Chapter 112 Care

In winter, the morning sun rises, but when it hits people, they only feel the sun on their faces, and can't feel the slightest warmth.

Chen Mo sits on a chair in the main hall, holding a yellow cat in his arms, and a black dog at his feet.

Zhao Yu brought the cat and dog from other people's homes at the market. Cats are kept to prevent rats, and dogs are kept to guard the house.

But now they are both too young, and it will take some time before they can really play a role.

Chen Mo opens the porcelain bottle, uses his inner strength to take out a drop of nourishing spirit liquid, gently prys open the cat's mouth, and feeds it.

He then grabs the puppy and feeds it a drop as well.

The nourishing spirit liquid is different from the mirage spirit. The blood and qi power contained in the mirage spirit will be completely swallowed up by the Transformation Pearl regardless of whether it can be absorbed by itself.

The nourishing spirit liquid increases spiritual consciousness, which can enable warriors to better open up the sea of ​​consciousness.

Its power can only be absorbed and refined by oneself.

So before that, I can't absorb it rashly, I have to make sure that the nourishing spirit liquid has no hidden dangers and harm.

Although the small amount of absorption previously did not cause any harm to himself, it was hard to say what would happen next, so it was better to be safe.

"It's time to eat." Zhao Yu pushed the door and walked into the main hall.

"Okay." Chen Mo put down the cat and dog and let them run away.

Zhao Yu walked in front of him and helped him sweep away the cat and dog hair on his body.

"I have something to do today, so don't prepare my meal at noon."

Chen Mo explained while eating breakfast on the table.

Since he had promised Wei Xia before that he would help her take care of her family, he should of course abide by the agreement and do it immediately.

Regardless of whether the nourishing liquid is useful to him or not, even if using it again will cause hidden dangers to himself.

But Chen Mo will do what he has promised, otherwise he would not have agreed to it in the first place.

"Okay, then I'll have someone prepare more dinner." Zhao Yu didn't ask what it was, and agreed with a smile.

She knew that Chen Mo would definitely be busy with official business next, and he would definitely not have time to eat well at noon. Of course, the dishes in the evening should be more abundant to reward him for his busy day.

After eating and drinking two pots of tea, Chen Mo took a short rest and left the house.

He did not go alone. It was easy to give the silver, but he wanted Wei Xia's family to hold the silver.

Then he had to call a few clerks and He Luoyun to go with him.

The information that Chen Mo asked him to find before was all done by him, and he was the only one who knew the specific situation of Wei Xia's family in the village.

First go to the military camp to call a few clerks, and then ask someone to find He Luoyun.

Not long after, He Luoyun hurried to the military camp with a few followers.

"Sir, I don't know what you want to call me for!" Seeing Chen Mo, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, bowed and said.

During this period of time, relying on Chen Mo, his business has been growing bigger and bigger.

Transporting private salt is a huge profit, and these businesses can only be done by him, so it didn't take much effort, and his business expanded rapidly.

"Do you still remember the situation at Wei Xia's house that I asked you to investigate some time ago?" Chen Mo asked.

"Your Excellency, I remember it." He Luoyun hurriedly answered. Although he was a little curious about why Chen Mo suddenly mentioned this matter, he didn't dare to ask more.

In fact, when Chen Mo asked him to investigate these things before, he was already quite curious in his heart. As a seventh-rank official of the court, why did Chen Mo have to investigate those ghost rumors.

But he was able to control his mouth, not only did he not ask more, but he also didn't say more.

This is also the reason why Chen Mo is willing to hand these things over to him, he can keep things in his heart.

"Okay, take it to Wei Xia's house now." Chen Mo jumped on the horse.

"Ah!" He Luoyun was stunned at first, and then he immediately reacted. He didn't dare to ask more questions and rode in front of Chen Mo to lead the way.

The remaining officials and their personal followers drove their horses behind Chen Mo.

Eighty miles is not far, not close, and it takes only an hour to ride a horse.

