Chapter 81 Farewell (End of this Volume)
The weather in early spring has warmed up, and the trees in the courtyard have sprouted green buds. The breeze on the face is no longer cold, but very comfortable, but Chen Mo is not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment.
When he came out of the room, Chen Mo's face was a little red. After all, it was the first time since birth that he had another woman wipe his body except his mother.
Juan'er followed Chen Mo, which was a little funny. This young man was really restrained. She just wiped his upper body, and his whole body seemed to be cooked.
But with Chen Mo in front of her, she didn't dare to really laugh. She just lowered her head and suppressed the smile on her small face, which was a bit hard to endure.
"Chen Mo!"
When he heard someone calling him, Chen Mo turned around and saw Dalang hiding in a nook, waving at him.
"What's the matter?" Chen Mo was a little surprised by what Dalang called him.
"I heard that you are going to Qingzhou with that Mr. Zang?" Dalang came to Chen Mo. As a friend of Chen Mo, he also went to see the apprenticeship ceremony yesterday. Today, Chen Mo is no longer the country man in the past.
The identity is different, so naturally the title cannot be called Ergou as before. I can’t explain why, but in such an environment, a name like Ergou is really hard to pronounce.
"Well, the teacher is the county magistrate there. When he returned to his hometown, the Taiping Sect incident delayed his trip. Now that the siege of Quyang has been resolved, the teacher wants to rush back as soon as possible." Chen Mo nodded.
"How about you take me with you?" Dalang said somewhat cautiously.
"It's far away from here." Chen Mo asked curiously: "Why do you want to go with me? My mother is still here and will always come back."
"What's the use of me staying here? I'm just living under someone else's roof. Anyway, I can't take it out now. Magistrate Zhang doesn't feel comfortable staying here after all. I want to go out with you and learn some skills." Dalang sighed.
Dao, he is now without a father and a mother, lonely and helpless. After all, he is dependent on others here, and he also knows very well that Zhang Chao cannot teach him. If he stays with Chen Mo, he might learn something, but if he stays here,
I'm afraid this will be the case for the rest of my life.
"I can't make the decision, I need to ask the teacher for instructions." Chen Mo wanted to refuse, but when he heard Dalang's words, he couldn't bear it. Dumb has his mother, but Dalang's parents are gone, so it would be better to follow him.
It's just that he still had to ask Zang Hong for instructions on this matter, and Zang Hong only nodded, so it didn't matter if he said so.
"Okay, you go and say it. If it doesn't work, I'll go find Uncle Yang." Dalang nodded happily. Uncle Yang is now the thief of Quyang. He is not an official but he is still a official. For the sake of his fellow countrymen.
Go ahead and take care of the head office.
After Chen Mo accepted the matter, he went to visit his mother and Zang Hong.
"Sir, you..." Juan'er followed Chen Mo but hesitated.
"What's the matter?" Chen Mo turned to look at Juan'er, still feeling a little embarrassed.
"Young Master, you have a noble status. There is a difference between high and low. As a servant, this person calls the Young Master by his first name, which is a bit rude." Juan'er bowed and said.
"He grew up with me since he was a child. He is not a servant." Chen Mo shook his head and said. He has not yet adapted to this new identity, but this rule seems a bit cold to Chen Mo. This is what he really felt from Dalang before.
, an unspeakable sense of alienation. Although Dalang calls himself Ergou by his first name, he no longer has the familiarity he once had. This feeling makes people feel uncomfortable and empty.
Juan'er bowed to her and said no more. She just followed Chen Mo, first to see her mother, and then to see Zang Hong. Chen Mo had Mencius's book, and Zang Hong's teachings were somewhat different from Chen Mo's, so he still had to read them.
The recitation was just to read out a large section of what he was going to learn today. There was no need to memorize it. As long as he could read it smoothly, Zang Hong started to tell Chen Mo some history.
It's a bit unclear when Mencius was written, but the general background is the Warring States Period, which has similarities and differences with the Analects. What Zang Hong tells doesn't seem to have much to do with the book. He usually just tells some stories that happened at that time.
It took a while, but somehow, after listening to the teacher explain these seemingly unrelated things, Chen Mo often had some understanding of what he had learned.
The teacher’s teaching seems to be much better than my mother’s!
Zang Hong agreed to Dalang's matter. After returning to his post, he would still have to manage people's livelihood. Chen Mo could not study all the time. Children of this age are naturally active, so it would be nice to have a playmate.
