Seeing that he didn't answer, Yan Yu asked weakly again.
"Chen Mo, Chen Pi's Chen, Mo Lu's Mo."
Chen Mo said calmly.
"Chen Mo, Chen Mo, silence." Yan Yu recited it himself, thinking in his heart: It is indeed quite silent. As he thought about it, he laughed softly.
"What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing. I remembered a sentence my father once read. He was silent and liked everyone."
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Mo has never read a book, but he is taciturn. What's so nice about that?
"In ancient times, there was a Liang family, a native of Jing'an, who was given to the market by Shengdou. He had hip strength and could roll gold hooks. He was taciturn and was well liked by everyone. He moved to the city as a favor."
Xiao Yanyu recounted a series of unspeakable humanistic deeds, moistened his throat, and explained: "In ancient times, there was a man named Liang who lived in Jing'an and made a living by selling a small amount of wine and food in the market. He had strong arms and could handle food.
He can bend gold bars and straighten iron hooks. He is taciturn and everyone likes him. He has been promoted many times and has reached the position of general."
"Where did you learn that?"
Chen Mo listened to her talk for a long time, not caring what she said at all, but he was a little curious that she knew so much.
"Whatever my father said casually, I listened casually."
It seemed that her small village was not a place for ordinary people to hide from the world, but a family of nobles. It was a pity that they tried to avoid it, but in the end they were wiped out.
Chen Mo was thinking about things in her village, while Xiao Yanyu was thinking about other things.
Chen Mo is taciturn, Chen Mo is taciturn, Chen Mo is taciturn, isn't he hanging on Chen Mo?
After thinking about it, Xiao Yanyu laughed again, and his two little feet swayed slightly.
.....
"Chen Mo, aren't you hungry?"
"Not hungry."
"...."
Not long after, they appeared in a forest. Xiao Yanyu picked some wild fruits, and Chen Mo hunted a rabbit.
At this time, Xiao Yanyu discovered that Chen Mo was as agile as a leopard. No hunter in the village was as skilled as Chen Mo before. Yan Yu's understanding of Chen Mo was limited to the glimpse he had when he broke through the window, and then
That night, Chen Mo brought back a wolf from hunting. Even then, she didn't see Chen Mo's ability with her own eyes.
Dinner was in order, and they no longer had to be hungry. The two of them seemed to have returned to the days when they were in the mountains and forests. Chen Mo still seldom spoke, and Xiao Yanyu only occasionally said a few words during the day. At night, Chen Mo
They would meditate there quietly and ignore Xiao Yanyu at all.
Two or three days later, Xiao Yanyu's feet were finally able to walk. Chen Mo stopped carrying her and let her follow. Her illness also healed, which Chen Mo did not expect.
The two of them were like brothers and sisters in distress, walking along the long official road.
After walking for another seven or eight days, they saw the city for the first time. Many people gathered at the city gate, but the huge city gate was not opened. Some soldiers stood on the city wall with crossbows, observing.
Looking at the refugees under the city wall, if there was any riot, Chen Mo believed that they would raise their crossbows and shoot the rioters.
Chen Mo watched indifferently from a distance.
"Pingcheng."
Chen Mo read the two big characters on the city gate, and then thought about some things. Now that he saw the city, he should be able to determine their location. After all, Chen Mo paid great attention to the map during these years on the border of Xia Kingdom.
, I looked at many maps through various methods.
"That's the city?"
Xiao Yanyu pulled Chen Mo's sleeve, stood on tiptoes, and looked around, as if he wanted to see what was behind the tall wall called the city wall. A child who grew up in the mountains, of course, is familiar with everything in the outside world.
curious.
"Why doesn't that big wooden door open to let those people in?"
Chen Mo did not answer Xiao Yanyu's question, but just watched quietly. His mind finally found some information about Pingcheng, and roughly determined his location.
"gone."
"Aren't we going in?"
Xiao Yanyu followed Chen Mo closely, and was a little confused about Chen Mo not taking him into the city. She heard her father say that there were many big houses and a lot of delicious food in the city, so why not go into the city?
Chen Mo didn't answer her, so she could only follow.
The two of them went south along the official road again. According to Chen Mo's plan, if they walked south for a while, they could go east. If they go east now, they will pass many big cities and see many people. They are like this
Refugee appearance can cause unnecessary trouble.
One is a big slovenly, and the other is a little sloppy, like wanderers without purpose. If they are given a broken porcelain bowl and a bamboo stick, they will be no different from beggars.
After leaving the Yunling Mountains, for a month, they followed the traces of refugees heading south. They saw a lot of people who fell ill and were exhausted. At first, Xiao Yanyu wanted to help out of good intentions, but he found that nothing could be done.
Unable to do it, Chen Mo ignored Chen Mo because of his ability, which made the two people who had a somewhat relaxed relationship gradually become strangers to each other again.
