Chapter 81: Parting (End of the Volume)
The weather in early spring has warmed up, the trees in the courtyard have grown green shoots, and the breeze blowing on the face is no longer cold, but very comfortable, but Chen Mo is not in the mood to appreciate these at this moment.
When he came out of the room, Chen Mo's face was a little red, after all, from birth to the present, it was the first time that he asked another woman to wipe his body for him except his mother.
Juan'er followed behind Chen Mo, a little funny, this son was really restrained and tight, just helped him wipe his upper body, and the whole person was as if it was cooked.
It's just that Chen Mo was in front, and she didn't dare to really laugh, she just lowered her head, holding back a smile on her little face, and endured a little hard.
"Chen Mo!"
Hearing someone call him, Chen Mo turned his head to look, and saw Da Lang sneakily hiding in the shadows, beckoning to him.
"What?" Chen Mo was a little surprised by what Da Lang called him.
"I heard that you are going to follow that Mr. Zang to Qingzhou?" Da Lang came to Chen Mo's side, yesterday's apprenticeship, as Chen Mo's friend, also went to see it, now Chen Mo is no longer the country dung lang in the past, his identity is different, this title naturally can't be called Ergou directly as before, I can't say why, it's just that in such an environment, Ergou is a name like this, I really can't call it.
"Well, the teacher was the county commander over there, and this time he returned to his hometown because of the Taiping Sect that delayed the trip, and now that the siege of Quyang has been resolved, the teacher wants to rush back as soon as possible." Chen Mo nodded.
"How about taking me with you?" Da Lang said a little stiffly.
"It's a long way from here." Chen Mo was curious: "Why do you want to walk with me?" My mother is still here and will always come back. ”
"What's the use of me staying here? It's just a fence, anyway, I haven't taken it out now, Zhang Xianling is not very comfortable staying here after all, I want to go out with you to have a look, and learn some skills. Da Lang sighed and said, he is now fatherless, motherless, lonely, and here after all, he is under the fence, and he also knows very well that Zhang Chao can't teach him, follow Chen Mo, maybe he can learn something, but stay here, I'm afraid this life will be like this.
"I can't make my decision, I need to consult the teacher." Chen Mo wanted to refuse, but when he heard Da Lang's words, he felt a little unbearable, Dumb has his mother, but Da Lang is his parents are gone, it is better to follow him, but he still has to ask Zang Hong for this matter, Zang Hong nodded, he didn't count.
"Okay, you go and say it, if it really doesn't work, I'll go find Uncle Yang." Da Lang nodded happily, Uncle Yang is now a thief in Quyang, not an official but also an official, for the sake of his fellow villagers, take care of the head office.
After Chen Mo took over the matter, he went to visit his mother and Zang Hong.
"Childe, you ......" Juan'er followed Chen Mo's side, wanting to speak again.
"What?" Chen Mo turned his head to look at Juan'er, still feeling a little embarrassed.
"Childe, your status is noble, this dignity is different, this person is a servant, but he calls Childe by his name, which is a little rude." Juan'er bowed.
"He grew up with me since he was a child, and he was not a servant." Chen Mo shook his head and said, this new identity has not yet been adapted, but this rule is a little cold in Chen Mo's opinion, this is what I really felt in Da Lang before, an indescribable sense of alienation, although Da Lang is commensurate with his name, he no longer calls himself Ergou, but he has lost the intimacy of the past, this feeling is very uncomfortable, the kind of emptiness.
Juan'er bowed, no longer said, just followed Chen Mo, first went to see her mother, and then went to meet Zang Hong, Mencius's book, Chen Mo has, Zang Hong's teachings are a little different from Chen Mo, the chant still has to be recited, but it is to read out a large number of paragraphs to learn today, and there is no need to memorize, as long as it can be read smoothly, Zang Hong began to tell Chen Mo some history.
The year in which Mencius wrote is a little vague, but the general background is the Warring States Period, and there are similarities and differences with the Analects, Zang Hong does not seem to have much to do with the books, and often tells some stories that happened at that time, but somehow, after listening to the teacher put these seemingly unrelated things, Chen Mo often has some understanding of what he has learned.
The teacher's teaching seems to be much better than that of the mother!
