Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 32 The Lu family is in trouble

This is not a gang. The more people, the better.

This is a martial arts world, and it is still a troubled world. An ordinary person with no strength and ability, who wants to follow him, can only be said to be a burden to Chen Mo.

After all, if you agree to him, then as his little brother and you as his big brother, you have to take care of him.

Moreover, Zhang He had previously taken refuge with Wang Xi, but now he turned around and said he wanted to hang out with him.

"I am." Zhang He talked about me for a long time, but he couldn't explain why. As a farmer in Fuze Village, his greatest ability is to be able to farm, endure hardship, and have a lot of strength, but such people are everywhere. yes.

Chen Mo shook his head and said: "For the sake of what you just told me, I will give you a pound of corn. Come on, you don't have to hang out with me."

Chen Mo stood up and gave the order to see off the guests.

But Zhang He suddenly knelt down and said tremblingly: "Brother Mo, I really want to hang out with you. Please accept me. I only need a few bites."

Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, there is no way to go hunting in the mountains. Even if he could go up the mountains, he would not be able to hunt prey by himself. Food prices have increased so high, and there are still city fees to enter the city. If this continues, his family of five will not be able to survive this winter. Can't get through it.

Chen Mo stared at him for a few times, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "You said you can't express your abilities, so let me ask you, are you cruel?"

"Cruel?" Zhang He was stunned, not knowing what Brother Mo meant by this.

Brother Mo is testing me?

"I'm not cruel." Zhang He thought for a while and said.

"Let's go." Chen Mo waved his hand.

"I am cruel, cruel," Zhang He said quickly.

"Being cruel does not depend on words, but on actions, do you understand?" Chen Mo said softly.

Zhang He: "???"

"You can figure it out yourself. I'll give you a day. If you understand, come back to me."

Chen Mo entered the house, filled Zhang He with a pound of corn, threw it to him, and asked him to leave.

…

night.

After the lovemaking, Han Aniang was as soft as mud after being tortured, and she hugged Chen Mo in her arms.

Chen Mo put one hand on the millstone and measured Han Anniang's mind with the other, sighing that her mind was so broad that no man could match it.

To be honest, Chen Mo likes people with good-looking faces but slightly fat bodies that look fleshy.

That's what's called plumpness.

He doesn't like that kind of skeletal beauty.

Even if it feels uncomfortable to hold, it still hurts a little during the game.

"Sister-in-law, in this winter, if you and I hug each other, we can save a lot of charcoal." Under the quilt, the two hugged each other, warm, not afraid of the severe cold outside, and saved the need to burn the bed.

But Han Anniang heard other meanings in these words, and said angrily: "Uncle, please don't laugh at the slaves."

"How could I laugh at my sister-in-law? It's too late to care about my sister-in-law." Chen Mo took a sweet sip on Han An's face, then hugged her and let her lie in front of the window, leaned over Han An's ear, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, While it's still early, I'll take my sister-in-law to look for the fairy in heaven."

"Uncle"

…

The cold wind is howling, and it has been snowing heavily for a day, and it shows signs of stopping.

Fuze Village was shrouded in darkness, and there was no other sound except the howling of the cold wind.

Suddenly, a monstrous fire rose up, like a candle being lit in the darkness.

It's late at night now.

When the fire was discovered, it had been burning for a quarter of an hour.

Chen Mo and Han Anniang had just finished sleeping when there was an uproar outside.

"No, it's gone."

"Someone, come quickly. The Lu family is in danger. Please help."

"."

"Is the Lu family in trouble?"

Han Aniang sat up in shock, wrapped herself in a quilt, and opened the window to check.

The Lu family and the Chen family were not too far away. Han Anniang saw the fire not far away at a glance, and said in surprise: "It's really on fire."

Chen Mo was also watching from the side, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he patted Han Anniang on the shoulder and said, "Sister-in-law, you rest first, I'll go and see what's going on?"

"Okay, uncle, go and come back quickly."

…

The Lu family is different from the Chen family. They are just two thatched houses. Once the water leaks out, it will burn to the ground in a short time.

When Chen Mo arrived, the Lu family had been burned down. A group of villagers gathered around, and in front of them were two charred corpses that were burned beyond human appearance.

"How could there be a fire in this winter?"

"Alas, Aunt Lu and Lu San were burned alive like this."

"Fortunately, Brother Shui came in time and rescued Hu'er, otherwise Hu'er would have been burned to death."

"Isn't that right? But Aunt Lu and Lu San were both burned to death, leaving Hu'er alone, alas..."

The villagers were talking a lot.

"Brother Mo is here?" Someone suddenly shouted.

"Brother Mo."

"..."

Chen Mo came over, and the villagers next to him waved and greeted him with respect on their faces.

Chen Mo saw Zhang He, his face was dirty, and in front of him squatted a crying child, who was Lu San's son Hu'er.

Chen Mo glanced at it for a few times, mainly at Hu'er, and then left.

When she got home, Han Aniang quickly asked Chen Mo to lie down: "Uncle, come in quickly, I will warm you up."

After Chen Mo got into bed, Han Anniang didn't mind the coldness on Chen Mo's body at all. She held Chen Mo's hands and put them in her arms, blowing on him to warm him, and then said: "Uncle, what's going on with the Lu family? Has the fire been put out?"

"It's all burned out." Chen Mo said.

"Ah." Han Anniang was shocked: "Na Lu San"

"Both Lu San and Madam Lu were burned to death, only Hu'er is still alive." Chen Mo continued.

Han Aniang: "..."

After all, he is a villager, and hearing the scenes of life and death will be somewhat sentimental.

…

The next day.

The Lu family was burned down, so naturally there was no money left.

Naturally, there was no money to deal with the funeral arrangements for Lu San and Lu Lao Niang. In the end, several old people in the village discussed it, called a few young men, dug a hole in the mountain, erected tombstones, and buried the two hastily. .

In fact, this kind of behavior is illegal. After all, the mountain belongs to the government. If you want to be buried in the mountain, you have to pay money to the government, which is quite a lot of money.

That’s why in movies and TV dramas, there are many plots of selling one’s body to bury one’s father.

However, this belongs to the people who do not hold officials accountable.

As long as no one files a lawsuit, the government won't care.

After all, death is a big deal.

As for Xiaohu, no one cares.

One more person means one more ration.

The people in the village don't have enough to eat, so how can they care about an outsider.

In the afternoon.

Chen Mo was practicing swordplay in the courtyard when Zhang He came to see him again.

Chen Mo knew he would come.

When men talk about things, Han Anniang won't be around.

After Zhang He entered the room, he said: "Brother Mo, can I follow you now?"
