Chapter 65 Oh my god! The village was destroyed
The originally peaceful Jiuyang Village was now in a state of chaos.
A cavalry team of hundreds of people rode horses and burned, killed and looted the village.
"Someone come and help!"
"You bunch of beasts."
"Ahhhh..."
The villagers' cries for help, screams, and various wails rang out.
Gu Chan and Ma Zheng were hiding behind the big tree when they entered the village and witnessed this tragic situation with their own eyes.
Ma Zheng was so anxious that he cried, "My grandma is still in the village, I have to save her."
"Calm down, don't worry, with your little ability, you will die if you go in." Gu Chan quickly grabbed him.
"Then what should we do! Are we just going to watch them kill people?" Ma Zheng said while crying, unable to stop his tears.
Gu Chan took a closer look at the cavalry plundering the village and found that the armor they wore was different from the armor of the Tiancang Kingdom soldiers.
"This is the enemy's cavalry."
"They are from the Earth and Moon Kingdom. I said there was something wrong with the death of the man in black from Tianji Pavilion yesterday. It seems that the Earth and Moon Kingdom really crossed the forest and came to attack the border of our Tiancang Kingdom."
"Don't worry, you see, apart from robbing food and burning down houses, they didn't kill the villagers. It's just that some villagers were hit by knives, but they were not killed directly." Gu Chan looked at the situation in front of him and analyzed it rationally.
If the Earth and Moon Kingdom really wanted to massacre the village, I am afraid that the villagers would have died long ago, but now everyone is still wailing and screaming, which proves that this group of cavalry has no idea of massacring the village.
So what was their purpose in burning down the village?
Is it just to provoke a war between the two countries?
Thinking of this, Gu Chan made a decision immediately, "Let's go, let's find a place to hide first, and wait until they leave later."
"What about your grandfather and my grandmother?" Ma Zheng asked.
"Believe me, the Earth-Moon Cavalry is definitely not here to kill people this time. They have other purposes, and they definitely intend to keep these villagers alive." Gu Chan said firmly.
Ma Zheng suddenly became quiet after hearing what she said.
Then the two hurriedly ran to a nearby haystack and hid.
And the fact is just as Gu Chan said.
After this group of hundreds of cavalrymen robbed the food and destroyed the village, the leading general directly ordered his cavalry to drive all the villagers of Jiuyang Village under the big tree at the entrance of the village and surround them.
The general was riding on his war horse, holding Gu Chan's cute little fox in his arms, and shouted to all the villagers, "Listen, today we are not here to massacre the village, we are just here to occupy this land, give it to you Move everyone out of here in one night and go to Wuheng County to tell your magistrate that from now on this land and the entire forest behind it will belong to our Earth and Moon Kingdom. "
"Obviously half of the forest belongs to our Tiancang Kingdom, they want to take it all!"
"The Earth-Moon Kingdom has such a big appetite, it's so ambitious."
"I have long heard that the Earth Moon Kingdom and the Heavenly Cang Kingdom are at odds with each other. This day has finally arrived!"
When the villagers heard what the general said, they all murmured quietly.
Everyone never expected that the Earth-Moon Kingdom's offensive was so fierce. Even the cavalry team of hundreds of people had crossed the big forest and entered the territory of Tiancang Kingdom, and the border garrison had not yet reacted.
As a result, all the villagers present will have to suffer the consequences of having to relocate overnight.
The general ignored everyone's comments and shouted angrily, "After midnight, we will come back to take over this place. If anyone else appears here, we will kill them without mercy."
After saying that, the general and hundreds of cavalrymen quickly left with all the villagers' food, money, and the only four livestock in the village.
As soon as they left, the villagers all collapsed on the ground, crying and howling. No one was not sad. At this time, the village chief He Fengyang stood up and shouted to everyone, "Okay, don't cry, everyone. It's good to be able to save our lives. The current plan is to go to Wuheng County to find the county magistrate for resettlement. Take this news with you, otherwise you will have to wait for death if you stay here.”
"That's right, there is nothing to cry about. Please stop crying. In this case, we can just move to the county and no longer have to live in such a poor mountain village."
Gu Chan suddenly jumped out of the haystack and immediately shouted to everyone following the village chief's words.
Ma Zheng rushed out from behind her and ran quickly towards grandma Ding Meihua, who was sitting slumped in the crowd in front.
"Grandma, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just a little injured, nothing serious."
"Woooooooo..."
The grandmother and grandson hugged each other and burst into tears.
The villagers all cried secretly when they saw it, and they were all very sad.
Zhang Wanshan also got up and walked to Gu Chan, squatted down and hugged her, crying, "Gu Chan, grandpa, I'm sorry for you! I'm useless, I couldn't save your little fox cub, and even the money we saved is gone." robbed."
"Grandpa is fine. There is nothing we can do if something like this happens. We are all the same. We have to be strong." Gu Chan pushed Grandpa away and held her fist to comfort him.
Zhang Wanshan cried so hard that he burst into tears, "We are all poor people in a small mountain village, what will happen if we go to the county? Firstly, we have no place to stay, and secondly, we have no money, so even eating is a problem!" "
"..." Gu Chan.
She is not a savior.
Even if the county magistrate wants to give her a three-story building later, it won't be able to accommodate the hundreds of villagers present!
At this time, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness. It wasn't that she didn't want to help everyone, but that she was really powerless.
He Fengyang said in time, "Everyone, this is the most difficult time for everyone. You can only rely on yourself for everything. If you have relatives and friends in the county, you can come with us to the county to join them. If not, you can see what you like. Go to some other village and find a way to settle down there!”
"I have no relatives or friends in the county, but I have them in another village. I will go to that village to seek refuge."
"Me too, I'll go to other villages too."
"Then let's all find a place to stay!"
As soon as the village chief said these words, many villagers started to shout in reply.
Then more than half of the villagers stood up and helped each other to leave.
After a while, only about forty villagers were left standing under the big tree waiting.
Gu Chan looked at everyone and asked, "Do you have relatives and friends in the county?"
"We have no relatives or friends in the county or other villages, so now we can only follow the village chief."
"Yes! We don't know where we are going."
"We can only go to the county and have a look first before talking."
Everyone complained.
Gu Chan immediately stretched out her hand to touch her forehead, her whole head was enlarged.
She thought all these people were in the county! But judging from the current situation, she is indeed overthinking.
This group of people actually had nowhere to go and had no choice but to follow the village chief!
