Snowflakes are flying in the sky. If it were snowing at this time in previous years, everyone would be very happy. They even hope that the bigger the snow, the better, and the crops will grow particularly well next year. But for the people who are coerced by the Taiping Religion, this

Snow is a disaster.

When he woke up early in the morning, Chen Mo found that everyone's luck had dropped a bit, and it would drop again every once in a while.

"Brother Mo, it's snowing!" Dumb smiled a little heartlessly. In previous years, snow was the happiest time for children. He obviously didn't realize that this winter, there would be no houses to shelter them from the wind.

, there are no beds to keep them warm, plus they are hungry and full, most people’s bodies are not resistant to freezing.

Naturally, Mother Chen and Aunt Cai also understood this truth. They looked at the falling snow with worried faces and felt at a loss.

Chen Mo was actually at a loss, but looking at the absent-minded expression on his mother's face, he kept encouraging himself in his heart. As the only man in the Chen family, if his mother was messy, he couldn't mess up, otherwise the family would be over.

"Mom, you and Aunt Cai are preparing food. Ah-Dai and I will go around to see if there is anyone giving out food, and also inquire about the news." Chen Mo looked at his mother and said.

We must find a place to stay as soon as possible, otherwise we will freeze to death in the ice and snow.

"Mo'er, be careful." Mother Chen nodded, trying hard to maintain a smile, not wanting her son to worry too much.

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, then took out the short knife that Zheng Tu gave him from his arms and handed it to his mother: "Mother, keep this knife. If anyone comes to cause trouble..."

After hesitating for a while, Chen Mo didn't say killing, but Chen Mo obviously understood what Chen Mo meant, and nodded seriously and said: "Don't worry Mo'er, mother knows what to do."

Chen Mo didn't say anything more. He took Ah-Dai out to get some food and also wanted to find out some news. The world around them was very strange to the two people who left Xia Qiu for the first time. Without Uncle Yang, Uncle Li often

The people running outside led the way. Chen Mo and Duan didn't even know where they were currently.

Snowflakes floated down one after another and fell on the face, and the cold feeling continued to spread around.

"Brother Mo, where are we going?" Ah-Dai followed Chen Mo, looking blankly at the snow curtain around him. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't see things two or three feet away clearly.

"Looking for something to eat." Chen Mo looked around, then suddenly turned to look at Dumb and said, "Why did you call me Brother Mo today?"

Chen Mo basically didn't want to argue with anyone about names, and Ergou was used to hearing them. Today, Dui's call made him a little uncomfortable.

"I don't know either." Ah-Dai scratched his head and said, "My mother asked me to scream like that, and she also asked me to listen to you more."

I've never seen anyone change their words before?

Chen Mo was a little confused, but didn't say much. It was fine to call him this way. Although it was a little awkward for the moment, it felt different from other people.

A sporadic crowd gathered together. They were the people who had not left with the large army yesterday. Most of them were old, weak, women and children. Chen Mo and Ah Dai saw an old man who had died of starvation in a simple shed. His legs had been chopped off, but

Not much blood was shed.

Dumb's eyes were a little red, and he was also a little scared, not because he saw dead people, but because he was worried about whether they would starve to death one day.

"Let's go." Chen Mo sighed. The old man was so hungry that he could only have so much left. Generally speaking, if a younger woman or child starved to death, it would be really miserable. It would be nothing for a starving crowd to attack the dead.

Strange things.

"Two...Brother Mo, do you think we will end up like this? A few days ago, I saw someone cooking a baby to eat..." Ah-Dai was a little depressed, with a strong sense of worry in his voice.

"Who knows what will happen tomorrow? All we have to do is live a good life today and leave the rest to God." Chen Mo raised his eyes and looked at the gloomy sky, feeling a little heavy in his heart. He didn't know what to do with this snow.

How long has it been snowing? It seems that God is not on their side. When this snow comes, I don’t know how many people will freeze to death.

Dui didn't say anything anymore, and followed Chen Mo to another place where there were people. There were about a dozen women and old people sitting together, each with a haggard appearance and sunken eye sockets. When they saw someone coming, two of the women started to take off their clothes...

