Chapter 320 Amo

Baozhu followed Anan to catch up with the master and told him about the person she had just bumped into.

I just happened to ask my master for half a day off.

Yin Huaixi naturally agreed.

Baozhu returned home and went straight to the kitchen. My mother had not gone to the city in the past two days, so she had not brought back any fresh meat from my grandfather.

But there was a big jar of lard at home, so she planned to get a small jar to give to the man, and also get some sugar and fish fillets, which should be enough.

Baozhu herself doesn't have such good cooking skills to cook a good meal, so she can only think of this compensation.

Of course, I had to carry some money with me. If he really didn't want the lard and other things, I could just pay for it myself.

After packing up her things, Baozhu carried her basket and went to the next village.

No matter which village, as long as there are big trees, there will always be a few old ladies.

They are old and can no longer do housework, so they can only help look after the younger ones at home.

She came with her master today. The old ladies all knew that she was Doctor Yin's apprentice, and they all thought Baozhu was going to Meimei's house.

As a result, she started by asking the dumb boy in the village.

"Grandma, do you know where his home is?"

Several grandmas looked at each other, and one of the gossipy grandmas winked at her ambiguously.

"Little girl, why are you asking about that boy Ah Mo? What is your relationship with him?"

"It's nothing. He just saw me on the road and I accidentally damaged his things, so he came to compensate me."

There was no unnecessary expression on Baozhu's face, and she did not show the shyness of a little girl as everyone imagined.

That's right, this girl is well-bred and her family is not bad. How could she be attracted to that dumb little Ah-Mo?

It doesn't fit at all.

Seeing that there was nothing ambiguous, everyone stopped asking questions and showed her the way.

When Baozhu heard this, she just thought, well, it’s really remote.

No matter which village, those who live in the corners are the marginalized or very poor families in the village.

There was one in my village as well, but after the master and his people came, the feng shui of the end of the village seemed to have changed, and it became a place that everyone in the village loved to go to.

Baozhu followed the instructions and finally saw the small three-room mud courtyard that the old ladies had talked about at the foot of a mountain behind the village.

The courtyard door was closed, and she walked up hesitantly and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone home?"

As soon as Baozhu screamed, there was a slight collision sound from inside, and a hoarse female voice responded to her.

"Girl, are you here to look for Ah-Mo? He's gone to fetch water and will be back soon."

Baozhu was stunned. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be the host who opens the door and invites the guests in?

The person inside spoke in a gentle tone but unexpectedly did not invite her in, which felt strange.

Baozhu thought that fetching water should be quick, so she didn't insist on going in. She could just return the things outside and go home.

The big rock at the door of the house was very close, so she simply sat down and waited for people.

Less than a cup of tea later, the boy she bumped into today appeared at the intersection.

He carried two full buckets of water and walked quite fast, but not much water spilled out. It was amazing.

Baozhu saw him, but he was looking down at the road and didn't notice the person at the door until he was almost at the door.

The young man was stunned for a moment, confusion flashing in his eyes.

"Um, your name is Ah Mo, right? I just told you that I would give you a gift as compensation."

Baozhu lifted the cloth covering the basket, revealing the things she had prepared.

"I'm so sorry. Your meal looks like it was made by a very skilled chef. I really can't make it. This is the lard I brought from home, as well as some brown sugar and fish slices as snacks. If you don't want anything, just tell me the price. I have money."

A hint of surprise flashed across the boy's eyes.

He never thought that this girl would actually come to give him compensation. And looking at these things, they were worth far more than his meal.

This girl is very sincere.

Qian Mo shook his head and refused directly. The food he scattered today was the leftovers of the customers in the restaurant, and he didn't spend any money on it. Besides, if he picked it up and washed the meat, it would be edible.

No compensation is required.

But he couldn't speak, and the girl opposite him couldn't understand what he meant.

Worried that the two would continue to linger on the side of the road and be seen by villagers, Qian Mo opened the door and took Baozhu into the yard.

The gate was no longer closed but wide open.

As soon as Baozhu entered the yard, she saw a woman coming out of the kitchen.

She has a scar on her face and hands from years of burns, which looks a bit scary at first glance.

However, Baozhu has become immune to it after watching Mr. Bei’s face changing its medicine every day.

No matter how scary it is, it is not as scary as Mr. Bei’s face.

Besides, it's just a scar. When Baozhu saw the scar, the first thing she thought about was what ointment to use to lighten it. She didn't feel afraid at all.

Qian Mo and his mother were both a little surprised.

After all, I have been disliked and hated by so many people over the years because of that scar, especially children, who were even scared and cried.

This girl is not afraid.

It's really rare.

Qian Mo's mother looked at her son and saw that he looked helpless, so she had to go forward and entertain the guests herself.

After hearing Baozhu's account of the whole story, Qian Mo Niang couldn't help but smile.

"Miss Baozhu, you don't have to pay for anything. The food you knocked over was leftover from the customers at the restaurant where Ah Mo worked, and it didn't cost you anything. I've already picked out the meat, and you can eat it after washing it. The food won't be wasted, and there are chickens and ducks."

When Baozhu heard that the meat had to be washed before eating, she felt a little sad.

The villagers are generally poor, so if there is some meat that falls on the ground they will naturally find a way to eat it.

Even though I know it, it's a bit painful to hear it with my own ears.

"Then I'll take the brown sugar and fish slices, and keep the lard. This is not only my compensation for spilling the food, but also a thank you gift from Brother A-Mo for returning the money to me just now. That was my master's medical fee for today. If it's really lost, I'll have to pay hundreds of coins."

Baozhu put the lard can directly into Amen's arms, and to avoid being pushed around again, she ran away.

Before leaving, she said something to A'mer's mother.

If you want to lighten your scars, you can go to the next village to find her master and buy medicine for treatment.

The little girl felt relieved and left happily.

A'mo's mother stood at the door for a long time before returning to the yard with red eyes.

"Amo, this girl is so nice."

It's been a long time since anyone treated her as a normal person.
