Great Xuanwu Sheng

that's all.

Another half month passed in a flash.

Something unexpected happened to Chen Mulue. His third aunt and his family got Zhang Hai out of prison.

It is said that Butcher Zhang found an important person from his family. I don’t know how he begged, but it finally worked. After nearly two months, Zhang Hai was released from prison. .

This matter did not go through Chen Mu's hands, so it took several days for him to find out the news when Chen Hong came to visit.

Third aunt, you can come as soon as you come. You don't have to bring these rice noodles every time. I can't help you with anything.

Chen Mu invited Chen Hong into the room and said while looking at the bag of rice that Chen Hong was carrying.

Chen Hong was also accompanied by his cousin Zhang Hai. Compared with more than a month ago, he was obviously much thinner. However, because he was released from prison, he probably rested at home for several days, and his complexion Has recovered a lot.

At this time, he followed Chen Hong into the house. He took a look at the small and dilapidated house, and then at Chen Mu. There was a hint of unknown meaning in his eyes, and he shook his head secretly. After he went back, he heard that Chen Hong wanted to marry his cousin Youying. It was said that Chen Mu would get married, but how could his cousin marry in a place like this, which didn't even have a decent yard. Fortunately, Youying didn't agree.

Chen Hong insisted on letting him come over and thank Chen Mu in person, but he didn't think there was anything to thank him for. Chen Mu might have done something, but he didn't do anything except transfer money to the prison boss.

Chen Mu noticed that Zhang Hai had a different attitude, but he didn't care. Today, his strength is steadily improving, his life is getting better and better, his mentality is naturally becoming calmer, and he doesn't care about the opinions of others.

Aren't you interested in me bringing some rice and noodles to see my niece? You're not afraid of being hungry, but I'm afraid that Yue'er will lose weight.

Chen Hong said with a smile.

Zhang Hai was rescued, and her mental state was obviously back to what it was before, not as lifeless as last time.

Third aunt.

Chen Yue came out from behind and shouted sweetly.

During this period of time, because Chen Mu had improved the food at home, her complexion was obviously much better than before, and she even looked a little dewy, and her face had grown longer. Chen Hong was surprised, and even Zhang Hai also smiled slightly. Startled.

Yueer is getting more and more beautiful. Did you eat something good?

Chen Hong held up Chen Yue's face and joked with a smile.

Chen Yue sat there with a naive look, but did not answer.

Chen Hong and Zhang Hai sat at Chen Mu's house for a while, but they didn't stay long, and soon said goodbye and left. The main purpose of coming here was to tell Chen Mu about Zhang Hai, and to thank Chen Mu for what happened before. .

Chen Mu sent Chen Hong and Zhang Hai out. When he turned around and closed the door, he looked at Chen Yue and said with a smile: Your third aunt asked you what good things you have eaten during this time. Why didn't you say that there are fish these days? Meat?

Chen Yue shrank her head and said: What if my cousin finds out and he has to eat at our house? Third aunt is fine, I'm afraid my cousin can eat five Yue's worth of food in one meal.

Chen Mu was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Although he felt that Chen Yue might be fooling around, it was good that the little girl could resist showing off to others.

…

the other side.

Zhang Hai, who left Chen Mu's house, had just followed Chen Hong into an alley when he couldn't help complaining: Mom, how can you think of asking Youying to be his wife? You see, his family is very poor. Youying and How can he have a good life?

After saying this, he paused again, thinking of Chen Yue, and said: Well, sister Yue'er is getting more and more beautiful. If she can marry into a good family, he might be lucky enough to be promoted...

Having a very pretty sister is not all bad.

Nonsense.

Chen Hong glared at Zhang Hai and said: Your cousin is an errand. Even if he doesn't have much money, he lives a stable life and there are no gangsters who dare to cause trouble. This is a skill. Yue'er is still young, so don't fight. What a crooked idea.

Yes Yes Yes.

Zhang Hai responded perfunctorily.

Although he had nothing to do with his cousin Chen Mu, he always felt that Chen Mu had not done his best for him during the previous prison incident, and he became even more dissatisfied.

But in fact, if Chen Mu was a boss or even a boss, even if he only said a word or asked a few casual questions about this kind of thing, Zhang Hai would probably be extremely grateful, but just because Chen Mu is a small low-level person. Even if the police tried their best, Zhang Hai didn't feel that Chen Mu had done anything.

This is how things have always been.

…

The days passed.

Chen Mu practices swordplay every day, rain or shine, and his experience points slowly accumulate.

The step from great achievement to perfection in the Wild Wind Sword Technique requires a lot of experience points, a full three thousand points, which is at least half a year of accumulation for him. It is a long way to go, but fortunately the direction is clear and there are no obstacles. , as long as you work hard and persevere, you can steadily cross that threshold.

