Chapter 20 Human Life
"Mom, is this world very chaotic?" At night, Chen Mo said goodbye to a group of friends and returned home. When he was having dinner, he couldn't help asking his mother. Chen Mo always felt a little bored about what he was saying during the day and couldn't tell the reason.
"Why would my son ask this?" Chen's mother looked at her son and said in confusion.
"Li Zheng Aweng said, the world is getting more and more chaotic, but I think it seems to be no different from before." Chen Mo frowned.
"I'll know when you go out a few more times." Chen's mother sighed when she heard this, not knowing how to explain.
When Chen Mo heard this, he thought that the last time he went to Xiaqiu City, if it weren't for his cleverness and Uncle Wang appeared in time, he might have been sold. And he encountered bandits on the way back. Although he took the initiative to find them, it also shows that these dangers are actually not far from their small place.
"What happens if the world is in chaos?" Chen Mo looked at his mother and said curiously.
"Yes..." Chen's mother didn't know how to explain it for a moment. After all, the troubled times are a bit far away for them and their son. Not to mention Chen Mo, even Chen's mother had never experienced the real troubled times. She thought for a while and said, "The people have no land to farm, and wars are everywhere... probably that's the case."
War?
Chen Mo felt a little excited. He had thought before that if he wanted to enter the career of officialdom, he seemed to have to take the path of making achievements. If wars really broke out, he might have more opportunities, but Chen Mo didn't know how to seize this opportunity. All he could think of now was to practice his skills, but Chen Mo actually didn't have a clear concept of what he would do in the future.
"Mom, have you ever had troubled times before?" Chen Mo asked suddenly. In his world, he had only been to Xiaqiu at the farthest. As for history, Chen Mo had no idea. Many things seemed to be like this.
"Of course there are. About four hundred years ago, Qin lost the hearts of the people, rebels from all over the country rose up everywhere, and wars were fought everywhere. In the end, my Emperor Gaozu of Han defeated King Xiang Yu of Chu and won the world. Later, Wang Mang was in chaos, and the whole world was in vain." Chen's mother thought for a while and said.
"Mom, can you tell me in detail?" Chen Mo became energetic and pestered his mother to hear the stories of these heroes in troubled times.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Chen's mother looked at Chen Mo with some pamperingness. Chen Mo rarely showed such a coquettish expression and tone. However, although Chen's mother had read some books, she didn't have many things. In fact, they were all heard from others and could not be accurate. Moreover, Chen's mother really did not have much talent for telling stories. In just a while, Chen Mo was already drowsy and could not be energetic.
"Mo'er, I'm tired for a day, so I'll go and rest first. I'll tell you these things later." Perhaps it felt that the story she told was not attractive, Chen's mother helped to wake Chen Mo up and asked him to go back to the house to sleep.
"Oh~" Chen Mo agreed, and returned to his room staggeringly. After worshiping the gods as usual, he fell asleep. Although Dalang took care of the fields these days, he was not relaxed. He not only had to make manure with a group of little guys every day, but also stood in a stance and practiced sticks in his spare time. In addition, the young man was sleepy, so he fell asleep directly after falling to the ground.
That night, Chen Mo had a dream, dreaming that the world was in chaos, and he joined the army to quell the rebellion. He soon gained the appreciation of Shangguan, and became a general, glorious family, and made the Chen family a great Xiaqiu family.
This dream was a bit long, so when I woke up early the next morning, I felt like I was a different world.
"Brother Ergou, Brother Ergou!" Before he could wash up, he saw Adu rushing in with a hurricane look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Chen Mo looked at Adu in confusion.
"Uncle Wang is back, and Uncle Cai is also back together, but Uncle Cai seems to be unable to do it." Aduo said in a panic.
"Take me there quickly, where is Uncle Wang?" Chen Mo didn't bother to eat, grabbed a bread and went to the outer robe and asked.
"Uncle Wang was also injured, but it seemed nothing serious." Aduo shook his head and said.
"Mom, I'll go out." Chen Mo shouted to his mother without looking back, and then followed Adu to Uncle Cai's house.
Many people have gathered in Uncle Cai’s house. Aunt Cai’s heart-wrenching cry can be heard from a distance. Uncle Wang is here. Chen Mo relied on his short body and flexibly got into the crowd. He saw Uncle Cai lying on a frame, and Aunt Wang was lying on Uncle Cai and cried miserably.
This was the first time Chen Mo had seen someone dead. The atmosphere at the scene was so depressing that it made Chen Mo feel like crying. Although he didn't know why he was crying, Uncle Cai's son A Dai stood there with a snot hanging and looked at his father's body without much sadness.
"You give my husband back, and I give me back!" Suddenly, just as Chen Mo was wondering why he wanted to cry, Aunt Cai suddenly rushed towards Uncle Wang like crazy, and fought against Uncle Wang hard. Her crazy look scared Chen Mo. This was the first time he saw a woman so fierce.
Uncle Wang stood silently and let the other party tear him. The wound on his shoulder kept bleeding, but Uncle Wang didn't move.
Chen Mo didn't know where the strength came from, so he rushed out and pushed Aunt Cai away with force: "Uncle Wang is also injured!"
I don’t know if it was because Chen Mo was very strong or Aunt Cai’s failure to stand firm, but this hand actually pushed Aunt Cai away.
Ah Dai ran over to support his mother, looked at Chen Mo blankly for a while, and suddenly pinched the snot under his nose and threw it on Chen Mo with some anger.
"You dare to push me if you have a little beast who is born without a father!" Aunt Cai rushed to Chen Mo like crazy.
The almost twisted look shocked Chen Mo and sat on the ground.
"Enough!" Li Zheng Aweng slapped on the ground with a crutch and shouted: "Everyone is not feeling well about Lao Cai, but this time he was bandits, he can't blame Lao Wang. It's not easy for him to escape and bring Lao Cai back."
"But...but..." Aunt Cai's face kept falling tears, and finally she hugged Ah Dai and sobbed quietly.
"Oh~" Li Zheng'er sighed and looked at Uncle Wang: "You can take Ergou back first."
"Yes." Uncle Wang didn't look good. After responding in a slut, he left the crowd with Chen Mo, who looked confused.
"Uncle Wang, is Uncle Cai really dead?" After leaving the crowd for a while, Chen Mo finally couldn't help asking. Until now, he still couldn't accept the original living person. He would talk to him with a smile not long ago, but why did he suddenly disappear?
"Human life is very fragile." Uncle Wang nodded silently and did not say much. Chen Mo actually wanted to ask Uncle Cai how he died, but for some reason, he couldn't speak.
