Yun Yiyi lowered her head and smiled. The bandits in Qingfeng Village were very calculating. The food they collected for these villagers must have been carefully calculated.

This amount of food is not too much, but also within the villagers' affordability. Unless the villagers are pushed to a certain extent, they will not choose to leave here.

The bandits used the boiling frog model to slowly turn the villagers around Qingfeng Village into their food bags.

If the bandits from Qingfeng Village had asked for a lot of food at the beginning, the villagers would probably have gathered together to resist.

The most frightening thing is what is happening now. After being made an example of by the bandits in Qingfeng Village, everyone just lies down and stops resisting.

However, Yun Yiyi still had some doubts in her heart. There were more than 600 bandits there at once.

An ordinary mountain stronghold cannot gather such a large number of bandits.

"Uncle, but if the people of Qingfeng Village keep asking everyone for food, it won't be a solution for a long time."

The vendor thought for a moment and then said, "Let's talk about it later. One person cannot resist. Besides, life is still manageable now."

Yun Yiyi comforted him, "Uncle, think on the bright side. Maybe one day, the government will come to suppress the bandits."

"Yeah, that's hard to say."

Xie Zirui suddenly asked, "Uncle, is there a small road from the town to Qingfeng Village?"

The vendor glanced at Xie Zirui and said, "There is a small path. However, it has to go through the mountains. The road is also very narrow, and horse and donkey carts definitely can't pass through."

Yun Yiyi nodded to Xie Zirui, "Uncle, thank you for telling us so much news today."

The vendor looked at the people on the street and started to walk away. He was a little anxious, "Okay, little girl. It's fate that I have talked to you so much today."

"But now the market is over, and I have to go home. Let's meet again sometime."

"See you again, uncle."

"Uncle, see you again if we are lucky."

The hawker said hello to Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui, then left carrying the empty wooden shelf.

"Brother Zirui, what do you think about the bandits?"

"Yiyi, I don't feel well. So let's find out more about Qingfeng Village today."

"Brother Zirui, I think the same thing. Okay, let's go back quickly. I think Dad will be waiting anxiously."

After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she pulled Xie Zirui back.

Yun Yiyi handed a string of candied haws to Yun the butcher, "Dad, I bought some candied haws. Can you try them and see if they are delicious?"

Butcher Yun had a big smile on his face. He took the candied haws and bit into a hawthorn ball. "Yiyi, it's delicious. You two should have some too."

Yun Yiyi put two strings of candied haws into the basket inside the mule cart.

Then, she and Xie Zirui shared a string of candied haws.

The candied haws are very delicious. The hawthorn fruit is very big, and there is a lot of sugar wrapped around it, which makes it very delicious.

However, the quantity was a bit small and we finished it very quickly.

"Dad, my brother Zirui and I just asked the vendor selling candied haws and found out that there is a Qingfeng Village on the official road ahead."

"There are more than 600 bandits in Qingfeng Village. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to bypass them."

Butcher Yun was surprised, "Yiyi, are there really bandits?"

Yun Yiyi looked at the surprised Yun the Butcher and said, "Dad, it's true. And there are more than 600 people in Qingfeng Village."

Yun the Butcher fell silent instantly. The stronghold of more than 600 people had very strong fighting power.

"Dad, we must find out more about Qingfeng Village today. I asked, if we want to bypass Qingfeng Village, we can only take a small road."

"But the vendor selling candied haws said that the path is difficult to walk on, especially if we are in a hurry. It will be even more troublesome."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. You want to take the official route, not the back roads."

Yun Yiyi nodded, "Yes, Dad, the small road wastes a lot of time. The key is that it is difficult to drive. It will be difficult for us to carry so many things."

When Yun the butcher heard this, he also started to worry.

"Dad, let's not think about it now. Let's go get some information first."

"I heard from the vendor selling candied haws that everyone in the town knows about the bandits in Qingfeng Village."

Butcher Yun's eyes lit up, "Then we have more people to ask."

"Uncle Yun, I see a lot of people at the wonton stand not far ahead. Let's go there and ask."

After hearing this, Yun Yiyi and Yun the Butcher turned their heads at the same time and looked at the wonton stall not far away.

The stall owner was an elderly couple. They set up six tables, five of which were full of people, with only one empty table.

"Dad, let's go there. There will definitely be people talking about Qingfeng Village in a crowded place."

Yun the Butcher had the same idea.

"Let's go, drive over there and have a bowl of wontons each."

Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui were delighted when they heard this. They could eat delicious wontons again.

Butcher Yun brought his two children and soon arrived at the wonton stall.

"Grandpa, how do you sell your wontons?"

The old man who was making wontons looked back and saw that the person asking the question was a chubby little girl.

"Turns out she's a cute little girl. There's an empty table, so you can sit down and have a rest for a while."

"Also, my wontons are stuffed with fresh meat, and they cost ten cents a bowl."

"Dad, how many bowls of wontons do we want?" Yun Yiyi said as she sat at the empty table with Yun the Butcher and the others.

"Let's order three bowls of wontons. We haven't had wontons for a long time, and I think you two are craving for them."

"Okay, Dad, we'll listen to you and order three bowls."

"Grandpa, we want three bowls of wontons."

"Okay, wait a moment. Our wontons need to be freshly wrapped and cooked for you once they're done."

"Okay, we'll wait a while then."

At this time, there was a discussion at the next table. Yun the butcher and his friends stopped talking tacitly and listened attentively to the conversation at the next table.

"Brother Wang, have you heard? A wealthy family was recently intercepted in Qingfeng Village. It is said that they have a whole cart of silver."

"Is this true? I haven't heard of this. Where did this news come from? Can you believe it?"

"Brother Wang, I'm telling you this in secret. Don't tell anyone else. I have a relative in the government office. My relative told me."

"This must be true. And my relatives specifically told me not to tell anyone else."

"Did the people from Qingfeng Village rob all the wealthy families and take them up the mountain?"

"It is said that they all robbed the people on the mountain. This rich man hired many escorts, and they defeated the bandits who came down the mountain at first. Later, some bandits from the mountain came down and subdued the guards."

"The bandits in Qingfeng Village are too brutal. If they rob people like this, who will dare to pass by here in the future?"

"Who said it wasn't the case? I'm just afraid that if the bandits in Qingfeng Village can't rob the wealthy families passing by in the future, what will they do?"