"What is this aunt doing?" Duan looked at the two women in confusion.

"I don't know." Chen Mo was also a little confused. He shook his head and found an old man who was in relatively good spirits to sit down and said, "Ah, where are you from?"

"Xia Qiu." The old man glanced at Chen Mo with his cloudy eyes, then lowered his head to fiddle with the extinguished bonfire. There was a simple tent built with felt cloth above his head, but there was no cover on all sides.

"Mr. Liu?" Chen Mo suddenly frowned and looked at this familiar old man, but he was not the old liar he met in Xia Qiu.

"You are..." Mr. Liu looked at Chen Mo blankly, without any impression.

"Hey, when I went to Xia Qiu to sell grain, I almost got killed by you!" Chen Mo grabbed Mr. Liu's collar.

"I have sold countless people in my life, who are you?" Mr. Liu gave Chen Mo a numb look, simply closed his eyes and let him beat him.

Chen Mo really wanted to take action, but looking at Mr. Liu's current state, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the snow. Finally, he lowered his raised fist silently, sat next to Mr. Liu and frowned: "You live in the city, how can you be like me?"

Waiting for normal?"

"In the city?" Mr. Liu sneered, shook his head and said, "Before the Taiping Sect people arrived, all the Xiaqiu Ling and Xiaqiu county lieutenants had already fled, leaving only an empty city. The Taiping Sect thieves could easily attack them.

, those gangs of thieves started burning, killing and looting as soon as they came in. What can I do if I don’t escape with you? Do you still want me to go into battle and kill the enemy? "

"Is it so easy to attack a city?" Chen Mo's eyes widened in surprise.

"If you want to fight, then fight. Where is all this nonsense? If you beat him to death, it will be fine." Mr. Liu looked at Chen Mo impatiently and said.

"What's the use of beating you to death?" Chen Mo frowned and let go of his hand. He looked around at a group of old people and women and said, "Are these also from Xiaqiu?"

"Some are, some are not. After escaping from the city, the younger ones all followed the Taiping Cult, leaving only the old, weak, women and children, gathering and scattering. I have experienced a lot in these days, and I don't know a lot of them.

We know each other, let's get together now and see who can die first, so that the others can survive for a few more days." Seeing that Chen Mo didn't hit him, Mr. Liu didn't bother to ask why.

"Brother Mo..." Dumb pulled Chen Mo's sleeve and pointed to the broken cauldron beside him.

Chen Mo turned his head and looked around, and saw a lot of bones around the broken cauldron... Chen Mo took a deep breath and stopped looking at them. He had seen a lot of this kind of thing in the past few days, so he was no longer surprised.

"Is there any city nearby that is willing to accept refugees?" Chen Mo looked at Mr. Liu and asked.

"Xiaqiu is broken, Ling County, and Hong County are also broken. I'm not sure about the situation. Yesterday I met the refugees who came from Siwu. I think it's broken. Going further, if you can get to Xiapi, maybe you can. There

It's the county government." Mr. Liu said with his eyes closed.

"How far is Xiapi from here?" Chen Mo asked unwillingly.

"It's more than two hundred miles away. If you have enough food, you can try it." Mr. Liu said with a teasing smile.

Chen Mo frowned and stood up, trying to leave with Dumb, but his clothes were grabbed by someone. He turned around and saw a woman.

"Aunt, what's the matter?" Chen Mo looked at the woman and asked.

"Xiao Lang, is there anything to eat?" The woman looked at Chen Mo. Most of her clothes had been taken off, but her skin was rough and dirty, and her original color could no longer be seen. There was a strong desire in the woman's eyes: "

Give me a little, and I will listen to you in everything. This body will definitely be able to serve you well..."

"No...no..." Chen Mo pulled Ah-Dai and ran away. How to serve him, Chen Mo had also seen these days. Along the way, he also understood a little about the affairs between men and women, and sometimes he would have inexplicable longings, but this kind of
Chapter completed!
