Chapter 24 Rushing for Food
Chen Mo didn't go to Uncle Cai's house first, but went to Uncle Wang's house first, but Uncle Wang had already left, and when he left, Chen Mo didn't know, but he left after all.
Looking at the locked portal, Chen Mo stood for a long time before going to the Cai family's aunt with the package.
"Dumb, where is your mother?" When Chen Mo came, he saw Dumb sitting in front of the door in a daze, and went up to ask.
"What's going on inside?" Dumb looked at Chen Mo and said.
"Send something." Chen Mo was a little afraid to see the Cai family's aunt, after all, he had pushed others the day before yesterday, but since he promised Uncle Wang, he should do it, even in the face of tigers and leopards, he should not retreat.
"In the back room, I'll take you." Dumb patted the dirt on his body and stood up.
"Good...... Good! Chen Mo subconsciously straightened his chest, but he was still a little hesitant, Aunt Cai's madness in the past two days made him afraid, but thinking that this was Uncle Wang's entrustment, he finally strode towards the back room with a heroic expression on his face.
The aunt of the Cai family was cooking, and when she saw Chen Molai, she asked lightly about Chen's mother's situation and stopped talking.
......Seeing that Aunt Cai didn't seem to be as vicious as she imagined, Chen Mo felt a lot more relieved, put the package in his hand on the case and said, "Auntie, this is what Uncle Wang asked me to bring to you." ”
"Take it back, we don't want it." Aunt Cai glanced at Chen Mo.
"But Uncle Wang is gone." Chen Mo said a little sadly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a short time, and things will break down after a long time." ”
"Then I'll take it back to your house." Aunt Cai's expression became a little cold.
"I can't ask for it." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I have already delivered the things, and I have to go to Ah Weng to make manure today, so I will leave first." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Aunt Cai to answer, Chen Mo turned around and ran away, running out of Zhuangzi, and seeing that no one was chasing him, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Ergou, what's wrong with you?" Ado was already preparing materials for manure with a group of friends, and he couldn't help but ask when he saw Chen Mo like this.
"Nothing, fulfilled a man's promise!" Chen Mo said proudly.
"What is the promise?" Ado looked at Chen Mo blankly.
"Uh...... It's a promise that a man should keep! Chen Mo thought for a moment, although he didn't quite understand it himself.
"Brother Ergou is so powerful!" Several friends said with admiration, although they didn't understand it very well.
"Okay, let's do things, there are a lot of things in the past two days, we have to finish the manure pit of Lizheng's house quickly, Ado, you take four people to dig the pit first, and the others stay and make manure with me, and when we are done, we will send it over, so quickly." Chen Mo didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so he waved his hand.
"Good!" Ado said yes and ran to the field of Lizheng's house with his four friends.
Chen Mo stayed behind to continue making manure, and then rushed over at noon, where Ado and the others had already dug a manure tank.
I didn't come today, but I still asked my daughter-in-law to bring food at noon.
After another three days like this, after the manure of the Li Zheng family was applied, Chen Mo began to make manure for each family again, and at the same time began to take time to hone his archery skills every day according to the method taught by Uncle Wang.
may be because there is no father at home, Dumb trains the most seriously every day, and he trains with Chen Mo, and Uncle Cai used to be a hunter and will also teach Dumb some skills, so among a group of friends, Dumb and Chen Mo have been together the longest.
The things left by Uncle Wang, the Cai family's aunt didn't throw them away in the end, the specific reason, Chen Mo is not very clear, when he asked his mother, his mother just said that he had to live after all, this sounds simple, but Chen Mo feels that it is not so simple.
Such days are cheerful for Chen Mo, he will learn a discourse with his mother every day, memorize it, and then write, stand on the pile every day when he has nothing to do, and go to practice stick or bow and arrow after he is busy, two months down, his stick and archery skills have reached the fifth level, how powerful the stick is for the time being, but archery, within ten steps, he can accurately shoot the target that does not move, twenty steps, ten arrows can also shoot seven or eight arrows, no matter how far away, the short bow is not reached, as for the long bow, there is no place to find it, there are sold in the city, But the price is not cheap, the short bow in his hand has been asked by the trustee, and it costs three hundred yuan, and Xia Qiu does not have a craftsman to make the bow.
If you want a longbow, it will cost at least five hundred dollars, and there is no place to buy it, but the hunters have it, but the guy who eats it will not be able to sell it to him.
Although Dumb is also diligent, but the two of them compete in private, whether it is strength or stick skills, Dumb is not as good as Chen Mo, according to Chen Mo's estimate, Dumb's level is still about the third level, and I don't know if he has the help of the gods to learn fast or Dumb is too stupid, and it took Dumb two months to reach the level of his own one-month training.
"Brother Ergou~ Brother Ergou, look over there, a group of people are coming." On this day, a group of friends are getting together to frolic, the autumn harvest has arrived, all families are preparing for the harvest, at this time the children are always the most relaxed, Addo ran over in a hurry, pointing to the distance.
"What's so strange about that?" Chen Mo glanced at Ado suspiciously, in the past two months, he could see a large number of people walking north every few days, and it was no wonder.
"They seem to be coming this way." Ado pointed to the distance and said, "And it seems to be coming towards the field." ”
"Huh?" When Chen Mo heard this, he frowned, and took a group of friends over, and saw a group of people walking towards the field of Dumb's house.
"That's ...... Dumb your land, do you know these people? Chen Mo turned his head to look at Dumb and said.
"I don't recognize it." Dumb shook his head in confusion.
"Brother Ergou, look!" As he spoke, the dog baby suddenly barked.
Chen Mo turned his head to look and saw that the group of people was starting to go down to the ground, each with a sickle in their hands cutting crops.
"Oh no, I'm here to grab the crops!" Chen Mo's face changed and said, "Ado, you go and call someone, and the others will come with me!" ”
After speaking, Chen Mo directly picked up his stick, stepped on the quiver with a short bow on his back, and the others also picked up their sticks and walked forward menacingly.
"Brother Ergou, will we be beaten?" The dog baby came to Chen Mo's side, and her legs trembled a little, after all, those were all men in their prime.
"What are you afraid of, everyone is in the field, and they will arrive in a while, and they dare to do it?" The dog on the side said disdainfully.
"These people are here to grab food, I don't know which one."
"Whatever, let's fight first!"
In this era, it is common for two miles to fight for water or other resources, but it is still rare for people to come and grab food so directly.
