Wife is an enemy general

001.

Looking at Li Mu in front of him, it took Ma Yi a long time to finally calm down again.

In fact, the relationship between him and his brother is not very good. Although the two of them have the same surname and the same father, they were not born in the same mother's womb.

It's not a special reason, but his father remarried his mother after he lost his wife, so he and Qi Xin are two mothers, but the age difference is not too much.

Probably because he and his mother were outsiders from outside, so Qi Xin didn't like him very much when he was a child.

Similarly, he didn't like Qi Xin very much.

When they were young, the two often fought over these things. Although nothing major happened, they couldn't get along anyway.When I was young, I started grabbing toys and snacks, and later compared literacy and strength than drinking.

Later, the two grew up a bit, and the relationship became more peaceful, but it was limited to no longer quarreling like they did when they were young.

Later, as the eldest brother, Qi Xin joined the army in place of his father and entered the barracks. After that, he began to miss this brother a little bit.

After Qi Xin left, something happened at home, and Aoki became a battlefield. His father took them to flee and headed for Anfu. As a result, the whole family was infected with the disease on the way, and he was the only one who survived.

During that time, he frequently thought of Qi Xin, but he didn't miss him too much, but there was only one person left in this world who was related to him by blood.

Every time I think about it like this, the world doesn't seem so cold.

Later, he was lucky enough to be adopted by a local childless family. After that, he changed his name and began to study under the care of the family to obtain fame.

At that time, he was no longer young, and his thinking had changed a lot.He began to search for Qi Xin intentionally, but in such war-torn times, he found nothing at all.

A few years passed in a flash, and when he grew up and became capable, he entrusted someone to search for him in the barracks, only to find out that Qi Xin had died a few years ago, and he was the only one left in this world. All alone.

When he first got the news, he was also sad for a while. After that, he thought he was bearish, and got used to it, and lived a good life alone.

Until he saw Li Mu, until he got the ugly wooden sword from Li Mu's hands, what he thought he had forgotten appeared again, and told him that he had never let go of it.

Their family was originally a cook from their ancestors, and they opened a restaurant. Although it is not big, it is considered a small fortune. Their father hoped that their children would become dragons, so the two of them were sent to study in the academy by their father since they were young.

But the two of them are not the kind of quiet masters. They doze off when they are studying, but they are full of energy after class.

When they were about nine or ten years old, the master in the school told them many things about benevolent and righteous heroes in the Jianghu. The ignorant two people yearned for these things very much, so they both wanted to be heroes. To be number one in the world.

But in this world, how can there be two firsts?

So two 'heroes' with wooden swords on their backs met on a narrow road, and fought fiercely with all kinds of big moves.Needless to say, they were beaten up by their father when they went back, and they couldn't get up for two days.

Thinking about it now makes me blush with embarrassment, but at that time the two of them were extremely serious.

After a fight, the two were still sulking and ignored each other for half a month...

Ma Yi lowered his head and looked at the ugly wooden sword in his hand. He remembered what happened back then, and suddenly felt a flush on his face. At that moment, he even had a feeling of digging a hole. The urge to get in.

But he looked at the sword in his hand for a long time, and finally kept it, not willing to throw it away.

Ma Yi sighed, and looked up at Li Mu again.

This time, the previous jealousy and madness were no longer in his eyes.

In fact, he understands the truth, how could he not understand, but when these things really happen to him, he still finds it hard to accept.

"Let's go." Ma Yi turned around and walked down the mountain.

He knew he should say thank you to Li Mu, but he couldn't say it.

This time, Ma Yi really left. He didn't look back, and led the servants all the way down the mountain, disappearing at the end of the forest path.

Seeing Ma Yi's back disappear into the forest, Li Mu went up the mountain after a long time.

When going up the mountain, Zhong Xiuyuan was already waiting by the side of the road, he was relieved to see him coming up.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he probably guessed Ma Yi's identity when he saw Li Mu moved the box out, took out the contents and followed Ma Yi down the mountain.

Seeing that Li Mu came back with empty hands and did not take anything, Zhong Xiuyuan didn't ask, but just quietly walked up the mountain with him.

After that, he did not put away the box that Li Mu had carefully put away no matter what.

