It hasn't been long since Yun Dazheng distributed the 'grain seeds' to everyone, and everyone's hearts are already with Yun Dazheng's family.
Since they had obtained the seeds, and if they could actually grow food from them, they hoped to plant more for a few years to earn some money. They didn't want others to get them; otherwise, they would only have more food, not much money at all...
So, no one is stupid. Even farmers who toil in the fields all day long have their own little schemes and ulterior motives.
Because of this, as soon as they saw Xiao Desheng, they sent their children down the slope to take a shortcut to Yun Dazheng's house to deliver the message.
“Yunduo, Yunduo, Xiao Desheng, the seed seller, is here. My dad (mom) (grandpa) asked me to tell you to be careful.”
“Yunduo, Yunduo, Xiao Desheng brought a lot of people, and they all look very fierce. My dad told me to tell you that he took a back road to the county. He told you not to be afraid and to stall them for now.”
...
More than one child came to deliver the message, and Yun Duo was very grateful to them. She took out a candy box and gave each child who came to deliver the message a handful of candy. Then she told them to leave and specifically told them to walk up the slope behind the house so that they wouldn't be discovered by the people coming from outside.
Those who came to deliver the message responded readily because of the candy—completely unaware that the cloud was the same size as them, or even smaller. They simply obediently agreed and then ran off with the candy in hand.
Since Yun Dazheng already knows that Gu Wu and his group were sent by Yun Duo's biological parents, and it's considered that they've been formally acknowledged, Gu Wu now spends most of his time with Yun Duo.
So, once the children who came to deliver the news left, Gu Wu said to Yun Duo, "Miss, why don't you go inside with Grandpa Yun and Grandma Yun and leave for a while? I've already sent someone to check. If there's really any danger, Miss, you should wait until we've dealt with the danger before coming out."
Both their courtyard and the Yun family's courtyard were built with huge stone blocks, and the doors were heavy iron doors. The windows were fitted with iron bars as thick as a baby's arm, as well as steel plates to keep out the light.
As long as Yun Duo and the others go back inside and close the doors and windows, as long as the visitors don't bring portable artillery, even if they have guns, it won't be easy for them to get into the house in a short time.
Of course, with them around, ordinary people can't get into the house. Besides... how many powerful people could a small-time merchant bring? At most, just a few thugs. Once two are dealt with, the others will behave.
The reason for letting Yunduo and the others into the house was simply to prevent them from being accidentally injured in case a fight broke out.
Similarly, sending someone to check was also just to be on the safe side.
“No need, Uncle Wu.” Hearing Gu Wu’s words, Yun Duo shook her head and said, “Let’s see what Xiao Desheng and the people he brought want to do first. Then we’ll decide what to do.” She paused and looked at Yun Dazheng and Yun Qishi, “Grandpa and Grandma, you go inside. Duo’er will deal with them outside.”
Yun Dazheng also shook his head: "Nonsense, Grandpa is the head of the family. How can Grandpa, the head of the family, hide away and let a child like you face anything? Listen to your Uncle Wu, you and your grandma go back to the house first, Grandpa can stay outside."
"I want to see what this Xiao Desheng is really up to!"
