Chapter 26: Visiting Mother
Compared with the township, Yongning County is obviously much more prosperous, the street is full of people, traffic, all kinds of cries and sales, all kinds of commodities are dazzling.
Zhang Mo and the five of them arrived in the county seat, it was almost noon, and the group planned to have lunch first, and then buy what they needed.
Now Zhang Jing and the others have a gold coin on them, so they don't have to worry about having no money to eat.
The five ate the simplest egg fried rice and then purchased the items separately on their own. After Zhang Mo separated from them, he went directly to the county government office.
I saw that there were four guards standing guard in front of the county government office, and Zhang Mo arrived and was stopped.
"Little brother, who are you looking for? If it's okay, please don't step into the mansion casually!" the captain of the guard kindly reminded.
Zhang Mo said: "This eldest brother, I came to the mansion to find Zhang Qian, he is my eldest brother, a native of Zhangjiabao in Tai'an Town!"
When the captain of the guard saw that he came to find Zhang Qian, his attitude immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "It turned out to be a young man, our Lord Zhang is still in the mansion, fortunately you came in time, if you are a little later, he will get off work, who will I come!"
Zhang Mo thanked him, and then followed the captain of the guard to Zhang Qian's office.
At this time, Zhang Qian was busy and was planning to go to visit his mother after work. Seeing Zhang Mo coming, he asked in surprise: "Third brother, why did you come to the county seat?"
The captain of the guard said goodbye and left, and Zhang Mo responded: "Big brother, I will enter the barracks after the Chinese New Year, so I want to see if my mother's eye disease is better." ”
Zhang Qian said: "Mother's eye disease has improved somewhat, but she still can't see, and I plan to see her, so let's go together!"
Zhang Mo naturally had no opinion, so the two brothers went out of the mansion and then went to the county medical bureau.
When he left the gate of the mansion, Zhang Qian said to the captain of the guard: "Escort Liu, you are very conscientious, I think you have a very promising future!"
"Thank you Lord Zhang for looking down on me, and I will definitely work harder in the future!" Liu Huwei was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said.
Others may not know, but Liu Huwei understands that soon this Lord Zhang Qian will be promoted, the current prefect is old, and he will soon abdicate, and then this young and powerful Lord Zhang is very likely to be corrected.
It's just that Zhang Qian didn't think about it so much, and took Zhang Mo out of the mansion and came to the street.
"Third brother, it's noon, have you had lunch?" Zhang Qian saw that this younger brother had suffered before, and now he wanted to take care of him more.
It's just that Zhang Mo touched his stomach and said, "Big brother doesn't have to worry about me, I just ate egg fried rice with four partners from the same village." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Qian said, "Then I'll eat first, and then bring food to my parents." ”
Zhang Mo had no opinion, and after the eldest brother was full, he went to the county medical bureau with a box of meals.
The prefectural medical office is a public medical center with doctors with various specialties.
Li Yue'er stayed in the ophthalmology department and is still recuperating. The acupuncture and decoction used by the ophthalmologist were conditioned, but Li Yue'er was delayed a lot of time after crying and blinding, so the recovery was a little long.
Zhang Yuan was a little relieved to see the two brothers coming.
"Mom and Dad, you eat first!" Zhang Mo reminded.
"Thank you two brothers for your hard work!" Zhang Yuan was a little ashamed, now he can't help anything, and he has to spend money every day, but the family's money is only in and out, and it will soon bottom out.
"Dad, this is my monthly salary, you take it first, if it's not enough, I'll think of a way. As he spoke, Zhang Qian put ten gold coins in Zhang Yuan's pocket.
Zhang Yuan did not refuse, and reminded: "Qian'er, if the cost is difficult, I will take your mother back to recuperate!"
Without waiting for Zhang Qian to answer, Li Yue'er echoed: "Yes, Qian'er, my eye disease can't be cured in a day or two, and it is too expensive to live for such a long time." The conditions of our family can't withstand such a toss!"
Zhang Qian didn't know how to answer, after all, going home to recuperate can indeed save a lot. It's just that the treatment effect is naturally much worse than in the medical bureau, so he is a little hesitant.
Zhang Mo saw that the eldest brother was too difficult, if he was not greedy as an official, where would he have much money in his pocket, except for daily expenses, there would be not much left. Now that his mother has lived in the medical bureau for so long, and now she still spends nearly eighty copper plates a day, Zhang Qian wants to fulfill her filial piety.
"Dad, Mom, I have some money here, you can use it for treatment!" As he spoke, Zhang Mo took out a hundred gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan didn't know where Zhang Mo got so many gold coins, and asked, "Mo'er, where did you get this money? Did you do something illegal and violent?"
Zhang Mo flatly denied it: "Dad, my money is all above board, I was trained in Xiling before, hunting some animal skins, but I was busy and didn't make a move, and then I signed up for the army, and I felt that staying in Xiling might be scrapped, so I went into the mountains and took all those animal skins out and sold them." These 100 gold coins are the payment given to me by a fur buyer, so you can use them with confidence. ”
Zhang Qian saw that Zhang Mo had obtained so many gold coins from hunting, patted the other party's shoulder and smiled: "Third brother, I didn't expect you to really be able to! ”
Zhang Mo grinned and smirked, "Big brother, I also have this little family background, how can I compare with you? I want to enter the barracks after the New Year, and it is useless for me to hold these gold coins, so it is better to leave them to my mother for treatment." ”
Zhang Yuan saw that his son was not hiding his secrets, and suddenly felt that he had grown up, and said with a smile: "Mo'er, you have a heart, if your mother's eye disease can be cured, you will be indispensable." ”
"It should be!" Zhang Mo was praised and grinned.
