Disaster Strikes

After years of warlord melee, Guxuan Kingdom finally ushered in the so-called peace.

The reason why it is so-called peace.

The reason is that this peace is only for capitalists and businessmen, and the initial order has been established at the national level.

But the oppression of the lower-class people by big capitalists, big landlords, and gang compradors has not stopped.

The so-called peaceful and prosperous times are just a repainting on the ruins of dregs.

Chen Mo and Fat Brother, because the Pig Cage City is no longer there, can only leave helplessly and walk on this street full of ragged poor people, doing nothing.

The situation here is in sharp contrast with the North Sea Kingdom.

Although both countries have a huge gap between the rich and the poor, because the overall development of the North Sea Kingdom is better, even the poor lower-class people are generally still okay.

When Chen Mo came to his senses again, Fat Brother had stopped beside a woman who bowed her head and cried.

In front of her, there was a sign.

"Selling yourself to bury your mother?"

Chen Mo was stunned.

Especially after noticing the face of this woman, although she was crying, she could not hide her delicate and beautiful face. No wonder the fat brother next to her could not help but come to join in the fun.

Not only the fat brother, there were many people around here.

Chen Mo was quite familiar with this scene.

He couldn't help but take a closer look at the so-called deceased mother behind the woman. After noticing that this mother, although she seemed to have no breath, still had an extremely weak heartbeat, he showed a thoughtful look.

I don't know if she had some strange disease that made this woman still unaware that her mother was still alive, or if the mother and daughter were working together to deceive people and defraud ill-gotten gains.

"Little sister, how much money do you want to bury your mother?"

Fat brother couldn't help but ask in his thick accent.

The woman who bowed her head and sobbed heard the words, slowly raised her head, and looked at Fat Brother with tears in her eyes.

"My mother suffered a lot during her lifetime. I never let her live a good life until I died. So after she died, I must give her a grand funeral. It will cost at least 200 yuan."

200 yuan is not a small amount for the lower class people in the ancient Xuan Kingdom.

When Chen Mo and Xuan Zong worked as dock workers, they only earned 1 yuan a day. It would take more than half a year without food or drink to get 200 yuan.

But the actual situation is simply impossible.

Not to mention the issue of food, drink and rent, the gang's oppression is not a small amount.

Of course.

This is not a problem for the rich with a huge gap between the rich and the poor. For example, the luxury hotel where Fat Brother and Chen Mo live now costs 5 yuan a day.

When Fat Brother heard this, his face suddenly smiled.

"I can't stand seeing someone in trouble die without helping. I'll pay 200 yuan to give your mother a grand funeral, and then take care of my son and tell him not to be naughty. Do you think it's okay?"

The poor people around sighed when they saw this, and some applauded.

The woman kowtowed immediately after hearing this.

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness. You are such a good person. As long as you can give my mother a grand funeral, I will work hard for you."

"Haha, haha, haha!"

Fat brother laughed honestly and happily amid the applause of the audience, and kept bowing his hands.

Chen Mo, who was standing next to him, suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed a dirty little hand, which was reaching for Fat Brother's pocket, and he didn't notice it at all.

The pale and skinny child looked terrified.

Chen Mo snorted coldly, looked around, and stuffed fifty cents into his hand, indicating that he should not come again.

The frightened little boy looked surprised and puzzled.

He looked at Chen Mo deeply, bowed, and disappeared in the crowd.

Two minutes later.

Fat Brother gave his address to the girl who sold herself to bury her mother, and handed her 200 yuan, while Chen Mo sighed.

"I think you were probably deceived by her."

Fat Brother looked suspicious when he heard this.

"No way?"

He stopped and looked in the direction where the girl disappeared.

Fat Brother is not a fool, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it was. He seemed to be deceived by the other party for a while, and he immediately showed an angry look.

"I am the most honest person. If people don't offend me, I won't offend others, but if people offend me, I will make him a criminal. It just so happens that I have an appointment with the police chief for dinner tonight. If she doesn't come back by then, I will arrest her!"

Chen Mo rolled his eyes when he heard this.

This guy has lived in Beihai Country for a long time and has not yet fully adapted to the life in Guxuan Country.

"How about this, you call a rickshaw, be careful on the road, I'll keep an eye on them, and then I'll get the money back."

"Okay, brother, you do the work, I'm the most confident in your opinion, come back early for dinner, I'll introduce you to the director."

Fat brother seemed a little guilty.

After he stopped a rickshaw, he didn't forget to remind him.

"If there is no news, it doesn't matter, don't tell my wife when you come back, my wife likes to think about it the most, you know, I'm a warm-hearted person, I just helped her out of kindness, absolutely no unreasonable thoughts."

Looking at him patting his chest and looking serious, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel funny, and hurriedly waved to him.

Seeing this, Fat Brother couldn't help but smile, and signaled the rickshaw driver to leave.

