Since escaping from the Valley of the Hungry Wolf, Mu Chenghu and the others are afraid of regeneration, so they have accelerated their southward journey.

Two days later, Mu Chenghu and his entourage arrived near Changle Town, Qingping County, and at noon they were feeding water and grass to livestock. Mu Chengru said to Mu Chenghu, "Third child, this place is only a few hundred or five miles away from my house, I will go back and pack some luggage first, and take your second sister-in-law and them with me." ”

"Second brother, hurry up! I'll talk to you about slowing down in a moment, and you can follow with a little more in the future. Mu Chenghu thought that the situation was urgent now, and it was not realistic for everyone to stop, so he thought of this compromise.

"Third child, you just have to go, there is a place called Eagle's Beak more than twenty miles away from here, which is suitable for camping, and you can only get there today. We meet there tonight. Mu Chengru said with a smile.

"Second brother, is there any sign in that place?"

"There's a mountain in that place that's like an eagle's beak, and you won't be mistaken when you see it." Mu Chengru said affirmatively.

"Second brother, the problem is how can you catch up with us when you come and go, and you have to pack your luggage." Mu Chenggui next to Mu Chenghu asked.

"It's out of the way, there's another shortcut in town to get there, so don't worry, just keep going." Mu Chengru said confidently.

After hearing this, Mu Chenggui said, "Okay, I'll go with you!" Anything on the road can also be taken care of. ”

"Alright! Big brother, if you don't feel at ease, let's go together! Mu Chengru said.

Mu Chengru and Mu Chenggui said goodbye to Han Shi and Zhang, and then walked towards Changle Town.

In the evening, Mu Chenghu's family saw that dinner was almost ready, and Mu Chengru and they hadn't arrived yet, and Mu Chenghu's family couldn't help but worry.

"Third uncle, why don't we pick them up." Mullin said worriedly.

"It's not that I don't want to go, but your second uncle said that they would take the shortcut road in the town, and we don't know which way, how to find it?" Mu Chenghu said with some annoyance.

When Han and Zhang heard Mu Chenghu say this, they were even more anxious.

"Mother, sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry first, if they haven't arrived after a while, I'll take a few people to Changle Town to inquire." Mu Chenghu looked at his anxious wife and sister-in-law and said.

"Mother, third uncle, dad and they have arrived." Just when Mu Chenghu was about to find a few to inquire about the news, Mu Qing outside the camp shouted.

Mu Chenghu's family heard Mu Qing's words and came out of the tent.

After Mu Chengru's family got off the donkey cart, everyone quickly found that Mu Chengru and his party did not look right, especially Yao's red eyes from crying.

Han looked at Mu Chengru and the others, and found that they were all fine, and thought that the two of them had quarreled. He said, "When are you still quarrelling?" ”

After Han finished speaking, he let the people around him disperse.

"Don't leave yet, I still have something to tell you here." Mu Chengru looked at the people who left and said.

"Second child, let's go back to dinner first! Third child, after eating, you call everyone in the village to gather here, and we will talk about things. Mu Chengtian took a look at the camp and found that many people in the village were eating.

After Mu Chenghu finished eating, he found the gong and struck it a few times, telling everyone to gather around the bonfire after eating.

"Village chief, what's the matter?" Mu Chengyu asked.

"I don't have anything to do, it's my second brother who got some news and wants to tell you. Let's be quiet and listen to my second brother's words. Mu Chenghu said.

"I don't know much about this, everyone knows that I only returned to Changle Town at noon today, and the news was heard by my daughter-in-law Yao, and she knows more details. I think it's better for her to tell everyone! Mu Chengru said a little sadly.

Many villagers were a little skeptical when they heard the news that Yao's had heard, Mu Chenghu saw the villagers like this, so he said, "There are more people coming and going from the south to the north in Changle Town, and my second brother is in business, so the news is naturally better-informed, so let's listen to my second sister-in-law's news first!" ”

"A few days ago, my father-in-law got the news that Lingyang City was broken, and Wu Guojun attacked Zheng Guo from the northwest, so he hurried back to Qinghe County to deliver a letter to everyone. Before leaving, my father-in-law told me that if the situation was not good in his absence, I would try to escape with my children and the rest of the neighborhood. After my father-in-law left, I was afraid that something would happen in Qinghe County, so I went around to find out about Qinghe County, and just yesterday I heard from a group of people who fled from Qinghe County that several villages around Mujia Village had been slaughtered. Yao said sadly.

After listening to Yao's words, Mu Yao thought that this time Mujia Village got the news in advance, and all the daughters-in-law in the village went back to their parents' house to send a message, but no one was willing to leave. Several villages around Mujia Village still did not escape the fate of the previous life, and if the Mujia Village had not left overnight in the previous life, I am afraid that many villages would have been slaughtered.

"It's impossible, our village has only arrived here a few days in advance, how can they arrive before us when they set off before us?" Mu Ergou's words interrupted Mu Yao's thoughts.

When the sad people heard Mu Ergou's words, they all felt that Yao's news was inaccurate.

"Alas! You may not know that they are taking the official road from Qinghe County to Qingping County, and they are still riding horses, so they are naturally much faster than everyone. Yao Shi heard Mu Ergou's questioning and said.

"They can afford to ride horses, they should have gotten the news a long time ago, Chen Guojun has already begun to slaughter the village and then leave?" Mu Chengyu raised his doubts.

"Cheng Yu, you are still too young, they may be Zheng Guojun, or they may be those people in the county government who can't leave in advance, and they may not be able to think of people." This time it was Mu Chengyu's own father Mu Qingshan who answered Mu Chengyu's words.

When the people in Mujia Village heard this, they knew that this was probably true, after all, it was no good for people to lie to you.

For a while, the old and young in the camp cried, because Mujia Village except for Li Tiezhu and Wang Tuhu's two families thought that the others were surnamed Mu, so most of the villages were close to the surrounding villages, and some people in Mujia Village had no one left in their mother's family, and there were also some dead seven aunts and eight aunts, and some friends who had been dead for many years.

Mu Chenghu's family was also very sad, although they all knew about it, they were still a little difficult to let go, and they did not escape this catastrophe in the last life.

This night is destined to be an unforgettable night and a sad night for everyone in Mujia Village.
