The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Brother Ergou, what should we do now? Are we still following them?" Seeing that the crowd began to thin out and the Taiping cultists responsible for maintaining order could no longer be seen in the crowd, Ah-Dai finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Modao, he is now They were still afraid that the people from the Taiping Cult would find out that they were killing people and grabbing food.

"Take one step at a time, and leave them. Where can I get food in this winter?" Chen Mo took out the "Mencius" given to him by Aweng from his arms and stood there while reading. His mother taught him the Analects of Confucius. Not to mention how much knowledge he has learned, but he can recognize the characters. At least Chen Mo can recognize most of the characters in Mencius.

"But... if he is discovered..." Ah-Dai was a little afraid. Although for Chen Mo, killing people had begun to become numb, but for him, he was still worried, fearing that he would be discovered. At the end of the sentence, he saw that Chen Mo was just silent. Looking at himself quietly, his voice couldn't help but lower. I don't know why, but Chen Mo feels a little different to him now than before. I can't tell what the difference is, but there is always a slight sense of oppression.

"I just want to live." Chen Mo looked at Ah-Dai quietly. After he stopped talking, he said in an extremely calm tone: "No one wants to kill people, but if you don't kill people, your mother will starve to death, and so will my mother." Yes, I am afraid too, but I am my mother's support. There are some things that you must do even if you are afraid. There is no better way out now. You have also seen that the city gates everywhere are closed. Follow them, at least we Won't starve to death."

What does it feel like to be hungry? Ah-Dai has experienced this deeply during this period. He never wants to experience that feeling of being so hungry that he wants to take a bite of anything he sees.

"Then what should we do now?" Ah-Dai looked at the direction where the large group of people were leaving, and then looked at Chen Mo.

"A new group of people is coming soon." Chen Mo looked at the book and said, "We will follow them when they arrive. If we are full, then practice with me. If you want to live, you must have the ability."

"Oh~" Ah-Dai hesitated for a moment and started to imitate Chen Mo. His father had taught him this before. Later, Chen Mo led a group of friends to practice martial arts. Ah-Dai was no stranger to it, but he couldn't do it like Chen Mo. After standing for so long, just for a while, my legs started to tremble.

Looking at Chen Mo who was motionless and even had extra energy to read, Dui was a little surprised: "Brother Ergou, you are so amazing."

Chen Mo did not answer. His physical training ability had reached five. The system gods had given him more ways to train his physical fitness. However, according to the information, such training would consume a lot of physical energy and he had to eat more meat.

In this situation, the noodles that Chen Mo can eat every day are obtained by killing people and selling goods. As for meat, I am afraid that Qu Shuai may not be able to eat it every day, so he can only stand around every day. Even so, Chen Mo can feel it during this period. My physical strength is constantly increasing, and I can lift dozens of kilograms of heavy objects, but I can't do it for long.

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't speak, Ah-Dai could only shut up and continue to practice. However, after holding on for a quarter of an hour, he finally lost the strength and sat down on the ground. He looked helplessly at Chen Mo, who was motionless. Only then did Ah-Dai realize that , Chen Mo, who used to play together, has unknowingly become different from them. Not only does he dare to kill people, but more importantly, he has physical strength. He remembers his father saying when he was alive that an average adult can last for half an hour. They all require regular practice. For someone like Chen Mo who can remain motionless and even read a book at the same time, I'm afraid most adults can't do that, right?

Standing has almost become a daily instinct for Chen Mo. He insisted on this station until almost evening, when Chen's mother and Aunt Cai prepared a meal and asked him to stop.

"Brother Ergou, you are so awesome." Dui looked at Chen Mo, who was sweating on his face, with admiration on his face.

"You have practiced for a long time, so you can do it." Chen Mo smiled, picked up the hem of his clothes and wiped his sweat. There was an unpleasant smell on the hem of his clothes. It had not been washed for more than a month. Under the current conditions, it was impossible to let him wash it. They cleaned, but for them, this kind of thing was already used to it. Not to mention Chen Mo, even his mother, who usually loved cleanliness, had not washed in a long time.

One is that he does not have this condition, and the other is that if he is really clean, he will be easily highlighted in such a refugee flow, and may cause unprovoked trouble.

Mother Chen and Aunt Cai had already boiled water, boiled a few noodles, and filled them in wooden bowls dug out of wood. When they saw Chen Mo and Ah-Dai coming back, they invited them to eat.

Aunt Cai's face was still skinny, but not as dull as when she saw her in the morning. She looked at Chen Mo with a bit of awe.

"Mo'er, the bread we brought back this time is enough for us to eat for a few days. We must not be so reckless in the future." Mother Chen looked at her son with some distress.

"Mom, don't worry, I understand." Chen Mo nodded, sat down and hugged Heizi with one hand, holding a wooden bowl in the other and frowning: "Mom, do you know how to fight in a war?"

The Taiping Sect wants to attack Quyang, but how to attack the city? The first thing that appeared in Chen Mo's mind was Xia Qiu's nearly three-foot-high city wall. It was difficult to climb up, let alone attack the city. After learning that the Taiping Sect was preparing to attack Quyang, Chen Mo was actually a little excited. He He has always wanted to join the army and perform meritorious service, and he has also thought about how to fight the war, but he was mostly just imagining things and could not do it accurately. Now that he has the opportunity to participate, he naturally wants to know more.

"How do women know this?" Mother Chen smiled bitterly when she heard this and said, "But attacking a city is generally not easy. You need to have equipment to support it, such as wells, ladders, battering rams, catapults... these things can be It’s not easy to get, I’m afraid the Taiping Sect doesn’t have it.”

"What do these instruments look like, mother?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

Chen's mother smiled bitterly and shook her head. Most of these instruments were recorded in a few words in the book. As a woman, how could she have the opportunity to see these things?

"Why is my son asking these questions?" Chen's mother looked at Chen Mo puzzledly.

"It's always good to know more. Who knows what the Taiping Church will do at that time? Knowing more, even if we have to go to the battlefield, we will have a better chance." Chen Mo explained.

"Warfare is dangerous. Since ancient times, few people have been able to come back alive after going to the battlefield. Molang, I think we should avoid it if we can." Aunt Cai sighed.

"No one can predict what will happen in the future. Tomorrow we will find out if there are any cities in the surrounding area willing to accept refugees. If there are, we will try to go there." Chen Mo nodded. This kind of thing can't be rushed, especially now that his mother is still here. If there is a way to get out, he will definitely not follow the Taiping Church to make trouble.

Today is New Year's Eve. I wish you all a happy family reunion and a prosperous New Year.
