Perhaps because the killing of the leader of the Taiping Sect shook the morale of the army, today's offensive was not very violent, and of course, the project of the day before yesterday may not be fierce for the defenders.

Chen Mo successfully shot a few wooden arrows on the wooden stake, but before he had time to change the venue, Zhou Fang had already sounded the gong and collected his troops.

There were a large number of dead bodies on the ground, the blood staining the dirt brown, and the air was filled with a foul-smelling surprise.

Looking at that piece of dead corpses, Chen Mo suddenly felt an unspeakable guilt in his heart, perhaps, if he didn't kill the leader, or chose another way, such as hacking on the battlefield, maybe these people didn't have to die, right?

The Zhou side may not have much ability to fight, but it has quite the means to suppress the rebellion under his hands.

The atmosphere around was a little silent, including the people who came back from the war, there was no joy for the rest of their lives, some were just numb and desperate, looking at the corpses in that place, it seemed that in addition to breaking through the city in front of them, they had no way to live, and Zhou Fang's ruthlessness made people feel chilled at the same time, but also successfully won everyone's fear.

"Be careful lately, don't do anything again." Yang Mao came over with a stack of bread and handed it to Chen Mo, he didn't know if this matter had anything to do with Chen Mo, but as a fellow villager, when he learned that something was wrong here, Yang Mao really pinched a cold sweat for Chen Mo: "Zhou ...... Qu Shuai will not have much mercy. ”

"Uncle Yang, among you elites, there are many fellow villagers here, right?" Chen Mo took the dough cake, and after being silent for a long time, he looked at Yang Mao: "You Qu Shuai didn't care about you?" ”

"Naturally, there are, but there are more people who don't have them, like this, you can still bring something to help from time to time, some people have suffered from fellow villagers, but there are more people who don't, and they don't want to fall on themselves, so they will naturally stop it." Yang Mao sighed and said.

"Then did they think that when it was their turn, those people would not help them!" Chen Mo looked at Yang Maodao, in fact, this is the same as helping each other in the township, today my family is in trouble, everyone will help, tomorrow another family will suffer, everyone will not stand idly by, it is precisely because of this that outsiders dare not be humiliated.

"It's not the same place here." Yang Mao shook his head: "The outside world is more complicated than the township, these days, you should also understand." ”

Chen Mo opened his mouth, he actually wanted to pull Yang Mao into the gang, after all, it was difficult for them to do big things with several orphans and widows, but once this kind of thing was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable, and Yang Mao and Li Jiu had no worries about food and clothing by Zhou Fang's side, and they were quite important, Chen Mo didn't dare to take risks, so he finally chose to be silent.

Yang Mao only thought that he was upset, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Most of the things in this world are like this, Qu Shuai is in Liwei, and he wants everyone to be obedient, so he kills ruthlessly these days, that is, there is no such thing as today, in order to establish prestige, he will also kill a group of people, many people in the township, many of them can't be found now, even if they occasionally see them, they are also scolding us, you are different, Uncle doesn't want you to have an accident, and when Quyang is broken, I can settle you down and no longer suffer." ”

"If one day, the Taiping Sect is defeated, will those of us who have received the favor of the Taiping Sect become traitors?" Chen Mo asked rhetorically, he didn't think that the Taiping Sect could win, although it looked like the momentum was huge at the moment, but most of them were forcibly coerced by the Taiping Sect like them.

"Didn't think about it!" Yang Mao was silent for a moment, then shook his head, looked into the distance and said, "You have read books and think far ahead, but it is not easy for Uncle to live now, how can you talk about the future?" Maybe you will win, maybe you will lose, but let's talk about it after today. ”

In his voice, there was a thick sense of exhaustion and bitterness, joining the Taiping Sect was not his intention, but now that he has come to this point, what can he do? The villagers' incomprehension and abuse, and confusion about the future, Yang Mao is obviously not happy.

Chen Mo nodded, he thought the same way before, and even if he had the same ability as Uncle Yang, in order for his mother to live a better life, he would choose like Uncle Yang, but unfortunately, the Taiping Sect could not take him a ten-year-old child seriously, he could only take his mother to struggle to survive, and therefore, he had more choices.

"Live well, and when this battle is over, Uncle will help you settle down." Uncle Yang stood up and grinned at Chen Mo.

"Well, Uncle Yang, take care, you are alive too." Chen Mo stood up and saluted Uncle Yang.

"It would be nice if your Uncle Wang was still here, he has great ability, maybe he can lead us to live better." Uncle Yang had already turned to leave, muttering as he went.

Uncle Wang......

Chen Mo looked at Uncle Yang's back, and his heart was also a little throbbing, if Uncle Wang was here, he would be able to rely on him more, at least he didn't have to bear the livelihood of five people by himself like now.

It's a pity that I don't know where Uncle Wang is now?

"Brother Mo, where did you get the bread?" Back in the newly set up simple tent, Dumb took the dough cake in Chen Mo's hand, counted them roughly, there were dozens, and said with a look of surprise.

"Uncle Yang has just been here." Chen Mo sat down and replied while sharpening the wooden arrow.

"Humph!" Hearing this, Da Lang snorted coldly and said, "That traitor, what are you going to do to see him?" ”

When his parents were bad, he begged Yang Mao, but the person was already dead, and Yang Mao couldn't reach out again to take revenge.

"If it weren't for him, there would still be a few people alive in our township who don't know, and I killed people several times, but Uncle Yang and Uncle Li helped settle it." Chen Mo took out a piece of bread and took a bite, not wanting to say more on this issue, and said to his mother: "The arrow book has been sent to the city, I am going to guard outside the city tonight, I don't know when I will come back, my mother doesn't have to wait for me." ”

"Be careful, don't get into an argument with someone." Mother Chen nodded.

"Don't worry, mother, I usually won't take the initiative to cause trouble." Chen Mo got up and smiled.

"I'll go with you." Da Lang stood up and said.

"Just go alone, you stay and watch the house." Chen Mo looked at the dumb who was about to move, and frowned.

"Oh......" Dumb and Da Lang had to nod when they heard this, and then stuffed Chen Mo with a piece of dough and said, "I'll come back when I get something." ”

"Hmm." Chen Mo was not polite, he is eating more and more now, and he can't eat enough for three or five breads a day, so he survives by drinking water.

Except for the tent, it was pitch black, and the moonlight was not so bright every night, and people could hardly see anything at night, unless there was an open flame, and nothing could be seen beyond three steps.

There were torches burning on the city wall in the distance even at night, so that Chen Mo would not lose his way, and groped all the way towards the agreed place, there was still half an hour before the agreed time, in order to avoid being discovered, he specially chose the time at midnight, this time, most people slept......
