<h4>Chapter 361</h4>


    After getting all this done, the sky outside had already started to brighten.


    The Mo Jiuye brothers had travelled overnight, and after getting Mr. Si Meng''s essence and blood, they were quite tired at the moment.


    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 Vige was also facing a test at this moment.


    The houses the Mo Family had recently built were basicallypleted, and Hu Cong had also invited many carpenters toe and build furniture together.


    There were also chicken and livestock pens and grounds that hadn''t beenpleted 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 btedly realized that it was because he and his mother were here that the construction schedule had been dyed.


    Since he had already bought a house site in the vige anyway, and would move away sooner orter, he rented a small courtyard to live in temporarily from the vigers.


    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 hearding to the door.


    There was a knock.


    "Sister-inw, Mother told me to take you away from the vige to hide first."


    It was eighth sister-inw''s voice.


    He Zhiran hurriedly opened the door.


    "Sister-inw, what happened?"


    Eighth sister-inw said urgently: "There are Barbariansing 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 vige 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-inw, don''t panic first. Tell me the details of what happened."


    In fact, eighth sister-inw 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-inw also thought it was what the vigers often talked about, with Barbariansing over the mountain from time to time to raid here.


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


    The observant He Zhiran heard something amiss from eighth sister-inw''s words.


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


    Eighth sister-inw 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-inw''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-inw and Hanyue to safety."


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


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


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


    "No, the number of Barbarians is toorge, 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-inw to notify Lord Meng to think of a way. We can still hold out here for a while."


    From Old Lady Mo''s ount 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 Vige would enable her to more easily step in to help if any emergency urred.


    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 Barbarianse 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 ying 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-inw into the city to notify Lord Meng."


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


    After speaking, Old Lady Mo beckoned for the women to make way at the door and let He Zhiran and eighth sister-inw 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 seed."


    Hearing the indignant words from mother-inw, second sister-inw 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-inw also echoed in session.
