The three of them quickened their pace
Chen Mu directly lifted the huge white wolf’s burden from Xu Hongyu’s back.
Along the way back to Anyu County, we saw some scattered villages along the way. The villagers were basically busy, going from house to house, scrambling to fetch water. Even children aged six or seven were carrying small wooden buckets. Stand around the well and wait for water. Before the water in the well bottoms out and the river has not completely dried up, prepare enough water in advance.
Some villages that rely on rivers are better off. The rivers have not yet dried up and water can be obtained quickly. However, in the more remote villages, the whole village only needs water from one well, which is very troublesome. However, each of them still maintains order. Some villages Directing the distribution of water.
This scene.
It actually made Chen Mu, who had seen it from a distance, nod slightly.
During the severe drought five years ago, he had not yet come to this world. In addition, he lived in Yucheng, so everyone responded quickly. They prepared two large tanks of water in advance and covered them tightly with lids. Apart from the fact that the air was so dry at that time that my lips were chapped, there were no other major changes.
The world outside the city is more directly affected, but because this kind of disaster occurs once every few years, no matter how big or small, there is basically a complete set of response plans, which is far more orderly than Chen Mu expected. .
soon.
The group rushed back to Anyu County House.
The county government is also very busy at this time. People can be seen hurrying past in almost the streets and alleys. Most of them are carrying buckets. Some go to fetch water from outside the city, while others queue up beside the well. .
“Be honest! Don’t crowd! Then whoever…get behind you!”
Beside one of the wells, five or six policemen were controlling order, but some thick-looking men from behind forced their way forward. They seemed to be members of a gang, and they were directly stalemate with several policemen.
A grey-haired, sixty-year-old woman was knocked to the ground by the conflict.
A younger woman next to her quickly reached out to help her: “Aunt Liu, how are you? Are you okay?”
“……”
The old woman was helped to stand up and shook her head, but her eyes were looking at the barrel that she had not held when she fell down. The barrel was being kicked away by several gang members and the guards during the conflict.
Just at this time, Xu Hongyu and Xiao He hurriedly passed by. Chen Mu walked by with one hand holding the huge white wolf demon burden. He glanced at it and said, “What’s going on?”
When several gangsters and rough-and-tumble men saw the burden of the White Wolf Demon carried by Chen Mu and the neatly dressed Qingyi Guards of the Demon Slaying Division on his body, they were all annoyed and almost starting to fight. The scene immediately changed. Get peace of mind.
“Sir, just now…”
Several officers quickly saluted Chen Mu and told him.
Although they didn’t know who Chen Mu was, the outfit and the white wolf demon’s baggage that obviously still had blood stains clearly showed the presence of the Demon Slayer Division. He was a very important person to them.
After hearing this, Chen Mu frowned, and with a wave of his hand, a strong wind directly knocked several gang members off their backs. Their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and their heads were bruised and bloody. However, the group of people ignored the wailing and quickly got up and kowtowed. .
“In extraordinary times, anyone who disrupts order will be sent directly to prison.”
Chen Mu spoke coldly.
Although he is no longer an official of the City Guard Department, and An Yu is not under his jurisdiction, as the Tsing Yi Guard of the Demon Slayer Department, he still has the power to directly command the servants in various places during unusual periods such as a severe drought, and he can ignore hierarchies. , leapfrog command, if there is a conflict between the orders of the City Guard Department and the Demon Slayer Department, the Demon Slayer Department will take precedence.
“Yes, yes…”
Regardless of the gangsters or a few rough guys, they were all so frightened that they kowtowed and responded repeatedly.
When Chen Mu turned around and walked away, several people suddenly showed expressions of having survived the disaster. For a while, they no longer dared to mess around, and each of them retreated to the back of the crowd in dejection. Several officers who had conflicted with him breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, they felt more confident, and each of them began to shout in a deep voice, and arranged for people to fetch water one after another.
“Aunt Liu, your bucket.”
Seeing that order had settled down, the woman walked over, picked up the barrel, and handed it to the old woman.
The old woman took it tremblingly: “Okay, okay…”
The woman looked at the scene of orderly fetching water by the well, and couldn’t help but glance in the direction where Chen Mu left, and said: “Hey, that young man just now knocked him away with a wave of his hand, and followed him in the alley. He really looks like the kind of knight with strong martial arts skills mentioned by the old storyteller. I don’t know how old he is, but he is still so young.”
