Mu Ergou, who was exploring the road in front, suddenly ran back, and Mu Chenghu immediately asked everyone to stop their journey and keep quiet.

"Village chief, there are a lot of officers and soldiers guarding the intersection in front, and we can't get through." Mu Ergou said breathlessly.

Seeing this, Mu Chenghu hurriedly handed him a tube of salt boiling water.

"Ergou, you give me a detailed account of the previous situation." Mu Chenghu said a little anxiously.

"Village chief, I don't know the details of the distance I am, I just saw the first ten people guarding that place from a distance." Mu Ergou told what he saw.

Seeing that the team stopped, Mu Qingliu, who came forward to inquire about the situation, frowned when he heard Mu Ergou's words, and said, "Could it be that there is really a plague happening, will they come to close the road." ”

As soon as Mu Qingliu's voice fell, everyone immediately panicked.

Mu Chenghu looked at the panicked crowd and said, "Don't panic yet, the top priority is to figure out what's going on." ”

"The third one, that's a good point. So Ergou and I went to explore again. Mu Chengru felt that if he inquired about the news, he was definitely the most suitable among this group of people.

Mu Chenghu raised his head, glanced at his second brother, and nodded.

Mu Ergou reluctantly took Mu Chengru to the intersection just now.

After Mu Chengru left, Han found Mu Chenghu with some anger.

Mu Chenghu looked at Han Shi with a little headache and said, "Mother, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

"Do you know what I'm looking for you?" Han said angrily.

"Mother, the second brother is the most suitable person. If he has a problem going, it will be the same for any of us. Mu Chenghu is very relieved of his second brother.

When Han was about to say something, he heard Yao who came over and said, "Mother, it's impossible for Cheng Ru to be fine, so don't embarrass the third child anymore." ”

Mu Chenghu raised his eyebrows when he heard Yao's words.

After Han and Yao left, Liu Fu looked at Mu Chenghu and whispered, "This second sister-in-law is not simple!" ”

Mu Chenghu asked with some surprise, "Who else is not simple." ”

"Sister-in-law, you won't fail to see it! Every time something embarrassing, she can always resolve it skillfully. Liu Fu looked at Mu Chenghu with some disbelief.

"This is very understandable, my father originally wanted my eldest brother to be the village chief, so naturally he would find a good wife for my eldest brother." Mu Chenghu explained to Liu Wu.

When Liu Wu was about to ask something, Mu Qingshan on the side finally couldn't stand it.

"Chenghu, when is it, can you two be more restrained." Mu Qingliu and Mu Qingyuan nodded approvingly.

"Thirteenth uncle, you misunderstood, the Liu clan is asking me if there is any way to get past the officers and soldiers." Mu Chenghu's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he told a lie.

"Can't we hear this?" Mu Qingshan said angrily.

Mu Qingliu and Mu Qingyuan thought in their hearts, but I believe that you are a ghost.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Liu Wu pointed to the mountains on both sides and said, "I'm just asking Chenghu if we two hundred people can cross the mountain." ”

As soon as Liu Wu's words were finished, Mu Chengru, who came back from inquiring about the situation, replied, "No, the two mountains at the intersection are too small, and our group of people passing from there will definitely alarm the officers and soldiers." ”

"Second brother, what's the situation over there?" As soon as Mu Chenghu saw his second brother coming back, he immediately asked.

"You may not be able to get out. Ergou and I went to several nearby intersections to take a look, and found that several intersections were guarded by officers and soldiers. Mu Chengru told the news of his inquiry.

"Chenghu, what should we do now?" Mu Qingshan said a little anxiously.

"Don't worry, everyone, the most important thing for us now is to find out why the road is closed." Mu Chenghu said calmly.

"I think there's probably a plague somewhere." Mu Qingliu said with some fear.

"Whether there is an outbreak of plague or not, we have to find a way to find out. Only when we have a clear picture of the situation can we decide what to do next. "Mu Chenghu knows the importance of accurate information to everyone.

"But where are we going to find out?" Mu Ergou thought that there were officers and soldiers everywhere, and there was no store in the back of the village in this place, so he asked the question in his heart.

Mu Ergou's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

Suddenly, Mu Chengru opened his mouth and said, "I have a way to get out of the intersection." ”

Mu Chengru's words instantly made everyone see hope.

Mu Chenghu saw that it was getting late, so he said, "Second brother, I'll go with you early tomorrow morning." ”

"No, you have to stay. People are needed here. Mu Chengru immediately objected.

Mu Qingshan and the others also strongly objected to Mu Chenghu going together.

"But it's too dangerous for you to go alone." Mu Chenghu said uneasily.

"Otherwise, let the hammer go with you." Mu Qingyuan looked at Li Tiezhu, who was not far away, and said.

"No, Hammer's character isn't suitable." Mu Chenghu shook his head and denied when he thought of the town.

"I'll go with you! I've got some skills to protect you. Wei Ran, who had been quiet when several people were arguing, spoke.

"Xiao Wei, are you okay?" Mu Qingshan said while looking at Wei Ran.

"Didn't you know what I was doing decades ago?" Wei Ran asked rhetorically.

Mu Qingshan and the three recalled that decades ago, they met a group of bandits on the way to escape the famine, and the older generation in Mujia Village was frightened at that time. As a result, Wei Ran went up alone and defeated more than 20 bandits, and a group of bandits turned around and ran away when they saw this. This is also the reason why several people recognized Wei Ran at a glance.

"With Xiao Wei and Cheng Ru going together, we are relieved." Mu Qingliu said with a smile.

The next day, before leaving, Wei Ran found Mu Chenghu and said, "Uncle, I won't trouble you to take good care of the little master during this time." ”

Mu Chenghu nodded, and when Wei Ran turned around and left, Mu Chenghu turned around and asked Liu Fu and Mu Yao, "Do I seem to be the kind of person who abuses children?" ”

"How do I feel that Uncle Wei is supporting Gu?" Mu Yao's thoughts are obviously not on the same channel as Mu Chenghu.

"You two can't stop a bit." Liu Wu said with some annoyance.

Mu Chenghu's father and daughter saw that Liu Wu was unhappy and immediately shut up.

At noon, Mu Qingshan found Mu Chenghu, who was gnawing on dry food, and said, "Chenghu, you said that if this is really a plague, what should everyone do?" ”

Mu Chenghu put aside the dry food in his hand and said, "It's a big deal, let's find a hill to stay for a while, and wait for the officers and soldiers to leave, and then we will leave." ”

"Then we can't keep the fire unlit!" Mu Qingshan raised new questions.

Mu Chenghu pointed to a mountain not far away and said, "Uncle Thirteen, have you noticed it, the fog on that mountain has not dispersed in the past few days." I reckon the mountain is shrouded in fog all year round. ”

Mu Qingshan patted Mu Chenghu's shoulder and said, "It's still you, kid, who is careful to observe." ”

It was close to the afternoon that Mu Chengru and Wei Ran rushed back from outside.

Mu Chenghu hurriedly handed water and dry food to the two.

Mu Chengru said while eating dry food, "The situation is not optimistic, there is a plague in a small town not far from here. Now all the intersections outside here are guarded by officers and soldiers. I'm afraid we won't be able to get out, and the most fearful thing is that the government is afraid that the government will send troops to search. ”

Everyone panicked when they heard this, and when Mu Chenghu saw this, he immediately arranged for everyone to pack up their things and walk towards the mountain he said in the morning.
