Chapter 129 Distress

Chapter 129 Distress

"Aunt, aunt, aunt, look at our brown sugar...it comes from the south, it's of good quality."

Huo Xi saw many people waiting for restocking, so he started selling brown sugar.

"Take a spoonful of water and drink it every day. It is very good for women. It replenishes qi and blood. If possible, add a spoonful of distiller's grains to it, then break an egg and boil it together. After drinking, your stomach will feel warm. It replenishes qi and qi.

, strengthens the spleen and warms the stomach, smoothes menstruation and activates qi and blood for women, it couldn’t be better!”

"Do many women have cold hands, feet and abdomen in autumn and winter? Buy some brown sugar and drink it every day, and you will be fine soon!"

"Is it really that good?" "Boil it with distiller's grains and eggs?"

"Yeah, feel free to cook. If you don't believe me, go to the pharmacy and ask. There are a lot of wine sellers in the capital, so why not buy wine? But for brown sugar from the south, there is no shop like this after passing this village. The weather is getting colder.

The river is frozen, and boats from the south won't arrive until next spring or summer."

Huo Xi was eloquent and talked a lot.

After her family's linen was looted, the brown sugar packaged in several ounces and a pound was looted again. Even some men who felt sorry for the old mother and wife at home came to snatch it.

The excitement made all the vendors dumbfounded.

Mochou Lake has more than ten towers built along the lakeside. The lake is like smoke of willows and the lake is like a dream, attracting a large number of literati and poets to come and enjoy it every day.

Even ordinary people like to stroll around Mochou Lake, enjoy the lake breeze and watch the excitement.

This is the season of autumn when the air is crisp and the clouds are clear and the wind is light.

Along the lake, there are many vendors and food stalls, and the entire Mochou Lake area is lively.

But at this time, no stall was as lively as Huo's stall.

Yang Fudu rushed to Qionghua Lane to move goods three times. The autumn mood was not impatient, and he was sweating all over. Huo Xi was also so busy that he didn't even raise his head.

At this time, several young ladies from Hou Zhang's Mansion in Xincheng were also taking their maids and wives out to play.

I saw a bunch of people surrounding a stall from a distance, and I looked at it curiously, but no one wanted to get closer.

They are just a group of low-status hawkers, what's there to see?

No matter how lively it is, what kind of expensive goods can be sold? A whole cart of goods may not be worth as much as a handkerchief they are wearing.

He curled his lips, raised his legs and walked away.

Mother Sun got the order from Mrs. Sun and followed some young ladies in the house to go out. Seeing that the young lady was about to leave, she also moved along. But in a hurry, she paused and turned to look.

I saw a child standing on a large rock, straightening his back and soliciting customers.

Hiss, these eyebrows look like I’ve seen them somewhere.

Where have you seen a boy of how old? Is he a boy who delivers charcoal to the house and collects swill?

Mother Sun's eyes were fixed on Huo Xi. The more she looked, the more familiar she felt, and her heart jumped uncontrollably.

After giving a few instructions to the servants next to me, I walked towards Huo Xi.

On the other side, Mu Yan was sitting on the second floor of a tea shop, not far away, watching the little liar below who was very energetic, eloquent, and selling goods tirelessly.

The vibrant little appearance was exactly the same as the tough grass in the corner. I thought it was inconspicuous, but it was full of vitality. It was covered by thick snow, and the next year it stretched out its limbs tenaciously and came back to life.

Mu Yan couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.

Turning his eyes, he saw an old woman staring closely at the little liar, walking toward her with her eyebrows furrowed in thought.

Looks like this? It doesn’t look like he’s going to buy something. Years of caution made Mu Yan feel nervous.

After thinking for a while, he grabbed a bean on the table and flicked it out with his fingers.

Hiss, who hit me?

Seeing the little liar rubbing his forehead, grinning, and looking around, Mu Yan pursed his lips and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Huo Xi looked around angrily. Who was playing a prank? It hurt her so much. Hey, Mother Sun?

not good!

He turned around and hurriedly grabbed Yang Fu: "Uncle, I need to pee!"

"Oh, then go quickly." Yang Fu didn't look at her, he was too busy to do anything else.

"You come with me!"

Huh? Yang Fu was stunned.

"Take Xi'er quickly. Sister, look at the stall. It's okay. You two go and come back quickly." Afraid that Huo Xi might choke, Yang hurriedly urged Yang Fu to take Huo Xi to find a place to pee.

"Okay, Xi'er, let's leave quickly."

Yang Fu looked at the crowd forming a circle at the stall, and then at Huo Xi. Seeing her anxious look, he didn't think much about it, took her hand and left quickly.

Leaving? Sun’s mother was stunned for a moment, then followed closely despite the doubts in her heart.

Huo Xi was extremely anxious when she heard the footsteps behind her.

Why did Mother Sun come to the outer city?

If she was afraid that this would be discovered and spread not only to the Wu family, but only to the ears of her grandmother Wang family, she and Nian'er would be in trouble.

No, must not let her find out!

Huo Xi's head was spinning very fast. He didn't dare to run. The more he ran, the more suspicious he became. As long as the Xincheng Marquis Mansion investigated, what else could not be found?

So much so that Yang, Huo Erhuai and others were implicated.

Maybe the Wu family would implicate the people who came to Taoyedu in order to silence them.

"Oh, there's not even a toilet here!" Huo Xi complained, holding her voice.

"Xi'er..." Yang Fu glanced at her in confusion.

Huo Xi didn't explain, so she took him to a sheltered place, which was not far from the crowd. She pulled Yang Fu and whispered, "My bad relatives are following me!"

"Ah!" Yang Fu was startled.

"Don't look! Uncle, pee quickly!"

"ah?"

Ah what! "Hurry up, it's right here, take it out and pee!" Huo Xi was extremely anxious.

"Ah? Oh." Yang Fu reacted, hurriedly unbuttoned his pants, took out the bird, and looked at the open space in front of him.

Huo Xi stood on the other side of Yang Fu, using Yang Fu's figure to block her, and also pretended to pick out the bird...

"Wow, you didn't pee as high as me!" Huo Xi said in a clear voice.

"Who said that! Look at me peeing, it must be further away than you!" Yang Fu was not to be outdone.

A boy's unique clear, short breath came out. Sun's mother paused in her steps.

Seeing two boys taking out a bird to pee in front of them, they quickly glanced at the water line without seeing it clearly, so they turned around hurriedly.

When the sound of rushing water sounded, I didn't even bother to identify whether it was one stream or two. I stopped for a moment, turned around and left.

Just two boys.

You must have seen it wrong.

The sound of footsteps faded away, and Huo Xi sat down on the ground.

His fists were clenched tightly, his teeth were gritted, and his eyes were full of hatred and sadness.

Yang Fu turned to look at the old woman, and saw that she had walked away. Then he looked back at Huo Xi, who had tears slowly coming out of his eyes. He even forgot to put them back.

"Xi, Xi'er..."

"My mother, my mother died in her hands... I must kill her! I must kill her!" Huo Xi said bitterly, her tears falling more and more fiercely.

Yang Fu's hand stopped on his trousers, her mother, her mother died in her hands, what is this? His sister is alive and well.

It took a long time to react. The whole person was stunned.

Is Xi'er's mother her biological mother? Her biological mother died? Did she die at the hands of the old woman just now?

Yang Fu turned around bitterly, and just as he raised his leg, Huo Xi reacted and grabbed him.

"Xi'er, I'm going to beat her up to vent her anger! Let's put a sack on her!" Yang Fu said angrily, Xi'er's revenge is his revenge!
