Chapter 91 0090: Leave the city!
"Oh!"

Cheng Zongyang brought his second aunt to the door of an abandoned house in the south of the city. He kicked away a refugee with a ferocious face who was chasing him, and then swung his knife to kill two people who were trying to grab his second aunt.

"Second Aunt, let's go!"

Cheng Zongyang's skill in killing with a knife and his blood-stained appearance frightened the other refugees who were ready to make a move.

Seeing that they didn't dare to come forward, he watched them slowly retreat and then entered the house.

Seeing that the refugees did not dare to chase them, he closed the tattered wooden door, then took his second aunt and quickly walked to the back door of the house.

He ran all the way here to kill!
There were so many refugees, and they all looked crazy. He almost ran to a remote place before he arrived at his destination safely.

Through the back door of this house, you enter a corner of the city wall. Only through the back door of this house can you pass through this area of ​​several almost abandoned and collapsed dilapidated houses.

After chopping off numerous vines and plants with the long knife in his hand, a hidden path was revealed.

The path had traces of frequent foot traffic and led to another direction. There was also some animal feces and carcasses of cats and dogs around.

This was the place he knew through the beggars.

Through this path, Cheng Zongyang carefully came to a corner of the city wall. After some searching, he saw a place that was almost covered by weeds, but still showed signs of having been moved.

But the beggars said that the other end of the cave was blocked by rocks outside the city wall and it was impossible to get out. Now he could only try it himself.

He guessed that the many stones in the hands of the refugees must have come from the pile of stones outside the city wall.

After simply clearing the weeds at the entrance of the cave, Cheng Zongyang said quickly:

"Second Aunt, this is it. I'll go over there and take a look at the situation first, and then you follow me."

"Okay." Cheng Chen, who was pale and weak all over, said with the breath in her heart.

This location is the dog hole.

The opening was originally very small, but the beggars somehow managed to widen it a little, making it large enough for one person to go in and out.

Of course, they have to be smaller in size, as fatter people would be easily stuck. Beggars are all thin, so the width of the punch is also to accommodate their entry and exit.

Although Cheng Zongyang is a little stronger, he can still squeeze in.

Cheng Chen didn't expect that her nephew actually knew there was a dog hole here!

But she had no time to be surprised. She nervously looked around to see if anyone was following her. At the same time, she squatted down nervously, waiting for notification from the other side.

Here, Cheng Zongyang slowly squeezed through the dog hole and soon saw that the other end of the hole was blocked by something.

He tried to push it out with his hands, and easily pushed the stone blocking the cave entrance out.

He quickly squeezed his body and got out from the other end. He looked around. Although the smell was terrible, the refugees had basically run away, leaving behind only a mess on the ground and some corpses that might have starved to death or been beaten to death.

He was also located on a pile of rocks on the city wall.

These stones were used to repair city walls or streets.

The stones are piled at the foot of the city wall, which can be used to protect the wall and can be called upon at any time.

However, these stone piles were pushed to scattered places, and judging from the traces of the city wall, more than half of them were obviously missing. As he expected, they must have been taken away and smashed by the refugees and used as weapons.

It is precisely because of this that the number of stones at the entrance of the dog hole is reduced, otherwise Cheng Zongyang would not be able to push it out.

Seeing that it was relatively safe outside, he hurriedly called out to his second aunt who was inside the cave.

Cheng Chen, who was of a rather frail stature, heard her nephew's voice outside, and hurriedly lowered her head and lay on the ground, trying to get out through the dog hole.

Although the space was narrow, it was still possible to crawl out with a little squeeze. There were some marks of being smashed at the entrance of the cave, and there were also some sharp parts. Cheng Chen's skin was not as thick and tough as Cheng Zongyang's, so there were a few red wounds on it.

After coming out, Cheng Chen tidied up her messy hair and asked quickly, "What should we do now?"

Cheng Zongyang said, "Let's go back to the mountains now."

So, Cheng Zongyang continued to hold the knife and quickly left the county town with his second aunt.

Although they were at the South Gate, they could still take a detour to the west of the city and return to Jinqiao Village.

When leaving, Cheng Zongyang saw a large number of refugees blocking the city gate and continuing to rush in.

They all knew that the door was their lifeline. If they didn't go in, they would die outside!
So everyone pushed and shoved desperately, and there were even many bodies of refugees trampled to death on the ground due to the pushing and shoving.

Cheng Chen did not dare to look at those cruel scenes. Her face had not recovered from the beginning to the end, and she still revealed panic and fear.

If it weren't for my nephew, I'm afraid both of them would have died in the city.

At this time, she was also worried about her husband's condition. However, her nephew said that he had asked the yamen officials to send him to the forest outside the city to wait, so she felt a little relieved.

Cheng Zongyang and Cheng Chen were dressed no differently from farmers, and their blood-stained appearance after running all the way meant that the refugees had no regard for them at all.

The refugees no longer cared about what was happening outside the city; the city was their target, so Cheng Zongyang and his second aunt safely bypassed the southern area of ​​the city and arrived at the west.

Looking at the trampled corpses on the ground at the west gate of the city, and the crowd still blocking the gate, I felt a chill in my heart.

There was no telling how many people in the city had suffered. Similarly, all the warriors from the government offices, wealthy families, and powerful people were mobilized. I was afraid that the number of casualties would be a number that he could hardly imagine.

The disaster that had been buried long ago has now erupted, and it was destined in the dark.

Cheng Zongyang had no idea what County Lord Chang Younian was planning, nor did he know what the six families and four gangs were fighting for.

But at this moment, they can only unite as one and suppress the refugees first.

If you feed the tiger, you will be bitten by it. If you play with fire, you will get burned. This is obviously a case of Chang Younian playing too hard.

Just as he was about to enter the official road, he suddenly saw a man kneeling on the ground with his head lowered. There was a hatchet stuck in the ground in front of him, and seven or eight people were lying beside him.

Cheng Zongyang noticed that the other person had a wound on his neck. This should be the cause of his death.

The blood had already soaked his whole body, flowing all over the ground, and was completely absorbed by the water-starved and dry land.

He didn't know whether this man committed suicide, but judging from the situation of the people around him, it didn't seem like suicide.

Without further speculation, he turned away and left quickly along the official road.

At this moment, not far away from the official road, two middle-aged men in tattered clothes were standing there quietly, looking in the direction of the city gate.

Cheng Zongyang's face was stained with blood, and he didn't look at them. He could only sense the aura of these two people, they were warriors.

He just wanted to leave as soon as possible and didn't want to get into any trouble.

Just as he passed by, he took a glance and noticed that the faces and figures of the two men seemed somewhat familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen them.

The two sloppy middle-aged men ignored Cheng Zongyang. Although they also felt some warrior aura from Cheng Zongyang, seeing his condition and the unarmed and ordinary-looking woman behind him, they didn't pay any attention to him at all.

The two sides staggered like this.

 Future updates will be at midnight and around 1 p.m.

  Also, the New Year is coming soon, everyone should go home for the holidays, right? I wish you a safe journey!
