"Speaking of which, why am I running around like this!?"
After agreeing to Qin Wu's request, Li Mu kept wandering around the several places he was responsible for. When Li Mu almost got tired of seeing the scenery in these places.
Li Mu finally discovered...
Wandering around here by yourself is of no use at all. Wandering around here by yourself will never hit a place where you are needed, so you might as well find a place to stay.
Drinking a little wine, cracking melon seeds, and waiting for others to ask for help, isn't it delicious?
Thinking of this, Li Mu felt more and more that what he was doing here was as stupid as a yuppie.
"But where are we going? Let's go back and have a look."
Li Mu looked at the map for a while, and it happened that this place was not far from Dongbo's Mansion. He hadn't gone back to take a look for a long time, so he just did what he said, and Li Mu rushed towards where Dongbo's Mansion was.
…………
"Tsk, what a big change."
Not long after, Li Mu returned to this familiar yet unfamiliar place.
Familiar because this place was the first city Li Mu saw when he came to this world, and he also stayed here for a long time.
And the strangeness was because of the signs of excitement here, which made Li Mu secretly dumbfounded. Although the Dongbo Mansion was also very lively in the past, it was not like this.
Many people, with the help of some soldiers, continued to transport this wood and many other things. With the help of other people, several new houses appeared in the open space almost every few hours.
above.
In Li Mu's memory, the place where there should have been many open spaces has gradually been filled with these houses.
"Tsk, what a waste of space! Can you teach them someday that there is so much space above that you can continue to go up!"
Li Mu couldn't help but think when he saw their quick movements.
But thinking about Li Mu, I gave up. I am not busy enough now. I still want to cause trouble to myself. I am afraid I am crazy.
Relying on his memory, Li Mu came to the place he often visited before.
As soon as he got closer, Li Mu stopped when he saw the completely different storefront and the strange owner.
"Tsk, I forgot about this, Lao Wang is no longer here..."
Only then did Li Mu remember that Lao Wang, who always smiled no matter who he was talking to and made delicious buns, was no longer there.
Secretly feeling regretful, Li Mu slowly turned around and walked away, arriving at the tavern he often frequented.
"Shopkeeper, as usual, bring me a table."
Li Mu knocked on the table, waking up the shopkeeper who was in a trance and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Ah? Guest sir, you..."
The shopkeeper then looked at Li Mu, and his small eyes were widened to the limit.
"Why, you don't recognize me anymore?"
Li Mu looked at him like this and chuckled.
"No, no, I haven't seen you objectively for a long time. It must have been several months. I thought you..."
The shopkeeper suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as if he had said something he shouldn't have said.
"Haha, did you think I died in that incident?"
Li Mu knew what he was thinking. He simply thought that he had died in the demon invasion, which was why he made such a surprised expression.
"No, no, it's the same as usual, right? Please do it."
The shopkeeper said quickly.
Not long after, the shopkeeper gave the order and came up again.
"By the way, shopkeeper, why is there no one here today? I remember this place used to be quite lively. And, shopkeeper, why are you entertaining guests here?"
Li Mu looked at the empty surroundings. There was no lively feeling like he remembered when he was there before.
"Don't you know? With the news issued by the Three Holy Lands, people now have no time to come to my place to drink and gossip. They all go to help."
The shopkeeper also smiled.
Li Mu nodded, remembering the scene he just saw.
"Hey, objectively, tell me, when will this world get better? In the past three days, I have heard news of the invasion of monsters. How many people have died here, how many people have died there, and people's hearts are everywhere.
I’m so scared, now that something like this has happened again, let alone doing business, I can’t even live anymore!”
It seemed that there was really no one in the tavern, and the shopkeeper was worried. He also brought a pot of wine, sat down opposite Li Mu, and started chatting with him.
"There will come a day, even if we can't see it, there will always be your descendants who can see it."
Li Mu didn't expect that the shopkeeper would take the initiative to chat with him, but he didn't refuse.
"I thought so before, but now, life is really too difficult. Just look at the past few days, the master of the palace has been hoarding supplies, making everyone nervous. In terms of food alone, now
Food is more than 10% more expensive than before."
"There are still many people spreading rumors in the city, saying that the top brass of our human race want to give up on ordinary people like us, and that our Dongbo Mansion is about to be breached. Many people have left Dongbo because of this.
Where is the uncle's house?"
"Although they were eventually found out, and the news came from the mouths of those human traitors, people in this country are always a little panicked."
Under the stimulation of alcohol, the shopkeeper seemed to start talking nonsense.
"..."
Li Mu fell silent.
He didn't know what to say. After all, he couldn't touch her and say that in a short time, the people from the three holy lands would be able to drive those monsters out of this world.
And now Li Mu is standing in this world from the perspective of a bystander, and he doesn't know how to deal with this apparently abnormal shopkeeper.
"Huh, I was too excited. I accidentally said so much to you, guest officer. I'm really sorry!"
After a burst of excitement, the shopkeeper's excitement also calmed down, and the drunkenness seemed to have faded away. Looking at the silent Li Mu, he thought it was his words that troubled Li Mu, and he quickly said to
Li Mu apologized.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If you are depressed, it will always happen. Just say it. Look forward to everything. Things will not always go to the bad. Everything should go in the good direction."
.
Li Mu waved his hand to express his understanding.
"Hey, why hasn't this dish been served yet? I'll go hurry it up for you!"
After cleaning up his situation, the shopkeeper stood up with some embarrassment, said something to Li Mu, and walked to the kitchen.
"Isn't life easy? No matter where you are, it's not easy."
Looking at the shopkeeper's retreating back, Li Mu couldn't help but think of the world he had lived in for a thousand years. The people in that world seemed to be living unsatisfactory lives.
