Chapter 21: Sluggishness

"Brother Chen, please take care of me in the future."

The two errands who followed Min Baoyi saw Min Baoyi turn around and leave, and only then did they smile at Chen Mu and speak, and their tones did not dare to be big at all.

Although both of them are older than Chen Mu, they are 'Brother Chen' as soon as they open their mouths, and they don't even dare to shout this in front of Min Baoyi, after all, Min Baoyi is the one who makes Chen Mu call him 'brother', and they are not qualified to call him a brother and a brother.

"You're welcome."

Chen Mu gave up his hand at the two of them.

He naturally knows these two, one is surnamed Wang, and the other is surnamed Zhong, because he is not in charge of his errand, so he didn't have much intersection in the past, and occasionally he had to bow his head when he met him, but now he not only took the initiative to show goodwill, but even lowered his posture.

"Brother Chen has something to do, go back first, I'll deal with it here."

Wang Chatou said to Chen Mu with a smile.

Chen Mu was not too polite, arched his hand, and walked directly into his door.

And as soon as he left.

Wang Chatou turned his head to look at Wang Zhao and the others, the smile on his face immediately turned cold, and he raised his hand to slap Wang Zhao's face, and said: "What is not long-eyed, it is still the same family as Lao Tzu, and Brother Chen is also a character you can provoke?" Get up for Lao Tzu! ”

Wang Zhao and the others wept with sad faces, and followed Wang Chatou resignedly.

At this time,

The whole alley, which seemed to be solidified, gradually dissolved, and behind the closed doors, a pair of eyes peeking out of the cracks in the doors moved to look at each other, and there was still a look of shock in their eyes.

As neighbors in the same street and alley, they naturally know Chen Mu, but the impression in the past is that he is a poor and white drudger, who knows that today there is thunder on the ground, which one is this?

But although it is not clear how Chen Mu got acquainted with a high-ranking figure like Min Baoyi, everyone knows in their hearts that Chen Mu from now on will be completely different.

Distance.

Several members of the Chijin Gang who heard the news watched the whole process of this farce, and immediately looked at each other, and then turned around and left quickly.

They have to report this matter to the incense master and the helper quickly, a character who suddenly appeared and can make Min Baoyi call him a brother and sister is definitely extraordinary, it is not a small incident.

"The son of the old Chen family is going to soar."

A thin old man sitting at the mouth of the alley, holding a dry tobacco pouch, watched Chen Mu's door become quiet again, spit out a puff of smoke and sighed, then stood up, took a cigarette stick and gently tapped the board as he walked, humming as he walked:

"The flowers are similar every year...... People are different every year......"

The figure gradually disappeared into the alley.

……

Another alley mouth.

Zhang Hai's somewhat bloated half of his body was hidden behind the mud wall, and at this moment the whole person seemed to be glued together with the mud wall, frozen there motionless, and a pair of small eyes were full of dull looks.

My heart was even more dazed and chaotic.

He came very early, and after watching the whole thing, he wanted to come to see Chen Mu's jokes, but what happened took a turn for the worse with the appearance of Min Baoyi.

Ben was shocked that Min Baoyi, a dignified errand priest, would appear in such a place, and then his eyes were even more shocked and almost popped out and fell to the ground, and his jaw was almost shattered.

What did he see?

Min Baoyi...... and Chen Mu are brothers!

What kind of existence is Min Baoyi, the errand of a mile in Nancheng District, high up, almost different from ordinary poor people, that is, those squires who live in Jiutiaoli Inner Street, when they see Min Baoyi, they also have to be polite and beneficial.

Incomprehensible.

Even dreams can't do anything like that.

This scene shook Zhang Hai's heart in a fog, so that he couldn't hear or see the scene behind, his ears seemed to be stuffed with cotton wool, and his eyes were painted with powder

He stood there with such a sluggish face, I don't know how long it took, his legs were numb, and he finally came back to his senses after a stumble, but he shook his head vigorously, and he still felt that his brain was a piece of paste, dazed and helpless.

……

Walk into the house.

What Chen Mu saw at a glance was Wang Ni, who was frightened and obviously seemed to be crying, and Chen Yue, who seemed to be listening carefully to the movement outside and looking at him with blinking eyes.

"Brother?"

Chen Yue shouted.

Although she and Wang Ni hid in the corner of the room and couldn't see the scene outside, they could hear the sound outside, but it made her a little dazed, because even she was a little dazed, how did Chen Mu know a character like Min Baoyi.

Kujo Sato Castle Guardian Mission...... She knew that it was in charge of tens of thousands of households in the entire Jiutiao to inspect the security, and even Chen Mu once told her that in this chaotic world, the chasi was almost a figure like the emperor of a region.

Although Chen Mu has said some things to her in the past few days, such as 'moving' and 'good days are coming', Chen Mu has also said so in the past, so she doesn't have a strong feeling.

But......

Today's episode made her ignorant, and finally felt different.

The city guard secretary came in person, and he also called Chen Mu a brother.

In the past, it seemed to be just an expectation, a hope, and a ray of light supporting the way forward, but suddenly it was close at hand, and even as soon as she stretched out her hand, it seemed to be able to touch it, which was a bit sudden, making her little head a little dizzy.

Chen Mu walked up to Chen Yue, stretched out his hand with a smile and nodded her Qiong nose, and then looked around with some emotion, looking at the mud walls on the four walls of the house, as well as the faded and decayed tables and stools, and the quilts that were sewn and mended.

Here he has more than a decade of memory.

and three years of life.

Eating old rice, nibbling on rough noodles and steamed buns, wowo...... In winter, there weren't even enough thick quilts, so if I wanted to huddle with Chen Yue, I had to hug her on a bed to warm up and sleep.

can't afford to buy new clothes, can't afford to add new jackets, because the world is unstable, they can only lock Chen Yue at home and prevent her from going out.

Be cautious in everything, dare not offend anyone, dare not get involved in any trouble, bow your head and behave carefully, be diligent, day after day, year after year, finally from a few days ago, with silver, strength, and confidence.

And to this day, it has to be completely changed.

Chen Mu stepped forward, hugged Chen Yue in his arms, hugged her hard, then exhaled lightly, touched her head, and said, "I'll go to the City Guard Division later, and then ...... tomorrow We move. ”

“…… Good. ”

Chen Yue raised his head, nodded hard in Chen Mu's arms, and nodded heavily.

Her big lovely eyes sparkled with the word 'Hope and Joy'.

The past two days have been full of ups and downs, from the fright at night to the trouble during the day, it can really be described as a big ups and downs, but she has always believed in Chen Mu, believed in every word of her brother, no matter how scared and panicked, she endured it and endured it.

Finally.

Such a day ushered in the dawn.

After Chen Mu appeased Chen Yue and Wang Ni, he didn't delay too long, hid the silver two, placed the gold and jade grinding method close to his body, and then set off to the city guard.

The deadbolt is broken.

But Chen Mu didn't care, even if he just covered the door now, it was more 'strong' than the previous door bolt.

Outside the door, Wang Zhao and the others had long since disappeared, and the two messengers were gone, only a few figures were scattered in the alley in the distance, gathering in twos and threes, not knowing what they were talking about.

Seeing that the door on this side opened, Chen Mu walked out of it, and those people immediately quieted down.

Seeing Chen Mu coming, the people along the way gave way one after another, whether it was the nearest neighbor or a few idle gangsters, they all carefully got out of the way, and even saw Chen Mu's gaze, and immediately lost a smile.

Chen Mu didn't pay attention to it, walked straight through the alley, and quickly walked away, leaving only a look of awe and envy.
