Chapter 9 The Mute

People outside had never seen Su Nanxi who was so ugly and ignorant of etiquette. They all talked down to her and even wanted to drive her away.

Su Nanxi felt that she had been wronged so much that she could not speak or defend herself.

Mo Qinghe opened his mouth, but those people shouted loudly and trumpeted, and they managed to drown out his cold and hoarse voice.

Mrs. Qin also said it, but unfortunately it was also drowned out, so she could only worry.

"Old man! Are you awake? Ha, great!"

One voice was so penetrating that it instantly suppressed all other voices.

The next moment, a swarm of bees swarmed around Old Mo, looking at him like a monkey.

Old Man Mo felt like he was about to die. He tried to open his eyes to explain the funeral, but after struggling for a long time, he still couldn't open his eyes. Someone accidentally poured a bowl of water into his mouth. With this bowl of water, he gradually regained his strength.

My whole body no longer hurts and I can open my eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, a dozen heads popped out and looked at him inquiringly, making him dare not move.

A head spoke, "I'm awake, but I can't seem to move! Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"

The other head said, "I want the doctor to come and take a look, something is wrong!"

Mrs. Zhao ran in panting with her doctor, and everyone quickly got out of the way knowing what was going on.

This doctor, He, lived in the next village. After hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, he rushed over. He didn't have time to catch his breath, so he immediately stepped forward and felt his pulse. He felt it twice, but he still had doubts.

He was worried that his shortness of breath and rapid heartbeat would affect his pulse measurement, so he took a deep breath, took two big breaths, and continued to feel his pulse.

Everyone looked at the doctor who checked his pulse several times and still had a sad expression on his face. They thought to themselves, is it possible that he has recovered and is hopeless?

Mrs. Mo thought the same thing. When she saw the doctor retracting his hand, she quickly asked, "Mr. He, my old man, does he need to prepare anything?"

Just talk about preparing for the funeral.

He Langzhong was thinking about something. When he was asked, he paused and waved his hand, "No, there is no need to prepare anything. You should eat and drink when you need to."

Isn’t this a euphemism for saying that time is running out?

"Woooooo~~" Mrs. Mo covered her face and cried.

He Langzhong was startled, "Your boss Mo is fine, why are you crying?"

Mrs. Mo didn't stop crying, "Didn't you say that my old man can't be saved? I'm so sad!"

For the first time, Mr. He suspected that he had said something wrong just now, and tried to defend himself, "When did I say that? I said your boss Mo is fine, nothing happened!"

Ah? Nothing?

Mrs. Mo immediately wiped away her tears and confirmed with the doctor.

He Langzhong himself was almost confused. If they weren't all familiar with the villagers, he would have suspected that this family was playing tricks on him! His daughter-in-law said that he was dying, but he checked his pulse and found no sign of dying.

On the contrary, Old Man Mo is in good health!

He was depressed and puzzled, but the Mo family became happy.

Old Man Mo was fine, so he patted his butt and climbed up. To thank the person who sent him back, he stayed him down for lunch and took the doctor with him to finish the meal before leaving.

Everyone heard that the Mo family had killed chickens and cooked a pot of chicken soup. They were so greedy that they left the chicken soup half-heartedly.

Seeing that she had nothing to do, Su Nanxi left early and shrugged at Mo Qinghe, saying that he had tried his best.

Mo Qinghe inexplicably found her gesture very cute and thanked her sincerely.

Su Nanxi could climb up the pole, and she asked Mo Qinghe to make her a bamboo jar with a lid, which could be used to hold water and wine.

Mo Qinghe understood and agreed.

During lunch, Su Nanxi was introduced. Because she couldn't speak, they all called her mute. She didn't mind and nodded with a smile.

As a result, people from all over the country soon found out that Mo Qinghe had married a mute woman.

Some feel pity and some wish blessing.

The news that the Mo family caught pheasants on the mountain also spread, and many people were interested and wanted to try it.

The Mo family plans to let the three of them use the yamen's cart to take the chickens to the town tomorrow morning and sell them, which will cost food and make people miss them.

Su Nanxi went to the mountains once and was regarded as a normal person. He participated in housework at Mo Yunmei's request.

Mrs. Mo was worried that Su Nanxi's waist was broken, so she arranged for her to do lighter work, letting her feed chickens and ducks, and also water the small vegetable patch in the corner of the house.

Su Nanxi nodded in agreement.

The chicken food mixed with Lingquan water was eaten by chickens and ducks.

Vegetables drenched with Lingquan water grow very quickly and look beautiful.

Overnight, the chickens and ducks that had been raising eggs for a long time all laid eggs, and the vegetables in the vegetable patch in the corner of the house grew a knuckle taller.

Mrs. Mo laughed happily, and Mrs. Zhao was also proud. She was responsible for feeding the chickens and ducks before, but the chickens and ducks hadn't laid eggs for a long time. They laid eggs as soon as someone else took over. She thought it was her contribution, which meant that she was feeding well.

Su Nanxi let them say whatever they said, and she couldn't explain it anyway. She didn't know why, but her throat hurt so much whenever she wanted to talk.

I drank some water early in the morning and naturally got busy again.

The children all clamored to go to the mountains with Su Nanxi, and asked Su Nanxi if he needed to prepare ropes or something?

Su Nanxi waved her hand, how could she use those things to set up traps.

"You haven't given me water yet."

Mo Qinghe looked at Su Nanxi with a bit of resentment in his eyes.

Su Nanxi immediately got up to fetch water, and then went out with a group of children.

There are many people on the mountain, all here to catch pheasants. Many people go to areas with dense trees. They used to be afraid of wild beasts, but now they are afraid that people will catch all the pheasants.

Just, pretty crazy.

Many traps were laid, but not one was caught.

Seeing the Mo family coming, they all ran over to see how they did it.

But the adults didn't make traps. Instead, the children pulled vines and tied knots to make traps.

Everyone was puzzled. Mrs. Mo smiled and said, "Don't listen to the rumors. We don't know how to lay traps to catch wild animals! It's just children playing, a blind cat encounters a dead mouse, it's just a coincidence."

Mo Yunmei responded from the side, "That's right, it was an accident to catch it. Do you really believe that you can catch pheasants with that simple trap?"

Some people believe it and leave; some people don't believe it and learn to struggle.

Su Nanxi used knotted vines to make traps just for fun, just for show. She didn't understand, so she twisted the vines in circles to form a hollow ball.

She made a trap and stopped doing it. She put it in a hollow, scattered a bunch of dead leaves, then picked up the basket when she saw wild fruits, picked mushrooms when she saw them, pulled a few handfuls of familiar herbs when she saw them, and stuffed the basket

Full to go.

The other children saw her and followed her example, picking and digging after her.

Finally return to the place where the trap was set.

Su Nanxi put his index finger on his lips, making a "shush" gesture, then slowly squatted down, gently opened a hole with one hand, and inserted the other hand inside.

The children held their breaths and stared with wide eyes. When they saw Su Nanxi's hand reaching in deeper and deeper, it seemed like there was nothing there, and they were so anxious that they wanted to just open it and take a look.

Su Nanxi seemed to be frightened, and pulled Mo Jiaxing next to him. Mo Jiaxing was also a little scared, so he took a stick and slowly pushed the leaves away.

"Whoa!!"

Suddenly there was a scream!
