Yun Yun drank the remaining half bowl of chicken soup, and when he was taking a nap, Cheng Mu closed his eyes and pointed at him in his mind, "Wei Jin, you are a martial artist, you can kill hundreds of enemies. But what's the use of these, isn't it still in my hands now. You have to know that in this world, no one is kind. No matter how upright you are alone, if you do your best for the country, those who are not as good as you are now promoted and rich, and you Well, it's just dying on this frontier."

After the man finished speaking, he slashed down with a long sword, and Cheng Mu woke up suddenly, his body was covered with sweat.

He thought that the eight years in this country could erase those memories, but now he finds that the pain is more obvious deep in his heart.He wants to forget and change, but he is actually deceiving himself.

Wiping the sweat off his head, Yun Yun beside him was still sleeping, he got up and went to the yard to meet the apprentice who was drying herbs.

"Where's your master?"

The apprentice replied, "The master is seeing a doctor in front."

Yes, now is the time when there are really many patients.Cheng Mu didn't bother Chu Qianqiu, he went out directly through the back door, and he went to see if there were any suitable part-time workers.

Turning around on the street, apart from building houses and unloading goods by the river, there is no other work.

While walking on the street, suddenly a man passed by the town on horseback, "Get out of the way!" All the stalls on both sides were kicked over by the fast horse, vegetables and fruits were scattered on the ground, and two or three people were pushed to the ground.

Cheng Mu ducked to the side and looked back at the fast horse, which was the postman delivering the urgent military report.

There is now a military situation in the south again.

After the fast horse passed, the street returned to normal. The stall owner whose stall was overturned just cursed a few words, but luckily no one was killed.

Back at the clinic, almost all the patients had left, and Chu Qianqiu was trying to settle the score.

"Just now, I saw a horseman passing by on the street. It looks like an army."

"This is the third time in the past few days. I heard that there is a war in the south. The Southern Qiang Kingdom has frequently invaded the border of our Great Northern Dynasty in recent years."

"Did the court do nothing?"

Chu Qianqiu put away his abacus, "The imperial court? If the imperial court is effective, this battle will not last so long, and we as common people can't care so much, we should feel at ease to support our family."

To avoid suspicion, Cheng Mu didn't ask, and went into the backyard to see that Yun Yun was still decocting medicine.

"Just now Doctor Chu checked my pulse and said that my health is much better than before."

Cheng Mu looked him up and down, and found that Yun Yun was indeed stronger than before. This month, she didn't hide her food, and sometimes ate more than him.

"Let's go back when your voice is better."

There is nothing to do in the hospital, and Yun Yun often goes to the front to help sweep the floor and so on. Cheng Mu will go home when he has time to tidy up the house.

"I heard that there is a workshop at the east end of the town, which specializes in making arrows, and it pays a penny for ten arrows." A patient said.

"Such a good thing?"

"The child's father thought it would be easy to do it, but he only made forty in one day. The arrows need to be sharpened to pierce through the wood and feathered. Forty in one day is considered good."

The others sighed for a while, Chu Qianqiu heard these people's discussions, and interjected, "I'm afraid the court will fight a war to make arrows. If you share the worries of the country, you can do it."

"Doctor Chu, who will do the work for four renminbi this day? If you have the time, it's better to do other things. It's four renminbi to send beggars!" said a man who was queuing.

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard this, it is reasonable, now you can pay more than ten cents a day for whatever you do.

"If everyone thinks this way, the imperial court will have no arrows. How can they win this battle?"

"We pay taxes every year, so the court doesn't even have the money to make arrows? It's really in vain that we pay so much money and food."

Chu Qianqiu just smiled and didn't speak, and Yun Yun felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this.

When she was sleeping that night, Yun Yun told Cheng Mu about it.Cheng Mu just came back from home, and he still doesn't know about making arrows.

"I'm fine now, why don't you make arrows. It's in the house, it's not so tiring, and you don't have to worry about it."

"But they all say the wages are too low."

"Making arrows is not for wages. I go there to pass the time."

"Then I'll go with you."

"Don't go, it takes strength to make an arrow, otherwise you won't even be able to insert a feather, you just practice martial arts here, I have to check every day when I come back."

"Okay." Yun Yun believes that sooner or later, he will be as strong as Cheng Mu, but he will be able to help Cheng Mu at that time.

At dawn the next day, Cheng Mu went directly to the workshop.When he arrived, two men who looked like officers and soldiers were dozing off at the door.

Cheng Mu stepped forward to wake him up, the officers and soldiers curled up and said who came early in the morning.

"Aren't you a workshop?"

The officers and soldiers were more sober, looking at Cheng Mu in disbelief, "You want to make arrows?"

"Yes, can I go in now?"

"Come in, come in."

After the officers and soldiers let Cheng Mu in, they still guarded the door, "Brother, do you think this person is stupid to make arrows. If he doesn't do anything better than this, he probably has a bad brain."

Another officer said, "Who knows? In my opinion, the imperial court shouldn't give this job to the common people. The Ministry of War doesn't have any money for training."

"Brother, let's just stay here and guard, and leave the rest alone."

"Too."

When Cheng Mu entered the workshop, there was no one there.He casually picked up the arrows on the ground, flipped through them and threw them into the quiver next to him.Continue to walk in, and some failed products are thrown on the ground.

Gathering all the waste arrows together, he sat on the table and began to load the arrows.

With a few strokes of the knife, the arrowhead is sharpened, the iron head is fitted, and the tail is feathered, all in one go.

Looking at the broken sword on the ground, Cheng Mu's hand became faster and faster. After a while, the entire quiver was full.He brought another pile of materials and started to pack them up again.

The two officers and soldiers at the door hadn't heard the movement inside and couldn't help being curious, "Dude, he wouldn't be on the ground." After speaking, he made a movement of touching his neck.

"Don't scare me, why don't we both go in and have a look?"

"Row."

The two officers and soldiers held knives in their hands and carefully went in. The sound of loading arrows came to their ears, and they relaxed a little.Going over the curtain and continuing to walk in, I saw Cheng Mu is quickly reloading the arrow.

After watching for a while, the arrow-loading technique was so skillful, he hurriedly backed away, and dared not speak until he reached the door, "He is not a god, why is he pretending so fast?"

"I don't know either. Look at the swishing movements. In my opinion, it's not worse than the ones specially made by the Ministry of War."

"He can't be a god-man, I've never seen such an awesome person these days."

Cheng Mu put on another quiver to support his waist and loosen his muscles and bones. It's a bit rusty after not pretending for so many years.

When Cheng Mu walked out of the workshop, he packed ten quiveres, a total of five hundred arrows, and he alone could hold up to ten people.

When the officers and soldiers gave Cheng Mu [-] Wen, they didn't believe it was true, and Cheng Mu hadn't recovered from the long distance.
