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

The crowd dispersed.

There were villagers with children nearby. They quickly covered their children's eyes because the situation at the scene was too bloody.

The more than 50 garrison troops and policemen were all mangled beyond recognition, and all of them lost their breath.

Chen Mo also suffered casualties. After all, the opponent was a regular army wearing armor. This kind of disorderly attack killed thirteen villagers and injured more than twenty.

Looking at the thirteen dead villagers, Chen Mo frowned.

There was sympathy, but more concern. It was obvious that despite having a numerical advantage, there were still dozens of casualties. This was when the garrison only had a few dozen people and did not carry any mid-to-long-range weapons such as crossbows.

If the entire garrison in the county were to mobilize and bring enough weapons and equipment to encircle and suppress the city, the current situation would mean that the front would not be able to withstand it at all.

But Chen Mo could only report good news but not bad news, and by killing these officers and soldiers at this moment, the villagers were full of confidence. If he poured cold water on them now, it would only collapse the morale they had finally built up.

"They are all good men with talent. I have decided that the families of the thirteen men who died will be compensated with an extra acre of land, a pension of one tael, and three kilograms of meat. For the injured, a pension of three hundred wen and a kilogram of meat will be given. Brothers who were injured or killed later will be compensated according to this standard."

After Chen Mo thought about it for a while, he said.

As things stand now, these are the only compensations that can be given.

"Master Chen Xian is a righteous man." Han Wu shouted at the top of his voice, and then said: "Brothers, Master Chen Xian doesn't owe us anything. We are all burdened with serious crimes, but Master Chen Xian did not abandon us, but protected us and rescued us. My family led us to kill the officers and soldiers, and now we are also paying pensions to our dead brothers. For such a loyal person, I, Han Wu, am willing to protect Master Chen Xian with my life."

Zhang He: "..."

In order not to let Han Wu steal the limelight, Zhang He immediately said: "Only by following Brother Mo can we survive."

"Follow Brother Mo."

"Follow Brother Mo."

The villagers of Fuze Village responded.

Han Wu frowned slightly and glanced at the people in Dahan Village, and soon they also started shouting.

There are many words about Chen Xianshi being righteous and generous.

In an instant, everyone in the audience was infected and started shouting.

Some even said "Long live Master Chen".

Chen Mo: "..."

Good guy, he felt like he was being put on a piece of clothing for no apparent reason, but the clothes were too yellow.

Just when everyone was excited, a sneer suddenly came.

"A group of ignorant people were actually deceived by a few sweet words. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous."

Only then did everyone realize that Peng Qing was still alive.

Many of the people present were captured by Peng Qing and used as slaves.

The villagers gnashed their teeth one by one and glared at Peng Qing, who was kneeling on the ground.

At this moment, Peng Qing's right arm was cut off and he had lost too much blood. His face was pale, but he was looking at everyone with a sneer on his lips, as if he was mocking their ignorance.

Peng Qing then looked up at Chen Mo and said: "I admit that I underestimated you, but can you and these stupid people fight against the Yamen and the court? It is simply a daydream. There are thousands of garrison troops in the city and countless Qinghe gangs. Qian, I will destroy you all effortlessly."

"Don't bother Peng Captou." Chen Mo said coldly: "Does Peng Captou want to live?"

"Do you think I can still survive?"

Peng Qing is not a warrior who just started his career like Chen Mo, but he also knows some medical skills. He knows that with his current physical condition, he will not live for long. Besides, with a broken arm, he is equivalent to a disabled person. Even if he can go back alive, He won't live long either.

"Don't even think about getting anything from me. My family is in the city and I won't say anything."

Seeing the death wish in Peng Qing's eyes, Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that it was impossible to get what he wanted from his mouth.

Uh-huh!

Tang Dao swiped across Peng Qing's neck, giving him a pleasant blow.

After wiping the blood from the knife on Peng Qing's body, Chen Mo looked at Zhang He, Han Wu and others and ordered: "Tear off all the armor from these officers and soldiers."

"Yes, Brother Mo." Zhang He responded loudly.

Han Wu said: "No."

"Are any of you literate?" Chen Mo looked around at everyone and asked.

"I can read."

A strong man who looked a bit honest came out, touched the back of his head and said, "Master Chen Xian, I used to be an apprentice in a drug store in the city for several years, and the storekeeper of the drug store taught me some enlightenment."

"what's your name?"

"Wang Ping." said the honest and strong man.

Chen Mo nodded: "Wang Ping, write down all the brothers who were injured or killed just now, then go to my house to get money and meat, and distribute them to their families. From today on, I will give you a monthly salary of three hundred Wen."

Wang Ping became more energetic when he heard that there was still money to be received: "Thank you, Immortal Master Chen."

"I can also read."

"I will too."

After hearing Wang Ping's treatment, two more villagers came out and said that they could read.

Chen Mo blinked, looked at everyone, and said: "Who else can read? Anyone who can read can come out and get money."

"My mother knows how to do it. She used to be a wet nurse. Her boss taught her some words. Can she do it?" a voice came from the crowd.

"Okay." Chen Mo said.

The immediate crisis has been resolved, but more crises are still to come. Chen Mo currently has too many things to deal with, and he must find someone to help him, and capable people are his first choice.

But even if he said he had the money, only four of the hundreds of people could read, including the one who said he was a mother-in-law.

Chen Mo asked them to listen to Wang Ping and offered them a monthly salary of 240 Wen, which was slightly less than Wang Ping. He asked them to count how many people were willing to hang out with him, how many armors and weapons they had seized, and to collect information from the corpses. Keep a record of the money you collect.

Later, he called on the villagers to tidy up the village.

Drag the corpses of the officers and soldiers to a wasteland, dig a hole and bury them.

Spring has already begun. If these corpses are not processed, there is no guarantee that there will be no plague.

Bloodstains on the ground were covered with soil to avoid attracting flies and mosquitoes.

After that, Chen Mo asked the villagers of Liuzhuang and Xiaogao Village to move their families to Fuze Village and Wangjiazhuang first.

These villages were too spread out, and Chen Mo had to gather these people together to manage them.

…

the other side,

Village entrance.

Wu Shan and others haven't left yet.

"Brother, if we just go back like this, nothing will happen?"

"Yes, boss, there are so many people coming out, and now it's just the three of us who are going back. How can we explain to the adults, or else we voted for Chen Mo?"

“What about our family in the city?”

Wu Shan thought deeply for a while and planned to go back and ask Chen Mo to see if there was anything he could do.
