The stream flowed silently from the stones. The fresh and tender leaves fluctuated in the sunshine with the breeze, sweeping the dust on the beacon tower. The eunuch asked Feng Bao to put down an empty bowl, took a few confidants downstairs, and strode towards the things loading over there.

"Those mad dogs, please be careful. Don't be bitten, otherwise we will have to kill if we get mad dog disease or get plague."

In the past, a few of the actors were probably a little clumsy, so they made a sound reminder. There were carriages with cages tied around their necks and pulled them into cages. The sound of dogs barking, so his voice was not very eye-catching.

"These dogs are so precious. If you take a little more, you will have more Jurchens to lose their lives. The number of us here is too small, and we can't compare to the other strongholds' hands and feet."

In the woods not far away, the birds seemed to be shocked and cried and flew away from the treetops. Feng Bao stopped to supervise and turned his head to look at the woods where the birds were scared away. Under the shade, the sun shone on one's face and his figure quickly walked over.

The man knelt alone first, then leaned forward and said softly, pointing his finger in a certain direction.

Feng Bao frowned and walked back and forth in a few steps, "What do a few mountain people want to do to find something?"

"Hundreds of households, will the earth wall collapse last time? More than ten rotten corpses were dragged away by wild beasts in the mountains and discovered them?" Behind him, a confidant, whispered a whisper.

"Discovered"

The hundred households in the East Factory stopped and looked at their confidant, stretched their frowns, and narrowed their eyes: "There is no airtight wall in the world. At this time, it is really the time when the transition between the green and yellow people is short of food everywhere. Someone must have caught a few escaped mice to eat the plague, and someone came here."

"It's a pity, although we waited to kill the golden dog, the secret here cannot be revealed. The people outside don't care whether we did right or wrong. Since those mountain people broke in, they can only blame them for their bad luck."

The tone was slow, a little gloomy, and a little joyful voice spread in the quiet sunshine.

Soon, he issued an order.

"I'll kill you all around."

************************************************

The light in the sky slowly walked under the shadow of leaves and gradually turned westward.

Zhou Tong sat under a tree to rest, and looked at the sky and surrounding terrain. The rest of the people next to him surrounded him and hid in the shade of the tree and whispered, probably discussing some topics. Even though he was a little thirsty and hungry, no one dared to drink water from the stream before he figured out the matter.

"Dad drinks some water. This is what I packed before coming out of the village. You can drink it." Beside me, Fuqi took out a worn water bag and handed it to the old man. His voice was very soft, and he could hear that his emotions were somewhat affected by Aunt Niu's death.

The old man took the water bag and pecked it, but did not drink too much, and then handed it back. The woman just took it, but didn't drink it. Maybe she had already drunk it before.

"Are you still blaming your father? In that case, there is no herb in the village that can eliminate the plague, and even if there is one, it may not be able to save it." Zhou Tong sighed.

The leaves broke free from the branches in the breeze, and swirled and fell at Fu Zi's feet. The woman stared blankly at the leaves that had not yet been completely opened, lying quietly in the mud. Her lips were pursed for a while before slowly opening, and her voice was whispered.

"No daddy, just"

Tears flashed in the corners of my eyes, and it was wiped away quickly, and my voice was choked: "I just feel that everyone is living a very difficult life. It's obvious that everyone has nothing but hungry and can survive it."

"But why do you still die in the end?" Tears flowed through, but they didn't cry.

Zhou Tong took a deep breath and looked at the rippling stream in silence. On the other side, the villagers who came out together also fell silent. After all, everyone came back by luck from the butcher knives of the Jurchens. They were hungry and looked for food in the mountains, scraping tree bark, chewing grass roots, and on the mountain, the food around the village was almost the same, and it was not easy to survive.

"It's time to leave. Let's go for another part. It's going to be dark. If you can't find it, we'll look for it tomorrow."

In silence, Zhou Tong stood up.

A sudden buzzing sound occurred in the air. Something flew out of the forest at the side door, and the old man subconsciously took action and grabbed it.

A crossbow arrow was pinched into his palm.

"Not good!" As soon as I cried in my heart, the grass, trees, and shadows came over in the shadows, and then several sounds of breaking through the air came.

Whoosh

puff!!

Blood splattered.

Someone here was shot into an arrow in his throat and was shot through his neck and fell to the ground. Blood flowed all over the ground in an instant, and the man was dead.

"Uncle Chen"

Seeing the middle-aged man who had spoken before, Fu Chi shouted sadly, wanting to go over, but Zhou Tong grabbed him, "Don't go to die, follow me closely and leave immediately!"

The villagers who followed him became confused for a moment when the arrow rain shot. It was not until someone got caught in the arrow that he woke up like a dream and walked back quickly with the old man there.

In the woods, an eunuch with white eyes made a gesture, his palms clenched into fists in the air. Around him, there were two figures, three figures, and three put down their crossbows, bows and arrows, pulled out their blades and rushed out.

"No one left"

Under the mask, the eunuch from the East Factory gave orders, and then he rushed out and stared at the old man who grabbed the arrow with his bare hands.

By the stream, four people who were running away suddenly saw a team of hundreds of people coming out of both sides, and rushed towards them, carrying steel knives silently.

In the bright light, the old man narrowed his eyes, and someone's shadow blocked the light. Then, with a bang, the green palm wind faintly shined.

Zhou Tong just took a step and protected Fu Zi behind him. His ordinary fist stretched out from his sleeves. In the air, the figure jumped in was slightly stunned. But when his palm hit the opponent's fist, he flew backwards like a cannonball, and his body crossed the air. With a rush, the water splashed and smashed into the stream.

"Dad, are you injured?"

"Walk!!!!"

The voices were intertwined, and the old man pulled the other person without waiting for the woman to speak, waved his hand and punched him in a body rushing towards him with a knife, turned around and stepped forward, quickly leaving the battle group.

The figure soon disappeared in the dense woods.

By the stream, figures rose from the water. The war was basically over. Several villagers had fallen into a pool of blood. Only one young man suddenly turned against his rank and surrendered to the other party during the battle.

Water stains dripped on the hem of the palace robe, and he walked staggeringly to the kneeling young man, "Tell us the two people who escaped."

"My father-in-law is not a mountain citizen, but he just has to fall here." Before Feng Bao finished speaking, the man immediately begged for mercy: "It's just that the fortune is not good. The Jurchen father-in-law also asked to circumvent his life. If he is a cow or a horse, Mu Yang will also repay his father-in-law for his great kindness."

Feng Bao took off his uterus cap and wrung it dry, and the water fell on the head of a young man named Mu Yang, "So you still have a lot of people?"

"If you say goodbye to me, yes," the young man replied tremblingly on his knees.

“That’s good.”
