Chen Mo did not go to Uncle Cai's house first, but Uncle Wang's house first, but Uncle Wang had already left. Chen Mo did not know when he left, but he left after all.

Looking at the locked door, Chen Mo stood for a long time, and then took the package to Aunt Cai's house.

"Adai, where is your mother?" When Chen Mo came, he saw Adai sitting in front of the door in a daze, and went up to ask.

"Inside, what's the matter?" Adai looked at Chen Mo and said.

"Deliver something." Chen Mo was a little afraid to see Aunt Cai's house, after all, he pushed her the day before yesterday, but since he promised Uncle Wang, he should do it, even if facing tigers and leopards, he should not retreat.

"In the inner room, I'll take you there." Adai patted the dirt on his body and stood up.

"Okay... okay!" Chen Mo subconsciously straightened his chest, but he was still a little hesitant. Aunt Cai's madness in the past two days scared him, but thinking that this was Uncle Wang's entrustment, he finally showed an expression on his face that he was going to die heroically and strode into the inner room.

Aunt Cai was cooking. When she saw Chen Mo coming, she asked about Chen's mother's situation and stopped talking.

"That..." Seeing that Aunt Cai didn't seem as fierce as he imagined, Chen Mo felt relieved. He put the package in his hand on the table and said, "Aunt, this is what Uncle Wang asked me to bring to you."

"Take it back, we don't want it." Aunt Cai glanced at Chen Mo.

"But Uncle Wang has left." Chen Mo said a little sadly, "I'm afraid he won't be back in a short time. Things will go bad if they are kept for a long time."

"Then take it back to your home." Aunt Cai's expression became a little cold.

"I can't take it." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I have delivered the things. I have to go to Aong to make manure today. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, without waiting for Aunt Cai to answer, Chen Mo turned around and ran away. He ran out of the village. Seeing that no one was chasing him, Chen Mo was slightly relieved.

"Brother Ergou, what's wrong with you?" Aduo had already brought a group of friends to prepare materials for making manure. Seeing Chen Mo like this, he couldn't help asking.

"Nothing, I just fulfilled a man's promise!" Chen Mo said proudly.

"What is a promise?" Aduo looked at Chen Mo blankly.

"Uh... it's a promise that a man should keep!" Chen Mo thought for a while, although he didn't quite understand it.

"Brother Ergou is so awesome!" Several friends said with admiration, although they didn't quite understand.

"Okay, let's get to work. There are a lot of things to do these two days. We have to finish the manure pit of the village head's house quickly. Aduo, you take four people to dig the pit first, and the others stay to make manure with me. When it's done, we will send it over. It will be faster this way." Chen Mo didn't want to discuss this topic anymore and waved his hand.

"Okay!" Aduo agreed and ran to the village head's field with four friends.

Chen Mo stayed to continue making manure, and then rushed over at noon. Aduo and his friends had already dug a manure pit.

The village head didn't come today, but he still asked his daughter-in-law to bring food at noon.

After three days, the manure of the village head was applied, and Chen Mo began to make manure for each family. At the same time, he also took time to practice archery according to Uncle Wang's teaching. His life was simple and fulfilling. Occasionally, he would lead everyone to practice together, but most of the practice was just blind. Later, when Ah Dai joined in, he learned some archery.

Maybe because his father was gone, Ah Dai trained the most seriously every day, always training with Chen Mo. Uncle Cai was also a hunter before, and he would teach Ah Dai some skills, so among a group of friends, Ah Dai spent the longest time with Chen Mo.

Aunt Cai didn't throw away the things left by Uncle Wang in the end. Chen Mo didn't know the specific reason. When he asked his mother, his mother just said that he had to make a living after all. This sounded simple, but Chen Mo felt it was not so simple.

Such days are joyful for Chen Mo. He learns a passage of Analects from his mother every day, memorizes it, and then writes it. When he has nothing to do every day, he stands in a standing posture. After he is done with his work, he practices stick fighting or archery. After two months, his stick fighting and archery have reached level five. It is not clear how powerful his stick fighting is for the time being, but for archery, within ten steps, he can accurately hit a motionless target. At twenty steps, he can hit seven or eight arrows out of ten. For further distance, a short bow cannot reach it. As for longbows, there is nowhere to find them. They are sold in the city, but the price is not cheap. He asked someone about the shortbow in his hand, and it costs three hundred coins, and Xia Qiu has no craftsmen who make bows.

As for longbows, at least five hundred coins are needed, and there is no place to buy them. Hunters do have them, but it is impossible for the guys who eat to sell them to him.

Although Ah Dai also practiced diligently, Ah Dai could not match Chen Mo in strength or stick fighting when they competed privately. According to Chen Mo's estimation, Ah Dai's level was still around the third level. He didn't know whether he learned quickly with the help of God or Ah Dai was too stupid. It took Ah Dai two months to reach the level that he trained for one month.

"Brother Ergou~Brother Ergou, look over there, a group of people are coming." On this day, a group of friends were gathering together to play. The autumn harvest had arrived, and each family was preparing for the harvest. At this time, children were always the most relaxed. Ah Duo ran over in a hurry and pointed to the distance.

"What's so strange about this." Chen Mo looked at Ah Duo in confusion. In the past two months, he could see a large number of people walking north every few days. It was nothing strange.

"They seem to be coming this way." Ah Duo pointed to the distance and said, "And they seem to be coming to the fields."

"Hmm?" Chen Mo frowned upon hearing this, and walked over with a group of friends, just as they saw a group of people walking towards Ah Dai's field.

"That's... Ah Dai's field, do you recognize these people?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Ah Dai.

"No." Ah Dai shook his head in confusion.

"Brother Er Gou, look!" As he spoke, Gou Wa suddenly shouted.

Chen Mo turned his head and saw that group of people started to work in the fields, everyone holding a sickle in their hands to cut crops.

"No, they are here to steal crops!" Chen Mo's face changed and said, "Aduo, go and call people, and the others follow me!"

After speaking, Chen Mo directly picked up his stick, carried a short bow and stepped on the quiver and walked over, and the others also picked up their sticks and walked forward aggressively.

"Brother Er Gou, will we be beaten?" Gou Wa came to Chen Mo, his legs shaking a little, after all, those were all strong men.

"What are you afraid of? We are all in the fields and will be there soon. How dare they attack?" Gou Sheng said disdainfully.

"These people are here to steal food. I don't know which village they are from."

"Who cares? Let's fight them first!"

In this era, it is common for two villages to fight over water or other resources, but it is rare for them to come here directly to steal food.
