Chapter 339: No Peace
Mo Jiuye asked, "Have you dealt with the bodies?"
Myna's answer was obviously a bit disappointed: "This guy is really something. I just cut off one of his arms and he was scared to death.
This revenge won’t take as long as dealing with the corpse…”
Mo Jiuye couldn't help laughing: "That person is obviously a coward who loves life and is afraid of death. If he dies, he dies."
The fifth brother knew what Mo Jiuye wanted to ask: "We threw the two bodies into the back mountain."
Speaking of the back mountain, Mo Jiuye has never been there once.
According to the villagers, when the barbarians were short of food and clothing, they came from there, then crossed the front mountain and entered Xiling Village.
Since his brothers had already been there, Mo Jiuye felt it necessary to ask.
"Fifth brother, did you find any suspicious signs or special markings when you went to the back mountain?"
Based on years of combat experience, whenever Mo Jiuye led his troops to infiltrate the enemy first, he would send out spies in advance to find the way and mark the route.
According to villagers in Xiling Village, the barbarians used to come and harass them every one or two years, and it was impossible not to make marks in such deep mountains.
My brothers and I have all heard about the harassment by the barbarians.
Therefore, the careful fifth brother made a careful observation when he arrived at the back mountain.
This was also what he was eager to tell his ninth brother.
"Ninth brother, I found traces of burning wood there, as well as animal fur and bones.
I guess someone must have been there recently, hunting for survival.
As for other markings, I really didn't notice anything, and we didn't stay there for too long because we were afraid of worrying our families if we came back late."
The Sixth Brother also stepped forward and said, "We suspect that the barbarians were likely planning to rob the Dashun area, but when they saw plenty of game along the way, they gave up the idea."
Mo Jiuye nodded: "It's possible. After all, those who come here to rob are all barbarians. They are just looking for food. If they can have something to make a living, they probably won't be willing to come and take risks."
After a pause, he continued, "No matter what, we must be vigilant. There hasn't been much rain this year, and there's a possibility of drought. If it weren't for the river in our village and everyone's diligence in carrying water to irrigate the fields, I'm afraid the crops would have died of drought.
This place is only separated from the barbarians by a mountain. If they have no food, they will probably come in groups to harass us."
Now the new house has just taken shape, and various industries are also being prepared.
Especially since we grow so many crops at home and have thousands of rabbits.
In the near future, poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep will also be raised on a large scale. It would be a pity if they were not taken care of and were robbed.
"Don't worry, Ninth Brother. Starting tomorrow, we brothers will take turns to check the back mountain. If there is any disturbance, we will be able to find it in time."
If he asked his brothers to take turns to check, Mo Jiuye really had no intention of doing so.
In his opinion, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?
In my wife's space, the dogs trained by Fantuan can definitely do it.
Of course, Fantuaner will need to give orders in the first few days. Once they get used to it, they will naturally take the initiative to patrol.
He Zhiran had the same idea as Mo Jiuye. While the brothers were talking, her consciousness had already entered the space.
Just now when they asked Fantuan to tame Xiaobai, she didn't notice that none of the dogs showed up. They must have been manipulated by the little guy to set rules somewhere.
Her consciousness searched the space, and sure enough, all the dogs were sitting neatly at the foot of the mountain, not daring to move.
If it weren't for the presence of his brothers, He Zhiran would have wanted to laugh.
Fantuaner is really not bored in the space.
Looking at those dogs, they have grown a lot. I estimate that in two or three days, they will be able to come out of the space and officially take up their posts.
…
The original plan was that Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran would use the morning time as a cover to prepare the wood and then arrange for it to be transported home.
Unexpectedly, they met two people from southern Xinjiang in Yuncheng, which delayed their plans.
During dinner, it was Mrs. Mo who first thought of this matter.
"Jiuye, how did you guys go about buying lumber in the city?"
The old lady has long been unwilling to worry about household affairs. Now she just wants to do some work like her daughters-in-law.
However, she noticed that there was something wrong with his anger today. Mo Chuhan, who used to like to tell his family about the cases handled by the government office when he got home, was unusually quiet.
Madam Mo guessed that something must have happened today, so she asked about the purchase of wood.
The brothers had not intended to tell their families about the capture of the two people from southern Xinjiang. After all, it was not a pleasant thing.
But they knew their mother's personality very well, and if she hadn't noticed something was wrong, she wouldn't have asked questions at the dinner table.
Mo Jiuye originally planned to prepare everything and talk about it before leaving for the capital.
Since he had to tell it sooner or later, he just told his mother something when she asked.
"Mom, the wood is ready. I was planning to find someone to transport it home this afternoon. Unexpectedly, I ran into two people from southern Xinjiang in Yuncheng who were asking about the whereabouts of Xiling Village..."
Mo Jiuye told his mother what happened today, so that he would not have to explain his trip to the capital again.
Of course, he did not elaborate on how the two men died, but only said that they were dealt with by his brothers.
After hearing what he said, not only the sisters-in-law, but even the usually calm Madam Mo became uneasy.
"This Mr. Simeng is really haunting us. As long as he's around, my Mohist sect will never have peace."
Seeing his mother's condition, Mo Jiuye knew that she had also thought of going to the capital to look for someone.
He took the opportunity to say, "Mom, I plan to go to the capital in a few days. I don't want to give up any clues."
When the ninth brother said he was going to Beijing to find Mr. Simeng, several brothers stood up eagerly.
"If we go, let's go together, brothers." said the mynah bird.
Even the seventh brother, whose body had not yet fully recovered, was worried.
"Yes, going to the capital is a very important matter. Ninth brother cannot go alone. If we want to go, we brothers should go together."
"No, our identities are sensitive. Too many people will attract attention. I plan to go and find out what's going on alone." Mo Jiuye strongly objected.
Madam Mo disagreed with this. Before her other sons could refute her, she said:
"Jiuye, Mr. Simeng is very good at hiding his tracks. This shows that he is very cunning. Moreover, he also possesses many unorthodox skills. If he doesn't have someone to look after him, I'm afraid it won't work."
The fifth brother also agreed: "What mother said makes sense. The others will stay at home, and the fifth brother will go with you."