Life seems to be back to the past, but the difference is that Chen Mo no longer has to be busy farming every day, and his food and housing are completely different from before.
Every morning when he gets up early, Chen Mo will read what the teacher is going to teach him today, and at the same time he will stand still. After reading smoothly, Chen Mo will follow the exercise method taught by the gods of the system to build up his physical strength, or do some special movements according to the system.
The gods note that these movements can exercise flexibility, but Chen Mo doesn't understand what flexibility is, but there is no need for the system gods to harm himself. In the past, the conditions could not keep up, so Chen Mo did not dare to practice more. Now that he has no worries about food and clothing, Chen Mo practices
It was very hard to get up.
Occasionally, Chen Mo would take Dalang and Dui to the city to help. The Taiping Sect outside the city had dispersed, but there were still many things to do, such as gathering the corpses outside the city to burn or bury them. According to his mentor, these
If the corpse is not treated, it is likely to turn into a plague.
This is something Chen Mo has never experienced, but at this time, Chen Mo is no longer the child who dreamed of being a general in the countryside. After experiencing a war, Chen Mo now begins to long for peace.
Chen Mo has not entered the dream training camp again for the time being. The dream battlefield he experienced last time is still fresh in his memory. Chen Mo is not sure whether the next time he learns skills will be as cruel as the dream battlefield. Another point, Chen Mo also wants to see if the luck consumed is
He will recover as he did in his hometown.
The result is still very satisfactory. You can recover a little luck the next day. However, it doesn't recover after that, maybe because you don't have enough time. But because this value is already much higher than the basic value, even if you use some, you won't be able to recover.
The misfortune will continue just like last time.
After making this inference, Chen Mo is still very happy. He still has twenty-three points of luck. Among the basic skills, the highest one only consumes five points of luck. If he recovers a little bit every time he uses it the next day, then at least he can
Learn three skills, and if your luck can be restored, there will be more.
Of course, these are all based on your guess being correct, but even if you guess wrong, you can still learn the three skills.
After staying in Quyang for another seven days, Chen Mo, led by Zang Hong, bid farewell to Zhang Chao and prepared to go north.
"It's a long way to go, my son should listen to your husband's words more." Outside the city gate, Mother Chen, Uncle Yang, Aunt Cai, and Ah Dai followed the farewell team to see off Chen Mo. Zang Hong said goodbye to Zhang Chao in the distance, while Chen Mo followed
Mother said goodbye to her remaining villagers.
"Mom, don't worry, the child knows." Chen Mo nodded.
"Brother... I also want to..." Ah-Dai looked at Chen Mo with some reluctance. Parting is always uncomfortable, especially when everyone has gone through hardships together, so the relationship will naturally be deeper. Ah-Dai is young and not like Chen Mo.
Ban Zaozao took charge of the family, but among everyone, he was the one who couldn't bear it the most. Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes were already red and his nose was dripping with tears.
"Take good care of my mother and your mother, and practice your skills well. If I want to become an official in the future, you can help me." Chen Mo hugged Ah-Dai hard and said with a smile.
"Well, brother must come back to me!" Dui sniffed and nodded fiercely.
Chen Mo looked at Uncle Yang again, and Yang Mao patted his shoulder with his big hand: "Although I am older, you know more than me. If you return from your studies earlier, you will be the only ones left in our village."
"Uncle Yang, please take care, too." Chen Mo saluted Yang Mao and said goodbye to Aunt Cai. Then he took Dalang to the motorcade. This time he had to travel thousands of miles, and there was chaos outside. Zang Hong went back this time.
He brought more than 300 people with him, and except for a few domestic servants and maids, almost all of them were generals recruited from their families, so it was delayed for some time.
"Is it done?" Zang Hong called Chen Mo into his car, looked at his disciple, and asked with a smile.
"Well, thank you teacher." Chen Mo saluted Zang Hong.
"From now on, when there are no outsiders present, you and I, master and disciple, don't have to do such false etiquette. Let's go!" Zang Hong shook his head, smiled, and shouted to the outside of the car.
"Drive~"
The motorcade started to move forward slowly as the coachman shouted. After Mother Chen watched the direction of the carriage gradually disappear from her sight, her body suddenly softened and she fell to the ground. Aunt Cai quickly supported her, and people around her quickly came over.
, someone called a doctor, and after taking his pulse, he just felt like this because he was thinking about his beloved son. He took a few soothing medicinal soups and was fine.
