Although he was alone, Chen Mo still had a good time during the New Year. From the first to the fifteenth day of the new year, he could not return to his home at all.
He received countless phone calls every day from friends who asked him to come over for dinner. Although they had almost no contact with each other on weekdays, Chen Mo was really popular in the past and had a dozen sincere friends.
Not to mention the senior sister who drives to pick up Chen Mo every morning to have breakfast at home. In addition, there are also distant relatives from the south. They are all distant relatives of Chen Mo’s grandma. Although they are not very familiar with Chen Mo, they are concerned about her.
The tone cannot be faked. Even though they knew that Chen Mo had no worries about food and drink, the elders still forcibly paid Chen Mo and mailed specialties that could be piled several meters high. This made Chen Mo, who usually did not see any emotional fluctuations, endure it.
My eyes couldn't help but turn red.
And he didn't forget to mail some nourishing medicinal materials to the old man as a return gift, and also sent a batch of tonic medicine to his uncles.
After the happy New Year, Chen Mo set out again, and this time, the system's portal sent him to the wilderness, which at first glance looked like a deserted place with no human habitation.
Although Chen Mo was not a road addict and had a good sense of direction, he still wandered around in the mountains and forests for five or six days before he found a muddy dirt road that we could call a road. He wanted to block the road and wait for a ride, but he waited for a long time.
Waiting for a crooked old ox-drawn cart, sitting in the cart was an old man who was dressed in a way that was incompatible with Chen Mo. He had yellow teeth and was dirty all over.
"Sir, I wonder why you stopped old Joseph?"
"Where are you going?"
Chen Mo looked at the other party's clothes. There were no zippers and buttons commonly used by modern people, which meant that he might have come to an ancient world this time. Looking at the lush forest around him, Chen Mo estimated that it might be a world similar to the Legend of Merlin, or something like that.
It was a world where those fairy tales were adapted from real people, so he simply took out the gray smock from his backpack and covered himself, which narrowed the clothing gap between the two parties. At least that's what it seemed on the surface.
The coachman replied respectfully.
"Of course I'm going to deliver vegetables to Bree. Look, the vegetables on this cart are all the best!"
The driver pointed to Lao Gao's cabbage, carrots, etc. piled on the ox cart.
"Bree?"
Chen Mo said that he seemed to have heard of this place, but he forgot where it was.
"Then give me a ride, this is the reward!"
Chen Mo threw out a silver coin, and the coachman immediately smiled brightly after catching it. This was enough for him to have a good meal at the Prancing Horse Hotel and then sleep happily.
"Please get in the car, rich master!"
Chen Mo sat on the right side of the driver and just watched the oxcart swaying as it continued walking. Although he still didn't know where he was, Chen Mo looked at the mountains and rivers around him and was very satisfied with this place.
It looks beautiful, perfect for a vacation after having fun in the city.
After the ox cart traveled almost twenty miles on the muddy road, a village appeared in front of Chen Mo.
"Is this Bree?"
"Yes, this is Bree, sir!"
The old coachman waved his whip and proudly introduced the town.
"If you want to eat something hot and take a shower, you can go to the Prancing Pony Tavern in town. It's the best pub nearby. Even the dwarfs from the Shire like to rest here!"
"Prancing Pony, Charles?"
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows. He seemed to have heard some words that he shouldn't have heard. But if it was really Middle-earth, Chen Mo thought of the few family buckets he had packed in his portable space, and suddenly had a bold idea.
"Yes, then I'll go take a look first!"
The ox cart stopped in front of the town's not-so-thick wooden city gate, and after the gatekeeper confirmed the driver's identity, he put the ox cart in.
The whole town slowly unfolded before Chen Mo's eyes. Just like the muddy roads outside, the roads in Bree Town were not hardened at all. At most, residents scattered some stones at the door of their houses and stepped on them, and their shoes would
Most of it was submerged.
Fortunately, Chen Mo was wearing military boots, so his movements were not hindered. However, his blouse was splashed with a lot of mud, which made Chen Mo frown.
He should have brought a washer and dryer!
Looking at the sign hanging on the wall, Chen Mo stretched out his hand and pushed open the door. Suddenly, a roar of people mixed with a wave of heat hit his face, and there was the aroma of fermented wort in the air.
Chen Mo looked at the decoration of the store. In the center of the tavern is a huge zigzag bar, surrounded by square tables of various sizes. It is still full of customers, and the second floor is the accommodation room, where businessmen and merchants can get accommodation.
Very good rest.
"What would you like?"
When Chen Mo was looking around, a thin man who was not tall and had a square scarf on his head came over. He also bared his yellow teeth and asked.
"Well, is there a menu?"
Chen Mo asked, he didn't know what delicious food there was in the Prancing Horse Tavern.
"That's not the case. Our place is no bigger than Gondor!"
The man shook his head and said that the chef in the tavern is still very good. He will try his best to satisfy you whatever you want to eat.
"Well, let's have some of your best, no wine, milk or water will do!"
As he spoke, Chen Mo placed a German gold mark on the table.
"Is this enough?"
Seeing the fineness of the gold coins, the man immediately became happy, nodded repeatedly, and shouted loudly at the shop assistant to move quickly.
"That's enough, that's enough. Quick, Charlie, tidy up another good guest room for this gentleman!"
"Wait, I have something else to do!"
"You can tell me, I will tell you everything!"
"That's right, have you ever heard of Strider? He is a ranger!"
Chen Mo wanted to say the Human Emperor's real name, but he thought that Aragorn might still be fighting guerrillas in the mountains at this moment. It was estimated that not many people knew his real name, so he could only use his nickname.
As a result, the boss looked confused and shook his head, saying that he had never heard of this person.
"Well, that's alright, I understand. Why don't you go and do the work?"
Chen Mo touched his chin. If Strider hasn't appeared here yet, the plot may still be going on for a while. He should just wait here. It won't be long before he sees Chapo coming.
"Hey, Shorty, you want a fight?"
Just when Chen Mo was thinking this, a sound came from the door. Chen Mo took a look and found that they were two tall humans, making things difficult for a dwarf.
"Not a hobbit!"
Chen Mo shook his head and wanted to turn his head back, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he turned back again to confirm.
