Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him
Chapter 1121 The Old Man Selling Wontons
There are actually several wonton stalls in Beijing at night, but Mu Yingbao only likes the one near the East City Gate. When it's late and she's hungry, and she doesn't want to cook or bother the chef, she goes out of town to eat at that stall. The stall owner is an old man in his sixties with a sore leg. Mu Yingbao asked and found out that the old man was a soldier when he was young and was injured on the battlefield. He has a disability but is very energetic and has a good personality. He is cheerful even when business is not good. Although his clothes are patched, they are always clean.
Not only are his wontons delicious, but even the bowl, spoon, and pot for seasoning are all spotlessly clean.
The tables and chairs are old and have been repaired, and there is not a single stain on them.
Mu Yingbao once asked someone to check the old man's condition, thinking about how to help him and improve his life.
The result of the investigation was that the old man had two sons and a daughter, all of whom were married, and he lived with his wife and youngest son.
The two sons, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law, as well as grandchildren, are all very filial to the two old people.
I have persuaded him more than once not to work hard at the stall at night.
But he refused, saying that he was in good health and if he just sat there and ate for free, it might seem like a luxury, but if he wasn't careful he would become useless soon.
The children’s attempts to persuade him were fruitless, so they had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.
But when he was setting up the stall, his son and son-in-law would take turns to help him push the cart, set up the stall, and light the stove before leaving. In the middle of the night, they would come to help close the stall and take him back.
At that time, Xue Wenyu was curious about how she would help this family improve their lives. Would she teach them some tricks to get rich? Or just give them some money?
Unexpectedly, this time, Mu Yingbao did not teach anything, let alone give money. Xue Wenyu was curious and asked the reason. Mu Yingbao said that although the old man's family was not very wealthy, his children were filial and hardworking.
Lao, a harmonious family, this is the happiest family. Therefore, she doesn't want to deliberately change this family.
Because sometimes, good intentions don't always lead to good results.

Therefore, every time Mu Yingbao and his friends came to eat wontons, when paying the money, Mu Yingbao paid the required amount and never gave more.
Even so, the old man would always put a few more wontons in each bowl.
But later, they only put more in the bowls of Mu Yingbao and his wife, because Mu Yingbao ordered double portions for the people traveling with him.
After a few visits, I became very familiar with the old man.
Therefore, if he wanted to leave the palace at this time, even if he didn't tell the map, he knew to drive there directly.
When the carriage stopped, Xue Wenyu, who got off first, helped his wife get off. Then the old man came up to them happily. "Duke, the lady is here."
While welcoming the guests, he diligently wiped the two chairs beside the table with a piece of cotton cloth.
When the couple saw this action, they immediately looked at each other. Mu Yingbao saw that he was frowning and his eyes were cold, so he quickly shook his head at him.
Xue Wenyu looked at his wife and sighed helplessly.
"Would you like to have the same chicken wonton soup as usual?" the old man asked with a smile.
Xue Wenyu didn't respond, just sat there with his arms folded.
Mu Yingbao heard this and held back her laughter. "Yes, it's the same as before."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The old man responded and turned to cook the wontons.
Just as he was about to reach out to grab the wontons, he suddenly thought of something, stopped, and carefully washed his hands in a bucket beside the stall.
Seeing this, the smiles on Mu Yingbao and the others' faces became even more intense.
"My dear, it's really not easy for killers to make a living nowadays." Mu Yingbao said with emotion, and then the old man's action of putting wontons into the pot paused.
Xue Wenyu adjusted the corner of his robe casually. "It's not easy or difficult. What they do is a bloody business. When they chose this business, they knew the final outcome of this business.
If you are lucky, you can live a few more years, but if you are unlucky, your body will be incomplete and it is common for it to be left in the wilderness without anyone to collect it.
When Xue Wenyu said this, he was looking at his wife, feeling very proud. He was probably the only man in the world who doted on his wife so much!
As for Mu Yingbao, he listened with his ears but looked at the old man, and saw that he paused again.
Although Xue Wenyu saw that his wife's expression was still calm and gentle, he knew that it was not the case.
"Ha." Then she suddenly sighed. "Madam? Why are you sighing?" Xue Wenyu asked with concern. Mu Yingbao shook her head; "I just can't figure it out, husband, do you think some people have brains? Our family has encountered so many ignorant people in the past few years, but until now, aren't we still doing well?
Even if they are eager to be reincarnated, can't they find another way? Must they take our path? Is our path a shortcut to Hades' palace?
My husband, I have changed my mind now. From now on, if we meet those blind people again, we will not kill them. We will just cut off their meridians and tongues to save their lives.
Keep our eyes and ears open for them to see and hear.
After all, we should do some good deeds for the baby in our belly, right?"
After hearing this, Xue Wenyu looked at his wife speechlessly. He really didn't know what to say.
So, this will bring good luck to the children?
This is more cruel than killing someone!
"What? You don't agree?" Mu Yingbao asked seriously.
At the same time, watching the old man carrying the wontons out of the pot, his hand holding the bowl did not shake at all, and his high and low steps were as steady as before.
"Madam, please eat first. Your Excellency, please wait a moment." The old man placed the bowl of wontons in his hand on the table, then quickly turned around and went to the stove to get another bowl.
Mu Yingbao just reached out to grab the spoon when she heard the man beside her cough lightly.
I took his head and saw him shaking his head slightly.
Mu Yingbao still took the spoon and scooped up a wonton from the bowl.
The bowl containing the wontons was as clean as ever, and the wontons I touched looked and smelled the same as ever, tempting and fragrant.
"Enjoy your meal, Duke." The old man came running over and placed another bowl in front of Xue Wenyu. Then he turned around and was about to leave, returning to the stove.
"Old man, wait a minute." Mu Yingbao spoke.
The old man looked at her in confusion. "What do you want, Madam?"
"There's an oyster in this bowl. How can I eat it? Please cook another bowl."
"Enjoy your meal, Duke." The old man came running over and placed another bowl in front of Xue Wenyu. Then he turned around and was about to leave, returning to the stove.
"Old man, wait a minute." Mu Yingbao spoke.
The old man looked at her in confusion. "What do you want, Madam?"
"There's an oyster in this bowl. How can I eat it? Please cook another bowl." Mu Yingbao pointed at the bowl with a spoon and said calmly.
Fleas? Xue Wenyu next to him also looked into the bowl, and sure enough, there was a mosquito floating on the soup. Although it was very small, it was still quite obvious among the white wontons and green chopped green onions.
Good? What's going on?
Now it's not Xue Wenyu's turn to protect Yan, this mosquito...
