Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Yun Yi was responsible for counting the number of people and making sure that all those who came in had been captured and killed.

Yunye led people to count the supplies brought by the Yu family. There were more than thirty mule carts, thirty of which were filled with food, and the others were filled with meat and vegetables.

"The Yu family is really generous." Yun couldn't help but say as he took a closer look.

The meat is very fresh and is all pickled with salt so that it can be preserved longer.

Yunye looked at the pile of corpses and frowned, "No one has escaped, right?"

"Probably not. We saw them come in with our own eyes." Yun Yida said.

"Okay, let's carry it to the back hill and bury it."

Yun Yi ordered the secret guards to clear out a mule cart, load the bodies onto the cart, and then transport them to the back mountain and bury them in a pit.

In a spacious forest at the back of the mountain, a dozen secret guards were digging a hole with shovels. Yun Yi and five secret guards were patrolling the surroundings vigilantly.

Behind a huge thorn bush in the distance, a soldier was lying on the ground, watching everything with bloodshot eyes.

He is also a member of the team. Captain Cai is his elder brother. The New Year is approaching, and he wants to go out with his brother to see the world.

When he was almost at the mine gate, he suddenly had a stomachache. He told his brother and went into the woods to take care of it.

But when he came out from the toilet, he saw the door was closed.

The door was locked from the inside and he couldn't open it no matter how hard he pushed.

So he walked around the wall, trying to find a lower place to climb over, and then he heard screams from inside and his brother's questioning.

After a long time, there was no movement inside. He realized it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he wanted to turn back the way he came.

As soon as he hid in the bushes, he saw the people inside pulling the bodies of his brother and his men here on a mule cart for burial.

He lay on the ground shivering and dared not move. The sea breeze mixed with a strong smell of blood made his face pale and he almost vomited, but he forced himself to hold it back.

Looking at those people who were talking and laughing with him when they came, but now turned into cold corpses, his eyes were bloodshot.

When he saw the secret guards carrying a corpse that was almost cut in half with intestines and internal organs hanging from the body, he wanted to get up and rush out to fight them to avenge his brother.

Just as he took a step, his body was held tightly and his mouth was covered tightly. He struggled desperately.

After struggling for a long time, he couldn't break free from the man's grip. The soldier gave up completely. Let him be killed or cut up as he pleased. He could also go and reunite with his brother.

After seeing that he stopped struggling, they dragged him deeper into the forest.

Yun Yi is a martial arts expert. He heard the noise here and ran over quickly with a sword in hand.

He looked around in the huge thorn bush and suddenly found a furry thing in a hole in the ground. He poked it with his sword and a fat rabbit was pierced by his sword, its limbs still kicking hard.

"Boss, what did you find?" The other secret guards followed one after another.

Yun Yi raised the rabbit skewered on his sword, "A rabbit."

"The boss is so lucky." The secret guards flattered him generously.

Yun threw the rabbit to the secret guard, but he was still worried and continued to examine the bush carefully.

There were some signs of falling over in the grass, but it was too short a time ago to tell whether they were left by animals or humans.

"Let's take a good look around here." Yun Yi has always been rough but meticulous in his work.

The secret guards searched all around but found nothing, so they went back with peace of mind.

After dealing with the corpses and returning, Yun Yi and others found that there were several more mule carts in the mine, and the pigs tied to the mule carts were squealing.

"Boss, is the master here?" the secret guard asked expectantly.

Yun Yi's stern face relaxed, "Let's go back."

As I approached the gate, I heard Yun Ming's voice. The secret guard was talking about the two battles that had just ended.

"If we had come earlier, we would have caught up." His tone was full of regret.

Manager Ma next to him raised his eyelids and glanced at him sideways, the corners of his mouth twitched. He was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger. This was the first time he saw someone rushing to kill someone.

Yun Ming asked excitedly, "Didn't they say the Japanese are very short? Over there, I want to see how short they are."

"Mining in the mountain." The secret guard pointed towards the mine.

"Come on, take me to see it." Yun Ming said.

The secret guard whispered to the steward Ma who was standing aside with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes lowered, "Steward Ma knows Japanese, let him take you there."

Manager Ma cursed the secret guard's ancestors in his heart, saying, "You little bastard, if you want to please the young master, why do you have to use him as a scapegoat?"

He has old limbs and yet he is still asked to climb up and down.

Despite this, Steward Ma still smiled and said, "Young Master, please follow me."

Manager Ma took Yun Ming to a factory halfway up the mountain. The Japanese pirates working there were all dishonest and had their legs broken.

When the Japanese pirates saw Manager Ma coming with a child, they immediately showed fierceness in their eyes and wanted to move forward, but their feet were unable to walk on the gravel, and they spoke incomprehensible words.

Yun Ming saw this and knew that what they said was probably not good, "Manager Ma, are they scolding me?"

Manager Ma nodded.

"What are they yelling at?"

"Anyway, the insults were pretty harsh." Manager Ma said a little embarrassedly.

Yun Ming immediately frowned and glared at Manager Ma, "Tell me, what are they scolding?"

Manager Ma had no choice but to tell him the pirates the insults verbatim.

When Yun Ming heard this, he immediately flew into a rage and rushed forward to beat them up. Manager Ma and the secret guards on the side hurried to stop them.

"Young master, don't beat them to death. We still need to keep them doing work." The secret guard advised.

"Bah! You damn stray dogs." Yun Ming spat, then left in a swagger with Manager Ma.

Back in the office yard, Yun Ye and Liang Wen divided the food and meat they had brought.

The other portion would be shipped by ship to the salt field just across a mountain from them, and the rest would be stored in a warehouse.

After they sat down, Yun Ye asked Liang Han about the news from Longtan, "Has the Third Master not returned from suppressing the bandits yet?"

Liang Wen said, "He hadn't returned when we left."

"Second brother, don't worry. With Yun Er and the others following us, third brother will be fine." Yun Ming washed his hands, grabbed an unnamed fruit on the table and started eating it.

Then, Liang Wen took out the letter written by Lin Yinan and showed it to Yun Ye.

The content of the letter was simple, reminding them to be wary of the Yu family and the Japanese pirates.

They have experienced all of this today and have made preparations for the follow-up. No matter what, they will not give up the iron ore.

Huaizhou City

The servant came in hurriedly with his aide Mr. He.

"Master, something terrible has happened!" Mr. Tian He, who was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat.

The head of the Zhong family sat at the head of the table and spoke slowly, "Sir, why are you so panicked during the New Year?"

Mr. He picked up the tea poured by the servant and drank it in one gulp. His dry throat instantly felt much better.

He said, "Our people were delivering things to Chi'an and found that the mountain was full of soldiers."

"Did the Yu family lead the troops to wipe out the bandit's lair?" The head of the Zhong family quickly sat up straight and looked at Mr. He.

“Not the Yu family.”

The Zhong family head was even more surprised, "Who else has this ability?"

"The person who reported it said that there was a word 'cloud' on the flag," Mr. He said anxiously.
