After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Since the two brothers Mu Yunxiao received the order from the city lord, they no longer have to do hard and tiring cheap work in the quarry. They were specially recruited to the city lord's mansion, where they were only responsible for some paperwork. They were free and relaxed. The monthly salary is much higher than that of being a mining worker, and more importantly, as a servant in the city lord's mansion, the two brothers have several days off every month, where they can spend time with their families. .

Even though the Mu Yunxiao brothers were favored by the old man and could only enter the City Lord's Mansion through the back door to work as errands, no one in the City Lord's Mansion, from the housekeeper to the ordinary servants, dared to look down upon them. After all, they were the old man's lifesaver. The benefactor was not someone they could afford to offend. Naturally, their life in the City Lord's Mansion was quite comfortable.

The old man especially liked Mu Yunchao, who was lively and talkative. If there was no work to do on weekdays, he would call the two brothers to his yard to drink tea and chat.

Mu Yunchao is a teenage boy, at the age of high spirits. He talks a lot and is sweet. He can make the old man happy with his chatter. The two of them seem to have a relationship that is almost like that of a grandfather and grandson. .

The old man in the City Lord's Mansion did not have the burden of being in a high position. Ever since he met the Mu family, he ran to the exile village every now and then, happily accompanying Mrs. Mu and Aunt Zong to look after the children in the village. He ran to the pig pen to help feed the pigs, and he ran back and forth to help drive the ducks.

He was especially dedicated to cultivating land. He was clearly old. Once he picked up the hoe, he worked very neatly, not inferior to the young man Mu Yunchao at all.

"Wow, old man, you are always going strong! I thought that nobles like you have never walked into the farmland..."

Mu Yunchao's words came from his heart. After all, he asked himself, if the Mu family had not declined to this point, he would never have set foot on farmland, and would have probably taken the imperial examination to become an official.

The old man smiled cheerfully, holding the heavy hoe in his hand. He raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't feel that his work was hard at all.

Even though he is old, his body is still very strong. On weekdays, he does not stay at home like other dignified old men. Instead, he goes out for a ride from time to time, so he can work neatly.

The old man patted Mu Yunchao's shoulder knowingly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, and said slowly: "My child, you don't understand this... I, the old man, did a lot when I was young. A living person did not grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth, so he is not that weak..."

Mu Yunchao looked like he didn't believe it. He shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "Old man, I don't really believe what you say... You are from the city lord's palace, how come you have done so much work since you were a child? ?”

In Mu Yunchao's eyes, the huge Yue City was controlled by the City Lord's Mansion. Even the emperor who was far away in the capital could not control the affairs of Yue City. The old man of the City Lord's Mansion must have been of noble origin since he was a child, and was above everyone else. Above the entire Yue City.

"You kid, do you know where the City Lord's Mansion came from?"

The topic suddenly changed. Mu Yunchao shook his head in confusion and muttered in confusion: "Old man, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing Mu Yunchao's serious and simple words, the old man paused for a moment, then laughed heartily a few times. He leaned the hoe in his hand against the wall and rolled off the clothes on his right arm. Come on.The sleeves were pulled up, revealing a section of the arm underneath. Dark scars crisscrossed the old man's arms like spider webs, and almost no intact skin could be seen.

With such serious and numerous scars, it can be seen that the old man must have had many wounds when he was young. They accumulated over many years, which is why he has so many old scars.

From these criss-crossing scars, we can see how serious and frequent the injuries the old man suffered back then were, so that new and old injuries overlapped.

This was only a small area on his right arm. The old man hadn't even shown the young boy in front of him the other scars, but it was already enough to shock Mu Yunchao.

"Ah..." Mu Yunchao looked at the many shocking scars on the old man's arm in astonishment, and exclaimed in surprise. He had no idea how so many scars were caused, "How could it be like this?"

As if he was afraid that he would be dazzled, Mu Yunchao's eyes widened, and he cautiously touched the scar with his hands. Touching the hard and rough scar made him sure that he was not dazzled.

Mu Yunchao was astonished and gently rubbed the deepest scars. It was enough to see that the injuries at that time must have gone deep into the bones. Even after they were healed, they still left deep marks. Such dense and heavy injuries would not It will happen to ordinary people.

After being surprised, Mu Yunchao vaguely understood something. He raised his head, with a bit of surprise and admiration in his bright eyes, and asked, "Have you been on the battlefield?"

He remembered that his deceased grandfather also had so many scars on his body, which were all left by fighting on the battlefield. With the scars on his body and his military exploits, he won a lot of success for the Mu family to gain a foothold in the capital. rely.It's just that Mu Yunchao is not very old. As he grows older, his memory gradually becomes blurred. He only vaguely remembers that his grandfather died when he was young, leaving behind a prosperous Mu family full of descendants. It was quite famous in the capital at that time.

It's a pity that he himself doesn't have much talent for martial arts. He was raised by his grandmother to read and read since he was a child. He originally followed the path of a scholar and scholar, but Mu Yunchao can also understand how unforgettable and life-changing these deep scars must be. Marks left by critical injuries.

Therefore, Mu Yunchao looked at the old man with more and more admiration. The scars of fighting on the battlefield were not something ordinary people could endure.

Hearing the child's admiring question, the old man smiled kindly and heartily, and suddenly let out a long sigh of nostalgia. He looked at the distance of the farmland with a pair of sharp eagle eyes. Across the vast empty space, it seemed that Recalling the stories of those years.

The long years have worn away the old man's high spirits when he was young, but they have not erased his memories and feelings. (End of chapter)