...

Half an hour later.

In a slum, the woman dragged her mother back with great effort.

Her mother, who had died of illness, suddenly sat up on the bed.

"Hurry up and bring a glass of water. I've been waiting for a long time, and finally I got a fool. I'm almost dying of thirst. Girl, have you become ugly recently? Why can't you catch a rich man?"

"It's all your fault!"

The girl, who was originally tearful, became quite smart and delicate after cleaning up.

"You insisted that we had cheated other neighborhoods and forced me to go to this street. The people here are as poor as us. You want me to cheat ghosts?"

At this time.

A figure slowly appeared and stood at the door of the house. It was Chen Mo who had been following for a long time. He looked at his deceased mother who was drinking water.

"I've never heard that the dead can drink water."

The mother was stunned when she heard this.

The daughter next to her reacted immediately and her face changed drastically.

"He is the bodyguard next to that man just now!"

The mother's face changed, and she jumped up from the bed immediately, stood with the girl, and took a fighting alert posture towards Chen Mo.

Although the moves of the two people seem to have a nose and eyes, in Chen Mo's eyes, they are no different from fancy boxing and embroidered legs.

These two people are completely opposite to Chen Mo.

For the profession of martial artist, Chen Mo only practices internal skills but not moves, while these two people only practice moves but not internal skills.

"Girl, attack him from the top three routes!"

After saying that.

The two formed a cooperation and attacked Chen Mo.

The so-called three routes refer to the eyes, ears, and nose, but because the girl's physical fitness is not high, for Chen Mo, the attack is just like scratching an itch.

As for the mother, the lower three routes of attack are the heart, abdomen, and genitals.

Although her punching speed is not slow, she seems to consciously avoid her vital points. For Chen Mo, it is equivalent to a cat punch.

"Stop playing."

After a simple move, Chen Mo grabbed one with one hand and threw it on the bed.

Seeing this, the two women instinctively covered their bodies with panic on their faces, fearing that Chen Mo would do something evil.

Chen Mo rolled his eyes.

"My boss is a good man, who just came back from abroad. I think you are not a vicious person. Return his money and this matter will be over."

The two women saw this and immediately looked sad.

The girl pouted and said, "Rich people say they are good people."

The mother also showed a trace of worry, knowing that Chen Mo was not a bad person, and sighed.

"You took all the money away, it's easy for us, but what about the children?"

"Children?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo looked outside the room, but saw a large head with a yellow face and skinny body sticking out from every corner, looking at him timidly.

"Uncle."

A little boy held a wrinkled fifty cents and said with a look of surprise, shame and gratitude: "Thank you, you are a good person."

"Xiao Li, come here quickly."

The girl seemed to be a little worried that Chen Mo would hurt the little boy, so she hurriedly called him over. It was not until the little boy told her about Chen Mo that she showed a look of surprise and looked Chen Mo up and down.

This made Chen Mo frown slightly.

"What's going on?"

Alas.

The mother sighed.

"These are all orphans left behind in Zhulong City. Their parents died in that chaos. I felt sorry for them, so I took them in."

"Orphans from Zhulong City?"

In Chen Mo's shock, she told him what happened half a year ago.

"Half a year ago, people from Tianxingmen came to Zhulong City to hunt down a man named Gao Bo and asked him to hand over a secret book called "Three Self-Examinations". It is said that he has been hiding his identity in Zhulong City for many years. He usually disguises himself as a cripple and sells buns in Zhulong City..."

Chen Mo's face was solemn when he heard this.

That lame man selling buns turned out to be a hidden master of the realm of transformation. It was incredible.

"What happened later?"

"Later, Gao Bo showed up. He persuaded them earnestly, saying that "Three Self-examinations" would bring endless disasters. The former Great Xuan Kingdom was destroyed because of these righteous mental methods, but the people of Tianxingmen did not listen to the advice. The two sides fought and Zhulong City was destroyed in the battle."

"Alas."

Chen Mo sighed when he heard this.

As for Tianxingmen.

Chen Mo was not sure what this sect did. It was probably an extreme organization similar to the Beehive.

"What happened later?"

"Later... I heard that Gao Bo fell into madness because his wife and children were killed. He began to kill local gangs controlled by Tianxingmen. Until the leader of Tianxingmen came to the Never-Sleeping City in person, Gao Bo was forcibly taken away by Tianxingmen and there was no news."

Chen Mo looked disappointed when he heard this.

He suddenly thought of something and shouted outside: "Who is Tao Lan's child?"

Seeing that no one answered, Chen Mo asked three times in a row, and a little girl came out timidly.

Chen Mo really saw the shadow of Xiao Lan in her.

"Your mother is a good person."

Then he raised his arm and gestured loudly: "Today's lunch, I'll treat you all, all the children come with me, I'll treat you all to a full meal!"
