Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 20

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and only one solitary lamp was lit in the entire Fuze Village, which looked particularly eye-catching.

The moment Wang Xi finished speaking, the door was kicked open with a bang.

Liu Ergou and Wang Xi were suddenly startled. When they saw the person clearly, they were frightened out of their wits. Liu Ergou was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

Wang Xi wanted to scream, but he saw Chen Mo rushing towards him like a cheetah. Just as he was about to blurt out his shout, Chen Mo slashed his neck with a knife and knocked him unconscious. Then he followed the same pattern and killed Liu Ergou. He was also knocked unconscious.

Chen Mo looked around the house, looking for anything valuable.

As a result, only the meat from the mountains hunted in the past two days was found in the tank, and there was not much left.

The rice vat is even more empty.

Chen Mo carried the two of them out of the house, then entered the house to deal with the traces he left, blew out the lights, closed the door, then carried the two of them and ran towards Daze Mountain.

The main reason why Chen Mo did not deal with the two at Wang Xi's house was because he was afraid that the blood would be spilled and the traces behind would be difficult to deal with. The second reason was that the dead man was carrying Shen on his back.

Chen Mo has been to the outskirts of Daze Mountain countless times and is already familiar with the roads.

When he was catching mantises before, he found a pit on the periphery, which was relatively hidden due to lush bushes.

Chen Mo carried the two of them to the edge of the pit and put them down.

Then he took a deep breath.

He had never killed anyone. Although he was mentally prepared before going out, when he got to this point, he suddenly hesitated.

That is resistance from the inner subconscious.

But in order to avoid future dangers.

Chen Mo's eyes turned cold, he held Liu Ergou's head in his hands and twisted it violently.

There was only a crisp click, and Liu Ergou lost his breath instantly.

Chen Mo touched Liu Ergou's nose, and after confirming that he was no longer breathing, his heartbeat sped up inexplicably, and an unknown feeling filled his mind.

Chen Mo kicked Liu Ergou's body into the pit.

"don't want."

Suddenly, Wang Xi woke up and his face turned pale when he saw this scene. However, because of his broken leg, he couldn't run away at all and could only crawl out like a worm.

Chen Mo grabbed his ankle and dragged him back. In order to prevent him from yelling, he took out the hatchet from his waist and wiped off Wang Xi's neck.

Maybe it was because Chen Mo had just dealt with Liu Ergou and killed Wang Xi that Chen Mo acted very decisively.

Wang Xi did not die immediately, but raised his hands to cover his neck. He wanted to say something, but only blood foam came out of his mouth.

"Relax, the dizziness is only temporary and you will be fine soon."

Seeing the blood spurting out of Wang Xi's mouth, Chen Mo went from being nauseated at first and his stomach churned, to thinking that this was no different from killing a pig.

After Wang Xi lost his breath, Chen Mo kicked him into the pit again, then installed a handle on the hatchet, dug the earth and buried it.

After doing all this, Chen Mo just left.

I went to the river and washed my face. The cold river water was poured on my face. The discomfort of killing me before disappeared instantly.

When he returned home and saw that Han Anniang was not awake, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and climbed into the room through the window.

This night, Chen Mo slept peacefully.

The next day, Chen Mo was woken up by a splash of urine.

As soon as he lifted the quilt, Chen Mo quickly covered himself with the cold air outside.

It's too cold, much colder than the past few days.

He opened the window, and the cold wind rushed in. The world was whimpering, goose feathers were floating in the air, and a layer of snow had accumulated in the yard.

"It turns out it's snowing, but it's too cold." Chen Mo closed the window and couldn't help but rub his hands.

You know, he is now a warrior, at the ninth level of skin refining, and his skin is more resistant to freezing than ordinary people, but even he feels shivering, which shows how cold it is.

Even his sister-in-law was no longer busy. Chen Mo came back from peeing in the vegetable field and saw Han Anniang cooking on the fire in the kitchen. The latter saw him and smiled softly: "Uncle, you're awake. The rice is ready and you can eat it." .”

"coming."

Chen Mo moved the table in the living room to the kitchen, and Han Anniang brought the hot food in the pot.

The reason there was a fire in the kitchen was that the temperature was higher than outside, but Chen Mo still saw Han Anniang shivering from the cold, and couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, it's so cold, wear more clothes, don't freeze."

Han Anniang nodded, but Chen Mo saw that she sat down and did not return to the room to add clothes.

"Sister-in-law, wear more clothes." Chen Mo said again.

"Yeah." Han Anniang still didn't move.

Chen Mo was stunned, and then he noticed that in the past two months, Han Anniang had been wearing two sets of clothes, one of which was relatively thin.

He thought of something, returned to his parents' room, took out a cotton-padded coat that his mother was wearing from the cabinet, went to the kitchen, and put it on Han An's body without any explanation.

Han Anniang looked startled.

"Sister-in-law, this cotton-padded coat was worn by my mother when she was alive. You can make do with it for now. I will go to the county town in two days to buy you a new one."

According to the memory of the original person, Han Anniang was still wearing jewelry when she first got married, but Chen Mo did not see Han Anniang wearing it later.

Don't you like wearing it?

After thinking about it, I knew that Han Anniang must have sold it to subsidize her family.

No wonder, Chen Da needed money to marry his daughter-in-law. Later, Chen Da and Chen Lao Niang left one after another, and money was needed for the burial.

The food stored at home for the winter also costs money.

Even Han Anniang still had some money left in her hand.

The Chen family has so much money.
Chen Mo raised his head and looked at Han Aniang deeply: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so hard on yourself in the future. I will let you live a good life."

"uncle."

Hearing this, Han Aniang wanted to cry inexplicably, but she stopped her. Her face turned red, and the throbbing feeling before came back again.

She was too shy to look at Chen Mo, and whispered: "Uncle, no need, this winter is very short, it will pass if you bear it, you should use it to buy food."

"Sister-in-law, it's up to me to decide this matter." Chen Mo said, pretending to be the head of the family.

Han Anniang had no choice but to nod, but it felt like a piece of sugar had melted in her heart. It was so sweet, so sweet.

"Uncle, eat more." Han Anniang tightened her cotton-padded clothes and put the meat into Chen Mo's bowl.

Chen Mo took a bite and spit it out after chewing a few times: "It's so sour."

"It's so sour, no way."

Han Anniang also picked up a piece of meat and took a bite. Her expression immediately changed. It was really sour, but she didn't waste it and ate it anyway. She said softly: "It must have gone bad."

Meat in winter will also go bad, but it will last longer than in summer.

But the longest is only about seven days.

It has been more than seven days since Chen Mo hunted the wild boar.

Moreover, there is not enough salt at home. It is enough for eating, but far from enough for marinating meat.

So there was no pickling at that time.

After such a long time, it is normal for it to deteriorate.
