Chapter 03: Night Attack on the Town

A horse-drawn carriage left the official road of the mountain village, and the snow on the ground had melted.

The official roads in remote areas are beautiful and rugged, and they are very bumpy.

Lu's health is not good, Yang Qiaoyue let the carriage slow down, and she was not in a hurry to arrive a few days late, so she could finally rush to the county seat during the Chinese New Year.

Yang Muzhong hurried so quickly because he saw the homeless people on the side of the road casting hungry eyes from time to time, staring at their carriage, revealing ferocity.

It was getting dark, the trip slowed down, and it took me a day to get to the town.

"Fourth aunt, seventh sister, we are going to settle in the town tonight." Yang Muzhong pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped.

Lu Shi coughed lightly a few times and nodded, Yang Qiaoyue casually lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw that the roadside was full of homeless people who braved the cold wind to leave the town.

In the winter, I only wore a few tattered thin shirts, and my lips were purple from the cold.

Yang Qiaoyue put down the curtain and sighed secretly, although she knew that the famine year was not easy, she didn't expect it to be so tragic.

"Fourth brother, find a stable place to settle down, there are homeless people everywhere, and the town is afraid that there will be chaos."

Yang Muzhong hummed softly, secretly admiring his sister in his heart, and when he went out, he also wanted to pull two truckloads of goods to the county seat.

Or did she decide to leave lightly, taking only silver taels and dry rations, and renting an old carriage, otherwise the homeless people along the way would definitely not be able to bear them.

He drove the carriage to the post station first, but the town's post station was smashed and no one was there.

Several tall and thin homeless people stared at them, Yang Muzhong frowned, his face was gloomy, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Yang Muzhong watched the night get darker, and if he didn't find a place to stay, he was afraid that those homeless people would lose their minds and besiege them.

"Sister, the people at the inn have run away, and the whole town is filled with a ghostly atmosphere."

Lu Shi's face was nervous, and he blamed her husband in her heart, knowing that the homeless people were fleeing around, but she let them go on the road alone.

Yang Qiaoyue's eyes were indifferent, and she was not surprised by the situation in front of her, so she asked Yang Muzhong to leave the post station and go to a place where there were people to see if she could stay overnight.

I asked a few of them, but they either didn't open the door or refused outright.

After eating the closed-door soup, Yang Muzhong held his breath.

Suddenly, a white-bearded old man next to him beckoned to them, and Yang Qiaoyue noticed that it was the medical hall in the town.

Yang Muzhong hurriedly ran over and chatted a few words, but the other party was willing to let them stay for one night, and it was indeed the benevolence of the doctor.

The carriage entered the infirmary, and the displaced people who followed it dispersed.

Yang Qiaoyue and Lu Shi got out of the carriage and blessed the doctor, thanking him for his help.

During the chat, I knew that the doctor's surname was Mu, and according to his words, Yang Mu was his own family, so he didn't have to be polite.

In addition to Dr. Mu, there is also a girl as old as Yang Qiaoyue, named Mu Enen, who is his granddaughter, and the grandfather and grandson depend on each other.

Yang Qiaoyue is used to being cautious in her two lives, and although she is grateful in her heart, she still keeps an eye on it.

Eat only dry food and water that you bring with you. Let the Lu family rest early, and she and Yang Muzhong took turns to guard.

"Sister, do you suspect that they have bad intentions?"

Yang Qiaoyue shook her head: "No, it's always right to be careful." Fourth brother, you can rest quickly, you have to hurry tomorrow. ”

Yang Muzhong originally wanted him to guard it, but when he thought that he would have to catch the carriage tomorrow, he didn't force it and went to the carriage to rest.

