Skretil's Ignorance Walker

When she heard someone calling her, Mudan happily started to promote the product immediately.

"Old man, look, these are the flowers I planted myself..."

Peony worked hard to sell flowers to the old lady in front of her. This feeling made her feel as if she had returned to the time when she was in the Kingdom of Rat. At that time, she and Sunflower depended on each other for survival. They had to go to the street to sell flowers every day to make a living. Although they don't have to do this now, Peony still can't forget the hard days back then.

"Girl, do you have any bulbous irises?"

"There are some, please take a look."

Hearing the old woman's request, Mudan quickly took out a bunch of bulbous irises from the basket and handed it to the old woman.

"Okay... okay, this is what I want..."

After seeing what she wanted, the old woman nodded happily. She took the flower from Mudan and asked:

"How much is it, little girl?"

"Twenty copper coins, old man."

There are ten flowers in a bouquet, which means two copper coins for each flower, which is equivalent to two yuan. This is the price of peony in the Kingdom of Spirit Rat. She doesn't know the price here yet, so she sells it at the previous price.

"Okay... okay... here I'll give you the money..."

After hearing the price, the old woman nodded with satisfaction. She took out her wallet from her pocket with her trembling hands, and then searched for a long time before finding twenty copper coins and handed them to Mudan.

"Girl, you are not from here, right?"

Although her eyesight was a little poor, the old woman could clearly see the big ears on Peony's head. Combined with her small and cute body, she could naturally guess that she was definitely not a Faranian.

"Yes, I am from the Kingdom of Spirit Rat, and I just moved here recently. I hope you will take care of my business in the future."

"Oh...Is that so...Then little girl, you will come here to sell flowers tomorrow, right?"

The old woman nodded and continued to ask Mudan. Elderly people like this tend to talk a lot, and Mudan is used to dealing with them.

"Yes, old lady, if you still want to buy flowers tomorrow, I can come earlier."

"Okay...Okay...Then I'll trouble you to bring some more bulbous irises tomorrow."

"Ok, no problem."

The flower language of bulbous iris is longing. This old lady bought so many bulbous irises, probably because she is waiting for the person she expects.

After chatting for a few more words, Mudan successfully sent the old lady away. This was her first and only guest of the day.

Besides, it is already winter, and there are fewer people selling flowers outside. Most of the flowers there are grown with magic. But fortunately, the same is true for Peony. Her flower fields are also nourished by magic, so she doesn't have to consider the season and weather. This is much more convenient than when she was in the Kingdom of Rat.

After returning home, Mudan saw that Lu Ren seemed to be busy and guessed that she was preparing for the upcoming wedding. Although Mudan didn't even know the date yet, she wouldn't have to worry about it if Lu Ren was here to take care of it.

Lu Ren was very busy for several days, and during this period Mudan went out to sell flowers every day. The old lady also came to Mudan to buy flowers every day, and she only bought this kind of flower.

Every time after buying flowers, the old lady would chat with Peony for a long time, and every time, the old lady looked very happy. Perhaps, being able to chat with Peony for a while every day also made the old lady very happy.

During this period, Mudan's customers are no longer limited to the old woman. There are also other people coming to buy Mudan's flowers. Although the number is not large, it allows Mudan to earn about one silver coin a day, which at least allows Mudan to meet her daily expenses.

And now Peony no longer has to worry about her and Sunflower's expenses, so all the money was saved by Peony.

Another day, when the old lady came to Mudan to buy flowers, Mudan couldn't help but went forward to support her when she saw that the old lady was trembling as she walked.

"Old lady, let me take you home. Where is your home? If you need flowers in the future, I will send them directly to your house."

The old lady has been Mudan's loyal customer during this period, and she always comes alone. It is inconvenient for elderly people to go anywhere, and Mudan feels a little worried about it, so she wants to lend a hand. Anyway, selling flowers now is just to find something to do.

"Oh, no need to trouble you, I can still walk..."

"It's okay. You patronize my business every day, and this is what I should do."

In the end, the old woman couldn't persuade Mudan anymore and had to take Mudan back to her home.

It was an old house that looked a bit shabby, but fortunately it was not affected by the war. After the fall of West Island City, it remained well preserved. Perhaps it was precisely because it was a bit shabby that it escaped the looting of the Albigensians.

The interior of the house is a bit old, but it is cleaned very well and the rooms are tidy.

As soon as Mudan entered the room, she found that there were not many furnitures inside. There was only a table, a few stools and some cabinets. On the table was a vase with the bulbous irises she bought from her yesterday.

"Oh, you've worked hard, sit down for a while, I'll get you something to eat."

After arriving home, the old woman planned to entertain Mudan.

"No need, old man. Now that I've sent you home, it's time for me to go back."

Mudan declined the old woman's kindness, but was held back by her.

"Hey~~, it's still early now, just sit here for a while, just as if you were accompanying an old woman like me, okay?"

"Uh... well."

Faced with the old woman's request, Mudan hesitated for a while and then agreed. Then she sat down in the room, and the old woman went into the kitchen to get some snacks for Mudan.

At this time, Mudan began to look around and found a magic photo on one of the cabinets, which showed a young man.

"Oh, have you been waiting for a long time? Come on, have something to eat."

Soon, the old lady brought out a plate of macarons. Although they were all cheap items, they were also a token of her love.

Then the old woman poured a cup of coarse tea for Mudan and herself, and they both sat down.

"Oh, I haven't chatted with others like this for a long time..."

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible Mudan, the old lady smiled and said, Mudan could also feel that she was living alone now, and it must have been a long time since anyone had accompanied her, right?

"It's okay, old man. If you need anything in the future, I can come and chat with you."

"Oh, that's great. I'm used to being alone and it's a bit boring."

Hearing what Mudan said, the old woman seemed very happy. At this time, Mudan looked at the person in the photo and asked curiously:

"Old lady, who is that person in the photo to you?"

"that……"

Seeing Mudan talking about this, the old woman seemed to become interested instantly. Mudan could even see a glimmer of light beginning to flash in the old woman's eyes.

"He is my son. My husband died early, and my son joined the army. He is living a good life now! I heard that he has become an officer and sends me money every month. Isn't the war about to end now? He wrote to me last month saying that he might be able to come back to see me soon..."

The old woman's wrinkled face showed an expression of anticipation that could not be suppressed, and her eyes were always sparkling. She must have bought bulbous irises from Mudan every day because she hoped that her son could return soon, right?