The case is several years old and, while functional, is worn out.Now that it's empty, it's even less useful.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the sound of firecrackers came frequently in the mountains since the firecrackers that day, as if they had been kicked off.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Mu stopped what he was doing and focused on preparing the offerings.

Tomb-sweeping on the Mid-Autumn Festival here is more solemn and solemn than other festivals, so the offerings are more abundant than usual.

Take, among other things, some good, well-cooked strips of meat.

Li Mu didn't know what the specific meaning was. Anyway, everyone was like this, so he just followed suit.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Mu, Zhong Xiuyuan, and Yun'er changed into plain clothes early in the morning, took the prepared offerings and paper money and incense, and walked into the mountains.

That mountain is a little far away from their neighborhood, whether it is far or near.

That mountain is about as high as the mountain where Li Mu raises ducks, but no one raises ducks there, and very few people go there, because there are all cemeteries there.

In addition to the cemeteries of some people's homes near them, there are also some mass graves. In the war-torn era, it can be said that bones are almost everywhere there.

Over time, that place became a bit gloomy, and people rarely go here unless there is a death anniversary.

On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, it is very lively here, and there are many people on the road.

When Li Mu led Zhong Xiuyuan and Yun'er up the mountain, he met many people along the way.

There were a lot of people in the mountain and it was very lively that day, but it was not noisy. On the contrary, everyone was very quiet that day. Li Mu and the others walked all the way to the middle of the mountain, and they didn't hear a few people talking.

It wasn't until he reached the halfway up the mountain that Li Mu finally heard some voices.

It was a group of people walking behind them, a group of people who seemed to have come back from other places to pay their respects and condolences.

There were about twenty people in that group, and only two or three of them were here to worship, and the rest were all sedan chair bearers and servants who carried things.

This mountain is similar to the mountain where Li Mu raises ducks, and the terrain is similar in height and terrain. The mountain road is not easy to walk, and some places are very steep, but those people came up with sedan chairs.

That group of people was very powerful, and they were also fast, catching up to Li Mu and the others halfway up the mountain.

Li Mu and the group of people who were going up the mountain next to him had to step aside and let them pass first.

"Is it someone from around here?" Zhong Xiuyuan asked Li Mu after those people had gone away.

"He must have come back from outside to worship." Li Mu shook his head, he didn't remember seeing such a person around here.

Many people moved away from them in the past few years. Although many people have moved back now, most of them are still living in poverty.

Those who did better, like Master Qin and the others, rarely came back except for the days when they needed to worship.

There were quite a few cases like this, and after a few people looked at the group of people again, they continued to walk up the mountain.

Li Mu's parents passed away when he was very young, and with the help of those people in the village, they were buried in a straw mat and buried near the top of the mountain.

After arriving at the place, Li Mu put the things aside and went to the grave to weed.

He has been here every year since he came back, so the neighborhood looks clean, with only some weeds that have grown recently.

Seeing Li Mu making a move, Zhong Xiuyuan also hurried over to help clean up all the weeds and dead branches on the two closely connected tombs, and then placed the sacrifices.

In the area under their feet, there are many graves, some new and some old, some clean and some messy.

The messy ones are probably the younger generations who have been unable to take care of them anymore. Several graves even have their tombstones down.

Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, some people who go up the mountain to worship look familiar, and they will help burn some paper money, but most of the tombs are empty.

After cleaning up the nearby weeds and placing all the sacrifices, Li Mu took out the fire pocket, lit the paper money and incense.

He comes here every year and burns some paper money.

Li Mu himself doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, even though he traveled through thousands of years with a ray of soul, and arrived in this strange place, this matter itself is already somewhat ghostly.

After burning the paper money that he took out as usual, Li Mu was about to get up, when he realized that Zhong Xiuyuan next to him was looking seriously at the two tombstones in front of him.

He seemed to be doing this as something sacred and unoffensive, and the seriousness and caution in his eyes made Li Mu want to laugh.

Li Mu looked back at the tomb in front of him, rare, he didn't tease the people around him.

He is not Li Mu, and Li Mu's death has nothing to do with him, so he can't say anything to live well for him.

