Chapter 359 Selling one’s body to bury one’s mother
After years of warlord melee, the ancient Xuan Kingdom finally ushered in the so-called peace.
The reason why is called peace.
The reason is that this peace is only for capital merchants and has initially established order at the national level.
However, the oppression of the people at the bottom by the big capitalists, big landowners, gangs and compradors has not stopped.
The so-called peaceful and prosperous age is just a whitewash over the dross-like ruins.
Chen Mo and Fat Brother had no choice but to leave because the Pig Cage Walled City was no longer there, walking on this street full of poor people in ragged clothes, doing nothing.
The situation here is in sharp contrast to that of Beihai Country.
Although there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in both countries, the overall development of Beihai Country is relatively good, so even the poor people at the bottom are generally doing well.
When Chen Mo came to his senses again, Fat Brother had already stopped next to a woman who was lowering her head and crying.
There was a sign placed in front of her.
"Sell yourself to bury your mother?"
Chen Mo was stunned.
Especially after noticing this woman's face, even though she was crying, her delicate and delicate face could not be concealed. No wonder the fat guy on the side couldn't help but come over to join in the fun.
Not just Fat Brother, there are people here.
Chen Mo is quite familiar with this section.
He couldn't help but glance behind the woman, at the so-called mother who died of illness. After realizing that although this mother seemed to have no breath, she still had an extremely weak heartbeat, he looked thoughtful.
I don’t know if she had some strange disease that kept her from realizing that her mother was still alive, or if the mother and daughter teamed up to deceive people and get ill-gotten gains.
"Little sister, how much do you want to bury your mother?"
The fat brother couldn't help but ask aloud with his thick accent.
After hearing this, the sobbing woman slowly raised her head and looked at the fat brother with tears in her eyes.
"My mother suffered a lot during her lifetime, and I couldn't let her live a good life until she died. So after her death, I must give her a grand burial, which will cost at least 200 yuan."
200 yuan is not a small amount for the people at the bottom of Guxuan Kingdom.
When Chen Mo and Xuanzong worked as dock workers, they only earned 1 yuan a day, and it took more than half a year to collect 200 yuan without eating or drinking.
But the actual situation is simply impossible.
Regardless of the issue of food, drink and rent, the gang's exploitation is not a small amount.
certainly.
This is not a problem for rich people with a huge gap between rich and poor. For example, the luxury hotel where Fat Brother Chen Mo lives now costs 5 yuan a day.
When Fat Brother heard this, his face suddenly burst into laughter.
"I am the person who can't bear to see someone who is in trouble and refuses to save you. I will pay you 200 yuan to bury your mother in a grand ceremony, and then I will take care of my son and stop him from being naughty. Do you think it's okay?"
When the poor people around him saw this, they couldn't help but sigh, while some others clapped their hands and applauded.
When the woman heard this, she immediately kowtowed.
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness. You are such a good person. As long as my mother can be buried with dignity, I will do anything for you."
"Haha, haha, haha!"
The fat brother smiled honestly and heartily amidst the applause of the audience, and kept raising his hands in gestures.
Chen Mo, who was standing next to him, suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed a dirty little hand. This little hand was reaching into the fat brother's pocket, and he was completely unaware of it.
The child, who was sallow and skinny, looked terrified.
Chen Mo snorted coldly, glanced around, and handed him fifty cents, signaling him not to come again.
The frightened little boy looked surprised and confused.
He took a deep look at Chen Mo, bowed, and disappeared into the crowd.
Two minutes later.
Fat Brother gave his address to the girl who sold her body to bury her mother, and handed her 200 yuan. Chen Mo sighed.
"I think you were probably deceived by her."
When Fat Brother heard this, he looked suspicious.
"No way?"
He stopped and looked in the direction where the girl disappeared.
Fat Brother is not an idiot, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He seemed to be obsessed with lust for a moment, and was deceived by the other party, and he suddenly showed an angry look.
"I am the most honest person. I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. But if someone offends me, I will make him a prisoner. It just so happened that I made an appointment with the police chief for dinner tonight. If she doesn't come back by then, I will make her a wanted person.
she!"
Chen Mo rolled his eyes when he heard this.
This guy has lived in Beihai Kingdom for a long time and has not yet fully adapted to life in Guxuan Kingdom.
"Let's do this. You call a rickshaw and be careful on the road. I'll keep an eye on them and get the money back then."
"That's fine. Brother, you can do your work. Brother, I am most at ease. Come back early for dinner, and I will introduce the director to you."
The fat guy seemed a little guilty.
After he stopped a rickshaw, he did not forget to remind him.
"If there is no news, it doesn't matter. Don't tell my wife when you come back. My wife likes to have random thoughts. You also know that I am a warm-hearted person. I just helped her out of good intentions. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her.
Think about it."
Seeing him patting his chest and looking serious, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel funny and quickly waved to him.
Seeing this, Fat Brother couldn't help but smile and signaled the rickshaw master to leave.
…
Half an hour later.
In a slum, the woman dragged her mother back after hard work.
Her mother, who had died of illness, suddenly sat up on the bed.
"Hurry up and get a glass of water. After waiting for a long time, I finally found a fool. I'm almost dying of thirst. Girl, tell me, have you become ugly recently? Why can't you catch rich people?"
"It's not your fault!"
Originally a girl with pear blossoms and rain, she became quite smart and delicate after tidying up.
"We have deceived other neighborhoods, and I have to go to this street. The people here are as poor as us. You want me to deceive ghosts?"
At this time.
A figure slowly appeared and stood at the door of the house. It was Chen Mo who had been following him for a long time. He looked at his mother who had died of illness and was drinking water.
"I have never heard that dead people drink water."
When my mother heard this, she looked stunned.
The daughter on the side reacted immediately and her expression changed drastically.
"He is the bodyguard next to that person just now!"
The mother's expression changed, and she immediately jumped up from the bed, stood with the girl, and assumed a fighting posture towards Chen Mo.
Although the two people's moves looked like they had noses and eyes, in Chen Mo's eyes, they were no different from using fancy fists and embroidered legs.
These two people and Chen Mo can be said to be completely opposite.
Regarding the profession of martial arts master, Chen Mo only practiced internal skills but did not practice moves. However, these two people only practiced moves but did not practice internal skills.
"Girl, attack him three ways!"
Say it.
The two formed a cooperation and launched an attack on Chen Mo.
The so-called three ways refer to the eyes, ears, and nose respectively, but because the girl's physical fitness is not high, for Chen Mo, the attack is just like scratching an itch.
As for this mother, the lower three routes of attack are the heart, abdomen, and vagina.
Although his punching speed is not slow, he seems to have consciously avoided his own vital points. To Chen Mo, it is equivalent to the cat punch.
"Stop playing."
After a simple exchange of moves, Chen Mo grabbed one with one hand and threw it on the bed.
When the two women saw this, they instinctively covered their bodies with a look of fear on their faces, fearing that Chen Mo would do something wrong.
Chen Mo rolled his eyes.
"My boss is a good man. He just came back from abroad. I hope you are not a vicious person. If you return his money, this matter will be over."
When the two women saw this, they immediately looked sad.
The girl pouted and said, "Rich people say they are good people."
The mother also showed a sad look, knowing that Chen Mo was not a bad person, and sighed.
"You took all the money away, so we can talk better, but what about the children?"
"child?"
When Chen Mo heard this, he couldn't help but look out of the room, only to see big, sallow-looking heads sticking out from all corners, looking at him timidly.
"uncle."
A little boy held a crumpled fifty cents, with a look of surprise, shame and gratitude on his face and said: "Thank you, you are a good person."
"Xiao Li, come here quickly."
The girl seemed a little worried that Chen Mo would hurt the little boy, so she hurriedly called him over. It was not until the little boy informed Chen Mo that she showed a look of surprise and looked at Chen Mo up and down.
This made Chen Mo frown slightly.
"What's going on?"
well.
The mother sighed.
"These are the orphans left behind in the Pig Cage Walled City. Their parents died in that chaos. I thought they were pitiful, so I took them in."
"Orphans from Pig Cage Walled City?"
In Chen Mo's shock, she told what happened half a year ago.
"Six months ago, people from Tianxing Sect came to Zhulong Walled City to hunt down a man named Gao Bo, asking him to hand over a secret book called "Three Examinations of My Body". I heard that he was hiding incognito in Zhulong Walled City.
For many years, I disguised myself as a lame man and sold steamed buns in the Pig Cage Walled City..."
When Chen Mo heard this, his face became solemn.
That lame man selling steamed buns turned out to be a hidden master of transformation. It was indeed incredible.
"What happened next?"
"Later, Gao Bo showed up. He tried his best to persuade him, saying that "Three Examinations of My Body" would bring endless disasters. It was because of these powerful mental methods that the Great Xuan Kingdom was devastated. However, the people of Tianxing Sect did not listen to the advice, and both sides
During the war, the Pig Cage Walled City was destroyed in the battle."
"well."
When Chen Mo heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
As for Tianxingmen.
It's hard for Chen Mo to judge what this sect is doing. There is a high probability that it is an extremist organization similar to the Beehive.
"What happens next?"
"Later... I heard that Gao Bo fell into madness because his wife and children were killed, and he started killing local gangs controlled by Tianxing Sect. Until the head of Tianxing Sect came to the Nightless City in person, Gao Bo was forced by Tianxing Sect.
Take it away, there is no news."
When Chen Mo heard this, he looked disappointed.
He suddenly thought of something again and shouted outside: "Who is Tao Lan's child?"
Seeing no one answered, Chen Mo asked three times in a row before a little girl came out timidly.
As expected, Chen Mo saw the shadow of Xiao Lan on her body.
"Your mother is a good person."
Then he raised his arms and signaled loudly: "I'm here to treat you to lunch today. All the children come with me. I'll treat everyone to a full meal!"
