On the day when the reward is awarded, the bustle of the inspection office can only be compared to the monthly payment time.
It was approaching the time of duty, and Chu Mu arrived at the inspection station.
The inspection station, which is not too big, is already extremely noisy and bustling with people.
For more than a month, there was a crackdown on thieves, and hundreds of inspections were carried out at the inspection station. It was like new people were replaced by old ones, and a dozen changes were made.
Chu Mu was new here and didn't know many people. Now when he looked around, all the faces seemed to be unfamiliar.
"Team upright!"
"Team upright!"
When he walked into the inspection station, Chu Mu was ready to find a place to hang out as usual, but the greetings that rang out one after another caught Chu Mu off guard.
There were strange faces one after another, and there were calls of respectful captains.
At this time, Chu Mu seemed to realize that he was no longer the unknown ordinary patrol inspector before.
Going into the mountains to slay thieves, getting a few heads, and a few promotions on inspections were enough to give him a bit more fame in Nanshan Town.
The team is...
Looking around, everyone was looking at them with hospitality. Chu Mu slowly tasted this title in his heart, and the feeling in his heart was actually a little hard to describe.
This was the first time in his life that he had experienced such a feeling.
This taste seems... not bad?
It's not that he is greedy for power and fame, but... this feeling seems to make Chu Mu feel a lot more secure.
Martial arts is inner, the sense of security given to oneself.
But now...this is the outside, the...security brought by the improvement of power and status.
Chu Mu smiled and chatted with the inspectors one after another as if he was self-taught. The confidence and confidence brought by martial arts practice seemed to be quietly changing Chu Mu.
It wasn't until the shouts of gathering rang out that Chu Mu stopped chatting with his colleagues and headed towards the gathering place.
Generally speaking, receiving an award is a joyful process, but this time at the Nanshan Inspection Station, the atmosphere was obviously completely different.
After all, the inspections were conducted by local people, the inspection offices were also local government offices, and the casualties were all local.
But this time, a one-time inspection with more than a hundred casualties was obviously not too heavy for a small town like Nanshan.
The new faces everywhere in the inspection station, as well as the inspection family members who came to receive pension rewards, were more or less sad, and it seemed that this reward was enveloped with a layer of indescribable depression.
The deceased will receive a pension, and the living will be promoted and rich.
In a sense, the promotion and rewards given to Chu Mu and others were undoubtedly extremely dazzling under this pressure.
It seems that due to the influence of this atmosphere, the award ceremony was also extremely brief.
It was like giving out a monthly salary. They went up one by one to receive the rewards, and then hurriedly dispersed and went back to their homes.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same. If there are those who are relieved, there will naturally be those who are happy.
Chu Mu was not exactly happy, but at this moment, he was also surrounded by sounds of congratulations.
From ordinary inspection, promoted to team leader...
The monthly salary is five silvers more, including black gold, which is ten silvers more per month.
The armor he wears has also been changed from the cotton armor worn by ordinary patrolmen to the iron plate armor worn by the team leader.
The inspection badge is also engraved with the word "Team Upright".
Although the position of captain is not a big one, it also means that Chu Mu has been promoted from being managed to managing people.
The power of dozens of people under his command cannot be underestimated.
Surrounded by everyone, Chu Mu really dealt with it well, and promised a banquet at Fengxue Tower in the evening, and then he was able to leave the inspection station.
The injury has not healed, and although he has been promoted to public office, it is obvious that it will be impossible for Chu Mu to perform his duties in a short period of time.
After leaving the inspection station, Chu Mu didn't stop and went straight to the private school.
I have been reading and literacy for more than a month. I used to be able to read some popular books and I could understand it almost even by guessing. But now I read professional books such as medicine, which are related to my martial arts practice. Naturally, I can't expect to guess even by guessing.
Reading through is a must.
Literacy must also be complete.
After attending the private school for more than a month, Chu Mu was naturally familiar with the roads. He walked along the alley and arrived at the gate of Chang's Mansion not long after.
The door of the mansion is open, and the sound of reading loudly in the mansion can be heard clearly.
Spending dozens of dollars on repairs and education, this era obviously does not conform to the theorem of poor scholars and rich military officials.
It should be said that one is rich in literature, and the richer one is, the more talented he is in martial arts.
But in this Changfu private school, there are also many young children studying.
After all, guarding the treasure mountain of Nanshan Iron Mine, just a little bit of oil and water is enough to make many people happy.
Although the cost of studying is high, for many people, it is nothing.
The scholars of this era are no different from the scholars of previous generations.
They all study, and then get fame, be a child student, a scholar, a scholar...
One step at a time, one level at a time...one level at a time!
To this day, Chu Mu has not thought about whether he should continue to study.
After all, compared to the benefits brought by fame and official service, the future of martial arts... seemed to interest Chu Mu more.
With thoughts flying in his heart, Chu Mu also entered the private school.
At present, Chu Mu's journey of reading and literacy has already entered the fast lane.
Most of them are already literate in basic Chinese characters. Now that they are in private school, more of them are the few volumes of medical books that Mr. Li obtained.
The only difference between studying in a private school and studying in Mingxintang is that the purpose of reading medical books in a private school is to understand the words in the medical books that are unknown and whose meaning is unknown.
In Mingxintang, he studied the knowledge in medical books and laid the foundation for practicing martial arts after his body recovered.
One morning, one afternoon, until dusk, Chu Mu walked out of Chang's Mansion, and then... went straight to Fengyue Tower.
Banquets for promotions and sophistication are inevitable in this era.
It wasn't until midnight, when the curfew had already passed, that Chu Mu walked out of Fengyue Tower with the other inspectors.
The so-called curfew obviously has no binding force on a group of people who have just finished their patrol inspection.
After all, curfews are also enforced and supervised by inspections.
After watching his drunk colleagues and superiors leave one by one, Chu Mu headed home.
The injury was not healed, and there was no room for him to indulge in alcohol and debauchery. Naturally, he had not touched a drop of alcohol in Feng Yue Tower, nor had he indulged in the slightest.
Chu Mu touched the wound on his abdomen, and the faint numbness undoubtedly proved the degree of healing of the wound.
In just a few days, he went from being almost disemboweled to healing to this point.
The prescription prepared by Mr. Li is obviously very effective.
"It shouldn't take more than a month."
Chu Mu thought to himself that with this healing speed, he would be almost fully recovered in about ten days.
In the midst of his thoughts, Chu Mu's slowly moving steps suddenly stagnated.
Subconsciously, Chu Mu grasped the handle of the knife at his waist.
At this moment, his eyes locked on the roof of an inn in front of him on the left.
In the darkness, figures could be seen flickering, but several figures in black leaped across the roof, like monkeys, and disappeared from Chu Mu's field of vision after a few ups and downs.
