Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Soon, three horses appeared at the bend of the mountain path, followed by infantrymen with swords and guns.

Lin Yinan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of about thirty or forty people, all dressed in rags, not like regular troops.

The other party also saw them, and the leader was slightly startled.

He remembered that the village ahead had been massacred by them long ago. Where did such a huge group of people come from?

Seeing how strong their men and horses are, could they be bandits coming down from the mountains?

Yun Mo and Yun Ye looked at each other, and they knew the origins of those people at a glance.

A bunch of stragglers.

Yun Mo ordered Yun Yi, "Yun Yi, call some brothers with good skills to take them down."

The mountain path was narrow and there was no way to avoid it, so Yun Yi went straight ahead.

The leader on horseback thought that Yun Yi had come to make peace with them. Before he could even raise his hands to introduce himself, he was kicked off his horse and fell into the mud, with his face covered in mud.

Seeing this, the soldiers behind turned around and ran.

The Yun family's secret guards would never give them any chance. They were all captured in just a few moves.

There were more than a dozen people who resisted fiercely and refused to be captured. They were strangled by the secret guards on the spot. The rest of the people instantly turned into quails, and were taken in front of the Yun Mo brothers, including the three leading men on horseback.

Yun Mo looked them over from head to toe, "Where do you soldiers come from?"

The soldiers looked at each other, and finally all their eyes turned to the person who was taking the lead in riding a horse.

The leader raised his head helplessly and said, "My fellow heroes, you may not know that the city of Yi was breached by the mixed Hu coalition a few days ago. The general of the southern route died in the battle with 100,000 soldiers, allowing the Hu people to march straight in. The defenders of Yi city fled without a fight."

"We are also forced to do so. The imperial court won't allocate food, and our superiors have run away. We can't fight the barbarians on an empty stomach!"

"Every family has old and young people. It's a pity that we can't even go home. I'm afraid we'll never be able to reunite with our loved ones again in this life."

In the end, the leader cried and spoke in a very miserable way.

Hearing him say this, the other soldiers quickly lowered their heads.

I don't know whether it's guilt or fear.

Yun Mo sneered, "Did you guys massacre the village behind?"

The soldiers' heads, which were already lowered, were now almost hanging down to their crotches.

The leader's face froze, and then he said indignantly, "We fought bravely on the front line, but these villagers treated us like wolves and tigers, and didn't even give us food."

“Where are the women and children in the village?”

The leader's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he stammered, "Yes, in our camp."

"how many people?"

"more than ten."

Yun Mo continued to ask, "Why did you turn back?"

The leader glanced at the expressionless Yun Mo and did not dare to hide anything.

"The weather has warmed up, and there are refugees everywhere. I'm afraid the Hu people will find us sooner or later. We want to go up the mountain from the village and find a place to hide in the mountains."

"Where is your camp?"

The leader swallowed his saliva. The man in front of him had sharp eyes and a terrifying aura, and didn't look like a bandit at all.

"It's less than ten miles from here."

Yun Mo waved his hand towards Yun and said, "Take him away."

The leader tried to struggle, but Yun Er held him down and asked, "What do we do with these people?"

Yun Mo looked at Yun Ye, who nodded slightly.

"Kill it." Yun Mo said indifferently, as if he was not killing a human life, but a chicken.

The leader struggled even more violently, trying to get a glimmer of hope.

"Sir, please show mercy and spare me. I don't want to die!"

Yun Mo glanced at him.

"You killed those unarmed civilians. Did you show any mercy?"

Yun San drew out two swords from his waist, and swung them left and right, killing them one by one. He and the secret guards quickly took care of these people.

Everyone leaned their heads out to watch, and the team was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Even though you can’t see it, you can hear the sound of the sword cutting flesh and then being pulled out, blood splattering into the mud.

The team continued to move forward. The villagers looked at the blood on the ground. The timid ones covered their chests and couldn't help trembling.

The soldiers' camp was in a flat forest. If they hadn't been going in and out frequently and trampled a path in the mud, it might have been impossible to find it.

There was a faint smell of barbecue wafting from the woods.

Lin Yinan was very sensitive to smells and could immediately tell that the meat tasted a little different.

The soldiers inside heard the noise and thought that the leader had returned, but before they could come out to greet him, he was dealt with by the secret guards.

Yun Yi, Yun Er and Yun San led their men to rush in and quickly tied up several soldiers. Many of them had not had time to put on clothes and shoes and were only wearing underwear.

Yun Mo sat on his horse and looked down at him, "Is everyone here?"

Yun Er kicked one of them in the knee, and the man's legs went limp and he fell to his knees in the mud.

The man said dejectedly, "Except for the people the boss took out, everyone is here."

"How's the situation inside?"

Several people were silent, and Yun Er raised his foot and kicked hard at those naked people.

Yun Mo understood what was going on when he saw this. He dismounted from his horse and wanted to go in and take a look himself.

Lin Yiheng at the back was always paying attention to the situation here. When he saw Yun Mo was about to go in, he winked at Lin Tiezhuang, Lin Yuanzhi and Su Yunzhi at the back.

The three of them understood and headed into the forest.

Lin Chaohui saw several people following the Yun family's secret guards out several times, and each time they brought back spoils of war. He hurriedly followed them. There was not much food left at home, and these soldiers should have some stored food.

Lin Yinan handed the rope to Qianwu, and she also wanted to go in and see what was going on inside.

Passing by Yun Er, he reached out to stop her, "Miss Lin, there's nothing to see inside. I suggest you don't go in."

Yun Ying rushed out from the side and hugged Lin Yinan's arm.

"Yun Er, let's go and see what's going on?"

Yun Er put away his hands and said, "Since you don't want to listen, then go ahead."

"What's inside? It's so mysterious." Yun Ying curled her lips.

She is the kind of person who won't turn back until she hits her face against the wall, and she is the kind of person who won't listen to advice.

There were more than a dozen wooden houses built in the woods. Four or five skewers of meat were roasting on a big fire in the middle of the camp. The surface of the meat was roasted until golden and greasy, and it was impossible to tell what kind of meat it was.

The smell of meat outside the forest comes from here.

There was a big pot on another fire, steam coming out of it. I wonder what was stewing inside?

No one else noticed it, but Lin Chaohui saw that the skewers were already roasted. He took out a handkerchief and wanted to take the meat back for his mother and sister to eat.

Yunying was very curious about what was stewing in the pot, so she took two steps forward and lifted the lid.

Lin Yinan quickly stopped him, "Don't open it..."

But it was too late. Before she could finish her words, two screams instantly pierced the entire forest, startling several owls that were sleeping deep in the forest.

"Ah, ah! It's an arm..."

This was Lin Chaohui's voice. The piece of barbecue he threw on the ground was a child's arm with two bent fingers attached to it.
