Chapter 65: Bringing the Clan into the City
Chapter 65: Bringing the Clan into the City
After Yunqi followed the official to the county government office, Yunxi and Yunyan also set off back to Gantang Village.
The brother and sister sat in Guo Wei's carriage and led the way.
The huge procession of six or seven horse-drawn carriages immediately attracted the attention of the villagers when they entered the village.
Many villagers thought that some important person had arrived and were curious, but they did not dare to get close to see and could only watch from a distance.
Only after seeing Yun Yan clearly on the first carriage did the villagers dare to step forward.
Aunt Bao, the gossipy girl in the village, slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, it's Brother Yan, what are you doing? Why did you bring back so many carriages? What good things are loaded on these carriages?"
He asked three questions in a row, and while asking he followed the carriage and looked inside hard.
Yun Yan also imitated her and slapped his thigh, saying exaggeratedly, "Oh, Aunt Bao, I'm telling you, something big has happened."
Having said that, he jumped off the carriage, waved his hand to let Guo Wei go first, and then he talked about the bandits with Aunt Bao.
"I heard that the bandits on Mount Jiuyi have recently come down the mountain to rob food. Some villages have already suffered. My younger sister and I quickly borrowed a carriage and took our parents, grandfather, and uncle to the city to take shelter."
When Aunt Bao heard this, she was shocked. "What the hell! The bandits haven't come down from this mountain for two years. Why are they coming down again this year?"
"Alas, it's all about food. There's a drought this year, and locusts have appeared in many places. I guess there's a food shortage in the mountains too."
"God damn it, we don't have any food. We can't even fill our stomachs every day, and yet they come to rob us. They're leaving us no way to survive."
"Who said it wasn't? Well, Aunt Bao, I won't tell you for now. I have to go back to find my parents and grandpa."
As he said this, he ran after the carriage.
Aunt Bao also ran home in a hurry. When she met someone on the way, she shouted that bandits were coming down the mountain to rob.
The villagers nearby also heard what Yun Yan said just now, and they hurried home to tell their families the news.
The news that the bandits were going to come down the mountain to rob food spread quickly, and everyone was in a panic.
In fact, Yun Xi was worried that the villagers would have this kind of reaction.
This news was purely her guess. If she didn't tell it, she would feel guilty if something really happened. If she told it, and nothing happened, she would be blamed for letting the villagers worry about it.
Come to think of it, it’s better to be worried and scared than to regret when something really happens.
When Yun Yan caught up, the carriage had just stopped in front of the Yun family's courtyard, and Yun Xi jumped off the carriage.
Yun Huaiyuan and Xi were busy in the vegetable garden today. After the locusts passed through, they planted fresh vegetables in the vegetable garden again. The vegetables in the garden have grown again these days.
Vegetables grow fast, but weeds also grow fast. At this time, the two were pulling weeds in the vegetable garden.
Hearing from the villagers that their son and daughter had returned with several horse-drawn carriages, the two men hurriedly gathered all the pulled grass into baskets and hurried home.
When I got home, I saw Yunxi getting off the carriage. "My girl, you're back. Oh, you haven't eaten well these days. Why do you look thinner?"
Yunxi called her dad and mom with a smile. She knew that there is a kind of thinness that your mother thinks you are thin.
"Mom, I'm not losing weight. I've gained weight recently."
Yun Yan came forward slowly, "Mom, I'm back too."
Xi poked the head that came forward in annoyance and said, "Move aside, you're back now, how can I not see you, such a grown-up?"
Yun Yan: ...
Okay, business is important, and I don’t have the energy to worry about this right now.
"Mom, you and my little sister go back to the house to pack up first. Dad and I will go find Grandpa and the clan leader."
As he said that, he snatched the basket from Yun Huaiyuan's hand and threw it to the ground. He then pulled Yun Huaiyuan towards the old house and told him that the bandits were going down the mountain.
Xi was still confused. Pack up? Pack up what?
Yun Xi also pulled her into the house and explained the matter to her in a few words.
When Xi heard this, she quickly went to the kitchen to scoop some water to wash her hands, and then went to pack up quickly.
Guo Wei looked at the two large baskets that Yun Yan had just thrown on the ground at the gate of the yard. They were full of weeds that looked very fresh and tender.
He had noticed that his horse was drooling at the grass, so he laughed, walked forward, picked up a basket and started feeding the horse.
Seeing this, other drivers followed suit and gave some weeds to feed the horses.
The horses ate with such joy that soon both baskets of weeds were eaten up.
But a few horses seemed to be still not satisfied and kept sniffing at the empty basket, looking as if they were going to swallow the basket.
Yun Yan and Yun Huaishan came back not long after they went out, and then villagers came to their house one after another.
Wang Fugui also came to confirm the news.
Yun Yan said, "We just heard it from others, we don't know if it's true or not, but it sounds very plausible. We decided to believe it rather than not. Let's hide in the city. If the bandits don't come, we won't lose anything, we can just think of it as a trip to the city to play for a few days."
"Have all of you in the Yun family decided to go to the city?" Wang Fugui asked.
Yun Yan nodded, "Yes, Li Zheng, the employer my elder brother and younger uncle work for also heard about this and agreed to help them settle down."
When the other villagers heard this, they were extremely envious.
Why are the Dong family so nice?
A member of the Zhao clan remembered that Zhao Junyi's family was also in the city, so he asked his fellow clansmen, "Why don't we go to the city as well and look for Ping Xiu and the others?"
The other members of the Zhao clan were somewhat tempted.
Wang Fugui's eyes flashed, he thought that their Wang family could also go to the city to find Zhao Pingxiu's family.
But the next second, Yun Yan said, "Ah, you want to find Zhao Junyi's family, but I'm afraid it's impossible. I don't know what happened to them. I heard that they left the county, and I don't know where they went. Anyway, they are not in the city anymore."
"How is that possible? A few days ago, Ping Xiu came back and said that they were going to buy a big yard in the city. How could they leave after just buying the yard?"
"That's right. Even if they were leaving the county to go somewhere else, they should have come back to tell us. How could they leave without saying anything? I think that probably someone was jealous of them buying a big yard and moving into a new house and deliberately said that."
Yun Yan sneered, "Jealous of them? Why should I? Believe it or not, it's none of my business."
Wang Fugui frowned when he saw that he didn't seem to be lying. What on earth was Zhao Pingxiu's family doing?
Thinking that Wang Daya was still at their home, he asked, "Brother Yan, you said that their family had left the county, so where is my niece Daya?"
Wang Youfu, who was standing nearby and listening to the fun, heard someone asking about his daughter and hurriedly asked, "Yes, yes, yes, where is my daughter? Is she still in the county?"
Yun Yan said impatiently, "No."
After that, he said to everyone, "Go away, don't gather outside my house, we are still busy."
Anyway, he and the girl have reminded everyone that they should, so it’s up to everyone else to do what they want to do next.