Liu Rong looked at her bucket carefully and couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was not damaged. When she heard the words of the woman next to her, she nodded immediately: “Well, well, I remember that I heard someone talk about it before. It seems that he is in charge of some department, and he is bigger than the gentlemen in our city guard department.”
Talk about it.
The young man just now seemed to be somewhat similar to her sister when she was young, but she must have seen it wrong.
Her sister disappeared decades ago, was abducted by human traffickers, and was never found again. How could she be related to a big shot like that just now, who was bigger than the city guards.
Just think of this.
Liu Rong sighed silently again.
In recent years, her body and bones have been deteriorating, and she doesn’t know how many more years she can live. Liu Ping’s body and bones were worse than hers when she was a child. She will probably never have the chance to see her sister again in her life. She doesn’t know if Liu Ping is still alive now, or if she is still alive. How are you doing?
……
Anyu County Government.
When Chen Mu returned with Xu Hongyu and Xiao He, the county government was also busy. The county magistrate Yu Rong was not in the county government. The person who came out to greet Chen Mu was the county magistrate, who invited Chen Mu and others into a large courtyard behind the county government. .
At this time, there were many people from the Demon Slayer Division in the county compound. They were basically performing tasks near Anyu County. After noticing the severe drought, they immediately rushed to the county headquarters in Anyu County to meet up. , waiting for further instructions from the Demon Slayer Division.
“An Yu is your Yu family’s territory. Should the Yu family be responsible for the demon slaying here?”
Chen Mu asked as he walked.
“Um.”
Xu Hongyu nodded and said: “The Demon Slaying Division will have at least one deputy capital commander to take charge. Either my third uncle will come over, or it will be my sixth grandfather.”
Xiao He covered her mouth and snickered, moved closer to Chen Mu’s ear, lowered her voice and said, “Actually, I think it’s good for you to rule.”
The Yu family has two deputy chiefs in the Demon Slaying Department, one is a master of bone forging and the other is a perfect bone forging. However, the one with perfect bone forging is Xu Hongyu’s sixth grandfather. He is over sixty years old and his blood is declining now. , the strength is only around the level of bone forging, and neither of them has realized the artistic conception. In Xiao He’s opinion, the strength is definitely not as good as Chen Mu.
Chen Mu stretched out his hand and knocked Xiao He on the head. He was just a little Tsing Yi guard. He just needed to hunt more monsters. Moreover, Xiao He had become more and more wanton recently. When should he be taught a lesson? Fan.
In the courtyard.
Some black-clothed guards and green-clothed guards from the Demon Slaying Division gathered here. They were basically members of the Yu family. When they saw Xu Hongyu coming in, they basically called out “Master Xu” in a polite manner.
“Are you guys here from the Demon Slayer Division?”
Xu Hongyu asked.
“We were hunting monsters near Anyu County. When we saw an abnormality in the sky, we rushed over to gather together.”
Someone responded to Xu Hongyu.
The Demon Slaying Division has a lot of manpower, and they are usually scattered throughout Yu County. There are actually people from various families who hunt monsters in Anyu County, but except for the Yu family, people from other families will naturally not come to Anyu County. Gathered in Yu County.
This place is all people of the Yu family, and it is the territory controlled by the Yu family. If you come here, you may not know how you disappeared in the end. It is precisely because of the conflicts between the four families in the inner city, so every time the demons are in chaos At that time, except for the large area directly under the jurisdiction of Yujun County, the Demon Slayer Division directly sent people from a certain family to deal with each county.
“The weather started very early this time. There were signs a day ago. The Demon Slayer Department will probably respond very quickly. All the manpower should be on the way. It is estimated that we will arrive when the severe drought has completely settled.”
Someone said to Xu Hongyu.
Xu Hongyu nodded, then turned to look at Chen Mu, with a hint of questioning in her eyes.
Chen Mu only nodded slightly at her, indicating that she could decide everything.
“Then let’s all rest for a while and wait for the people above to come over.”
Xu Hongyu looked at everyone and said something, and then walked to the back room in the backyard with Chen Mu and Xiao He.
Entered the house.
Xu Hongyu took out a map of the vicinity of Anyu County and said: “Anyu County is located in the southwest of Yu County and connects to Jinyu County to the north. Jinyu County is the most populous and prosperous county in Yu County. It is the home of the Xue Family Huaiyu County is under the jurisdiction of the He family, and the He family must be responsible for it this time. “
Chen Mu is still very familiar with the map of Yu County, and he knows it roughly without looking at it. However, Xu Hongyu’s map is more detailed. It has marked many areas such as mountains and hills, as well as dangerous areas marked with red pens. On weekdays, it is surrounded by poisonous miasma, deserted, and even some vicious monsters appear.
