    Such is the death.  Time is like a river rolling eastward, never stopping because of lack of anyone.  At noon on the second day after Li Mu left Lianshan Town, at the "Li Ji Teahouse" in the center of the town, his third uncle was keeping accounts behind the counter.  Li Qing was busy running around until all the guests' cups were filled with tea. Then he came to the counter carrying a copper teapot with a long spout, panting heavily and wiping the sweat from his forehead.  Shui said: "Third uncle, I'm really tired! I thought it would be an easy job to pour tea for others, but I didn't expect that my legs would be broken running away." Third uncle raised his head and glanced at the lobby, and then gently used the ledger to  He knocked on Li Qing's head and said with a smile: "Now you know you are tired? Aren't you very excited at first? But it's right to think about it. The tea for the guest here is not ready yet, and the guest over there is shouting for more water.  It's weird if your feet don't touch the ground when you're not busy." Then he touched his goatee and said with a proud look on his face: "You little kids, you just don't want to see and learn more, and ask us old men for advice.  You deserve to die from exhaustion. In fact, when A Mu first came here, he was in a hurry every day." Li Qing tapped his lower back and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Third uncle, I heard what you said.  It seems to mean that Amu has not been so busy since then? How is it possible that there are still so many guests? " "Haha, actually even if I don't tell you, you will understand it in a few days.  Come here." The third uncle said with a rather proud smile, then put the account book on the counter, picked up the abacus next to it and started to calculate the accounts.  "Third uncle, please tell me first." Li Qing said with a flattering look on his face, "Look at my grandnephew, my legs are almost thin, and maybe the soles of my feet have blistered. What's more, I  He's not as smart as A Mu, and he might not be able to figure it out in ten days and a half. You don't want to see your grandnephew lying down because of exhaustion, right?  Mu is not as eloquent as you." The third uncle glanced at Li Qing sideways and couldn't help but feel angry and amused when he saw his lazy look.  Perhaps because he saw Li Qing's sweaty head, he felt that this grandnephew was not a lazy guy. After thinking for a moment, the third uncle put down the abacus in his hand, tapped the counter with his fingers and said, "It's actually very simple, you don't have to listen.  When a customer calls you, go to that customer immediately. It doesn't matter if you ask the customer to wait for a while, but you must agree immediately, so that the customer will still be willing to understand your difficulties. " The third uncle said this.  Then he stopped, and Li Qing asked dumbfoundedly: "That's it? It's like you didn't say anything." "You lazy guy, you really don't want to think about anything." The third uncle couldn't help but pick up the account book and type in it.  He knocked on his forehead and said with a helpless look, "Then take a closer look, why are the tables in our teahouse arranged like this? If you still can't figure it out after looking at it, then you will have to break your leg.  You deserve it." After the third uncle finished speaking, he ignored Li Qing and turned the abacus in his hand with his head down, leaving Li Qing standing in front of the counter with a black line on his head, a look on his face.  If you don't understand, you will feel resentful inside and out.  "Brother, please add more tea." A customer by the window greeted loudly.  "Oh, it's coming, it's coming, coming right away." Li Qing immediately replied loudly, walking over while carrying the teapot, muttering to himself: "Why are the tables in the teahouse arranged in this pattern?  ? Why? " The third uncle, who was busy settling accounts, raised his head and looked at his thoughtful grandnephew, with a look of relief on his face.  Just as he was about to remind Li Qing not to bump into the guests, he suddenly felt something. He turned his head and looked out the door, with a trace of doubt on his face. He seemed to see another grandnephew Li Mu standing across the road.  But when he took a closer look, he found that standing across the road was just a beggar covered in mud. He couldn't help but shook his head with some self-deprecation and said: "I'm really old. My old eyesight can no longer be used. Amu just yesterday  Go back, how could you come back today? " The third uncle was thinking, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and an emerald green figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Han Jincui, the most beautiful girl in Lianshan Town, jumping across the threshold.  