Chapter 118: Drought

The group of three quickened their pace.

Chen Mu directly carried the huge white wolf burden from Xu Hongyu's back.

Along the way to Anyu County, along the way to see some scattered villages, the villagers are basically busy, door to door are competing for water, even six or seven years old children are carrying small wooden barrels around the well to wait for water, while the well water has not yet bottomed out, the river has not completely dried up, prepare enough water in advance.

For example, some villages that rely on the river are better, the river has not dried up, and the water is drawn quickly, but the kind of remote ones, the whole village eats a well water, which is very troublesome, but each of them still maintains order, and there are villages that are directing the distribution of water.

This scene after scene.

It made Chen Mu, who had seen it from afar, nod slightly.

The great drought five years ago, he had not yet come to this world, and the place where he lived was Yucheng, everyone reacted quickly, and prepared two large tanks of water in advance, and covered them tightly with lids, except for feeling that the air was quite dry at that time, so that his lips were dry and cracked, there were no other big changes.

The world outside the city is more directly affected, but because this kind of disaster occurs once every few years, no matter how big or small, there is basically a complete set of response plans, which is far more orderly than Chen Mu expected.

Soon.

The group rushed back to Anyu County Mansion.

The county government was also busy at this time, and people could be seen hurrying by almost all the streets and alleys, most of them carrying buckets, some going outside the city to fetch water, and some were crowded and queuing up by the well.

"Be honest! Don't squeeze! Who's ...... Get out of here! ”

Next to one of the wells, five or six errand officers were controlling order, but there were some men in the back who were five big and three thick and forced forward, and it seemed that they were still gang figures, and they were directly frozen with several errand officers.

An old woman with gray hair and 60 years of age was directly squeezed to the ground by the conflict.

A younger woman next to her hurriedly stretched out her hand to help:

"Aunt Liu, how is it, are you alright?"

“……”

The old woman was helped to her feet and shook her head, but her eyes were fixed on the barrel she had not picked up when she fell, which was being kicked away by several gang members and the servants in the conflict.

At this time, Xu Hongyu and Xiaohe hurriedly passed by, Chen Mu walked by with one hand against the huge white wolf demon burden, glanced at this, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The bastards of several gangs and the five big and three rough men who were born immediately became calm when they saw the white wolf demon burden that Chen Mu was carrying, as well as the neat and neat Tsing Yi of the Demon Slayer Si Qingyi Wei on his body, and they were all annoyed and almost fought.

"My lord, I ...... just now"

Several servants hurriedly saluted Chen Mu.

Although I don't know who Chen Mu is, this outfit, as well as the white wolf demon burden that obviously still has traces of blood, is undoubtedly the existence of the Demon Slayer Division at a glance, and it is a big man for them.

Chen Mu listened, frowned, and waved his hand, and a strong wind directly turned the people beaten by several gang figures on their backs, and their noses were blue and swollen, and their heads were bleeding, but a group of people couldn't care about wailing, and quickly got up and kowtowed.

"In extraordinary times, if there is any disruption to the order, they will be directly sent to prison."

Chen Mu opened his mouth coldly.

Although he is no longer an official of the City Guard Division, and An Yu is not his jurisdiction, but as the Qingyi Guard of the Demon Slaying Division, in this unusual period when the drought is approaching, he also has the power to directly command the servants in various places, and can ignore the hierarchy and overstep the command.

"Yes, yes......"

Whether it is a gang figure or a few men who are five big and three rough, they are all so frightened that they kowtow and respond again and again.

When Chen Mu turned away, several people suddenly showed the faces of the rest of their lives, and they didn't dare to mess around for a while, they each shrank to the back of the crowd, and several of the errand officers who clashed with them were relieved, and they were more confident for a while, and began to shout in a deep voice, arranging for people to fetch water one after another.

"Aunt Liu, your bucket."

Seeing that order had settled down, the woman went over and picked up the barrel and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman took it tremblingly: "Good, good ......"

The woman looked at the scene of the orderly fetching of water next to the well, and couldn't help but glance in the direction where Chen Mu left, and said: "Hey, that young man just now, with a wave of his hand, knocked people away in the air, and he is really similar to the kind of martial arts chivalrous man told by the old man of the storyteller king in the alley, I don't know how big an official he is, and he is still so young." ”

Liu Rong looked at her bucket carefully, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that it was not damaged, and when she heard the words of the woman next to her, she immediately nodded: "Well, well, I remember, I've heard people talk about it before, that official uniform seems to be a slashing department, which is bigger than the old men in our city guards." ”

Speaking of which.

