007 Threat
The Qing Empire started with cavalry and shooting, and the role of finger rings on cavalry is beyond doubt.
Although few powerful people in the Qing Dynasty can ride and shoot, the ring, as one of the essential items of cavalry, has become a symbol of the noble families of the Qing Empire.
The little fat man in the brocade robe is carved from jade. This piece of jade is green and crystal clear. Li Mu saw the hunting heart at first glance. It feels better when he touches it, it feels warm and delicate, and full of glutinousness. Li Mu puts a thumbs on without hesitation.
It's a little bigger, but it's okay. Li Mu's body will develop and his fingers will become thicker, which will be the right time.
Li Mu is planning to never pick it up in his life. People raise jade, and jade raises people.
When Li Mu went out, he found a problem. Although he successfully got a jade ring from the fat man, Li Mu walked in a hurry and forgot to ask where the fat man had lived before. Now it was so midnight, so he couldn't squat on the deck all night. Li Mu thought about it and went to find Old Man Chen and asked Old Man Chen to find another place for him to live.
As soon as he walked to Old Man Chen's door, Li Mu heard someone talking in the cabin. Out of politeness, Li Mu did not rush to knock on the door, and was about to wait for the people in the room to leave before knocking on the door.
As for the cabin, the sound insulation effect is not very good. The people in the room are a little excited to speak, and Li Mumu can still hear it in a vague way.
"——When Li Mu was disrespectful and greedy, if he was allowed to stay with us children studying in the United States, there would be big problems sooner or later. It would be better to eliminate them as soon as possible to avoid future troubles————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
These words shocked Li Mu. Didn’t he just ask you for a few taels of silver? As for killing someone to silence him?
However, this was not what Old Man Chen said. Li Mu resisted pushing the door and went in to ask for an urge to understand, and continued to listen at the door.
"God has the virtue of being alive and should not use his swords. Li Mu is indeed a naughty point, but he is still a child after all. He only has a few taels of silver, which is nothing." This is Old Man Chen's voice. After hearing this, Li Mu was overjoyed and wanted to go in and hug Old Man Chen and kiss him a few times.
"Dong Weng is kind and righteous, but you should not be kind to a woman. The money is small and the court's responsibilities are big. Li Mu has no clue. If he can stay calmly, it is not bad to stay. But seeing that Li Mu is not a sloppy and greedy and stupid person, he will definitely cause a big disaster in the future. If the court pursues the matter at that time, Dong Weng must be careful." The man did not give up and continued to lobby against Li Mu.
"This--" Perhaps thinking of the threat from the court, Chen Liqiu was obviously a little hesitant.
"Dongweng must know that no one hurts the tiger, and tigers harm people's hearts. Li Mu was well aware of the way of merchants at such a young age, and his habits were also greedy and ignorant of merchants. Today, he could be a few dozen taels of silver below. If his appetite grew bigger and bigger in the future, what if he asked for more? Looking at Li Mu, he must not be a person who kept his mouth shut and could not show off with the rest of the students. If the rest of the students made such a request, wouldn't he be satisfied one by one? The thousand-mile dike was destroyed in the ant hole." The man continued to add fuel to the fire and insisted on putting Li Mu to death.
Li Mu was already cold all over now, and he wanted to rush into the house to sign a contract with Old Man Chen, ensuring that he was kept a tight-lipped word on this matter and that he would never raise the price in the future.
However, Li Mu is not stupid either. If he rushes in, he will probably be tied up and thrown into the sea by the angry old man Chen. Li Mu looks at his little arms and legs and immediately backs down.
"But in full view of everyone--" Old Man Chen was a little hesitant.
"It would be fine if Li Mu couldn't get sick. Since he had woken up, he could only make a quick decision. This place was a vast ocean, and the wind and waves were very strong when he was sailing. It was a common thing to fall into the water. It would be enough to report that he was ineffective in treating the disease. Who else would have to live to see someone die or see a corpse?" The man was also cruel and had a good idea.
Li Mu is just an eleven or twelve-year-old child. He is unrestrained by a young man. It is indeed normal to fall into the water. Li Mu is an orphan again. Even if he dies, his family will not pursue his family. It is perfect for him to get rid of Li Mu without knowing it.
"Since that's the case - go." It sounds like Chen Liqiu is not right, but not expressing himself is a statement.
The people in the room still had some unknown reason and said, "Dong Weng, let's leave first." Then Li Mu heard footsteps and came straight to the door.
Li Mu hid at the corner of the house as fast as possible and saw a short and fat middle-aged man with a short figure coming out of Chen Liqiu's house.
Li Mu had seen this person. It was the middle-aged man who came to visit Li Mu with Chen Liqiu when Li Mu woke up.
Li Mu originally thought that this man was Chen Liqiu's servant or housekeeper, but he didn't expect that he was Chen Liqiu's aide.
After accidentally learning about this conversation, Li Mu suddenly lost all sleepiness. Chen Liqiu is now unsafe, and the children are not reliable. They will definitely not fight against Li Mu and Chen Liqiu, and the original room cannot be returned. The fat man may have the heart to eat Li Mu raw now. In order to prevent the middle-aged man from looking for Li Mu overnight, Li Mu climbed directly to the top of the cabin and sat next to the chimney for a night.
This time traveler is doing a bit miserable!
Li Mu thought a little too much that night. Looking at the bright night sky that would never be seen in the 21st century, and smelling the gentle sea breeze with a fishy smell, Li Mu's mood was extremely heavy.
I originally thought that I had traveled through time, and not to mention that I was the most powerful minister to win the world, at least I could have a good time to eat and drink without worrying about wealth and prosperity, but I didn’t expect that the reality was so desolate.
Only now did Li Mu feel the sinisterness of this era. If an individual does not have enough strength, he will not even be able to protect his right to survive. If Li Mu had not learned about this incident accidentally, he might have been conspired by the middle-aged man. At that time, Li Mu would become the most tragic "time traveler" and the most tragic "school child in the United States". Before he could arrive in the United States, he would die before he could succeed.
Touching the jade ring on his hand, Li Mu secretly swore that he must live a personal life in this life and that he cannot let others decide his own life and death at will.
Although he has ambitions, the current difficulties still need to be solved. On this vast sea, the ship is like an isolated island. Just such a big place, Li Mu has nowhere to escape. The ship will take half a month to dock. Even if he can escape tonight, what should he do tomorrow night? Li Mu always has to sleep, and once he is put on the order, Li Mu's life may be threatened at any time.