Shuangshi Village got its name because there are two ten-thousand-jin stubborn stones at the entrance of the village.

There are no mountains nearby, and no one knows where these two big stones came from.

Chen Mo and his party were riding horses, and before they arrived at the entrance of the village, someone came to greet them.

There were more than a dozen people riding horses, and some were wearing official robes, which naturally attracted a lot of attention and were noticed early.

"Sir, I am the head of Shuangshi Village. May I know who you are?" An old man in his fifties, wearing a cotton coat and gray hair, bowed respectfully and asked.

"I am the chief of the local Salt Transport Bureau. I am here today to find a young man named Wei Dong."

Chen Mo helped the old man up with his hand, without hiding his intention.

"Sir, Wei Dong is an honest and decent child. He usually only works near our village to support his mother and has never done anything bad."

Hearing that Chen Mo came to find Wei Dong, the old man instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.

After all, even if there is a good thing, it is not the turn of Wei Dong, a poor man who can't read and can only work hard.

"I came to him this time to thank his family." Chen Mo said the prepared speech.

"Ah!" The old man was also stunned, and he was completely unexpected.

He Luoyun came up at this time. This place is not far from Zhuniuji, which is also the scope of his business.

There are many young and strong people in Shuangshi Village who work for him to make a living.

"Old headman, why don't you take Mr. Chen to Wei Dong's house quickly."

After being reminded, the old man reacted and surrounded Chen Mo all the way to the village.

Although I don't know why Chen Mo wants to thank the Wei family, I think this is also a good thing.

But Chen Mo is an official, and he can't stop what he wants to do.

The old thatched house that Wei Dong's family lived in was relatively spacious, but it looked dilapidated because they had no money to repair it.

He was burning the stove, and when he saw so many people coming, his honest and simple face was obviously at a loss, unable to reflect what was happening in front of him.

But when he saw the official robe on Chen Mo, he still instinctively bowed down.

"I have something to discuss with him privately, and I will also go find his third sister Wei Qiu." Chen Mo looked at He Luoyun and explained.

"Hey!" He nodded in agreement and hurried to find someone.

"Sir, you..." Wei Dong was clumsy and obviously didn't know how to speak at this time.

When I saw him walking into the house, I just hurriedly followed him.

"Sir, please sit down." He hurriedly found a wide stool and carefully held it to Chen Mo.

As for his mother, she was huddled beside the stove in the house.

The fire was not strong, but only slightly warm.

Seeing Chen Mo walking into the house, she hurriedly saluted with fear.

"My lord, I wonder why you came to our house!" Mother Wei, with gray hair, asked softly, leaning on a cane.

"Old man, please sit down first." Chen Mo said with a smile.

He could tell that Wei Xia's mother didn't have any serious illness.

In other words, there is only one disease, hunger disease.

The treatment is even simpler. Eat more white flour and meat, and your body will naturally recover.

"Sir, I wonder why you are looking for a civilian girl?" Wei Qiu looked frightened and walked into the house and saluted hurriedly.

She is about thirty years old and is dressed in coarse cotton clothes, the most ordinary farmer's outfit.

Chen Mo waved his hand, his inner energy vibrated, and the door closed immediately.

"Do you have a sister named Wei Xia? She was sold to Zhu Niuji Wang's family seventeen years ago." Chen Mo asked as he glanced at the two of them.

"Yes." Both of them nodded in agreement. Although they were still young at that time, they remembered this matter very clearly.

"I have been helped by your sister, and I promised to help her take care of you." Chen Mo said slowly.

The remaining people in the room looked obviously dull, and they really couldn't understand this. They wanted to ask, but some of them didn't dare to ask, so they had to look at each other.

Chen Mo had no intention of explaining to them. If he really wanted to explain, it would be too complicated for them.

"But you can't let too many people know that your sister has helped me. So if anyone asks you, just say that you have helped me." Chen Mo looked at Wei Dong and explained.

If the fact that Wei Xia helped him was spread, someone would definitely be suspicious.