Came in.  The little girl was in high spirits. After entering the door, she looked around and shouted in a clear voice: "Grandpa Third, I'm here to see you. Are you in good health?" "Hahaha, it's Cuicui. You're fine.  Third uncle is in good health." Third uncle immediately put down his calculations and said with a kind smile, "Why do you have time to see third uncle today? Isn't it because of other reasons?" "Jin Cui was not embarrassed at all, but said with a smile: "What other purpose is there? I just came to see your old man. At mosthehe, at most I just stopped by to collect the bill. Some people  He already owes me a lot of debt, and I'm worried that he will default on it and run away, so I came here to supervise him." Having said this, his dark eyes turned around quickly and looked at Li Qing in the lobby.  , asked with some confusion: "Hey, why isn't it Mu Qiao? Why didn't you see him working here today? Isn't it really because he owed too many debts and was afraid of seeing the big creditor that he hid?"  The little girl asked a lot of questions in a barrage. The third uncle didn't know where to start his answer for a moment. After thinking about it, he smiled and joked: "Then you tell the third uncle first, this guy A Mu  What do I owe you? Then Third Grandpa can decide whether to tell you where A Mu is, so as not to be blamed by you if he makes a mistake. " "Hehe, he promised to tell me about the world that Mr. Xilou told me tomorrow.  As for the story, you already owe me eight games with interest. I just came here today to collect some interest first." When he talked about this, Han Jincui looked happy and felt that his account was really a good deal.  Speaking of this, Han Jincui suddenly remembered something and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "By the way, Third Grandpa, Mr. Xilou's dead rat was staying well in Lianshan Town, why did he suddenly leave?" "Xilou  Sir, when did you leave?" the third uncle said with a look of astonishment.  Although he couldn't keep up with the little girl's thinking, the third uncle still heard these words very clearly.  Then I thought about it carefully and realized that I had not seen Xilou Jiumeng appear next door in the past few days. I originally thought that Xilou Jiumeng was just temporarily delayed by something.  Han Jincui flattened her pale pink mouth and said with some depression: "You don't know, do you? I heard from the neighbors that on the day Mu Qiaoda came to my house to buy clothes, Mr. Xilou suddenly packed his bags and went with a few old people.  The neighbor said hello, saying that he had something to deal with at home, and then left. He didn't know when he would come back. " After saying this, Han Jincui stopped paying attention to the old dream of Xilou, and looked around with a pair of beautiful almond eyes.  After looking around, I still didn't see Li Mu's shadow. I suddenly asked with some worry: "Grandpa Third, where has Mudupao gone? He is usually very diligent. Could it be that he is sick today?" "He went home.  Went, the second uncle was injured, he needs to go back and take care of him for a while before he can come back." A strange young man's voice rang out. It turned out that it was Li Qing who happened to be carrying a teapot and came to the counter to pour water. He saw Han Jincui's face.  With an anxious expression, he said casually.  The third uncle glared at Li Qing, as if blaming him for talking too much, and then nodded and said, "Girl, don't worry, A Mu is in good health." Knowing that Li Mu was fine, Han Jincui breathed a sigh of relief.  After a second thought, I felt that there was something wrong with this, so I immediately pretended to be worried and said: "Ah, that's right. Is the second uncle seriously injured? And did Brother Mu go back alone? He  Is your home far away from Lianshan Town? Is there any danger on the road? " The third uncle and Li Qing's grandfather and grandson looked at each other with black lines on their heads. They both saw the confusion in each other's eyes. They were not greeting Li Mu's father.  Injury?  Obviously he is worried about his sweetheart's safety, and also wants to know when his sweetheart will come back.  The third uncle reached out to touch the little girl's bun with a doting look on his face, and said with a smile: "The injury is not very serious. Based on your second uncle's physical condition, he should get better soon. Their family is far away from Lianshan.  