Chapter 357: Selling Yourself to Bury Your Mother
After years of warlord warfare, the ancient Xuanguo finally ushered in the so-called peace.
The reason for this is the so-called peace.
The reason is that this peace is only for the capitalist merchants, and the order is initially established at the national level.
However, the oppression of the people at the bottom by the big capitalists, big landlords, and gang compradors has not stopped.
The so-called peaceful and prosperous era is nothing more than a re-whitewash on the ruins like dross.
Chen Mo and Fat Brother, because the pigpen city was no longer there, had no choice but to leave, walking on this street full of ragged poor people, doing nothing.
The situation here is in stark contrast to the North Sea Kingdom.
Although there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in both countries, because the overall development of Beihai is relatively good, even the poor people at the bottom are generally okay.
When Chen Mo came back to his senses again, the fat brother had already stopped beside a woman who was bowing her head and crying.
In front of her, a sign was placed.
"Selling yourself to bury your mother?"
Chen Mo was stunned.
Especially after noticing this woman's face, although she cried so much, she couldn't hide her delicate and delicate face, no wonder the fat brother on the side couldn't help but come over to join in the fun.
It's not just the fat guy, it's full of people.
Chen Mo is quite familiar with this bridge.
He couldn't help but glance at the so-called deceased mother behind the woman, and after noticing that this mother, although she seemed to have no breath, still had an extremely weak heartbeat, she showed a thoughtful look.
I don't know if she had some strange disease that made the girl still unaware that her mother was still not dead, or if the mother and daughter teamed up to deceive people and defraud ill-gotten gains.
"Little sister, how much do you need to bury your mother?"
The fat brother couldn't help but ask out loud with his thick accent.
When the woman who lowered her head and sobbed heard this, she slowly raised her head and looked at the fat brother with teary eyes.
"My mother suffered a lot during her lifetime, and I couldn't let her live a good life until she died, so after she died, I must let her be buried in a grand manner, at least 200 yuan."
200 yuan is not a small amount for the people at the bottom of the ancient Xuan Kingdom.
At the beginning, Chen Mo and Xuanzong were dock workers, and they were only paid 1 yuan a day, and it took more than half a year to get together 200 yuan without eating or drinking.
But in reality, this is simply not possible.
Regardless of the issue of food and drink, the squeeze of the gang is not a small amount.
Of course.
This is not a problem for rich people with a huge gap between the rich and the poor, for example, the luxury hotel where Fat Brother and Chen Mo live now needs 5 yuan a day.
When the fat brother heard this, his face suddenly burst into laughter.
"I'm a person, I can't get used to seeing someone fall into trouble and die and can't be saved, I'll give 200 yuan, bury your mother beautifully, and then take care of my son, so that he doesn't be naughty, do you think it?"
When the poor people around saw this, they couldn't help but sigh, and some people applauded.
When the woman heard this, she immediately kowtowed.
"Thank you, sir, for your great kindness, you are such a good person, as long as I can give my mother a beautiful burial, I will make you a cow and a horse."
"Haha, haha, haha!"
In the applause of the audience, the fat brother smiled honestly and happily, and kept giving his hand.
Chen Mo, who was standing beside him, suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed a dirty little hand, which was reaching out to the fat brother's pocket, and he didn't notice it at all.
The yellow-skinned child looked terrified.
Chen Mo snorted coldly, glanced around, and casually gave him five cents, signaling him not to come again.
The frightened little boy looked surprised and puzzled.
He glanced at Chen Mo deeply, bowed, and disappeared into the crowd.
Two minutes later.
The fat brother gave his address to the girl who sold himself to bury his mother and handed her 200 yuan, while Chen Mo sighed.
"I think you've probably been deceived by her."
When the fat brother heard this, his face was suspicious.
"Won't it?"
He stopped and looked in the direction the girl had disappeared.
The fat brother is not stupid, the more he thinks about it, the more wrong he becomes, he seems to be really confused for a while, and he was deceived by the other party, and he suddenly showed an angry look.
"I'm the most honest person, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, but if people offend me, I'll make him a prisoner, it just so happens that I made an appointment with the police chief for dinner tonight, if she doesn't come back then, I want her!"
Chen Mo rolled his eyes when he heard this.
This guy has lived in Beihai Country for a long time, and he has not fully adapted to the life of Gu Xuanguo.
"In this case, you call a rickshaw, be careful on the road, I'll keep an eye on them, and get the money back when the time comes."
"It's okay, brother, you do things, brother, I am the most relieved, come back early for dinner, and I will introduce the director to you."
The fat brother seems to be a little weak-hearted.
After he stopped a rickshaw, he didn't forget to remind him.
"If there is no news, it doesn't matter, don't tell my wife when you come back, my wife is a person who likes to think nonsense the most, you know, I am a warm-hearted person, and I just helped her out of kindness, and there is absolutely no wrong thought."
Seeing him patting his chest and looking serious, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel funny, and hurriedly waved his hand to him.
Seeing this, the fat brother couldn't help but smile and motioned for the rickshaw master to leave.
