In winter, the morning sun is rising, but when it hits people, I only feel that I am drying my face and not feeling the slightest warmth.

Chen Mo sat on a chair in the main hall, holding a yellow earth cat in his arms, and a small black earth dog at his feet.

This cat and dog were all brought by Zhao Yu from someone else's house in the set, raising cats and rats, and raising dogs to take care of the home.

It's just that they're both too young now, and it's going to take a long time before they really work.

Chen Mo opened the porcelain bottle, took out a drop of nourishing liquid with internal force, gently broke the cat's mouth, and fed it.

Immediately he picked up the puppy again and fed it a drop as well.

The nourishing liquid is different from the mirage, and the qi and blood power contained in the mirage, no matter whether it can absorb it or not, the Molten Pearls will devour it completely.

And the nourishing liquid increases the divine sense, which can allow the martial artist to better open up the sea of knowledge.

Its power can only rely on itself to absorb refining.

Therefore, before that, I couldn't absorb it rashly, and I had to make sure that there was no hidden danger in the nourishing liquid.

Although a small amount of absorption did not bring harm to itself before, it is difficult to say in the future, so it is better to be safe.

"It's time to eat." Zhao Yu pushed the door and walked into the main hall.

"Okay." Chen Mo put down the cat and dog and let the two of them run away.

Zhao Yu walked up to him and helped him sweep away the cat hair and dog hair on his body.

"I have something to do today, so don't prepare my meal at noon."

Eating breakfast on the table, Chen Mo explained.

Since he had promised Wei Xia before that he would help her take care of her family, of course he should abide by the agreement and do it immediately.

Regardless of whether the nourishing liquid is useful to oneself or not, even if it is used again will cause hidden dangers to oneself.

But what he had already promised, Chen Mo would have done it, otherwise he would not have agreed to it in the first place.

"Okay, then I'll have some more dinner." Zhao Yu didn't ask what was the matter, and agreed with a smile.

She knew that Chen Mo would definitely have to go to work next, and he would definitely not have time to eat well when he was out at noon, so of course the dishes in the evening should be more sumptuous to reward him for his busy day.

After eating, drinking two pots of tea, Chen Mo took a break and went out of the house.

He didn't go alone by himself, it was easy to give the silver, but if he wanted Wei Xia's family to be able to hold the silver.

Then he had to call a few officials, and He Luoyun went with him.

The information that Chen Mo asked him to find before was all for him to do, and only he knew the specific situation of Wei Xia's family in the village.

First go to the barracks and order a few officials, and then let people go to find He Luoyun.

Not long after, He Luoyun hurried to the barracks with a few personal entourage.

"My lord, I don't know what you are calling the villain!" Seeing Chen Mo, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, bowed down and bowed.

During this time, backed by the big tree of Chen Mo, his business is getting bigger and bigger.

Transporting illicit salt was a huge profit, and he could only do these businesses, so it didn't take much effort for his business to expand rapidly.

"Do you remember the situation in Wei Xia's family that I asked you to check some time ago?" Chen Mo asked.

"Back to the adult, the villain remembers." He Luoyun hurriedly opened his mouth to answer, although he was a little curious about why Chen Mo suddenly mentioned this matter, but he didn't dare to ask more.

In fact, when Chen Mo asked him to investigate these things before, he was already quite curious in his heart, why did Chen Mo, as a seventh-rank official of the imperial court, have to investigate those haunted rumors.

But he was able to keep his mouth shut, not only did he not ask more, but he also did not say more.

This is also the reason why Chen Mo is willing to hand over these things to him, he can hide things in his heart.

"Okay, now take it to Wei Xia's house." Chen Mo turned over and got on the horse.

"Ahh He Luoyun was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, didn't dare to ask more, and rode a horse in front of Chen Mo to lead the way.

The remaining officials still had their own entourage, and they followed behind Chen Mo on horseback.

Eighty miles of road is said to be far away, said to be close to not close, riding a horse and galloping, that is, an hour's kung fu.

Shuangshi Village is named because there are two 10,000-pound stubborn stones at the entrance of the village.

