"The fifth point is also the most important one. Everyone must keep an eye on their children. When we are on the road, let the children walk in the team. When resting, control your children and don't run around. If you need to collect firewood, adults can take the children with them. Don't let children go to collect firewood alone. I know that some men in our village don't do housework and rely on women and children to do it. Next time I find a man who doesn't do housework, I will record it for him. When the number of times I record it exceeds five times, then this man can leave Yunjia Village and escape the famine on his own. The village will help take care of the women, the elderly and the children in his family." The village chief said seriously.
After hearing the village chief's words, some men in the village lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Let's set off now while the weather is not too hot." The village chief shouted.
The village chief returned to the front of the group, clearing the way. The twenty or so young men who had been following the group returned to their homes. Now, Yun the Butcher's family remained at the back of the group.
Tonight, the villagers were all slightly injured. While the village chief and others were interrogating the refugee leader, Uncle Wu had already applied medicine to them all.
Yun the Butcher had been hit several times by the two refugee leaders, and his body was probably bruised. However, since they were in a hurry to leave now, they could apply the medicine during the lunch break.
"Yiyi, are you hurt?" Zhang asked, pulling Yun Yiyi's arm.
"Mom, I'm not injured. But my dad should be injured. When we rest later, please help my dad apply the medicine." Yun Yiyi glanced at Yun the Butcher and said.
"Boss, are your injuries serious? How about we apply medicine now?" Zhang asked anxiously.
"Wife, my injury is not serious. I was just hit a few times, and my body has probably turned blue. Let's apply medicine when we rest." Yun the butcher said hurriedly.
"That's good. I thought you were seriously injured." Zhang said.
"Thanks to Yiyi for helping me, otherwise I would have been beaten badly by the refugees tonight." Yun the Butcher said embarrassedly.
"She's your daughter, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. You should be proud of her." Zhang said happily.
"Haha, my daughter is very capable, I am definitely happy." Yun the Butcher said happily.
"Yiyi, are the refugees who came tonight good fighters?" Brother Yun asked curiously.
"Brother, only two refugee leaders have practiced martial arts and are not easy to defeat. The other refugees are easy to defeat." Yun Yiyi said indifferently.
"Yiyi, do you think I can beat them?" asked Third Brother Yun.
"Yes, Yiyi, next time something like this happens, I also want to help." Brother Yun said unwillingly.
"Yiyi, I want to help too." Brother Yun said embarrassedly.
"Brother, second brother, third brother. If they were ordinary refugees, you could defeat them with your strength and a little flexibility. However, if you encounter martial artists, you won't be able to do it." Yun Yiyi told the truth.
"When you have time in the future, please teach us a few moves, Yiyi." said Brother Yun San.
"Okay, I'll teach you some simple moves then. Once you become proficient in them, they'll be quite powerful." Yun Yiyi said readily.
"Yiyi, we will practice hard." This was the voice of Second Brother Yun.
"I believe that all the brothers can train very well. You are all very strong now, but you just don't have any moves. Once you have the moves, you will become even more powerful." Yun Yiyi said.
Yun Yiyi and Yun the Butcher walked side by side at the back. She glanced at the team in front and then looked behind her. The official road behind them was empty, without a single refugee.
Yun Yiyi and the others were still within the city limits. They were leaving the city and preparing to go to the next state. It used to take them more than half a month to get there, but in this situation, they didn't know how long it would take to get there.
Daylight dawned, and the sun slowly rose into the sky. The temperature also gradually climbed. The Yunjia Village team's pace also slowed down. No one had slept well last night, and hadn't eaten this morning. To be honest, everyone was sleepy and hungry.
Yun Yiyi also felt as if her legs were filled with lead as she moved forward step by step. Yun Yiyi shook her head and wiped the sweat off her face with her hand. She turned her head and looked at both sides of the official road. The official road that everyone was walking on had mountains on both sides, and the official road was in the middle. Yun Yiyi looked up and saw many trees on the high mountains, with a hint of green. Halfway up the mountain, you could still see trees and grass. However, they were all withered and yellow. The further you went down the mountain, the fewer trees and grass there were. The foot of the mountain on both sides of the official road were all mountain lands opened up by farmers, and now they were bare with nothing on them.
Yun Yiyi estimated that they had walked about twenty miles since they had just set out. However, seeing that both sides of the official road were bare, there was no way to stop and rest. They could only hope that there would be a suitable resting place ahead.
Yun Yiyi walked out of the group and looked ahead at the official road. She found that the road was climbing up the mountain. Although everyone would be very tired, the higher they went, the easier it would be to find a place to rest.
Yun Yiyi looked back toward the road and saw a group of refugees. They were so far away that she couldn't tell how many there were. However, the line wasn't very long, so Yun Yiyi estimated it wouldn't be too many. Especially since there were people handing out porridge at the city gate, most refugees wouldn't leave on their own accord.
"Everyone, cheer up! Let's walk a little further. If we come across a suitable place to rest, we'll do it. You can see, it's not that I don't want you to rest. The official road is now bare on both sides, and there's no way to rest properly."
"I just observed carefully. The mountain road starts to go up. Look carefully. The higher we go, the more trees there are on the mountain. As long as we come across a place with many trees, we can rest." The village chief shouted at the top of his voice.
After hearing the village chief's words, the villagers all looked up at the mountain, then down at the path. If the village chief hadn't reminded them, they would have thought they were still at the foot of the mountain. This revelation perked up everyone. They should speed up; they'd probably find the right spot soon.
Butcher Yun took Brother Yun's cart and asked him to help Zhang push it, as it would be very tiring for Zhang to push the cart up the hill. Yun Yiyi also came over to Zhang's side and helped push the cart. Fortunately, this official road gradually ascended along the mountain. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for people like Yunjia Village to drive a cart and push a cart at the same time.
