When I have time, I will go to the north and south cities to wander around, find some delicious food, and get some information.
Life is leisurely and comfortable.
……
At the north gate of Nanshi, there is a large square outside the archway.
"Who are those dozen people?" Chen Mu squeezed in the crowd, looking curiously at the prisoners who were placed on the square stone platform.
"Bandit."
"More than ten stores were looted in one night, and countless people were killed."
"When I was fleeing along the Luo River, I was discovered and captured by the heroes of the Jinghong Gang."
"Fighting in Nanyang City? Those are no ordinary bandits." Chen Mu sighed.
The world is in chaos, and all kinds of monsters and demons have emerged.
"Who said it wasn't true? And they are so bold as to touch the assets of Jinghong Gang. Will Jinghong Gang let them off?"
"I didn't chop off their heads privately, it was all out of respect for Lord Shangguan."
Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head.
He had lived in Nanyang Prefecture for a year and knew the reputation of the Jinghong Gang.
These people actually dared to rob the Jinghong Gang’s shop. They are really reckless.
"I heard that he is the enemy of Tianqi Hall Master Zhuo."
"Isn't Master Zhuo dead? These people saw the hope of revenge and killed people for money."
"I heard that Master Zhuo's two sons were checking the accounts in the store and were bumped into by this group of people."
"That's miserable."
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
After Zhuo Yinghai's death, the Zhuo family also fell into misfortune.
Who made that old man so cruel and ruthless that he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go? It was inevitable that he would be retaliated after his death.
"Is this the third batch? Tsk tsk..."
"The Zhuo family has also met with great misfortune. They have lost both their lives and their wealth. If it weren't for the Jinghong Gang's efforts to capture the murderer, it would have been truly tragic."
Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.
No matter how big your wealth or reputation is, when you die, everything is gone. Your children and grandchildren will suffer with you.
"It's important to save your life." Chen Mu was deeply inspired.
Chen Mu turned and walked towards Chunfeng Tower.
I haven’t seen Miss Yutao dancing for a long time, I miss her.
……
At around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, when the lights come on, the nightlife in Nanyang Prefecture is at its peak.
However, Chen Mu had already eaten and drunk his fill, and was walking leisurely towards home against the bustling crowd in South City.
Passing by the North Gate Square, I vaguely saw the dark bloodstains on the beheading platform and couldn't help shaking my head.
Just as I was about to leave, I was suddenly startled and remembered the discussions among the crowd during the day.
"Where do so many crazy bandits come from? They don't care about the Nanyang government, nor are they afraid of the Jinghong Gang. They just blatantly deal with the Zhuo family."
"Hmm... nothing's going to happen here, right?"
The cool breeze blew, and Chen Mu couldn't help but shiver.
"I'm afraid someone has set their eyes on Zhuo Yinghai's huge fortune..."
"The world is dangerous!"
Chen Mu didn't dare to think any more and hurried home.
……
The death of Zhuo Yinghai did cause a stir.
The Zhuo family was robbed repeatedly.
Finally, it was said that the Jinghong Gang stepped in and sent people to protect them, which made those bandits afraid to act rashly and stop.
Is there any inside story? Chen Mu said that this melon was too big for him to swallow, so he didn't dare to ask any more.
This storm came quickly and went away quickly.
It seems that neither the Jinghong Gang nor the Nanyang government wants to make a big fuss.
On the surface, they were shouting that they wanted to avenge Zhuo Yinghai and arrest the murderer, but only the Jinghong Gang came forward to secretly collect information.
There was no large-scale search like last time, and it soon died down.
"Children of noble families are still precious." Chen Mu sighed happily.
"It's better to have a lighter search." He's safer.
Originally, the courtyard was clearly registered under Chen Jia's name, but no one checked it from beginning to end.
There were two groups of thieves who visited here.
One of them was paralyzed by the needles on the wall before he even entered the yard.
Another one did get in, but the yard had already been scraped by the Five Ghost Bags, so he ended up only catching a palm-sized grass carp from the pond.

Chapter 104 Wonderful
Once people are immersed in something, they tend to forget the time.
When he came to his senses, it was already the new year.
At the end of the year, Nanyang Prefecture became noticeably busier. The flow of people to the north and south cities increased dramatically, and the streets were decorated with lights and full of festive atmosphere.
Chen Mu joined in the fun for two days, tried a lot of snacks, and then went home to stay at home as usual.
Every morning when Chen Mu wakes up, he opens his eyes and checks his proficiency.
Just like in his previous life, he reached for his phone first after opening his eyes.
The difference is that the mobile phone will immediately grab his attention, making him waste a lot of time watching videos and reading novels.
But his proficiency would urge him to get up quickly and gain experience.
If the outside world wasn't too dangerous, Chen Mu felt that he could stay at home forever as long as he had food and drink.
……
Under the west eaves, Chen Mu sat in the rocking chair.
On the low table next to me there was milk tea, water and mung bean ointment.
Chen Mu put a piece of mung bean cake into his mouth from time to time, enjoying the leisurely afternoon time.
Black smoke filled his left hand, and a porcelain bottle as big as a goose egg emerged.
"What's so special about the Dragon Pill?" Chen Mu poured out a scarlet pill and held it in front of him to examine it carefully.
“Why can it quickly enhance courage?”
After practicing martial arts for more than two years, he clearly understood how difficult it is to cultivate courage.
I ate a lot of meat and tonics, but my strength didn't increase. But the Dragon Transformation Pill could quickly accumulate strength.
"I have to keep thinking about it." Chen Mu habitually put the pill to his nose and smelled it.
I dare not taste it and can only rely on my sense of smell to distinguish the ingredients bit by bit.
He has been doing this work, but unfortunately the progress is very slow.
As the spicy smell hit my nostrils, several medicinal herbs came to mind.
"Hmm... I smell another one." Chen Mu put away the Dragon Transformation Pill with satisfaction.
He has currently identified thirteen of the medicinal herbs.
"It's almost there." Chen Mu thought with a little anticipation.
But he didn't want to eat it himself.
The hidden dangers could not be avoided, and the main drug Zhao Dian Hong was in the hands of the aristocratic family. He could not imitate it without the raw materials.
Chen Mu just wanted to understand the principle of how this thing catalyzes courage.
……
He put away the Dragon-Transforming Pill and drank a sip of water to rinse his mouth.
Picking up the wet cloth on the coffee table to wipe his hands, Chen Mu stood up and walked to the east side of the house.
There was a long table there, covered with a piece of white paper as long as the table.
He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, and a pattern formed by two dots and lines appeared.
"It still takes two points of proficiency." Chen Mu curled his lips.
"It would be great if I could use my drawing ability to cast the aura spell." Chen Mu thought greedily.
Unfortunately, painting only increases drawing proficiency.
At most, he could act as an appraiser and tell him the difference between God's intention and the aura spell, but he would not tell him how to make up for the difference.
"Collecting body-building techniques?" Chen Mu was a little hesitant.
According to the typical practice of time travelers, they must quickly plunder the shape-training technique, and then continuously stack armor to quickly train the armor spirit.
But, if you really do that...it's a bit life-consuming.
It’s costing your own life, and...it’s also costing other people’s lives?
Chen Mu didn't want to move.
