"ah… "
After hearing the words of the leading young man, the other two young men came back to their senses. Immediately, the two men charged towards Li Mo with fierce faces. Even the young man who had been coaxed away by Li Mo also got up and rushed towards Li Mo.
Facing three young and strong youths, Li Mo was still at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm. Even Li Mo still looked sick and sick, but Li Mo's strength was suppressed, but his combat experience was still there.
Including the dark energy that flew the young man away before, it did not exceed the ninth level of the body quenching realm. Therefore, Li Mo was not strong enough to fight against these three young men, but every time he played in a position, there were weaknesses that the young men could not take care of.
These three ruffians were full of loopholes in front of Li Mo. Even though Li Mo couldn't exert much strength, he punched their weak points with a few punches and still sent the three of them flying.
The three people who fell to the ground were stunned. They looked at Chen Datong as if they were watching a ghost. Then the three of them looked at the injuries on their bodies, and finally the young man who led them shouted
"Let's go! Let's go!"
The other two young men also no longer wanted to stay here after hearing the words of the leading young man. The three of them ran back in a hurry.
"Ahem..."
Looking at the backs of the three of them, Li Mo coughed heavily again. Since he is pretending to be Chen Dadong, he must look like a tuberculosis ghost.
"Thank you, Chen...Uncle Chen."
Enduring the pain in his body, Ah Shui stood up tremblingly and thanked him. Because I have never spoken to Chen Datong, I am a little unfamiliar with the title given to Chen Datong.
"ah."
Li Mo opened his mouth and looked at Ah Shui with doubt in his eyes. Ah Shui is also very smart and knows what Li Mo means. So Ah Shui looked at the injuries on his body and smiled.
"It's okay, Uncle Chen. It's a skin injury. I'm used to it."
A few short sentences, but revealed endless sadness. Children of poor people have already become the head of the family, especially children like Ah Shui, who have already become the mainstay of the family at a very young age.
"Aba."
Li Mo pointed at Ah Shui's feet, and then Li Mo took out a pill from the storage bag. Looking at the storage bag on Li Mo's waist, Ah Shui's young eyes were full of curiosity.
Although Ah Shui is at the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm, he has never seen a storage bag. However, in Ah Shui's impression, Chen Datong did have a storage bag on his waist.
Thinking about Chen Datong's cultivation level of the ninth level of body tempering, which is neither high nor low, he can still keep the storage bag in this small Eagle Village. In other words, people at the bottom cannot snatch Chen Datong's storage bag.
The middle-level clan members are the upper-level clan members, but they don’t have the slightest idea about Chen Datong’s storage bag. After all, in the eyes of those in the upper class, Chen Datong is like a beggar. Who can have any idea about a beggar's wallet
Speaking of Li Mo, the elixir in his hand was given to Li Mo by Mei Ding with a look of pain on his face. It was also a good healing elixir, so Li Mo used his palm to crush the elixir.
Then Li Mo poured the elixir into the medicinal wine, shook the medicinal wine, and handed it to Ah Shui.
"For me?"
Ah Shui, who was paying attention to Li Mo's movements the whole time, couldn't help but asked in surprise, tell the truth. Looking at what the ragged Chen Datong handed over, Ah Shui rejected it in his heart.
But it was really not good to think that Chen Datong was uncharacteristically helping him today and not drinking the medicinal wine Li Mo handed him. So Ah Shui pinched his nose and took the gourd of medicinal wine from Li Mo and drank it loudly.
"Ahem..."
As soon as he took a big sip, Ah Shui spit out half of the drink. Ah Shui's childish face was tense, his tongue stuck out, and he kept shouting
"Spicy! Spicy! So spicy..."
Looking at Ah Shui's appearance, Li Mo grinned. From the looks of it, Ah Shui had never drank alcohol before.
Ah Shui was about to blame Li Mo for giving him such a spicy drink, but the words came to his lips before he could say them. Ah Shui felt that the pain in his body was gradually lessening, and even his sprained feet were slowly getting better.
"So magical?"
Feeling the changes on his body, Ah Shui said in surprise. His young eyes couldn't help but look at Li Mo who was wearing a human skin mask again. Today, Chen Datong is really becoming more and more mysterious in front of Ah Shui.
The elixir in this drink is useful for those who are strong in the Golden Elixir Realm. Although Li Mo was afraid that the medicine would be too strong and damage Ah Shui's foundation, so he melted it with wine. But the medicinal properties in it are still like a holy medicine for healing to Ah Shui, who is at the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm.
Li Mo took the medicinal wine handed over by Ah Shui, then put his finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture.
"I know, don't worry, Uncle Chen. I will definitely not mention this matter to others today."
Ah Shui nodded solemnly and said, Ah Shui has lived at the bottom since childhood. However, unlike the three low-level young people before, Ah Shui did not lose the ruffian character. Ah Shui, who had emerged from the mud and remained unsullied, knew how to be grateful.
Although Ah Shui didn't know how much this healing medicine was worth. But presumably in the eyes of the big guys in the cottage, such a potion must be of extraordinary value.
If others knew that Chen Datong had such a healing medicine, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Li Mo grinned with satisfaction, but felt a little annoyed in his heart. Now Li Mo finally knew why Mei Ding had almost become mentally ill for more than half a year.