He wants to live well, not for anyone else, but for himself.

After bowing in front of these two graves, Zhong Xiuyuan got up and followed Li Mu to the side.

Yun'er's father was buried not far from here, or in other words, most of the people in their village were buried near here.

After walking to the side for a while, the three of them soon saw another solitary grave.

That tomb looked much cleaner than the messy tombs on the tables next to it, and there were traces of a pile of burnt paper money in front of the tomb.

Yun'er stood in front of the grave, looked behind the grave in front of her, then turned her head to look at Li Mu next to her.

Li Mu has never believed in ghosts and gods. To him, these things are probably more like comfort to the living.

So in the past, whenever he came to visit the tomb on the mountain, he would take care of Yun'er's father, that idiot who would follow him with a smile, and clean up the weeds on the tomb together.

After taking the new offerings, kneeling down and burning paper and lighting incense, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan walked down the mountain.

"We'll be waiting for you at the place with the stone just now." Li Mu looked at Yun'er who was still standing in front of the grave.

Yun'er nodded, and after watching Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan leave, he knelt down in front of the grave in front of him.

Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan walked down the mountain, but they didn't go far, so they stopped and waited for Yun'er.

When they arrived at the place, before they could speak, they were attracted by a movement next to them.

It was a group of cries, not one or two people's cries, but a group of people's cries.

Hearing the sound, both of them looked in that direction one after another, and saw that the twenty or so servants in the group who had swaggered through the market before were all kneeling in a row, crying there.

Those who came to worship them should be the family of the younger generation in the grave, but they stood by the side with their hands behind their hands, watching the people next to them cry for them and burn paper for them.

There was a lot of movement in this group of people, and many people who came into the mountain to worship heard the sound and deliberately went around to watch the excitement.

Seeing this ridiculous scene, Zhong Xiuyuan looked back at Li Mu beside him, and shook his head helplessly.

These people probably moved out when they fled in the early years, and then made a fortune in other places, so returning to worship has become a kind of showing off.

I just don't know whether their parents will be happy when they see this scene, or feel dumbfounded.

Li Mu stood beside him, watching those servants cry heartbrokenly for their fathers and mothers.

002.

After a while, Yun'er came down from the mountain.

"Why so fast?" Zhong Xiuyuan mentioned the tribute and paper money that were placed on the ground.

Yun'er shook her head, she was obviously only a child, but her words were a little blunt, "Death cannot be brought back to life."

No matter how much they cry, it won't change anything.

Zhong Xiuyuan didn't speak, just rubbed Yun'er's hair.

After paying homage to the people in the mountain, a group of people walked towards the village. Instead of going home directly, they made a detour and headed towards the peach blossom forest.

Zuo Yi was Zhong Xiuyuan's master, and based on this relationship, they should also go to worship at this time.

Strange to say, the two peach trees that Zuo Yi had planted before had lush branches and were bigger than the peach trees next to them.

When planting fruit trees, there is a saying that some fruit trees only grow trees but not fruits, because too much nutrition goes to the branches, and it is necessary to thin the leaves and branches to prevent them from continuing to grow.

Li Mu didn't know if it was the reason, anyway, the two trees hadn't even opened buds.Thinking of what Zuo Yi said confidently when he planted before, Li Mu felt a little helpless.

After the worship was over, it was already noon when the three of them returned to the mountain.

The three of them went to the mountain to worship, but Zhong Manlu didn't go.After they returned home and put away their things, Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan washed their hands and went to the kitchen to see if Zhong Manlu was cooking.

As soon as he entered, he saw Zhong Manlu sitting in front of the stove with his head down.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Xiuyuan was a little puzzled.

Hearing the sound, Zhong Manlu was startled. When he raised his head, his eyes were red.

Seeing Zhong Manlu like this, both Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan were taken aback.

Zhong Manlu lived with them when he was 13 years old. Because of his experience as a teenager, he has always been a very sensible and not worrying child. They have rarely seen Zhong Manlu cry for a long time. The first time was Zhong Manlu crying. When Xiuyuan came back, this was the second time.

Zhong Manlu was obviously too involved before, and didn't realize that they had returned.

