"Everyone, stop running and find something to start a fire! Quick!" A cavalryman rode his horse and ran forward, shouting as he ran.
The crowd, who had been in a panic just now, quickly calmed down and went to find hay and branches to light the fire.
The bats that were still flying towards people quickly fled in all directions after feeling the heat wave from the fire.
"It seems this thing is really afraid of fire. Everyone, light some more fires here. The rest of you can bandage the wounds of the injured. Now we don't have to worry about it. We will all leave with torches later. But before we leave, we must put out the fire here first."
Yuan Yi gave a few simple instructions and ran back to Yuan Xichen.
He kept observing Yuan Xichen and was relieved when he saw that he was not injured.
This time, Yuan Xichen and his team were attacked by bats, and the final statistics showed that there were hundreds of casualties.
This made Yuan Xichen very unhappy. This situation occurred before they even went to the battlefield. It seemed that their awareness of prevention was too weak.
Soon, many fires started to burn around, and the dark group of things in the sky flew out of their sight.
Yuan Yiye specifically instructed everyone to cut the grass around the fire location so that I wouldn't have to worry about the fire spreading.
After this delay, it is probably impossible for them to arrive on time.
After watching the group of things disperse, everyone started making countless torches according to Yuan Yi's demonstration.
Yuan Yi raised the torch he had just made and said loudly, "Pass the order down. Everyone must make sure they have a torch. Also, arrange for a few more teams to patrol, and have the patrolmen light the torches first."
"Those of you who have made torches, put them out immediately. We need to hurry and get on with our journey. We don't know if there will be any more of these things over there, so we're keeping the torches just in case. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand!" Voices came one after another, and everyone got busy.
Yuan Xichen was currently discussing with several important officials whether there was a shorter route.
Yuan Xichen and his friends were not far from their destination, but because they were delayed, they wanted to find a place closer.
The markings on the map are quite detailed, and you can basically see where there are mountains and rivers.
Yuan Yi saw that the prince was discussing with others enthusiastically, so he did not go forward to disturb them. Instead, he observed the nearby terrain from the side.
The terrain here is a relatively steep mountain wall, and there is basically no ambush.
The top of the mountain wall is also bare, mainly because it cannot retain soil and therefore no plants grow.
But this place is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the roads are not very smooth.
If you take a mountain road, you need to take a detour to get out.
Eventually, Yuan Xichen and his companions found a path that saved them a considerable amount of distance. Although they still needed to get out of the mountains first, at least they had found a new way out.
"Let's go! Everyone, help each other out. Anyone injured should get on the horse. We need to speed up our journey later!"
The patrolmen rode their horses and shouted as they went to the back to inform other soldiers.
Soon, Yuan Xichen and his group also headed towards their destination, and this time they moved much faster in order to hurry.
It was already 1:00 p.m., and Yu Qingqing's family, who were getting further and further away from Yuan Xichen, were sitting around the table having a meeting.
This afternoon, Yu Qingshu received a letter personally delivered by Manager Jiang. Yu Qingshu also vaguely felt that the matter was not simple.
After seeing off the shopkeeper Jiang, Yu Qingshu went straight home and asked others to call everyone over.
Yu Qingshu handed the letter directly to Yu Qingqing and asked her to take a look. Yu Qingqing opened it and took a look without any hesitation.
The letter was very simple, saying that Yuan Xichen had gone to stop the enemy, and asked them to contact the manager Jiang directly if they had any problems.
The whole family looked at Yu Qingqing nervously, and everyone was staring at each other.
Yu Qingqing was not panicked after seeing this, but was very calm. After all, she knew in her heart that what was coming could not be avoided.
The only thing that puzzled her was Yuan Xichen's identity. She never expected that he actually held a position in the military.
However, there are many things that are not within her control.
After reading it, Yu Qingqing said bluntly: "Dad, Mom, don't worry too much! We should still follow our plan. Look, we have already dug up a lot today. As for Village Chief Liu and the others, we can't control them. It's up to them.
If there is a special situation, we can just hide downstairs. If it really doesn't work, we still have time to go find Manager Jiang and the others.
"Master Yuan probably wrote to you because he was afraid we'd worry. But this matter only needs to be known to our family members. No one else can tell anyone, understand?" Yu Qingqing said as she placed the envelope she had just read on the fire, igniting it.
Yu Qingqing felt that since others trusted her family so much, they certainly could not fall behind.
After hearing this, Yu Qingshu and his group nodded vigorously and promised not to leak any information.
Now everyone in the Yu family is willing to listen to Yu Qingqing's opinions. After all, she has unique qualities that no one else has.
At this time, Yu Qingqing felt that there was not enough time, and she had to collect everything that could be stored in the shortest time possible.
Although the crops in her space grew well, she couldn't always rely on the things inside.
As the head of the family, Yu Qingshu also started to arrange things. "Everyone, listen to me. We as a family must work together. While others are busy resisting the enemy, we cannot fall behind. Now I will make the arrangements. Everyone will have their own schedules for the day. Once I have made the arrangements, everyone will just follow my instructions."
After Yu Qingshu said this, he did not continue speaking immediately, but looked at his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family.
After all, he is considered a junior, and he cannot ignore his elders at any time.
Hua Manhong noticed his son-in-law's gaze, and he nodded approvingly, motioning him to continue.
Dou Lan'e glanced at her daughter, smiled and nodded, without saying another word.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Yu Qingshu coughed awkwardly a few times before continuing, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law usually help my wife at home with cooking. We'll take care of other things outside. Also, Hua Hongtao will help me dig the basement. This can't be delegated to others."
"Wait, Dad, I have a question. I don't know if I should ask it or not."