As long as a caring person does a little investigation, he will find that he was not in Zhuniuji seventeen years ago, and Wei Xia would not have the chance to help him while he was still alive.

The value of ghosts and spirits is quite high, and both warriors and Qigong practitioners will be attracted by them.

If this matter really spreads, it will inevitably cause trouble.

With Chen Mo's strength, although he is not afraid of most people who want to seek more ghosts and spirits, he also doesn't want to sit around and take the initiative to cause a lot of trouble for himself.

"Ah!" Wei Dong was still confused and didn't react at all. What happened in front of him was beyond his expectation.

Chen Mo didn't say any more, giving them enough time to slowly accept the matter.

"Sir, has my sister really helped you?" Wei Dong was honest and honest, not a fool. He really couldn't figure out how his sister could help Chen Mo.

But if his sister hadn't helped him, then why did the other party suddenly come to look for him.

This really left Monk Zhang Er scratching his head.

"Don't ask this again. Anyway, she helped me before, and I promised her to help her take care of her family." Chen Mo did not answer this question.

"Thank you, sir!" Mother Wei was the first to react and bowed in thanks.

Wei Qiu and Wei Dong also reacted quickly.

They didn't know what exactly Wei Xia had helped Chen Mo.

Let them understand that after seventeen years, their daughter and sister helped them again.

"You must not tell others what I mentioned today, no matter who it is.

If someone asks, just say you helped me before, and don’t say more if asked again. "Chen Mo explained carefully to Wei Dong and others.

"I understand, I will never tell anyone about this!" He nodded repeatedly.

Wei's mother and Wei Qiu also repeatedly promised that they would never tell anyone about this matter.

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo opened the door and called He Luoyun, "Go back and find someone to repair this room first, and then build a brick house here in the spring."

As Chen Mo said, he took out the banknotes from his arms. Naturally, He Luoyun did not dare to take them. He only accepted the banknotes after Chen Mo said that one code would return to one code.

"Besides, since his man is working in your salt mine, you should help take care of him." Chen Mo pointed to Wei Qiudao again.

Her financial situation is slightly better, but she can only afford enough food, otherwise she would not be able to help her brother even if she wants to.

"Hey, I'll tell my men when I get back." He Luoyun agreed repeatedly.

After arranging these matters, Chen Mo took out two bags of broken silver that had been prepared. Each bag contained ten taels of broken silver and handed them to the two of them respectively.

"Keep this money, if you don't know how to start a small business, just keep it and spend it slowly."

"Sir, you have helped me a lot. I will never ask for this money again." Wei Dong refused in a deep voice without picking up the money bag.

"This silver is not mine, but your eldest sister left it in my hands. Now I am just returning it to you." Chen Mo opened his mouth and threw the bag of silver to the two of them.

"I will give Wei Dong two taels of silver from my account every month, so that he can take care of his mother at home." Chen Mo looked at He Luoyun again.

Two taels of silver is not a small amount. Even near Zhuniuji, a strong laborer can only get one tael, three or four coins in a month.

After doing these things, Chen Mo did not leave, and was kept in the village for hospitality.

Before leaving, Wei's mother handed him a package.

"My lord, my daughter has a miserable life. She fell to death in the well and there is no body left. You also live in Zhuniuji. I have some things here. I hope you can help burn them for her."

When she said this, tears flashed in her turbid eyes.

"Okay." Chen Mo took the package and agreed.

When he rode back to Zhuniuji, the sun had begun to gradually set.

In winter, it always gets dark too early, as if urging people to go to bed early.

The cats and dogs that had been fed with the nourishing spirit liquid before are still normal now.

Even because their spirits were warmed up, they looked more alert than usual.

After returning home, Chen Mo did not rush to find Wei Xia, but continued to carefully observe the cats and dogs that had been fed with the nourishing liquid.

After confirming that they were fine, Chen Mo walked into the training room and took out the heart that he had hunted in the Mirage Sea before.

Although it had left the Mirage Sea, it was still beating, but it was beating very slowly.