Being bumped right now, he wiped his eyes in embarrassment, got up and ran out the door, "There is no firewood, I'll go get some firewood."

Looking at the back of Zhong Manlu running away in embarrassment, Zhong Xiuyuan only felt a bitter taste in his throat.

Unlike him, Zhong Manlu spent much less time by his mother's side, and he himself was used to being alone, but to Zhong Manlu, their mother's death was only a few years away.

Other times are fine, but in days like today, it will inevitably be more difficult, and you will think more.

What's more, they are in such a situation now, even if they worship, there is nowhere to worship.

"I'll go and have a look." Zhong Xiuyuan walked towards the door.

Zhong Xiuyuan chased him out, and soon saw Zhong Manlu who had wiped away his tears and was arranging firewood at the firewood room.

Zhong Manlu looked back and saw Zhong Xiuyuan following him, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry." Zhong Xiuyuan looked at Zhong Manlu who was in a panic and wanted to walk away.

Zhong Manlu, who was about to escape with the firewood in his arms, stopped. He looked back at his brother Zhong Xiuyuan, wondering why he said sorry.

"If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for me..." Zhong Xiuyuan choked up a bit when talking about this matter.

If it wasn't for him, maybe they are still in Yuan Country now, maybe they still have a chance to go back to worship, instead of not even daring to admit the name of the Zhong family like now.

"You don't have to say sorry!" Zhong Manlu suddenly said loudly.

After speaking, he realized that his voice was a little loud.

Both of them felt bad about this matter, but he never hated Zhong Xiuyuan.

Under such circumstances, if he is Zhong Xiuyuan, he may not be able to do better than Zhong Xiuyuan, and he is living happily now, which is enough.

How Zhong Xiuyuan survived, he also saw it with his own eyes.

After the previous incident happened, the people of Yuan Guo hated Zhong Xiuyuan to the bone, but whenever it was mentioned, they would not stop yelling.

Zhong Xiuyuan's reputation for treason is untrue, and many people say things about their ancestors, saying that his grandfather and father served the country loyally, that their ancestors served Yuan Guo for generations, but Zhong Xiuyuan of his generation Yuan became a traitor.

But in Daning, the word Zhong Xiuyuan didn't get much favor.

Except for the half a year earlier, the people in Daning were grateful to General Zhong Xiuyuan. Later, when they learned that Zhong Xiuyuan was missing and after the armistice agreement was signed, the three words Zhong Xiuyuan became indescribable. exist.

Let's say he is Daning's benefactor, but it was because of Zhong Xiuyuan that Daning had such a difficult life in the past ten years.

Say he is Daning's enemy, and he really helped Daning stop the ten-year chaos.

After the war stopped, after seeing the hope of peace, more people's hearts turned to hate Zhong Xiuyuan, because more people suffered so much in the early years.

They didn't dare to scold the emperor of Daning, and they didn't dare to provoke Yuan Guo again, so they pointed at Zhong Xiuyuan and scolded him, traitor, traitor, and could utter all kinds of ugly words.

Yuan Guo's hatred and Daning's indifference, even if they live in this mountain village, they still cannot be ignored.Especially at times like this, there are more swearing voices.

Even if the death was due to other reasons, it was Zhong Xiuyuan's fault at this moment, it was him who killed them.

"I'm just a little uncomfortable!" Zhong Man said.

He knew those harsh words, Zhong Xiuyuan never took them to heart.

It's just that he occasionally thinks of it and hears it occasionally, and when he thinks about his mother, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

Zhong Xiuyuan was still thinking about how to comfort Zhong Manlu, but now after hearing Zhong Manlu's words, his eyes became dark.

He only opened his mouth when Zhong Manlu on the opposite side was embarrassed by him, and said earnestly, "Sure enough, I have grown up."

Zhong Manlu glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan, hugged the firewood on the ground, and prepared to go to the kitchen.

He had only taken two steps, but Zhong Xiuyuan's words came from behind him, "When I grow up, it's almost time to start a family."

Zhong Manlu staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Brother, don't talk nonsense, you will make others laugh!" He looked back at Zhong Xiuyuan, who seemed to be seriously thinking about the possibility of this matter, and then ran away even more embarrassed.

