"Old lady, something is wrong."
Xiao Wu's anxious shouts came from outside the house.
Mo Wen put down the bamboo flute and opened the door, Xiao Wu happened to run outside the east chamber door at this time, and after seeing Mo Wen, he said to Mo Wen, "Young master, just now a lone military master came to buy medicine for injuries, saying that the Hu people had broken through Qingping City." ” "Ah, why is it so fast" Mo Wen was suddenly shocked, Qingping City is the cantonment checkpoint in the north of Xiyang County, less than fifty miles away from here, and it is the north gate of Xiyang County.
"He said that the Hu people sent monsters to fight the strikers, and they couldn't defend it at all" Xiao Wu said this, and saw the old man and his wife walking out of the main house, and hurriedly turned around to inform them of the situation.
"Monster, what kind of monster" Mrs.
Mo's face turned pale with fright instantly.
Master Mo was also shocked when he heard this, but the old man's heart was steady, and he made a decision immediately after a short frown, "Go, go immediately" Mrs.
Mo turned around and wanted to go back to the hall to clean up her things, but was pulled by Old Man Mo's probe, "It's almost cleaned up before, throw away what should be thrown away, you go and help Wen'er clean up." ” When Mrs.
Mo heard this, she immediately walked towards the east chamber, and Mo Wen also reacted at this time, and went back to the house to pack up with her mother and wife, and after a while, the three carriages set off immediately.
"The Hu people are coming soon, and the villagers don't know yet, Xiao Wu, you have quick legs and feet, go to Lin's house, tell Master Lin and all the villagers to hide as soon as possible, and we will wait for you by the river."
Master Mo said to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu nodded in agreement when he heard this, handed over the horsewhip to Mo Wen, turned over and got out of the car and ran back The Mo family pharmacy usually has helpers, and the only domestic servants are Lao Wu's family and two maids, Mo Wen, Lao Wu and his father each drove a carriage and quickly walked out of the city gate to the south.
Xiyang County is more than ten miles away from the Yellow River, after leaving the city, the three people drove the carriage to run for their lives, although the murderous people of the Hu people have not seen, but they have heard the people who fled from the north have said, the big-nosed Hu people not only look different from the Han people, but also have a completely different temperament, the Han people fight with each other only to grab the territory, and the city will be kind to the innocent people after the city is broken.
However, if the Hu people broke through the cities of the Jin Kingdom, they would loot on a large scale, and the livestock and grain would naturally not be left, and the women would be all robbed, and the Hu people would be slaughtered for food during the day.
At present, Qingping City in the north has been lost, and the Hu people will come soon, and if it falls into the hands of the Hu people, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After running out of three miles, Mo Wen turned his head and looked back, and found that the people of Xiyang County who had been warned were swarming out of the south gate like ants leaving their holes, and everyone did not expect that the Hu people would come so quickly.
The three carriages were all used by the pharmacy to transport herbs before, without canopies, and Mrs.
Mo and Lin Ruochen sat on the first carriage driven by Master Lin.
Mo Wen followed closely behind with a second carriage, which was carrying the two maids of the family and the wife of the Lin family.
In the end, the carriage was mainly filled with utensils from the pharmacy and various medicinal herbs.
It snowed yesterday, and there was three inches of snow on the ground, and the horses ran in the snow from time to time stumbling and skidding, and the car was very bumpy, but when they fled for their lives, everyone didn't care so much, and frequently shook their whips to urge the horses, and after a while, they could already see the frozen river five miles ahead.
"Dad, can you run a carriage on the ice" Mo Wen shouted loudly, Mo Wen had always called his father before, but he couldn't care about chewing words anymore when he was dying.
"It's hard to say."
Master Mo responded loudly.
"Then let's get to the riverbank and drop the carriage, our lives matter."
Mo Wen shouted.
"The family's livelihood is all in the car, how can you live after you lose it," Master Mo shook his head and said.
Mo Wen encountered this kind of thing for the first time in his life, and he was inevitably flustered in his heart, because he was worried about Xiao Wu's safety and looked back from time to time, so he was in danger several times in the snow, and the last time the carriage was almost about to roll over, after being shocked into a cold sweat, Mo Wen no longer dared to be distracted, and concentrated on driving behind his father.
After a stick of incense, the carriage arrived at the river, and everyone stopped to take a breath and wait for Xiao Wu.
Mo Wen stood on the car and looked north, and found that there were no Hu soldiers and horses except for the fleeing people, which made him feel slightly calm, and then turned his head to look around, and soon he found Xiao Wu running in front of the crowd.
Xiao Wu was born with good foot strength, and he was familiar with the terrain here, so he quickly ran closer.
However, just when Xiao Wu was still a hundred feet away from here, Mo Wen saw a large number of Hu people on horseback appear on the northern ridge, less than five miles away from the river.
Due to the distance, Mo Wen couldn't see the appearance of the Hu people, but he could see the Hu people chasing and slashing the people who had fled from the city.
"Dad, the Hu people are here."
Mo Wen shouted at his father in horror.
Old Man Mo frowned when he heard this, and turned his head to look anxiously at Xiao Wu in the distance.
"Master, let's go first."
At the critical moment, Lao Wu shook the reins of his horse and rushed to the ice first.
"Be careful."
