Chapter 48: The Human Heart
The surroundings were very chaotic, and there was not even any decent guard, Chen Mo walked out of the tent with Dumb like this.
Dumb naturally can't be as calm as Chen Mo, and follow Chen Mo as a thief, the environment here is messy, and no one pays attention to them, otherwise if they look like this, they may be arrested directly.
"Come with me to my mother's place, and take care of it." Looking at Aunt Cai, who was gobbling up dry and hard bread, Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, but still sent out an invitation.
After everyone broke up unhappily before, they had little contact and rejoined their respective groups, Dumb and Aunt Cai were orphans and widows, no one was willing to take them in, looking at Aunt Cai's appearance, even if Chen Mo had become hard-hearted in these days, he was still a little unbearable, and the two families were together, and they also had a care.
Dumb didn't speak, silently watched his mother eat bread, pulled Chen Mo, and after the two left some distance, Dumb looked at Chen Mo and said, "Brother Ergou, Da Lang said that one of the people who distributed food over there also died, did you do it?" ”
"Hmm." Chen Mo sat down, took out a piece of bread from his backpack and said, "Eat quickly, we'll leave in a while." ”
This Taiping Sect has gathered so many people, naturally it is impossible for them all to get together, everyone is separate, but it is not rigorous, Chen Mo took his mother on the other side a few days ago, hungry and famine, and finally killed people and took food, so he came here to continue to mix.
Just like my mother said, the management of the Taiping Sect is very chaotic, people flee every day, and no one cares, if this happens, as long as you don't get caught on the spot and flee to another battalion, you will be fine soon.
"Brother Ergou, can you ...... Don't you kill people? Dumb looked at Chen Mo, Chen Mo at this moment made him a little strange.
"This is a cannibalistic world, we are all orphans and widows, no one cares whether we live or die, if you don't fight, you can only starve to death." After Chen Mo was silent for a long time, he looked at Dumb seriously and said: "Dumb, we are from a Zhuangzi, I want to help you, but in this situation, I can't help you every time, follow me, our brothers protect my mother and your mother, and there is still a chance to survive, starve to death or follow me, you choose yourself." ”
His gaze was very cold, and Dumb looked a little afraid, especially thinking of the scene where Chen Mo did not hesitate to attack people who were much older than them before, and also killed the other party ruthlessly, the fear of Chen Mo in his heart was a little more.
Although Chen Mo had also killed people before, he was forced at that time, but now he is taking the initiative to kill, which makes Dumb a little unacceptable.
"I'm going to leave in a while, I can't stay here, you can figure it out for yourself." Seeing that Dumb was hesitant, Chen Mo stood up and walked towards his mother, he had just killed someone, and he was still the one in charge of the grain from the Taiping Sect, and the people of the Taiping Sect would definitely check, he couldn't stay here any longer, he had to change places, and he would talk about it after two days when the limelight had passed.
He needs help, but if he doesn't have the guts, it's a burden.
"Brother Ergou, wait for me, I'll take my mother!" Seeing Chen Mo leaving, Dumb suddenly panicked, and the scenes of hunger kept appearing in his mind these days, although it was a little difficult to accept killing people and taking food, but these days, when their mother and son were about to starve to death, who had ever taken pity on them, without Chen Mo, they were afraid that they would starve to death.
Chen Mo glanced back at the dumb who helped Aunt Cai out, nodded at Aunt Cai, didn't speak, and went straight back to his mother.
"Wang~" Heizi wagged his tail excitedly when he saw Chen Mo coming back.
"Sister-in-law of the Cai family?" Mother Chen was a little surprised when she saw Aunt Cai, it had been a long time since they broke up unhappily a month ago.
Aunt Cai's body was still a little weak, and she saw Chen's mother nodding reluctantly.
"Mother, it's time for us to go." Chen Mo began to pack his bags and put his money bag on his back, although the money was useless at the moment, he believed that it would be used one day.
Mother Chen looked at Aunt Cai when she heard this, sighed, nodded and said, "Someone just came over to interrogate, and your Uncle Yang also came." ”
"Him?" Dumb snorted a little indignantly: "Villain." ”
Yang Mao and Li Jiu were valued and co-opted by the high-level of the Taiping Sect because of their Orion background, and it was also after they left that the villagers had no protection before they had internal strife, at least Dumb thought so, and he didn't help Uncle Yang several times later, so Yang Mao and Li Jiu's senses were naturally very poor.
"If he were a villain, we would have died a long time ago, and Uncle Yang would be protecting everyone." Chen Mo shook his head, came out with his bags on his back, picked up the sunspot again, and helped his mother to stand up: "What did Uncle Yang say?" ”
"There is a dead leader, your Uncle Yang tells you to be careful." Mother Chen looked at Aunt Cai, shook her head and said, "Where are you going this time?" ”
"I heard that we are going to attack Quyang, so let's go back." Chen Mo helped his mother and said in a deep voice.
He has never seen a siege, or he has never seen a real war, but it is definitely not easy to siege the city, although Chen Mo himself can't say what is not easy, but the rear is definitely safer than the front, which should be no problem.
"War?" Dumb didn't have any concept of fighting, but Aunt Cai's face changed, and she grabbed Chen Mo and said, "Ergou, what's going on?" ”
"They want to attack the *** body, but I don't know, we are a little further back, and it is always safe." Chen Mo explained in a low voice, in fact, he didn't even know where Qu Yang was.
"Mother, what will happen if there is a war? Why are you trembling? A dumbfounded looked at his mother and asked.
"Listen to your second dog brother, go back." Aunt Cai shook her head and looked at Chen Mo gratefully, she had no man, and she must not have a son again.
"Listen to it, tomorrow the grain will be distributed twenty miles to the east, and those who don't arrive will be hungry, and those who want to eat will go east." When everyone was about to get up, there was a sudden shout of the Taiping Sect in the distance, which was also the way for the Taiping Sect to hurry, using food to lure everyone to go in the direction they predetermined, the Taiping Sect's manpower itself was actually not much, but the food supply had always been in a state of starvation, and everyone could only continue to walk in order to survive.
"To the east?" Chen Mo discerned the direction and looked at his mother and Aunt Cai and said, "We can't stand it by pretending to be hungry for a while, just stay here, and wait for the next wave of people to come, so as to save some physical strength." ”
It can be seen that the other party is not ready to continue to pursue the murder, in fact, in this chaotic scene, the Taiping Sect is obviously in a hurry, so it is impossible to stop and investigate the case, and this matter has not affected the overall situation.
"They...... Don't catch us anymore? Dumb sat down, looked at Chen Mo and asked.
"Probably not, these days have been driving us east, it should be to Quyang." Chen Mo pondered.
"Ergou, why don't we take the opportunity to escape, we got a lot of food today, enough for us to go back to the next phase." Aunt Cai looked at Chen Mo expectantly.
"Well, it depends." Chen Mo nodded, he didn't want to follow this Taiping Sect, but he felt that things were not as simple as they thought......
