After practicing for about an hour, Chen Mo practiced the commonly used moves of the stick with a good memory, as for fluency, it is naturally impossible, but this is like literacy, no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to practice a thing from beginner to proficient in one day, plus it took a lot of physical strength in the afternoon, and when it was slightly dark, Chen Mo was already exhausted.

"Bring this back." Uncle Wang cut a piece of tiger meat for Chen Mo, tied it with a string, handed it to Chen Mo and said, "Now that you have a long body, you should eat more meat, otherwise no matter how good your talent is, this body will collapse." ”

Chen Mo didn't pick it up, and said with some hesitation: "How much does this catty of tiger meat cost?" ”

"Give it to you, take it." Uncle Wang shook his head and said.

"That's not good, I've been asking Uncle Wang for martial arts these days, and I've taken advantage of Uncle Wang, and now I'm taking Uncle Wang's meat for nothing, and I'm uneasy." Chen Mo shook his head, although he was a little stingy, he would not take advantage of this.

"If you take it, you will take it, how can there be so much nonsense?" Uncle Wang looked at Chen Mo with a smile.

Chen Mo shook his head, it was true that he refused to accept it, picked up his back basket, picked up the hoe and turned around and ran.

Uncle Wang looked at the direction where Chen Mo left, shook his head, but didn't force it, looked at the mess in the courtyard, and looked at the direction where Chen Mo left, isn't this kid afraid that he will leave him to clean up, right?

"Ah sneeze~"

Chen Mo, who ran home, couldn't help but sneeze coldly, rubbed his nose, put down the back basket, and touched the sunspot who came happily by the way.

"Mother, the child is back!" Chen Mo stepped into the house, and saw Chen's mother frowning, and said in surprise: "Mother, what happened?" ”

"It's not a big deal...... Mother Chen hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "I just came here to raise a batch of food for the Taiping Sect, and each family has to go out." ”

"Why!?" Chen Mo was a little furious when he heard this: "In the past few years, there have been more and more taxes, and we don't have much surplus food, so the Taiping Sect is just pretending to be a ghost and asking us to give them food?" So how do we live? ”

"Silence!" Mother Chen was startled, and hurriedly pulled Chen Mo over, glanced out of the door carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, looking at Chen Mo and saying, "What can we do about these things?" ”

"What does it matter to us that they raise food?" Chen Mo said angrily: "Whoever is willing to give it, our family has no food for them!" ”

"More is better than less, we can't fight them." Uncle Wang's voice came from behind.

"Brother Wang." Mother Chen hurriedly stood up, welcomed Uncle Wang in, and said with a smile: "Why did you come in person?" ”

"This time I hunted a tiger and cut some tiger meat, I wanted Ergou to send it, but who knew that this kid ran away directly, so I sent it myself." Uncle Wang put the tiger meat on the table, nodded at Chen's mother and said, "This child is like his father." ”

"Well, thank you, Brother Wang." Chen's mother returned the gift.

"Mother, isn't it okay?" Chen Mo looked at the tiger meat on the case and swallowed his saliva, he had grown so big, it was the first time he had the opportunity to eat tiger meat, but ...... took other people's things for nothing, which made Chen Mo a little uncomfortable.

"In the future, Mo'er has good things, and Uncle Wang will share it, folks, there are some things, don't worry too much." Mother Chen sighed, looked at Uncle Wang and said, "Brother Wang, don't be surprised, Mo'er is not sensible." ”

Uncle Wang is willing to teach Chen Mo, in fact, he is also willing to have more dealings with his family, or he is more optimistic about the future of this child, which can be regarded as an investment, this Chen's mother naturally understands that Chen Mo is young, he doesn't understand these people's sophistication, and his personality is more serious, he doesn't want to suffer losses, and he doesn't want to be cheap, but this life is alive, these people's contacts, how can it be really cut off, but this truth, Chen's mother doesn't know how to teach.

"Hmm." Uncle Wang nodded and said, "It's not early, so I won't stay longer and leave." ”

"Brother Wang, walk slowly." Chen's mother took Chen Mo to send Uncle Wang out, the sunspot was picked by Uncle Wang, and he was also close to Uncle Wang, and happily came to Uncle Wang's side.

"Uncle Wang, why can't you fight? I don't believe everybody is willing to pay food! Chen Mo took Uncle Wang's hand and wondered: "There are only a few of them, what are they afraid of?" ”

"Those people are naturally not afraid, but the Taiping Sect is not just those few people, listen to your mother." Uncle Wang touched Chen Mo's head and sighed.

"Mother?" Seeing Uncle Wang walking away, Chen Mo looked back at his mother in confusion, still a little unacceptable.

"Just like the imperial court, there are only a few tax collectors who collect taxes every year in the imperial court, do you dare to do anything with them?" Mother Chen sighed.

"But the Taiping Sect is not the imperial court?" Chen Mo said with some indignation: "Don't you care about this matter?" ”

"The specific mother is not clear, although it is not the imperial court, but the government office obviously has no intention of taking care of it, if we provoke them, I am afraid that there will be a disaster! If you are not careful, it will be a disaster! Mother Chen looked at Chen Mo and said solemnly: "Mother knows that my son has always made decisions, but this time, listen to my mother, don't provoke them." ”

For the first time since he could remember, Chen Mo saw his mother talking to him with such a serious and pleading attitude, and hurriedly said: "I know, don't worry, I won't argue with her, but how much do they want?" ”

"It's comparable to the taxes paid by the imperial court." Mother Chen sighed and said.

"As a result, 30% of the harvest is gone!" Chen Mo gritted his teeth and said, he was originally going to take a few acres of land after the autumn harvest this year, and in this way, at most, he would ask someone to help cultivate one or two acres, it was impossible to hire tenant farmers, and he would have to suffer next year!

"Bear with me!" Chen's mother looked at her son with some distress, almost all of the Chen family's livelihood was carried by Chen Mo, and this Taiping Sect also came to collect taxes, and the original life was quite easy, but I am afraid that it would have to be a little more burdensome.

"It's okay, mother~" Chen Mo took a deep breath and looked up at his mother, the smile on his face was very innocent, but it made people look inexplicably sad: "At most, a year, the child will definitely be able to make his mother live a good life." ”

"Well, my son has the ability, my mother believes in you!" Mother Chen's nose was sour, and tears almost couldn't help pouring out, so she quickly raised her head, nodded, and tried to maintain the smile on her face.

"The boy has gone to rest, and tomorrow I have to water the ground again, and I have to build a nest for the sunspots, and a chicken coop...... Very busy. Chen Mo didn't want to make his mother uncomfortable, so he dragged his mother to his home, and told his mother to go to bed early, and then went back to his house to sleep alone.

Looking at her son's back, Chen's mother knelt on the ground a little weakly, looking at the night scene outside the door, and some helplessly held the sunspot next to her in her arms, sobbing lowly, and it didn't spread far in the night, the sunspot looked at the master blankly, stretched out her tongue to lick the master's hand, this night, for the people living at the bottom of this era, is not friendly......