Da Lang's matter, Zang Hong agreed, after returning to office, he still has to govern the people's livelihood, Chen Mo can't study all the time, children at this age are active by nature, and it's not bad to have a playmate.
The days seem to be back to before, the difference is that Chen Mo no longer has to be busy with farming every day, and the food and housing are like mud compared to before.
Get up early every morning, Chen Mo will read what the teacher is going to teach him today, and at the same time stand on the pile, after reading smoothly, Chen Mo will follow the system fairy to teach his own forging method to boil up his physical strength, or do some special actions, according to the system fairy note, these actions can exercise flexibility, but what is flexibility, Chen Mo doesn't understand very well, but the system fairy doesn't need to harm himself, the previous conditions can't keep up, Chen Mo didn't dare to practice more, now he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, Chen Mo practices very hard.
Occasionally, Chen Mo will take Da Lang and Dumb to the city to help, the Taiping Sect outside the city has been dispersed, but there are still many things to do, such as the corpses outside the city to gather and burn or bury, according to the teacher, if these corpses are not disposed of, it is likely to turn into a plague.
This is something that Chen Mo has not experienced, but at this time, Chen Mo is no longer a child who dreamed of being a general in the township, having experienced a war, Chen Mo is now beginning to yearn for peace.
Chen Mo didn't enter the dream training camp for the time being, the dream battlefield he experienced last time is still fresh in his memory, Chen Mo is not sure if the next time he learns skills will be as cruel as the dream battlefield, and on the other hand, Chen Mo also wants to see if the consumed luck will recover as he did in the township.
The result is still very satisfactory, and you can recover a little luck the next day, but it has not recovered since then, and it may be that there is not enough time. But because this value is much higher than the basic, even if you use some of it, you won't be as unlucky as last time.
After having this inference, Chen Mo is still very happy, he still has twenty-three points of luck, among the basic skills, the highest is only five points of luck, every time he uses it, he recovers a little the next day, then he can learn at least three skills, if his luck can be recovered, then it will be more.
Of course, these are based on your own guesses being correct, but even if you guess wrong, you can learn three skills.
After staying in Quyang for another seven days, Chen Mo resigned to Zhang Chao under the leadership of Zang Hong and prepared to go north.
"It's a long way to go, and I'll listen to Mr. more." Outside the city gate, Chen's mother, Uncle Yang, Aunt Cai, and Dumb followed the send-off team to see off Chen Mo, Zang Hong said goodbye to Zhang Chao in the distance, and Chen Mo said goodbye to his mother and the only remaining villagers.
"Don't worry, the child knows." Chen Mo nodded.
"Brother...... I also want to ......" Dumb looked at Chen Mo, a little reluctant, parting is always uncomfortable, especially when everyone has suffered together, this feeling is naturally deeper, Dumb is young, and he is not as early as Chen Mo, among all the people, it is he who can't stand this the most, before he finished speaking, his eyes were already red, and his snot went straight down.
"Take care of my mother and your mother, practice your skills, if I want to be a leader in the future, you can help me." Chen Mo hugged Dumb hard and said with a smile.
"Well, my brother must come back to me!" Dumb sniffed and nodded vigorously.
Chen Mo looked at Uncle Yang again, and Yang Mao's big hand patted him on the shoulder: "Although I am older, you know more than me, and when you return from your studies earlier, we Zhuangzi, there are only a few of you left." ”
"Uncle Yang should also take care." Chen Mo saluted Yang Mao, and said goodbye to Aunt Cai, and then took Da Lang to the side of the convoy, this time to travel thousands of miles, and there was chaos outside, Zang Hong went back this time, and brought more than 300 people, except for a small number of domestic servants and maidservants, almost all of them were recruited from home, and it was delayed for some time.
"Done?" Zang Hong beckoned Chen Mo into his car, looked at his disciple, and asked with a smile.
"Well, thank you, teacher." Chen Mo saluted Zang Hong.
"In the future, there will be no outsiders present, so you and I don't have to be so polite, let's go!" Zang Hong shook his head and smiled, shouting outside the car.
"Driving~"
The convoy began to move slowly with the shout of the coachman, after Chen's mother looked at the direction of the frame and gradually disappeared from sight, her body suddenly weakened, and she fell to the ground.
Only then did everyone feel relieved and helped Chen's mother go back to the city to rest......
