Mu Shi felt that if they weren't so cowardly, his father wouldn't have taken on so many attacks, and his mother wouldn't have been forced to pick up her saber. Therefore, he hated them and despised them even more.
Nevertheless, these people were all his mother's family and part of his clan.
So, Mu Shi still brought them out of the mountain.
Nearhill Village was burned down. Other than a few houses, everything else was burned down by the barbarians who had escaped.
That event resulted in 33 deaths in Nearhill Village, including his parents'.
Nearhill Village was in a desperate situation. This was only resolved when Liu He brought Liu Daqian and the others to beg Mu Shi to bring the young men in the village into the mountain. That way, they could at least find a little something to eat from Chef Mountain and survive this winter.
Although Mu Shi did not like them, he still agreed.
