A ray of morning light broke through the night and sprinkled on the magnificent ancient city walls.

The Great Xuan Dynasty has been established for nearly a thousand years, the government of the officials is corrupt, the bureaucracy is corrupt, and the faint golden light illuminates this county town, illuminating every magnificent or dilapidated building, but it does not illuminate the dark and rotten people's hearts.

Chen Mu was wearing a standard errand uniform, with a broad-bladed broadsword at his waist, walking between the narrow alleys, the pungent smell of blood permeating the air, making him frown slightly.

I walked a little further.

On both sides of the open road, there were seven or eight corpses lying horizontally and vertically, their appearance was very tragic, as if they had been cut by a random knife, almost not human, and there was even a lot of flesh and blood on the wall of one side.

"Hey, it's the Black Sand Gang, it seems to be all wiped out now."

Another officer standing next to Chen Mu sighed and said, "No one dared to provoke this Black Sand Gang in this area a year ago, but after the one above them fell, it decayed step by step, and now even a few kittens have been wiped out." ”

"Shhhh

The third officer made a silent gesture, then picked up the guy and stepped forward, ready to clear the street.

Chen Mu looked at the tragic scene and frowned, but in the end he just shook his head.

In the two years he had been in this world, he had seen such a scene more than once, and this seemingly magnificent county town was in fact a chaotic place of chaos, strife, and killing.

Gang fights like this are common in the presence of people everywhere, even in the superficially majestic 'inner city', corpses are thrown out of it every day, and these servants say that they are on errands, but in fact they are responsible for sweeping the floor afterwards.

Chen Mu once saw that a colleague said a few more words because he was drunk, but the next day the corpse appeared inexplicably in the ditch, and the above didn't care much at all, and didn't even ask.

Sweeping!

Chen Mu raised his sleeve and fanned it, driving away the pungent smell of blood, and then followed a few colleagues.

In fact, in this chaotic county town, the work of the errand is already very good, as long as you don't talk nonsense, don't care about idle things, don't contradict your boss, and honestly keep to yourself, you are basically safe, unlike those poor people who are scared.

To be able to get the job of an errand officer, thanks to his father, who had never met a few times, his father was an old errand and knew some people, and when he was seriously ill, he managed to arrange for him to work as an errand officer, and then he died.

It's just that.

In the end, the work of this errand did not allow 'Chen Mu' to live for long, and then a serious illness also died, and now Chen Mu is no longer the original him, but from the earth, a soul also named Chen Mu, inherited this identity.

Although Chen Mu was just a small person in his previous life, he had been crawling at the bottom for many years, at least he had the ability to observe words and know words, so even if he suddenly came to this strange world, he quickly stabilized and spent two years peacefully.

Several people stepped forward to work for a while, and disposed of the corpses separately.

Chen Mu, like several others, pretended to clean up while groping around the corpse casually...... This kind of touching the corpse is basically a tacit understanding that they don't have to say, although it is generally difficult to touch anything, basically there is silver and it has already been taken away, but if you are lucky, you can occasionally pick up a little leak.

For those of them who are poor at the bottom, even if they can pick up a few scattered copper plates, it is worth being happy.

Chen Mu fumbled in the clothes of the corpse he had handled, but it turned out to be empty, and at the same time, he caught a glimpse of his accomplice Liu San not far away, who didn't know what to put in his pocket.

"Why don't I have it every time?"

Chen Mu was a little puzzled in his heart, the corpses he had disposed of in the past two years had to be two hundred, if not three hundred, but none of them could touch the silver, and there was almost no silver money, only two or three times in total, and the amount was very small, only a few copper plates scattered.

Everyone has a tacit understanding, and he won't ask Liu San more about what he touched, but it is obviously in stock.

Chen Mu, who was a little unbelieving, dealt with the corpse on his side, touched it all the way down, and suddenly felt a strange touch, but he really touched something, which seemed to be a paper booklet.

Chen Mu's heart suddenly sank.

You can take silver money or something, and if you have a valuable pendant such as a jade pendant, you can also take it casually, but strange things can't be taken casually, especially this kind of paper thing, I don't know if it will cause trouble.

But after hesitating for a moment, Chen Mu still picked it up a little, and glanced at the booklet he touched along the gap, but saw that it was a somewhat tattered yellow paper booklet, which could be vaguely seen...... Wind knife method'.

"Hmm."

Chen Mu's heart moved slightly, but his hand quietly covered his movements, and quietly put away the booklet.

