Chapter 232 Going to the Mountain
I saw that the silver hairpin slowly began to appear a hint of black.
From bottom to top, it gets darker.
"Mom, you..."
Zhao Xiaoyong's face changed drastically. He looked at his mother in disbelief and suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain.
He overturned the table and rolled to the ground, holding his stomach.
"Mother, why? I'm your son, your only son!"
"No, my son died three years ago. What came back is just a shell."
Aunt Goose stood up and looked at him coldly, without any trace of the loving kindness she had shown before.
"I heard everything you said to the Xiliao people last night. You killed Xiaolian, and you still want to harm the people of Liangzhou City."
"How could you hear it? I clearly..."
"Yes, you drugged me, but you don't know that since my son died, I couldn't sleep all night and had to drink some hallucinogens to help me sleep.
Ordinary hallucinogens are no longer effective for me..."
There was a moment of heartache in Zhao Xiaoyong's eyes, and then he felt a burning pain in his chest. He hurriedly took out a packet of antidote and swallowed it in one gulp.
"It's useless. It's extremely poisonous and has no antidote. It's used to kill rats."
Thanks to the ingredients given by the elder sister of the Huo family, the unpleasant smell of the medicine was covered up.
"Mom, you have such a cruel heart! Do you know how your son has been living these years?" Zhao Xiaoyong shouted in grief and anger.
"We didn't encounter any robbers at all. It was the escort agency that sold us out to a dark fighting arena for people to watch and gamble on...
We were tied up in cages like animals and could only come out when we had to fight. The loser would not get any food.
In less than three months, everyone who went with me was dead!
Look at the injuries on my body, look at..."
Zhao Xiaoyong tore his clothes.
His body was covered with all kinds of scars, and there was hardly a single healthy spot.
Aunt Goose finally couldn't hold it anymore, tears in her eyes, she squatted down and touched the scars on her son's body with trembling hands.
She actually took a quick look at her son when he was taking a bath, and only saw a few scars on his back, and thought they were caused by the robbers.
I didn't expect he had been through all this.
There are so many scars, some deep, some shallow, it must be so painful.
Aunt Goose was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
"Mom, why should we be treated like animals? I don't want to be an animal anymore. I only know that those people saved me and allowed me to be a human being.
Wouldn't it be better for this land to have a better owner than it has now?"
Zhao Xiaoyong took out a signal bamboo tube and started climbing out.
He can still be saved.
They have a witch doctor with great medical skills who can save him.
My eyes went dark.
Aunt Goose walked past him and closed the door that symbolized life.
The light from outside can no longer shine in.
"Xiaoyong, you are too naive.
You haven't seen what the Western Liao people are really like.
Do you know why my mother can understand Xiliao dialect?"
Aunt Goose's eyes revealed a bone-chilling hatred and a fear that was engraved in her bones and would never be erased.
"My mother is from Yangguan, and was abducted by the Western Liao people during the war... You said you were locked in a cage like an animal. Is it possible that it was the Western Liao people who did it?"
Because she has experienced it too!
The cruelty of the Western Liao people is beyond the imagination of the people of Dongyang.
They really enjoy eating people!
"If they become the masters of this land, the Dongyang people will be exterminated!"
"No, it's impossible, it won't happen, mother. My wife is the daughter of a great lord. They promised... Mother, it hurts. Please let me out, mother, please..."
Big mouthfuls of blood gushed out of Zhao Xiaoyong's mouth.
So is the corner of Aunt Goose's mouth.
"It doesn't hurt, Xiaoyong. It will soon be gone. Mom will be with you and protect you." Aunt Goose hugged her son.
"Get out of here, you're not my mother, get out of here... Hahahahaha... They're coming soon, we're all going to die, we're all going to die, hahahaha...
It’s too late, Mom, you discovered it too late, hahaha…”
Zhao Xiaoyong died in extreme unwillingness.
Aunt Goose used the last of her strength to set the house on fire.
When the villagers rushed to put out the fire, Aunt Goose had already crawled into the yard.
"The Western Liao people are coming, run... run quickly..."
"Old Zhao family, I'm sorry, everyone..."
The villagers didn't understand at first and thought she was confused again, so they all rushed to put out the fire.
Only the old lady who came with them came forward.
"Xiao Yong's mother, what did you say?"
"Western Liao is coming... Xiaoyong, they're spies... Old sister, quickly get the villagers to run..."
The old lady had lived in the frontier for several years and had experienced such a situation once.
The enemy had already entered the city before the city gate was breached.
When Zhao Xiaoyong returned home, there was a problem with the water source and the villagers began to get sick... People from Xiliao!
At this moment, it all came together.
"Pants...pants..."
"What did you say?" Aunt Goose's voice was too weak to be heard clearly.
The old lady leaned hard towards her mouth.
"Kuku...bastard, kill him, kill him, don't leave him alive..." Aunt Goose closed her eyes, but her hands were still tightly holding the old lady.
It seems like there are still some unfulfilled wishes.
"Let's go! Stop fighting the fire and notify the villagers to hide in the East Mountain!" the old lady shouted.
The mountains and forests in the east lead directly to Jincheng, and the people left by the Huo family are all in Donglin.
If the Western Liao people launched a surprise attack, they could only come from Xilin or the north.
There is an observation tower and military guards in the north, and there are natural barriers and towering mountains in the west, so it seems unlikely.
But it is better to believe it than not. There is no harm in hiding in the mountains first.
"Madam Huo, Yangguan hasn't been taken yet, so where did the Western Liao people come from?"
"Don't ask. If we really come here, it will be too late to run away. Go home and pack up food and bedding and go up the mountain!"
At this moment, the old lady showed the momentum and decisiveness of the mistress of a marquis's family.
She didn't say much to the villagers, but ran back immediately and shouted at the coal yard, asking Qin Wangyuan and others to go look for Sang Ning and Huo Jingya.
He also asked Huo Baohong to go home to pack up food. After finding out that Jintang and Yue Buyuan had returned home, he hurried back to ask Chen Yue to look for them.
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and Taoliang quickly packed up the food, picked some vegetables, tied up the bedding, pots and pans, threw them all on the wheelbarrow, tied it up, took the children, Dagang and Xiaohong, and went to Dongshan.
At the coal yard, many people followed the Huo family up the mountain. Of course, some were still watching.
The head of the village kept muttering: Impossible, impossible.
The villagers who went to ask for help from the doctor came back empty-handed.
"Village head! The doctor can't come. Everyone is sick. The clinic is packed with people. We can't even get in!"
The old village head looked confused: "What's going on? The county magistrate and the prefect don't care?"
"They are all busy collecting food from the people. They need to support General Su first. Hey——"
The villagers lamented deeply.
He couldn't say that supporting General Su was wrong, but the food that had just been distributed was going to be taken away again. Which people would like that? The streets were in chaos!
