The chaos came unexpectedly.
One night in April, Chen Mu was sleeping deeply.
A scream came.
Chen Mu woke up with a start.
Listening carefully, the faint wailing made him realize that something had happened!
He quickly put on some clothes and jumped up to the roof.
I saw fires burning everywhere in the city, and the sounds of fighting and screaming came one after another.
The rebel army attacked the city? !
He didn't dare to go out and run around.
In this kind of chaos, one could lose one's life if one is not careful.
He could only sit on the roof and pay careful attention to all the movements around him.
Fortunately, the bandits did not attack the civilians immediately.
Mainly going to the big houses in the city.
Most of the fires were concentrated in the central area of the city.
He stared at the surroundings nervously until daylight broke out, and the shouts of death gradually disappeared.
Accompanied by the faint sound of horses galloping and whistling, Qingshan County fell into a brief calm.
When the sun rises, the sound of crying and howling comes one after another.
In a night of chaos, an unknown number of people lost their lives.
Chen Mu closed the door tightly and made up his mind to stay at home and not go out.
The thieves had just left, but the chaos was not over yet.
"Fortunately, I stocked up on a batch of food before."
As food prices continued to rise and news of rebellious troops continued to spread, he had a bad feeling and decisively stocked up on food and medicinal materials.
At this moment, I have food in my hands and I am not panicking.
All the gates of the three houses were sealed with wooden sticks.
Chen Mu huddled at home quietly brushing up on his proficiency.
"Wait, wait until it calms down completely, then go out and explore."
…
Two days later in the evening.
Chen Mu finished his day of practice and had a meal and rest.
Listen carefully to what's going on around you.
The chaos is still not over.
Sporadic screams could still be heard in the middle of the night.
"I don't know what the county government soldiers are doing?"
Two days have passed, but the government still hasn't come out to clear up the chaos and restore order.
"You won't be completely killed by the bandits, right?"
The idea that I had just raised to go out and have a look was immediately abandoned.
With his martial arts skills, he can outrun strong men even if he cannot defeat them.
But once it is revealed that he knows martial arts, it may arouse curiosity and investigation from others, and eventually lead to trouble.
"You can live longer if you work harder."
The water in this world is quite deep.
…
Anlefang, Dongshi.
The door of Miaohuafang shop is open.
Inside, calligraphy, painting, paper and ink were scattered everywhere.
The counter was also pushed over.
There are still some blood stains on the wall.
Zhou Liang and Zheng Huan walked out of the shop with unlucky looks.
"It was so clean, not a single copper was left for us two brothers!" Zhou Liang said bitterly.
"All the wealthy shops nearby have been robbed. Why don't you go visit the homes of those wealthy families in Shengyefang?" Zheng Huan said unwillingly.
"Those large households whose doors were broken down have long been robbed." Zhou Liang said helplessly: "We brothers can't get in even if their doors haven't been broken down."
"If that doesn't work, just find a few small businesses. If you add up, you can't go empty-handed." Zheng Huan gritted his teeth.
Bandits broke into the county town and the city was in chaos.
For gangsters like them, it was a gluttonous feast.
The desires that are usually hidden in my heart are completely released.
Burning, killing and looting were all done.
"What's the benefit of those small households?" Zhou Liang rolled his eyes and smiled: "Have you forgotten Chen Mu?"
Zheng Huan's eyes lit up: "Twenty taels per painting, that's a fat sheep!"
"It's a pity that old man Yan disappeared and the family property was divided up long ago. Otherwise..." Zhou Liang said regretfully.
"Let's go, let's take down this kid first!" Zheng Huan urged in a row: "That kid knows how to eat meat when he makes money, and he doesn't know how to spend it. He has to save hundreds of taels of silver anyway!"
"Then let's teach him how to spend it!"
The two of them had daggers on their waists and entered the alley with excitement on their faces.
In two days of chaos, they had killed and looted more than once. Their eyes were bloodshot, and their greed had completely taken over their brains.
