Before fleeing famine, I evacuated the Duke's mansion and stockpiled tens of billions of suppli

Chapter 2 Obscure Moon Was Caught
In a blink of an eye, the group of guards arrived at Xujia Village, but to Ozuki's surprise, the bamboo baskets carried by the farmer were not filled with levied grain, but children of five or six years old.

The children cried and cried on the edge of the basket with their frightened eyes open. A man in a toga with a crown and feathers on his head and a shoehorn face sat high on a horse and yelled at the crying children in the basket to shut up.

Ozuki thought, what's going on?The government has started selling children?
Feeling something was wrong, taking advantage of the guards being far away, Ozuki took her brother and ran to the house, locked the door latch immediately after entering the house, then hid under the window sill, listening to the movement in the village.

As soon as the guards entered the village, they knocked on the door from house to house. When the villagers saw the guards coming from a distance, they were afraid that they were coming to collect the food tax. They closed their doors early and pretended that there was no one at home. , choose to smash the door directly.

"Open the door!" The guard slammed the wooden door of Ozuki's house, shaking the earthen walls to the ground.

In the house, Ozuki tightly covered the mouth of the idiot brother, telling him not to make a sound.

A sharp-eyed guard saw a figure moving in the room through the gap in the wooden door, and immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone is hiding in the room! Break the door open!"

A few guards heard the news and stepped forward and kicked fiercely. The loose wooden door couldn't withstand tossing. Before Ozuki could react, the wooden door was kicked open. A few pieces of wild animal skins hung in his arms.

Obscure Moon's idiot brother was about to jump out to stop him, but Obscure Moon with quick eyesight and quick hands hastily pulled him back.

The King of Hades invites the little ghost to be difficult to deal with, there are many people on the opposite side, and the parents are not there right now, so it is not worth fighting over a few wild animals.

The guards got the benefits, and they didn't do anything to the Obscure Moon brothers and sisters, but just took them to the wheat field in the village.

In the village, more and more villagers were picked out by the guards, and then they were pushed and shoved to the wheat field. Those who walked slowly were beaten with sticks, and the field was full of wailing.

Leaning on crutches, the old village chief cupped his head and said, "Master, what are you doing? Our village just paid the food tax two days ago."

"We are not here to collect taxes this time." He held the knife in one hand, signaled the villagers to be quiet, then pointed to the shoehorn man sitting on the horseback and said, "This Lord is the chief steward of our Duke of Yu's mansion." , come to your village to do something today."

When they heard that they were from the Duke's Mansion, the field was quiet, and the villagers looked at each other, thinking, why did people from the Duke's Mansion come to our country?

The shoehorn man sitting high on the horse arched his hands and said: "There is a severe drought in the north of Henan. Our Duke of Yu is sympathetic to the people's livelihood. We have invited a priest with great powers. Three days later, we will sacrifice at the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain. At that time, we will need many Boys and girls are used as sacrifices, so today we came to the village to choose children, and the chosen ones can receive money."

As soon as this remark came out, the hearts of those with children in the village were raised in their throats. Who would want to let their children die.

Obscure Moon heard that there was going to be a human sacrifice, and she was also very surprised. She had only seen such things as child sacrifices in TV dramas and novels before, but she never thought that one day it would happen to her.
"Bring up all the children in the village and let the housekeeper take a look." The messenger ordered to the guards.

The guards got the order and began to snatch the children from the villagers. Some villagers who held the children and did not let go were beaten by the guards with sticks. Forced to go back.

Ozuki and her brother were dragged out of the crowd by the guards, and her idiot brother didn't know what happened, and made faces at his sister with a cheerful face.

The children in the village were all driven to the open space of the rice field. The big steward of Yuguo Mansion looked over one by one. Most of the children in the village were sallow and skinny due to hunger, and a few children looked sick. look.

The big housekeeper shook his head, not many of them could see it clearly.

When he saw Miyue, the head steward's eyes lit up, pointed to Miyue and said, "This girl looks good, so let's take her away." death penalty.

Seeing that it was not their own child who was picked away, the villagers on the field were relieved.

Obscure Moon, who won the bid, was also speechless, blinking a pair of big innocent eyes: "What? Why should I be sacrificed to heaven for being good-looking."

Before Ozuki could respond, the guard stretched out his hand to pick her up like a chicken.

Seeing that his sister was about to be taken away, Ozuki's unresponsive idiot brother finally realized that something was wrong, and then without saying a word, he rammed into the guard like a calf with all his strength, and the guard who was holding Ozuki was forced to be killed. He hit and flew more than ten meters.

