Chapter 18 Return

Now he really froze Chen Mu and didn't know what to say. He didn't have the will to care about his cousin's expenses. The money he won was not stolen or robbed. Shao Tingda spent whatever he wanted, and he couldn't even care about the king. He was just worried that Shao Tingda would be coaxed to spend five taels of silver for two hours, and was played by the brothel woman as a fool.

But now it doesn’t seem like I’ve been fooled, let alone buying rouge for my wife and looking for a brothel female staff officer. Chen Mu really couldn’t imagine that his stupid cousin was really pretty... so romantic!

Seeing that Shao Tingda was a little embarrassed, Chen Mu waved forward and asked, "What are the storytellers talking about in the tavern you mentioned? Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

He had long wanted to ask, was it the storyteller in the tavern that year, whether it was the Three Kingdoms or the Water Margin? In my impression, Journey to the West was a novel of the Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't figure it out whether there was any or not.

"Three Kingdoms? That's so old!" Shao Tingda was a rough man. When he mentioned this, he walked up to the front with his claws and said to Chen Mu with his back: "I heard a passage yesterday, which was about General Qi and General Yu in Fujian to challenge Japanese in Fujian! The two generals were so powerful that they beat the Japanese pirates raised by the bitch to the point of being pissed..."

As he said that, Shao Tingda's mood suddenly became low, and he licked his lips and said boredly: "Brother Mu, Guangzhou is so good. I don't want to go back to the ward station. I either plough the fields or do odd jobs for Shangguan all day. How could I be so comfortable here? I want to drink and eat meat."

When Shao Tingda said this, Fu Yuan showed a yearning look and nodded constantly; Shi Qi's eyes lit up, but they were still silent; Wei Balang's small body stepped forward from Chen Mu, pinched his neck and made a face, and said in a strange voice: "Brother Tingda, don't go back, we will see you being hanged at that time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Tingda slapped his head on the face and hid behind Chen Mu, screaming strangely.

"If you want to live a comfortable life in Guangzhou, you have to spend money. Just the two money in our hands is enough to spend ten days and half a month?" Chen Mu smiled and patted Shao Tingda and said, "When I go back to the ward station, I will think of a way to make some money. If I have something to eat in one bite, I won't be hungry for you."

Shao Tingda smiled. In his eyes, his brother was capable. Not to mention that he would not be hungry in the future, he had never been hungry before. Fu Yuan had a flexible head. Although he was far from very close to Chen Mu, he was the one who really tasted the sweetness. He held his fist and almost kowtowed Chen Mu in the street. He patted his chest and said, "The little one must be the leader of the small flag!"

He can also speak idioms!

Someone behind him pulled the corner of Chen Mu's clothes, turned around and Wei Balang raised his face and opened his two shiny eyes widened, and said, "Xiaoqi, I don't want to eat, can I give me a bird gun... a musket is OK!"

I'm afraid you'll blow yourself to death!

"Okay, I have a shot in my house. I'll give you back." To be honest, although Chen Mu wanted to get Wei Balang a more secure exquisite bird gun, he liked this child very much, but Wei Balang's current body is just a little taller than the bird gun. He has to tiptoe after loading gunpowder and holding a single strand of pressing bullets. It is difficult for him to aim with the bird gun. Instead, the three-foot-long fire door gun is more suitable. "You should pay attention when using it, don't hit people."

"It's okay!" The dead child raised his face and smiled like a fool, with four small radish fingers on his body, "It's time for someone to cut his head and come to Guangzhou, four taels of silver!"

"It's a 400-ounce silver!" Chen Mu raised his hand and slapped again. The group of good kids were expected to grow in the Qiubadui, so he simply pressed Wei Balang's shoulder and walked forward, "I'll teach you how to shoot guns when you go back, just practice your correct head. When you grow taller, you will get the best bird gun!"

Such a fuss was invisible because of the depressing atmosphere that was about to return to Guangzhou Prefecture.

After drinking at noon, several military households were drinking until evening when they listened to the storytellers. Fu Yuan went to the gambling stall to play for a few games. At dusk, Chen Mu brought the idle people back to the inn. Just as he was about to squint on the bed and rest for a while, he heard the noise in the inn. When he opened the door, he was Bai Yuanjie's family soldier and informed them that it was time to go back to Qingyuan after the matter was done.

Chen Mu was a little confused, "Didn't it mean I'll come back today, now?"

Now I go back and leave the city for two hours before nightfall. Why not set off again tomorrow morning?

It seemed that after the Battle of Heiling, the Bai family soldiers' attitude towards Chen Xiaoqi improved slightly, but they were not much better. The family soldiers nodded without saying much, and said, "A hundred households, Xiaoqi, please prepare to set off."

The Bai family soldiers were just a messenger, and nothing was useful to say. Chen Xiaoqi could even think of the reason why it was difficult to travel at night. Bai Yuanjie knew in his heart that there were reasons to set off. Chen Mu did not investigate deeply and thanked the Bai family soldiers, so he sent Xiaobalang to call everyone. Shao Tingda and Fu Yuan carried Old Man Zheng on their backs, packed up their luggage and set off on the road.

When everyone came, most of them had empty hands, including swords, guns, spears and food, and they all saluteed when they left. Chen Mu rode a horse and wore satin leather boots, Shao Tingda had several boxes of rouge and water powder, and the rest bought some small things. Wei Balang secretly wrapped the rock sugar red fruit in oil paper and put it in his arms, and did not forget to stuff an old man Zheng's mouth that was so painful that he was humming.

"Sweet and sour, no pain!"

If they had experienced a bloody battle when they came to Guangzhou Prefecture, they had a bit of a murderous atmosphere, and had a little bit of a troop atmosphere. After seeing the prosperity of Guangzhou Prefecture for two days, they walked back from Guangzhou Prefecture, and they looked like soldiers and refugees robbed things and fled to flee.

Chen Mu rode on the horse and followed the Bai family soldiers for four or five miles. Only then did he get out of the intersection with crowded people. From a distance, he saw Bai Yuanjie boredly holding a horse whip and shaking the weeds half a person on the roadside. Several Bai family soldiers stood aside and pulled the alert. Under the tree farther away, Zhang Yongshou cursed and chopped the tree with a knife in a mess.

"Come?"

Chen Mu got off the horse and bowed with his fists. Bai Yuanjie waved to him and asked him to go over. He opened his mouth and looked at him twice. He didn't smile much on his face, and said, "The northern horse is stronger than the southern horse. He is older. You can't bear to pay five or six taels of silver!"

Bai Yuanjie was aware of the goods and guessed the horse price at a glance. Chen Mu nodded and laughed, then looked at Zhang Yongshou and saw the knife slashing on the tree with a knife, throwing away the hilt of the knife angrily, raising his head and cursing something.

"I will kill them sooner or later!"

Chen Munu bluntly and asked Bai Yuanjie: "What's wrong?"