There are no mountains in the vicinity, and no one knows where these two boulders came from.

Chen Mo and his entourage rode horses, and before they arrived at the entrance of the village, someone came to greet them.

More than a dozen people on horseback, and some people wearing official robes, were naturally extremely eye-catching, and they were noticed early.

"This lord, I am the chief of Shuangshi Village, I don't know who you are?" An old man in his fifties, dressed in a cotton suit with gray hair, looked respectful and bowed and asked.

"I am the head of the local salt transportation department, and I am here today to find a young man named Wei Dong."

Chen Mo lifted the old man by hand, not hiding his intentions.

"My lord, that Wei Dong is an honest child, he usually only begs for a living near our village, and he has never done anything harmful."

Hearing that Chen Mo came to find Wei Dong, the old man instinctively felt that there was nothing good.

After all, even if there is really a good thing, it will not be the turn of a poor man like Wei Dong who can't read big words and can only work hard.

"I came to him this time to thank their family." Chen Mo spoke out the manuscript that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Ahh The old man was also stunned, completely unexpected.

He Luoyun greeted him at this time, this place is not far from Zhuniuji, and it is also the scope of his business.

There are many young people in Shuangshi Village, and they all work under him to earn a living.

"Old security chief, don't hurry up and take Master Chen to Wei Dong's house."

After being reminded, the old man reacted and hugged Chen Mo all the way to the village.

Although I don't know why Chen Mo wants to thank the Wei family, I think this is also a good thing.

However, Chen Mo is an official, and he can't stop what he wants to do.

The thatched old house where Wei Dong's family lives is relatively spacious, but because there is no money to repair it, it looks relatively dilapidated.

He was burning the stove, and when he saw so many people coming, his honest and simple face was obviously a little dazed, and he couldn't reflect what was going on in front of him.

However, when he saw the official robe on Chen Mo's body, he still instinctively bowed and bowed.

"The official has something to talk to him privately, and he will also go and find his third sister Wei Qiu." Chen Mo looked at He Luoyun and explained.

"Hey!" He nodded in agreement and hurried to find someone.

"Your Excellency, ......" Wei Dong was stupid, obviously not knowing how to speak at this time.

When I saw that I walked into the house, I just hurriedly followed suit.

"Sit, sir." He hurriedly found a wide stool and carefully held it to Chen Mo.

As for his mother, she was huddled by the stove in the house.

The fire is not hot, only slightly heated.

Seeing Chen Mo walking into the house, she hurriedly saluted with trepidation.

"My lord, I don't know what you are doing when you come to our house!" Mother Wei's hair was gray, and she asked softly on crutches.

"Old man, you sit down first." Chen Mo smiled.

He could see that Wei Xia's mother did not have any stubborn diseases.

Or rather, there is only one disease, hunger.

The treatment is even simpler, eat more white flour and meat, and the body will naturally be raised.

"My lord, I don't know what you're looking for?" Wei Qiu looked frightened, and walked into the house to salute busily.

She is about 30 years old, and she is dressed in coarse cotton clothes, which is the most ordinary peasant costume.

Chen Mo waved his hand, the internal qi vibrate, and the door of the house closed immediately.

"Do you have a sister named Wei Xia, who was sold to the Zhuniuji Wang family seventeen years ago?" Chen Mo's gaze swept over the two and asked.

"Yes." Both of them nodded in agreement, although they were still young at that time, but they also remembered the incident very clearly.

"I have received help from your sister and promised to help her take care of you." Chen Mo spoke slowly.

The rest of the people in the room looked obviously sluggish, they really couldn't understand this, they wanted to ask, but they didn't dare to ask, so they had to look at each other.

Chen Mo didn't have any intention of explaining it to them, if he really wanted to explain, it would be too complicated for them.

"But your sister helped me with this, and I can't let too many people know. So if someone asks you, say that you have helped me. Chen Mo looked at Wei Dong and explained.

If the news of Wei Xia's help to himself is spread, then there will definitely be people who are suspicious.

