"Official, why don't you build a fire, and the little ones can warm up when they pass by."

Chu Mu was wandering around, and an old servant cautiously stepped forward and prayed.

"Okay."

Chu Mu glanced at the old man in front of him, and then pointed to the tree where he usually sits.

"I have a little firewood there, you can bring it and light it."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

The old requisition nodded busily, as if Chu Mu had done a great deal of goodness.

Chu Mu waved his hand and didn't say anything more.

To the extent permissible, he did not mind giving these conscripts some convenience.

Of course, it's just within the scope of permission, and more, he won't do it.

As for the tasteless thing of using this skin to play prestige on these hard-working people and find a sense of existence, he really can't do it.

"I don't know if I'll survive this winter."

Chu Mu looked at the busy servants, if he remembered correctly, the few conscripts he was responsible for were all conscripted at the end of summer, according to the practice of half-year conscription, as long as he survived this winter, he could go home with peace of mind.

If nothing else, in the next two years, they will not have to serve in forced labor, and they can live their own lives comfortably.

"Hopefully......"

Pastor Chu exhaled, looked around the snow-covered mine, and then silently returned to the fire and sat down.

The old conscripts who had just arrived seemed to have added a few sticks of firewood to the fire, and the bonfire was blazing, the heat wave was steaming, and a bit of chill was suddenly removed.

Chu Mu moved his body, found a comfortable place to sit down, took out the book in his arms, and studied it page by page.

The morning passed.

At the meal, a few conscripts gathered around the fire, gobbling up the frozen nest.

Compared with the food that has not changed for 10,000 years in the conscription, the food for the inspection is naturally much richer.

Five dishes and one soup, unlimited and full, only the price of three copper, is almost equal to a free gift.

"Brother Mu'er, why do you eat so much?"

Chu Mu gulped the food, and Xu Yuan couldn't help muttering on the side.

"It's okay."

Chu Mu glanced at the food in front of him, and after a long period of martial arts, the amount of food seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

But eating more means growing faster.

In more than a month, it seems to have grown stronger, and the thin appearance of the original owner before is almost history.

"By the way, go to my house for dinner in the evening, and have something to do with you."

Chu Mu took a bite of the food and suddenly looked up and said.

"Okay, but what's the matter?"

"Sparring!"

Chu Mu swallowed his meal: "Accompany me to practice martial arts!" ”

Xu Yuan hurriedly explained: "I haven't practiced martial arts......"

"It's fine."

Chu Mu waved his hand: "Who wouldn't take a stick to whip someone!" ”

"Okay."

Xu Yuan responded, and still looked around dishonestly after eating.

Chu Mu was a little helpless: "You eat when you eat, what do you look everywhere?" ”

Xu Yuan hurriedly pointed out of the dining hall: "No, Brother Mu'er, look, it's dead again!" ”

"Dead?"

Chu Mu was stunned, and as Xu Yuan pointed out, several corpses wrapped in straw mats were piled together, which was very dazzling.

"I guess there was another accident somewhere."

Chu Mu glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and continued to pull the food.

In this mine, it is not uncommon for people to die in accidents every three or five times.

"I'll take a look."

Xu Yuan couldn't suppress his curiosity, dropped a sentence, and trotted away.

After a while, Xu Yuan ran back out of breath again, and mysteriously approached Chu Mu's side: "Brother Mu'er, he froze to death, and his corpse is covered with frost!" ”

Chu Mu's heart tightened, and he subconsciously looked out of the door again, only to see that the piled corpses were covered with another layer of straw mats.

"Impossible, right?"

Chu Mu frowned, obviously a little surprised.

How long has it been since the heavy snow came, but in a day or two, there were conscripts who froze to death so soon?

Xu Yuan hurriedly explained: "I'm absolutely not mistaken, it's really frosty......"

"I'll go see ......"

Chu Mu got up, and as soon as the dishes and chopsticks were put down, a hurried shout sounded outside the dining hall.

"The third and fourth teams are all out!"

"Come out and assemble!"

"What's wrong?"

"Why don't you let people eat!"

"Lao Tzu just finished cooking, and he didn't eat a bite!"

With this shout, the entire canteen suddenly burst into chaos.

Chu Mu was slightly stunned, and he didn't stop taking a step, greeted Xu Yuan, and then walked quickly towards the outside of the canteen.

"Two hundred households have arrived!"

As soon as he arrived outside the dining hall, Xu Yuan immediately leaned around Chu Mu to make a sound.

Chu Mu glanced at the two hundred figures who were shouting outside the dining hall, and his face was puzzled.

The inspection office has a total of two hundred households, and naturally there are only two hundred households.

As far as he knew, these two hundred households also had different duties, one was in charge of the mine, and the other was in charge of the town's guards.

It's rare to see one on weekdays, but today two of them appear together?

If it is the leader of the team, the inspectors will inevitably ask about it, but two hundred adults gather in such a scene, obviously few dare to gag.

One by one, they gathered in front of the dining hall, and then led by a hundred of them, they headed down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there were dozens of inspectors waiting, and when they saw the team coming, a captain led by a captain stepped forward to talk to hundreds of households, and then led dozens of inspectors to join the team.

With such a change, the already talkative team is even more noisy, asking around one by one, obviously a little overwhelmed.

"Brother Mu'er, why don't I feel right, this is going out of town!"

"What the hell are you going to do!"

"I don't know."

Chu Mu shook his head, then seemed to think of something, and turned his head to look at Xu Yuan: "Don't run around, remember to follow me!" ”

"Brother Mu'er, don't worry."

Xu Yuan was obviously also a little nervous, changed his previous active appearance, and followed Chu Mu closely.

When the team left Nanshan Town, the noisy team suddenly quieted down, Chu Mu looked out, and saw that at the intersection in front of him, surrounded by several horses, a figure wearing a Chinese armor cloak was also extremely conspicuous.

This figure was obviously the reason why the team was instantly quiet.

For ordinary inspections, hundreds of households are already on top, and the thousands of households who are the county lieutenants of Qinghe County are naturally the undoubted days of all inspections!

The figure in front of him is obviously the county lieutenant of Qinghe County, Li Jinghong of the Qianhu of the inspection office.

"Tell the news to the brethren, so that the brethren will have a bottom in their hearts."

"Let's go!"

He Ping, who led the team, just trotted in front of Li Jinghong, Li Jinghong waved his hand carelessly, lightly reins, and rode past He Ping.

"Obedience!"

He Ping responded with a fist, then turned to look at the inspection, and with an order, the team set off again.

But at this time, with the order of Qianhu, the noise in the team sounded again, and the reason for such a movement also came to the ears of every inspection.
