Chapter 267 The world is in chaos

The door of the stone house was not closed, and Murong Qing hid behind the door to observe the situation outside.

The stranger who appeared was dressed in ragged clothes and his skin was tanned. You could clearly see the protruding cheekbones on his face due to long-term deprivation of food, and his lean physique.

He is the kind of lean person who often works under the sun and runs through the mountains and forests in order to survive.

Pei Mo turned his back to Murong Qing, his face was gloomy, and he asked sternly, "Then what do you want to do here?"

Seeing that Pei Mo didn't chase him away and that he was really thirsty, the hunter clasped his hands together and prayed, "I haven't drunk water all night. I can't find the river. I saw wild fruits in the forest, but just now

When I picked the wild fruit to eat, the monkey snatched it away. Then I saw the monkey fainted and died after eating the wild fruit. I dare not eat this poisonous wild fruit. Please give me a bowl of water.

Bar!"

Pei Mo saw that the hunter had no ill intentions and turned around with a cold face to get a ladle of water, "Here, drink it and leave here!"

"Thank you very much!"

When Orion saw the water, he seemed to have seen a savior. He took the gourd and drank it hard.

After drinking the water, Orion was satisfied and began to say auspicious words, "You are so kind and compassionate, and the Infinite God will bless you."

The originally good lunch time was interrupted. Pei Mo just wanted to get rid of this hunter quickly, so he said, "You go, if you don't go down the mountain, you won't be able to leave when the beasts in the mountain appear!"

Speaking of this, Orion's voice became a little softer and his tone became lower.

Murong Qing, who was hiding behind the door, had ups and downs in his heart. It had only been less than two months, why was there so much turmoil outside? Before he came to the valley to find Pei Mo, the situation in the court was temporarily stable, and he didn't think anyone was going to raise an army.

After the shock, the hunter began to lament again, "How are we going to live like this! I have an old man and a young man. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been arrested by the government and served as a soldier. I originally wanted to bring the whole family with me.

After hiding in the mountains for a while, it seems I can only find another place."

"Guess what, the government officials have come to the village to arrest a young man, but why do they come again a few days later, with two groups of officials wearing different clothes coming to arrest him? Do you think it's strange or not?"

Murong Qing trembled when she heard Orion's words, "King of the North, Murong clan! Her home!"

She didn't know why, she pushed the door open and asked loudly, "Is this the army of the King of the North, with the crimson flag and the red ribbon on his arm?"

Orion said embarrassedly, "Yes, I am illiterate. This is also what I heard from the scholar in the village. The scholar said that the general's surname was Murong. I looked at that general from a distance. Compared with that general, you are simply incredible.

On par!"

After hearing this, Pei Mo felt a little sad in his heart, "This mountain is really not suitable for people to live in. You should go to the nearby mountain and have a look. Maybe that mountain is suitable for living."

Orion's chatterbox seemed to have opened up, and he began to complain nonstop, "Let me tell you, I actually feel that this Dashun Dynasty is not about fighting foreign enemies, but more like fighting against myself. I have had a special sense of danger since I was a child, so

Every time I go hunting, I can go down the mountain safely. Just like this time when I caught a young man, I ran away first and hid outside for a few days before returning to the village. When I returned to the village, I realized something was wrong!"

Pei Mo narrowed his sharp eyes and made up a lie to scare the hunters, "Of course, there are not only eye-catching white-fronted insects in this forest, but also black bears that are taller than people. You can still hear wolves howling at night.

If it rains, the poisonous insects nesting in the ground will come out for air. It is simply not a place for people to stay. You should leave quickly and take your family to live elsewhere."

"The leader of the army is called Bei Wang. It's really rare to have a surname with two characters. It seems to be called Morong..." Orion scratched the back of his head and thought hard, "I remembered, it's Murong!"

Moreover, what do the two groups of officers and soldiers in Orion's mouth mean?

Pei Mo was also curious, "What's going on?"

Orion was stunned, "This mountain is really not a place for humans. It's so scary!"

Orion shook his head, "You don't know, this Dashun Dynasty is afraid of going to war. I remember that the last time we captured the strong men, we fought against the barbarians in the south. Now that we are here again, I just don't know which side Dashun will fight again."

Murong Qing clasped her nails on the door panel. Is the world really in chaos?

Orion smiled honestly and kept saying, "Excuse me, although there is chaos outside, fortunately my family is fine. Strangely enough, after the two groups of officers and soldiers left, another army came.

I thought the village was going to suffer again, but it turned out that a good man came!"

"Be a soldier?" Pei Mo had a strange feeling in his heart when he heard these two words. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong with being a soldier?"

Coarse linen clothes can't hide Pei Mo's battlefield past, just like yellow mud can't suppress the seeds that are about to sprout.

Orion babbled, "I'm not sure, but what's weirder is yet to come. Seeing that they couldn't catch strong men, the officials who came to recruit soldiers actually started robbing them, including quilts, sugar and meat, as well as knives and pots.

They robbed whatever they saw and burned villagers' belongings.

The house, those who disobeyed were killed on the spot. Fortunately, my mother was smart and handed over all the things. If only the strong men were captured, I would not take the whole family to live in the mountains. Even if the world is too chaotic now, I will

After counting, only half of the people in the village were left."

"I am my mother's only son. My father died on the battlefield while catching young men a few years ago. I am too timid to go to the battlefield. I can only run away. Don't laugh at me. My son is only two years old this year. I don't

I’m willing to give it up.”

Pei Mo seemed to regard this mountain as his own territory. At this time, the hunters were like thieves who broke into his territory. This made him so happy.

Murong Qing's reaction in the room was different from Pei Mo's. She was full of doubts, was it a conscription? This was a barren land, and the conscription came here anyway.

"Murong?"

Pei Mo said nothing indifferently, but felt that what the Orion said seemed familiar.

Pei Mo moved to stand in front of Murong Qing, his strong body blocking Orion's gaze from staring directly at her.

"Uh, how does the little lady know this?"

As a result, Orion looked shocked and said, "There are still wild beasts in the mountains! Will these wild beasts come to harass people? Originally, I wanted to take my family up the mountain to hide."

Pei Mo was a little surprised. Wasn't his wife's surname Murong?

The hunter was startled by the sudden appearance of Murong Qing, and became a little dull after seeing her beautiful face.

"Just say yes or no, this is my wife."

Pei Mo's voice was as cold as ice, but he didn't have any doubts about Murong Qing's words.

"Yes, yes, they have tall horses and red flags. It's the first time I've seen such a neat army. Of course, I can't mistake it."

As these words fell, a strong wind blew in the forest, as if the world outside was in chaos.