Watching Zhong Manlu run away, Zhong Xiuyuan shook his head, Zhong Manlu was no longer the child he was back then.

He should have grown up a long time ago, and he already has his own ideas about many things, maybe this remote mountain is no longer suitable for him.

For him and Li Mu, this mountain is a place to hide from the world, a quiet place they like.

But for Zhong Manlu, probably the thousands of worlds outside are what he wants to experience.

Zhong Manlu is no longer a person of the same era as them. They are in troubled times, and what they see and experience is very heavy and cruel. Although Zhong Manlu has experienced part of it, he is still in this world after all. Peaceful era.

He should have taken a different path, instead of staying with them in this mountain to feed ducks and plant fruit trees.

Thinking about this matter, Zhong Xiuyuan was a little absent-minded until dinner time at night.

Zhong Xiuyuan didn't remember to tell Li Mu about it until they were lying side by side on the bed after washing and Li Mu asked.

Zhong Xiuyuan told Li Mu what he thought in the afternoon, and after he finished speaking, he waited quietly.

In fact, he didn't want to hear Li Mu say something, as long as Li Mu could listen to him say these things, he already felt very at ease.

After listening to Zhong Xiuyuan's words, Li Mu didn't speak for a long time.

He really didn't think about this before. He used to think about family affairs, ducks, fruit trees, and how to live well in this mountain.

Like Zhong Xiuyuan, he lived in this mountain, but lived more relaxedly. He never thought about whether Zhong Manlu would want to stay in this mountain.

If Zhong Xiuyuan hadn't said it, he probably wouldn't have thought of it.

Now that Zhong Xiuyuan said this, Li Mu immediately remembered this.

There were not many people living in their mountain. Although many people returned to the mountain because of the war, there were only a few dozen families going back and forth.

There are quite a few people in the town, but they are not close to those who live in the mountains and the town.

Li Mu and Zhong Xiuyuan came over from the pile of dead people, it didn't matter what kind of people were around them.But for Zhong Manlu, who is still a teenager, it is probably really no fun in the mountains where he has almost no peers.

Zhong Manlu had been by his side for several years. In the past few years, he did what Zhong Manlu did by his side, just like an adult.

Thinking about it now, apart from him and Zhong Xiuyuan, he probably doesn't have a single friend in this mountain.

Most of those long-term workers are older than him, and most of them are already married. They revolve around their wives and children all day long, and they can't even talk to him.

Li Mu himself didn't think of this level, and Zhong Manlu never mentioned it.

Thinking about it now, Li Mu felt that he owed him a bit.

"Why don't you let him live at the bottom of the mountain?" Li Mu said after a long time.

After all, there are more young people in the town at the foot of the mountain than in the mountains. Living at the foot of the mountain, maybe he can find a friend or two to talk to.

After Li Mu finished speaking, it took a while for the person next to him to ask a question with a faint nasal voice.

Li Mu turned his head to the side, only to realize that Zhong Xiuyuan was about to fall asleep.

At that moment, Li Mu couldn't help raising his hand to pinch the man's nose to keep him from breathing. He was obviously the one who started the topic, but luckily he fell asleep first.

When Zhong Xiuyuan fell into a drowsy sleep, his nose was suddenly pinched by Li Mu and he couldn't breathe.

He stretched out his hand to grab Li Mu's hand, and after grabbing it for a while, he didn't grab it and didn't dodge it. Instead, he stretched his neck towards Li Mu.

He pressed his head against Li Mu's chest, rubbing it coquettishly.

Seeing this man's puppy-like behavior, Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he let the man hug his waist and continue to sleep.

003.

After Zhong Xiuyuan told this matter, Li Mu kept thinking about it for the next few days.

As a result, before he had time to figure out what to do about this incident, another incident happened on the mountain.

Li Mu followed Guan Yu to look at the duck cage at the foot of the mountain, and when he was about to have the duck cage in the mountain rebuilt for it, the long-term worker at home suddenly rushed over and told him that someone had come to the mountain.

They don't know what's going on in this mountain. The past six months have been very lively. Li Mu was not in a hurry to hear the news, so he calmly asked who the long-term worker was.

"It's a matchmaker!" Chang Gong laughed with joy.

