Chapter 167 I owe you this life, I will pay you back in the next life
He followed Black Whirlwind all the way, passing the courtyard where they were temporarily staying, through the garden, and finally ran to the outer wall of the east side of the courtyard. At this time, the commotion outside could be heard clearly. Black Whirlwind led Desheng but rushed into a cluster of forsythia in the corner of the wall, whimpering.
When Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo walked around, they saw a small hole at the base of the wall, and Black Whirlwind and Desheng were squatting beside the hole, howling.
This is... It turns out that the two children crawled out through this dog hole?
My God, this is a street market outside! Not to mention that they are young and might encounter human traffickers or something, just look at the current situation... Li Yaoguang's heart suddenly rose.
Yu Meixue, who followed closely in, also saw the dog hole at a glance. When she heard the people outside the wall crying and shouting for their lives, Yu Meixue rushed over without hesitation and was about to go out through the dog hole to look for people, but was stopped by Li Yaoguang.
"Aunt, I'll go."
Li Yaoguang pushed the person to his uncle who came in with difficulty, then he lay down and tried to get out.
But the entrance to the cave was too small and she couldn't get out. When she poked her head out, she could see people running at the end of the empty alley, but she couldn't find any trace of her brother.
Seeing that she was stuck, Ji Mo signaled Li Yaoguang to go back, and he flew over to the top of the wall. Standing on the top of the wall and looking around, he saw smoke rising from the city wall and the city was in chaos. There was no sign of the child. Ji Mo jumped off the wall with a stern face and shook his head at Li Yaoguang who was retreating.
Seeing this, Yu Meixue's strength was instantly drained away and she fell into her husband's arms.
At this moment, the steward who had received the order ahead asked people along the way and found this place. When he saw the master of the house, he did not care about the crowd of outsiders and hurried to report.
"Master, the north gate has been breached, Hu Di has entered the city. As per your instructions, all members of Jiqitang have withdrawn. What do you think?"
This is bad news!
Once the city is breached, it will be street fighting. Although the Dajing army is brave, they are no match for the Hu people in terms of physical fitness and bravery. In addition, judging from the fact that the city gates were lost so quickly and the people in the city are running around in panic, the officials guarding Yangzhou City are probably good-for-nothings.
It was only a matter of time before Yangzhou City fell completely. They could not gamble. Leaving was urgent. Ji Mo said decisively: "Notify everyone to leave immediately, pack lightly and leave quickly."
"No!"
As soon as Ji Mo spoke, Yu Meixue, who was a strong mother, objected immediately. She forced herself to stand up with all her strength and said, "My Yang'er hasn't been found yet. I won't leave. I want to find my son." As a mother, even if she knew it was dangerous and that staying would mean death, she would not give up her son.
As a husband and wife, Cheng Su was the same. Although he knew he was a burden, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind to go with his wife.
Li Yaoguang was not willing to give in, and forcibly stopped the people to make arrangements, "Aunt and uncle, don't be impulsive, you go first, I will go find the person."
"No, Yang'er is our son, and we as parents..."
"Aunt, uncle, calm down. Listen, I don't need to tell you what's going on outside right now. If you go out like this, you might be dispersed as soon as you show your head. How can you even talk about looking for someone? If Yang'er is not found by then, I will have to look for you. Isn't this just causing trouble for me? Listen to me."
After being yelled at by Li Yaoguang, the couple who had lost their composure finally calmed down a little. Li Yaoguang hurriedly looked at Ji Mo and Gu Dajie to ask for help.
"Brother Ji, Madam Gu, I am entrusting my loved ones to you. Please take them across the river and settle them in the nearest city on the other side of the river. I will come to meet them as soon as I find my brother."
Although Gu Qing was also worried about Li Yaoguang's safety, he believed in her ability and nodded to accept the entrustment.
Not wanting their niece to listen to her, Cheng Su and his wife actually asked them to leave the child behind and go first, but Cheng Su and his wife were not willing to do that. "Sister Guang, what nonsense are you talking about? How could we possibly leave you alone?" They were very careful, and they had already lost one child, so they were determined not to lose another. "If we don't leave, and we can't find your brother and escape, it will be our fate. We will die together as a family."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what's the point of dying or not? No matter who dies, we won't die! Well, time is running out, Yangyang is still waiting for me to find him. I've made up my mind. Aunt and uncle, you guys go first, I'll chase you when I find my brother. Don't worry, I've learned some skills, so I'll have no problem keeping my life."
"I disagree!"
Li Yaoguang was afraid of this kind of situation. He had complained about it endlessly when he saw it on TV before. But when he really encountered it and it happened to him, he realized that sometimes reason is one thing and emotion is another.
As a parent, if you only care about your own safety and ignore your children, and leave whenever you are asked to, are you still a parent?
Just when Li Yaoguang and his family were in a stalemate, Ji Mo stepped in.
"Okay, stop arguing. Time is running out. Brother Cheng, you guys follow me. I'll stay."
Li Yaoguang: "No need, big brother, why are you causing trouble at this time? Besides, you have so many people under you waiting for your arrangements."
Ji Mo, who had already made up his mind, interrupted Li Yaoguang and said, "It's okay. They are used to it. Without me as their master, they can still do what they want. But with only you, everyone is worried."
Afraid of wasting time by arguing further, Ji Mo did not give anyone a chance to speak again, and immediately made arrangements to the steward who bowed beside him, "Ji Ding, take the people in the mansion to evacuate, protect the guests, ensure their safety, and take care of Madam Gu together, leave quickly."
The manager was very smart. He agreed immediately without any instructions, pushed the struggling Cheng Su forward, turned around and left, not giving Cheng Su any chance to resist.
Seeing that the villa was busy but not chaotic inside and outside, and that the staff of such a large Jiqitang were evacuated so quickly, Gu Dajia knew that the other party was a capable person. It would be unnecessary for him to come and pick them up, but he also appreciated Ji Mo's kindness.
The future of the evacuation was uncertain, but with capable people taking care of them, the safety of everyone on the ship was guaranteed.
Feeling grateful in her heart, Gu Qing bowed to Ji Mo, and without saying anything more, she held Yu Meixue, who was worried and reluctant to leave, and said, "Sister Yu, our benefactor is a capable person. Don't worry, the child will be found. Come with me quickly and don't cause any more trouble." Then she took the person away by force.
Li Yaoguang watched his relatives leave, then turned to Ji Mo and sincerely thanked him. Ji Mo shook his head, "No need. Didn't you call me brother? Let's go."
After saying this, Ji Mo reached out and embraced Li Yaoguang, then stepped forward and led her to the top of the wall.
Li Yaoguang lowered his head and called out, "Black Whirlwind."
Immediately afterwards, Black Whirlwind stuck out his butt and crawled out of the small hole in front of him. Seeing this, Desheng followed closely behind.
The crowd of people around her dispersed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Miaoniang suddenly came to her senses.
No, why are they all gone? What about her? What should she do?
Xu Miaoniang, who was tacitly forgotten by everyone, was completely panicked. Outside the wall, she heard the cries of her parents and the sounds of people screaming and fleeing. She was terrified and regretful.
I am really worried about my brother, and I am really afraid of death.
In anxiety, Xu Miaoniang turned on her toes and decisively gave up catching up with Li Yaoguang and Ji Mo, and without thinking, she chased after Gu Dajia and others who had just left.
Looking for a younger brother or something...If a person does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, so I'm sorry, Brother Yi, I owe you this life, and I will definitely repay you in the next life.