Then Zhang Qian took Zhang Mo to play in the county for a day, and returned to Zhangjiabao with Zhang Jing and the four of them on the second day.
Time passed unconsciously, and it was about to be the New Year, and Zhang Mo was alone at home for the New Year. The subordinate Lan's mother went home, and after Zhang Mo paid the salary, she didn't have to go back to Zhangjiabao to work for the time being.
Lan's mother sighed and comforted Zhang Mo not to worry, his mother's eye disease would definitely get better.
After Zhang Mo sent Lan's mother away, Zhang Jing arrived with things.
"Zhang Mo, you are too lonely to spend the New Year at home alone, why don't you go to my house for the New Year?" Zhang Jing persuaded him.
"Thank you Zhang Jing, I have to spend the New Year at home, this family can't be without a little popularity, although my parents are not at home, but I, as their son, have the responsibility to protect this home. Zhang Mo didn't look like a lonely person at all, if it was before, he would definitely go to Zhang Jing's house for the New Year. Since two years of training in Xiling, he has already looked down on some things. When a person is lonely, he feels more comfortable.
Zhang Jing saw that the other party did not listen to persuasion, and said: "I know that you kid is stubborn, so bring a fish from home to give you to eat for the New Year!"
This time, Zhang Mo did not refuse, thanked him, and then put the fish into his own water tank to raise the fish, and then kill and eat them at night.
As a return gift, Zhang Mo took out a bag of nuts from the room and said: "This is the nut that my eldest brother asked me to bring back, called cashew nuts, it tastes good, I accepted your fish, this cashew nut is my return gift to you, don't refuse." ”
"Hehe, you kid is righteous, okay! I'll take it. Zhang Jing took the cashew nuts in the other party's hand and said, "Let's go, there are still things to do at home." ”
Zhang Mo didn't leave the other party, said goodbye to the other party, and then closed the door of his compound.
He looked at the entire compound empty, and he didn't know what to do next, he was not hungry at this time, so he decided to practice the Great Soul Refining Decision for a while.
He sat cross-legged on a stone bench beside him, then closed his eyes and practiced.
"Hold on to your heart, all things in heaven and earth, for my use, move!" Zhang Mo said something in his mouth, suddenly opened his eyes, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to a wooden chair beside him.
Under the control of his mind, the spiritual power of heaven and earth converged into a disc according to his will, and then the wooden chair was suspended in the air.
The wooden chair was suspended in the air and stopped steadily at a height of two meters, and then Zhang Mo pointed to the table next to the wooden chair and shouted: "Get up!"
I saw that the table was also suspended in the air under the control of his mind, and at this time, the words of the Heavenly Daoist sounded in the space of his knowledge: "Stinky boy, yes, you can control two objects with distraction, with more practice, you can control thousands of objects for your use." ”
"Old man, is what you said true?" Zhang Mo suddenly thought of a question.
"Living creatures can't do it, unless the living creatures don't resist, or their cultivation is much lower than yours, so they can control it. "After all, the people of Tongtian Dao are people who have come over, and they are naturally more profound in the use of soul power.
Zhang Mo was a little unconvinced, and after putting down the table and chairs, he tried to control the fish in the tank to fly, but in the process of controlling the fish to suspension, the fish began to struggle hard, even if Zhang Mo controlled it with all his might, and finally the fish fell into the water.
Zhang Mo really doesn't believe in evil, if it doesn't work once, twice, in the end, after trying a hundred times, it is still the same result, and he finally gave up. Indeed, as the people of Tongtian said, living creatures are difficult to manipulate at will.
Just when he was depressed, suddenly an ant crawled over the ground, so Zhang Mo began to try again to see if he could control the ant.
"Get up!" Zhang Mo condensed his soul, and then shouted, originally thinking that it would be difficult to levitate the ants, but in the end he found that it was not at all what he imagined.
I saw that the ants were easily lifted, but it was a little difficult to move.
Zhang Mo asked a little puzzled: "Old man, what's the situation, why can I lift the ants up, but it is so difficult to move?"
Tongtian smiled: "Stinky boy, you don't know what a horcrux is, you only know that blindly using soul power is just a waste of soul power." ”
"In your world, if you want to exert the maximum effect of fighting strength, it is naturally to use spirit soldiers, the higher the level of spirit soldiers, the stronger the spiritual power they can withstand, and the combat power will become stronger. ”
"In the same way, soul power requires horcruxes as carriers, the tables and chairs you controlled before are all mortal, although ants have soul bodies, they are still mortals, and the soul power they can withstand is limited, so it is naturally difficult for you to control them. ”
"If you control a Horcrux, the effect can be multiplied, the better the Horcrux, the more soul power it can withstand, and the effect will be very different. ”
"The Soul Staff on your body is an extremely powerful Horcrux, although it is incomplete, but it is far beyond the scope of Horcruxes in this world, so the key is that you need a Horcrux that suits you to practice soul power. ”
Zhang Mo has actual combat experience and knows that although a Horcrux is very good, sometimes he faces a group fight, if there are multiple Horcruxes involved in the fight, the effect is self-evident, so he said:
"Old man, this Horcrux is really as powerful as you say, but after all, there is only one, is there a way to get more Horcruxes?"
Tongtian saw Zhang Mo's careful thoughts, and said with a smile: "Horcruxes are easy to obtain, but a good Horcrux is not easy to obtain. Now that you are not skilled enough in the control of spiritual power, even if I tell you the method of forging, it will be difficult for you to create a good Horcrux. ”
Zhang Mo didn't care, "Old man, I don't want any peerless divine weapons, I just need more Horcruxes, it's best to create more soul arrows, so that after I enter the barracks, I can show my skills." ”
Zhang Mo thought that he would have to go to the barracks to report after the New Year, and his blood boiled.
