Great Zhou, April 15 of the first year of Xuanwu, in the middle of the night.

Outside the easternmost Erjin house in Mengjiazhuang, a group of people knocked on the black lacquered door of Meng Qingze's Meng Xiucai's house.

After a while, the courtyard where the Meng family entered the courtyard for the second time came from the whispered call of the family's servants, "Uncle, it's the third master of the clan who is here, saying that there are 100,000 urgent matters, and I want to see you now." ”

"Invite him in." A clear male voice came from the room, and some of the sleepy little maids couldn't help but secretly complain about the third cousin of their master, who disturbed his dreams in the middle of the night, and didn't know what he was anxious about.

While muttering secretly in his heart, the little servant went to the front to pass the word to the old servant who was guarding the door.

"Why are you up too? I'll just go there alone. Inside the main landlord's house in the second courtyard, Meng Qingze's voice sounded low.

"I'm panicking so much, it's the middle of the night, shouldn't it be..."

Meng Qingze's face couldn't help but become solemn when his wife said it, "Then you go to Westinghouse to guard the two children, if there is really anything wrong..."

Halfway through speaking, seeing his wife's pretty face, Meng Qingze hurriedly swallowed back the unfinished words.

He patted his wife Wu Shi on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I will always protect your mothers and sons." ”

Wu's heart is slightly settled.

Yes, hasn't her husband always protected her and her two children in the past years? What is there for her to be afraid of?

Thinking so, Wu tied up his coat and went to Westinghouse to take care of his children.

"Mother." The girl who got up earlier than her parents wore a neat skit, a dagger in her boots, a sword in her right hand, and a posture ready to fight desperately.

Wu Shi was distressed and helpless, she looked at Meng Hao, "You kid, why did you bring this sword and sword with you in the middle of the night." ”

Meng Hao walked around her mother neatly and walked to her father outside the house, "I'll protect my father." ”

Wu Shi stretched out his hand to stop her, but Meng Hao moved several times faster than her.

In a blink of an eye, the father and daughter had already walked to the moon gate at the junction of the second courtyard and the first courtyard, Meng Zhen was about to take a few quick steps to catch up with his father, but Meng Qingze, who was walking in front, had a big change in face.

He quickly turned around, pulled Meng Hao and ran in the direction where his wife and son were.

Meng Hao ran away with her father and turned her head to look in the direction of the shadow wall.

Just now, just a moment before her father suddenly turned around, Meng Hao heard a scream from her father's little guy.

The sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger, and Meng Hao began to think about how his family could get out safely under the premise of having an inner ghost.

"Zhen Zhen, Ah Qi will be handed over to you, you must take him to the county seat safely."

Before Meng Zhen could come up with a safe way, her four-year-old brother Meng Qi had already been stuffed into her arms by her father.

Meng Zhen raised her head, "Dad..."

"Don't say anything, it's too late, and besides, there are too many of them." Meng Qingze's smile was obviously still so gentle and a little comfortable, but Meng Zhen's eyes instantly turned red.

"Good boy, listen to your father. Your brother will be handed over to you later. ”

From the half-open window, Wu Shi could already see the brightly lit front yard of his house, all of which had been brought back from the war, and Wu Shi almost immediately realized that the situation was not good.

As she spoke, she took a bag of silver and stuffed it to Meng Zhen, but she didn't dare to take more, first, the time was pressing, and second, it was not suitable to bring too many things when she was fleeing for her life, it would slow down the speed.

With red eyes, the couple pushed Meng Hao out of the back window.

"If they are so fearless, there must be someone guarding outside. Don't go through the back door, don't climb the wall, and sneak out through that dog hole next to the persimmon tree. ”

Meng Qingze looked at a pair of children with reluctance and distress in his eyes, and Wu Shi was already crying breathlessly, but both of them kept their voices very low and very low, because they were afraid that Meng Qi would be woken up and would cry regardless of the occasion.

Meng Hao had already heard the footsteps of those gangsters, they had already killed the Meng family servants in the front yard, and at this time, Meng Qingze's distant cousin was rushing towards the backyard.

She didn't delay any longer, but simply kowtowed to Meng Qingze and Wu Shi three times, "My daughter must protect her younger brother." ”

Meng Qingze and Wu Shi laughed with tears, and the two took one last look at their own pair of children, and then Meng Qingze closed the back window.

He pulled Wu Shi, took the two oil lamps in the house, and began to pour oil and set fires.

Although Wu Shi was afraid, he still shook his hands and feet and smashed all the wine jars that Meng Qingze was the most precious person in.

The wine was stained with flames, and the curtains, bedding, tables and chairs, papers, and books in the house were soon burned.

The raging fire reflected the red windows, and the people outside were afraid that they would suffer with them, and the doors were slammed open, but none of them dared to raise their feet to come in.

Meng Qingze hugged the Wu family, and the two stood quietly in the middle of the room, listening to Meng San's angry scolding outside.

Meng San knew that Meng Qingze must have put all the most valuable things in the closest place to him.

Because only in this way can Meng Qingze pack up the most valuable things as soon as the accident comes.

He jumped to his feet and shouted for the displaced people he brought to bang on the door to put out the fire, but those displaced people had already turned their eyes to the west wing, where a large amount of rice and grain was stored.

If there is no fire in the main house, there will be no danger to their lives if they go in, then these homeless people will definitely go in and fish in troubled waters and get some gold, silver and jewelry to be around.

But now that the fire is burning like this, they are not stupid, so they don't go in and die in vain, they haven't lived enough.

They had been hungry for a long, long time, and they were more concerned about the food in the West Wing than the deeds, title deeds, gold, silver and jewels that would not fall into their hands if they did not eat or drink properly, and most importantly, would not fall into their hands.

Besides, this Mengjiazhuang is not only home to the two families of Meng Qingze and Meng San, if they don't want to make a big deal, they must quickly move the food and leave before others are alarmed.

After all, they are not real mountain bandits, and they still want to find a place to settle down and live a normal life in the future.

So no matter how Meng San shouted, these homeless people always went their own way.

They rushed up, grabbed the grain in the west wing, and ran.

Meng San was so angry that he was dizzy.

Before, they clearly said that they would kill all of Meng Qingze's family, but now these homeless people only care about moving food, and they don't care about the life or death of his "internal response", how can Meng San not be angry and angry?

You must know that if someone in Meng Qingze's family escapes, his fate will never be good.

While secretly scolding these homeless people for not being things, Meng San walked quickly to the back door - he had to make sure that anyone from Meng Qingze's family had escaped.
