The Nameless of the Common Clans

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 is no bed 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 a little overwhelmed.

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 we can 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 and Uncle Li who often With the people running outside leading 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 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 this, 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 like that. 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 also 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 younger women or children starve to death, it would be really miserable. It is nothing for a hungry 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..." Duan 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 falls, I don’t know how many people will freeze to death.

Duan 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 turbid 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, looking 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?" Liu Lao 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 appearance, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the snow. He finally lowered his raised fist silently, sat next to Mr. Liu and frowned: "You live in the city, no matter what, you are not like me. Waiting for normal?”

"In the city?" Old Liu sneered and shook his head, saying, "The people from the Taiping Sect have not arrived yet, but the Xiaqiu Ling and Xiaqiu County Lieutenant have all fled, leaving only an empty city. The Taiping Sect thieves easily attacked and burned, killed and looted as soon as they entered. I am an old man, what can I do if I don't flee with them? Do you want me to fight and kill the enemy?"

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

"If you want to fight, then fight. Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you kill them, it will be over." Old Liu looked at Chen Mo impatiently.

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

"Some are, some are not. After escaping from the city, the younger ones all followed the Taiping Sect, leaving only the old, weak, women and children. They gather and disperse. They have experienced a lot in these days. I don't know many of them. Now they are gathered together. Let's see who can die first, so that others can live a few more days." Seeing that Chen Mo didn't beat him, Liu Lao didn't bother to ask the reason.

"Brother Mo..." Ah Dai pulled Chen Mo's sleeve and pointed to the broken pot beside him.

Chen Mo turned his head and saw that there were a lot of bones around the broken pot... Chen Mo took a deep breath and didn't look at those. He had seen a lot of such things these days and was not surprised.

"Then is there any city nearby willing to accept refugees?" Chen Mo looked at Liu Lao and asked.

"Xia Qiu was broken, Ling County and Hong County were also broken, Xia Xiang is not sure, I met the refugees from Si Wu yesterday, I think it was also broken, if you can go further, if you can go to Xia Pi, maybe you can, that is the county seat." Liu Lao said with his eyes closed.

"How far is Xia Pi from here?" Chen Mo said with some reluctance.

"More than 200 miles, if you have enough food, you can try." Liu Lao laughed teasingly.

Chen Mo frowned and stood up, and wanted to leave with Ah Dai, but his clothes were pulled by someone, and he turned his head to see that it was a woman.

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

"Young man, is there anything to eat?" The woman looked at Chen Mo, and most of her clothes were already taken off. Her skin was rough and dirty, and her original color could no longer be seen. The woman's eyes were filled with desire: "Give me some, I will listen to you in everything, and this body will definitely serve you well..."

"No...no..." Chen Mo dragged Ah Dai away in a panic. How to serve, Chen Mo had seen it in these days. Along the way, he also understood some things about men and women, and sometimes he would have inexplicable desires, but he couldn't accept this kind of thing, so he could only run.

Happy New Year
