"No! Brother, I'm not going! We're going south with our people."
Seeing that his sister had figured out the key point, Lin Zhaohui softened his voice.
“Life is hard when you live under someone else’s roof. Climbing up comes at a price. The brother is unwilling to trade his sister for such wealth and glory.”
Lin Qiutao was deeply moved by his words.
"Let's just follow our people south; at least we'll have someone to look after us..."
The brother and sister walked away talking, and the woods returned to silence.
It's hard to believe that Lin Zhaohui is the kind of person who dotes on his younger sister.
Suddenly, something hit Lin Yinan's face. When she took it off, she found it was a small green fruit, about the size of a soybean, that had grown on the tree.
She pinched it open, brought it to her nose, and smelled it. What a pity, it looked like it couldn't be eaten.
She threw away the fruit in her hand and closed her eyes to rest again.
Another fruit hit her in the face. Lin Yinan opened her eyes halfway and tried to ignore it, but then several more fruits hit her in the face.
No, the fruit didn't fall from above her head; it came hurtling towards her from another direction.
Someone deliberately threw things at her!
She suddenly opened her eyes and turned her head to look in the direction from which the fruit had been thrown.
As dusk fell, Lin Yinan saw Yun Mo and several of his men leisurely lying on another large tree.
Yun Er sat on the tree trunk, facing her, one hand raised in mid-air, the other hand clutching a handful of green fruit. He hadn't expected Lin Yinan to react so quickly.
"Hi! What a coincidence, Miss Lin, you're here too!"
He threw what he was holding on the ground and greeted her in a dry, curt manner.
Seeing his humiliated state, Yun Wu and the others laughed with a hint of schadenfreude.
Lin Yinan waved the fruit in her hand, feigning ignorance, "Did you throw this at me?"
Yun Er gave an awkward laugh, "It's nothing, I just wanted to say hello to you."
Lin Yinan gave a forced smile, "Your way of greeting people is quite unique."
Unable to sleep, she simply climbed down from the tree.
"We're so close, don't mind."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Yun Er thought that he had angered her and hurriedly explained.
Yun Wu gestured towards the people carrying torches in the distance, saying, "Her family has come looking for her."
"Miss Lin."
Yun Mo quietly climbed down the tree and came to her side.
Lin Yinan turned her head, and Yun Mo saw his own reflection in her clear eyes.
He paused for a moment, then came to his senses and said casually, "It's at most two days' journey from here to Gudao County."
He called out to her; there was more to it than just that.
Knowing nothing about that area, he asked, "Can your people in Gudao County come into the city to make purchases?"
"Yes, may I ask what you would like to buy, young lady?"
Lin Yinan said, "The people in our village left in a hurry and didn't bring many warm clothes. We want to buy some cloth, cotton, salt, and common medicines."
"No problem, I'll write to the people there and ask them to help with the procurement in advance."
Yun Yi and the others had almost finished their preparations over there. They hadn't bought many of these things, but Lin's words reminded him of something.
Lin Yinan took out a silver note from his pocket. "Can this silver note still be used?"
Yun Mo's eyes shone brightly as he saw the stamp on the banknote. "It's usable."
Upon hearing that it could be used, Lin Yinan pulled out a large stack of silver notes from his pocket.
"Please help me exchange all this money for supplies."
Yun Mo took the silver notes, his thick, dark eyebrows furrowing as a question arose in his mind: how could a young lady carry so many silver notes with her?
Seemingly noticing his confusion, Lin Yinan said, "The silver notes were all picked up in Pingcheng."
Yun Mo immediately understood and stuffed the silver note, still warm from her body, into his pocket.
"I, Yun, will certainly not let you down."
Lin Yinan nodded slightly, preparing to turn and leave, "In that case, I thank Young Master Yun in advance."
"I wonder what Miss Lin's plans are after arriving in Gudao County?" Yun Mo asked again.
"Weren't we heading south with you? What, you're not going south anymore?" Lin Yinan was taken aback; she hadn't heard Lin Yiheng mention this before.
Yun Mo's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "Winter is coming soon, and heavy snow is on the way. We plan to spend this winter and then head south again next spring."
"Heavy snow?"
In her previous life, it had stopped snowing in her world long ago. For more than a decade, there was only one season, neither hot nor cold, and the sky was always gray. But when she came here, she forgot about the climate change.
Yun Mo's eyes fell on her cheeks, his gaze like two cold beams piercing straight to her heart, as if she were oblivious to the changing seasons.
"Haven't you noticed, young lady, that although it's hot during the day, it gets colder and colder at night?"
Lin Yinan looked up, meeting his gaze, her face open and honest, "What are your plans?"
Yun Mo was defeated by her gaze and dared not meet her eyes. This girl was unusually bold to actually look him in the eye.
"There is a mountain range called Qingfeng Mountain between Gudao County and Qingdao County. A bandit gang has been lurking on the mountain for many years. I want to lead a group of people to wipe out that bandit gang."
The idea of destroying the bandits' den and becoming the king himself seems like a good one.
This bandit group has not been wiped out by the government for many years. The place that Yun Mo has taken a liking to must have something special about it.
How confident are you?
"Seventy percent."
Lin Yinan felt that since he was so confident, there must be more than just this many people.
How many members of the Yun family are still in Gudao County?
Yun Mo's eyes were clear and firm. "Nearly five hundred Jingwei."
Lin Yinan was shocked. Since the Yun family had so many people, she decided to take a gamble.