Although the outer city is as chaotic as ever, in the past he was able to rely on his observation and actions to be cautious and cautious, and he spent more than two years safely. Now that he has the strength, he does not cause trouble and does not take care of it. Naturally, there is no trouble for him. .

Woodshed.

The sword in Chen Mu's hand flew up and down. As he waved it, there seemed to be a strong wind, making the dust in the woodshed fly. However, all the dust was centered on him, rolling outwards, seemingly chaotic. , but orderly.

After practicing like this for who knows how long, as 'Experience +1' popped up in his sight, Chen Mu slowly put away his sword and stopped.

Six months.

He sighed.

Unknowingly, nearly six months have passed since he mastered his sword skills.

It has been nearly nine months since he got the Gust Sword Technique and activated the system.

Chen Mu called up the system interface.

[Martial Arts: Wild Wind Sword Technique (Dacheng)]

[Experience: 2917 points]

Not even close.

Chen Mu looked at the accumulated experience and nodded slightly.

He is now practicing swordsmanship and can gain more than ten experience points every day. Now he is not far away from 3,000 points. Looking at the situation, at most seven or eight days will be enough to collect it.

Brother, you got up so early again.

Chen Yue yawned and appeared at the door of the woodshed.

It is late.

Chen Mu moved out of the way and said, It's time to go on errands after resting for a while.

Okay, let's get out.

Chen Yue pushed Chen Mu out, she was going to make a fire to cook.

Chen Mu was pushed out of the woodshed by Chen Yue and smiled in his heart. Instead of going back to the bedroom to rest, he opened the door and went outside, stretched his body and took a few breaths of fresh air outside.

He stood at the door for a while, listening to Chen Yue's busy activities in the woodshed. When he was about to return to the house, he suddenly heard a noise not far away from the alley, which seemed to be mixed with crying.

Early in the morning...

Chen Mu shook his head.

Listening to the sound, it seemed to be the voice of 'Old Man Wang' from the south of the alley and his granddaughter.

This old man Wang actually had a good life. He gave birth to a son and a daughter-in-law. The couple ran a small business and had enough food and clothing. However, not long ago, his son and daughter-in-law suddenly disappeared and were never found again.

Because he had a granddaughter to support, Old Man Wang had no choice but to go back to his old business and go out to the city to chop firewood with an axe. However, he was old and had not been out of the city to chop firewood for several years. As a result, he only went there a few times and accidentally made a mistake. Broken leg.

Then he caught up with the Red Gold Gang and annexed the Black Snake Gang.

Massive collection of 'settlement money'.

In this world, ordinary people only need to suffer one or two disasters, and they will basically never get up again.

Chen Mu sighed in his heart.

Hearing the noise over there, he didn't go over. He just stood at the door and looked over there from a distance. He could vaguely see two men dragging a little girl about ten years old out.

Then a lame old man limped out and chased him. He was pushed and fell directly to the ground.

Old man, you've been owed money for your family's shelter for four months. You really think that we are fools. If we can't pay the money today, it's only natural that we use your granddaughter to pay off the debt.

The voice of one of the men came from far along the alley.

Some nearby houses had heard the noise, but none of them opened the door. At most, they would peek out through the cracks in the door, and even more people wouldn't even look at it, just staying in the house without moving.

Old Man Wang's granddaughter cried and struggled desperately, but she couldn't get past the two shirtless men and was dragged further and further away.

Doing evil...doing evil...

Old man Wang fell to the ground and struggled to get up, but the crutch flew to the side, and he could not get up because of his limp. He could only watch his granddaughter being dragged away, with tears streaming down his face.

Chen Mu was also very unhappy when he saw this scene.

Although the Black Snake Gang was relatively arrogant at first, for those who really couldn't afford the money, the Black Snake Gang would often not push people to the point of death, but the Red Gold Gang was much more tyrannical, completely forcing people to die. Even in broad daylight.

The order in the outer city is becoming more and more chaotic. The Chijin Gang has become so despicable, and the City Guards Department is ignoring it.

In fact, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing. Based on the cautious idea of ​​​​being alone when he is poor, he has ignored it in the past, but this time, after all, he is a neighbor in an alley, which is a little different.

Just at this time.

While struggling and crying, Old Man Wang's granddaughter saw him, the only open door in the alley, and him standing at the door, and cried out: Brother Chen, help me.

That’s all.

Chen Mu shook his head in his heart and took a few steps forward.

After all, they are fellow villagers and neighbors who know each other. If he is still as poor as before and can only live alone, he can only choose to be indifferent. Now, after all, it is different.
