"Yiyi, I understand you wanting everyone to get some information, but even after getting the information, we still don't have any way to safely pass through Qingfeng Village, right?"
Yun Yiyi looked at the village chief and villagers who were all puzzled, and she said, "The reason I asked everyone to inquire about the news is because there are more refugees who want to pass through Qingfeng Village safely than just us.
You can walk around outside of Shilin Town. There are too many refugees trying to pass through Qingfeng Village. Everyone is afraid of the bandits in Qingfeng Village. Everyone is waiting and watching.
So, what we need to do is to see if we can pick up some gaps behind other people's teams when refugees can't help but set off.
So now it depends on everyone's patience. Whoever has less patience will be unable to hold back and set off.
I don't want Yunjia Village to be the first to set out, not only because we don't have many people, we will definitely not be able to defeat the bandits in Qingfeng Village.
The main reason is that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot, and the one who rushes to the front is also the most dangerous.
If we run into the bandits from Qingfeng Village, we probably won’t even have a chance to escape before we’ll be wiped out.”
After hearing Yun Yiyi's words, everyone started discussing again.
"What Yiyi said makes sense. We definitely can't go in the front. It's too dangerous."
"Yes, it's safest to hide behind other people's teams. If there's any disturbance, we'll have time to escape."
"Yeah, only a fool would rush to the front at this time."
"What you said means that there must be some refugees who are impatient and want to move on."
"Yeah, let's listen to Yiyi. I think what she says makes sense."
"Yeah, let us figure it out ourselves. We can't figure it out that clearly."
"Elder, do you think what Yiyi said makes sense? How about we do as she says?"
The elder looked up at Yun Yiyi, then lowered his head and whispered, "Yiyi is an unusually smart child, and she also considers the overall situation."
"It is a blessing for our village to have Yun Yiyi."
"Yes, big brother is right. Yiyi has explained the matter very clearly. If we were to explain it to the villagers ourselves, it would take us three to five days to explain it clearly."
"I also think what Yiyi said makes sense. Look, with just a few words, she dispelled all the villagers' other ideas."
"Anyway, I can't do what Yun Yiyi did. After dealing with the villagers for so many years, I know that when they encounter problems, they usually don't just follow what others say.
Villagers generally don't have their own ideas, but when others come up with solutions, they tend to refute them. This is the first time I've seen something like this happen today."
The village chief looked at the second elder, who also had an expression of approval on his face. The village chief had the most dealings with the villagers and had seen them being unreasonable.
"Okay, no need to say any more. Since Yiyi has come up with a solution for us, let's do as she says."
The village chief whispered, "Okay, Great Elder, I understand what you mean."
Yun Yiyi saw that everyone had been talking for a while, so she waved her hand and interrupted the conversation.
"Alright, I'll have the village chief arrange for someone to go out and gather information. The rest of you can just rest at home."
"Also, I would like to remind everyone that even if you need to go out to dig wild vegetables or collect firewood, you can do so nearby and not too far away."
"You have to understand that not only will we go to Shilin Town to gather information, but the bandits in Qingfeng Village will also go there to gather information."
"If anyone goes out alone, they might run into bandits from Qingfeng Village. For safety, everyone should stay here quietly."
"After all, the bandits from Qingfeng Village haven't come down the mountain to collect food yet. Even if we encounter the bandits from Qingfeng Village outside, they are only a few in number."
"With so many of us gathered together, the scattered bandits from Qingfeng Village won't dare to come and provoke us."
"By the way, I have to remind everyone that we can send people out to other refugee groups to inquire about the news. Then other refugee groups will definitely send people out to inquire about the news."
"For everyone's safety, please keep your mouths shut. Don't talk too much, don't talk nonsense. Try not to be alone."
"Generally, people who are looking for information tend to look for people who are alone."
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Let's listen to the village chief's arrangements later."
"Uncle Village Chief, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going back now."
The village chief smiled and said, "Okay, Yiyi, go back now. I'll take care of the rest."
Yun Yiyi nodded and walked through the crowd.
The village chief looked at everyone and said, "Yiyi has just told everyone what to pay attention to, so I won't repeat it."
"Anyone who wants to go out and inquire about the news can come to me and sign up. I won't call out any names."
"Okay, it's okay, everyone can go home."
After hearing the village chief's words, some villagers turned around and walked back.
Some villagers went to see the village chief and volunteered to go out and inquire about the news.
Some villagers stood there and talked loudly.
When Yun Yiyi was walking back, she saw Xie Zirui standing outside the crowd.
"Yiyi, you were so cool just now. I didn't expect you could make everyone in the village listen to you."
Yun Yiyi curled her lips and said, "Brother Zirui, please stop laughing at me. I had no choice but to stand up."
"You don't know, the village has already held two meetings, and still hasn't come up with an effective solution. It's just a bunch of people arguing back and forth."
"I watched them arguing and felt they were wasting their time. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I stood up."
"Yiyi, you are so amazing. Many adults can't do what you do." Xie Zirui said with admiration.
"Hey, Brother Zirui, as long as we live in the village, we will be inseparable from it. Only by working together can we reach the destination together."
"Actually, when the villagers first decided to flee the famine, I thought about what happened today."
"It's not the villagers' fault, actually. Most of them have never been far away and don't have much experience. It's not their fault."
"Yiyi, I didn't expect you to think so far."
"Brother Zirui, you haven't lived in the village for a long time, so you don't understand. The way the villagers live hasn't changed much."
"We work from sunrise to sunset. Every day is a repeat of yesterday's. If it weren't for the drought, everyone would have fled the famine. We might have lived a life that we could see the end of for the rest of our lives."
"Brother Zirui, imagine a villager who grows up, gets married, has children, and then his children repeat his life."
After hearing this, Xie Zirui shook his head a little uncomfortably, "Yiyi, I can imagine it, but I can't live like that."
