"Well, it's getting cold, and we can't go up the mountain. The kids can have a good rest then."
"Now we just hope that Qingfeng Village, this obstacle, will be interrupted and run away as soon as possible. We have stayed in Shilin Town for too long."
Zhang nodded in agreement. "Boss, when we get on the road again, should we speed up?"
"It's hard to say. As long as the bandits in Qingfeng Village are not eliminated, we can't move forward."
"Either we turn back, or we stay here and wait until someone drives away the bandits from Qingfeng Village."
"But it's difficult." Yun the Butcher said, and sighed sadly.
"Boss, this isn't something we can decide. Let's just go with the flow."
"I know, but I just feel a little bit upset."
"Who says it's not, Boss?"
While Yun the Butcher and Zhang were worried, Li Huailiang had already brought several teams of people to Qingfeng Village and were lurking around them.
Li Huailiang led a group of people through the main gate of Qingfeng Village and came to the back door of Qingfeng Village.
He brought more than ten people and hid behind a big tree more than 20 meters away from the door.
The back door of Qingfeng Village was small, with two large torches stuck next to the wooden door. Near the door, there was a simple shed with the door open.
Li Huailiang stuck his head out and looked through the shed to see four people drinking and chatting inside.
He walked up to higher ground and found that the back gate of Qingfeng Village was far away from the house where the bandits lived in front.
The bandits' residences, including the meeting hall, were mostly concentrated at the main gate of the stronghold.
At this time, torches were burning everywhere in the village, and one could clearly see many bandits drinking and eating in the open space inside the village.
They spoke very loudly, and although I couldn't hear them clearly, I could indeed see quite a few bandits.
However, Li Huailiang also found that there were several houses with no lights coming from inside.
The entire village is shaped like a gourd. Except for the main gate and the back gate, there are tall trees on both sides of the village, and the extremely high fences make it difficult to enter.
It seems that we still have to work hard on the front and back doors of the cottage.
Li Huailiang and his men guarded the back door for more than an hour.
During this time, the four gatekeepers had been drinking. When Li Huailiang left, he could see that everyone in the shed had fallen asleep on the table.
Their snoring was so loud that it was obvious that they were really asleep and not just pretending.
Another major discovery was that during this period, no bandits from the front stronghold came to the back door.
This also means that the bandits in the stronghold will not patrol back and forth in the stronghold at night.
The bandits in the mountain stronghold seemed to be very relaxed and not very vigilant.
However, it is night now, and I don’t know what the situation in the village is like during the day.
So, Li Huailiang decided that starting tomorrow, he would take some people to guard the gate of the mountain village for a day.
We must thoroughly investigate the situation inside the stronghold before sending troops to prevent unnecessary sacrifices.
"Okay, that's enough for tonight. Everyone, go back the way you came. Rest a bit and don't make any noise."
Li Huailiang waved his hand, and everyone turned around, bent their waists, and walked back slowly.
When Li Huailiang led his soldiers back to the camp at the foot of the mountain, everyone in Yunjia Village, except those on night duty, had fallen asleep.
Li Huailiang didn't dare to sleep, and led everyone to analyze the bandits in Qingfeng Village.
Before the reinforcements sent by the eldest prince arrived, he wanted to learn more about Qingfeng Village.
He was busy until two or three in the middle of the night before going to bed.
The night passed peacefully and without incident.
As soon as it was light, Zhang got up to cook.
Butcher Yun added grass to his mule and donkey, then carried his basket to the foot of the mountain to cut grass.
By the time the woods started to become lively, Zhang's meal was ready.
“Boss, bring your brothers and sisters to eat.
"Coming right up, Mom."
Soon, everyone sat down and had a quiet breakfast.
After dinner, Butcher Yun asked, "Yiyi, are you planning to go up the mountain today?"
Yun Yiyi nodded and said, "Dad, we won't go too far. We will be back for lunch at noon."
"Okay, then be careful."
"I know, Dad."
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, the team is heading up the mountain."
"Here I come, Yiyi."
Yun Yiyi carried a stick and walked in front with a swagger.
Brother Yun and the others followed closely behind.
"Brother, I think we should go back to where we dug yams yesterday."
"I've never been around that area before. I think we can wander around a bit more."
"No problem, let's go there."
"Yes, it saves me the trouble of thinking about where to go."
"If we don't find anything else, let's continue digging for wild vegetables. We won't come back empty-handed after all."
"Haha, brother, believe me, I will never come back empty-handed."
"I definitely believe you, Yiyi. But don't feel pressured. As long as it's edible, it's fine."
"Got it, big brother."
They chatted and walked at the same time, and time seemed to pass very quickly.
At this time, the team led by Li Huailiang had been divided into several teams, ambushing at the main gate, back gate, and surrounding areas of Qingfeng Village.
However, considering that it was easier to see during the day, Li Huailiang specifically instructed everyone to stay away from the door to ensure that they would not be discovered by the bandits coming in and out.
More than an hour later, Yun Yiyi and the others arrived at the place where they dug yam yesterday.
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, you guys take a break first. I'm going to take a look ahead and will be back soon."
"Okay, we'll wait for you to come back." Brother Yun said and waved his hand.
Yun Yiyi followed the same path she took yesterday and came to the thorn bush where she caught rabbits.
She picked up the yam that the rabbit had not finished eating yesterday and looked at it carefully. The yam was not very thick and must have been dug out by the rabbit itself.
However, before Brother Yun and the others dug yams yesterday, Yun Yiyi looked carefully and found that there were no signs of the soil there having been dug.
This means that besides the yams we dug yesterday, there is another place where yams grow nearby.
And the distance should not be far. The fact that the rabbit can bring the yam here to eat it explains the problem.
Yun Yiyi looked around and decided to keep moving forward.
The grass ahead was very deep, and Yun Yiyi was busy using a stick to clear a path, and had no time to think about how far she had walked.
When she felt a little tired and stopped to rest with the help of a stick, she inadvertently looked back and realized that she had walked quite far.
She looked around hurriedly, and saw nothing but grass and thorns. If she wasn't careful, her clothes would get caught or her arms and legs would get pricked.
