Chapter 113: Chapter 106: Hundred-Household Joint Letter of Gratitude, Rescue Plan_2

Immediately, Su Mu asked Luo Mei to go inside the house to rest for a while.

"No, I almost let Sister Miaomiao and Xiaoyue..."

"I can’t make any more mistakes this time."

The old man and Xiaoyue’s grandmother heard the conversation in the yard and came out to find Luo Mei, "Luo Mei, you’re here, why are you covered in blood, come in and take a bath."

Luo Mei felt guilty and hesitated. Finally, she looked at Su Mu, and only after seeing Su Mu nod did she enter the house.

Soon, Luo Mei came out after taking a bath and putting on new clothes, then brought a small stool to sit in the yard.

Su Mu continued to meditate with his eyes closed, while Luo Mei sat there like a guardian deity.

Once the sky was fully bright.

The village chief, Old Xiao, brought his family with chickens, ducks, and vegetables to visit.

"Su Mu, these chickens and ducks are raised by us. Please accept them if you don’t mind. These vegetables are also grown by us."

After Old Xiao, the whole village gradually brought things to the yard. The courtyard filled with people to the point there was almost no place to step.

The old man received everyone warmly, feeling a bit proud about the situation.

"Everyone, you shouldn’t be so polite. Our family is part of East Village, this is what we should do."

Just then.

A large group of over a hundred more people came outside the yard, stunning everyone inside. They thought something had happened.

But soon they recognized the people were from the neighboring Charcoal Village, led by the old village chief.

Immediately, East Village’s chief Old Xiao approached to inquire.

"Old Hu, what’s the matter?"

Before Old Hu could speak, the people from Charcoal Village excitedly pointed out Su Mu in the courtyard.

"There’s no mistake, it’s him!"

An old man even tried to kneel, but Su Mu quickly helped him up, leaving the people of East Village puzzled about the situation.

"Benefactor, you are the savior of our Charcoal Village. If it weren’t for you dealing with the fierce beasts yesterday, our village might have been in trouble!"

Charcoal Village’s chief Old Hu was so moved that he eagerly stepped forward to grip Su Mu’s hands.

At that moment, everyone in the courtyard suddenly understood what had happened. After they went to sleep last night, Su Mu had actually done so much, even helping Charcoal Village.

"Benefactor, you haven’t told me your name yet?"

"Chief Hu, you’re being too generous. I just happened to come across it."

"His name is Su Mu, and he’s also the benefactor of our East Village!" Old Xiao immediately said.

"Su Mu? So the benefactor’s name is Su Mu. Quick, bring the pen and paper."

Some elders quickly unrolled a scroll, revealing names from Charcoal Village, led by words written in cinnabar red.

"Gifted to the savior of our village from all residents of Charcoal Village."

The scroll contained names with humble yet grateful words, such as, "Thank you, benefactor, may you have great fortune and wealth!"

It was a collective letter of gratitude from a hundred households in Charcoal Village!

Right there, Chief Old Hu added Su Mu’s name in bold characters.

"Su Mu, we cannot offer much apart from this letter containing every household’s name and sentiment from our village, please accept it."

Su Mu received it solemnly with both hands, and then the villagers brought more chickens, ducks, geese, and fresh eggs, almost filling the house.

The yard was noisy with people, and Miaomiao, rubbing her sleepy eyes, was startled by the crowd, soon recognizing many people from Charcoal Village.

She immediately guessed what had happened, and her mother pulled Miaomiao aside to show her the scroll.

Seeing those red words, Miaomiao felt a touch of pride for her husband, Su Mu.

Not long after, Reservoir Village learned of Charcoal Village’s gratitude visit to East Village. Before the chief could say anything, the villagers hurried to join together for a visit.

Within a day, the old man’s yard was nearly trampled by visitors; many villages heard and quickly came.

Some even suggested organizing a banquet for a thousand people to express gratitude to Su Mu and celebrate him as an outstanding figure.

Su Mu shook his head and politely declined. After some discussion, the chiefs agreed it wasn’t appropriate now, as the beast tide hadn’t passed yet.

"We definitely must hold one after this!"

"And Teacher Jiang, you didn’t tell us you have such an excellent son-in-law. Are you afraid we’ll find out?" Many of the old man’s friends spoke up.

"Alright, alright, this is on me. But you know, Su Mu and Miaomiao are quite low-key and don’t like too much hassle. We can make it up later."

The bustle only subsided slightly by nightfall.

Su Mu asked Luo Mei about the beast tide situation.

"The beast tide had shown signs half a month ago, finally breaking out in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range in the base’s northern suburbs. Other parts of the base were somewhat affected."

"Has there been a beast tide outbreak in Linjiang before?" Su Mu asked seriously, wanting to confirm if Demon Cultists were involved.

"There has been. My dad mentioned one eighty-six years ago."

Upon hearing this, the old man spoke, "Yes, there was an outbreak before. I heard it from my parents. The village wasn’t much affected then; it ended in a day or two, also to the north, seemingly ending abruptly."

Hearing this, Su Mu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luo Girl, how is the situation in the mountain range now?" the old man asked.

"Last night, except for a few people maintaining order, others from the Armed Department, Martial Arts Association, and City Lord’s Mansion hurried to the Fierce Beast Mountain Range. My dad and Uncle Gong also went immediately."

"What about the casualties?"

"That, I’m not sure for now." Luo Mei’s expression was somewhat grave.

The old man was very concerned about the beast tide frontline, asking many questions. Luo Mei’s tone was heavy, clearly knowing some insider information but not revealing it all.

Later, the old man approached Su Mu alone, "Su Mu, the village’s beast tide should be over. Luo Girl admires you a lot. With your abilities, I think you should head north."

"Besides, Miaomiao mentioned you went to the joint training camp of the three cities, though she didn’t say much about it, I know the city is nurturing you there."

"Also, Luo Girl, a Fourth Level Martial Artist, is here, she’ll suffice."

"Dad, I’d like to stay in the village a few more days, otherwise I won’t be at ease."

Late at night, Su Mu received a call from Luo Cheng.

"Su Mu, let’s keep it short. I heard from Luo Mei you’re back. The beast tide outbreak is perhaps more serious than you think, honestly, we’re short-handed. I’d really like you to come."

"But there’s another pressing matter. Professor Yuan from the South China Martial Arts University’s Spirit Plant Department is trapped in an abandoned research institute. I’d like you to rescue him."

"I previously sent an elite squad from the Martial Arts Association, and their last message indicated a possible Fourth Level Fierce Beast there."

"This person is somewhat connected to you, Professor Yuan is a friend of your teacher, Wang Shuheng."

"Chairman Luo, please send me the location."

"Alright, I’ll send you the coordinates of the research institute now, hoping you can move quickly."
