"Boss is right. We picked persimmons, peaches, and hawthorns in the mountains. We didn't buy them. We just need to sell them and exchange them for food."

"It doesn't matter if they sell it at a lower price. Besides, there aren't many people who can buy all the peaches, hawthorns, and persimmons we have left at once.

"It's not easy to come across one, we must seize the opportunity."

"Dad, this is a great idea. If we weren't in a time of famine, we could still haggle over the price and sell as much as we can."

"But at this time, it's good enough to be able to sell it. Besides, we can exchange it for money to buy food."

Butcher Yun laughed out loud.

"Second brother, you really put in a lot of effort today." Yun Yiyi gave a thumbs up.

"This town is too chaotic. I was thinking of selling out quickly and going home early." Second Brother Yun looked embarrassed.

"By the way, Dad, how much food did you buy today? Has the price of food gone up again?"

"I bought a bag of flour and a bag of cornmeal. Mainly, we sold persimmons in town, and many people in town saw them."

"I was afraid that if I bought too much food, some people would follow us out of town to steal the food. So, after thinking about it, I didn't dare to buy more."

Butcher Yun said unhappily.

"Master, this is quite a lot of food. It's enough for us to eat for a while."

Zhang looked at Yun the Butcher with comforting eyes.

"I know, but I just feel a little unhappy."

"Dad, be content with what you have. The food we have stored is enough for us to eat for the whole winter."

Yun the butcher made a bitter face. Who said it wasn't true?

"Dad, if there is nothing else tomorrow morning, we will continue to go up the mountain."

"If I don't have anything to do tomorrow, I'll just be mowing the grass at the foot of the mountain. If you want to go up the mountain, go ahead. I'll be watching over the house."

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, let's go out early tomorrow morning. Let's go to the mountain stream. There are many places there, but also many places that we haven't been to."

After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she looked at Brother Yun the Elder, Brother Yun the Second, and Brother Yun the Third.

"Okay, Yiyi, we will listen to you about going up the mountain."

"Yes, Yiyi, we'll go to the mountains wherever you say we should go."

"Yiyi, as usual, you lead the way and we just follow you. You can make the reservation wherever you want to go."

Yun Yiyi nodded happily. The three brothers of the Yun family were great in this regard. They listened to advice.

And they don't think it's shameful to listen to a six-year-old child.

"Yiyi, you and big brother will go up the mountain tomorrow. Should I stay at home?"

Yun Yiyi slapped her forehead. She had forgotten about Xie Zirui.

So she turned her head and looked at Xie Zirui embarrassedly.

"Brother Zirui, the place we're going to is a bit far. It's a lot of running back and forth. Why don't you stay at home and help out?"

"There is a lot of work to do at home, and I need someone to help."

Zhang said hurriedly, "Yes, Zirui, auntie is at home and can't handle it all by herself. Can you help auntie at home?"

"Okay, Aunt. I know I can't walk too far, and going up the mountain will hinder my brothers."

"That's not the case, Brother Zirui. When we're done with this busy period, we'll go up the mountain together."

Xie Zirui nodded.

"Okay, it's getting late. After dinner, you all should wash up and get ready for bed."

Zhang urged loudly.

"Got it, mother."

After Brother Yun finished speaking, he took his younger brothers and sisters to wash up.

"Brother, Brother Zirui and I will chat for a while and then go to bed. You and Brother Two and Brother Three don't have to wait for us, go to bed first."

After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she pulled Xie Zirui and ran towards the official road.

The official road was empty, not a single person was there.

Standing on the official road, you can see clusters of lights in the woods.

After Yun Yiyi stood still, she said, "Brother Zirui, tell me what you want to say. We are the only ones around now."

Xie Zirui looked around and moved closer to Yun Yiyi.

"Yiyi, let me tell you, this morning, I saw the people that the master sent to look for me."

"What?" Yun Yiyi shouted out suddenly.

Then, she lowered her voice again, "Brother Zirui, when is it? How come I don't know?"

"It was this morning, when the peddler came to sell his things. But you were chatting with your aunt at the time and didn't notice me."

Yun Yiyi suddenly realized, "Brother Zirui, is it the peddler? Are you sure?"

Xie Zirui shook his head affirmatively, "No mistake, Yiyi. I have confirmed that it was my husband who sent someone to find me."

Yun Yiyi felt like she was dreaming, a little unreal.

"Brother Zirui, are you going to leave us?"

"Yiyi, I don't know either. I'm waiting for their news."

Yun Yiyi suppressed her reluctance and asked, "Brother Zirui, the bandits from Qingfeng Village are blocking the road right there."

"Even if your husband sent someone to look for you, you can't move on now, right?"

Xie Zirui shook his head. "Yiyi, come and talk to my uncle. He told us to continue waiting here. The bandits in Qingfeng Village are trying to find a solution."

Yun Yiyi was shocked again when she heard this. She didn't expect that Brother Zirui's family was so powerful.

"Brother Zirui, are you saying that they have a way to deal with the bandits in Qingfeng Village?"

Xie Zirui continued to shake his head, "Yiyi, I don't know about this either. But don't worry, no matter what, the bandits in Qingfeng Village have been cleared out, so we can move forward anytime."

When Yun Yiyi heard this, she understood what was going on.

"Brother Zirui, don't tell your family yet. Someone is here to see you."

"Since they came to you secretly, they probably wanted to keep it secret."

"So, when you leave, tell your family. Anyway, we are in the same place, so we will meet each other sooner or later."

Since Xie Zirui saw the person who came to see him today, he felt reluctant to leave.

"Okay, Yiyi, I'll listen to you. I'll tell Uncle Yun and Auntie before I leave."

"Brother Zirui, be happy. It's a good thing that you can go home."

Yun Yiyi patted Xie Zirui's shoulder comfortingly.

Xie Zirui's eyes were red. Fortunately, it was night and Yi Yi couldn't see it, otherwise Yi Yi would laugh at him.

"Brother Zirui, you should stay at home for the next few days. If they come looking for you again, it will be easier to find them."

"Okay. Now even if you ask me to follow you up the mountain, I don't want to go. I will only be a hindrance if I go."

"Brother Zirui, it's not that serious. We are still young. In a few years, it won't be like this anymore."

Xie Zirui nodded heavily. He said, “Everyone will grow up eventually, and everything will be fine when they grow up.”