It was night, the cold wind was howling, and the wooden sign in front of the door was blown to a loud sound.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by a commotion, and there was a knock on the door of the medical hall: "Open the door quickly, or we will break in!" ”

Doctor Mu hurriedly opened the door, and saw a few deliberately dressed people in front of the door, with a worried face: "Uncle, I don't know what's going on?" ”

The middle-aged man led by the middle-aged man brutally pushed Doctor Mu away and swept around the inner room: "Is there a little boy in a fox fur who broke in!" ”

Doctor Mu originally thought that he was looking for him to take in the three of them today, but when he heard that he was looking for the little boy, he hurriedly shook his head: "Uncle Hui, I didn't see it." ”

Yang Qiaoyue heard the movement outside the door in the side courtyard, and her face was vigilant, this group of people pretended to be homeless, and they were full of anger when they spoke, they were definitely not homeless.

These people didn't pay attention to Dr. Mu's words, and directly broke into the yard and searched everywhere, even in the backyard.

The backyard is a place for women to stay, and Mu Eunen wears a velvet coat to worry about his grandfather's situation and stays in the yard.

Several people suddenly broke into the backyard and saw Mu Enen, although he was not very old, his face was delicate, and his doctor's temperament was very eye-catching.

The man's gaze immediately stopped on Mu Eun, and when she saw the man enter the backyard, she quickly wanted to retreat to the room.

Unexpectedly, the other party was like a hooligan, with an undisguised frivolity in his eyes: "Take her away." ”

When Dr. Mu heard that if his granddaughter left with them, how could she come back, and even if she could come back, she would be slandered.

immediately rushed forward and protected his granddaughter behind him, "Uncle, we really didn't see the little boy you were looking for, this is my granddaughter, please let us go." We still have a dozen taels of silver ....... ”

As he spoke, he took the money from his arms, and the other party sank, threw the money directly on the ground, pushed Dr. Mu to the ground, and slammed his forehead on the stairs.

"What do you think of Lao Tzu, send it to Hanako. Taking her away is to give her glory and wealth, and she doesn't know what to do. ”

Thinking of offering this sprout to the master, the reward you can get is not a matter of a few dozen taels. They chased the boy and took the girl just in time.

Ignoring Dr. Mu's roar, the evil claws reached out to Mu Eun, who was already frightened and wanted to die.

Yang Qiaoyue in the side courtyard frowned, the other party helped them, and they couldn't watch it.

"Fourth brother, let's help their grandchildren!"

Hearing Yang Qiaoyue's words, Yang Muzhong couldn't suppress his anger for a long time and rushed out directly.

When he was in the Jingshi Mansion, he studied literature and martial arts at Yuejing Academy, and he was born with great strength, and generally several people couldn't get close to him, blocking in front of Mu Enen.

Seeing that someone was meddling, several "homeless people" immediately turned ruthless and besieged Yang Muzhong together.

Yang Qiaoyue looked at it, these people actually knew some kung fu, and they were not weak, and the fourth brother was not an opponent.

The old man at the head freed his hand and continued to walk towards Mu Enen, this is something he is guilty of, how can he let it go.

Mu Eun looked desperate, and there was no way to break free.

Yang Qiaoyue took off the hairpin, her hair was scattered, the sharp hairpin was shining, and she walked out without hesitation.

Her appearance is even more amazing than that of Mu Eun, with rosy cheeks and skin that can be broken by blowing, which is extremely rare.

The man at the head stared, if he gave both of them to the master, not only would he not blame the little boy for losing it, but maybe he would also have a reward.

The two little girls, he didn't pay attention to them at all, stretched out his big hand, and wanted to catch Yang Qiaoyue.

Yang Qiaoyue held the hairpin tightly in her hand, which was her special self-defense weapon.

Taking advantage of the night, the other party's carelessness, her eyes were fierce, this kind of scum should be damned.

Using all his strength, the sharp hairpin slashed at the outstretched claws, blood splattered, and a miserable scream sounded in the dark night.

A deep wound was cut from the palm of the other party's hand to the artery, and Yang Qiaoyue's white velvet coat was also splashed with a few drops of bright red, and her face was still indifferent.

The ruthlessness in his eyes made him a little stunned even when he saw it, and he threw down Mu Enen in pain.

In the dark corner of the wallyard, a black shadow flickered, looking at the petite figure in the distance in surprise, but he didn't expect that there was such a ruthless person in the boudoir.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the courtyard, this figure quietly went to the side courtyard.
