"Hurry up, there are people chasing us on horseback. If we don't run now, it will be too late."
Yun Yiyi jumped off the mule cart. She looked back and saw that the sound of horse hooves coming from the ferry was getting closer and closer.
She listened carefully and found some shouting and cursing mixed in with the sound of horse hooves.
Yun Yiyi rushed to the front and said, "Dad, big brother, second brother, hurry up, we're catching up. Dad, don't drive on the main road. Turn to the small road next to it and go into the woods."
"Okay, Yiyi, get in the car quickly too."
"I know, Dad."
Yun the Butcher slowed down and turned the car onto a small road nearby.
When they came in the afternoon, they noticed that there was a path here, but no one paid much attention to it.
In a hurry, everyone almost followed the main force. Therefore, the largest number of people ran along the official road.
The Yun family walked stealthily towards the small path without attracting anyone's attention.
I guess even if someone found out, they wouldn't follow the Yun family.
Yun the Butcher and his crew drove on for more than twenty minutes before stopping.
The main reason was that there was a forest at the end of the path, so Yun the Butcher and his companions had no choice but to stop the car and lead the donkey and mule into the woods.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he said, "Dad, you guys keep going forward. I'll go back and find out what's going on."
"Yiyi, I heard that the enemy soldiers kill without blinking an eye. You should escape with us."
Zhang was really trying to persuade him while she was about to cry.
"Yiyi, I just looked and saw that everyone fled along the official road. No one followed us here."
Xie Zirui also advised.
"Yiyi, Dad doesn't want you to go back."
Yun Yiyi wiped her face and said, "Mom and Dad, Brother Zirui, I know you are doing this for my own good. However, if I don't go back to find out the news, we can't hide here forever.
"I'm thinking of crossing the river as soon as possible. That way, we can celebrate the New Year in Yunzhou."
"Of course, don't worry, I won't just rush in and confront them like a fool. I'll come back as soon as I find out the information."
Zhang and Yun the Butcher stopped talking, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
"Dad, Mom, I will definitely be back before dawn."
"Yiyi, how about Dad go with you?"
"Dad, that's really not necessary. You still have to stay home to protect everyone. Besides, I can go there and come back quickly by myself."
Zhang sighed, "Yiyi, remember what you just said. Go and come back quickly."
"Don't worry, mother."
"Oh, Dad, it's still not safe here. You guys should keep going. Also, just stay in the dark. If we light a fire now, we'll be discovered quickly."
"Okay, Yiyi. When you come back, follow this road into the woods and you'll find us."
"I know, Dad."
Yun Yiyi went to the car and took out the iron stick she usually used, then ran back quickly.
"Stop looking and let's keep moving forward."
Zhang reminded Yun the butcher, "Okay. Boss, all of you hold onto the carriage and don't fall down."
"I know, Dad."
Butcher Yun and his family continued to walk deeper into the woods.
Yun Yiyi followed the small path and soon arrived at the main road.
At this time, she found a large group of people riding horses and holding torches, chasing the refugees not far ahead.
Yun Yiyi walked along the road and occasionally found refugees lying on the road.
That is to say, it was at night. If it were daytime, the road would be covered with blood.
She looked to the side and decisively went into the woods on the side of the road.
Then she let go of her hands and feet and walked quickly in the woods.
After about twenty minutes, she caught up with the person in front.
She stuck her head out and saw two teams fighting in the light of torches.
There were dozens of horses parked at the end of the team.
About half of the people immediately sat down, holding torches and knives, pointing at the people fighting.
"I thought tonight's mission would be easy, but I didn't expect to encounter such a tough opponent."
"That's right. Look at those people on the other side. Even though there are only about thirty of them, they managed to block fifty or sixty of us. This is a bit abnormal."
"It's definitely not normal. Even the officers and soldiers at the ferry were killed one by one by us."
"Are these people refugees? How come they are so good at fighting?"
"Anyway, they're not like the refugees we encountered before. Those refugees, seeing their numbers, just scattered when they saw us. When they were caught, they knelt and begged for mercy, but rarely did they resist like this."
"So, something strange is going on tonight."
Yun Yiyi quietly came to a place not far from the horses and hid in the bushes on the side.
In order to avoid being discovered, she also put a handful of hay on her head.
As she got closer, she could see that the people in the chaotic battle who spoke in a very different way from her were the enemy soldiers.
The other group of people turned out to be people Yun Yiyi knew, the ones who had hunted wild boars and tigers with her before.
However, seeing that there weren't enough people, I guess they got separated accidentally.
Behind the two groups of people was a large group of refugees. The refugees did not dare to move forward because next to them stood a group of soldiers with swords.
Yun Yiyi secretly counted and estimated that there were more than ten people.
She saw some refugees who didn't believe in evil suddenly running out, and was chased by enemy soldiers and hacked at.
The refugee screamed and fell to the ground. The enemy soldiers heard the screams, but remained calm and continued to advance and stab him several more times.
Soon, the fleeing refugees fell silent. They were probably killed.
In a short while, the enemy soldiers had killed five or six refugees.
At the beginning, there were intermittent cries in the refugee group. But when the enemy soldiers walked around the refugee group with bloody knives, the group became quiet.
There were many children among the refugees, and their mouths were probably covered by adults.
The number of refugees seemed to be much greater than that of enemy soldiers, but not a single one came out to kill the enemy soldiers.
Yun Yiyi smiled bitterly and shook her head, then she turned her attention back to the two groups that were still fighting.
Yun Yiyi looked at Uncle Li's side and saw that although there were not many people, their morale was high.
Basically, one of them can fight two enemy soldiers and not be at a disadvantage.
The key point is that there are dozens of enemy soldiers watching with eager eyes. If the fight continues, Uncle Li and his men will also suffer casualties.
Yun Yiyi didn’t know why Uncle Li, who brought people to the ferry this afternoon, was not there now.
Seeing the ruthlessness of the enemy soldiers, she estimated that all the officers and soldiers on the other side of the ferry must have met with an accident.
What should I do? I must think of a way to help Uncle Li and the others.
