Chapter 365: Helping Nan do harm
The cat also jumped off the coffee table at this time, and looked closely at the wood carving. It gradually opened its eyes, and then looked at Mr. Wu, his eyes seemed to be able to speak.
Mr. Wu looked at the cat, and then looked at his work carefully. Judging from his expression, he was extremely satisfied.
"Mr. Wu is worthy of being the president of the Wood Sculpture Association. This wooden cat is so vividly carved." Li Mu couldn't help but praise.
"When I first watched your live broadcast, I was attracted by your cat."
Only then did Mr. Wu notice Li Mu behind him, turned around and said, "I also tried to carve her when I was in the capital, but I always almost felt it. Today I saw her with my own eyes and felt her charm, and I unknowingly... Done in one go.”
After a pause, he looked at the cat again, his tone full of surprise: "Your cat is really extraordinary. Just now I couldn't help but pick up the wood and start carving her. When she found out, she jumped on the tea table. She sat very still, as if she knew I was carving her. I always felt that she was very human, not like a cat, but more like a human being.”
"She is very smart." Li Mu said, "Plus she follows me every day, so she may have learned some people's habits."
Seeing what Mr. Wu wanted to ask, Brother Nan on the side reached out to pick up the wooden cat and changed the subject: "Old man, can I take this wooden cat away?"
"Ah? Take it away? Okay, you can take it away." The old man stared at the statue in her hand with a look of reluctance.
"Brother Nan is joking with you."
Li Mu looked at the yogurt beside him, and then at Mr. Wu. It could be heard from his tone that he loved this work very much, so he said with a smile, "I already have yogurt around me, and this yogurt statue is just like this." Leave it to Mr. Wu as a souvenir.”
"I want it! I want it!"
Mr. Wu nodded repeatedly and quickly took the wooden cat statue from Brother Nan's hand carefully, "Your boyfriend said, leave the wooden cat to me."
As if he was afraid that Brother Nan wouldn't give it to him, the old man spoke in anxious dialect.
6pm.
Li Mu and Brother Nan were sitting in the shop, each taking a seat at the Eight Immortals table, looking at the menu on the wall and considering their order.
"Three pounds of mutton, two pounds of haggis, plus a portion of sheep blood and a portion of baby cabbage." Brother Nan said.
"You two can't eat so much," the boss said.
"Three people."
"I can't eat even three."
“Pack it back and feed it to your parents.”
"Oh, that's okay."
Not long after, Li Qinran walked in from the door. She sat down naturally and held the yogurt on the table in her arms: "Have you ordered?"
"It's finished." Li Mu nodded.
"How's it going? Has Mr. Wu accepted you as his apprentice?"
"No." Li Mu shook his head, "But we made an appointment. I will go to his house tomorrow."
"Why do you still want to go?"
"Your brother is so talented, and since the old man is old, he also wants someone to talk to him."
Brother Nan said, "You don't know, at about five o'clock, his wife came back and picked up a bag of bottles. When he saw us, he threw down the bottles and called the nanny to go out to buy chicken and meat. Li Mu and I We wanted to leave quickly, and the old couple had to worry about it so late at night. Unfortunately, we couldn’t refuse, so we said we would go tomorrow and have dinner together at their house in the morning.”
“So enthusiastic.”
The three of them chatted, and after a while, mutton soup was served.
Brother Nan distributed chopsticks to the two of them and helped them ladle the soup: "Try it quickly. Brother Ben Nan has personally tested that this is the most delicious mutton soup in the whole province."
Li Mu first picked up a piece of mutton, let it cool and put it in Cat's bowl, and then picked up another piece.
The taste is delicate and delicious, and you don’t feel bad even if you eat it like this.
Then dip it in the dipping dish that comes with you, and the taste will immediately become mellow and rich, which is already considered delicious.
“Delicious!”
Then he scooped up another small spoonful of soup, blew it to cool down and took a tentative sip. Suddenly, the whole tip of his tongue was filled with the delicious taste of mutton soup. This taste spread all the way from the tip of the tongue to the base of the tongue, with a huge span, which surprised him a little.
“Delicious!”
Facts always prove that eating with Brother Nan is right.
"It tastes good!" Li Qinran nodded repeatedly.
"It tastes better with some green onions."