In the process of crashing into the sky, Ozuki was also caught by her brother, and then wrapped in his arms.

I almost saw someone dare to resist, and suddenly felt that my majesty was being provoked, and there were people from the Duke's Mansion watching, so he cursed harshly: "How dare you attack an official? This is a rebellion! Give him to me!" Take it!"

With an order, several guards with sticks surrounded the brother and sister. Seeing this, the young man picked up his sister with one hand and held her tightly in his arms. He bared his teeth at the guards who surrounded him, his eyes fierce like a wolf's. .

The guards carrying weapons took advantage of the large number of people to rush forward, and they were bound to take the two away.

Facing the vicious servant, Ozuki was firmly protected by her brother, and a warm current surged in her heart.

Obscure Moon's idiot brother fought with everyone while protecting his younger sister, but he didn't lose the slightest bit.

But soon, the cunning guard saw that the weak point of this fool was the little girl in his arms, so Qi Qi attacked the obscuring moon in his arms instead.

Seeing this, Ozuki cursed in her heart, these bastards are shameless, so many people surrounded and beat a fool and a six-year-old girl.

In order to prevent the younger sister in his arms from being hurt, the idiot brother who tied his hands and feet could only dodge with all his strength, and if he couldn't dodge, he could only use his body to resist.

The heavy sticks fell like raindrops, hitting the fool's head, shoulders, waist, and legs with a piercing sound.

Blood gradually overflowed from his forehead and the corners of his mouth, but the idiot brother remained silent, protecting his sister in his arms like a lone wolf protecting its cubs.

Obscure Moon felt distressed for a while, the kind of pain in the heart.

"Brother, you will be beaten to death if you go on like this, let me go, I will go with them, I will be fine." Ozuki couldn't bear to let her idiot brother get hurt again.

Obscure Moon looked around and saw that the surrounding villagers had already dispersed, and it seemed that no one would take care of them anymore, and felt a little chilled for a moment, this is to sweep the snow in front of the door, regardless of the frost on others' tiles.

Now that the parents haven't come back, the best way now is to go with them first, and then find a way to escape.

"Brother, let me go, I'll be fine." Ozuki said with her arms around her brother's neck.

The young man supported his precarious body, then shook his head slightly towards his sister, his originally cloudy eyes became extremely firm.

What he meant was that nothing could separate him from his sister today except death.

An officer took advantage of the gap between the siblings' conversation, walked around behind the two of them, and hit the elder brother's leg with a heavy stick.

The weakest joint of the leg was hit hard, and the elder brother was directly beaten to his knees, and he did not forget to protect the moon in his arms before falling down.

"Brother!" Obscure Moon exclaimed with a crying voice, and was so sad that she couldn't speak for a moment, no one had ever protected her so desperately.

After Brother Luyue fell down, he was immediately pinned to the ground with sticks by a group of guards, and then he was tied up with ropes.

The red-eyed Ozuki, like an angry little rabbit, gnawed at the officer's arm, and the officer threw Ozuki away with pain in his hand.

Obscure Moon who fell to the ground splashed dust all over the ground, her originally white and tender face became gray, and tears rolled in her eye sockets. At this moment, she was only angry that she was too weak to be as strong as A Niang.

Obscure Moon wiped away her tears unconvinced, the tears on her face were mixed with dust, she instantly wiped herself into a little cat.

The little cat Ozuki stared at the guard with her big eyes, as if she could punch two holes out of a person in the next second.

If Shen Yinxing saw this stubborn and pitiful look, he probably would have lost his temper and picked up a kitchen knife and wiped out the whole audience one by one.

The guards didn't pay attention to the hostility of a six-year-old girl at all, and dragged Ozuki's idiot brother to the ground with a rope, walking in front of him braggingly, a shocking bloodstain was dragged on the ground.

When the victorious guards were about to leave the village, they were blocked at the entrance of the village by a group of villagers holding hoes and harpoons. Even the old village chief with a gray beard raised a cane in his hand.

Ozuki's eyes were a little moist watching this scene, it turned out that everyone didn't ignore them, but went back to the house to get their weapons.

Just, why didn't you come sooner?
"Put down the dolls of our Xujia Village!" The old village chief put the crutch in his hand on the poor man's nose.

"Yes! Put it down!" A group of villagers holding hoes echoed.

The poor head scolded angrily: "What? Is your entire Xujia Village going to rebel!" Seeing this, the guards drew their knives one after another, and there was a chill on the shining blade.
