[Red House] That natural stay

Chapter 45

After using up those materials, Mo Jue and the others planned to leave.There was nothing to tidy up, so I carefully wrapped the few remaining jelly fruits with cloth strips. The cold wind in the morning was particularly cold, and no one in the cave woke up.As soon as the two left, the boy on the other side opened his eyes and looked at them.

Seeing that Mo Jue put away the sled and put it on his back, as if foreshadowing something, he said in a panic and cautiously: "You guys, are you leaving?" There was imperceptible expectation in the words.

Mo Jue could clearly see the emotion in the young man's eyes.Although I don't know why, the other party seems to be special, relying on him?But still nodded, to tell the truth, they really want to leave here.

I saw that the child's eyes were filled with tears in an instant, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.He is obviously not a fragile person, but Mo Jue's words and actions can easily arouse his emotions.And often those who have this ability are considered to be their closest relatives.

Xie Tiao suppressed the emotions gushing out of his heart, and opened his eyes wide, fearing that if he blinked, something that symbolized fragility would fall down.Afraid of being considered a crybaby.These two days are the best days he has ever lived after undergoing tremendous changes. Those who want to attack him have no way of attacking him, so they have to stare at him every day, hoping that there will be a time to place orders.And every time at this time, Mo Jue would glance over those people unintentionally, with a hint of warning.His heart was full of joy.

His mother was crushed under the heavy snow, and his father also left him.In this world, he is the only one left now.It's so hard that there is such a person who cares about him and loves him, is it so difficult that he wants to leave him again?Can't help but feel a little sad.

Mo Jue was waiting, waiting for the boy opposite to speak.Mingming's eyes were full of "don't leave me behind", but he just looked at him stubbornly with those teary eyes.Although it is impossible for them to stay, they can take him away.After a few days of getting along with each other, the boy opposite him has such perseverance and resilience at such a young age, which is obviously a talent that can be created.The system once said that it is impossible for a creature like a human to live alone or move alone, and must have a companion.Therefore, relationships such as friends, family and husband and wife came into being.As for Mo Jue, his soul comes from another world. Even though his body is a 'local', for various reasons, he has no family members, no friends, and he has never considered the relationship between husband and wife.There are people around him who are kind to him, but they seem to have some kind of purpose, which prevents him from being able to communicate wholeheartedly.For all these reasons, he could think of the only relationship that could be established was the superior-subordinate relationship in the federation.Therefore, he has been looking for candidates all along.The appearance of Xie Tiao obviously met the requirements the most.

Therefore, he intends to train the other party well, even if he is not capable enough, but doesn't he still have a system?

After waiting for a while, the boy opposite still didn't speak.Mo Jue couldn't help being a little puzzled, did the other party not want to leave him at all?But the emotion in those eyes was so real.

Xie Tiao was struggling violently in his heart, so why didn't he think about leaving with Mo Jue?But when he suddenly thought of his illness, he hesitated.Contagion was real, and that was why his father died.Therefore, he was afraid that he would pass this disgusting disease to Mo Jue and the others.

Waited and waited, but still did not wait for Xie Tiao to speak.Seeing that the sky is about to be completely bright.Mo Jue couldn't help sighing softly.

"If you're going to stay, take care of yourself," he said.

After the voice fell, the eyes of the boy opposite him suddenly lit up. What does this mean, can he leave together?Seeing that Mo Jue and the two had already started to walk out of the cave, they quickly got up and chased after them.In the end, all the hesitation is not worth a word from the other party.

"Can I leave with you?" There was joy and uncertainty that couldn't be concealed in the words.

"Yes." Mo Jue looked at him and nodded seriously.

"Great, great. Thank you, from now on, my Xie Yu's life will belong to both of you!" As he spoke, he was about to kneel and kowtow.

Xia Rong lifted it up first.

"Your life is his. From now on, you just need to take good care of this young master." Xia Rong pointed to Mo Jue with a smile.

"Yes!"

The figures of the three of them gradually disappeared into the vast expanse.

The movement of the three of them was actually not small, so many people in the cave were awakened.Seeing that the three of them seemed to be planning to leave, they were all secretly observing.

While hesitating whether to leave together, those who think a little further will understand that even if Mo Jue and others leave, they can 'eat meat' as before, but how long will they be able to eat?The stored 'food' will always be eaten one day, and by that time, the remaining people will kill each other, and in the end maybe no one will be able to get out alive.But knowing it is one thing, doing it is another.Getting up and going out together is still uncertain.It is true that there are wolves before and tigers behind, and they will always die in the same mouth.

In the end, apart from Xie Tiao, no one left with him.In fact, if someone really came with him, Mo Jue wouldn't say anything. At best, the well water would not interfere with the river water. He didn't drive the road, so he couldn't let others go after he left, right?