……
Half an hour later.
In a slum, a woman dragged her mother back with hard work.
I saw that her mother, who had already died of illness, suddenly sat up on the bed.
"Hurry up and get a glass of water, I've been waiting for a long time, and I've finally waited for a fool, the old lady is about to die of thirst, girl, have you become ugly recently, why can't you catch a rich man?"
"It's not your fault!"
The girl who was originally pear blossoms with rain was quite alert and delicate after cleaning up.
"If you don't say that the other neighborhoods have been deceived by us, you have to let me go to this street, the people here are as poor as us, you let me cheat the ghosts?"
Then.
A figure slowly appeared, standing at the door of the house, it was Chen Mo, who had been following him for a long time, and he looked at his deceased mother who was drinking water.
"I've never heard that a dead man drinks water."
When my mother heard this, she was stunned.
The daughter on the side suddenly reacted, and her face changed greatly.
"He's the bodyguard next to that guy just now!"
The mother's face changed, and she suddenly jumped up from the bed, stood with the girl, and put on a battle alert posture towards Chen Mo.
Although the moves of the two of them seem to have noses and eyes, in Chen Mo's eyes, they are no different from flower fists and embroidered legs.
These two people are diametrically opposed to Chen Mo.
For the profession of martial artist, Chen Mo only practiced internal strength, but did not practice moves, while these two people only practiced moves, but did not practice internal strength.
"Girl, you attack him on three ways!"
Let's talk about it.
The two formed a cooperation and attacked Chen Mo.
The so-called three ways refer to the eyes, ears, and nose respectively, but because the girl's physical fitness is not high, for Chen Mo, the attack is no different from scratching the boots.
As for this mother, the lower three ways of attack are the heart, abdomen, and pubic area.
Although his punching speed is not slow, he seems to have consciously avoided his own vital point, which is equivalent to Maomao boxing for Chen Mo.
"Stop playing."
After a simple move, Chen Mo grabbed one in one hand and threw it on the bed.
Seeing this, the two girls instinctively covered their bodies, with a look of panic on their faces, for fear that Chen Mo would do something wrong.
Chen Mo rolled his eyes.
"My boss is a good man, he just came back from abroad, I don't think you are a bad person, return his money, and this matter will be over."
When the two girls saw this, they immediately looked sad and sad.
The girl pouted, "Rich people say they are good people. ”
The mother also showed a sad face, knowing that Chen Mo was not a bad person, and sighed.
"You took all the money, we can talk, but what about the children?"
"Kid?"
When Chen Mo heard this, he couldn't help but look out of the room, but saw a big yellow and thin head sticking out from all corners and looking at him timidly.
"Uncle."
A little boy took the crumpled five-cent, looked surprised, ashamed, and grateful, and said, "Thank you, you are a good person." ”
"Xiaoli, come here."
The girl seemed to be a little worried that Chen Mo would hurt the little boy, so she hurriedly called over, and it was not until the little boy told Chen Mo about it that she showed a look of surprise and looked Chen Mo up and down.
This made Chen Mo frown slightly.
"What's going on?"
Alas.
Mother sighed.
"These are the orphans left behind in the pig pen city, their parents died in that chaos, I think they are pitiful, so I took them in."
"Orphans in the Pigpen Walled City?"
In Chen Mo's shock, she told about what happened half a year ago.
"Half a year ago, the people of Tianxingmen came to the pigpen city walled city, chased a man named Gao Bo, and asked him to hand over a secret book called "Three Provinces and My Body". I heard that he has been incognito in the pigpen city for many years, and he usually disguises himself as a cripple and sells steamed buns in the pig pen walled city......"
When Chen Mo heard this, his face was solemn.
The lame man who sold steamed buns turned out to be a hidden transformation master, which is indeed incredible.
"And then?"
"Later, Gao Bo appeared, he persuaded hard, saying that "Three Provinces and My Body" would cause endless disasters, and the former Great Xuanguo was because of these heroic mental methods, and then the lives were devastated, but the people of Tianxingmen did not listen to the advice, and the two sides fought, and the pigpen city was destroyed in the battle."
"Ugh."
When Chen Mo heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
As for the Tianxing Gate.
Chen Mo is not easy to judge what this sect has done, and it is likely that it should be an extremist organization similar to a hive.
"And later?"
"And then ...... I heard that Gao Bo fell into madness because his wife and children were killed, and began to kill the local gangs controlled by Tianxingmen, until the head of Tianxingmen came to the city that never sleeps, and Gao Bo was forcibly taken away by Tianxingmen, and there was no news. ”
When Chen Mo heard this, his face was lost.
He suddenly thought of something and shouted outside, "Who is Tao Lan's child?" ”
Seeing that no one answered, Chen Mo asked three times in a row before a little girl walked out timidly.
Chen Mo was on her body, and sure enough, he saw Xiaolan's shadow.
"Your mother is a good person."
Then he raised his arms and said loudly: "Today's lunch, I will have a treat, all the children will come with me, I will invite everyone to eat!" ”
