"Dad is right. Most people can't do the job of village chief. It requires worrying every day."
After hearing what Yun Yiyi said, Yun the Butcher and Zhang both laughed.
However, this afternoon was a really chaotic one.
When the village chief struck the gong and called everyone to set off, many families still hadn't cooked their meals yet.
"Village chief, please give us a little more time. My rice is not cooked yet. It's still in the pot."
"Yes, Village Chief, I thought the lunch break would be the same as before, still two hours long. So I didn't make any preparations."
"Village Chief, the rice is cooked and we can eat it on the way. But the rice is in the pot, what should we do? We can't eat uncooked rice, right?"
"Village Chief, please give us more time today. Don't worry, tomorrow at noon, if you say one hour, we will definitely not delay even a minute."
"Village chief, please say something."
The village chief listened patiently to everyone's complaints. When everyone stopped talking, he spoke, "Okay, today is the first day, I'll give everyone another forty minutes."
"Those of you who have finished your meal, hurry up and pack up, then take a rest."
"The meal isn't ready yet, hurry up and make it. Once it's cooked, eat it quickly."
"I won't let you off tomorrow. The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. We must hurry and travel."
"Village chief, please put your mind at ease."
"Thank you, village chief."
"Wife, is the meal ready? The children are hungry."
"It's cooked. Just serve it and you can eat."
All of a sudden, the scene became lively again.
The village chief shook his head and went back to rest. It seemed that they had been resting outside of Shilin Town for too long and everyone had become lazy.
Forty minutes later, everyone finished their meal and packed up.
The village chief struck the gong twice, and everyone lined up and continued their journey.
After traveling for the entire afternoon, the people from Yunjia Village finally arrived at the official road below Qingfeng Village in the evening.
It was estimated that it would be dark in less than an hour. After parking the car, everyone was busy setting up the stove to cook.
At the Yun family's home, Yun the Butcher and Zhang were setting up a stove to cook, while the eldest and second Yun brothers were busy gathering firewood in the woods.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Yun Yiyi asked Third Brother Yun and Xie Zirui to stay next to the carriage.
She secretly walked around.
She didn't dare to go too far. She walked to the front of the Yun family team and saw two refugee teams not far ahead.
Those people were also busy setting up the stove and cooking.
On the official road, there were still refugees moving forward. They probably wanted to rest up ahead.
Yun Yiyi walked back and when she arrived next to her own carriage, she found that a group of refugees had also arrived more than 30 meters away from her home.
There was a lot of noise all around.
Yun Yiyi was annoyed by the noise, so she went into the carriage and lay down.
Suddenly, she heard the peddler's voice.
She lifted the curtain and saw that, as expected, several peddlers had joined their group.
As soon as the peddler shouted, many women in the village gathered around him.
"Mom, there's a peddler coming to the village. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
"Ah, there are peddlers coming here now? It's almost dark now."
As Zhang spoke, she told Yun the butcher to watch the rice in the pot while she went to take a look.
"Yiyi, Zirui, the eldest, the second, and the third, who among you wants to go with mother to take a look?"
Both Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun shook their heads, indicating that they didn't want to go.
In the end, Zhang took Xie Zirui, Yun Yiyi, and Yun San Ge with her.
When they arrived at the place, Zhang squeezed in.
Third Brother Yun also squeezed in.
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui stood by and waited for them.
Suddenly, a tall peddler came over and greeted Xie Zirui.
Yun Yiyi looked at Xie Zirui in surprise.
Xie Zirui tilted his head and whispered, "Yiyi, this is the person the master sent to pick me up."
Yun Yiyi looked up at the tall peddler. To be honest, he was definitely not a peddler. He really didn't look like one at all.
That man's eyes were too sharp, not the look a peddler should have.
"Yiyi, please help me look around while I talk to him. Don't worry, he's right next to us, you can see us."
"Okay, Brother Zirui, go ahead."
Xie Zirui and the tall peddler walked to a big rock beside the official road and stopped.
Of course, Yun Yiyi could still see them.
"Young Master, the military advisor sent a letter saying that you should continue to stay with your current family and go to Yunzhou with them."
After hearing this, Xie Zirui looked surprised, but he didn't say anything.
"Military Advisor means that this way, no one will notice you. You will also be safer."
"But don't worry, the military advisor asked me to bring a team of sixty people to follow you to Yunzhou."
"After I send you to Yunzhou, I will bring people back to the base."
Xie Zirui tried hard to suppress his laughter, "Okay, I understand. I will continue to follow the Yun family on their journey. However, most of their family members don't know that someone is coming to pick me up."
"The only one who knows about this is the sister you just met. So, let's keep in touch quietly."
"You don't have to send me gifts or money. I have enough food to eat and warm clothes in the Yun family. Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun, as well as his brothers and sisters, are all very kind to me."
"I don't want them to be sad. I'll wait until we get to Yunzhou and then explain this to Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun in person."
"Okay, then I will follow the young prince's instructions. Don't worry, I will write to the military advisor and the eldest prince to convey your words."
"Okay, I'll go back first. We can talk again when we have time."
"good."
After Xie Zirui finished speaking, he turned around and went to look for Yun Yiyi.
He pulled Yun Yiyi aside, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and then whispered, "Yiyi, the people sent by the master have changed their minds. They told me to continue following your family."
"But don't worry, the people sent by the master will also accompany us on the journey. If there is any danger, they will come to help."
Yun Yiyi suddenly understood after hearing this, "Brother Zirui, no wonder you are so happy. This is good news. We can travel together again."
Xie Zirui also kept nodding his head.
"Brother Zirui, this is something only we two know about. Don't tell anyone else."
"Okay, Yiyi. I'll listen to you."
"By the way, Brother Zirui, they didn't take you back. Is it because something happened?"
"Brother Zirui, if you can't tell me, you don't have to tell me." Yun Yiyi quickly added.
Xie Zirui shook his head. "Yiyi, nothing happened. It was the master who decided this way because he thought it would be more low-key and safer to travel this way."
