Chapter 8 Persuasion
The two rushed directly to the barren forest, during which Su Mo made up a dangerous fight story and told Zhao Xiaoying more fuel and vinegar.
Hearing that the head of the Black Wind Dao man was actually torn off by a demon, Zhao Xiaoying's face suddenly turned white with fright. He himself was also in awe of that Taoist, and praised him as a heroic man who acted chivalrous and righteous.
For these, Su Mo didn't bother to refute. The demon is dead, so he doesn't care.
It's just that he was worried that this matter would expose his secret, so he would tell a lie as a last resort.
When they arrived at the bush before them, several crows were pecking at the corpses, and when they saw someone coming, they 'quacked' and flew away with their wings.
"There's a stream not far from here, you can go there and drink some water. Su Mo said.
"Also...... It's good. Zhao Xiaoying had already seen the corpses of the Black Wind Daoist and the nameless old monk, especially the head of the Daoist was placed on the side, and a pair of old eyes were wide open, obviously seeing something terrible before he died, giving people a feeling of dying.
Zhao Xiaoying is a little timid by nature, and she has never seen such a terrible scene, and at this time, she was so frightened that the roots of her feet were weak and her scalp was itchy.
Seeing that he was a little hesitant and hesitant, Su Mo asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"Brother Mo, no need, hehe...... No need. ”
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoying had already walked away, Su Mo kicked Lao Dao's head to the side of an old tree: "This old ghost, it's scary when he dies." ”
Randomly chose a place with soft soil, and Su Mo began to dig a pit.
He really didn't want to bury this Black Wind Dao man, let him be violent in the wilderness, and be eaten by crows and wild dogs to relieve his anger.
However, in order to make Zhao Xiaoying believe in his words, it is always necessary to put on a show.
Su Mo danced the stainless steel sword in his hand, 'brush, brush, brush' A few swords went down, and a small pit had already been dug out.
When Zhao Xiaoying rushed back, the pit had already been dug by him.
"Hey, why did you dig so fast?" Zhao Xiaoying's face was full of surprise.
Su Mo smiled and didn't speak.
The two of them put the body of the Black Wind Dao man into the pit together, and Su Mo went to the tree to pick up the head again, and threw it directly into the pit with a 'pop'.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaoying complained: "Brother Mo, don't be rude to the benefactor's corpse. After he finished speaking, he trembled and put the old man's head and the corpse together, and then straightened it.
Su Mo was in charge of filling the soil, and Zhao Xiaoying learned from the monks in the temple, with his hands folded, standing on one side.
At this time, the two had different thoughts, and Zhao Xiaoying was praying that the Black Wind Dao people could die as soon as possible. Su Mo buried a handful of soil, and scolded an old ghost in his heart.
......
......
It was already nightfall, and Su Mo and the others finally passed through the wasteland and returned to Bluestone Town smoothly.
"Brother Mo, then I'll go home first. ”
"Hmm. Su Mo nodded, speaking of which, this time I went to Danyang County to participate in the spring exam, and during the period, I encountered strange things like demons and ghosts, and it was already delayed for five or six days, and my mother should be worried.
He hurried home.
Walking through the streets and alleys, when I saw a small house, my heart finally relaxed.
The wooden door was not latched, and Su Mo pushed it open directly.
This is a small mansion in a very inconspicuous alley in Bluestone Town, with a total of three bungalows with black tiles and white walls.
There were still candles lit in the hall, and it was already around the end of the day, so if it was a normal day, Chen would probably have rested a long time ago.
But Su Mo is away from home, and the mother's heart is worried, and it will definitely be difficult to sleep.
"Mother, I'm back. He pushed the door open and said.
Chen's face was somewhat similar to Su Mo, just an ordinary-looking woman. Now Chen is nearly 50 years old, and he has a lot of wrinkles on his face.
"Mo'er, this time...... How's it going?"
"Whew. Su Mo felt a little guilty in his heart, first breathed a sigh of relief to ease his emotions, and then shook his head gently: "Mother, I haven't taken the township test, and I failed." ”
"Alas, is it hopeless for my son to be a lifter?" Chen's face was lost.
It's not that she hates that iron doesn't make steel, but that she worries about the future.
Now that the situation at home is so deplorable, if the mother leaves in the future, what will happen to Mo'er?
Finding a job to earn some money is barely enough to make ends meet. But you can't expect to marry a wife and have children, you can't let your children be singles for the rest of your life.
Su Mo saw that Chen was so depressed, he didn't know what she was thinking, and hurriedly relieved: "Mother, I am not the material for reading, I can always do something else, reading is not the only way out, going out to do things may not be worse than those who have taken the fame test." ”
"If others can become officials in big cities such as Xingning City and Beilu City, how can they be worse than you?"
Su Moxin said that in today's world, the status of civil officials is really not as good as that of military generals. You must know that the king of Shu respects the most martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes, and the so-called talented people have a significantly lower status.
But he just thought about it in his heart, but didn't refute it.
Chen sighed lightly and said, "Then you can tell me what you want to do, it's really not okay for my mother to give up her face and go to the sect family to get you an errand?"
"I'm not going. Su Mo shook his head. Judging from the impression in his memory, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed a lot by the Zong family since he fell into the middle of the family.
Although he is not a person who wants to die to save face and suffer crimes, he also does not want to make himself uncomfortable.
"And what are your plans?"
"Mother, I want to join a gang, and then I can learn some martial arts to defend myself. ”
"You, my mother is going to be angry with you. You know what the gangs do on a daily basis? It's to deal with some bandits and strongmen, and they are going to kill people at every turn. Chen said angrily, "My mother is just such a child as you, if you have three longs and two shorts, how can your mother live?"
"Mother, it's because of the chaos in the world that I want to join the gang. Don't you know, a few days ago, there were a few more murders in Danyang County, and we ordinary people can only be slaughtered in the face of those fierce people. If you want to protect yourself, learning some martial arts is the most basic. ”
"Also, what you said doesn't necessarily happen to me. I just be an ordinary gang member, and I get out of the gang when the opportunity is not good, how can I worry about my life?"
"Is this possible?" said Chen, worried.
"Why not?" Su Mo said.
"Then you have to make sure that joining the gang is to learn martial arts to protect yourself, and run away as soon as there is danger. ”
"Got it, I actually...... That's how it was intended. ”
Chen finally relented, and Su Mo was completely relieved.
He remembered that there was a branch of the Dajiang Gang in Qingshi Town, and he could go and get in touch with the people there when the time came.
