Chapter 7 Bandit

Chen Mo's work was done, but Li Zheng and his team had not yet. Compared with Chen Mo, Li Zheng and his team not only had to sell the fur he brought, but also had to buy a lot of things. Money is actually not very useful in the countryside. In addition to salt, cloth and some necessities such as daily necessities, they can basically be self-sufficient. Even if there is a need, as long as it is not a disaster year, neighbors can exchange and make up for each other.

Of course, the premise is to have a good year. If there is a disaster year, it will be a disaster for ordinary people like them.

Chen Mo only heard of these truths. He had not experienced the real disaster year, but had only heard of the horror of the disaster year, but he had never seen it. Although he was a little envious of the prosperity of this county town, if he wanted to choose, he would still be willing to plant it in his small place, at least with fields, and feel at ease.

At noon, the two had a meal at an inn on West Street and spent 30 yuan. Chen Mo felt that Uncle Wang had saved his life and should have invited this meal by himself no matter what. He settled the bill with some distress.

Thirty dollars, if they were placed in the village, the current price would be enough for them to eat for three days, but now there was only one meal. Chen Mo swears in his heart that he would never come to the inn to have dinner again in his life.

Uncle Wang didn't stop him, especially looking at Chen Mo's face with ache but still insisting on paying the bill. He was a little funny and inexplicably sighed that a sensible child could easily attract favors.

Unfortunately, I was born in the wrong child. If this child could be born in a wealthy family, maybe I could do something in the future?

"Ergou." Seeing Chen Mo sitting back and drinking water silently, Uncle Wang suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about what to do in the future?"

"From the future?" Chen Mo thought for a while and said, "After this autumn harvest, I want to build a few acres of land, hire two tenant farmers, raise some chickens, and then..."

"I said it's the future, you can grow up a little longer." Uncle Wang smiled and shook his head.

Although Uncle Wang is rough, he will inexplicably feel relieved when he smiles.

"In the future?" Chen Mo was a little confused. In his perception, the future... may not be much different from now. At most, I can buy more land. If I can buy hundreds of acres of fertile land in this life, Chen Mo felt that he would be very powerful in this life, but he would always feel a little regretful.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Mo suddenly said, "I want to read."

Uncle Wang was silent when he heard this. Studying was too luxurious for people like their background. In these days, as long as they were able to read, even if they could not become officials, they could live well in the yamen office, as a three elder or a regular official. If they had the luck to become a county magistrate, it would definitely be something that the ancestors would not dare to think about for people like them.

The most important thing is that they have no chance of getting involved in books with such backgrounds. Even if they give you a book, someone will have to teach you?

Scholars are superior people, and they cannot be hired by money. Moreover, scholars attach great importance to family backgrounds. What should ordinary people use to teach them? The reputation of the manure man?

Uncle Wang looked at Chen Mo's shiny eyes and felt a little confused. For people like them, they might not have the chance to study for the rest of their lives.

"Is it difficult?" Chen Mo couldn't help asking when he saw Uncle Wang not speaking.

It's not just difficult, it's basically impossible.

Uncle Wang nodded with a wry smile. He didn't know how to tell the child. Seeing that Chen Mo was going to ask questions, he quickly turned on the topic and said, "Then why do you want to practice martial arts again?"

Chen Mo scratched his head. He didn't know how to explain the existence of gods. He would learn things quickly: "I thought it would be difficult to study, but if he could practice martial arts and make contributions to the country in the future, it might be easier."

This is a path, but it is also bumpy.

Uncle Wang nodded when he heard this. He didn't want to undermine Chen Mo's enthusiasm and asked, "As for this reason, are you going to join the army? This road is not easy to walk."

In Uncle Wang's opinion, this road is actually slim. Not to mention that the Han Dynasty is now very strict in recruiting troops, even if it joins the army, how many Han Dynasty can really make its mark in the end?

"I haven't thought about it yet, I have to ask my mother what she means, but there is no hurry. I asked Ahweng, now the Han Dynasty's recruitment will take thirteen years old, and there will be four years left." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Too.

Uncle Wang nodded and said nothing more. In his opinion, this may be the momentary heart-warming of the child. When he gets older, the oppression of survival may allow him to see the reality clearly, eliminate these unrealistic fantasies, farm honestly, manage the land for his whole life, and buy some land for his juniors. After three generations, he may have the opportunity to study.

At the end of the time, Li was taking Uncle Cai and the other four back in a donkey cart. Chen Mo was still a child's character after all. After all, the dullness before was wiped out and he happily met him.

There is more stuff in the donkey cart than when I came.

"All done?" Li was touching Chen Mo's head.

"Well, thanks to Uncle Wang." Chen Mo actually wanted to tell the story of the previous incident. He thought Uncle Wang was very handsome at that time, but Uncle Wang didn't let him say it, although he didn't know why.

"That's good." Li Zheng nodded and called everyone to drive the donkey cart out of the city.

On the way home, Chen Mo felt that everyone was a little nervous and not as relaxed as they came, which made Chen Mo very puzzled. But why? In such an atmosphere, Chen Mo didn't dare to speak. It felt as if the sky would fall as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Uncle Wang, isn't this wrong way?" Chen Mo approached Uncle Wang and reached out to poke Uncle Wang. He remembered that the road would not go around the mountain.

"Yes, there are still some things to do." Uncle Wang shook his head and whispered: "No matter what you encounter, don't make a sound, just look at it."

"Oh~" Chen Mo nodded a little confusedly, feeling what Uncle Wang meant, would he say something would happen in a while?

Xiaqiu is close to Huai River, with waterways and few mountains, but there are still some. They met a group of people on the road, with only four, but each of them were very fierce, and gave Chen Mo the feeling that it looked like the dog in the middle-class family was not familiar with him, and it seemed that he had never met Uncle Wang and Zheng Tu before.

"Have you brought something?" A dark-skinned man glanced at Chen Mo and said, "Why are you still bringing a child?"

"He is going to come here too. This child is sensible. Maybe he will come to this road in the future." Li Zheng looked around and then waved to Uncle Cai.

Uncle Cai and three other township heroes unloaded several bags from the car and sent them to the other side.

"There's all here, look."

The two sides seemed to be trading. Chen Mo didn't understand why he didn't go to the city. He took a few secret glances. Not only did the bag contain meat, salt, and even a few knives.

Until the transaction was completed and after leaving, Chen Mo obviously felt everyone relieved, and the atmosphere was not as depressing as it was at the beginning. At this time, he came to Uncle Wang and asked quietly: "Uncle Wang, who are those people?"

Uncle Wang was silent for a while before speaking: "Bandits! Don't talk to your mother about this, otherwise you won't think about coming out with us in the future."

These two words made Chen Mo feel confused all the way, and until he returned to the middle, his legs still felt a little shaking...
