"Running out of food?" Ten days later, Chen Mo looked at the shriveled grain bag and asked his mother.

"Hmm." Mother Chen nodded bitterly, not only her, but everyone had already run out of food, and even if there was one, there was not much.

How can you live without food?

Although the money bag on Chen Mo's back was bulging, it could not be exchanged for food, they walked all the way from Xiaqiu here, and they had walked more than two hundred miles, and almost all of them were homeless people like them along the way, the countryside was burned, the city refused to enter the homeless, and the breath of despair permeated every homeless person.

"If this continues, everyone will go crazy." Chen Mo sat down beside his mother, holding the sunspot, and looked at the homeless people who were hurrying in the distance, these people were like them, they didn't know where to go, they just blindly followed the crowd forward.

Mother Chen nodded, did not speak, what are hungry crazy people, they have seen it these days, they will eat everything they can see, grass roots, dirt and even ...... Person!

Hunt?

It doesn't exist, let alone a rabbit now, if the mountain tiger dares to appear in the sight of these homeless people, it will be quickly eaten alive, and people who are hungry to the limit seem to have something released from the depths of their bodies, if it weren't for Chen Mo's ruthlessness, and the people from their hometowns around him, the sunspots would have been snatched and cooked.

"The imperial court will take care of it, such a large-scale famine, the imperial court will not sit idly by." Mother Chen touched Chen Mo's head and said with relief, but maybe even she didn't believe it.

Just these days, there are tens of thousands of displaced people they have encountered, and I am afraid that there are more people who have not seen it, and this is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, such a large-scale riot, if you want to manage it, I am afraid that it has already begun to be managed, and I have not seen any county town to help the victims.

"It's a long time since you had to take care of it." Chen Mo looked at his mother's luck as usual, it had dropped to 6 o'clock, just like himself, if it continued like this, when his luck ran out, I am afraid it would be time to spend his life.

Hunger, disease, and natural disasters can all affect people's fortunes, and Chen Mo found that since he left the village, his fortunes could not recover as before.

Or it can also be understood that the home can keep their luck in a basic state, and once the home is gone, the luck can no longer be maintained.

We must find a place to live as soon as possible, but at the moment, where can we settle down in the Jianghuai area?

What about outside JAC? Chen Mo didn't know, but now, he could only get out of the Jianghuai zone as soon as possible.

Yang Mao took Li Jiu and hurriedly rushed to the place where everyone was gathered, and handed Chen Mo and Chen's mother a dough cake: "Eat." ”

"Uncle Yang, where did you get to eat?" Chen Mo looked at Yang Mao curiously.

"The people of the Taiping Sect are handing out food." Yang Mao sat down.

"Taiping Sect!?" Chen Mo subconsciously picked up the short bow.

"Don't worry, it's not the gang that hunted us down." Li Jiu shook his head and smiled: "It's another wave, they are gathering homeless people everywhere, as long as they follow them, they will have something to eat." ”

"They're so kind?" Chen Mo frowned and said, "Those who destroy people's villages are the Taiping Sect, right?" ”

Yang Mao and Li Jiu sat down, Chen Mo nodded after a moment of silence and said: "It should be about the same, if they want to rebel, they naturally have troops, send people to pretend to be bandits and robbers to destroy our villages, and then in the name of the Taiping Sect, they will show kindness and recruit us into their command...... On this day...... It's going to change. ”

Chen Mo ate the bread with cold water, but in his heart he remembered the teachings of the Taiping Sect when he was preaching, the sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand, this sky now seems to be not the real sky, but the Han Dynasty, this yellow sky is naturally the Taiping Sect.

The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious.

Chen Mo suddenly turned his head and looked at his mother: "Mother, once this year passes, is it the year of Jiazi?" ”

Mother Chen calculated and nodded: "According to the year, this year should be the seventh year of Guanghe, and it is the year of Jiazi." ”

"Don't think about it." Yang Mao sighed and said, "We can't do anything." ”

In the seventh year of Guanghe, Chen Mo is ten years old, what can a ten-year-old child do? Moreover, looking at the current situation, the Taiping Sect has already blatantly rebelled.

"If our home is destroyed, don't we still have to thank it for its kindness?" Chen Mo took a bite of the dough cake and said with some indignation.

"No thanksgiving." Li Jiu took a bite of the dough cake and said: "But we have to live, people live, there is tomorrow, Ergou, in this matter, don't be reckless, think about your mother, now we don't even have anything to eat, if we don't follow them, we have to starve to death, you are still young, and you have the ability, if it is too pity to die here, let's pass this pass first." ”

Life or hatred, which is more important? This was Chen Mo's first choice in his life, and he looked at his mother a little confused.

"Survive and think about anything else." Mother Chen sighed and said, "We are not qualified to choose. ”

"What if those people find out?" Chen Mo couldn't accept it, he was still hostile yesterday, but today he wanted to take refuge, which made him feel very awkward, and turned his head to look at Uncle Yang and asked.

"I inquired, the great sage and good teacher have a great plan this time, more than half of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are rebelling, there are rebels everywhere, we may not be able to meet them when we join them, even if we do, they are now considered their own people, if we really want to do it, we will hold together, and they may not dare to provoke us." Uncle Yang shook his head and motioned to Chen Mo not to worry.

Chen Mo nodded, he wanted to live now, but the counties and towns around the country refused to take him in, so he could only follow the Taiping Sect, and most of the world was swarming, could it be that this day was really going to change?

"I'll go and tell the others, everyone get ready, and we'll go see the little leader in a while." Uncle Yang nodded with satisfaction, patted the dust and stood up.

"Mother, do you think this Taiping Sect can really replace the Great Han?" Looking at the direction in which the two left, Chen Mo said a little distractedly.

"It's hard." Mother Chen thought for a while.

"Why?" Chen Mo looked at his mother in confusion.

"It's too chaotic, it's out of order." Mother Chen sighed and said: "Although the momentum is numerous, it is precisely because of this that it is difficult to control, and the Taiping Sect is afraid that there is no one who can control it, this is one of them." ”

To put it bluntly, it is talent, what if you have 100,000 or 1 million troops? Can anyone command these people? The talents who can command thousands of troops and horses are mostly in the army, families, and the Taiping Sect uses such means to incite the people, and how many such talents can be recruited? Without talent, no matter how many people there are, it is useless.

"Anything else?" Chen Mo said curiously.

"The second is internal chaos, the Han Dynasty has laws to bind all the people, and the Taiping Sect may not be convincing based on its teachings alone; Third, this war costs money and food, and the Taiping Sect does not have these, so I am afraid it will be difficult to last. Mother Chen smiled bitterly: "Although I am forced by the situation now, if I have the opportunity, I should think about getting out as soon as possible." ”

"Mother rest assured, the child will protect the mother." Chen Mo nodded and said.
