At this time, Su Muxi returned home and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xie Ning sitting in the living room reading a book quietly.
Su Muxi said loudly: "Grandma, I'm back."
Hearing Su Muxi's voice, Xie Ning put down the book and looked towards the door with a smile.
"Mu Xi is back."
She looked up at the clock on the wall and found that Su Muxi came back half an hour later than yesterday.
She asked happily: "Xiao Xi, you came back later today than yesterday. Did you make a good friend?"
Su Muxi's face was filled with excitement and satisfaction, and she nodded in response: "Yes, grandma, we have an appointment to play together tomorrow."
As she spoke, she quickly walked to the table, picked up the boiled water prepared on the table, and gulped down a few big gulps.
After drinking the water, she turned to Xie Ning and said, "Grandma, I'm going upstairs to paint."
Before she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to run up the stairs.
Xie Ning was left behind, looking at her back with a smile.
For three consecutive days, Su Muxi would come to the nearby square on time to carve wooden signs.
And Su Qi would appear in the same place every day.
Every time they met, they just greeted each other briefly, and then Su Muxi began to concentrate on carving the wooden sign, while Su Qi watched quietly from the side.
Once, someone who often hung out with Su Qi came over and asked him to play chess, but he shook his head to refuse, his eyes always on Su Muxi.
In this way, day after day passed, and on the fourth day, Su Muxi finally completed a wooden plaque that made her particularly satisfied.
She held the wooden sign in her hand and looked at it carefully, a satisfied smile on her face.
This is the most skillful wooden plaque she has carved recently.
Although the spiritual power it contains is not abundant, it is already quite good compared to the previous primary talismans.
After careful observation over the past few days, Su Qi discovered that Su Muxi had an excellent character.
No matter how noisy the surrounding environment is, she seems to be able to concentrate on her wood carving work without distraction.
What’s even more surprising is that for a child of only three or four years old, she was able to maintain this state for several days in a row.
This undoubtedly shows that she has extraordinary perseverance and concentration.
Not to mention a three or four-year-old child, even for an adult, it would be difficult to do this.
I believe that such a child can achieve something in whatever she does as long as she is interested in it.
Although Su Qi has already announced to the public that he will no longer accept disciples.
But seeing such a good seedling, he was eager to take him in as a disciple.
So, he couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, your carving skills are so good, who did you learn from? Have you ever thought about learning from a great master?"
When Su Muxi heard this, she stopped what she was doing, raised her head and smiled brightly.
"Grandpa, I don't want to find a teacher."
After saying that, he continued to lower his head to clean up the wood chips on his body and the stone table.
Su Qi wanted to say a few more words to Su Muxi.
At this time, Su Muxi, who had already packed up, took the lead.
"Grandpa, please go home early today, otherwise there might be a fire at home."
After Su Muxi finished speaking, she threw away the garbage and went home.
Su Qi was left standing there with a puzzled look on his face, wondering why this little girl suddenly said something so nonsensical.
Looking at Su Muxi's back as she walked away, Su Qi couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.
What the hell is this little girl talking about?
His house was fine, how could it catch fire?
He was originally in a happy mood and was looking forward to accepting a well-behaved and cute little apprentice.
As a result, not only did she not answer her own question seriously, but she also said a bunch of inexplicable and confusing words.
Su Qi put his hands behind his back, walked up to the group of chess friends with a somewhat annoyed look, and watched them play chess quietly.
However, the words Su Muxi had just said kept echoing in his mind like a spell, making him upset.
At this moment, even the mood to watch the chess game is gone.
So he simply stopped watching and decided to go home directly.
He wanted to go and see for himself whether the house was really on fire as the little girl said.
In this way, I walked and thought along the way, and finally returned home.
When he reached out to open the door, a strong and pungent smell suddenly hit his nose.
Su Qi's heart tightened and he hurried to the kitchen.
He looked over and saw that the kettle was emitting thick white smoke. The bottom of the kettle was already burning red and it seemed that it could catch fire at any time.
Panicked, he strode forward, quickly turned off the gas stove, then carefully picked up the kettle and placed it in the sink.
At this time, the kettle made a "hissing" sound, accompanied by sporadic sparks.
Su Qi's heart beat faster and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He knew that if he was a step later, a fire might break out.
He turned on the tap and let cold water run over the kettle, hoping to lower its temperature.
After his tension eased a little, Su Qi began to check the kitchen to make sure there were no other safety hazards.
He took a deep breath and secretly thanked himself for coming back early today, discovering the danger in time and avoiding a terrible fire.
If it was any later, the consequences would be disastrous.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
At the same time, I thought of Su Muxi.
I couldn't help but wonder how she could predict the future.
Just then, Su Qi's wife Liang Lirong came back with a bag of vegetables.
Seeing Su Qi standing in the kitchen with a serious expression, she asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Su Qi quickly pulled her into the kitchen, pointed at the kettle and told her what had just happened.
After hearing this, Liang Lirong's face turned extremely pale and she covered her chest tightly with her hands. She was so scared that her heart was about to jump out.
“Oh my God! That was so scary,” she gasped. “I almost got into trouble.”
It turned out that Liang Lirong was planning to boil a pot of water before going out, but her downstairs neighbor called her to go buy vegetables together.
So she hurried out the door, completely forgetting that she was still boiling water.
"It's a good thing you came home early today, otherwise if it caught fire, our family would be doomed."
Liang Lirong said with lingering fear.
Su Qi nodded in agreement.
Then, he told Liang Lirong about what happened when he met Su Muxi a few days ago and what Su Muxi told him before she left today.
After hearing this, Liang Lirong's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Old Su, it seems we have really met a noble person. This girl helped our family escape a disaster."
Su Qi nodded in agreement, his heart filled with gratitude.
The next morning, Su Qi went to the small square to find Su Muxi at the usual time, and Liang Lirong followed him.
She felt that she had to thank Su Muxi in person no matter what to express her family's gratitude.