"Mud Mu."
After the cat finished eating a piece of mutton, he turned around and looked around, calling him softly.
"What's wrong?"
"Why is there a cat in that piece of wood?" Mao'er was still thinking about the wooden cat carved by Mr. Wu just now.
Li Mu was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled.
"Do you know, Mr. Yoghurt, that if Mr. Wu heard what you just said, he would be very happy."
"Why meow?"
"Because your words are better than most praises in the world."
“I don’t understand~”
"Eat mutton."
"Well! You eat too! Eat more meat!" "Okay."
In the end, the three of them ate enough for five people, and the look in the boss's eyes made him remember them deeply.
The next morning.
Li Mu and Brother Nan came to Mr. Wu's courtyard again.
Mr. Wu's wife did not go out and was waiting for them at home. Not long after the two arrived, they went to kill chickens and prepare lunch with the nanny.
The enthusiastic Li Mu was a little embarrassed.
Brother Nan was still calm, sitting on the sofa in the living room with a majestic look, and raised his eyebrows at Mr. Wu: "Kill a plate?"
"Yes! I don't believe you can't do it!"
Mr. Wu immediately happily took out a wooden box from under the coffee table. When he opened it, he found a pair of rosewood chess pieces, which he carved by himself.
After taking the chessboard and placing it on the coffee table, the two began to place the chess pieces.
Afterwards, Brother Nan took out his mobile phone: "Come on, you first."

Li Mu quietly glanced at Brother Nan's phone screen and was speechless.
There is also a chessboard of the Chu, He and Han realms on the screen of her mobile phone.
Ten minutes later.
Brother Nan was holding his cell phone and staring at the chessboard with a very proud look on his face, his hair standing tall on his head.
Mr. Wu frowned in deep thought and kept inhaling.
"I saved another Populus euphratica today." Seeing that the old man was hesitant, Brother Nan turned to speak to Li Mu.
"What an ant forest?"
"Yes!"
"I seem to have planted a Haloxylon ammodendron tree."
"Hey! You have the nerve to bring out the Haloxylon ammodendron tree?" Brother Nan was very disdainful, "At least I started with Platycladus arborvitae!"
"Nothing compared to you."
"Xiao Li, if you are bored, go ahead and carve. Use whatever wood you like. I will come after I finish the game." Mr. Wu said.
"Okay."
"He has to take two hours." Brother Nan glanced at Mr. Wu and took a step. She also took a step on her mobile phone, and then took another step according to the movement of the human and machine.
"."
Li Mu really couldn't see Brother Nan bullying the old man, so he got up and walked aside, took a carving knife and wood and started carving.
Mr. Wu is already very old. I heard from Brother Nan that he has reached the retirement age long ago. However, his skills are good and he has mastered the four major wood carvings. He can be called a living textbook. Therefore, he has always wanted to retire but could not quit.
At this time, the gray-haired old man was staring at the chessboard intently, with a thoughtful look on his face, and his brows were furrowed, which made Li Mu feel a little unbearable.
While thinking, he murmured slightly:
"Hiss~"
"Oops"
"You made this move. Should I make this move?"
"No, no, your horses and cannon are watching"
"Leave like this? Just leave like this!"
"Ruonan, it's your turn!"
"General!" A slight female voice came from Brother Nan's mobile phone. She calmly turned down the volume and raised her eyes.
Mr. Wu seemed not to have heard anything and was still looking at the chessboard seriously.
"General!" Brother Nan picked up a chess piece and slapped it on the chessboard.
"Alas"
The old man stared at the chessboard for a long time, looking everywhere. Finally he straightened up, clapped his hands and spread them out: "I lost to you again. Did you become a famous teacher?"
"Hehe." Brother Nan snickered and turned to look at Li Mu, who immediately received a look from Li Mu.
But she just thought this was Li Mu's strange way of expressing love, so she still smiled and winked at him, "Am I awesome?"
"."
"Huh?"
"Awesome."
After Li Mu finished speaking, he lowered his head deeply. He rubbed the diagonal knife in his hand and made a slight rustling sound. It had an indescribable healing feeling and could wash away the debt he felt towards Mr. Wu in his heart——
It wasn't that he was helping Nan to do harm, he was just protecting himself wisely.
