After what happened to Zhou Liang and Zheng Huan, Chen Mu didn't want to go out.
Hide at home behind closed doors to improve your proficiency.
Three days later, Chen Mu was having lunch when the faint sound of gongs was heard outside.
After that, some people shouted intermittently.
Chen Mu listened attentively.
The government finally stepped in to restore order.
Even so, he stayed at home for another two days before going out.
…
On the streets of Dongshi.
The prosperity of the past is no longer there.
There was little traffic and the shops on both sides of the road had broken doors and windows, causing serious damage.
Walking on the street, you can hear crying and howling coming from the alleys from time to time.
Before he had gone far, he encountered two waves of funeral processions.
There is still money to mourn.
There are still an unknown number of corpses wrapped in ragged straw mats buried in mass graves outside the city.
I originally wanted to buy some fresh meat from Zheng Tu.
But when he saw the other party's closed shop from a distance, he knew that there was no chance.
So I turned around and went to Anlefang Bafanglou.
Many of the doors, windows, tables and chairs were new, and they were probably looted and damaged by others.
There were quite a few people drinking tea and chatting in the lobby.
Chen Mu is not the only one who comes here to collect information.
As usual, I bought a pot of tea and a plate of melon seeds, sat in a corner, and listened to the storyteller talk about the causes and consequences of the banditry a few days ago.
The gray scarf army defeated the city and broke through...
Aishan bandits took advantage of the situation to rob...
The traitors in the city are attacking the city...
The wealthy family was wiped out...
Chen Mu's head hurt as he was bombarded with breaking news.
The county magistrate is missing? Did he escape or die?
The eldest young master of the Zuo family showed his power and beheaded the second leader of the Aishan bandits.
Is this still the skinny dandy in his impression?
There is a high probability that he is another old coin who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger.
"Will the defeated bandits attack the city again?" Chen Mu was most concerned about this issue.
Unfortunately, there were many different opinions in the teahouse, and even after listening for a long time, I couldn't come up with a conclusion.
"Forget it, just stay at home."
Chen Mu stood up and left, not intending to continue listening.
When I walked to the door, I saw a young man in white.
"The eldest young master of the Zuo family, Zuo Sheng?" Chen Mu almost doubted his own eyes.
The face is still the same, and the appearance is still as tall and thin.
But now his body has transformed twice, and his senses are far beyond those of ordinary people.
You can clearly feel the strong body under the other party's loose robe.
Sure enough, he is an old coin. He is still thin and dandy for his body, so go ahead and fool him!
The other party also noticed Chen Mu and nodded with a smile.
Chen Mu quickly nodded in return.
I couldn't help but murmur in my heart. Don’t you have any friendship with this young master of the Zuo family? Why are you so polite every time we meet?
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Chen Mu smiled awkwardly and left quickly.
He didn't want anything to do with this old coin.
…
"Sir, do you know this person?" the book boy behind Zuo Sheng asked curiously.
My son has a withdrawn personality, and there are not many people who can make him look good.
"So we know each other." Zuo Sheng noticed Chen Mu's quickly disappearing figure and couldn't help but chuckle.
That's the Kestrel's footwork for training.
After all, they are still brothers.
But his cheap teacher is too greedy for money, and there should be many brothers who accept him.
But if we really talk about it, this is probably the only one who can be regarded as the true biography of Master Sheng.
Zuo Sheng had a strange look on his face when he thought of the "True Kestrel Training Technique" that was once again sold on the streets in the ghost market.
"He's a pretty good painter, haha."
…
West Market, Tianyizhai.
Chen Mu stood at the door and looked left and right, always feeling something was wrong.
Isn’t this Jiejia’s antique store?
What's going on with the coffins filling the hall?
Chen Mu walked to the door and looked inside.
Just in time to catch the eye of the old man Jie Jia on the counter.
Is this really this old man?
Chen Mu looked at Jiejia with admiration.
When it comes to making money, this old guy is really ruthless.
It’s only been a few days.
A good antique shop turned into a coffin shop? !
Amazing, amazing!
"Is something wrong?" Jie Jia sat behind the counter expressionlessly.
"I want to go to the ghost market." Chen Mu said directly.
After dealing with Jie Jia for a long time, Chen Mu knew that apart from money, this old man's patience for other things was very limited.
If something happens, it's better to say it out loud.
"Twenty taels." Jie Jia turned his eyes slightly and stared at Chen Mu's sleeves, where the money bag was placed.
Chen Mu looked at Jiejia with a mocking look on his face: "You may not know it well, but Zuo Sheng, the eldest young master of the Zuo family, and I can be regarded as senior brothers. We were chatting in the Bafang Building just now."
"We just happened to be talking about the ghost market."
"Do you think he knows the price of admission to the ghost market?"
"If I didn't want others to know that I went to the ghost market, would I come to you?"
Chen Mu said calmly: "You can say another price."
Jie Jia's eyes turned back, a trace of disappointment flashed through him: "Two liang."
Chen Mu: "..."
Is it so dark? !
Ten times!
"Do I look so much like someone who was taken advantage of?" Chen Mu couldn't help but ask.
Jie Jia said nothing, but glanced at Chen Mu lightly.
Chen Mu suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
…
Daliang 639, April 23rd.
Chen Mu wrapped herself tightly and took a car to the ghost market alone.
It was different from what he imagined.
It was thought to be a ghost market, but in retrospect, the east and west cities in the city were equally depressed.
However, the number of tourists here has increased sharply, with more than double the number of people compared to the last time we came to the ghost market.
Even though he had subconsciously lowered his voice, the entire ghost market still became noisy.
If everyone hadn't wrapped themselves up tightly, Chen Mu would have thought he was in an open-air market.
Chen Mu walked silently on the streets of the deserted village, quietly observing the vendors on both sides of the road.
Compared to the past, there are many more people buying and selling jade and antiques.
Qingshan County was invaded by rebels and looted by Aishan bandits. Many people died and many became fat.
If it weren't for him having some tricks.
Zhou Liang and Zheng Huan might also appear here again.
Chen Mu stopped wandering and went straight to a broken house.
…
"Do you want to buy or sell?" A man wearing a fat monk mask with a smiling face asked calmly sitting behind a square table.
"Buy the secret book." Chen Mu sat down opposite him and replied.
"Do you have any special requirements?" the smiling masked man asked.
Chen Mu's heart moved: "Is there any training technique?"
"The guest wants to practice body art?" The smiling masked man couldn't help but raise his voice.
"Really?" Chen Mu looked at the wooden cabinet behind him in surprise.
Although both forms of training can transform people, they have different emphases.
Kestrel training mainly focuses on speed. There is no advantage in terms of strength.
If he can master other training techniques that complement each other, he can transform and develop in all directions!
"This guest is really lucky!" The smiling masked man turned around and took out a scroll from behind.
"I just received a precious practice drawing recently. The workmanship of this drawing is exquisite, the notes are detailed, and it is extremely easy to use." The smiling mask man eagerly opened the scroll by a third: "Guests, please take a look."
There is a row of lifelike little figures in the middle.
The right side is densely packed with tiny characters.
A row of elegant characters on the left - "True Kestrel Training Technique"
Chen Mu: "..."
"Not one thousand taels, not five hundred taels, just one hundred and eighty-eight taels. You can't suffer a loss or be cheated. It's absolutely worth every penny!"
Chen Mu: "..."
hehe……
