"Dad, you and mom love me the most." Yun Yiyi said proudly, and did not forget to raise her eyebrows at Third Brother Yun.
Third Brother Yun glanced at Yun Yiyi, then turned his head and looked elsewhere, not looking at Yun Yiyi.
Butcher Yun and Zhang watched the two funny guys perform and laughed happily.
"Okay, stop making trouble. Let's eat quickly. We won't have time to eat when we set off," said Zhang.
"Yes, listen to your mother. Eat quickly." Yun the Butcher added.
Yun Yiyi and the others picked up the pancakes, rolled them up with vegetables, and started to eat. Zhang's pancakes were fragrant and soft, and rolled up with vegetables, they were really delicious.
Yun Yiyi finished the pancake in her hand and drank a few more sips of mung bean soup. The mung bean soup was completely simmered until it was sandy and soft and fragrant.
Before Yun Yiyi finished her meal, the village chief's gong began to sound. He told everyone to hurry up and be ready to leave in half an hour.
After hearing what the village chief said, Butcher Yun and Zhang both quickened their eating pace. Yun Yiyi and the three Yun brothers also stopped dawdling.
Soon, Yun the Butcher and Zhang had finished their meal and began to clean up the food. It was a bit messy and it took a lot of time to clean up.
After Yun Yiyi and the three Yun brothers finished their meal, they also helped Zhang clean up. With strength in numbers, everything was quickly packed up and placed on the cart.
Butcher Yun harnessed the donkey cart to the back of the little donkey, while Second and Third Brothers Yun stood nearby, ready to drive the cart. Zhang and First Brother Yun also pushed their carts to the side of the road.
At this time, the village chief drove out of the woods and headed towards the official road. The villagers of Yunjia Village followed behind him and lined up on the official road.
The Yun butcher and his family waited until everyone had passed, then they joined the team and followed them forward.
At this time, other refugee groups in the woods also started to set off one after another. The number of people on the official road also increased. Suddenly, the road became noisy.
Yun Yiyi followed Zhang, carrying a stick and walking forward. They set out early, and the temperature hadn't risen yet, so it was still quite comfortable to walk.
Yun Yiyi glanced ahead and spotted Uncle Li, who was ordering mung bean water. They were queued behind the merchant's carriage, and even on horseback, the pace was very slow. The main reason was that there were too many people on the official road, and the carriages couldn't keep up.
Although the team of Yunjia Village is not small, it has fewer horse-drawn carriages and more carts, so it is still very flexible when it comes to Superman.
By the time Yun Yiyi and the others had walked about twenty miles, it was already noon. They were an hour later than yesterday. The official road was so crowded that they couldn't walk fast.
The village chief stood beside the official road and shouted to everyone to go to the nearby woods to rest. He waited until all the villagers had entered the woods before he went in.
"We walked slowly this morning, and I don't think we will walk any faster in the afternoon." After the village chief said this, he sighed.
"We'll take a break at noon as usual today, and we'll walk as much as we can this afternoon. I asked Mr. Li last night, and he said if we continue walking for another three days, we'll find a county town. I guess when we get out of the county town and hit the road again, there won't be as many people on the official road." The village chief said slowly.
"Village chief, we don't have much water at home. Please find a way to get some water when the time comes." A villager said loudly.
"Yes, Village Chief, my family's water can only last for a few days."
“The food isn’t coming in fast enough, but the water is going out fast enough.”
"I don't know when we will no longer have water shortages."
The villagers all started talking about it. When the topic of water came up, their voices became louder and their emotions became more excited.
"Everyone, be quiet. I think we're almost at the water point. Don't worry, if things don't work out, we can just share the water."
"When we get to the county town, we can also buy some water. There are definitely more solutions than problems." The village chief said helplessly.
"We are having a really hard time now. If we even need to buy water, we won't have money to buy food." An elderly man said worriedly.
"Let's take it one step at a time. Things will get better and better."
"However, the further south we go, the less severe the drought will be. The map my teacher gave us shows that as long as we reach the big river, we will not be short of water." Li Xiucai stood up and said.
"Yes, don't worry too much. Even if we need to buy water, we will only buy it once. Let's go to the mountains more often to look for water later." Yun the Butcher also said.
"That's going to have to wait until we get out of the county. I see there's a serious water shortage on this stretch of official road we've been traveling on recently." Hunter Zhang also expressed his opinion.
"Okay, everyone go pack up your things, cook and eat. We have passed the most difficult stage, and things will only get better in the future." The clan elder reassured everyone.
"The clan elder is right. Besides, we can always come up with a good idea. Let's all go now. You may not be tired after walking all day. But I am." The village chief said as he walked towards his home.
When everyone saw this, they all stood up and went home to pack up their things and prepare to eat. They had been walking all day, so how could they not be tired?
Butcher Yun and Zhang also hurriedly unloaded cooking utensils from the cart. Yun Yiyi followed the three Yun brothers as they cleaned the floor and prepared a sleeping area.
Zhang boiled half a pot of water and added chopped cabbage. Once it boiled, she poured two beaten eggs into the pot. Once the eggs floated, she poured half a basin of broken pot cakes into the pot.
After five minutes, Zhang called for a halt to the cooking. She poured the soup into a clay pot to cool. Then, she scooped a plate of kimchi from the kimchi jar, chopped it up, and drizzled a few drops of sesame oil on it.
Butcher Yun served the food and started inviting everyone to eat.
"Boss, bring your brothers and sisters to dinner."
"I'm here, Dad." Brother Yun replied. After that, Brother Yun took his brothers and sisters to wash their hands and prepare to eat.
Yun Yiyi sat down at the table, picked up her bowl, and began to eat. The soup tasted good, but it didn't look very good. At this time, just having a meal was good enough, and no one cared much about it.
"You all should eat quickly and go to sleep after eating. We walked slowly today, so the lunch break will be short." Zhang said.
"Mom, you and Dad should also sleep for a while. You have been walking for the whole morning and must be tired." Yun Yiyi said with concern.
"Don't worry, Yiyi. After we finish our meal, we will pack up and go to bed." Yun the Butcher said happily.
"Dad, after dinner, you go to bed first. Mom and I will clean up together. You didn't sleep last night, so you must sleep a little longer at noon." Boss Yun said.
"Yes, Dad. Just listen to your eldest brother." Second Brother Yun also said.
