Longevity starts with learning

Just at the foot of the mountain opposite, the team of villagers driving cattle and sheep and pushing carriages is very conspicuous.

As if they heard the shouts of the inspectors, the originally quiet and orderly group of villagers became obviously panicked.

But someone was obviously organizing. Soon, the slowly moving group of villagers moved much faster, and even dropped a lot of the supplies they carried.

It's a bit far away and can't be seen clearly.

But there is no doubt that the "rebel" is just ahead.

"Chase!"

The order was issued again, followed by shouts.

Seeing the "rebel" figure with his own eyes, the morale of the patrol inspectors was obviously much higher, and they quickly headed down the mountain amidst shouts.

"The mountains and rivers are exhausted..."

Chu Mu looked at the figures escaping in the mountains and forests opposite, and these four words suddenly appeared in his heart.

The madness of the moth flying into the flame last night, as expected, should have exhausted the little resistance power of Qili Village.

Next…

Chu Mu looked at the inspectors rushing down the mountain, and then glanced in the direction of the villagers of Qili Village.

Tightening the hilt of the knife, Chu Mu took a step forward without thinking any more, and followed the inspection team down the mountain.

Along the way, contrary to Chu Mu's expectation, there was not even a single attack in such a close pursuit.

In just over half an hour, a hundred or so armed patrols arrived at the foot of the mountain smoothly.

The woods were in a mess, with scattered clothes, food, discarded bicycle frames, and even cattle and sheep wandering around in the forest.

"Follow me!"

"They can't run far!"

Chu Mu had just stopped, but before he could clearly see the scene in front of him, Li Jinghong's command sounded again.

Chu Mu looked around subconsciously and found nothing unusual.

Just as he was about to take steps to keep up with the advancing inspection, the sudden screams instantly made Chu Mu's heart tense to the extreme.

Before Chu Mu could see the source of the screams, a roaring sound broke through the air, exploding in the mess.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Flying arrow clusters and sharpened bamboo tubes came from all directions, like a dragnet, towards the patrols who broke into the forest.

There were those who fled randomly, but they fell headlong into a pit covered by leaves, and were directly stabbed to the core by the sharpened bamboo tube in the pit.

Some of them were trembling on the spot, but their bodies were directly penetrated by the sharp bamboo tube fired from nowhere.

Suddenly, blood flowers bloomed in this messy land, dyeing the dense forest with blood almost instantly.

Chu Mu did not dare to move at all. He pulled the frightened Xu Yuan and half-crouched beside the bicycle frame abandoned by the villagers of Qili Village. Using the cover of the bicycle frame, Chu Mu watched the surrounding situation with great vigilance.

After a cursory look around, Chu Xu suddenly understood something when he saw the mountain people rushing out with various weapons.

Really desperate!

Chu Mu suddenly felt a little nervous. There were heavy casualties along the way. There were almost two hundred people patrolling when they entered the mountain. Just now, it was estimated to be just over a hundred.

Now I am ambushed by such a long-planned plan...

"You won't be overturned, right?"

Chu Mu held the long knife tightly, and there seemed to be a little worry in his brows.

If this is overturned, it will really be over!

This vast mountain is covered with heavy snow, and the place is unfamiliar, so there is no way to escape!

"A bunch of trash!"

"Give it all to me!"

"Those who retreat will die!"

"Rush! Charge me!"

After killing an inspector who was about to collapse and run away, Li Jinghong looked around the audience and shouted loudly throughout the audience.

As Li Jinghong's voice sounded, the hundreds of households and the team leaders finally reacted. Amidst the shouts and shouts, the chaos of fighting each other finally restored some order.

Scattered counterattacks also appeared subsequently.

After observing for a while, Chu Mu slowly felt relieved.

This ambush seemed huge, but in reality, it was just the first wave of traps and the terrifying casualties caused by the sharp bamboo tubes launched in an unknown way.

And then, scattered arrow cluster attacks, as well as the old and weak mountain people...

They all clearly told that Qili Village was at the end of its rope.

Up close, Chu Mu even saw an old hunter with white hair rushing over with a rusty hunting knife.

It is not difficult to see that most of the attackers who came this time were ordinary civilians with no skills at all.

Military merit is really close at hand, and for Chu Mu, it is really within easy reach.

But at this moment, in this fight between life and death, Chu Mu actually hesitated.

Facing the attacker who was extremely skilled and deadly, he could resist without hesitation and even use all his heart and soul to kill him.

But in the face of this old and weak man who comes looking for death...

It is not the kindness of a woman, nor is it the Holy Mother.

It's just...the outlook on life and values ​​established over decades in his previous life are affecting him.

"Dog officer, die!"

The blade roared towards him, and the ferocious face close at hand was clearly visible. The hateful eyes seemed to want to eat Chu Mu alive.

"Brother Mu!"

Seeing Chu Mu in a daze, Xu Yuan exclaimed!

As the blade approached, Chu Mu finally pulled away and avoided the old man's attack without spending much energy.

Feeling the hateful look in the old man's eyes, Chu Mu felt mixed emotions in his heart, and he couldn't even explain what he felt in his heart.

Is he wrong?

Wearing the uniform of a patrol inspector, he did things according to his conscience, and never oppressed anyone, let alone used this uniform to do anything unscrupulous.

This time, it was just his duty to go into the mountains to suppress bandits.

It is natural for officials to catch bandits!

And is the old man in front of him wrong?

He is not wrong either.

The burden of corvée labor is too heavy, and the people are living in poverty. It is also natural for officials to force the people to rebel!

It is natural for him to kill himself as an official and hate himself as an official!

No one is wrong!

Chu Mu pursed his lips, raised his hand and blocked the blade of the old man with a knife, then changed the long knife, the blade turned to the back of the knife, and the force just cut the old man's neck.

The old man's eyes went black, and he collapsed directly to the ground like a puddle of mud.

"Second Uncle!"

"Second Uncle!"

"You dog officer, you killed my second uncle, I want you dead!"

"Die!"

Accompanied by crazy shouts, another strong man rushed towards Chu Mu like crazy.

Chu Mu was speechless. This time, he would not hold back at all.

This strong man was obviously also a martial artist. He swung a big knife with great force. After a few slashes, Chu Mu felt that his arms were not his own.

"Go on, are you going to let Brother Mu fight alone again!"

"If Brother Mu loses, can we run away?"

Seeing that Chu Mu was obviously exhausted, Xu Yuan hurriedly shouted to several inspectors on the side, and then rushed up with a knife.
