Holding a flashlight, Yu Yin ran all the way to the Dai village, as if she were being chased. Without even wiping the sweat from her brow, Yu Yin ran to A Xiang's house.
Thankfully, the campfire hasn't gone out; they must still be awake.
"Uncle, are you asleep?"
Ah Xiang's father was a soldier and can speak Chinese.
Who is it?
"It's me, Yu Yin, Uncle. I have something important to tell you."
"They're here."
Ta-da... Uncle came down.
"Why did you come so late? It's not safe."
"Uncle, let's get down to business first. My friend told me that the old forces of the Revolutionary Committee are trying to cause trouble. Someone gave them a tip-off, saying that there are a lot of chickens being raised privately in the village, which is exploiting socialism. They're also selling chickens and eggs, which is speculation. I don't know when they'll come to raid our homes, so I came here tonight to warn them and prepare in advance. We've taken everything that needs to be taken away. Without evidence, they can't do anything."
The uncle understood, broke out in a cold sweat, and felt a lingering fear.

"Alright, Uncle thanks you on behalf of the village. I'll get everyone together to pack up now. You rest for a bit, and I'll find someone to take you back."
"Uncle, don't worry about me. Keep it quiet. We're not far away, so don't attract their attention. As long as they don't find anything, the new Revolutionary Committee director will be able to suppress them."
"Okay, Uncle understands."
Yu Yin didn't let them deliver it, to avoid making a fuss. She jogged home herself, and thankfully everything went smoothly.
"Are you alright? Come in and wash up."
Hearing the noise, Lu Shurui opened the door, pulled Yu Yin in, and told her to go wash up, as she was covered in sweat.
"Okay, it's nothing, don't worry."
After taking a shower, Yu Yin went to bed. Lu Shurui held her tightly in his arms; she could hear his heart pounding, and she slowly drifted off to sleep.