The young man just now seemed to be a little similar to her sister when she was younger, but she should have seen it wrong.

Her sister had disappeared decades ago, been abducted by human traffickers, and never been found since, so how could she have something to do with a big man like the city guard just now.

Think of it.

Liu Rong sighed silently again.

In recent years, her body has deteriorated, and she doesn't know how many more years she can live, Liu Ping's body and bones were worse than her when she was a child, and she probably didn't have the opportunity to see her sister again in her life, and she didn't know if Liu Ping was still alive now, and how she was doing.

……

Anyu County Government.

When Chen Mu returned with Xu Hongyu and Xiaohe, the county government was also busy, and the county commander Yu Rong was not in the county government, but the county Cheng came out to greet him, and invited Chen Mu and others all the way into a compound behind the county government.

At this time, there were a lot of people from the Demon Slayer Division in the county government compound, basically all of them were performing tasks near Anyu County, and after perceiving the celestial phenomenon of the great drought, they immediately rushed to the county government of Anyu County to converge, waiting for further instructions from the Demon Slaying Division.

"An Yu is your Yu family's territory, and the Yu family should also be responsible for the demon slaying here?"

Chen Mu asked as he walked.

"Hmm."

Xu Hongyu nodded and said, "The Demon Slaying Division will have at least one deputy capital commander to command, either my third uncle will come over, or the sixth grandfather." ”

Xiaohe covered his mouth and snickered, leaned closer to Chen Mu's ear, and said in a low voice:

"Actually, I think it's good for you to be in charge."

The Yu family has two deputy divisions in the Demon Slaying Division, one is a bone forging master, and the other is a bone forging consummation, but the one who forged the bone is Xu Hongyu's sixth grandfather, who is over sixty years old, and now his qi and blood are declining, and his strength is about a bone forging mastery, and neither of them has ever realized the artistic conception, in Xiaohe's opinion, the strength is definitely not as good as Chen Mu.

Chen Mu stretched out his hand and knocked on Xiaohe's head, he was just a little Tsing Yi Wei, he just needed to hunt some more monsters, and Xiaohe's girl has become more and more arrogant recently, when should she teach a good lesson.

Courtyard.

Some of the black-clothed guards and Tsing Yi guards of the Demon Slaying Division gathered here, basically all of them were members of the Yu family, and when they saw Xu Hongyu coming in, they basically called 'Lord Xu' in a proper manner.

Although there are some of them, the Yu family, who are a generation higher than Xu Hongyu, belong to the remote side branch rather than the descendant, and the relationship is very far, and their own strength and status are far inferior to Xu Hongyu, so they are often called by official positions.

"You're from the Demon Slayer Division, or are you?"

Xu Hongyu asked.

"We were hunting demons near Anyu County, and when we saw an abnormal celestial phenomenon, we rushed over to gather."

Someone responded to Xu Hongyu.

There are a lot of people in the Demon Slaying Division, and they are usually scattered all over Yu County, and there are actually all the families and horses who hunt demons in Anyu County, but in addition to the people of the Yu family, the people of the other families will naturally not gather in Anyu County.

Here are all the people of the Yu family, and it is the territory controlled by the Yu family, come here, then I am afraid that I don't know how I disappeared in the end, and it is precisely because of the conflicts between the four families in the inner city, so every time the demon is chaotic, in addition to the large area directly under the jurisdiction of the county town of Yujun, the Demon Slayer Division directly dispatches a certain family of people to deal with each county.

"This celestial phenomenon started very early, there were signs a day ago, the Demon Slayer Division is estimated to react quickly, and everyone should be on the way here, and it is estimated that when the drought is completely settled, it will be there."

Someone said to Xu Hongyu.

Xu Hongyu nodded, then turned to look at Chen Mu, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

Chen Mu only nodded slightly at her, signaling that she was in charge of everything.

"Then let's rest for a while and wait for the people above to come."

Xu Hongyu looked at everyone and said, and then walked to the back room in the backyard with Chen Mu and Xiaohe.

Entered the house.

Xu Hongyu took out a map of the vicinity of Anyu County, and said: "Anyu County is located in the southwest of Yu County, and it is connected to Jinyu County in the north, Jinyu County is the most populous and prosperous county in Yu County, and it is the territory of the Xue family, and then Huaiyu County is in the east, Huaiyu County is under the jurisdiction of the He family, and this time it must also be the He family in charge." ”

Chen Mu is still very familiar with the map of Yu County, and he knows it roughly without looking at it, but Xu Hongyu's map is more detailed, with many areas such as mountains and hills, as well as dangerous areas marked with red pens.