For any intact person, he would be unable to speak from morning till night, and it would be extremely uncomfortable.
"Uncle Chen, I'm going back to see my mother first."
Ah Shui said something admiring to Li Mo and walked towards a dilapidated wooden house.
Looking at Ah Shui's back, Li Mo stamped his feet anxiously. At a loss for words, Li Mo didn't even ask Ah Shui where he lived!
"Pretend to be mute! Whose idea was this!"
Li Mo was roaring in his heart. He had no choice but to continue wandering around.
Although the wooden houses under the mountain peak are dilapidated, there are quite a few of them. Some wooden houses were empty, with a layer of dust falling on them. They were obviously the kind of wooden houses that had not been inhabited for a long time.
In some wooden houses, young people in twos and threes, dressed in shabby clothes, were lying upside down. These people were sleeping leisurely in the house as if one person had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry. Looking at the people in the wooden house, Li Mo remembered a word from later generations - tramp.
Of course, there are more people from the lower class. These people are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are some of the people forgotten by this village.
After wandering around all afternoon, it was almost getting dark, and Li Mo didn't even notice which house was his.
"Uncle Chen."
Just when Li Mo was upset, a childish voice reached Li Mo's ears. Li Mo looked back and saw that it was Ah Shui.
At this moment, Ah Shui's injuries were all healed, and the clothes that were torn to pieces due to the fight were replaced. Although the current clothes are also made of coarse cloth, they can be seen to be very clean. It seems that although Ah Shui's family is poor, Ah Shui's mother takes good care of Ah Shui.
"Ah..."
Li Mo opened his mouth and shouted, but his heart was filled with bitterness. Until now, all I can do is moan and groan.
"Uncle Chen, my mother asked me to invite you to come to my house for dinner."
Ah Shui smiled with an innocent smile on his face. Apparently, when he returned home, Ah Shui told his mother everything that happened today. However, Ah Shui promised Li Mo that he would not tell anyone about Li Mo's healing medicine.
Hearing that Chen Datong actually saved his life, Ah Shui's mother asked Ah Shui to find Li Mo for dinner.
Li Mo was not hungry, and was thinking about finding his own room. However, Li Mo rolled his eyes and made a plan. Then Li Mo pretended to be hungry and touched his belly, then went to their house with Ah Shui.
Upon entering the house, the cabin is not large. The door faced a wooden bed filled with weeds. A small pot of freshly stewed rabbit meat was on the ground, surrounded by bowls of green wild vegetables.
"Brother Chen is here."
Seeing Li Mo, a middle-aged woman immediately came forward to greet him. The middle-aged woman's clothes are also patched, but compared with other tribesmen living at the bottom, they are very clean.
The woman's face was sickly pale, and Li Mo could see the thick layer of calluses through the woman's palms. Thinking about it, this middle-aged woman should be Lu Yun, Atu's mother.
Of course Li Mo didn't know Lu Yun, but fortunately he couldn't speak now. So Li Mo could deal with it even though he was humming, and Lu Yun didn't know Chen Datong very well before. If Chen Dadong hadn't saved Ah Shui today, Lu Yun would not have wanted to eat with Chen Dadong.
So even though Chen Datong in front of him had changed, Lu Yun didn't notice it at all.
"Come and eat quickly, it's already cold."
Lu Yun took Ah Shui to sit down to eat together, and Li Mo also sat on the floor. This family was so poor that they didn't even have a stool, let alone a table. So everyone could only sit on the ground and eat the food placed on the ground.
"Uncle Chen, try my mother's stewed rabbit meat. It's delicious."
Ah Shui introduced Li Mo and Li Mo nodded. Then Li Mo picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of rabbit meat and put it into his mouth. Although Li Mo had been used to eating delicacies for hundreds of years in his two lives.
These stewed rabbits are indeed incomparable to those delicacies, but in the rabbit meat, Li Mo tasted something else. That is simplicity, so when this bite of rabbit meat enters your mouth, it turns out to be very delicious.
"Um… "
Li Mo's deliberately exaggerated eyes lit up, and then Li Mo made a gesture of invitation to Atu and Lu Yun who were looking at him.
Seeing that Li Mo was very satisfied with the pot of rabbit meat, Ah Shui smiled. Ah Shui then picked up the rabbit meat and ate it along with the wild vegetables in front of him.
Looking at Ah Shui and Lu Yun, the wild vegetables looked like rice. How many times can such a poor family eat rice throughout the year? Most of the time, I rely on wild vegetables in the mountains to satisfy my hunger.
Li Mo couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he thought about the lives of these people.
Then Li Mo took out the wine gourd from the storage bag and ate it one bite of meat and one bite of wine.
In the numbness of alcohol, Li Mo could vaguely hear Lu Yun's sincere words of care for Ah Shui.
"Ah Shui, you are growing stronger now. Eat more meat."
"No, mother, please eat more and replenish your body. Dad is gone, Ah Shui will take care of you from now on."
"Mom, you don't need to eat. Ah Shui, you have to eat more. If you grow strong in the future, you won't be bullied by others. But remember, after you grow strong, you can't bully others."
"I know, mother."
