Chapter 48 The Heart
The surroundings were very chaotic, and there weren't even any decent guards. Chen Mo and Dui walked out of the tent in a grand manner.
Naturally, Dumb couldn't be as calm as Chen Mo, and followed Chen Mo around like a thief. The environment here was also messy, and no one paid attention to them. Otherwise, if they were like this in the county town, they might be arrested directly.
"Come with me to my mother's place. I'll take care of you." Looking at Aunt Cai who was devouring dry hard bread, Chen Mo hesitated for a moment and then sent out the invitation.
After everyone broke up unhappy before, they had little contact and rejoined their respective groups. Dumb and Aunt Cai were orphans and widowed. No one wanted to take them in. Looking at Aunt Cai, even though Chen Mo had become more mature these days.
He is hard-hearted, but he still can't bear it. When the two families are together, they have someone to take care of them.
Dui didn't say anything, silently watching his mother eating noodles, and pulled Chen Mo. After the two left some distance, Dui looked at Chen Mo and said: "Brother Ergou, Da Lang said that the person who distributes food over there is also dead.
I killed one, was it you?"
"Yeah." Chen Mo sat down, took out a piece of bread from his backpack and said, "Eat quickly, we'll be leaving soon."
The Taiping Sect has gathered so many people, so naturally it is impossible for them all to come together. Everyone is separated, but not strictly. Chen Mo was with his mother on the other side a few days ago. He was so hungry that he finally killed people and took away the food.
, then he touched this side and continued to mess around.
Just like what my mother said, the management of the Taiping Religion is very chaotic. People escape every day and no one takes care of them. If something like this happens, as long as you don't get caught on the spot and escape to another camp, everything will be fine soon.
"Brother Ergou, can you...not kill people?" Dui looked at Chen Mo. Chen Mo at this moment seemed a little strange to him.
"This is a cannibalistic world. We are all orphans and widowed. No one cares whether we live or die. If you don't fight and rob, you will starve to death." After Chen Mo was silent for a while, he looked at Dumb seriously and said: "
Dumb, we are from the same village. I want to help you, but in this situation, I can’t help you every time. Follow me and we brothers will protect my mother and your mother, and there is still a chance of survival.
Starve to death or follow me, it's your choice."
His eyes were cold, and Dui looked a little scared, especially when he thought about the previous scene where Chen Mo did not hesitate to attack someone who was much older than them, and even killed the opponent ruthlessly, and he became even more afraid of Chen Mo.
a bit.
Although Chen Mo had killed people in the past, he was forced to kill people at that time, but now he kills people on his own initiative, which makes Ah-Dai a little hard to accept.
"I'm going to leave soon. I can't stay here. You have to figure it out yourself." Seeing Duan's hesitation, Chen Mo stood up and walked towards his mother. He had just killed someone, and he was still the person in charge of food in the Taiping Sect.
People from the Taiping Sect will definitely investigate. We can no longer stay here. We have to move to another place and wait until the storm has passed in two days.
He needs help, but if he doesn't have the courage, it will be a burden to carry him.
"Brother Ergou, wait for me, I'll take my mother!" Seeing Chen Mo leave, Ah-Dai suddenly panicked. The scenes of hunger these days kept reappearing in his mind. Although killing people for food is a bit hard to accept, but these days
, when their mother and son were about to starve to death, who had pity on them? Without Chen Mo, they might still starve to death.
Chen Mo looked back at Dumb who was helping Aunt Cai out, nodded to Aunt Cai, said nothing, and went straight back to his mother.
"Woof woof~" Heizi saw Chen Mo coming back, wagging his tail excitedly.
"Sister-in-law from the Cai family?" Mother Chen was a little surprised when she saw Aunt Cai. They had not been together for a long time since they broke up on bad terms a month ago.
Aunt Cai was still a little weak, so she nodded reluctantly when she saw Mother Chen.
"Mom, it's time for us to leave." Chen Mo began to pack his bags and put his money bag on his back. Although the money was of no use at the moment, he believed that it would be used one day.
After hearing this, Mother Chen looked at Aunt Cai, sighed, nodded and said, "Someone just came over to question me, and your Uncle Yang came over too."
"He?" Ah-Dai snorted a little indignantly and said, "Villain."
Yang Mao and Li Jiu were valued by the Taiping Religion leaders because of their Orion origins. It was only after they left that the villagers had no protection and internal strife broke out. At least that's what Ah-Dai thought. In addition, Uncle Yang was not found several times after that.
Help him. For Yang Mao, Li Jiu's senses are naturally very poor.
"If he was a villain, we would have died a long time ago. Uncle Yang and the others are protecting everyone." Chen Mo shook his head, carried his luggage and came out, picked up Heizi again, and helped his mother stand up: "What did Uncle Yang say?"
"A leader has died. Uncle Yang told you to be careful." Mother Chen looked at Aunt Cai, shook her head and said, "Where are you going this time?"
"I heard that Quyang is going to be attacked, let's go back." Chen Mo said in a deep voice while supporting his mother.
He has never seen a city siege, or he has never seen a real war, but it is definitely not easy to siege a city. Although Chen Mo himself can't say what is difficult about it, there should be no problem in that the rear is definitely safer than the front.
"War?" Dui had no idea about fighting, but Aunt Cai's expression changed. She grabbed Chen Mo and said, "Er Gou, what's going on?"
"They want to attack Qu Yang's body, but I don't know. It's always safer if we stay back." Chen Mo explained in a low voice. In fact, he didn't even know where Qu Yang was.
"Mom, what will happen in the war? Why are you shaking?" Duan looked at his mother puzzled and asked.
"Listen to your brother Ergou and go back." Aunt Cai shook her head and looked at Chen Mo gratefully. She already lost her man and could never lose her son again.
"Listen up, tomorrow the food will be distributed twenty miles to the east. Those who haven't arrived will be hungry. If you want to eat, just go east." Just as everyone was about to get up, the Taiping cultists suddenly heard shouts in the distance.
Sound, this is also the Taiping Sect's way of rushing, using food to lure everyone to go in their intended direction. The Taiping Sect actually doesn't have many people, but the supply of food has always been just about to keep people from starving to death.
The only way to survive is to keep walking.
"To the east?" Chen Mo looked at the direction and looked at his mother. Aunt Cai said, "We will pretend to be hungry and can't stand it for a while. We can just stay here and save some energy when the next wave of people comes."
It can be seen that the other party is not prepared to continue pursuing the murder. In fact, in this chaotic scene, the Taiping Sect is obviously in a hurry to get on, so it is impossible to stop to investigate the case, and this incident has not affected it.
The extent of the overall situation.
"They...won't arrest us?" Dui sat down and looked at Chen Mo and asked.
"Probably not. They have been driving us eastward these past few days, probably to Quyang." Chen Mo thought.
"Er Gou, why don't we take the opportunity to escape? We got a lot of food today, enough for us to return to Xiaxiang." Aunt Cai looked at Chen Mo expectantly.
