Chapter 390: The Last Hope

"Big Girl ......"

When the fourth uncle saw that the big girl was controlled by the cavalry leader, he immediately exclaimed.

"Fourth Uncle ......"

The big girl's eyes were full of fright, but she stubbornly held back, not letting her fear affect the clansmen.

A girl who was only thirteen years old already had such courage, and the fourth uncle was suddenly ashamed of his retreat just now.

Indeed, a thirteen-year-old girl can face death head-on, but he himself speaks beautifully, but he still retreats when the time comes. The fourth uncle hated his weakness in his heart, perhaps it was this weakness that created the situation of the Mao clan today.

The fourth uncle's old face showed a serious expression, and then he took two steps forward steadily, tightened the hoe in his hand, and faced the cavalry leader: "Let go of the big girl, what kind of good man is you to use a little girl as a threat." ”

"Hero...... Hahaha......"

After hearing the words of the fourth uncle, the cavalry leader and the soldiers immediately let out a contemptuous laugh.

"Lao Tzu has never regarded himself as a hero, so if you know each other, you can quickly take out all the things you have hidden. Otherwise, Lao Tzu's hands trembled slightly, and this big girl would be lost. The cavalry leader smirked.

The fourth uncle's whole body trembled slightly when he heard this, obviously he was not lightly angry, and at this time, the other clansmen also stood behind the fourth uncle. Obviously, they have been aroused by the primordial blood in their hearts.

It is a Buddha who has three points of fire, and no matter how cowardly people are, there will be people who are forced to resist bravely, and the Mao clan people in front of them seem to have realized that no matter how weak they are, they can't save everyone's lives.

Horizontal and vertical are death, rather than being bullied to death, it is better to fight. Even if everyone still can't escape the fate of dying in the end, they can die a heroic death.

Seeing the reaction of the Mao clan, the county commander immediately frowned. He wasn't worried about the resistance of the Mao clan, but these people were all named by King Fu, and if they were all killed, he was afraid that King Fu would be held accountable in the future.

Looking at the dazzling gold, silver and jewelry, the county magistrate hesitated slightly, and then shouted fiercely: "You all listen to this county, give you another day, if you don't take out all your wealth the day after tomorrow, then don't blame this county for destroying your sins." ”

After the county order finished speaking, he gave the butler a look, and he went straight back to the carriage.

The butler smiled and ordered four large boxes of gold, silver and jewels to be loaded onto the carriage, and finally gave the cavalry leader a look and asked him to release him.

The cavalry leader seemed to be a little unwilling, but he didn't disobey the order in the end, and after hesitating, he pushed the little girl to the ground, and warned viciously: "You all know each other, it's best to pray that I won't be here again the day after tomorrow, otherwise hehe......"

Leaving a string of sinister laughter, the cavalry leader led his men to turn over and get on their horses, and then escorted the carriage away.

When the fourth uncle saw them leaving, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed up to pick up the big girl: "Did it hurt you?" ”

"Fourth uncle, I'm fine." The big girl is quite sensible, obviously she fell very painfully just now, but she stubbornly didn't cry.

The fourth uncle was very appreciative of the big girl's performance, touched her head and gave him an encouraging look, and then picked him up and walked to the thatched house in the middle.

The four clansmen took a straw mat, gathered the dead man's body, and carried it to the largest hut in the middle.

All the people of the Mao clan were sad at this moment, and the only remaining young man in the clan died innocently and tragically. Everyone felt grief, but they all looked helpless.

"We can't stay here any longer, and the prefectural magistrate apparently got word out of nowhere that we still have the riches we have. Now we've taken it all, but they still don't believe it's all we have. The fourth uncle announced with a heavy face.

"Fourth uncle, but where can we escape?"

"That's right! There was chaos outside, there were bandits everywhere, and we who were old, weak, sick and disabled estimated that we would not be able to run far and would surely die. ”

Judging from the reactions of the clansmen, they were all completely desperate, and their depressed mood spread in an instant, and everyone understood that this time it was really a matter of life and death.

The fourth uncle was not angry in the face of the low mood of the clansmen, and this time it was time for him to do something for the clansmen. He looked at the people present one by one with a firm gaze, and then said slowly: "Even if there is a lot of danger outside, it is much better than sitting here and waiting for death." Of course, in order to buy more time for the people who have left to escape, someone among us must stay behind and delay. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent, and no one dared to stand up and accept this task. The fourth uncle's eyes showed a trace of disappointment, from this point, he already understood that the people of the Mao clan had lost their blood.

"I'll stay......"

"I'll stay too......"

"I'll stay......"

Just when the fourth uncle was desperate, suddenly more than a dozen old men stood up one after another, expressing their willingness to stay.

This made the desperate fourth uncle finally rekindle his hope, he smiled and looked at the few old brothers who began to fight, and said: "Okay, you don't have to fight, our ultimate goal is how to ensure that the other clansmen leave safely, not in vain." ”

Under the words of the fourth uncle, everyone came back to their senses and began to discuss who would stay to delay time, and who would lead the rest of the clan to flee for their lives.

In the end, the fourth uncle and the oldest old man in the four clans stayed, because they were the oldest. If you run for your life with your clansmen, you will inevitably be exhausted and drag everyone down.

After selecting the people who remained, the question of where the clansmen should flee was left, and everyone thought about it, and finally thought of Henan and Shaanxi. Because there is Mao Bowen who went to look for news of Mao Wenlong before, he can take care of it somewhat.

Time was urgent, and there was no room for any further delay, so that night, the Mao clan packed up their things and brought the little wealth scattered in the clan as travel expenses. Then take advantage of the night to set off in a hurry.

The fourth uncle and the four old men who stayed behind were at the gate of the village, watching more than a dozen people leave, until they were no longer visible.

"Fourth brother, do you think our Mao clan still has hope for the continuation of the incense?" In the dark, an old man beside the fourth uncle whispered.

"There will be hope!" In the fourth uncle's seemingly firm tone, it is not difficult to find the uncertainty in it.

"Alas, if Young Master Mao Wenlong hadn't died, our clan wouldn't have come to such a field today!" Another old man looked up to the sky and sighed!
