Especially the half year of escape made him firm in his thinking.
However, if there is that interesting little girl by your side, even the most difficult road will become interesting.
Thinking of this, Xie Zirui smiled and looked at Yun Yiyi who was chatting with the Yun brothers.
Apart from the world and the people, this might be what he desires most.
"Brother Zirui, what are you thinking about? I'm talking to you, but you don't say a word."
Xie Zirui was suddenly awakened by the small hand shaking in front of him, "Yiyi, what did you say? Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Yun Yiyi sat directly next to him, "Brother Zirui, do you have any plans?"
Xie Zirui thought for a moment and said, "Yiyi, let's cross the river together tomorrow. However, after crossing the river, we may have to separate."
Yun Yiyi sighed, "Brother Zirui, tell your family about your departure after you cross the river tomorrow."
"Okay, now that everyone is so happy, I won't say anything that will spoil the fun."
Yun Yiyi nodded in agreement.
"Yiyi, before it gets completely dark, can I teach you a few more words?"
"No way, Brother Zirui, haven't you had enough of being a gentleman yet?"
"You're about to leave, why don't you let me relax for a while?"
Xie Zirui was stunned, with embarrassment on his face, "Yiyi. How about we not learn to read and chat."
"Okay, Brother Zirui." Yun Yiyi immediately smiled.
Xie Zirui touched his face and fell silent for a rare moment.
Night fell quickly.
As the year draws to a close, the temperature is extremely low. Unless the family is in a particularly difficult situation, they will avoid sleeping on the floor.
It's really easy to catch a cold and have a fever the next day if you sleep outside for a night.
In Yunjia Village, where we are stationed today is at the foot of a hill.
The trees are sparse, but they can still block the wind.
The places everyone chose are not far away.
As the night deepened, the trees gradually became quiet except for the still burning fire.
On the Yun family's side, Yun the butcher lined up three cars together and built a big bonfire outside.
We were so excited that we couldn't sleep, but we couldn't resist the fatigue and gradually fell asleep.
Soon it was the second half of the night, when most people were fast asleep, when suddenly the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
After a while, screams, cries for help, and the barking of hungry dogs could all be heard.
Yun Yiyi was the first to wake up. She quickly put on her clothes and shoes.
When she jumped off the carriage and looked in the direction of the sound, she found that it was next to the ferry, where the people sent by the government were stationed.
When choosing the location, the village chief specifically chose this hill, which is about a mile away from the ferry.
Looking over there now, there are a lot of people walking around, and it seems that they were attacked by surprise.
Yun Yiyi was startled. She hurried to the carriage where Yun the Butcher was sleeping and said, "Dad, wake up quickly. Something's happened."
Yun Yiyi called out several times before Yun the Butcher responded, "What's wrong, Yiyi? Is it daybreak yet?"
"Dad, someone attacked the place where the soldiers were stationed next to the ferry. We have to get up quickly. This place is not safe anymore."
"What's going on, Yiyi? Isn't this ferry quite safe?"
Yun the butcher, without even putting on his clothes, stuck his head out and looked towards the place where the fire was.
Although it was far away, the noise was quite loud and Yun the Butcher also noticed something was wrong.
"Yiyi, wake up your brother and the others. We're going to move. I'll go wake up your mother."
"I know, Dad."
The situation was urgent. Yun Yiyi climbed onto the carriage and clapped her brothers who were still sleeping inside, "Brother, wake up quickly, the enemy is attacking."
She saw that Brother Yun and Xie Zirui were both woken up by her, and she left a sentence, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, it's not safe here."
Next, she used the same method to wake up the second and third brothers Yun.
Seeing that the fire ahead was getting bigger and bigger and the noise was getting louder, she quickly turned around and rushed towards the village.
At this time, she couldn't make any loud noise, so Yun Yiyi could only use the most stupid method. She shook the carriage hard a few times, and with her shouting, the people sleeping inside were quickly woken up.
Then, she would go to the next house to wake up the next one. Of course, if she met someone sleeping on the floor, she would usually kick their mat hard.
Although the action is rough, the effect is very good.
Soon, she met the village chief who was also calling for help.
"Uncle Village Chief, there's an attack at the ferry. We have to retreat back the way we came."
"Also, please tell everyone to leave their belongings behind and get out of here. Saving your life is the most important thing."
"Yiyi, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"You're right, Uncle Village Chief. My house is closest to the ferry. Not only can I see clearly, I can hear clearly too."
"I'm worried that if we run away too late, we won't be able to escape. After all, we're only a mile away from the ferry."
The village chief was shocked. "Okay, Yiyi, I'll tell everyone to prepare to retreat now."
"In this situation, everyone should retreat, village chief."
"Okay, Yiyi."
After the village chief finished speaking, he turned around and went to inform the villagers.
Yun Yiyi quickly ran back home. Yun the Butcher and the others had already packed up and were waiting for her.
"Dad, let's drive to the main road and retreat the way we came. If we retreat to the mountains, it will be dark and we won't be able to see the road clearly."
"Okay, let's head to the main road."
Soon, the Yun family drove mule carts and donkey carts to the main road.
There was moonlight in the sky, so I could vaguely see the road, but I couldn't make out the stones on the road.
The donkey cart driven by Second Brother Yun was in the front, Yun the Butcher was in the middle, Yun Yiyi, Big Brother Yun, and the mule cart driven by Xie Zirui were at the back.
The noise was getting louder and louder, and more and more people were coming onto the road.
At the beginning, the speed of driving the car was the fastest, but later when more people came, everyone's speed slowed down.
"What's going on? Does anyone know what happened? I was woken up by the villagers and ran away with my family without even packing my things."
"Don't complain. My clothes are still on, and my shoes are still there, thanks to my youth."
"I heard that there are enemy soldiers coming from the ferry."
"Really? I heard from others that this ferry has always been safe. How come there are enemy soldiers coming here suddenly?"
"Why else? They have a few games every winter. I guess they chose this place this year."
"Then we are really unlucky."