Master Mo drove the car to follow, the master and servant for many years, he naturally knew that Lao Wu was exploring the way for them by grabbing the pioneer car on the ice, and Lao Wu was driving the heaviest carriage, as long as he could pass, the two carriages behind could pass safely.
"Young master, hurry up, I can follow."
The little five people didn't arrive before the sound came.
Mo Wen did not immediately rush to the ice when he heard the sound, but looked at the bearded people riding horses not far from the north in shock, those bearded people were wearing brute clothes, with big noses and full beards, and at this time they were shouting loudly and slashing the fleeing people, the scimitars they used were extremely sharp, cutting off people's heads was like cutting melons, and the blood of those people was cut off more than two feet high, and the people who were cut in the back could not die for a while, and let out a desperate and terrible howl in the snow, Mo Wen had never seen such a bloody scene, and trembled like chaff under the shock, The hands and feet did not obey the call.
"Driving" Xiao Wu ran over sweating profusely, took the reins and drove the carriage onto the ice instead of Mo Wen.
The river is hundreds of zhang wide, the ice is very slippery, the horseshoe is palmed, the ice does not dare to go too fast, otherwise the horses may fall, the three carriages keep a distance of about five zhang and walk to the opposite bank tremblingly.

"Dad, hurry up."
Xiao Wu glanced back, turned his head and shouted at Lao Wu, who was walking in the front.
As soon as the words of "Dad" Xiao Wu fell, Lin Ruochen in the middle carriage let out a heart-rending scream towards the north.
Mo Wen turned back blankly, but what he saw was the tragic image of his father-in-law who ran to the riverbank and was split in half by Hu Ren from his left shoulder to his right rib.
Lin Ruochen fainted after screaming, Mo Wen didn't faint, but he vomited, he saw his father-in-law's blood and his father-in-law's heart and lungs, and two hours ago, his father-in-law sent him on the horse with a smile.
Just as Mo Wen vomited, a cold crisp clicking sound made his hair stand on end, which was the sound of ice cracking when the ice surface was overwhelmed.
"Master, it's not possible here, go downstream" Lao Wu's voice was drowned out by a huge clicking sound before he could finish speaking.
Mo Wen stopped vomiting and looked up, only to see that Lao Wu and his wife and the carriage they were driving had fallen into the ice cave, because the carriage was wooden, it did not sink immediately after falling into the water under the horse's struggle.
"Old Wu, grab the whip" Seeing this, Master Mo hurriedly got out of the car and ran to the edge of the ice cave to rescue.
"Dad, mother, I'm here to save you."
Xiao Wu jumped out of the carriage in a hurry and rushed forward.
"Don't come here," Seeing this, Master Mo hurriedly shouted to stop him.
But it was too late, there was already a crack in the ice, and before Xiao Wu could run to the crack, the ice collapsed again, and the two people on the ice and the second carriage fell into the water in an instant.
Mo Wen, who was originally frightened, suddenly became in chaos, and jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the ice cave driven by the instinct of blood and family affection, and reached out to pull his mother and Lin Ruochen who were closer to him, but once the ice surface was broken, he couldn't bear the weight at all, and the soles of his feet were light when he pulled it, and the ice water suddenly choked his mouth and nose.
Mo asked about the roughness of the water, and immediately held his breath after falling into the water, picked up Lin Ruochen, who had been awakened by the ice water, and lifted him on the ice, and then tried to rescue his mother, but his mother was middle-aged and blessed, and she was wearing cotton clothes, and the cotton clothes were heavy in the water, and she couldn't do it after several attempts.
The ice water was extremely cold, and after a while, Mo Wen felt that his body began to become numb and stiff, and when he looked to the side, he found that his father and Lao Wu had disappeared, and Xiao Wu was doing the same thing as him.
"What about my father," Mo Wen shouted at Xiao Wu.
"It's all washed away by the water, mother, what do you do, what do you do" Xiao Wuyu cried, although the river was frozen, the river under the ice was still flowing.
"Baby, save Madame."
Xiao Wu's mother struggled to break her son's fingers, and disappeared into the water in an instant.
"Mother" Xiao Wu cried and dived into the water to try to find it, how could he find it after several ups and downs.
Seeing that there was no hope, Xiao Wu struggled to swim over, and supported Mrs.
Mo upwards with Mo Wen, and the two of them finally pushed Mrs.
Mo's upper body onto the ice, but Mo Wen immediately felt abnormal, and his mother, who had been climbing upwards, suddenly did not move, and looked up, only to find that there was a ruler arrow inserted in the middle of the mother's forehead, and she was already dead.
A one-eyed bearded man was pulling the carriage that had not fallen into the water towards the north bank, Lin Ruochen and the maids were all in the car, and the excessive fright made them stunned.
"I'll fight with you."
The tragic death of his mother and the abduction of his wife made Mo Wen extremely sad and angry, and under his grief and anger, he quickly climbed onto the ice and rushed towards the Hu man tremblingly.
Mo Wen's shout alarmed the Hu man, who turned around and fired his bow with an arrow, the distance between the two sides was less than five zhang, and Mo Wen suddenly fell to the ice with an arrow in his chest.
Mo Wen did not lose consciousness immediately after being hit by the arrow, but he was unable to move under the serious injury, and could only watch the red on the carriage gradually fade away:
