Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 52

On the day of the award, the hustle and bustle of the inspection station can be compared to the monthly payment.

It was almost time for duty, and Chu Mu finally arrived at the inspection station.

In the not-too-large inspection station, it was already extremely noisy and crowded with people.

In more than a month, there was a bandit suppression operation, and hundreds of inspections were carried out by the inspection station.

Chu Mu is a newcomer and doesn't know many people, but looking around now, it seems that they are all unfamiliar faces.

"The team is right!"

"The team is right!"

Walking into the inspection station, Chu Mu was still going to find a place to stick around as usual, but the successive greetings made Chu Mu quite unprepared.

There were strange faces, and their voices were quite respectful.

At this time, Chu Mu seemed to realize that he was no longer the ordinary patrol inspector with no name.

Going into the mountains to suppress thieves, a few heads, and a few promotion inspections are enough to make him more famous in Nanshan Town.

Team is...

Looking around, he was full of hospitality. Chu Mu slowly savored this title in his heart, and the feeling in his heart was actually a little hard to describe.

In his past and present lives, this was the first time he had experienced such a feeling.

Such a taste, it seems...not bad?

It's not that he is greedy for power and fame, but... this kind of feeling seems to give Chu Mu a lot of sense of security.

Martial arts is inner, and it is the sense of security given by oneself.

And right now... this is the outside, it is the sense of security brought about by the rise in power and status.

Chu Mu laughed, chatting nonsense with one inspection after another as if he had no teacher. The confidence and self-confidence brought by martial arts seemed to be quietly changing Chu Mu.

It wasn't until the shouts for assembly sounded that Chu Mu finally stopped chatting nonsense with his colleagues and headed towards the assembly location.

According to common sense, receiving the award with joy and encouragement, but this time the Nanshan Inspection Office awarded the award, the atmosphere is obviously completely different.

After all, the patrol inspections are all local people, and the inspection offices are also local yamen, and the deaths and injuries are all local.

But this time, more than a hundred people were killed and injured during the one-time inspection, which obviously shouldn't be too heavy for a small town like Nanshan.

The new faces everywhere in the inspection station, as well as the inspection family members who came to receive the pension award, were more or less sad, and it seemed that this award had shrouded an indescribable depression.

The dead get a pension, and the living get promoted and get rich.

In a sense, the promotion rewards of Chu Mu and others are undoubtedly extremely dazzling under this suppression.

It seems that due to the influence of the atmosphere, this award ceremony was also extremely brief.

It's like giving out a monthly salary, one by one went up to receive the reward, and then hurriedly disbanded and went back to their respective homes.

People's sorrows and joys are not interlinked. If there are those who leave heavily, there will naturally be those who are happy.

Chu Mu wasn't exactly happy, but at this moment, he was also surrounded by congratulations.

From ordinary inspection to promotion to team leader...

The monthly salary is five silver more, counting the black gold, it is ten silver more per month.

A suit of armor was also changed from the cotton armor of ordinary inspections to the iron armor of the team.

The patrol waist badge is also engraved with the word team positive.

Although the position of team leader is not great, it also means that Chu Mu has been promoted from being managed to managing people.

The power of ten patrol inspections under his command should not be underestimated.

Surrounded by the crowd, Chu Mu really dealt with it well, and promised a banquet at the Fengxue Tower in the evening, and finally got out of the inspection station.

The injury has not healed, and although he has been promoted to public office, it is obvious that it is temporarily impossible for Chu Mu to perform his duties in a short period of time.

After leaving the inspection station, Chu Mu didn't linger, and went straight to the private school.

I have been able to read and write for more than a month. I read some popular books before, and I can understand even guessing. But now I read professional books such as medicine, which is related to my martial arts practice. Naturally, I can't expect to even guess.

Reading through is a must.

Literacy must also be complete.

After studying in a private school for more than a month, Chu Mu naturally knew the way very well. He walked around the alley, and it didn't take long before he arrived outside the gate of Changfu.

The door of the mansion is open, and the sound of reading aloud in the mansion can be heard clearly.

The cost of repairs and reading, which cost tens of silver at every turn, obviously does not conform to the theorem of the rich and the poor in this era.

It should be said that he is rich in literature, richer and talented in martial arts.

But in this Changfu private school, there are quite a few young children studying.

After all, guarding the precious mountain of Nanshan Iron Mine, just a little oil and water is enough for many people to eat a lot.

Although reading is expensive, it is nothing to many people.

Scholars in this era are no different from those in previous lives.

It’s all about studying, and then getting fame, being a child, a scholar, a man...

One step at a time, one step at a time... one level at a time!

Until now, Chu Mu has not thought about whether he wants to continue on the road of studying.

After all, compared to fame and the benefits of being an official, the future of martial arts... seems to be more exciting to Chu Mu.

Thoughts were flying in his heart, Chu Mu also stepped into the private school.

Up to now, Chu Mu's journey of reading and literacy has already entered the fast lane.

Most of the basic characters are literate and conscious, and now they are in private schools, and more of them are the few medical books obtained by Mr. Li.

The only difference between studying in a private school and studying in Mingxintang is that reading medical books in a private school is to understand words that you don't know in medical books and don't know their meaning.

And in Mingxintang, it is to learn the knowledge from medical books, to lay the foundation for practicing martial arts after the body recovers.

One morning, one afternoon, until dusk, Chu Mu walked out of Changfu, and then... went straight to Fengyue Tower.

Promotion banquets, people are so sophisticated, in this era, it is naturally unavoidable.

It wasn't until midnight, when the curfew had passed, that Chu Mu and the inspectors walked out of Fengyue Tower.

The so-called curfew obviously has no binding force on a group of inspectors who have just spent their days drinking.

After all, the curfew is also enforced and supervised by inspections.

After seeing his colleagues and bosses leaving who were drowsy from drinking, Chu Mu headed towards home.

His injuries were not healed, and he was not allowed to spend his days and nights. In Fengyue Tower, he naturally did not drink a drop, nor did he indulge in the slightest.

Chu Mu touched the wound on his abdomen, and the slight numbness undoubtedly proved the degree of healing of the wound.

In just a few days, he had healed from being almost disembowelled to this level.

The prescription prepared by Mr. Li is obviously already miraculous.

"It should take less than a month."

Chu Mu thought to himself, with such a healing speed, it is estimated that in ten days or so, he will be almost fully recovered.

In between his thoughts, Chu Mu's slow pace suddenly froze.

Subconsciously, Chu Mu grabbed the handle of the knife at his waist.

At this moment, the eyes locked on the roof of an inn in front of the left.

In the darkness, human figures could also be seen flickering, but a few figures in black leaped across the roof, like monkeys, and disappeared from Chu Mu's field of vision within a few ups and downs.
