When the waiter led the two of them through the corridor and headed straight to the kitchen, the surroundings were unusually quiet.
Logically speaking, this kind of environment at night is very normal, but for some reason, Mu Yue just felt uneasy. The fingers that were pinching Muchen's arm tightened instantly, then she clenched her teeth and her hair stood on end.
After Muchen sensed Mu Yue's emotions, he put his arms around Mu Yue's waist and held her tightly in his arms.
At this moment, Muchen discovered that the waiter in front of him had disappeared, and the surrounding environment had become messy, full of black marks and accompanied by bursts of foul smell.
Mu Chen's nerves tensed up instantly, and his eyes became sharp. After lowering his head to confirm Mu Yue's presence and safety, he focused his attention on observing his surroundings.
At some point, strange winds began to blow in the originally quiet environment.
Accompanied by the sound of "wooooo", Mu Chen hugged Mu Yue and continued to move forward.
Muchen silently calculated the time in his mind. After walking for about ten minutes, Muchen saw an open door.
The dark environment inside the room is like the tempting Pansi Cave, dangerous and treacherous.
Mu Chen looked around and found that there was no other room around except this one, so he had to take Mu Yue in carefully.
The door closed instantly after the two entered.
Mu Yue was startled by the sound of the door closing, and immediately wanted to let go of Mu Chen and leave this place.
Mu Chen quickly hugged Mu Yue's waist, making it impossible for Mu Yue to leave his arms, and then coaxed her softly: "Mu Mu, baby, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
While coaxing her, he did not forget to pat Mu Yue on the back.
Mu Yue's frightened heart slowly calmed down as Muchen kept comforting her.
Feeling that his emotions were not so high anymore, Mu Yue mustered up his courage, slowly raised his head, and wanted to take a look at his surroundings: He was originally a drag, so he should work harder and not be so useless!
Sensing Mu Yue's movements, Mu Chen moved his hands to press Mu Yue's head against his chest, but was stopped by Mu Yue's voice: "I want to see, I want to fight alongside you, even if I am terrible."
The four words "fight side by side" made Muchen's eyes slightly red, and his heart felt like being gently stroked by a feather: itchy.
There was no other way, so Mu Chen had to compromise: "Then Mu Mu, if you are scared, just hold me tight, I can protect you."
Mu Yue nodded in Muchen's arms, indicating that she understood.
Just as Mu Yue raised her head, the surrounding environment changed again.
The room was still the same room, but it was lit with a strange red light.
I saw a young girl kneeling beside the bed, tears streaming down her face, crying to a white-haired old man on the bed: "Daddy, it is because of my unfilial behavior that I have brought about such a disaster. Please let me atone for my sins."
The old man covered his chest and coughed violently: "Cough, cough, no, no, you are my daughter, absolutely not! Cough, no, cough, cough, no! Cough, cough, cough, at worst, we can run, run, this world does not belong to him alone, there will always be a place, cough, cough, cough, cough, where he can't find it!"
The girl sobbed, "Daddy, you can't let this whole family leave our hometown and destroy our ancestors' legacy. Daddy, just let your daughter go!"
The old man gasped for breath, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and between breaths, he could hear a loud snoring sound from his throat: "No, no, no, again, huhu, say, huhu, huhu, I, I will never die, huhu, I promise!"
The girl had no choice but to keep crying and finally ran out of the room.
At this time, a man who looked somewhat similar to the old man on the bed came in from outside the door: "Brother!"
The old man on the bed stretched his throat and responded in a low voice: "Hmm!"
The person who just came in looked relatively younger than the old man: "Brother, no one comes to the clinic for treatment now, and there are a lot of people making trouble these past two days. What should we do now?"
The old man struggled to sit up from the bed. Seeing this, the young old man hurried forward to support him. After seeing the old man sit up, he took a small stool and sat beside the bed to talk to the old man.
The old man shouted: "Then, huh, huh, then first, huh, close the door."
The young old man nodded and agreed, "Well, it's closed, but it can't keep going like this. We have to come up with some rules. The time given by the Marshal is only one day left. What should we do?"
The old man covered his chest with his hands, his eyes deep: "No matter...what happens, huh, I...will die...no...I won't...let my daughter...be my concubine!"
The young old man nodded: "It should be."
But then he changed the subject: "My good friend in the diplomatic field secretly told me that the north is under the jurisdiction of Marshal Xiao, and our Marshal Yuan is his sworn enemy. Otherwise, let's run! Go there! Marshal Yuan won't be able to find us! Our family has been an honest family since ancient times. My niece must never become someone's concubine!"
The old man covered his chest, breathed with difficulty, and kept thinking in his mind.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go there!"
As he spoke, the old man turned his head and looked at the man who looked somewhat like him. He tried hard to suppress the itch in his throat. "Afeng, you should secretly sell the property. If no one wants it, just leave it here. At night, find a chance to leave the city!"
The young old man pondered it in his heart, hardened his heart, and nodded: "Okay! Big brother, I'll do it now!"
Having said that, he stood up, turned around and walked out the door, leaving the old man alone on the bed, looking out the door with dim eyes, covering his chest, coughing violently, his voice wheezing.
The story ends here, and the red light dims.
Not long after that, there was a burst of shouting and screaming outside. Mu Yue turned her head and saw a group of people wearing light blue military uniforms, holding muskets in their hands, and started shooting at the people in the yard.
Everyone rolled and crawled backwards.
After the situation was suppressed, the people in light blue stood on both sides, and then a short, fat man in his forties wearing a heavy cloak walked in.
His eyes were filled with contempt, and there was a mocking smile on his lips: "You guys, are you trying to run away?"
As he spoke, his voice became louder and his tone became fierce: "Bring it up!"
At this time, two people in light blue military uniforms came up from behind the short and fat man. Both of them were dragging a black jacket with their arms. They lowered their heads and their legs dragged weakly on the ground.
