Chapter 366: Aho-Male is the Soul
The old man lost two games in a row, quietly put away the chess set, and went to watch his wife cook.
Brother Nan was bored, so he sat next to Li Mu holding yogurt and playing with it, talking to him from time to time: "You carve better than me, can you carve a pistol for me? A Desert Eagle, or a revolver, or a 95 rifle will do."
"."
Li Mu pretended not to hear anything.
noon.
The old hen is stewed.
The old couple are old and dare not use any seasonings randomly, so this pot of chicken soup only contains onions, ginger, chicken, mushrooms, a pinch of salt, and no other seasonings.
But the taste is very delicious.
The chickens were free-range hens raised on farm grains, and the mushrooms also had a unique flavor. Li Mu recognized the bamboo fungus, matsutake mushroom, and chicken mushroom.
The chicken soup is cooked into a golden and thick consistency, with the delicious flavors of meat and mushrooms mixed together. Just one sip is so delicious that it can make your tongue fall off.
With the warm hospitality of the old couple, Li Mu couldn't remember how many bowls of soup he drank. He only knew that his stomach was full of water and the big pot of chicken soup was completely empty. He also ate a lot of mushrooms but less chicken.
The cat eats a lot of meat and has a round belly.
She really couldn't understand why humans only liked to drink soup and not eat meat.
After dinner, they chatted for a while and then Li Mu and Brother Nan left.
The afternoon sun feels warm on my body.
Instead of rushing home, the two of them took a walk along the roadside.
Brother Nan was walking while scrolling through Douyin and saw a busty girl doing burpees. The busty girl might be from Guangdong, Guangxi or Hainan, and she was wearing a thin single-piece dress.
She had just grinned and was watching with great interest when she suddenly realized something. She quickly turned off the video and turned to look at Li Mu seriously.
"what happened?"
"Did you see it?"
"what did you see?"
"It's nothing, it's okay if you didn't see it." Brother Nan put the phone into his pocket, "Otherwise I will have to dig out your eyes."
"."
Li Mu looked puzzled, not knowing what was wrong with her.
The two people and the cat walked slowly and leisurely, attracting the attention of passers-by on the road.
Suddenly, he saw many passers-by around him holding up their mobile phones and gathering together.
Just as he was wondering, Brother Nan pulled him towards the crowd.
A traffic accident occurred on the road. A small truck knocked down a fire hydrant on the side of the road.
The driver must have been distracted as he was standing near a fire hydrant that was spraying water and talking on the phone.
The gushing water was refracted by the sunlight to form a gorgeous rainbow.
Many people raised their mobile phones to take pictures of this rainbow.
But Sister Nan didn't take a picture. She just turned her head and stared at the rainbow for a while, then put her hands in her pockets and continued to walk slowly forward.
"Crack!"
Li Mu secretly took a photo from behind, capturing her and Rainbow in the frame.
A basketball rolled down to her feet, and the guys on the basketball court in the distance greeted her with a smile: "Beautiful girl, help me pick up the ball!"
Brother Nan grinned, took a hand out of his pocket, bent down and tapped the ball, then threw it with one hand. The basketball flew in the air beyond the three-point line, curved like a rainbow.
With a bang, the ball went into the basket.
The guys were shocked.
Brother Nan laughed out loud twice, and that smile was brighter and more dazzling than the rainbow just now. Li Mu felt for a moment that this kind of time was really good, plain and interesting, slow and gentle.
Until Brother Nan turned around and looked at him, his face full of pride, and asked him: "Am I awesome?"
Li Mu pursed his lips.
I withdrew my previous thought.
As they walked, they passed by a small park and Brother Nan turned in first.
"Come up." Brother Nan shouted.
"no need."
"Come up and sit next to me. Look, the yogurt is here."
"No."
"why?"
"."
