Chapter XIV Status

"I'll do it, Brother Mo, you can go and do something else." Ma Cai took the initiative to take over the dung truck in Chen Mo's hand.

"Okay, let's go and get back quickly." Chen Mo didn't shirk too much.

Ma Cai pushed the cart and rushed all the way to the outside of the barracks.

Chen Mo went to the shack to steam his head as before, which was already a very skilled thing for him.

After he had cleaned up all the chores he had to do in the afternoon, Ma Cai and Ding Bao returned.

"Master Chen, Captain Wang has set up a banquet and invites you and Ma Cai to the banquet together." A soldier walked outside the barracks where Chen Molu lived and shouted softly.

Chen Mo doesn't have any official position now, and his rank is in his body, but in terms of status, he must be higher than him.

After all, General Sun's personal soldiers can have an equal relationship with the captain.

He didn't dare to call Chen Mo by his name, and he didn't know how to call Chen Mo, so he could only use the word adult after thinking about it.

It may be a mistake to call it, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, I'll go later." Chen Mo walked out of the barracks and replied.

He didn't know the captain well, but now that the other party sent someone to invite him, he couldn't help but go.

Ma Cai followed behind Chen Mo honestly, he knew that the captain was mainly inviting Chen Mo, and he went to be just a foil.

Walking all the way to the barracks where the lieutenant lived, two meats, two vegetables, four cold dishes and four hot stir-fried dishes had been placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, as well as two hard dishes of braised elbow and stewed mutton.

Not counting the drinks, just buying a table like this will cost seven or eight dollars of silver.

"Chen Mo is here! Hurry up and get seated! Captain Wang's tone was warm and close, if he didn't know, I was afraid that he would think that he was very familiar with Chen Mo.

The reason why he invited Chen Mo to come today was that he really didn't have too much thought, he just wanted to get acquainted with Chen Mo and make friends.

Chen Mo's natural strength is far beyond ordinary people, and he has become General Sun's personal soldier, if he has achievements in the future, then he will make money by befriending him today.

You don't need a good relationship, as long as you know each other, so that if you ask for Chen Mo one day, you can go to the door to give a gift.

Even if Chen Mo doesn't achieve anything, it doesn't matter if he even disappears, because now that he befriends Chen Mo, he doesn't need to pay too much.

"Captain." Chen Mo bowed his hand, and then he was seated.

In addition to him and Ma Cai, Captain Wang also brought a personal soldier to accompany them, and they were not very familiar with each other, and at first they just chatted about some trivial things, but with a few glasses of water and wine, the atmosphere became lively and harmonious.

Chen Mo walked out of the lieutenant's barracks with a red face and red ears, and Ma Cai followed behind him, his figure swaying from side to side.

"Gross!" Ma Cai had just taken a few steps out of the barracks when he grabbed a big tree and couldn't stop vomiting.

Although Chen Mo said that he was drinking, his eyes were still clear, he dared not drink too much, and now he was drunk, but at most five points.

This time, he ate a lot of meat, and the food was transformed into wisps of qi and blood by him, except for a part that was supplied to himself first, the rest flowed into the Mortal Bead and stored.

Now that his body has undergone a rebirth, if he wants to perform a second time, he needs several times more qi and blood than the first time.

And his physical body is strong, and the amount of qi and blood consumed every day is also more.

It takes a long time to accumulate enough qi and blood just by eating some ordinary coarse grains.

This process can only be accelerated by eating more nutritious foods, such as meat, and lots of meat.

After eating only one meal of meat today, he could clearly perceive that the speed of qi and blood accumulation had accelerated.

If you can eat meat every day in the future, even if it is not a lot, the speed will be much faster than eating food every day.

"Let's go, if you don't leave, there will be curfew immediately." Chen Mo walked to Ma Cai's side and picked him up with one hand.

He didn't want to spend the night out now, so he hurried back to the house before curfew and stayed in peace.

Ma Cai looked up blankly, Chen Mo carried him back to the barracks and threw him on the bed, and sat back on his bed.

He took out two ingots and five taels of silver from his arms, one of which was given to him by Mo Hu before, and it was the settlement fee given by General Sun.

If there are family members, Chen Mo can use the five taels of silver to settle them first.

Five taels of silver can already buy one acre of land in today's year. Of course, these five taels of silver can only buy Nakata, and Ueda and paddy fields will definitely not be able to afford it.

But even so, it's not a small amount.

As for the other five taels of silver, it was given to him by Captain Wang before, and he didn't ask for anything, only saying that Chen Mo had gone out of his barracks and given some silver, so that he could go to General Sun's tent to settle down.

Chen Mo knew what Captain Wang meant, so he didn't refuse the money.

In the future, if he can really get out of the way, Captain Wang will come to the door and ask him for help, for the sake of the silver, as long as it is not too difficult, he will help.

Touching the silver in his hand, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was a disaster victim a few months ago, and he was worried that he would starve to death every day.

Who would have thought that in just a few months, he would become General Sun's personal soldier, and he also had a full ten taels of silver in his arms.

Chen Mo didn't plan to save this money, ten taels of silver was not enough to redeem Zhao Yu, and there was still a full ten taels missing.

It was not easy to scrape together another ten taels of silver.

Rather than having a penny in your hand and worrying about losing it, it is better to spend it and transform it into your own strength as much as possible.

As long as he is reborn again, his own strength will inevitably increase again, and at that time, he will make a name for himself in the pro-military camp, or find a half-official position, then it will be much easier to redeem Zhao Yu again.

Maybe you don't even need a tael of silver, you can directly redeem Zhao Yu.

And he can't afford not to spend money, and if he doesn't buy anything, he won't even be able to survive this winter.

If he didn't buy shoes, he would have to walk barefoot immediately.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation don't need money, as long as people are still panting, then they have to spend money!

As for the money to spend if you don't gasp, it only depends on the children and grandchildren.

Putting the two ingots of silver into his arms, Chen Mo lay on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, the light was faint, and the sound of gongs and drums sounded again in the barracks, urging the soldiers to get up.

Chen Mo carried the silver with him, washed up briefly, and saw two soldiers with raw faces honestly staying outside the stable.

"What are you doing?" Chen Mo asked suspiciously.

"Back to the adult, the captain said that you and Ma Cai are about to leave, and ordered the two of us to take over the horse for you." Hearing his inquiry, one of the soldiers hurriedly replied.

Feeding the horses is a technical job, but it is also a hard job, Chen Mo and they are gone, and someone has to make up for it immediately to help with the coolies.

"Brother Mo, these two will be handed over to me." Ding Bao leaned over and said.

Chen Mo nodded lightly and didn't bother with the matter anymore.

"Brother Mo, since we don't have to be busy, why don't we go to Baiqiao Town today?" Ma Cai suggested with a smile.

Someone came to take their place, and they were free.

"Okay." Chen Mo nodded, even if Ma Cai didn't say it, he planned to take time to go to the town to buy some things today.

Seeing that he agreed to this, Ma Cai was a little irrepressible excited, he had been in the barracks for so long, and the most he could go to the market on weekdays was to have a look, or the rally that was about to end.

And he was especially happy to finally be able to go to town today.

The two informed Officer Homa and left the barracks together.