After hearing what the long-time worker said, Li Mu also laughed.

He had been thinking that Zhongmanlu would be sixteen this year, and some people in their area had already made in-laws. He was thinking about whether to ask about the situation, when this person came to his door.

After getting the news, Li Mu hurried up the mountain.

On the mountain, Zhong Xiuyuan, who was originally on the mountain, happily welcomed the matchmaker into the house, followed the matchmaker around the room, and then led her to the living room, poured tea and brought her there.

When it comes to Zhongman Road, Zhong Xiuyuan only recently remembered it.

He looked at the matchmaker sitting in the main room, feeling a little complicated for a moment.

It is said that an elder brother is like a father. Although he has not taken care of Zhong Manlu for a few years, he still has a sense of relief that my family has a child who has just grown up.

"Why didn't you think about buying a yard in the town?" The matchmaker couldn't help asking Zhong Xiuyuan after looking around the house.

There is more than one person who has this doubt at the bottom of the mountain. Many people know that there is Li Mu in their mountain, but it is also well known that Li Mu lives in the mountain.

Others, such as Mr. Qin a few years ago, would move to a better place when they were rich, but Li Mu was lucky enough to build a house in this mountain.

It's not that the mountain is bad, but it's really inconvenient to go up and down the mountain. When it's hot or if you have poor physical strength, walking up and down the mountain will cost you half your life.

In case there is something urgent, it is estimated that the urgent matter will be delayed by going up and down the mountain.

"Someone wants to live under the mountain, but it's convenient in the mountain." After hearing the matchmaker's question, Zhong Xiuyuan said hastily.

Li Mu had already told him before that he was planning to let Zhong Manlu live in the pharmacy at the foot of the mountain.

There are a lot of things going on in the mountains now, and the ducks have to be sold frequently, and the duck eggs have something to do every day. It is really convenient for Liu Zhongmanlu to watch from the bottom of the mountain.

In case something happens down the mountain, just go directly to Zhongman Road, and save them from running around.

What's more, living in a town down the mountain is better than living in the mountains. After that, it will be easier for Zhong Manlu to marry a wife.

"That's good, that's good!" The matchmaker immediately smiled when she heard the words, and repeated two good words.

Everyone knows the strength and financial resources of Li Mu and the others in this neighborhood, but the girl's family must still hope that the girl can live in a big house after marriage, and live in a town, so as to save herself from doing these hard work.

"My younger brother also studied some books in the early years. Although he didn't go to the exam to get fame, please rest assured..." Zhong Xiuyuan was a little at a loss. It was the first time he sat with this matchmaker. Talk, don't even know what to say.

"Your brother?" The matchmaker was taken aback when she heard this.

"Yes, he has a good personality, he is a reasonable person, and he knows how to love others." Zhong Xiuyuan hurriedly said again.

To Zhong Manlu, Zhong Xiuyuan naturally wants to say more good things, and Zhong Manlu is indeed a good person, not bad in appearance, with a mild temper, and a person who can take care of others.

"What's the matter with your brother?" The matchmaker looked at Zhong Xiuyuan more and more suspiciously.

Zhong Xiuyuan, who was originally uneasy, was stunned for a moment. It's none of his brother's business, so whose business is it?

Li Mu happily went up the mountain, and when he entered his house, he saw such a scene.

The matchmaker sat by the side as if a little scared, uneasy, while Zhong Xiuyuan sat quietly by the side with a very strange expression, without the slightest smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" Li Mu entered the door.

Could it be that the matchmaker said something that made Zhong Xiuyuan unhappy?

"This..." The matchmaker stood up quickly when she saw Li Mu approaching, as if she saw a savior.

"Sit down!" Li Mu quickly pulled up the stool and told her to sit down.

He and Zhong Xiuyuan are not very familiar with these things, chatting with the matchmaker, both of them are the first time a big girl gets on the sedan chair.

After the two sat down, Li Mu looked at the matchmaker in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The matchmaker seemed a little scared, glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan next to her, and then quickly explained the purpose of her visit, "Boss Li, I'm actually here to find you."

"Looking for me?" Li Mu was puzzled, didn't this person come to ask Zhong Manlu for a kiss?

