Xie Zirui felt it was too noisy to stay here, so he turned around and walked towards the Yun family.
"Zirui, why did you come back by yourself?" Second Brother Yun looked at Xie Zirui in surprise.
"Brother, there were too many people at the peddler's place. Aunt and the villagers were all surrounding the peddler to buy things. I couldn't help them, so I came back first."
"Is that so? Then come and help me light the fire."
"Here I come, second brother."
On the mountain, Butcher Yun and Brother Yun also picked all the fruits from the second persimmon tree.
"Yiyi, we only have peaches left on this tree. Why don't you and Lao San pick some first?"
"Your eldest brother and I will carry the persimmons back first. This will save some time."
Yun Yiyi's voice came from the peach tree, "Dad, you and big brother should carry the persimmons a little above where we dug the water hole."
"Don't store them in the woods right next to the watering hole. If someone comes by, they'll see them."
Butcher Yun clapped his hands. "Great, Yiyi. Thank goodness you reminded me. I was planning to store the persimmons in the woods near the waterhole."
"Haha, Dad, it seems that my reminder was timely."
"Okay, Yiyi, Third Brother, you two take your time. The eldest brother and I will be leaving first."
"I know, Dad."
"I heard you, Dad."
Brother Yun and Butcher Yun covered the basket with weeds and walked back.
A total of four and a half baskets of persimmons were picked from the two persimmon trees, which was enough for Butcher Yun and Brother Yun to carry them twice.
Yun Yiyi and Third Brother Yun picked two not-very-full baskets of peaches from the peach tree.
I guess all the peaches from the remaining peach tree have been picked, so there will definitely be three baskets of peaches.
"Third brother, we have to speed up. Otherwise, we will really have to go down the mountain in the dark today."
"Okay, Yiyi, I'm trying to speed up."
In this way, when Yun the Butcher and Brother Yun came back, Yun Yiyi and the others had already picked all the peaches from the last peach tree.
"Dad, let me help carry it too. It would take you and my brother forever to carry it."
Butcher Yun thought for a moment and decided that strength lies in numbers. "Okay, Third Brother, you carry the basket of persimmons that's not very full."
So, this time, Yun the Butcher, his father, and his sons made the haul together. Yun the Butcher and Big Brother Yun even used Yun Yiyi's iron stick to carry a basket of peaches.
Watching the figures of Yun the Butcher and the others gradually disappear in the woods, Yun Yiyi happily flashed into the space.
I have to enter the space, the little wild boar is waiting to be fed.
Yun Yiyi finished feeding the wild boar and put the vegetables in. She drank two bowls of water herself and quickly left the space.
The sun in the sky slowly set in the west, and Yun Yi leaned against the persimmon tree, drowsy.
When she woke up again, it was Brother Yun San who woke her up.
"Yiyi, don't sleep anymore, we have to go down the mountain."
Yun Yiyi rubbed her eyes and felt her head a little heavy.
She shook her head and said, "Okay, Third Brother. Let's go."
Butcher Yun carried a basket of peaches, Brother Yun carried a basket of peaches, and Brother Yun III carried most of the basket.
There was still a basket full of peaches left, which was carried away by Yun the Butcher and Brother Yun as usual.
Several people chased after them closely, and when they reached the mountain stream, the sun was very close to setting.
So, several people did not dare to rest and continued to walk down the mountain quickly.
By the time a few people got home, the sun was almost setting.
"Wife, second brother, don't be busy yet, come with me up the mountain and carry the things."
Butcher Yun hid all the baskets inside the carriage.
Zhang asked anxiously, "Master, is there anything you haven't brought back from the mountain?"
Butcher Yun replied quietly, "Yes, there are still several baskets on the mountain that have not been brought back. Let's hurry and go before it gets completely dark."
"It's fine as long as Yiyi and Zirui are at home. By the way, wife, have you prepared the meal?"
"If it's not done, just wait until we get back to do it. Time really doesn't wait for anyone."
"Boss, the dumplings are all ready. Let's go down the mountain first."
Butcher Yun went into the carriage and found a torch he had made earlier and put it in the basket.
"Okay, wife, eldest, second, and third, let's go up the mountain now. Don't waste any time, hurry up."
"It's dark now. It's easy to fall when walking on the mountain road."
After Yun the Butcher finished speaking, he took the lead and walked up the mountain.
Zhang, with the three Yun brothers, walked behind them. "Yiyi, Zirui, it's going to be dark soon. You two should light the oil lamps and wait for me to come back and make dumplings."
"I understand, Mom." Yun Yiyi waved her little hand obediently.
"Okay, auntie." Xie Zirui also responded obediently.
Zhang was a little worried, but she didn't have time to think about anything else. Yun the Butcher was getting faster and faster, and he would fall behind if he was distracted.
Zhang hurriedly concentrated on her journey.
At the inn in Shilin Town, the daily questioning is still going on.
"Did you gain anything today? By the way, did you tell the refugees about the brutality of the Qingfeng Village bandits?"
"General, today we are doing the same thing as yesterday. We are selling things first and spreading rumors later."
"Don't worry, those refugees outside the town will spread these rumors before tomorrow."
"That's good. Did you meet any suitable children today?"
The tall man who pretended to be a peddler in Yunjia Village looked at the person sitting in the main seat with some confusion.
"General, I was in a refugee group called Yunjia Village and saw a child who looked familiar."
"What did you say? Say it again?" Li Huailiang excitedly knocked over all the tea bowls on the table.
The tea bowl fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and the tea spilled all over the floor.
The soldiers standing in the room looked at the general in surprise, not understanding why he was so excited.
Suddenly, Li Huailiang remembered something.
"You stay here, and the others go out and guard the door. Don't let anyone in."
"By the way, send two people to guard the back window as well."
As soon as Li Huailiang finished speaking, the others quietly left the room.
At this time, Li Huailiang could no longer suppress his excitement, and he quickly walked to the tall man.
"Tell me quickly, what does that familiar kid you saw today look like?"
The tall man was a little confused, but he quickly replied, "General, the child is a boy, about six or seven years old."
"His face was very dark, just like the other refugee children. The clothes he wore were also the coarse cloth of a farmer."
"But he looks pretty tall. He's definitely taller than most kids his age."
"These are not the most important things. The main thing is this child's eyes. They look very familiar to me."
