In this weird world, I use my body to control all things

Chen Mo looked at the pairs of gongs and drums in front of him. No matter how he looked at these pairs of gongs and drums, he couldn't see anything special about them.

They have been struck countless times, leaving some pits on the originally smooth gong surface.

Apart from anything else, it was definitely obvious that the imperial court paid enough attention to the matter of preventing gray fog.

The military camp of 500 people is equipped with six sets of gongs and drums. The incoming salt transport envoy specially arranged eight groups of four people to patrol the camp and beat gongs every day.

This is only the standard equipment of a 500-man military camp. Even though the current status of this military camp is close to being in name only, this point has not been relaxed.

In fact, not only this military camp, but most of the military camps used to protect official salt are basically in this state.

Because bandits will not easily rob official salt. Even if they want to rob, why not rob private dealers who are easier to rob.

Moreover, the vast majority of bandits are kings of the mountain and collect tolls to make ends meet. It is impossible to fight for life and death with people every day. That would be too costly.

Without bandits coming, these many military camps would naturally become idle, and then gradually become what they are now.

"Leave these two gongs and drums to me for safekeeping first. If the four gongs and drums are lost or something else happens, then come back to me."

Chen Mo picked up two gongs and drums, as they were currently the most accessible things that could dispel the gray fog and those weird creatures.

These two gongs and drums are as important to me as two amulets.

And he will use them immediately. In half a month at most, he will be able to accumulate enough internal energy to enter the realm of Tongmai.

As long as he enters this realm, Chen Mo will look for opportunities to continue exploring those weird creatures.

Of course, it must be done while ensuring safety. After all, the benefits those weird creatures can bring to oneself are really quite big.

Regarding the fact that he had taken away two gongs and drums, the two captains were curious but did not dare to ask more questions. Anyway, the remaining four gongs and drums were enough.

Immediately, Chen Mo explained some general matters in the military camp and let the two of them do it safely.

After giving these instructions, he took two gongs and drums and hurried back to Zhu Niuji.

There is no need to ride the horse anymore. With the strength of his feet, it is just a matter of lifting his legs for ten miles.

Walking all the way back to my home, the courtyard door was left open, leaving a crack for myself.

Pushing it aside, Zhao Yu was sitting in the courtyard, rolling up his sleeves and washing clothes.

"Let me twist it." Chen Mo closed the courtyard door, walked to the tub where she washed clothes, took the piece of clothing that was dripping into the water, and twisted it clean with a gentle force.

The wrung-out clothes were put aside first, and Zhao Yu handed over another piece with a smile.

The two of them cooperated tacitly, and seven or eight pieces of clothing were cleaned in an instant.

"Go and wipe your hands quickly. I'll hang these clothes to dry." Zhao Yu straightened up from the small wooden stool, with a gentle smile on his face, shook out the wrung out clothes and carefully hung them on the rope to dry.

"I've tidied up the main room on the east side for you. See if there's anything missing." Seeing Chen Mo walk into the main hall, she turned to greet him.

"Also, someone came to send greeting cards earlier. I put them away and put them on the table. Remember to read them." As if she was afraid that Chen Mo wouldn't hear her words, she hurried to the main hall carrying the clothes that had not had time to dry. Open in front of the door.

"Okay, I know everything." Chen Mo smiled and nodded in response.

There are three greeting cards on the table. One of them is the owner of the Zhu Niu Collection. The other two do not have specific identities, but they should also be prominent figures in this collection.

When Chen Mo came here, they just had a routine visit. The two of them chatted and met each other, so they knew each other.

After all, he was an official, not big or small, and he came here to take up a post. It would be against the rules if they didn't come to visit him.

After accepting three invitations, Chen Mo walked back to the bedroom in the east room. The room was very clean and the bed had been neatly placed.

Now that the weather was getting warmer, Zhao Yu didn't make a thick bed for him. A straw mat was covered with quilt sheets, and a small thin quilt used at night was added.

