Chapter 127: So This is How I Run
Upon hearing this, the two brothers hurriedly got out of bed to see their sister.
Mu Lao San stopped him, "The baby is still asleep, don't disturb him."
"Also, your grandfather asked you to keep watch tonight in case any bad guys come to our house."
The two brothers breathed a sigh of relief, but were also a little dejected. It was too painful that they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and had to stay up all night.
However, they did not dare to go against their grandfather's words.
The two brothers could only hang their heads and come to the door of the main hall, chatting incoherently while keeping watch.
So, the next morning, Baby Mu was very surprised to see his two brothers.
"Brother, why are you awake so early?"
She knew very well that her two brothers would sleep until they woke up naturally unless they were woken up by family members.
The two brothers stared at the dark circles under their eyes and sighed repeatedly, "We made a mistake."
They were not stupid enough to tell their sister about the burglars that broke into the house last night, as they did not want to scare her.
Mu Baobao said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions. It was common for his two brothers to make mistakes.
She skipped to Zhu's front and greeted her with a bright smile, "Grandma, good morning."
Zhu patted her head and smiled kindly, "Good morning, baby. Did you sleep well last night?"
Mubaobao nodded, then shook his head. "I seemed to hear a very loud noise last night. I was almost woken up by it."
Zhu's eyes flickered slightly, but her smile remained unchanged. "Maybe you were dreaming. Sometimes dreams seem like reality."
The family doesn’t plan to tell the baby about Li and Zhang Zhuangshi’s secret visit last night.
No need.
Mu Baobao believed it and stopped paying attention to the matter. "Grandma, Master wants to take me into the mountains today. He said he wants me to see some real herbs."
Upon hearing this, Zhu immediately called out to Qian, who was busy in the kitchen, "Third wife, please make some pancakes. Doctor Deng is going to take the baby to the mountains soon."
Qian responded and quickly took out the flour.
It uses white flour.
White flour is an extremely important good thing for farmers. It is usually taken out during festivals or to entertain guests.
"Mom, we're back." At this time, Mu Lao Da and Mu Lao Er walked in exhausted.
Mu Baobao asked curiously, "Uncle, Uncle, where did you go so early in the morning? You look so tired."
Mu Lao Da and Mu Lao Er looked at each other and said nothing about what happened last night. "I went to the fields."
Mu Baobao didn't doubt it and went to the kitchen to wash his face and hands. "Mom, what do you want to eat in the morning?"
Qian pinched her little nose and said with a smile, "You only know how to eat."
"I have your favorite egg custard, it will be ready for you in a moment."
When Mu Baobao heard about the delicious egg custard, his mouth watered with greed, "Great!"
She loves egg custard very much.
Outside the kitchen.
Mu Lao Da and Mu Lao Er were whispering to Zhu about Li's mother and son.
"Mom, we followed Dad's instructions. After telling the night watchman, we entered the town through the small gate."
"After entering the town, we were taken to the county government office. The county magistrate interrogated Li's family members late at night."
Hearing this, Zhu felt relieved. "And then? Did you find out how this mother and son escaped and how they ended up here?"
Mu Lao Er nodded, his eyes full of anger, "Li and Zhang Zhuangshi took advantage of the escorting officers' sleep to sneak away."
"This mother and son thought that if they could just escape and hide for a while, they would be fine."
Zhu was stunned, "Oh my God!"
"Even if I don't know the law, I know that he is a fugitive and will be caught for life."
"Besides, without a guide, where can this mother and son go?"
She finally saw what ignorance was. Li and Zhang Zhuangshi were truly ignorant to the extreme.
Mu Lao Er agreed, "Mother didn't see it. Li and Zhang Zhuangshi are still trying to explain it, saying they didn't really steal the baby, so it's not a crime."
Zhu, “…”
At this moment, she finally understood why Li and Zhang Zhuangshi dared to do so many bad things in the past.
Mu Lao Er continued, "The county magistrate directly sentenced Li and Zhang Zhuangshi to beheading."
"It's just that a serious matter like beheading needs to be reported. We can't just chop off the heads of this mother and child right away."
Zhu knew that the execution would be in the autumn, and she felt quite regretful, "I can't chop off the heads of this mother and son right away."
She felt uncomfortable just thinking that Li and Zhang Zhuangshi would have to live a little longer.
It's a waste of food to keep such a scourge alive.
Mu Laoer comforted her, "Don't feel uncomfortable, mother."
"The county magistrate said that he would take special care of Li and Zhang Zhuangshi, ensuring that this mother and son understand what it means to live a life worse than death in their final days."
Zhu was very relieved and pleased to hear this. "This is what a thing worse than an animal should be like."
……
In the mountains.
Mu Baobao followed Doctor Deng in the mountains to learn about herbal medicine, and Mu Laosan walked beside them, responsible for protecting the two of them.
"Master." Mu Baobao tugged at the corner of Doctor Deng's clothes and whispered, "My family wants to make a soup to clean clothes."
She and her brothers thought about this matter for a long time.
However, the uncle hasn't sent the recipe yet, and she is a little impatient.
"A decoction for cleaning clothes?" Doctor Deng was quite curious when he heard it for the first time. "Baby, what kind of decoction is it?"
Mu Baobao explained, "Well, there's a kind of herb in the mountains..."
"The children at home discovered it by accident." Mu Laosan interrupted and hid his worry with a smile.
"Don't children like to fool around? They discovered that this herb can clean dirt from clothes."
Doctor Deng knew about the existence of this herb, but before this, he had never thought of using it to make a decoction for cleaning clothes.
After all, wealthy families have too many clothes, and most of them are not washed and will be thrown away after being worn once or twice.
Even for clothes that need to be washed, there are special scented soaps to clean them, so there is no need to bother using herbs.
"Baby, this soup for cleaning clothes may not be able to be sold."
He said patiently, "It's unlikely that rich people would buy it."
Mu Baobao nodded in understanding, "Master, we sell it to ordinary people."
"Ordinary people rarely buy clothes. If there is something good like this, and it's not expensive, many people will probably buy it."
Doctor Deng's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh, "Baby, that's a good idea!"
"It's a good deal to clean clothes with a cheaper and more reusable decoction than to buy a new piece of clothing."
Mu Baobao asked, "Master, can you help us make this medicine?"
"Let's split the bill."
Doctor Deng pinched her face and said with amusement, "You still know how to split the bill?"
Mubaobao doesn't understand why adults always like to pinch her face, her face is not a good thing.
"I know. Dad and the others told me."
Doctor Deng felt more and more that the child was well educated, with no trace of arrogance or childish mischief at all.
"Well, today I'll teach you how to make a decoction to clean clothes, and in a few days you can sell it."
