Chapter 411 Fainted from the Heat
Upon hearing this, Old Man Mu was also very anxious, but he knew exactly what to do.
"It's better than you getting a heat stroke and going to the clinic."
He smoked his pipe non-stop, his old face gloomy. "It's so hot today. If you're not careful, you'll get heatstroke."
"We don't need the money from the business these few days. You should stay home and rest. We can do business again after the shop opens."
Mu Lao Da advised, "Second brother, listen to dad."
"We can't stand the heat at home, let alone you guys selling barbecue outside, how hot it must be standing in front of the fire."
Mu Lao Er wiped the sweat off his face with a handkerchief and finally agreed. "Okay, we'll do business after the shop opens. Lao San and I will take a rest for the next few days."
"Second brother, have some herbal tea." Mu Laosan walked over quickly with a bowl of herbal tea.
Mu Laoer took it, drank it in one gulp, and immediately felt much better.
"Third brother, we just agreed that we won't be going out for business these days."
He then wiped his mouth and said, "When the shop opens, we'll go directly to the shop to do business."
Mu Laosan thought it was okay, "It's too hot outside."
"Even if you're grilling in the shade, you can still work up a sweat."
"The most important thing is that it's too hot and few people want to eat barbecue."
“It would be different if there was a shop. Customers could sit and wait instead of standing in front of the grill.”
When Mu Laoer heard this, hey, it was exactly what Lao San said.
"Someone come quickly, someone has fainted!" Suddenly, a cry came from outside.
Mu Laodi and his two sons looked at each other.
"Third brother, go check out the situation and don't get too close," Father Mu warned. "Be careful of being blackmailed."
"Just take a look at the gate."
Mu Laosan nodded and quickly went to the gate.
He opened the little door and looked out.
Then I saw an old lady lying unconscious on the ground, with a middle-aged man anxiously watching over her.
"Is there anyone here? Can someone save my mother?"
The middle-aged man was sweating profusely and kept looking around, "Is there any kind-hearted person?"
Then he lowered his head and patted his mother's face, "Mom, wake up quickly, wake up quickly."
Seeing this, Mu Laosan hurried to fetch a basin of well water.
"Brother, your mother may have heatstroke, move her to a cool place quickly."
He splashed water on the old woman's face and said, "Move her to a cool place and apply a wet towel to her."
The middle-aged man immediately moved his mother to a cool place.
But the ground was still very hot, as if it could roast people.
Mu Laosan poured water on the ground and heard a clear "stinging" sound.
Immediately afterwards, a thin puff of white smoke rose up.
He hissed. Isn't the temperature of the ground too high?
It's already mid-afternoon, and the ground temperature is still so high.
"Thank you so much!" The middle-aged man put his mother on the place where the water had touched her.
He took out an embroidered handkerchief from his mother's sleeve, wet it in a basin, and placed it on his mother's forehead.
"Thank you so much, benefactor. Otherwise, something bad would have happened to my mother."
Mu Laosan put the wooden basin on the ground and said, "It's so hot, why did you take your mother out?"
"I, a young and middle-aged man, can't stand it."
He took the risk to save people because he wanted to accumulate blessings for the baby.
The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, "My mother was driven out by my brother's family."
"My brother has been spoiled since he was a child, and the wife he married is not a good person. She has tortured my mother a lot."
"I couldn't stand it, so I came over and said a few words, but then the family kicked my mother out."
Mu Laosan probably knew which family it was. With his mother around, they knew something about all the families in this alley.
There was a young family in the alley. Both the husband and wife were unscrupulous. Not only did they steal things, they also often made a scene and took away the things of their neighbors.
This young couple once wanted to take advantage of his family, but was beaten away by his mother and her three daughters-in-law.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Mu Baobao, who had just returned, happened to see this scene.
"My dear daughter, are you back?" Mu Laosan's face instantly turned into a loving father's and he walked forward to pick up his daughter.
He weighed her, as if he hadn't seen her for a long time, and said, "My daughter hasn't lost weight."
Mu Baobao put his hands on his hips and said with a smile, "I had a good meal and ate a lot."
Mu Laosan gave a thumbs up and praised, "My daughter is awesome."
He gently patted his daughter's belly and said, "You just need to eat more so that you can grow taller and healthier."
He nodded to Mu Pingping and the other children, but didn't greet Zheng Xingguang in front of others. "Go get some water when you get back."
"It's too hot this day, you should drink more water."
After saying that, he nodded to the middle-aged man and led the children back.
Because a carriage was about to come in, Mu Laosan opened the gate and only closed the gate after letting the carriage in.
"Dad, there are so many things in the carriage." Baby Mu stretched out his claws and gestured vigorously.
Upon hearing this, Mu Laosan had a guess: could it be sent by the animals again?
"Baby, aren't you going to the party?"
Mu Baobao nodded, then shook his head. "I went to the banquet, and then went to my brother's summer resort. That's why I came back so late."
Mu Lao San understood, "Okay, I'll ask the butler to unload the things from the carriage."
The servants in the house were unaware of the baby's abilities, and the family also deliberately concealed this fact.
"Dad, we met a lot of people suffering from heatstroke on the way back." Mu Baobao frowned, "So many."
Mu Pingping took over the conversation, "Uncle San, there were five or six people who fainted on the street from heatstroke."
"I heard from people on the street that quite a few people have suffered from heatstroke in the past two days."
Mu Lao San nodded and said, "We have encountered this too."
"It's been getting hotter these past few days. Some people with poor health or who have been in the sun for too long will get heatstroke."
"Pingping, you have to pay more attention to your studies at the Imperial College and drink more water, okay?"
Mu Pingping said, "Don't worry, Third Uncle, we will pay more attention."
"Uncle San, it's so hot now, let's not do the stall business for now."
Mu Lao San said with a smile, "Your grandfather said that we won't do it for now. We'll do it after we open the shop."
He ordered the servants who came over to unload everything from the carriage.
As soon as the things were unloaded from the carriage, Mu Laosan was shocked.
In addition to a variety of mountain products and good herbs, there are also many animal furs and some dead small animals.
"This is too much."
Zheng Xingguang quickly said, "It's really a lot."
"As soon as we got on the carriage, we discovered so many things..."
"Ahem." Mu Pingping interrupted him, "Uncle San, let's go back to the main hall and sit down to talk. It's too hot standing here."
We can't let Prince Zheng continue talking, otherwise the servants in the house might find out something.
The group moved to the main hall and sat down to chat.
The servant brought cold tea.
Mu Laosan served her daughter herbal tea, while Mu Pingping and the others drank the herbal tea themselves.
"Uncle Mu, it's too hot today. Do you want me to bring you some ice?" Zheng Xingguang asked.
