The little girl was so frightened that she kept crying, but the man laughed.

The boss went up again, and the man pulled out a knife and put it to his neck.

"Want to die?"

Seeing this scene, Zijin was so angry that he drew his sword and said, "Girl, I will kill those bastards!"

Zi Jin said that he was about to step forward, but Liu Yunxiang quickly held her back.

"girl!"

Liu Yunxiang hissed at her, "Someone is coming."

A group of cavalry came from the west. They were all wearing armor. The leader was a man with a mustache who looked very elegant. He reined in the reins and stopped in front of the wine shop.

When several people saw the man, they rushed forward and saluted, "General Mo."

General Mo stared at the man at the front. Under his gaze, the man swallowed and quietly let go of the girl. The little girl cried and went to help her father up. The father and daughter were trembling with fear.

"We have to defend Yangguan during the war. Do you not know or are you disrespectful of military discipline?" General Mo said, his voice cold and measured.

The leading man hurriedly knelt down and said, "Subordinate... I drank too much. Please forgive me, General."

"Someone, tie him up and take him back to be punished!"

"General, spare my life!" The man kowtowed in panic.

Several other people suddenly woke up and helped the man plead for mercy.

But General Mo ignored this and continued to move forward on his horse.

The man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. Two soldiers tied him up, dragged him to a horse and took him away.

Soon the night became quiet again, and the father and daughter hurriedly hid back in the wine shop.

"My slave thought that the Southern Jin people drove the men out of the city and left only the women. Maybe..." Zijin coughed twice, "but my slave was wrong."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "You can't just look at things on the surface, but the military discipline of the Southern Jin Dynasty is indeed very strict."

"If the Southern Jin Dynasty can rise up in a short period of time and have the momentum to sweep across the Central Plains, their army will not be bad." Yan Mu said.

"really."

Previously outside the city, they had fought with some Southern Jin soldiers who were chasing refugees. Not only were they physically strong, but they were also good at martial arts. Such people were naturally much more effective on the battlefield than some of Da Rong's indiscriminate soldiers.

They walked deeper into the alley and saw that the door of a house was broken open and the yard was in a mess. No one seemed to be living there anymore. The three of them thought of resting here for the night and making plans for tomorrow.

Zi Jin was walking in front and stepped on something. He lowered his head and took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp.

"A corpse!"

Yan Mu took out the fire certificate and looked at the ground. It was the body of a man, about forty years old, who had been killed with a knife. They walked a few steps further in and saw a woman in front of the house.

Then he walked into the house and saw the bodies of two children in the main room.

A family of four were all killed.

Yan Mu frowned deeply, "How many people's homes have been broken down, and how many such tragedies have occurred."

When great prosperity and weakness occur, the common people are the most miserable.

The weather in the south was sultry and hot, and the four corpses had rotted away. They dug a hole in the yard and buried the family of four in it.

That night, Liu Yunxiang leaned against Yan Mu, and the two of them sat on the steps in front of the house.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, which should have been a beautiful scene on a good day, but in their eyes it was cold.

"If we don't give up even an inch of ground, if we really lose to the Southern Jin Dynasty, what will we do then?" Liu Yunxiang thought of the people under the ruined city, who were already so miserable. If the country was destroyed...

She didn't dare to think about it.

"What do you want to do if you think about it so much? Just fight it and it's over." Yan Mu said.

"You never thought you would lose?"

"It doesn't matter if we lose, at least we didn't act like a coward."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and hugged Yan Mu's arm, knowing that he was not as relaxed as he said.

The next day there was movement at the opposite door, and Zijin asked them what they were doing.

The person opposite looked at Zijin with some surprise, "Who are you?"

"We escaped from the West City and are temporarily settling down here."

The woman opposite asked in confusion: "You don't know that there is a porridge shed in front of Yuanchang Herbal Medicine Store?"

"Porridge shed?"

"Yes, the Southern Jin Dynasty closed the city gates after they invaded Ling'an. Those with surplus food at home could hold on for a while, but soon there would be no food. Everyone was starving, and how many people died of starvation in a day. That Yuanchang Medicine

The owner of the shop is a kindhearted person in our local area. He took out the medicinal materials stored in the medicine shop and exchanged them with people from the Southern Jin Dynasty for food, and then he gave porridge to everyone at the medicine shop every morning and evening."

The woman said and hurried out, "If you go late, there will be no more."

As soon as the woman took two steps, the lame man chased her out.

"You stay home, I'll go!"

"Go back quickly. If you don't take care of that leg, you will really become a lame in the future!"

"When you come back, haven't you heard that women have been missing these past few days?"

"The ones who are missing are all the good-looking ones, even my old and mature ladies, they don't like them either."

Despite her husband's dissuasion, the woman ran out.

Liu Yunxiang came out of the yard and asked the lame man, "Brother, what's wrong with your leg?"

The man looked at them for a few times, and then said: "Yesterday when I went to the porridge shed, I bumped into a man from the Southern Jin Dynasty and was kicked. The man from the Southern Jin Dynasty was very strong and he broke his bone after being kicked by me. Fortunately, Yuanchang Medicine Store

The doctor gave me medicine and fixed it with a wooden board."

"Well, then why did you just say that a woman disappeared in the city?"

The man looked around hurriedly and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: "You three girls, it's best not to go out on the street. The missing woman was probably kidnapped by people from the Southern Jin Dynasty."

"What did the Southern Jin people do to arrest these women?"

"Who knows." The man paused again and said, "After the Southern Jin people entered the city, the men could not bear the humiliation and secretly plotted a riot. Of course, they were suppressed. The Southern Jin Dynasty had a premonition that it was not safe for the men to stay in the city.

, they caught men on the street, and either killed them or drove them out of the city. Slowly, there were fewer and fewer men in the city, and the remaining ones were women. And if the women escaped from the city, they would send

It takes so much effort to chase, but I don’t know why.”

When the man said this, he saw people from the Southern Jin Dynasty patrolling the streets, so he hurriedly returned home and quickly locked the door.

Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to go to the kitchen to find three bowls, "Come on, let's go take a look on the street."

The three of them came to the street and saw many people coming out of their homes and running to the city with bowls in their hands. There were people from the Southern Jin Dynasty patrolling the street, and the people walked around when they saw them.

When they arrived at the Yuanchang Medicine Store, there was already a long queue for people to receive porridge, and the three of them also lined up.

Everyone lined up in an orderly manner, but everyone lowered their heads and no one spoke.

At this time, a man came running towards us in a hurry. He looked at each other, his face getting more and more ugly.

"Sanniang? Sanniang?"

As he shouted and searched, his whole body became more and more collapsed.

"My wife is missing! She is missing!"

He asked the people in line. They looked sympathetic but shook their heads.

Some people also advised the man to go home quickly and not cause trouble.

At this time, a man from Nanjin on patrol heard the noise and came over. The man gritted his teeth and ran up, "Where is my wife? Where did you catch her? Give her back to me quickly!"

The man yelled like crazy. The Southern Jin soldiers pushed him away, but he stepped forward.
