Great Xuanwu Sheng

Chapter 21 Sluggishness

Brother Chen, please take good care of me in the future.

The two men who followed Min Baoyi saw that Min Baoyi turned and left. At this time, they all smiled at Chen Mu and spoke without daring to exaggerate in their tone.

Although both of them are older than Chen Mu, they always call him Brother Chen, and they don't even dare to shout it in front of Min Baoyi. After all, Min Baoyi asked Chen Mu to call him Brother, and they are not qualified. He and Chasi are brothers.

You're welcome.

Chen Mu raised his hands to the two poor men.

Naturally, he knew these two people, one was named Wang and the other was named Zhong. Since they were not in charge of his duties, they didn’t have much interaction in the past. Occasionally, they would bow their heads and salute when they met him, but now they not only take the initiative to show their kindness , and even lowered his profile.

Brother Chen, if you have anything to do, go back first. I can take care of it here.

Wang Chatou said to Chen Mu with a smile.

Chen Mu was not too polite, he cupped his hands and walked directly into his house.

And as soon as he left.

Wang Cha turned his head to look at Wang Zhao and others. The smile on his face immediately turned cold. He raised his hand and slapped Wang Zhao on the face. He said: Those who don't have eyes are still from the same family as me. Chen Brother is also someone you can provoke? Get up, everyone!

Wang Zhao and others were all pale and trembling, but they did not dare to disobey and followed Wang Chatou away staggeringly.

At this moment,

The entire street, which seemed to be frozen, gradually began to dissolve. Behind the closed doors, pairs of eyes emerged from the cracks in the doors, moving to look at each other, with still a look of shock in their eyes.

As neighbors on the same street, they all naturally knew Chen Mu, but in the past their impression was that of a poor and poor hard worker. Who would have thought that today there would be thunder and lightning? What kind of drama is this?

But even though it was unclear how Chen Mu got to know such a high-ranking figure as Min Baoyi, everyone knew that Chen Mu would be completely different from now on.

far away.

Several members of the Red Gold Gang who came after hearing the news, after watching the whole farce, immediately looked at each other, then turned around in unison and left quickly.

They need to report this matter to the incense master and the gang leader as soon as possible. A person who suddenly appears and can make Min Baoyi his brother is absolutely extraordinary and is a big event.

The son of the old Chen family is going to have a successful career.

A skinny old man sitting at the entrance of the alley, holding a cigarette pipe in his mouth, saw that the door of Chen Mu's house had become quiet again. He exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed, then stood up. As he walked, he gently tapped the board with his cigarette rod. He hummed as he walked:

One year spent similar, each year is different……

The figure gradually disappeared into the alley.

Another alley entrance.

Half of Zhang Hai's somewhat bloated body was hidden behind the mud wall. At this moment, his whole body seemed to be stuck with the mud wall, frozen there motionless, with a dull look in his small eyes.

My heart was even more confused and chaotic.

He came very early and watched the whole show. He originally wanted to watch Chen Mu's jokes, but things took a turn for the worse with the appearance of Min Baoyi.

I was shocked that Min Baoyi, a dignified police officer, would appear in such a place, and then he was even more shocked that his eyes almost popped out and he fell to the ground, and his jaw almost broke.

What did he see?

Min Baoyi... and Chen Mu are brothers!

What kind of existence was Min Baoyi? The policemen within a mile of Nancheng District were so superior that they were almost completely different from the ordinary poor people. Even the squires who lived in Jiutiao Li Nei Street had to be polite when meeting Min Baoyi. , behave yourself.

Incomprehensible.

Even in a dream, such a thing cannot happen.

This scene shocked Zhang Hai so much that he could no longer hear or see the subsequent scenes. His ears seemed to be stuffed with cotton wool and his eyes were painted with paint.

He stood there with such a dull look on his face. He didn't know how long it had passed. His legs were numb. He finally came to his senses after stumbling. However, he shook his head vigorously and still felt that his brain was filled with mud. , at a loss and at a loss.

Go inside the house.

What Chen Mu saw at a glance was Wang Ni who was frightened and obviously crying, and Chen Yue who seemed to be listening carefully to what was going on outside and looking at him with blinking eyes.

elder brother?

Chen Yue shouted.

Although she and Wang Ni were hiding in the corner of the room and could not see the scene outside, they could hear the sounds outside, but it made her a little dazed, because even she was a little confused. How did Chen Mu know someone like Min Baoyi? .

Chasi of the Kutiao City Guards... She knew that he was responsible for patrolling the security of tens of thousands of households in Kutiao. Even Chen Mu once told her that in today's chaotic world, Chasi was almost like a local emperor in a region. .

Although Chen Mu had said something to her about 'moving', 'good times are coming', etc. in the past few days, Chen Mu had always said that in the past, so she didn't have such strong feelings.

but……

What happened today made her confused, and she finally felt different.

The messenger from the City Guards Department arrived in person and called Chen Mu brothers.

In the past, it seemed that it was just an expectation, a hope, a ray of light that supported the way forward. Suddenly, it was so close that she could even reach out and touch it. This came out of the blue and made her little head feel dizzy. .

Chen Mu walked up to Chen Yue, stretched out his hand and tapped her nose with a smile, and then looked around with some emotion, looking at the mud walls around the house, as well as the faded and decayed tables and stools, the seams Mended quilts.

He has memories of more than ten years here.

And three years of life.

Eating Chen rice, chewing rough steamed buns, Wowo... There are not even enough thick quilts in winter. If you want to squeeze together with Chen Yue, you have to hug her on the same bed to keep warm and sleep.

She couldn't afford new clothes or a new coat, and because the world was unstable, she could only keep Chen Yue at home and not let her go out.

Be cautious in everything, dare not offend anyone, dare not get involved in any trouble, keep your head down, be careful in doing things, work diligently, day after day, year after year, finally starting from the past few days, you have money and strength. , gained confidence.

And until today, it has to completely change its appearance.

Chen Mu stepped forward, hugged Chen Yue in his arms, hugged her tightly, then breathed softly, touched her head, and said: I will go to the City Guards Department later, and then tomorrow... we will move .”

……good.

Chen Yue raised her head and nodded hard twice in Chen Mu's arms.

Her lovely big eyes shone with the light of 'hope and joy'.

The past two days have been full of ups and downs, from the fright at night to the trouble during the day. But she has always believed in Chen Mu and believed in every word of her brother. No matter how scared or panicked, she endured it and forced herself on. Bear with it.

finally.

Such days have dawned.

After Chen Mu comforted Chen Yue and Wang Ni, he didn't wait too long, hid the silver coins, placed the gold and jade skins close to his body, and then set off for the City Guards Department.

The door latch is broken.

But Chen Mu didn't care. Even if the door was just ajar now, it was 'sturdier' ​​than the previous door bolt.

Wang Zhao and others outside the door have long since disappeared, and the two poor men have also disappeared. There are only scattered figures in the alley in the distance, gathered in twos and threes, not knowing what they are talking about.

Seeing the door here open and Chen Mu walking out, those people immediately became quiet.

Seeing Chen Mu approaching, people along the way gave way. Whether they were nearby neighbors or a few idle gangsters, they all moved out of the way carefully. They even put on a smile when they saw Chen Mu looking at him.

Chen Mu ignored him and walked straight through the alley, quickly disappearing, leaving only a look of awe and envy.