Li Mu looked at the pedestrians around him, then looked up at Brother Nan——
The stone platform was more than one meter high and had words carved on it. He really couldn't climb up and sit on it under the gaze of so many people. Brother Nan continued to urge him, "Ignore them. Let them watch if they want. No matter how much they watch, you won't lose a piece of meat! Hurry up!"
Five seconds later.
Li Mu sat down next to her and looked into the distance.
Brother Nan chuckled and said, "Is the perspective different?"
Li Mu nodded.
The stone platform is indeed not very high, but the greening of this place is quite good, with many ornamental evergreen trees. The view from below is mostly blocked by these trees, but after sitting up, the view can pass over the treetops of these trees and look directly at the hustle and bustle of traffic in the distance.
It’s a different kind of scenery.
"This is for you." Li Mu reached into his pocket and took out a statue.
It is carved from boxwood. Due to his lack of skills, he obviously cannot carve it one-to-one with a real person like Mr. Wu, so he carves it in a cartoon-like manner.
"What is this?" Brother Nan took it and immediately looked at it carefully.
The little girl in the statue is wearing slim-fit jeans and has a pair of long legs. She is wearing a pair of mid-top sneakers. Her top is obviously a jacket, probably denim, but it is not painted.
Her hair is not long and is tied into a small bun at the back of her head.
She put her hands in her pockets and looked like she deserved a beating.
"I carved a picture of you when I was carving at Wu's house."
Li Mu said, "Originally I wanted to carve a statue of you playing basketball. You like playing basketball, so you wear a jersey and shorts and hold a basketball. But then I thought jerseys and shorts are too difficult to carve, so I carved it like this. My technique is not good, so please don't despise me."
"You are sensible! Big brother won't dislike you." Brother Nan looked at him over and over again, very happy, "Why is there a hole on the top of your head?"
"Oh, something's missing."
Li Mu reached into his pocket again and searched for a while, "Found it, this thing fell off."
Brother Nan was stunned and muttered, "What is this? Is this... Xiao Musi'er?"
To be precise, it is a curved, thin piece of wood.
"Be careful, it's fragile, it's the soul of this statue."
"Really good at playing"
Brother Nan seemed to have realized something.
Sure enough, she blinked and watched Li Mu carefully twist the small wooden thread, come closer, bend the wooden sculpture in his hand, point the top of the sculpture's head towards him, and then insert the small wooden thread into it.
The statue suddenly came alive.
"Oh!"
Brother Nan gritted his teeth in anger: "Daimao, Daimao, you only care about Daimao! Follow Daimao!"
"Oh."
Li Mu lowered his head and tapped Mao'er's forehead with a calm expression.
Although Brother Nan said he was angry, he carefully took the wood carving and put it into his pocket, for fear of breaking it.
"Since you put so much effort into carving it, I will put it up as a sacrifice when I get back."
This sentence sounded very familiar to Li Mu.
"gone!"
Nan Ge pushed herself up with both hands and jumped off the stone platform. After landing, she turned around and looked at Li Mu: "Do you want me to catch you?"
"."
The two of them walked back slowly along the road.
When they got to the parked car, Brother Nan walked around it, opened the door and got in: "Let's go and put the license plate on."
"Is the DMV open yet? Temporary license plates can be used for three months, so there's no rush."
"I started working on the eighth day of the first lunar month."
"Oh."
"Don't worry, with Brother Nan here, I'll definitely be able to pick an awesome license plate number!"
"."
The two drove straight to the provincial vehicle management office.
After filling out a bunch of forms and providing copies of various documents, it was finally time to choose the license plate.
With Brother Nan, the lucky boy, it was no surprise that he chose a very good license plate number - 'Provincial A·99999'
The entire vehicle registration office hall was in an uproar. This number had been in the database for many years, and no one had ever selected it.
Li Mu once again refreshed his understanding of Brother Nan's luck.
Thanks to Zuimengyunxusuiyu for the reward! Thanks to Qingshanyisheng for the reward!