The town is not very far. It only takes two days to get there. The road has been uneventful. You, Brother Mu, should be back in two or three months. "It will take a long time."  Han Jincui couldn't help but look unhappy.  At this time, another customer came to ask for water. After Li Qing said hello to Han Jincui, he ran over with a teapot.  The third uncle also had a look of helplessness on his face, so he could only coax the little girl and said: "Girl, it doesn't take long. As long as the maple leaves outside fall, your brother Mu will be back soon. And you can continue to add more."  His third uncle will make the decision for you. Even if you use the "donkey rolling" method, this guy A Mu can't rely on him.  Be happy.  Thinking that after Li Mu came back, he was begging for help in the face of huge debts, hoping to relieve him of his worries, but he looked like a big creditor with high ambitions and a lot of money, and he couldn't help but be very happy.  Thinking of this, Han Jincui looked at the third uncle with hope and said: "Then it's agreed, third uncle, you must do it when the time comes.??I support you, otherwise Mu Qiaoda will definitely default on his debt.  " "Of course. As soon as Amu comes back, Third Grandpa will ask him to go to your house to pay off the debt immediately. If he dares to default on the debt, Third Grandpa will continue to increase the interest for you until he can't afford to pay it back in his lifetime.  "The third uncle pretended to be very serious and said, but in his heart he felt that this beautiful little girl was extremely cute. It would be great if she could be his grand-nephew's daughter-in-law. "Hehe, that's great, thank you, third uncle, then I'll go back first.  .  "Han Jincui waved his fist, with an excited look on his face. Then he reluctantly walked towards the door, and turned his head to look at the stairs a few times, as if expecting Li Mu to suddenly run down the stairs and appear with a smile.  In front of his eyes. After a moment, when he saw that Li Mu did not appear as he expected, Han Jincui reluctantly looked back and walked out of the tea house listlessly, but suddenly he found a familiar figure turning around and walking towards a small alley.  Rubbing her eyes, she felt that she might have missed Li Mu too much. Otherwise, why would she have hallucinations in broad daylight? She was very sure that the person on the other side of the street who was turning around and about to walk away was probably the Li Mu she was thinking about. But the problem was.  The person across the street now was just a beggar leaning on a tree branch. The little girl frowned and couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, but the beggar opposite had already started to walk forward.  As he walked faster, he was about to merge into the bustling crowd. Han Jincui immediately chased after him, staring at the familiar figure in front of him. He was completely sure that the shambling beggar in front of him was the Li Mu whom he missed day and night.  Because she is so familiar with Li Mu¡¯s back and walking posture. Every time he comes out of the tailor shop, Li Mu¡¯s back looks like this when he turns around and leaves. ¡°But why does it look like this?  ?  "Han Jincui murmured to himself in a tearful tone as he ran, "Didn't Third Grandpa say that Brother Mu had gone back yesterday because of something at home?  Today, he appeared across from the teahouse covered in filth. What happened?  " Seeing Li Mu limping and running forward desperately, Han Jincui felt that he was about to cry. He immediately guessed that Li Mu must have encountered some trouble to become like this. "Brother Mu, you are like this.  Wait for me" Han Jincui couldn't help but shout loudly. But when the figure in front heard the sound, instead of stopping, he accelerated even harder and ran forward. In the end, it might be because he ran too fast.  Carefully, he stumbled and fell to the ground, but he immediately got up and continued running towards the alley. Han Jincui finally cried. While crying, he wanted to go over and help Li Mu, but suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away.  As they approached, dozens of horses' hooves hit the road like a tidal wave, and even the ground seemed to be shaking. Business travelers were seen taking shelter on both sides of the road.  A group of about ten black-armored knights entered the town from the North Street of Lianshan Town aggressively. "Get out of the way, urgent military affairs. Anyone who blocks the way will be punished as a rebel" A cold and stern voice shouted loudly.
