Chapter 21

Mu Zhixu's heart softened, "Come here, sister, to see the wound on your face."

"I'm fine," Mu Zhixia still shook his head, "Sister, your face is serious, it's about to bleed, please apply some medicine."

When Mu Zhixu heard this, he raised his hand to touch it, and there was also a scratch on her left cheek.

I didn't feel it, but I touched it with my hand, and it was hot and painful.

She touched the powder from her bosom, refused the help of Mu Shen and Mu Yuan, and casually sprinkled some on her face.

On the way to escape famine, I don't care about it.

Anyway, this wound will not leave a scar after using medicine.

Furthermore, looks have never been the most important thing to her.

Of course, no one likes to have scars on their faces.

Afterwards, she gave Mu Zhixia medicine again, checked and found that Mu Zhixia's hand was also scratched.

There were several holes in the clothes.

Fortunately, it was still summer, otherwise people would be frozen to death.

She herself was not much better, her clothes, which were passable at first, were torn to pieces.

Coupled with the wounds on his face and hands, he looked more pitiful than ordinary refugees.

They are all like this, and others are even more so. Coupled with the panicked expressions on their faces, each of them looks extremely desperate.

After resting for a while, Mu Zhixu led his younger siblings to move on.

Seeing them return the same way, the others were anxious.

"Wait... where are you going? We finally got here, and we want to go back the same way?" An old lady ran to Mu Zhixu and blocked her way.

Others also chattered, "We will soon be at the boundary of Xuanwei Mansion. If we work harder, we will be able to reach Xuanwei Mansion within a month, and we will be able to settle down by then."

"Yes, yes, isn't it courting death if you go back now?"

"The army must have reached Yongning Mansion, and it is not safe to go back the same way."

"But the road ahead is not safe, don't say you didn't find out who were the people who killed people last night?" Some people had different attitudes.

The voice of everyone's discussion gradually became smaller.

An old man was full of panic, "We have wolves in the front and tigers in the back, and there are dead people on the left and right!"

"Fate in troubled times is cheap, we were born to be cheap..."

"Don't say that, although the world is chaotic, but the sky is big and the earth is big, there is no shelter for the common people?"

"Yes, I don't believe we can't find a city to take people like us!"

Seeing that they were spitting, Mu Zhixu sighed, and said, "For the present plan, I can only make plans by going back the same way temporarily. Of course, this is just my personal idea. I want to go back the same way."

After speaking, she greeted her younger siblings and left with her burden on her back.

The footsteps are firm, without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing this, everyone, except the Wu and Zhao families, hesitated.

"But...we can't even deal with the bandits in front of us when we go back!" Someone suddenly roared.

The person who was originally moved is like cold water pouring down from the head,

Yes, there is a group of bandits not far ahead.

Wu Sanshui couldn't see everyone's timidity, so he said, "I just know that if I don't leave, maybe the people behind will catch up and die immediately, and there is still a chance to go forward."

After speaking, he took his family and chased after him.

The rest of the people were silent for a while, and after the first person moved, everyone followed one after another.

What can you do if you don't keep up?There are wolves in front and tigers in back, and it is the same wherever you go.

Mu Zhixu always took the path. After a day, looking at the majestic mountains in front of her, she had no choice but to go out by the path and take the official road.

It doesn't matter if she is alone, but for those who take care of the children and take care of the cubs, the towering mountains are a hindrance.

Maybe there will be fierce beasts, two fists are hard to beat four hands, she can't take risks with her younger siblings.

After coming out of the small road, it took another half a day to turn to the official road.

There are many refugees on the official road, several times more than when they were going forward, and most of these refugees turned back, only a few continued to walk in the direction of Xuanwei Mansion.

Mu Zhixu glanced at it, and probably had an idea in his mind.

It seems that the Xuanwei army did it on purpose. They deliberately tortured and killed the refugees in order to drive them back.

So why do they do this?

Mu Zhixu frowned.

"Hahaha, brothers, come alive again!" While Mu Zhixu was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded in front of him.

Feeling Xia Xia tremble, she squeezed the little girl's hand tightly.

Look up.

This is the bandits...

But this is not yet the bandits' territory.

"Sensible, put down all your burdens, or don't blame us for being rude!"

Thirty or forty people, all armed.

Although they are mobs, they are quite bluffing. Most of the refugees who fled are ordinary people who face the loess and their backs to the sky. They have a natural fear of bandits.

They suddenly went limp.

"There is nothing in this bag, you snatched everything when it came!"

"Still letting people live, God!"

Some people cried subconsciously.

"Shut up, it's so noisy, don't talk nonsense, quickly put down the burden and roll over, or I will kill you." The leading bandit was as fierce as ever.

Robbed a lot of refugees, making these people even more rampant.

"There's really nothing left..."

"What are you doing talking so much nonsense with them? We've already been robbed once. There are only a few dozen of them. There are so many of us. Are you afraid that they won't succeed?" An angry voice sounded.

The refugees were forced to turn back, and they were holding their breath, but when someone stepped forward, they immediately responded.

"I fought with them!"

"Damn, my family's life-saving food was robbed when it arrived. They can rob it, so can we!" A man spat hard.

"Count me in!"

"Damn it, I don't do it anymore, there are people who won't give us a way out, and I just don't believe in evil!"

The bandits were a little surprised when they saw the red eyes of the refugees and the ruthlessness.

But after the accident comes anger!
A group of refugees who are neither human nor ghost, they should be obediently let them rob!
These people have tasted the sweetness of the robbery, and they have long forgotten that they were once among the refugees.

"Since you are looking for death, you can't blame us. The brothers went up, robbed their things and women, and brought them all back to the village. Let's get married again tonight, hahaha..."

Disgusting laughter echoed in the mountains, and everyone was angry now.

"Let's go together, kill them, and take back everything they stole!"

I don't know who yelled, Mu Zhixu pulled his siblings in the middle and watched everyone rush up.

"Sister..."

Mu Zhixu looked at the eagerness in the eyes of the two younger brothers, and smiled, "Take the dagger I gave you for self-defense, and go."

In this troubled world, whoever is ruthless will survive!
