Chapter 420 The Bai Mother and Son
This is a very old house with a small footprint.
"Brother, my sister is my home here. Although it's a bit broken, it's very clean!"
Bai Xiao seemed to be afraid that Li Mo would look down on his house, so he hurriedly explained.
Li Mo remained silent, still looking at the small courtyard,
"Xiao Er? Are you back?"
A woman who looked to be only about 30 years old walked out of a room with shambling steps!
"Mother, why did you come out? You are still recovering from illness."
Bai Xiao hurried forward to help his mother.
"Look at you kid, why don't the guests call me! Who are these two?"
"Mother, these two brothers and sisters gave me the one hundred taels of silver yesterday. Today they came to see our house and wanted to rent it."
"Hello, Auntie! Junior Li Mo, this is Liu Yan. The two of us traveled here and wanted to stay here for a while. Brother Bai Xiao happened to talk about some vacant rooms, so I came over to have a look."
"Alas! I was the one who dragged this child down. His father left early, and I was sick again. The family can only rely on him to go out to earn money to support the family. Don't laugh, our house is indeed a bit dilapidated. If you don't mind, move Come and live for a while and the rent will be raised, the money you gave yesterday is enough!"
"Auntie! That can't be done, yesterday was for Bai Xiao's guide fee, we can't live in this house for nothing!"
Liu Yan interjected.
"No, I said no, I just don't want it. If you have to give it, go find another house!"
Bai Xiao's mother is also very stubborn.
"Auntie, don't get too excited. It's important for us to stay here. Liu Yan, please take care of Auntie. Bai Xiao, follow me to the inn to get some things."
After Li Mo explained everything, he dragged Bai Xiao out of the yard.
"Brother Li Mo, I'm sorry, but I can't help it. You also saw my mother..."
"Okay, stop talking! I understand your difficulties." As he spoke, Li Mo took out a few hundred taels of silver bills from his pocket and handed them to Bai Xiao.
"Take it to see your mother!"
"Brother Li, no... that's not what I meant!"
"I know you don't mean that. You are so young to bear the burden of the family. This is lent to you by your brother, and you will return it to me when you have money in the future!"
In Li Mo's heart, he admired Bai Xiao very much. He was so sensible at such a young age, supported the family, and took care of his sick mother. This moved Li Mo and decided to help Bai Xiao.
"Thank you, Brother Li! I will definitely return the money to you!"
Bai Xiao couldn't control his emotions.
Li Mo patted Bai Xiao's shoulder lightly, and walked towards the inn.
...
When they returned to Bai Xiao's home, Liu Yan had already tidied up their two rooms, and was teasing Xiao Bai cheerfully.
Seeing Li Mo coming back, he hurried forward.
"Li Mo, Bai Xiao's mother and son are really pitiful, can we help them!"
"rest assured,
Of course I will do what I have to do! "
Liu Yan smiled and said nothing, she knew that Li Mo was also a kind person, otherwise, she would not have lived in Bai Xiao's house.
"Okay, let's go out for a stroll, Xiao Xiao is already waiting for us outside!"
"That's great, Li Mo, do you know? I haven't felt this comfortable for a long time. I'm in the county guard's mansion every day, and it almost suffocates me to death!"
It has to be said that due to its unique advantages, Taiping Town has attracted many foreign martial arts experts. Although the area is not very large, the street scene is very lively.
Not only were the local people shouting and selling their own products, but Li Mo even saw some martial arts masters setting up stalls to sell some low-level elixir and some magic weapons, of course the price was naturally high.
Liu Yan is like a happy elf, looking around to see that everything is fresh, while Xiao Bai on the shoulders is more timid, with two front paws tightly grasping Liu Yan's clothes, and big eyes looking around vigilantly.
"Hey!" Li Mo stopped when he passed by a vendor with only the strength of a warrior. He became interested in a simple mirror on the stall.
"Yo! My little brother, you really have a good eye. This ancient mirror is a treasure handed down from my teacher. It seems that you are also a fellow. Let me sell it to you at a lower price. How about a thousand taels?
"Wow! Why don't you go grab it, a broken mirror costs a thousand taels?"
Bai Xiao beside him couldn't help exclaiming.
"What do you know, little doll? This is the treasure of my teacher's sect, go and play while you go, don't disturb the uncle's business!"
...
Li Mo ignored the stall owner's words at all. If it was true as he said, how could this bronze mirror be sold? There are only two possibilities. The stall owner was so weak that he didn't even realize that it was a treasure.
Li Mo has been looking at this quaint bronze mirror. Although part of the back of the bronze mirror has been covered by mottled green rust, Li Mo can still see that the engravings on the back of the mirror are Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. The four holy beasts, as for some of the surrounding inscriptions, Li Mo did not recognize them!
But for some reason, this bronze mirror always gives Li Mo a familiar feeling!
"One hundred taels, I want this bronze mirror!"
Li Mo withdrew his gaze and looked at the stall owner.
"Little brother, this is a treasure of the master's sect, one hundred taels? You should go to another place to have a look!"
The stall owner gave Li Mo a contemptuous look, but remained silent.
How could Li Mo not know his little trick, stood up and was about to leave.
"Hey! You take the five hundred taels, little brother, how about counting me as a good deed today?"
The stall owner got this bronze mirror by accident. When he saw the pattern on the back of the bronze mirror, he regarded it as a treasure, but no matter how much he studied it, he couldn't find any difference in it, so he finally gave up and got it. The booth is sold to see if it can be sold for a good price, but no one has been interested in the past month or so.
Seeing that Li Mo is more interested in this bronze mirror today, he opened his mouth wide like a lion!
"I don't want more than one hundred and two cents."
"Hey! Little brother, how about three hundred taels? This is already my biggest concession."
"Hehe, goodbye!"
Li Mo ignored Liu Yan and Bai Xiao and left.
"Think I'm unlucky today, little brother, you've picked up a big bargain, if I wasn't in a hurry to spend money, I wouldn't be able to sell it!"
The stall owner picked up Li Mo and really wanted to leave, so he hurriedly stopped him.
Anyway, this thing is like broken copper and iron in my hands, and it's useless to keep it. It's better to change it for some silver.
Li Mo handed over the silver to the stall owner, took the bronze mirror and left without talking nonsense with him.
"Li Mo, what exactly is this bronze mirror?"
Watching Li Mo keep playing with the bronze mirror in his hand, Liu Yan asked curiously.
"I don't know what this is, but I always have an indescribably familiar feeling about it!"
"Ah! You don't know what it is, so you still pay a hundred taels for it. I think you have so much money that you have nothing to spend!"
After Liu Yan finished speaking, she ignored Li Mo and went to other stalls to pick out her favorite items.
...
"What kind of treasure are you?"
Li Mo looked at the bronze mirror in his hand, feeling that it was nothing extraordinary!
