"I understand, wife. Now we have almost packed up everything else. All that's missing is the mat, quilt and pillow for us to sleep on."

"Go wake up the little ones. I'll put them in the car later."

Zhang looked around and found that most of the things had been put away.

She came to the mat and said, "Kids, get up. You'll sleep in the car later. Let's gather up the blankets and get ready to go."

Several children stood up from their sleep, put on their shoes and stood aside.

Soon, Yun the butcher came over and spread the mat back into the mule cart.

After the quilts and pillows were neatly arranged, "It's time to sleep in the mule cart. You three can go to the carriage and continue sleeping."

The three little ones rubbed their eyes and went back to sleep.

Yun the butcher laid out the mats, quilts and pillows in the donkey cart so that the child could sleep right away if he felt sleepy.

As the weather got colder, Yun the Butcher and Zhang decided to sleep in the carriage from now on.

When Yun the butcher and Zhang drove the mule carts and donkey carts to the official road, the team from Yunjia Village also started to move towards the official road.

According to the old rules, the Yun family lined up at the end of the line.

In front of the Yun family is the Yun family’s old acquaintance, the Wu family.

Second Brother Yun and Third Brother Yun were driving donkey carts and were in the front.

In the middle is Brother Yun, Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui, driving a mule cart.

At the end were Yun the Butcher and Zhang, who were driving a mule cart.

Once the team was lined up, the pace of the team increased.

Except for the younger children who were still catching up on sleep, the adults were both sleepy and energetic.

The village chief called people to cook too early, and many people were yawning.

However, after being delayed outside Shilin Town for such a long time, everyone was extremely anxious.

This time, there were no bandits from Qingfeng Village blocking the road, and everyone was in the mountains and had replenished a lot of supplies in Shilin Town, so they didn't have to worry about food and drink for the time being.

Therefore, everyone was discussing in low voices at this moment.

Now the elderly and children in every family are arranged in the car.

The people pushing the carts were all adults, and since they had rested for so many days, even though the village chief secretly increased the speed twice, no one in the team fell behind.

There were quite a few refugee groups on the official road, most of which were the groups that had previously stopped outside Shilin Town.

The whole morning was spent with everyone working hard on their journey.

At noon, the village chief asked everyone to park beside the official road and not block it.

As for time, he gave everyone an hour.

Now that the weather is colder and the days are shorter, they have to speed up to complete their daily goals.

"Wife, we only have one hour. What do you think we should make for lunch?"

"How about this, Master? We have a lot of porridge, fried cakes, and vegetables left over from this morning. Let's put the pot on the stove, heat them up, and eat."

"If the fried cakes aren't enough for now, you can add a few steamed buns and heat them up," Zhang added. The children ate less in the morning, so they'd definitely eat more at noon.

"Okay, wife. I'll move the dining table down and you start cleaning. I'll go find some stones to build a stove."

"Okay, but, boss, take the eldest and second sons with you to collect some dry firewood."

"OK."

"Big brother, second brother, come with me to collect firewood."

"Here I come, Dad."

"I know, Dad."

Butcher Yun took Brother Yun (eldest brother) and Brother Yun (second brother) into the woods.

Yun Yiyi, Xie Zirui, and Third Brother Yun were also busy. They took out baskets, put grass in them, brought water, and began to feed the mules and donkeys at home.

After Zhang had packed up her things, Yun the Butcher had retrieved the stone and finished building the stove with swift movements.

After he installed the big iron pot, he started adding firewood to the fire.

Zhang cleaned the large iron pot and poured the leftover porridge from the morning into it. She placed a grate on top of the porridge and added steamed buns, fried cakes, and hot and sour potato shreds.

Finally, cover the pot. Once everything is heated, you can eat.

After a while, Brother Yun (Big Brother) and Brother Yun (Second Brother) came back with a lot of firewood.

"Big brother, second brother, wash your hands, you can eat soon."

"I understand, mother."

"Boss, you see everyone is doing the same as us, setting up their stove outside in the woods."

Butcher Yun looked around and found that it was indeed the case.

There's a stove about every 20 meters or so. Everyone cooks together, creating a lively atmosphere. It's also incredibly lively.

Zhang and Yun the Butcher also watched with smiles on their faces. It was great, they could finally continue on their journey.

After more than ten minutes, the rice in the pot was heated.

Zhang took out all the food and placed it on the table to cool.

She also put the porridge into a bowl and let it cool.

"Okay, kids, come over for dinner."

As soon as Zhang called out, several children came over.

Everyone gathered around the table and had lunch happily.

Yun the butcher was particularly foresighted. When he stopped, he deliberately parked several of his cars together.

In this case, unless other refugees come to check, they will not know what they have eaten.

In less than twenty minutes, the Yun family finished lunch.

While Yun the Butcher and Zhang were cleaning up, he asked the children to walk around to help digest their food.

Yun Yiyi looked at the stove in front of her from afar and saw smoke coming out. She guessed that lunch was not ready yet.

"Dad, the village chief only gives us an hour. If we're slow, we won't be able to eat."

The other children also stared at Yun the Butcher curiously.

Butcher Yun laughed, "Yiyi, I guess there's only one lunch today. Some people won't be able to eat because they're slow. That won't be the case tomorrow."

"I guess everyone thought the village chief would leave two hours for meals and rest. That's why they didn't prepare in advance."

"However, everyone in the village knows our village chief's temper. He set it for an hour today, so it will definitely remain an hour in the future."

"In that case, everyone will be ready tonight."

"However, as long as the meal is ready, we can take turns eating in the car even if we are in a hurry."

"So that's what's going on, Dad. But I think the village chief deliberately didn't inform everyone in advance today."

"I think so too. If the village chief had informed everyone in advance last night or this morning, no one would have been so flustered."

"The village chief must have his reasons for not notifying us in advance."

Butcher Yun listened to the children talking with a smile, feeling very relieved.

"The village chief felt that we had rested for so long that we no longer felt a sense of urgency, so he deliberately launched a surprise attack on everyone at noon today."

"Dad, the village chief is so creative. He dares to do what he thinks."

Yun Yiyi said with emotion.

"Haha, that's why the village chief is worried."
