Please continue reading on ΒOXΝVEL.ϹΟM .Mu Yangling led them to clean up the battlefield. Out of the 55 people, only 42 survived. Mu Yangling picked out the corpses of those from Nearhill Village and got someone to dig a hole on the spot. “Let their families come here to collect the corpses later.”
Liu Yong walked to Mu Yangling’s side and asked curiously as he looked at the miserable-looking Hus on the ground, “Didn’t they say that the Hus are excellent fighters? That even five Han Chinese are no match for one Hu?”
Mu Yangling squatted down to take a look, her expression solemn. Although they were all wearing Hu costumes, they were not military uniforms. “They’re not soldiers. They’re just ordinary Hu civilians.”
“Then will the village chief and the others encounter soldiers?” If the ordinary Hu civilians were already so powerful, how powerful were the soldiers?
“We’ll rest here for 15 minutes before leaving.”
Liu Xuan ran to Mu Yangling’s side and asked in a low voice, “What about the women in the cave? Should we bring them along?”
“No, how can we drag them along when we might not even be able to keep our lives? Let them hide in the cave. As long as they don’t climb out or make a sound, no one will discover them.”
Mu Yangling led her men to chase after Mu Shi and the others. It was already dawn. By the time Mu Yangling caught up to them, they were not far from the county.
The villagers were surprised and happy to see them return with injuries and blood. But those who did not see their family member return cried bitterly, for they knew that their loved ones would never come back.
Mu Yangling ran to the front to look for Mu Shi. Seeing her daughter in such a sorry state, how could Shu Wanniang not know that they had hidden something from her? However, now was not the time to ask. She only pulled Mu Yangling over to size her up. Seeing that only her palm was cracked and there were no other injuries on her body, she was relieved.
Mu Yangling was extremely exhausted. After all, she was only nine years old, and she had been fleeing and killing enemies since midnight. Now, she was just forcing herself to hold on.
Mu Shi quietly took out some dry food and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, he stuffed her under the blanket and said, “Sleep for a while. We’ll be able to reach the county soon with me pushing the cart.”
Mu Yangling’s eyelids were a little heavy, but she still said, “Father, those Hus weren’t soldiers. Where did the Jin soldiers go? Without the army leading the way, they wouldn’t have the guts to rush…”