If there are any account books, maps and other things found on the corpse, it is best to treat it as not knowing, first, it is useless to him, and secondly, it may cause trouble, but if it is a broken knife technique, it should not be too much of a problem, and most of it is not wanted by others, otherwise it would have been taken away by the murderer at night.

Liu San and the others also noticed Chen Mu's movements, but after glancing at each other, they didn't come to ask a tacit understanding.

"Let's go!"

Several people were busy working back and forth, moving the body to a small wooden cart, and then pushing the cart out of the city.

Not far north of the city is a mass grave.

Chen Mu and Liu San, Li Liu and others, transported the corpse all the way to the place, and then threw it on the spot, and there was no need to bury it, there were wild wolves here at night, just fed the wolves, and hunted a few more when they were free in the coming day, and sold a few wolf skins to eat and drink.

Of course, the fact is that the three of them are not willing to stay outside the city for a long time, and in the city they are still a little useful, and when they go to the outside of the city, there is a shortage of soldiers, who cares who is who, and it will be more dangerous to stay for a quarter of an hour.

Several people hurriedly threw away the corpse and returned all the way to the city, until they entered the city, and several people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chen Er, what do you say today, let's eat and drink together?"

Liu San looked at Chen Mu with a smile and asked.

He is actually not called Liu San, but his surname is Liu, and his single name is 'Song', but he is the third in the family, so he is called so, Chen Mu has an elder brother who died early, and he is the second in the family, so others also call him Chen Er.

"Nope."

Chen Mu waved his hand.

Drinking wine and eating meat, hooking the bar and listening to music, of course he also wanted to, but he was really shy.

The job of the errand servant is said to be relatively stable, but in fact, he can't get a few silver coins, and he is basically deducted by the officials above, and what he gets is barely enough to eat and drink on weekdays.

What's more, Chen Mu's family now has a sister who is seven years younger than him, and she has to hide at home all day long and dare not go out, which is equivalent to one more person to support, far less than Liu San and others, who have a good family background.

Liu Song looked at Chen Mu, who was about to leave, smiled and said: "Chen Er, your sister is almost at the age of getting married, why don't I help you find a way, let her marry a rich family, and in the future, you will have no worries about food and clothing, you can also get a sum of money, and your life can be much more comfortable, what do you think?" ”

With Chen Mu's colleagues for several years, he knows Chen Mu's situation, Chen Mu's father was seriously ill, in order to treat the disease, he spent his family clean, and now he can't get a few dollars in front of the poor people, and he has to raise a sister who is inconvenient to go out to work, it can only be said that compared to the poor people at the lower level, there is no shortage of food, and he will not be hungry, but other aspects are not satisfactory.

When Chen Mu heard Liu Song's words, the smiling face of an innocent little girl appeared in his mind, smiled slightly, and said, "Wait two more years, she is still too young." ”

When he came to this world, his body was still seriously ill, and only Chen Yue, who was only twelve years old, was by his side, handing him water and feeding him, so that his body slowly improved.

Although he didn't have the relationship of the previous twelve years, but in the two years of getting along, he had already recognized this sister, not to mention that he was a newcomer, and it was impossible to do anything to exchange her for money, that kind of behavior was really no different from a beast.

"Okay, if you have an idea, just tell my brother."

Liu Song was not reluctant, patted Chen Mu's shoulder with a smile, and then took Li Liu to eat and drink.

Temporarily separated from Liu Song and others, Chen Mu walked along the alleyway, first arrived at the street, took out ten Xuan coins at the corner of the street, bought two rough noodles steamed buns, and then went home.

"This price ......"

Chen Mu weighed the little Xuan money left in his pocket and shook his head slightly.

According to the memory of the past, more than ten years ago, one Xuan Qian could buy a steamed bun, but now it has risen to five, not that the price of steamed bread has risen, but that Xuan Qian has been cast by various private and random casting, and it has gradually begun to be worthless.

This also directly affected his lowest errand servant, because the silver money issued has always been settled according to Xuan Qian, although in recent years the symbolic increase has been consistent, but compared to the decline in the value of Xuan Qian, it is simply impossible to make up for it.

I don't know who the missing part has fallen into.

Soon.

Chen Mu returned to his home in this world.

It is located on the outskirts of Nancheng District, which is a row of dilapidated tiled wooden houses where the slum is located, and it is said that it is a row, but in fact there are two rooms in total, one firewood room is used for cooking and piling up sundries, and the other bedroom is used for people.
