The Reborn Lady is Farming

Chapter 75: confusion

  This scooter was made by my grandfather. I wanted to buy a horse back then, but there was no way. Later, the Mu family’s money was slowly spent, and the scooter was idle.

  Mu Shi later made a wheelbarrow for himself, and put the scooter in the warehouse.

   Mu Yangling didn't know what happened, but Mu Shi looked like he was running for his life, so she had to take out this thing.

   By the time Mu Yangling had packed up his things, Mu Shi had already brought about ten people with torches and walked down the mountain road to Xishan Village to check the situation.

  Liu He asked someone to come and take them to the Liu family compound. The whole village was there, young and old. In the cold night, no one spoke.

Mu Yangling surrounded Shu Wanniang and the two children with a quilt, stuffed Xiao Bowen and Xiulan, and whispered to Ma Liu: "Auntie, you help me take care of my mother, I'll ask What happened to my uncle?"

  Ma Liu looked at the fire in Xishan Village and said in a low voice, "You don't have to go, such a big fire, 80% of the time is the Hu people."

   Mu Yangling was taken aback, "We have troops stationed in Xingzhou Prefecture."

Ma Liu smiled bitterly, "Four years ago, when the Hu people went south, Liuxia Village was set on fire like this, and everyone in the village, old and young, came out alive. At that time, we were lucky in Xishan Village, and the Hu people hadn't reached us yet. There, the soldiers from Xingzhou Prefecture arrived, but Liuxia Village is long gone, and if the Hu people come down, won’t it be our Xishan Village’s turn? I don’t know how many people in the village can survive.”

  Xishan Village and Linshan Village are separated by a mountain. Mu Yangling became anxious and did not know what Mu Shi was doing at this time in Xishan Village.

Ma Liu lived for decades, and explained in a low voice: "Only the villagers in our two villages know about the trail from Xishan Village to Linshan Village. Your father wants to seal that road. If we take the main road, we won’t be able to reach Linshan Village, we will go straight to other villages, we just need to stay in the Liu family compound and wait for the troops from Xingzhou Prefecture.”

   Mu Yangling raised his eyes to look at Chushan, but did not ask: "What if the villagers of Xishan Village betray them?" He just said, "Aren't we going to send someone to inform Xingzhou Prefecture to garrison troops?"

   "How do I notify this?" Ma Liu said, "It takes a day and a half to go from here to Fucheng."

   "We just need to inform the yamen about the news? The yamen will naturally do it when the garrison is notified," Mu Yangling didn't want to sit still like this.

  Ma Liu hesitated for a while and said, "Then I'll go talk to your uncle and see if he agrees or not."

  Although it only takes half a day to get to the county office from here, you need to walk on the main road. If you go to the main road, you may encounter barbarians. Once they encounter barbarians, they will only lose their heads.

  No one wants to let their son do this dangerous thing.

   So Liu Daqian didn't ask Liu He, and refused directly, "Our Linshan Village is in a special location. As long as the road is closed, the chance of our village being discovered is very low."

Mu Yangling's face was angry, "No matter how low the probability is, it is possible. By then, the Hu people will rush over from the avenue, can we just wait for dumplings to be made? Besides, there are many villages along the avenue, even if the county is not notified. Ya, it would be nice to give them a warning. Now they are unaware. Maybe the Hu people rushed into the village and they don't even know that it is only one person who can save one person. Even if we encounter a Hu people, we have hands and feet. The familiarity here, can’t we hide? Four years ago, when the Hu people went south, didn’t we hide in the woods?”

   Mu Yangling watched them bow their heads and said nothing, knowing that they were unwilling to take risks for others, so they threw their sleeves away in anger.

   To save others is to save oneself. There are only a few hundred people in Linshan Village, but most of them are old people and children. There are only a few hundred young people. When encountering brave and experienced Hu people, the whole village can only become a lamb to be slaughtered.

  Linshan Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the other side faces the avenue. Although it may be ignored by the Hu people, once they are discovered, they will either rush through the Hu people's team and rush to the avenue, or they will go into the mountains to hide.

Rush through the Hu people team, it is almost no need to think about it, even if Mu Yangling wants to use this method, other people do not have the courage to enter the mountain forest, such as today's cold snow is deep, young and strong, how many old people and children can stand it live?

   Even if it was for Shu Wanniang and her younger siblings who had just given birth, Mu Yangling would not choose this path.

   Before Mu Yangling could convince Liu He, someone pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "There is fire there, and the stone and the others are back."

   Mu Yangling hurriedly turned back, and someone had already gone to greet him.

  Mu Shi and the others were all covered in blood, and Liu Ting even had a stab wound. Liu He was shocked when he saw this, "Have you met Hu people?"

Mu Shi's face sank like water, "Hu people discovered that trail, we met five people first, and we killed them before we dared to let them come out with us, but there should be people behind us, we can't stay here any longer, You must leave immediately."

   "How is this possible? Only people on both sides of us know about that trail, how could the Hu people know?"

   "Xishan Village has built the house to the foot of the mountain, which is not far from the path."

   When Mu Shi said these words, everyone's suspicious eyes on Ma Liu disappeared. Yes, it is very possible for the Hu people to burn down the house and find that path. It may not be betrayed by people from Xishan Village.

  The villagers of Linshan Village don’t often go to Xishan Village, so they don’t know these things. Even Liu Ting, who often goes to Xishan Village during this time, didn’t notice this.

   But Ma Liu's grandson and grandson and the girl who married from Xishan Village knew that the house in Xishan Village was not built down the mountain.

   Her parents’ family in Xishan Village and those whose daughters married in Xishan Village cried bitterly, “Has no one survived in Xishan Village?”

  Mu Shi and the others did not answer. The Hu people always looted the old and the young. Maybe the woman is still alive, but most of it is better than death.

   "Okay, stop crying, hurry up and pack up, we'll go now." Liu He ordered: "Don't take too many things, it's important to escape."

  Liu He said that, but everyone was reluctant to leave the family business. Some elderly people sat on the ground crying, refusing to leave, and some people wanted to take all the things in the house with them.

   Mu Yangling looked at the chaotic village, and immediately fell down with anger. In this way, I was afraid that before the barbarians came in, Linshan Village would be in chaos first.

   "Father, we can only stay for another quarter of an hour, and we'll leave in two quarters of an hour."

  Mu Shi's face was also ugly. He took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Go take care of your mother, I'll talk to the village chief."

Mu Yangling turned around to find a rope, spread it on the trolley with a quilt, wrapped Shu Wanniang and Bosco Jia beside her, stuffed Bowen and Xiulan in, and covered them with a quilt They tied it up with ropes and fastened everything in their house to the trolley, but the villagers were still in a mess.
