Chapter 361

The three decided to take turns resting for a while, and after it got brighter they would check on the situation with the old fox waking up before continuing on their journey.

The Mo Jiuye brothers had just gotten through a difficult spot, and Xi Ling Village was also facing a test at this moment.

The houses the Mo Family had recently built were basically completed, and Hu Cong had also invited many carpenters to come and build furniture together.

There were also chicken and livestock pens and grounds that hadn\'t been completed when Mo Jiuye was home, and Nan Rui had also noticed something amiss that around where he was living, the Mo Family had not started any construction.

He belatedly realized that it was because he and his mother were here that the construction schedule had been delayed.

Since he had already bought a house site in the village anyway, and would move away sooner or later, he rented a small courtyard to live in temporarily from the villagers.

People arranged by Hu Cong were already building his new courtyard.

As soon as Nan Rui moved out, He Zhiran started organizing people to help build chicken and livestock farms.

Thanks to the special properties of the seeds, the crops in the fields were still thriving even with little rain.

If they hadn\'t all been worried about the brothers\' safety, the atmosphere in the Mo Family recently would have been one of celebration and peace.

Even so, no one was neglecting the tasks at hand, and everyone was working hard at their own jobs.

He Zhiran would go rest inside her dimensional space at night, and leave before dawn.

She had just left her space when she heard the dogs barking chaotically outside.

At the same time, hurried footsteps could be heard coming to the door.

There was a knock.

"Sister-in-law, Mother told me to take you away from the village to hide first."

It was eighth sister-in-law\'s voice.

He Zhiran hurriedly opened the door.

"Sister-in-law, what happened?"

Eighth sister-in-law said urgently: "There are Barbarians coming down from the mountain to raid us. Seventh brother and eighth brother have already taken weapons and gone over. Mother is worried about your pregnancy and told me to take you away from the village first."

He Zhiran was not scared by the Barbarians\' raid.

The first thing she needed to do was to clearly understand the specifics of the situation.

"Sister-in-law, don\'t panic first. Tell me the details of what happened."

In fact, eighth sister-in-law did not know the specifics either.

"I was still asleep when I heard the dogs barking louder and louder outside.

Then eighth brother hurried out to check what was going on, and ran back to inform everyone that it was Barbarians invading."

When she got to this point, eighth sister-in-law also thought it was what the villagers often talked about, with Barbarians coming over the mountain from time to time to raid here.

However, what Mo Chuhan said was Barbarians invading, which had a completely different implication from raiding.

The observant He Zhiran heard something amiss from eighth sister-in-law\'s words.

"Sister-in-law, eighth brother told you it was Barbarians invading instead of raiding, right?"

Eighth sister-in-law froze for a moment, seemingly trying to remember, then nodded forcefully, "Yes, yes, yes, he said it was invading."

When He Zhiran heard eighth sister-in-law\'s confirmation, she felt that things were not simple.

Just as she was pondering, Old Lady Mo also came over with the women.

He Zhiran took the initiative to greet them: "Mother, this is not simple. Please take the sisters-in-law and Hanyue to safety."

The reason Old Lady Mo brought the women over was because she didn\'t see He Zhiran come out when she was waiting at the door, so she came to urge them.

Unexpectedly, the ninth daughter-in-law actually told her to take the women away.

Eighth sister-in-law did not discern the severity of the matter, but she would not make the same mistake.

"No, the number of Barbarians is too large, just relying on your two brothers is simply not enough to hold them back."

As she spoke, Old Lady Mo took out the tranquilizer guns that He Zhiran had given them during their exile.

"As women of the Mo Family, even without men, we still have to defend our home."

She looked at He Zhiran\'s already very swollen belly.

"You\'re carrying the Mo Family\'s only grandchild now. You must not take any risks. Listen to Mother and go into the city with your sister-in-law to notify Lord Meng to think of a way. We can still hold out here for a while."

From Old Lady Mo\'s account and her anxious expression, He Zhiran clearly realized the severity of the situation.

In such a critical moment, how could she as a former soldier abandon her family and leave alone?

Moreover, with her dimensional space she had even more advanced weapons that could suppress the enemies. If they encountered a crisis that they couldn\'t defuse, she\'d rather reveal some secrets than sacrifice her family\'s lives.

She was not worried about her own safety either, with her space it would be easy peasy to preserve her own life.

"Mother, I can\'t leave. You know a little about my skills. My pregnancy makes my body unwieldy, so I might as well stay home and take care of fourth brother."

Her thought was that even if she couldn\'t openly fight alongside the Mo Family\'s women, staying in Xi Ling Village would enable her to more easily step in to help if any emergency occurred.

It seemed Old Lady Mo saw through her thoughts. She answered without even thinking:

"Your fourth brother is a Mo Family man. How could he have the cowardly notion of fearing death over valuing life?

I\'ve already left my weapon with him over there. If any Barbarians come to kill him, even if he dies, he\'ll drag a few under him as padding."

He Zhiran understood clearly that Mo Family men indeed had no possibility of playing deserter. Even fourth brother who was still recovering from injury was no exception.

He would rather die a heroic death than cower behind his family members as a shrinking turtle.

Since this method wouldn\'t work either, He Zhiran could only give up resisting and think of another way.

"If that\'s the case, then I\'ll listen to Mother and go with sister-in-law into the city to notify Lord Meng."

"Good. There\'s no time to lose, you two sisters-in-law go quickly."

After speaking, Old Lady Mo beckoned for the women to make way at the door and let He Zhiran and eighth sister-in-law leave swiftly.

After seeing them off some ways, Old Lady Mo solemnly said to the women who stayed behind, "Although we\'re just powerless women, we still can\'t let outsiders bully us.

The home we finally built up is now suffering a Barbarian attack. We absolutely cannot let them succeed."

Hearing the indignant words from mother-in-law, second sister-in-law first took out a tranquilizer gun.

"Mother is right. As Mo Family people we definitely can\'t let others bully us."

Seeing her actions, the other sisters-in-law also echoed in succession.