Those dangerous areas are far from inhabited places.

Chen Mu looked at the map carefully, and said in a deep voice: "When there is a great drought, monsters will infiltrate into the county government, and your uncle or elder who will come over will definitely sit in the county government, then the ten townships under the jurisdiction of the county government must at least be responsible for white-clothed guards like you, and I will go with you to sit in one of them at that time, if I am here, the manpower can be appropriately reduced." ”

Chen Mu's words are very stable, although in terms of personal strength, even if he is the deputy capital of the Demon Slaying Division, he is not as good as him, but this kind of large-scale demon chaos still requires more manpower to scatter to hunt demons everywhere, after all, the scope involved is too large, unless a large number of monsters gather, then it is suitable for him to do it.

Xu Hongyu quietly glanced at Chen Mu.

At the end of last year, when the Great Cold Demon was in turmoil, she also came to Anyu County, and that time it was also ruled by a clan uncle, this time there was more Chen Mu, but in the bottom of her heart, she was a lot more relieved, and she could not be so nervous.

Thinking of this, a strange glimmer appeared in Xu Hongyu's eyes, she initially cultivated Chen Mu, just hoping to have a capable subordinate to help her open up the situation in Nancheng District, at least stabilize a mile more, but the development of things is completely different from what she expected, and now Chen Mu has become an existence that can sit in one place and even shelter her.

"An Yu, Huai Yu...... Donghong Township, Xixia Township, Shuanggou Township......"

Chen Mu looked at the map and pondered.

And Xu Hongyu looked at Chen Mu from the side in a daze, Xiaohe looked at the map without saying a word, then looked at Chen Mu, and then looked at Xu Hongyu, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, but she didn't make a sound.

That's it.

Half an hour later.

Suddenly there was movement outside.

"Lord Vice-Commander!"

"See Lord Vice-Commander."

All I could hear was the sound of footsteps coming from the courtyard, accompanied by many respectful voices.

Xu Hongyu suddenly came back to her senses, but found that Chen Mu didn't look at the map anymore, but was looking at her, and when she woke up, she smiled lightly and said, "Okay, it's time to go out, Lord Xu." ”

This slightly chuckling 'Lord Xu' made Xu Hongyu's heart beat twice in a row for some reason, but her face was still that innocent, nodded slightly, got up and walked outside.

Chen Mu watched Xu Hongyu walk out of the door, turned his head to look at Xiao He next to him, and winked at Xiao He.

Xiaohe covered her mouth and snickered, also blinked, and then got up and walked out together.

"Third uncle."

Xu Hongyu came to the courtyard, looked at the middle-aged man who was wearing a demon slaying officer's deputy capital official uniform, and looked quite dignified, saluted lightly and shouted.

Yu Jun nodded slightly at Xu Hongyu, and said: "I already know the general situation, and the manpower I brought this time is roughly the same as last time, I think it will be arranged according to last time, what do you think of Hongyu?" ”

Xu Hongyu was completely calm at this time, and after a little thought, he said: "I have become perfect, I can also sit in a township this time, it is better to let me go to Donghong Township." ”

"I forgot that you're also a one-man white guard......"

Yu Jun laughed, of course he didn't forget, but if Xu Hongyu wanted to be the same as last time, it was nothing to just follow the team to hunt monsters, the Yu family's manpower was enough, but if Xu Hongyu wanted to be alone, it would naturally be very good, although she had only recently entered the Yijin Consummation, but the martial artist has always been unsharpened and unsuccessful.

If there is some sharpening and income in this demon hunt, then Xu Hongyu will not be far away when he enters the bone forging realm, and if he realizes the three sword postures again, he can even start to try the Kanshui map in the Shen Wu clan.

In the future, maybe he will be able to carry the Yu family.

"Okay."

Yu Jun smiled and said, "Then Donghong Township will be handed over to you, and you will pick the manpower yourself." ”

"Thank you, third uncle."

Xu Hongyu bowed her head slightly, and walked outside, looking at the people brought by Yu Jun.

Among the people brought by Yu Jun, not all of them were people from the Demon Slayer Division, only a small part of the people from the Demon Slayer Division accounted for a small part, and more of them were from the Yu family, and even brought as many as hundreds of Yu family swordsmen.

Xu Hongyu quickly gathered a group of people, reported to Yu Jun, and set off with Chen Mu.

It's still three more, a little more words, thanks to the head of the bbmmww boss.