The three of them headed south all the way, and it was windy and snowy along the way. Fortunately, Mo Jue had the blessing of a system map, so they didn't encounter any road closures.

Occasionally, when encountering wild beasts that are not hibernating, they are also carefully avoided, trying not to disturb them.

In this way, stop and go along the way, hungry and full to the realm of Jiangnan.

The goal of entering is a large area of ​​collapsed villages, covered by heavy snow, leaving only a rough outline for people to identify.It was silent and there was no sign of any living beings.A few people stepped forward to inspect it carefully, and it took a long time to collapse, even if there were living people below, they might have lost their life.But sometimes, dying may be luckier than living.

After a short stop, the three left in a hurry.Heading towards the county seat, the destination of this disaster relief is Qingcheng where Liang Shan, governor of the south of the Yangtze River, is located.There is still some distance from the place where the few people are, but this way, we can also see what Liangshan has done since the snow disaster.

By the time they arrived at the county seat, two days had passed.Before they entered the city, they saw a large number of people crowded at the gate of the city, begging and crying, and there was chaos.

Xia Rong frowned and looked at the scene in front of him. Is this the so-called disaster relief measure?Keep the people out?At this moment, there was a loud commotion at the entrance of the city, as if there was a conflict with the soldiers guarding the gate.

Mo Jue and the others looked at each other, and followed the flow of people to squeeze in.Soon, we reached the innermost part.I saw a few soldiers kicking and beating the civilians who fell on the ground, cursing and mercilessly.

"My lord, please don't hit me." Intermittent begging voices came from the ground.

Those soldiers turned a deaf ear to it, and they struck harder, with grinning expressions on their faces.

The surrounding people showed numb expressions, as if they had long been accustomed to the scene in front of them.The three of Mo Jue did not try to stop them, but deeply remembered the appearance of those soldiers.It's not that they don't want to save them, but it's so easy to startle them. Their trip was originally an unannounced visit.However, since it is an unannounced visit, there are naturally ways to go in the dark.

The people who came from other places kept crowding at the gate of the city.But only a few people can get in.

The sky quickly darkened, and the common people huddled together in groups of three or four against the city gate or the city wall, but the cold wind still did not let anyone off.

The three of Mo Jue found a hiding place far from the gate of the city.It was dark and there were no other people around.After discussing for a while, they split up and walked towards the crowd.

Mo Jue saw a woman walking around with a child in her arms, her complexion was sallow, and the child in her arms was also emaciated, maybe she was hungry, and kept crying.Then he stepped forward.

Seeing the young man who suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, the woman looked at him with some vigilance.But the other party didn't make a series of dangerous moves as expected, but carefully looked around, carefully took out a small piece of cake from his arms, stuffed it in his hand, and pointed to the child.The woman's hands trembled and she didn't make a sound, but the vigilance in her eyes didn't decrease but became stronger.

Mo Jue was taken aback for a moment and quickly realized.Pulling the corner of his mouth, he took the piece of cake again, broke off a little bit, put it in his mouth, and passed it over.At this moment, the woman's expression turned slightly pale, and she cast a grateful look at Mo Jue.

Then the two carefully found a corner away from the crowd and sat down. The woman then crushed the small piece of cake and fed it into the mouth of the child in her arms.He put the little bit left over in his arms and kept it, not eating it himself.After the child fell asleep, the two started talking carefully.

"I'm sorry little brother." The woman said apologetically, because of the question just now.

Mo Jue shook his head, saying it was okay.Indeed, if a stranger comes over to give you something to eat for no reason, most people will suspect that the other party has some other purpose.Not to mention when this kind of food is comparable to gold.

"Our brother just came to Min County today, and there is still some food in the house, so there is still a bite to eat. Eldest sister, don't need to feel guilty, I want to ask elder sister for some information." Mo Jue said slowly.

Only then did the woman feel relieved, "Little brother, just ask, as long as the servant knows, he will know everything."

"Why are everyone staying outside the city gate?" Xiumei frowned slightly, puzzled.

"Oh, yes, you just came to Min County today, so naturally you don't know the reason." She sighed, "In this county, all the people living in the original city. At the beginning, people from outside were accepted. , Later, I heard that it was the governor who ordered not to accept any fleeing people except the original people in the city. I heard that the government’s food is not enough, if there are more people, there will be no disaster relief.”

"Then let more and more people gather outside the city, and the government doesn't have any relief?"

"No." The woman shook her head, "That's why everyone wants to squeeze into this city every day. But the soldiers guarding the gate have to accept a certain bribe before letting them go. Who would want to bring money when fleeing? It's too late to escape So it can only be like this day after day.”

Mo Jue fell silent, all of this was in the picture he had imagined.The soldiers guarding the gate are full of fat, how can they look a little bit suffering?It seems that the bureaucrats in the south of the Yangtze River are really united, and they don't take the emperor's order seriously.
