Chapter 31
They really have a good understanding, Mu Zhixu thought in his heart.

Because they were forced to turn back, they chose to go to the southwest, which has already left many refugees behind, and they can hardly find food on the road. Once they can't find food, the extremely hungry refugees will attack others.

On the surface, they seem to be the best targets.

Among them, Mu Zhixu is 13 years old and looks like 11 years old. Mu Zhihe is [-] years old and is similar to Mu Zhixu, but slightly taller. Gu Lin is [-] years old and taller, but at a glance It turned out to be a teenager.

Can't frighten others.

"You want to bring someone else together?" Mu Zhixu's eyes moved, and he glanced at the Wu and Zhao families who had been following them at a distance.

These two families are obviously strong and labor-intensive.

The refugees will also be afraid.

"Well, you've also thought of it, they will follow anyway, it's okay to go together."

"Then I'll go over and talk to them later."

"No, they will come by themselves later." Gu Lin drank the dried fish soup.

"What did you do?" Mu Zhixu looked at him with interest.

Gu Lin didn't raise her head, "It's nothing, when I went to the mountains early in the morning, I casually showed a few hands and chatted with them."

"It's fast enough."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

"...Why are you imitating my thick skin!" Mu Zhixu stared!

Gu Lin: "..."

Mu Zhixu was in a good mood when he saw the corners of Gu Lin's mouth twitching slightly, and he raised his head and drank a bowl of fish soup.

Sure enough, as soon as they cleaned up the dishes, the Wu and Zhao families came, Wu Sanshui and Zhao Dahe.

"Miss Mu! Brother Gu!" The two greeted each other and sat down.

"I don't know why the two of you are here?" Mu Zhixu asked knowingly.

Wu Sanshui and Wu Sanshui looked at each other, and said, "Miss Mu, you should have seen the plight of the refugees below, this road may not be easy..."

"Anyway, we all have the same purpose. How about going together in order to survive?"

Mu Zhixu glanced at them, "How do we go together?"

She wanted to travel together, but she didn't want to burden herself either.

She took a fancy to the strong labor of the Wu and Zhao families, but the Wu and Zhao families also took a fancy to her medical skills.

Even, her and Gu Lin's skills can win them a favorable situation in a bad situation.

Zhao Dahe is a shrewd person, he knew that Mu Zhixu was not easy to fool, so he had already thought about it, "Fight against the enemy together, unanimously external, and you separate the rest."

Such as food.

They have food in their hands, even if they don't, a few strong workers in the family can always find something to eat if they work harder.

"Okay, it's okay to be together, but the ugly words are up front. If I find out that someone has been stabbed in the back, don't blame me for turning against them!" Mu Zhixu likes to be straightforward, so it's better to make it clear in advance.

Wu Sanshui and Zhao Dahe looked at each other and nodded, "We think so too."

No one likes to be betrayed.

"That's it."

"By the way, we are already together, I have to ask where your destination is?" Mu Zhixu looked at the two of them.

Wu Sanshui said without hesitation, "I'm not afraid of Miss Mu's jokes, we are determined to follow her."

For some reason, he subconsciously felt that following the person in front of him was right.

At first everyone in the family thought he was crazy.

The few times he experienced later proved that his intuition was correct.

Zhao Dahe glanced at Wu Sanshui, and said, "Me too."

Mu Zhixu smiled, "We plan to go to the southwest. There must be a lot of refugees passing by along the way, so we have to hurry up."

"Okay, let's pack up and go!"

After the two left, Gu Lin glanced at Mu Zhixu, "Are you afraid that there will be rebels coming?"

"Well, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

It is normal to catch strong men in troubled times, and I think this is one of the reasons why refugees run away.

When the two were talking, Mu Zhihe had already brought Mu Shen and the others to pack their things.

Each person has a burden, carrying an earthen pot, which contains several people's bowls and chopsticks, and everyone set off again.

This time, the Wu and Zhao families joined Mu Zhixu and the others in an aboveboard manner.

We also got to know each other again.

Wu Sanshui's daughter-in-law, Niu Shi, has two sons and a daughter. The sons are Wu Da and Wu Er, the daughter is Sanya, and his younger brother Wu Sishui.

Zhao Dahe's daughter-in-law Zhang, two sons Zhao Da and Zhao Er, daughter Taohua, his younger brother Zhao Erhe, and daughter-in-law Wu!

The sons of the two families are all seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys, and they are also tall and big, which is quite bluffing.

He joined seven or eight strong laborers in the team at once, and Mu Zhixu found that the eyes he looked at them in the morning were less.

She and Gu Lin looked at each other, and they both saw the smiles in each other's eyes.

The sun rose and the moon set, and a group of people walked together for more than ten days without encountering any danger.

It's just that the further to the southwest, the less food there is on the road.

The refugees are like locusts crossing the border. There is no green on the roadside, and the ground in the mountains and forests is also bare.

There are also more and more corpses of refugees on the road. The weather is hot and the rate of decay is fast.

Mu Zhixu covered his face and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Gu Lin lowered his voice.

"There is no one to dispose of the corpses on the road. Let the corpses be exposed to the wilderness. If things go on like this, you may get an epidemic!"

A sarcasm appeared in Gu Lin's eyes, "There will always be a day when King Zhennan will regret it!"

Mu Zhixu suddenly tilted his head, and caught the deep hatred flashing in Gu Lin's eyes.

She froze for a moment, then put it away, "If you suffer a loss, you will take action. Anyway, we don't care, let's go."

The emotion in Gu Lin's eyes has long been put away, "The front should be the junction of Yongning Mansion and Qing'an Mansion, Luo County, we can repair there, add some food, and then go on our way."

They discussed to go to Zhaoling Mansion in the southwest.

To go to Zhaoling, you have to go through Qing'an, Rongchuan, and finally Liujiang Mansion to reach Zhaoling.

As far as this route is concerned, if you take the official road and take a horse-drawn carriage, it will take more than three months. If you only rely on two legs, plus the constant occurrences on the road, it will take half a year.

"Well, it just so happens that we are out of food, so go get some more." There were so many people in the team, Mu Zhixu was very careful not to take any food from the space.

The food she ate recently was all made by her and Gu Lin.

There is nothing to eat outside the forest, and they have to go deep into the mountains every time. Fortunately, they have good skills.

Otherwise, I would have explained it long ago.

Mu Zhixu took a few steps forward, and said to Zhao Dahe and Wu Sanshui in front of him, "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Wu, after walking for half a day, we should be able to reach Luo County. We don't stop on the way, and go directly to Luo County for repairs."

In the past ten days, Mu Zhixu gradually became the backbone of the team.

Wu and Zhao didn't know why she knew Luo County was ahead, but they didn't question it either.

They also ran out of food.

"Okay, then I won't rest." Wu Sanshui said.

"However, I don't know if Luo County can go in." Zhao Dahe worried.

They also encountered villages on the way, but the people in the villages were as if they were facing an enemy, and they never let the refugees stay overnight.