He had seen two or three cities, and Chen Mo had also seen real indifference. Faced with the large number of refugees, no city was willing to take in these people, not even those who did good deeds.
Chen Mo just looked at it like this. He was not in a hurry. Master said: rushing is just for the purpose, but you should also look at the scenery along the way. No matter good or bad, at least when you die, you will not feel that you have come to this world.
Once.
Of course, the half-hearted master also said: Although the scenery is good, it is best to have a wife who is a good match, and it is not unfair to do so.
One night, Xiao Yanyu, who had not spoken to Chen Mo for a long time, finally spoke.
"Why?"
Chen Mo knew she was asking why, but he didn't answer her, and he didn't know why he should answer her.
Seeing that Chen Mo ignored her, she sat across from him and looked directly at him.
"You can obviously save those people, why not?"
"How are you sure I can save them?"
"You can save me when I'm sick, and of course you can save them too." Xiao Yanyu said matter-of-factly.
Chen Mo ignored this childish remark. He couldn't explain it to her, so he could only answer her silently.
Another night without answers.
Perhaps because they arrived in the south of Chu State, or perhaps because the war in the north was far away, many people who had no relatives or friends to take them began to look for a place to stay. Perhaps after five or six years, there were more unknown people.
A small village appeared in this place.
This is the fate of the people at the bottom. Their requirements are not high, as long as they can survive.
There are fewer and fewer people on the road. This may be a good sign. On the bright side, those people have started their own new lives. But behind this new life, how many people have died, and what Xiao Yanyu saw
Just the tip of the iceberg.
The two of them were no longer walking on the official road. They were far away from the official road to the north. There were obviously more carriages and horses from officials and officials. They would not take lowly refugees like them seriously. If they were hit by a carriage, they would be killed.
, so the refugees also stayed away from the official road and looked for other roads.
The two came to the bank of a clear river to replenish the water in the water bag. Xiao Yanyu washed her dirty cheeks. She had not bathed for many days. From the clear water, she could see that she was sloppy.
She looked like she wanted to take a bath, but Chen Mo would not give her time to take a bath. It seemed that Chen Mo had forgotten that she needed to take a bath, or so she thought.
Chen Mo soaked the water bag in the water and waited for the river water to fill him up. He also saw his sloppy appearance in the reflection, and then looked at Xiao Yanyu who kept a distance from him during this period, watching her look in trance.
The reflection in the water probably guessed something.
Just as he was about to say something, Chen Mo suddenly tensed up, and an inexplicable sense of danger came from behind him.
As soon as his hand touched the handle of the knife on his waist, a thunderous sound exploded on the river in front of him, causing a huge splash of water.
Chen Mo's first reaction was to look at Xiao Yanyu and saw that she was just splashed by a huge water splash and collapsed to the ground. There was nothing serious.
As for me, because I was close to the explosion, I was splashed all over by the water. I didn't have time to wipe off the water stains on my face. I squinted and saw a figure sliding far away on the river surface, and then he pushed hard with one foot.
Stepping on it, the whole person flew away towards the other side of the river lightly, leaving behind a hearty laugh: "Dear fairies and young heroes, thank you for sending me a certain journey. The mountains and rivers will not change, we will see you later, hahaha."
As soon as the figure disappeared, Chen Mo felt several people appear on the river bank behind him. He turned around and saw several young people, one female and four males, with angry looks on their faces. They were all holding swords. The male
The man is handsome and handsome, and the woman is as white and tender as jade. No wonder the man before said something about a fairy.
The woman looked at the man disappearing on the other side, stamped her feet angrily, and said angrily to the four men: "No, even the four of them can't save him with a single sword."
The four of them were not angry at being insulted by this little girl. One of them said: "Little junior sister, don't be angry. It doesn't matter if we can't catch him. We just need to drive the thief towards the senior brother, and then he will die."
Hearing the words "elder brother", the anger on the woman's face subsided a little, but then she saw a beggar-looking young man staring at her by the river, actually looking down on her, and the diminished anger surged again.
When he came up, he swiped the three-foot green blade in his hand, and a sword energy flew out.
Chen Mo was just thinking about whether this was the arrogant woman his master had spoken about. Suddenly, his pupils shrank and he was shocked: Second realm?!
Chen Mo was surprised, and the knife in his hand was immediately placed across his chest.
The sword energy hit him hard and knocked Chen Mo into the river.
"You dare to block me?!" the woman said slightly angrily. After saying this, she would strike with another sword to ensure that a companion would stop her.
"Little junior sister, it's more important to chase that person. Don't waste time here. If something goes wrong, senior brother will blame you. It's not good for senior brother to blame you. It's up to senior brother and me to deal with such rotten people."
After hearing what the man said, the woman snorted and said, "Then you take care of it, kill him and dig out his eyes at the same time."
"No problem." The man assured, patting his chest.
After the man finished speaking, the woman took the other three people and flew towards the other side of the river like dragonflies touching the water.