…
Ping'an Square, in front of Chen's house.
The two of them looked inside through the crack in the door.
"The door is still closed."
"There's no point in opening the door. Don't even think about running away with these hundreds of taels of silver!"
"Step on my shoulders and climb over the wall!"
Zheng Huan squatted down and stood firm, while Zhou Liang stepped on his shoulders to climb over the wall.
Riding on the wall, Zhou Liang looked excitedly towards the courtyard and saw a figure standing upside down on the stone pier in the courtyard.
The other party's upper body was naked, and his plump muscles were pumping blood and swelling.
The left hand is behind the back, and the index finger and thumb of the right hand are spread apart in a figure eight shape to support the stone pier.
The opponent actually stood upside down in the air with only two fingers!
Zhou Liang's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but look at the upside down face.
This is... is this the thin scholar? !
His scalp suddenly felt numb.
How do those well-defined muscles have anything to do with being thin? !
Chen Mu looked at the figure jumping up the wall in surprise.
Zhou Liang?
He immediately turned over in the air and stood firm on his knees on the stone pier.
Staring at the shocked face on the wall, he couldn't help but grin, showing his white teeth: "You discovered it..."
Whoosh!
Don't wait for Zhou Liang's reaction.
Chen Mu suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, it suddenly appeared on the wall.
The iron pliers in his right hand generally stuck Zhou Liang's neck.
The huge force did not allow the opponent to resist at all. He grabbed the opponent's neck, jumped off the wall like a chicken, and hit the opposite wall with a bang.
Zheng Huan, who was squatting under the wall, felt a blur in front of his eyes, and Zhou Liang disappeared above his head.
Turning around subconsciously.
I saw a shirtless, muscular man lifting Zhou Liang in the air with just one hand.
Seeing Zhou Liang's face turned red and his feet dangling in the air as he kicked around, Zheng Huan turned around and ran away.
Phew!
A splash of blood exploded in the knee socket.
Screams still burst out of his throat, and his neck was pinched by a big hand.
Whoosh!
The short call passed by in a flash.
The alley was empty and silent again.
…
Under the night, Chen Mu carried two grass sweepers and jumped on the rooftops.
The two physical transformations provided him with strong motivation.
He used the Kestrel training technique of leaping to the extreme.
Carrying two people, there was no sound for a long time while moving.
It was still the same deserted house. Chen Mu dug holes, buried people, filled in the soil, and familiarized himself with the doors and roads.
Then the traces on the scene were quickly cleaned up, and several ups and downs disappeared.
…
Ping'an Fang, Chen's house, inside the No. 1 house on the east side.
An oil lamp was lit on the square table.
Under dim light.
A bunch of miscellaneous things were placed on the table.
Copper plates, broken silver, daggers, lime powder, Mongolian sweat medicine, Jinyang pills...
These were items looted from Zhou Liang and Zheng Huan.
Chen Mu touched his chest, feeling that his heart was still beating fast, and said angrily: "I have to kill him again."
"It's all this damn world's fault!"
"Isn't it good to be a good person like me?"
Chen Mu sighed and checked the coins and silver coins on the table one by one.
Copper coins belong to copper coins, silver taels belong to silver taels, and Mongolian sweat medicine lime powder is thrown away, the quality is too low.
Jinyangwan? What the hell? Throw it away!
Finally, he picked up two short swords on the table.
Brown wooden hilt and scabbard, brass oval hilt, elbow to fingertip length.
Pulling the sword out of its sheath, the bright silver sword still had traces of blood on it.
"These two really deserve to die."
In two days of chaos, there were countless innocent souls killed by these two swords.
He found a piece of cloth and wiped the dagger clean: "I can only use you more to eliminate evil in the future. I hope I can atone for your sins."
Chen Mu thought about waiting for the chaos to pass before going to the ghost market to buy a secret book on swordsmanship and practice it.
Two daggers cannot be lost in vain.
