"Dad, Mom, the third child and I should just drive the donkey cart. We're used to it. Besides, the donkey cart has less stuff on it, so we can both sit on it."
"Okay, then you and the third brother will drive the donkey cart."
"Boss, you take Yiyi and Zirui to drive the new mule cart. Your mother and I will drive this old mule cart. When the weather gets cold, your mother can light the small stove and cook on the cart."
"Sure, Dad." Boss Yun responded directly.
Butcher Yun looked at Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui again.
"Dad, I have no objection. I can take any car."
"Uncle Yun, Yiyi and I are the same. We can take any car." Xie Zirui also expressed his opinion.
"Okay, let's do it this way. When the time comes, the second and third sons will drive the donkey cart in the front. The eldest son will drive the new mule cart in the middle. Your mother and I will drive the mule cart and line up at the end of the team."
After hearing Yun the Butcher's arrangements, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Also, let's put a layer of matting inside the car. When it gets cold after a while, we can put a layer of grass under the matting, which will also keep us warm."
"Boss, didn't you say you wanted to go to the Wu family next door to buy some furs?"
"No rush, let's wait until it gets colder." Yun the Butcher retorted.
"Zirui, come here. I'll measure your size and make you a cotton coat and cotton shoes starting tomorrow. If I don't make them now, you won't be able to wear them when it gets cold." Zhang called Xie Zirui over.
"Aunt, you can just make me something to wear." Xie Zirui felt very embarrassed.
"Oh, what are you talking about, kid? One set is not enough. We have to make two sets. Not only for you, but for everyone else. Otherwise, when it gets cold, you'll get sick from the cold."
"Don't think too much. I treat you as my own child, and you should treat this as your own home."
"Brother Zirui, don't think too much and just stay here. It's getting colder and colder. Without warm clothes, we won't be able to reach our destination." Yun Yiyi saw that Xie Zirui was embarrassed and also advised him a few words.
"Yes, Zirui, you should treat our home as your own. As long as your uncle and aunt have something to eat, there will definitely be something for you to eat." Yun the butcher also advised.
"Okay, Uncle Yun, Auntie, I'll listen to you." Xie Zirui said with emotion. Although the Yun family was not so wealthy, the affection between family members was enviable.
In the eldest prince's mansion, only the wet nurse who had taken care of him since childhood could care for him so attentively. His mother, also the eldest prince's consort, was as beautiful as a flower and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, his mother did not cook for him every day.
His mother wouldn't often make clothes for him. In the eldest prince's mansion, clothes were made and meals were cooked. Of course, his mother loved him, but her love wasn't this simple.
His father, the eldest prince, had always been strict with him since he was young. Growing up, his father had only held him a few times, let alone taken him shopping or had a good chat with him like Yun the Butcher did.
Of course, everyone's parents express their love in different ways. However, Xie Zirui still envied Yun Yiyi.
Hey, I'm sure my parents know about my disappearance this time, and they must have sent people out to look for me. However, there are refugees everywhere now, so it's too difficult to find someone.
Xie Zirui remembered what the Master had said: if a person encounters a difficulty and cannot solve it on his own, then it is not shameful to accept help from others. Only by lying dormant can there be hope of returning.
Zhang measured Xie Zirui's size and also measured Yun Yiyi's size. As for Yun Yiyi's clothes, Zhang thought she could use the cotton cloth she got today to make a single set of clothes.
"Brother Zirui, I think your skin color is too white. Starting tomorrow, you and your brother will both drive the car outside. It's a good opportunity for you to learn." Yun Yiyi suddenly said.
Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing Yun Yiyi's words. They were talking about something nice, but why did they end up talking about Xie Zirui's pale skin? Everyone was filled with questions.
Yun Yiyi looked at everyone's confused expressions and just laughed.
"Dad, Mom. What I mean is that Brother Zirui is so white, he's too conspicuous. Human traffickers like little kids like him with delicate skin and flesh."
"Brother Zirui is already very thin. If he were to bask in the same amount of sun as us, it wouldn't be noticeable at all. Of course, it's also true that he was asked to learn how to drive a cart."
Everyone looked at Yun Yiyi speechlessly. It’s not because you’re lazy that you let Zirui learn to drive the cart.
Yun Yiyi looked at everyone's expressions and instantly became unhappy.
"Dad, Mom, what are you looking at? I can drive a cart, so I don't need to learn. Besides, there's no farm kid who doesn't know how to drive a cart. Brother Zirui will have to learn sooner or later."
"Brother Zirui, do you think what I said makes sense?" Yun Yiyi blinked her big eyes and looked at Xie Zirui.
Everyone's eyes turned directly to Xie Zirui.
"Yes, Yiyi is right. I am too white like this, and I don't look like a farm kid. As for driving a cart, I will learn it too." Xie Zirui said seriously.
"And Dad and Mom, although human traffickers also like little fat kids like me, I'm good at kung fu. So, when human traffickers see me, they should be afraid of me." Yun Yiyi had a proud expression on her face.
Everyone looked at Yun Yiyi speechlessly. Why was she so narcissistic? Who would like to praise themselves like this?
"Haha, I'm a person who speaks the truth. You should get used to it."
Everyone turned away from Yun Yiyi after hearing her words. Why was this kid getting more and more excited the more he spoke?
"You kids should be more careful and not leave the group alone. Human traffickers are most rampant right now. Even if you're strong and skilled in martial arts, you still have to be afraid of them using knockout drugs."
"That thing is placed on the towel, in the water. If you touch it, or drink the water they give you, you will pass out immediately."
"Especially Yiyi and Zirui, don't take it to heart just because you are good at martial arts. Human traffickers will do anything to get what they want." Zhang couldn't help but say a few more words when talking about human traffickers.
"What your mother said is what I want to say. We have three cars now, and we are relatively spread out. You must take care of yourselves and others. Everyone stay with the team and don't leave the team at will."
"There are so many people in our village team. Even if we encounter human traffickers, they won't dare to approach us. But if you leave the team, the human traffickers won't be afraid. They will definitely find a way to catch you."
"When I was little, I heard adults say that once a child is caught by human traffickers, they will never be found again. The traffickers will sell the children far away."
"The kidnapped children are young and don't remember the way, so they will definitely not be found. So, you must be more vigilant."
