Chapter 135 - Meeting an Important Person (8)
The man sized her up and opened the door completely. “If you have something to say, come in and say it.”
“Okay.” Mo Chu nodded and stepped into the slightly dilapidated door. The scenery in the room made her stunned. The old furnishings and the courtyard filled with miscellaneous items could not be compared to the bustling houses in the city. Even compared to the ordinary buildings in the 21st century, it was still a little lacking.
“The house is a little messy and I didn’t have time to clean it up.” Seeing the surprise in Mo Chu’s eyes, the man smiled embarrassedly. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more obvious.
“Little girl, What’s the matter?” He took out a relatively clean and tidy chair and handed it to Mo Chu. The man sat on a big rock.
“Umm, can I... buy some food from you?” Mo Chu took out 100 Federal Coins and asked softly.
The man frowned in embarrassment. “Well... I’m sorry. It’s difficult to buy supplies here. Every time I go to the city, I will buy an appropriate amount of things back. I really don’t have much to sell to you.”
“Ah–” so that was the case! Mo Chu nodded and licked her lips. “Then thank you!”
Mo Chu stood up and was about to leave when her gaze fell on the pile of junk in the middle of the courtyard. Suddenly, her eyes lit up! Eh? That’s a Milk Tree, right?
Mo Chu walked a few steps quickly and picked out a Milk Tree that was mixed in the junk. That’s right! “Excuse me, where did you find this?”
“Oh, that...” the man pointed outside. “It’s in a corner at the back of the mountain. There’s a large area there. Do you want it?”
Mo Chu nodded excitedly. It was really a waste of time and effort to find it! “Can you take me to look for it?”
The man laughed heartily. “Of course, follow me!”