As long as someone with a heart investigates a little, they can find that they were not in Zhuniuji at all seventeen years ago, and Wei Xia, who is alive, will not have the opportunity to help him.

And the value of ghosts is quite high, and both martial artists and qi refiners will be excited.

At that time, if this matter really spreads, it will inevitably cause trouble.

With Chen Mo's strength, although he is not afraid of most people who want to seek more ghosts, he also doesn't want to be idle, and takes the initiative to find a lot of trouble for himself.

"Ahh Wei Dong was still stunned, and he didn't react at all, what happened in front of him was really beyond his expectations.

Chen Mo didn't say anything more, giving them plenty of time to slowly accept this matter.

"My lord, my sister, did she really help you?" Wei Dong is honest, but he is not a fool, he really can't figure out how his sister should help Chen Mo.

But if his sister didn't help him, then why did the other party suddenly come to the door to find him.

This really made the second monk of his head scratch his head.

"Don't ask about this, anyway, she helped me, and I promised her to help her take care of her family." Chen Mo didn't answer this question.

"Thank you, sir!" Wei Mu was the first to react, bowed and thanked him.

Wei Qiu and Wei Dong also hurriedly reacted.

They didn't know what Wei Xia had helped Chen Mo.

Let them understand that after 17 years, their daughter and their sister have helped them again.

"Do not tell anyone what I am talking about today, not to anyone.

If someone asks, just say that they helped me, and don't say anything more if you ask. Chen Mo explained carefully to Wei Dong and the others.

"I know, I'm not going to tell anyone about it!" He nodded repeatedly.

Wei Mu and Wei Qiu also promised again and again that they would never tell anyone about this matter.

Seeing this, Chen Mo opened the door of the house and called He Luoyun Dao, "You go back and find someone to repair this house first, and wait for Kaichun to build a set of blue brick houses on it." ”

Chen Mo said and took out the silver tickets from his arms, He Luoyun naturally didn't dare to take them, and only after Chen Mo said one yard to one yard, he took these silver tickets.

"Besides, since the other man is working in your salt mines, you can help take care of it." Chen Mo pointed to Wei Qiudao again.

Her financial situation is a little better, but she can only eat enough, otherwise she would not have been able to help her younger brother.

"Hey, I'll give my men an order when I turn around." He Luoyun agreed repeatedly.

To arrange these things, Chen Mo took out two more broken silver bags that had been prepared long ago, each bag contained ten taels of broken silver, and handed them to the two of them respectively.

"If you collect this money well, you won't do a small business and keep it for a slow time."

"My lord, you have helped me a lot, and I dare not ask for this money again." Wei Dong didn't pick up the money bag again, and refused in a deep voice.

"The tael is not mine, but was left in my hand by your eldest sister, and is now being returned to you." Chen Mo opened his mouth and threw two bags of silver to the two of them.

"Go back and give two taels of silver to Wei Dong from my account every month, so that he can support his old wife at home with peace of mind." Chen Mo looked at He Luoyun again.

Two taels of silver is not a small amount, even in the vicinity of Zhuniuji, a strong laborer is busy for a month, and he will get one, two, three or four dollars.

After doing these things, Chen Mo did not leave, and was left in the village to entertain.

Before leaving, Wei's mother handed him a package.

"My lord, my daughter died in a well, and she didn't even have a body. You also live in Zhuniuji, I have some things here, I hope you can help burn it for her. ”

At this, tears glistened in her cloudy eyes.

"Okay." Chen Mo took the package and agreed.

Then drive back to Zhuniuji, the sun has begun to gradually decline.

In winter, it always gets dark too early, as if urging people to go to bed early.

The cats and dogs that had been fed the nourishing liquid before are still normal.

Even because of the nourishment of their senses, they seem to be more alert than usual.

Back home, Chen Mo did not rush to find Wei Xia, but still carefully observed the cats and dogs that had been fed the nourishing liquid.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with them, Chen Mo walked into the practice room and took out the heart he had hunted in the mirage before.

Although it is out of the mirage, it is still jumping, but it is dancing very slowly.