"The thing is, someone asked me to marry you, so I'm here right now?" The matchmaker looked at Zhong Xiuyuan next to her frequently as she spoke, as if she was afraid that Zhong Xiuyuan would do something to her.

After hearing her words, Li Mu didn't come back to his senses for a moment. After a while, he looked at Zhong Xiuyuan who was expressionless next to him, and then he came to his senses.

This matchmaker didn't come to marry Zhong Manlu, but to marry him?

Knowing this dumbfounding thing, Li Mu took another look at Zhong Xiuyuan, who was sitting beside him with a blank expression, and finally understood why the matchmaker looked like this.

"Boss Li, you see that you are not young at this age, and your family has such a big family business, you can't..." The matchmaker secretly glanced at Zhong Xiuyuan next to him.

Probably it was Zhong Xiuyuan's cold face that frightened her and made her a little uneasy and afraid.

"I don't need to worry about this matter." Li Mu said, he was going to get up and send this person out of the house, but after thinking about what happened to Zhong Manlu, he held back his temper.

Their place is so big, there are only a few matchmakers at the bottom of the mountain, if he is offended, there will be troubles in the future.

The matchmaker probably thought that Li Mu was easy to talk to, and she was the head of the family, so gradually she came back with confidence, and the smile on her face came back along with it.

"Boss Li, how can you not worry about this matter? This is a big deal!" The matchmaker shook off the silk scarf in her hand, wanting to reason with Li Mu, "You see, there are three major unfilial traits, and if you don't say anything else, why not?" In this way, you can't let the Li family be your dead queen!"

Probably because it was easy to say, and with the courage to come back again, the matchmaker spoke faster and did not give Li Mu a chance to interrupt her, "Even if you really feel sorry for this one, what will you do when you get old? If there is no one to take care of, isn't it a bleak old age?"

In fact, someone had told Li Mu about this matter a few years ago. When Zhong Xiu was away from the mountain, every once in a while someone would come to the mountain to try to persuade Li Mu.

It's just that Li Mu kept refusing with a cold face, and everyone was having a bad time at that time, so there are still a small number of people who think this way.

But the situation is different now, and now that Daning has settled down, the days to come will definitely be better.

Moreover, Li Mu was not too old at that time, but it is different now, he has no children at this age, and it is already too late for them.

Quite a few people of his age, children can already make soy sauce.

Not everyone who asked them to be a matchmaker was greedy for Li Mu's family property, but it was human nature to want their daughter to live a better life.

After all, if it can be said, it is better than living a tight life in this town in this mountain.

Their generation is already afraid of poverty and suffering, and what they fear most is that their children will also be poor and suffer together.

"Okay, I've already said this matter, don't mention it again." Li Mu said, "If it's okay, then please go back!"

He had already told these people about these things before, and he had no intention of marrying again.

For a person like him, in fact, when he was surrounded by those people in the village to worship and marry him, he didn't have much expectations. He just thought that it would be good if he could find someone to live with as a partner.

To him, taking off the hijab and meeting Zhong Xiuyuan was beyond his expectations.

"Hey, why are you so stubborn!" The matchmaker was in a hurry, she deliberately walked the mountain road for an hour, just to find Li Mu and talk to him.

Now that this matter hasn't been said, and the girl's family hasn't registered her name, why did Li Mu drive her away?

"Please." Li Mu got up and made a gesture of please, and was about to send this person away.

"Boss Li, you should listen to me about the girl's house anyway! Let's talk about it, you have to give yourself a chance, don't you?" The matchmaker still hasn't given up. What will you do when you get old?"

Li Mu had already walked to the door, he wasn't going to offend this person, but he wasn't going to continue talking nonsense with this person either.

"You can't hold such a rooster that doesn't lay eggs for the rest of your life!" The matchmaker was anxious, "I don't want to destroy your relationship. After that, he can continue to live in the mountains, and I don't want you to drive him away."

Zhong Xiuyuan sat quietly, looking at the ground beside the shoes, he didn't speak, just listened quietly.

"And people told me when they came to see me, they don't mind." The matchmaker glanced at Zhong Zhong next to her.
