Chapter 478 Finally arrived here alive

He paused and looked towards the source of the sound in the moonlight.

A black shadow was chased by a group of dogs, stumbling towards the Mo family, but fell down in the blink of an eye.

The Mo brothers had not gone far yet, so they ran back together and walked towards the fallen black shadow.

Dogs understand human nature. If strangers who come to the Mo family do not hurt anyone, they will just make noises to drive them away and will not bite them.

The eldest brother took the first step to straighten the person who fell.

People who practice martial arts have good night vision. He looked at the person in the moonlight and did not recognize him.

At this time, Mo Jiuye also came over. After seeing who it was, he was a little shocked.

Seeing his expression, the brothers could be sure that the ninth brother knew this person.

"Ninth brother, who is he?" asked the eldest brother.

"He is Zhou Laoba, the official sent by the court to escort us to the northwest. He is a pretty good man. Let's carry him back and see what's going on."

As Mo Jiuye spoke, he was already preparing to go forward and carry the person.

This place was closest to the old couple's yard, so the brothers carried Zhou Laoba to the side room.

He looked at Zhou Laoba carefully in the light of the oil lamp.

He was much thinner than when he separated from the Mo family. His ordinary face was covered with scabbed scars, his lips were chapped, and he looked as if he was dead.

Mo Jiuye learned some medical knowledge from He Zhiran. His husband felt Zhou Laoba's pulse. Although it was a little weak, he could still feel it.

As for why Zhou Laoba fell into a coma, he could not come to a conclusion.

Logically, this situation could be solved by He Zhiran with just a glance, but He Zhiran was in confinement at the time and it was not convenient for her to go out and help Zhou Laoba check his body.

Mo Jiuye had an idea and thought of his brother-in-law.

Although He Ziming is known as a gynecological expert, he is also a doctor and it is impossible that he can only treat women's diseases.

Mo Jiuye whispered, "Someone go and invite my uncle over."

"I'll go." Meng Huaining took the initiative to step forward.

Today he has made his position clear in front of his father-in-law, and naturally he will spare no effort in the affairs of the Mohist school.

Soon, Meng Huaining brought He Ziming over.

After He Ziming took Zhou Laoba's pulse, he said, "He must have not eaten for many days, and he also has internal injuries."

When it comes to internal injuries, no one knows more than the Mo brothers.

They are all martial artists and often suffer internal injuries on the battlefield.

Mo Jiuye stepped forward and ripped open Zhou Laoba's shirt. Apart from being thin, there was nothing wrong with the front of his body.

He carefully turned the man over again, and saw countless whip marks.

The whip marks have already scabbed over, but from the depth of the scabs, one can tell that the person who did it was extremely strong.

This is the rhythm of beating people to death.

There is no doubt that the internal injuries He Ziming mentioned came from these whip marks.

Mo Jiuye looked at He Ziming: "Brother, please help heal him."

"I'll give him acupuncture first to help him wake up. He should feel better after eating something. His internal injuries are not a minor problem and need to be treated slowly."

He Ziming's movements were also quick. As soon as he finished speaking, the silver needle in his hand had already accurately pierced Zhou Laoba's acupoint.

After about an incense stick of time, Zhou Laoba finally woke up.

After looking around, he finally fixed his gaze on Mo Jiuye.

"I... I'm not dreaming, am I? I finally made it here alive."

Mo Jiuye did not answer him immediately, but brought a bowl of water to him.

"Drink some water first, and then take your time to talk."

Zhou Laoba wanted to reach out and take the cup of water that Mo Jiuye handed over, but he felt that he had no strength in his body.

Mo Jiuye had a good impression of Peng Wang, Zhou Laoba and others. Even though Zhou Laoba had a misunderstanding with his wife, it was just a misunderstanding after all. He was not so petty as to hold a grudge because of it.

He personally brought the water to Zhou Laoba.

"I'll hold you up, drink some water first."

Zhou Laoba drank a few sips of water and felt his throat was finally less dry.

His tone was a little hurried:

"Mo Jiuye, take your family and hide!"

Mo Jiuye frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Zhou Laoba was still very weak at this time, but he always felt that the matter was urgent. If he didn't speak it out earlier, all the suffering he had suffered during this period would be in vain.

"Twenty days ago, the chief and the officers who were escorting you were taken to a dungeon one after another.

There, those people tortured us severely and forced us to tell them the whole process of escorting Mojia to exile.

We are just trying to make a living in the government office, and we have never seen such a ferocious scene. Let's put our heads together and confess everything about escorting you to the northwest."

"Do you know who arrested you?" Mo Jiuye did not ask about the content of their confession. It went without saying that those officers would tell everything in order to survive.

He had nothing to worry about except the fact that he had saved the starling on the way, which the officers knew about.

"On the night we were arrested, I vaguely heard two guards talking about Prime Minister Xue.

The two men had no intention of betraying anyone when they spoke, so the boss guessed that they might want to kill people to silence them.

As a result, what we feared came true. Not long after, a large group of people came and whipped us without any explanation.

I was at the innermost part at the time, and I could turn my back while someone was blocking my way, and they whipped me hard on the back.

I watched my brothers fall one by one, and then I imitated them and pretended to be unconscious.

Fortunately, I was more careful. After fighting for a while, someone said, "Check if we are still alive. If not, continue fighting."

At that time, I heard them say that when we died, we would all be thrown into a mass grave.

At that time, I could no longer hear the groans of my brothers, so I could only continue to pretend to be dead and fight for a chance to survive.

Luckily, those people didn't check too carefully, and I held my breath so they didn't notice anything."

At this point, Zhou Laoba began to cry loudly.

"I waited for those people to leave, and when I climbed out of the mass grave, I found that my brothers had all passed away... Wuwuwu..."

When Mo Jiuye heard Zhou Laoba say that all his brothers had died, his heart was extremely sad.

"Where's Brother Peng? Was he also beaten to death by those people?"

Zhou Laoba nodded while crying: "The boss was beaten the hardest because he was unwilling to tell the situation of the Mo family.

Those people believed that he was the leader in charge of the escort and insisted on getting more information from him.

When those people wanted to silence us, the leader was only hanging on by a thread. After we were thrown into the mass grave, I went to check on the leader, and his body was already stiff... wuwuwu..."

Mo Jiuye slammed his fist on the table beside him and said through gritted teeth, "What a bunch of unscrupulous bastards."