Those dangerous areas are far away from inhabited places.
Chen Mu looked at the map carefully and muttered: “During a severe drought, monsters will infiltrate into the county. Your clan uncle or elder who will come will definitely be in charge of the county. Then the ten townships under the county’s jurisdiction, At least a white-clothed guard like you must be in charge. I will go with you to take charge of one of them. If I am here, the manpower can be reduced appropriately. “
Chen Mu’s words were very stable. Although in terms of personal strength, even the Deputy Chief of the Demon Slaying Division was not as good as him, but such a large-scale demon chaos still requires more manpower to disperse and hunt demons everywhere. After all, the scope involved is too large. , unless a large number of monsters gather, then it is suitable for him to take action.
Xu Hongyu glanced at Chen Mu quietly.
At the end of last year, during the Great Cold Demon Rebellion, she also came to Anyu County. At that time, she was also under the jurisdiction of a clan uncle. This time, Chen Mu was here, which made her feel much more at ease. She could also relax a little less. Tense.
Thinking of this, a strange glimmer appeared in Xu Hongyu’s eyes. She initially trained Chen Mu, just hoping to have a capable subordinate to help her open up the situation in Nancheng District, and at least stabilize the area one mile longer, but The development of things was completely different from what she expected. Now Chen Mu has become a being who can sit in one place and even protect her.
“An Yu, Huai Yu… Donghong Township, Xixia Township, Shuanggou Township…”
Chen Mu looked at the map and pondered.
Xu Hongyu was watching Chen Mu in a daze, while Xiao He looked at the map without saying a word, then at Chen Mu, and then at Xu Hongyu. She couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle, but kept silent.
that’s all.
A long while passed.
There was a sudden movement outside.
“Fukutoji Adult!”
“See Mr. Vice-Captain.”
Only a large number of footsteps were heard coming from the yard, accompanied by many respectful voices.
Xu Hongyu suddenly came back to her senses, only to find that Chen Mu had stopped looking at the map for some time, but was looking at her. Seeing that she had woken up, she smiled softly and said: “Okay, it’s time to go out, Xu grown ups.”
This slightly chuckled ‘Master Xu’ made Xu Hongyu’s heart beat twice in a row for some unknown reason, but she still had that pure look on her face, nodded slightly, got up and walked outside.
Chen Mu watched Xu Hongyu walk out of the room, turned to look at Xiao He next to him, and winked at Xiao He.
Xiaohe covered her mouth and snickered, blinked, and then got up and walked out together.
“Third uncle.”
Xu Hongyu came to the courtyard, looked at the middle-aged man who was walking towards him wearing the uniform of the Deputy Chief of the Demon Slaying Division, and looked quite majestic. He bowed lightly and shouted.
Yu Jun nodded slightly at Xu Hongyu and said: “I already know the general situation. The manpower I brought this time is roughly the same as last time. I think it will be the same as last time. Hongyu, what do you think?”
Xu Hongyu finally calmed down completely, and after thinking for a while, she said: “I have completed Yijin, and I can stay in the same township this time. Why don’t you let me go to Donghong Township.”
“I forgot that you are also a white-clothed guard on your own…”
Yu Jun laughed, of course he had not forgotten, but if Xu Hongyu wanted to just follow the team to hunt monsters like last time, it would be fine. The Yu family had enough manpower, but if Xu Hongyu wanted to go it alone, that would be fine too. Although she has just reached the perfection of Yi Jin, a warrior has always been ineffective without hard work.
If there are some more training and gains in this monster hunting, then Xu Hongyu may not be far away from entering the bone forging realm. After that, if he realizes the three sword skills, he can also start to try to understand the clan’s sword skills. Kanshui map.
In the future, he might also be someone who can shoulder the responsibility of the Yu family.
“good.”
Yu Jun smiled and said: “Then I’ll leave the Donghong Township side to you, and you can choose the manpower yourself.”
“Thank you, third uncle.”
Xu Hongyu nodded lightly and walked outside to look at the troops brought by Yu Jun.
Among the people Yu Jun brought, not all of them were from the Demon Slaying Division. Only a small part of the people from the Demon Slaying Division were from the Demon Slaying Division. Most of them were from the Yu family, and they even brought hundreds of people. Yu family swordsman.
Xu Hongyu quickly gathered a group of people, reported to Yu Jun, and set off with Chen Mu.
It’s still the third update, with a little more words, thanks to the boss of bbmmww for being the leader.
