Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Breakdown of the State
On the second day, Mu Chenghu was not in a hurry to let the big guy hurry, firstly, because there were more wounded and it was not advisable to rush too quickly, and secondly, because yesterday's team could solve a lot of problems for everyone in front, so everyone was not in a hurry at this time.
Because everyone was not in a hurry, Liu Fu and Mu Yao seized the rest time and asked how Mu Chenghu dodged the hoe that day.
Mu Chenghu said with some fear, "At that time, I thought I was finished, but at the last moment, Han Shi came out of nowhere and put a burning stick on the robber's crotch, and the robber was in pain, and the hoe was off." In this way, he picked up a life. ”
After hearing this, the mother and daughter were very happy, if it weren't for Han's burning stick, maybe their family of three would have been separated by yin and yang at this time.
Mu Chenghu and his entourage walked slowly for a few days, and the wounded in the team improved one after another.
Mu Chenghu felt relieved, but at the same time anxious about the problem of food and herbs.
There is still a lot of grain in Yanjia Village, but at this time, how can the people of Yanjia Village sell food to their own group of people, even if everyone has lived and died together, and it is impossible for people on their side to rob it.
The herbs have been used almost because of the last time, and I don't know where to add them for a while.
Mu Chenghu was worried, and the people of Mujia Village gradually discovered these problems, and for a while, the people in Mujia Village were a little panicked, and it was obviously impossible for all the people in Mujia Village to hide from the people in Yanjia Village, so now the people of Yanjia Village looked at Mu Chenghu and his party with defensive eyes from time to time, after all, they had seen too many people who had lost their conscience due to lack of food along the way.
"Chenghu, let's hurry up, if everyone runs out of food in this place, there is really no way to do it." Mu Qingshan took a bowl of crystal clear porridge and said to Mu Chenghu.
Mu Chenghu nodded after hearing this, and after having breakfast, Mu Chenghu urged everyone to hurry up.
The people of Yanjia Village were obviously a little dissatisfied with Mu Chenghu's decision, after all, they were injured more than the people on Mu Chenghu's side, and they were also seriously injured than the people on this side. It's just that they have no way and ability to resist, so they have to grit their teeth and persevere.
Although Mu Chenghu knew that they were dissatisfied, he didn't take it to heart. After all, they don't think that their group of people don't have food to sell for everyone.
A few days later, Mu Chenghu and his party finally saw the village, and this discovery made Mu Chenghu and his party jump for joy.
The people of Yanjia Village breathed a sigh of relief, first, they didn't have to rush desperately, and second, they finally didn't have to worry about Mu Chenghu and his group robbing their group.
If Mu Chenghu knew that the people of Yanjia Village thought of his group of people like this, he would definitely part ways without saying a word.
Mu Chenghu found a place not far from the village to set up camp, mainly to facilitate the news.
"Mu Laodi! What's next for you? "The old village chief has come to look for Chenghu for the first time since the last incident!
Mu Chenghu remembered that the people of Yanjia Village were wary of his group during this time, if there was no handwriting from the old village chief, no one would believe it, whether they believed in their own group or not, just find an opportunity for everyone to go separately.
"I'm going to go to the front village to find out the news, does Brother Yan want to go with me?" Mu Chenghu's heart turned a thousand times, but his face was not obvious.
"Of course I'm going to have a look." I guess I was afraid that Mu Chenghu would hear any useful news and not tell him!
When Mu Chenghu and the old village chief approached the village, they found that the atmosphere was a little unusual.
Many families in the village were hurriedly packing their bags and preparing to leave.
Mu Chenghu observed for a long time, so he had to find an old man who seemed to be relatively idle to inquire about the news.
"Old man, what's going on, why are you all packing." Mu Chenghu asked a little anxiously.
The old man said impatiently, "Go, go, go, don't bother me, don't you see that I'm busy?" Really. ”
Seeing this, Mu Chenghu had to bend down, and while packing the old man's luggage, he asked, "Old man, just tell me what's the matter, right?" The people of our village fled all the way from the north and knew everything.
The old man had Mu Chenghu's help to clean up his things much faster, so he said with rare kindness, "The monarch has been killed, all countries have come in, and Zheng Guo has been destroyed." The city was slaughtered, and many of the nearby villages were destroyed. Little Lao'er knows so much, and our village is also busy running for his life at this moment! Let's go, too! ”
Mu Chenghu was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and the old village chief couldn't accept the news and fainted.
Half-eaten Mu Chenghu reacted, hurriedly thanked the old man, picked up the old village chief and stumbled all the way back to the camp.
Everyone found that Mu Chenghu ran back with the old village chief on his back, and immediately surrounded him.
After Mu Chenghu handed over the old village chief to Mu Qingliu, he immediately asked everyone to pull out the camp and go deep into the mountains.
The people of Mujia Village have always been accustomed to obeying Mu Chenghu's orders and starting to pull out the camp without saying a word, but the people in Yanjia Village hesitated.
Fortunately, the old village chief woke up in time.
"Everyone listen to Brother Mu, hurry up and pack up your things and leave here." The old village chief said weakly.
At night, Mu Chenghu did not let everyone stop to rest, but asked everyone to continue with torches.
Along the way, the people of Yanjia Village complained constantly, but the people of Mujia Village knew that they were in a hurry, after all, this was not the first time that the big guys had rushed to the night road.
Late at night, a young man in Yanjia Village finally couldn't stand it! Ran to Village Chief Yan and asked, "What happened to the village chief?" Why did we have to travel overnight. ”
The old village chief said a little angrily, "Just hurry, ask so much, what are you doing?" I'll explain when I stop, don't slow down everyone's process. ”
When the young man heard this, he reluctantly continued on his way.
At noon the next day, when the group took out dry food to replenish their strength, Mu Chenghu asked the two villages to get together and rest while having a small meeting.
"I know everybody wonders why we're in such a hurry. Next, please listen carefully to what I have to say. ”
Mu Chenghu's words made the originally noisy team immediately quiet down.
"I'm very unfortunate to tell you that Zheng Guo was destroyed, and there will be no Zheng Guo in the future, and now there are slaughtering cities and villages everywhere outside, so we can only flee into this deep mountain." Mu Chenghu said sadly.
After listening to Mu Chenghu's words, everyone didn't react, and Mu Chenghu thought to himself that this group of people wouldn't be stupid!
"This, this, how is that possible? How could Zheng Guo be gone? Mu Chengru could not accept this fact.
Mu Chenghu had to say the matter again.
This time, many people in the team cried, including a few iron-clad men.
Actually, it's not hard to understand. After all, no matter how frequent Zheng Guo's conscription is, no matter how serious the excesses and miscellaneous taxes are, it will not lead to the loss of people's lives, but how can the other countries slaughter cities and villages as soon as they come in, how can they treat Zheng Guo's old people well?
Mu Chenghu and his party were ready to flee to the south for a few days of peace, but now that the country is broken, where should they go? And how do you survive?
