Chapter 357 The hero's stumbling block on the road to escape from the famine 8

Xiao Yun nodded, "It's very likely, this Crescent Moon Town is not far from where we are, and those recruiters haven't left yet, so your father and his men should still be in the town.

Since there are still people in the town, let's go and give it a try. If we can rescue your father and the others, even if it doesn't work, we can still see each other again."

After hearing this, Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingxing both smiled a little. This was the first time they were separated from their father and brother. Their previous strength was actually fake. If their mother had not recovered later, they would not know what to do.

Now that they knew they had a chance to rescue their father and brother, even if there was only a tiny bit of hope, they wanted to give it a try, and they felt more energetic when they walked.

Of course, it was actually the Dali Pills that worked.

After that, the two mothers walked with such speed that they reached the destination of five miles in less than an incense stick of time. Looking at the people constantly coming in and out of the town and the shops that were open, if one didn't know better, one would think that there was no disaster here.

If it weren't for the barren fields and withered grass not far away, Xiao Yun would have thought that he had escaped from a false wasteland.

Crescent Town is quite big, but the original family has never been here, because their Kuiyang Village belongs to another town, and they go there to buy things. If they hadn't passed by here while fleeing from famine, they would not have been caught here.

The town has no walls and is open on all sides. There are only two streets running through it with shops, and behind them are residential houses.

The buildings here are obviously much better than those in the village. Most of the buildings on the main street are made of blue bricks and black tiles. There are adobe houses slightly further back, but the roofs are also made of tiles, not thatch.

But the mother and her two sisters were not in the mood to walk around the town right now, especially Mingyue and her sister, who wanted to know whether their father and brothers were here.

But they didn't know how to inquire. After all, the people should not fight against the officials. If they asked ordinary people about the affairs of the officials and soldiers, they might be reported as spies by the other party.

Xiao Yun already knew where the people were, and was slowly leading the two children there. Soon they arrived in front of a big house.

It just so happened that the soldiers had just captured five or six young and strong men and were taking them directly into the house.

Before the gate was closed, I heard the guard say, "Are there only a few of us today? We have to stay a few more days. The food we eat and the horses we feed are almost empty."

One of the escorting soldiers replied: "There is no one in the nearby villages. We caught these people in other towns after running more than 20 miles. If it doesn't rain, I guess everyone in this town will run away..."

As I walked further away, I couldn't hear it clearly.

Gu Mingxing looked at Xiao Yun excitedly, and was about to speak when he was stopped by Gu Mingyue. Understanding his sister's look, he immediately swallowed his words.

The three of them walked a long way away before Gu Mingxing whispered, "Mom, Big Sister, Dad and the others are in here, right?"

Xiao Yun and Gu Mingyue nodded at the same time, not because of the conversation just now, but because they recognized that one of the voices was the one who injured the original body and took away Gu Lanzhang and his son.

Since this person is still here, then the people who were arrested should be among them.

Xiao Yun led them around to the back of the house. She looked around the house while listening to Xiao Lin's voice transmission in her mind.

While communicating with the plants inside, it told her about the layout inside and how many officers and soldiers and able-bodied men were imprisoned there.

When he walked to the back door and saw a man coming out with a rope and a carrying pole and a middle-aged woman carrying a basket, Xiao Yun's eyes lit up.

You can tell at a glance that these two are from the kitchen. They are out fetching firewood and buying vegetables.

She noticed that after the two men came out, the back door was only ajar and not locked. There was no sound of the bolt being opened when they came out before, which meant that the door was open. They could find a way to sneak in, drug the officers and soldiers, then release everyone and flee in all directions. Even if there were people who were not drugged, they would not be able to chase them.

I asked Xiao Lin, and he said that this was the backyard, behind the kitchen, and it was filled with sundries and no one was watching it. However, there was someone guarding the wall adjacent to the front yard.

Xiao Yun waited until the two men walked away, then rushed in with his two daughters.

When they entered the yard, Gu Mingyue and Gu Mingxing were still confused.

No, they just came in so beautifully?

However, they did not dare to say anything, for fear of attracting people. When they looked around, they found that there was no one inside.

Both of them looked at my mother with admiration. Could it be that she realized there was no one inside the moment she opened the door? She is worthy of being their mother, so awesome!

Xiao Yun listened attentively, then took her two daughters directly to the back door of the kitchen. In fact, she had heard from Xiao Lin that there were many people busy there, and no one would notice them if they went in directly. The kitchen had been recruiting people these days, and of course they were all temporary positions, and would not be needed after the people left.

Sure enough, their entry did not attract the attention of the people inside. At most, they just glanced at them and then went back to their work. They probably thought they were newly hired helpers.

There were twenty or thirty people busy in the big kitchen, eight of them were steaming rice, chopping meat and vegetables, and more than twenty were mixing bran and grass powder, which was obviously for the able-bodied men to eat.

It’s good enough that it’s not mixed with bran and bark powder, at least it tastes like grain.

Anyway, as long as they can fill their stomachs, it's fine. After all, we have captured hundreds of people. It's a disaster year too, so it's unrealistic to feed them with food.

The original body and her two daughters were good at cooking, but she didn't plan to cook for the officers and soldiers. Instead, she took Mingyue and the other two to cook for the able-bodied men.

She planned to secretly add some ingredients in it, that is, a tonic pill diluted with space water, and add it to the water mixed with bran, so that those people would have the strength to escape after a while.

Since we rescued them, they must be of some use. If they can run far away, they can also buy time for us.

Everyone was preparing dinner. Here we have two meals a day, and we have to eat before dark to save lamp oil. It is normal for many people to start working from noon.

When she came here just now, Xiao Yun had already quietly told her two adopted daughters about the situation. Although the two children were afraid, they were prepared to do as she said.

After they came in, they found that no one noticed them at all, so they felt relieved and looked at their mother with admiration again. Forgive them for their lack of education, they could only say that their mother was so, so, so awesome!

Xiao Yun puffed out his shriveled chest, pushed his two daughters into the crowd, and squatted there together to help stir the bran.

In secret, he asked Xiao Lin to drug the officers and soldiers, and put some in the meat, vegetables and rice, because he didn't believe that they would not fall into the drug.

It can turn into a small stick and slip under people's feet without being noticed.

What Xiao Yun gave was a sleeping pill, a powder made from the medicinal herbs in the space, and the effect was amazing.
