

Seeing Madam Lee crying, he also felt sour in her heart, and anger started to surge.

"Are you the shameless bastards of the Lu Family?"

The candles in the room lit up, and under the weak light of the candles, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu saw that Aunt Wang's eyes were red, and felt her heart stabbing into her chest.

Women were a vulnerable group after all. It was indeed hard for two widows to avoid being bullied.

She opened her mouth, but just as she was about to greet them, she looked around and the conversation changed: "Aunt Wang, what's going on with this house? Did we encounter a thief?"

"Not a thief." Without waiting for Aunt Wang to speak, Madam Lee cried out in pain, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

This wasn't the time to be blaming himself. Chen Mu's lips twitched as he looked at the empty room that didn't even have a single chair remaining.

The Madam Lee was too emotional, it seemed like she wouldn't be able to get anything out of us, so Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu turned to Aunt Wang and said, "Aunt Wang, we've only been in town for two hours, what happened to our family?"

"Sigh, what a sin." The Aunt Wang shook her head and looked at the Madam Lee who was crying bitterly, "Xiao Feng's second uncle came over. He didn't get any silver and took away all the valuable things in the house."

Chen Mu Mu Mu knew that Lu Jinfeng's second uncle wasn't any good person, and at the same time, she knew that Madam Lee and her son had borrowed second uncle's money.

But, "The several tens of coins that I owe second uncle, haven't I paid them off a few days ago? Why is he here to cause trouble?"

After pausing for a moment, he thought of a possibility and looked at Madam Lee in disbelief. "Mother, you didn't hide the money and didn't give it to second uncle, right?"

That Second Uncle of Lu Jinfeng's was a top quality product, with several tens of copper coins that could trample a person to death. He did not care about family and kin, the Madam Lee actually still dared to drag his money?

Even if they sold everything they had, they would still have to pay back the money they had earned. Furthermore, it wasn't as if they couldn't afford to pay it back!
