After returning to Qingce Manor, Jiang Mu leisurely went back to his residence.
Everything was the same as before. Jiang Mu slowly began to prepare farm tools, seedlings, and fertilizer for the new year.
It's worth mentioning that the Frozen Trees and Blazing Trees that were planted back then would regularly produce Frost Cores and Everlasting Flames, which led some holders of the Eye of God to regularly come to Gingerwood's farm to purchase them.
After all, who wouldn't like something that can improve their abilities? And since these two creatures are extremely rare in the wild and the risks are high, it's better to buy them here.
"By the way, boss," Ma Yanqiao said to Jiang Mu, "did you know that Wanmintang recently closed down?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Mu's hand trembled slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.
Why?
“It seems to be because…” Ma Yanqiao thought for a moment and said.
"It seems to be because of Miss Xiangling. I heard that Miss Xiangling has been seriously ill these past few days and is still in bed..."
Jiang Mu remained silent, still looking at the book in his hands.
“Sigh…” Ma Yanqiao sighed.
"Although I've never met her in person, I've heard that Xiangling's cooking skills are absolutely superb, it's just a pity..."
Jiang Mu remained indifferent. Since the system had already deleted the corresponding character's favorability, it would also have some impact on those around them, such as Ma Yanqiao, who had simply forgotten about them from the past...
"Alright..." Jiang Mu punched him lightly, "Stop thinking about all that nonsense. What, does our Yan Qiao have a crush on someone?"
"Cough cough..."
Ma Yanqiao gave an awkward laugh.
"Alright..."
Jiang Mu smiled and said to Ma Yanqiao.
"I'm going out of town soon and might not be back for a while."
Where to?
“Let’s just wander around Liyue,” Jiang Mu smiled. “To be honest, I’ve been here for over a year and haven’t…”
“Boss, I understand.” Ma Yanqiao said solemnly upon hearing this.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of our farm."
"What you're saying..." Jiang Mu retorted, "It's not like I'm not coming back. I just went out for a walk. The way you're saying it, it's like I'm never coming back. Can't you speak properly!"
"hey-hey……"
After being scolded, Ma Yanqiao wasn't angry; he just chuckled.
"well……"
Jiang Mu sighed and continued.
"After I leave, all the farm's expenses will be handled by you. The remaining Mora is yours."
After tidying up quickly, Jiang Mu left Qingce Manor...
………………
"Let's go check out Liyue Harbor first..."
Jiang Mu looked at the map provided by the system and said.
Liyue Harbor was as bustling as ever. Jiang Mu sat in the He Yu Tea House, ordered a pot of tea, and quietly listened to the opera singers on stage...
Without realizing it, he began to sing softly...
"The people below the stage have passed by, and the old colors are no longer visible."
The person on stage was singing a heartbreaking farewell song.
The word "love" is hard to write, she sings it must be answered with blood.
The curtain rises and falls, who are the guests...?
"Slap slap..."
Suddenly, a round of applause came from the side. Jiang Mu was slightly startled and looked to the side.
"Sir, your singing is excellent, but I wonder what song you are singing..."
The girl stared at Jiang Mu, her eyes flashing with undisguised curiosity.
"This..." Jiang Mu was a little embarrassed. He couldn't very well say that this was an online song from his previous world...
However, he really likes this song, "Red-Clad Ladies".
(Click 1 if you agree)
"My name is Yun Jin."
The young woman gave a slight bow and continued, "May I ask your surname, sir?"
"My name is Jiang Mu."
Jiang Mudao.
Anyway... no one will remember me now, so it's okay to use my real name... right?
“Mr. Jiang,” Yun Jin smiled, “I wonder if you could tell me the origin of your piece? Oh, of course, I can buy it for Mora…”
“No need for Mora,” Jiang Mu said with a wry smile. “It’s just a folk song. If Miss Yun Jin likes it, I can just write it for you.”
"Thank you very much then..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Jin smiled slightly.
"Please follow me. There is a private room upstairs. Please go up and have a seat."
After teaching Yun Jin the melody and lyrics, Jiang Mu excused himself and left.
"What a strange person..."
Yun Jin watched Jiang Mu's hurried departure and said with some helplessness.
However, she quickly turned her attention back to the lyrics.
………………
After wandering around for a while, Jiang Mu arrived at Tianheng Mountain.
"Hello, this is Qianyan Army on official business. All unauthorized personnel, please leave immediately."
Jiang Mu saw a small house in the distance and was about to go up to ask for a drink of water, but he was stopped by a Qianyan soldier after taking only a few steps.
"Excuse me... what happened?"
Jiang Mu asked with some doubt.
Perhaps seeing his young age, the Qianyan soldier sighed and said.
"well……"
It turned out that a family of three lived on the mountain. The father was a member of the Thousand Rock Army and had originally planned to resign and go home after completing this mission to take care of his wife and son...
"It's just a pity that Brother Jiang died during this mission while protecting one of our comrades... Alas—"
Tears welled up in the eyes of the Qianyan soldier as he continued.
"Next, another group of treasure hunters set their sights on this family, planning to rob and kill them..."
"The mother told her child she wanted to play hide-and-seek with him, and made him hide... while she went to distract the group of treasure hunters..."
And then... tsk!
Seeing Qian Yanjun's pained expression, Jiang Mu couldn't help but ask.
"And what about that child...?"
“Xiao Jiang… he has had cognitive impairment since childhood…” said the Qianyan soldier.
"The brothers originally wanted to chip in some money to support him, but..."
He insists that his mother will come back, and that she's just playing hide-and-seek with him right now...
At this point, the man from Qianyan Army broke down in tears…
"..."
Jiang Mu remained silent as he approached the house.
"Big brother, have you seen my mother?"
Chubby little Jiang chuckled and said to Jiang Mu.
"Mom said that if she wants to play hide-and-seek with me, it must be because I hid so well that she didn't find me..."
"It's okay, I'll keep waiting. My mother told me that a person should keep their word..."
Jiang Mu remained silent for a while, then slowly left without saying anything...
………………
Several months have passed, and Jiang Mu has traveled almost all over Liyue, witnessing a unique array of human experiences...
"It's time to go back and take a look..."
Jiang Mu looked at Gou Dan on his shoulder and smiled slightly.
With this guy keeping me company these past few months, I haven't been too bored...
As Jiang Mu walked, he realized that he had actually arrived at Wuwang Slope...
Come to think of it, this is where I first met Hu Tao...
Jiang Mu couldn't help but find it amusing.
It's been so long, and I'm still...
Wait! Jiang Mu suddenly saw someone lying in front of him...
Upon closer inspection, the person was none other than...
walnut!
