Longevity starts with learning

On the day of the reward, the bustle of the inspection office was comparable to the monthly salary.

It was almost time for Chu Mu to start his duty, and he just arrived at the inspection office.

The inspection office, which was not too big, was already extremely noisy and crowded.

In more than a month, a bandit suppression operation, hundreds of inspectors in the inspection office were replaced by new ones, and a dozen of them were replaced.

Chu Mu was a newcomer and didn't know many people. Now, looking around, they all seemed to be unfamiliar faces.

"Team leader!"

"Team leader!"

When he walked into the inspection office, Chu Mu was still prepared to find a place to stand as usual, but the greetings that came one after another caught Chu Mu off guard.

Strange faces, and respectful calls of team leader.

At this time, Chu Mu seemed to realize that he was not the ordinary inspector who was unknown before.

Going into the mountains to suppress bandits, taking several heads, and being promoted to patrol inspector with a few people, are enough to make him more famous in Nanshan Town.

Team leader...

Looking around, there was a warm and attentive attitude. Chu Mu slowly savored this title in his heart, and the taste in his heart was a little hard to describe.

In his past and present lives, this was the first time he had experienced such a feeling.

This taste seemed... not bad?

It was not that he was greedy for power and fame, but... this feeling seemed to make Chu Mu feel more secure.

Martial arts are internal, it is the sense of security that one gives oneself.

And now... this is external, it is the sense of security brought by the promotion of power and status.

Chu Mu smiled and chatted with patrol inspectors one after another as if he had learned it by himself. The confidence and self-confidence brought by martial arts seemed to be changing Chu Mu quietly.

It was not until the call for assembly sounded that Chu Mu stopped chatting with his colleagues and went to the assembly location.

Normally, rewards are received with joy, but the atmosphere of the Nanshan Inspection Office's reward this time is obviously different.

After all, the inspectors are all locals, and the inspection office is also a local government office, and the casualties are all local.

And this time, more than a hundred inspectors were killed and injured at one time, which is obviously too heavy for a small town like Nanshan.

The new faces everywhere in the inspection office, and the inspectors' families who came to receive pensions and rewards, more or less sadness, seem to have cast an indescribable depression on this reward.

The deceased received a pension, and the living got promoted and made money.

In a sense, the promotion and reward of Chu Mu and others were undoubtedly extremely dazzling under this depression.

It seems that this atmosphere affected this reward ceremony, and it was also very brief.

Just like distributing monthly salaries, everyone went up to receive the rewards one by one, and then hurriedly dispersed and went back to their homes.

People's sorrows and joys are not connected. If there are heavy departures, there will naturally be joyful ones.

Chu Mu was not happy, but at this moment, he was also surrounded by congratulations.

From ordinary patrol inspector, promoted to team leader...

The monthly salary increased by five silvers, including black gold, it was ten silvers more per month.

The armor was also changed from the cotton armor of ordinary patrol inspectors to the iron armor of team leader.

The patrol waist badge was also engraved with the words "Team Leader".

Although the position of team leader is not big, it also means that Chu Mu has been promoted from being managed by others to managing others.

The power of the dozens of patrol inspectors under his command should not be underestimated.

Surrounded by everyone, Chu Mu really dealt with it well, and promised to invite Fengxue Tower for a banquet in the evening, and then he barely left the patrol office.

Although his injury has not healed, although his public office has been promoted, it is obvious that Chu Mu will not be able to perform his duties in the short term.

After leaving the patrol office, Chu Mu did not stay and went straight to the private school.

I have been learning to read for more than a month. It was okay to read some popular books before, and I could understand them by guessing. But now I am reading professional books such as medicine, which is related to my martial arts, so I can't expect to guess.

Reading through is a must.

Knowing to read must be complete.

After more than a month in the private school, Chu Mu is naturally familiar with the way. He walked along the alleys and soon arrived at the gate of Chang Mansion.

The gate of the mansion was open, and the sound of reading in the mansion was clear.

The tuition and study expenses of dozens of silver coins are obviously not in line with the theorem of poor literature and rich martial arts in this era.

It should be said that the rich literature, the richer, the martial arts.

But in this private school of Chang Mansion, there are many children studying.

After all, guarding the treasure mountain of Nanshan Iron Mine, any oil and water is enough to make many people rich.

Although the cost of studying is high, it is nothing to many people.

The scholars of this era are no different from the scholars in the history of the previous life.

They all study and then pass the imperial examinations, such as Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren...

One step, one step, one level, one level... one level!

Until now, Chu Mu has not decided whether he should continue to study.

After all, compared with the benefits of fame and being an official, the future of martial arts... seems to make Chu Mu more excited.

With his thoughts flying in his mind, Chu Mu also stepped into the private school.

At present, Chu Mu's journey of reading and learning characters has already entered the fast lane.

Most of the basic characters have been recognized and understood. Now that he has entered the private school, he has learned more about the medical books obtained from Mr. Li.

The only difference between studying in a private school and studying in Mingxin Hall is that reading medical books in a private school is to understand the words and phrases in the medical books that he does not know and does not know their meanings.

In Mingxin Hall, he learns the knowledge in medical books to lay the foundation for practicing martial arts after his body recovers.

One morning, one afternoon, until dusk, Chu Mu walked out of Chang's house, and then... went straight to Fengyue Tower.

Promotion banquets, social etiquette, in this era, are naturally unavoidable.

It was not until midnight, when the curfew had long passed, that Chu Mu and the other inspectors walked out of Fengyue Tower.

The so-called curfew obviously had no restraint on a group of inspectors who had just had a good time.

After all, the curfew was also enforced and supervised by the inspectors.

Watching his colleagues and superiors who were drunk leave one by one, Chu Mu went towards home.

His injuries had not healed, so he could not have a good time. In Fengyue Tower, he naturally did not drink a drop of alcohol, nor did he indulge in the slightest.

Chu Mu touched the wound on his abdomen, and the faint numbness undoubtedly proved the degree of healing of the wound.

In just a few days, he had healed from being almost disemboweled to this degree.

The prescription that Elder Li prepared was obviously effective.

"It should take less than a month."

Chu Mu thought to himself that at this rate of healing, he would be almost fully recovered in ten days or so.

As he thought about it, Chu Mu's slow steps suddenly stopped.

Subconsciously, Chu Mu grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist.

At this moment, his eyes locked onto the roof of an inn in front of him on the left.

In the darkness, human figures could be seen flashing, but they were several black-clothed figures flying on the roof, like monkeys. After a few ups and downs, they disappeared from Chu Mu's sight.