She also folded her clothes into categories and put them in her wardrobe, so that she could find them anytime she wanted to wear them.

Pulling out a small box from under the bed, Dutian Daogong was lying quietly inside without any changes.

Ever since he was almost invaded by the contents of this book last time, Chen Mo had no intention of visiting him again, at least not for the time being.

Who knows what evil methods this book has. If it is really invaded by it, even if I can solve it, I am afraid I will have to pay a considerable price.

In the past, my own energy and blood could only withstand short-term reading, and it was hard to say how long it would last.

If you want to read this book safely without being affected in any way, then you need to have quite strong energy and blood power.

Chen Mo carefully put the two gongs and drums into the wooden box, locked the box again and pushed it under the bed before getting up and leaving.

Zhao Yu was hanging the last two pieces of clothes on the clothesline. The sun was warm today and there was a breeze blowing on his face. He thought that these clothes could be dried in the evening.

"Let's go and try the beef noodle soup here." Chen Mo called softly.

Zhao Yu smiled and nodded in response. The warm spring sun was shining, and her smile looked extremely bright.

Beef soup noodle is a specialty of Zhuniuji. There are many beef soup pots not only in the markets outside.

In this place where many people live, there are also several time-honored brands.

Zhao Yu led Chen Mo to a shop called Tieniu Beef Soup. The store not only had beef soup noodles, but also beef soup noodles.

Next door to this store, there is also Yangji Horse Meat Shaobing.

"Hey, sir, please sit inside. Do you want to eat here or take it away?" The owner of the shop, dressed in coarse cloth, greeted someone with a smile when he saw someone coming.

It was just after lunch, and there were not many customers in the store. The seven or eight old wooden chairs had been used for I don’t know how many years, but they were all wiped clean at this time.

"A large bowl of soup, a small bowl of soup, and cut into five pounds of beef and mix them together." Zhao Yu glanced at the wooden sign hanging next to him and ordered the dishes skillfully.

"Two guests, this is a bit much," the boss said with a slight hesitation.

"Don't worry, I can't lose your money." Zhao Yu took out two pieces of broken silver from his arms and placed them on the table. The boss hurriedly collected the silver and then took action.

Chen Mo actually has a lot of money on him, but it's not a full amount of money, but a large ingot of official silver, which is not easy to spend in a small shop like this.

Zhao Yu had a lot of loose silver with her, so it was more convenient for her to pay the money.

"I'm going to buy some more sesame biscuits filled with horse meat." Zhao Yu told Chen Mo and walked into the sesame biscuit shop on the other side.

Chen Mo chose a seat in the store, but looked diagonally across the store for no other reason than it was too attractive.

It was a rather dilapidated courtyard that looked uninhabited for a long time, and there was obvious moss on the brick walls.

The yard is not small, it is bigger than where I live. More importantly, it is a bluestone yard, which is stronger than thatched house and much more expensive than thatched house.

If a thatched courtyard can be sold for two taels of silver, then a bluestone courtyard of the same size can be sold for at least eight taels.

Forget about other places, there won’t be many merchants in normal times, but I wish Niuji merchants will come and go like clouds. Such a good yard should not be abandoned.

Even if this yard is not cheap, as long as it is not too expensive, someone should buy it.

But it is so abandoned that no one would believe it if there weren't some other problems.

"Here, sir, the soup you want." The shopkeeper shouted and brought out two bowls of beef soup noodles, one large and one small.

"I dare to ask this shopkeeper, why is that good yard abandoned? It should not be difficult to sell the yard in our collection." Chen Mo asked with interest.

There are some weirder things in this world, and these things have a high probability of providing benefits for themselves.

Therefore, Chen Mo is quite interested in these possible weird phenomena.

Besides, I will live nearby in the future. If there are any weird phenomena there, it would be better to find a way to move farther away. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
