Yun Yiyi nodded in understanding, "Brother Zirui, I understand what you mean. No need to explain it to me anymore."

Xie Zirui scratched his head embarrassedly, "Yiyi, anyway, this is how it is."

Yun Yiyi chuckled, "Brother Zirui, you don't have to worry about it. I just know the result."

"That's great, Yiyi. This way I don't have to rack my brains to come up with excuses."

"Brother Zirui, just follow us and escape the famine safely. We will definitely not let you starve or freeze."

"That's for sure, Yiyi."

"Zi Rui, Yi Yi, what are you two talking about? We have finished shopping and are going home now."

"Here we come, mother."

"Here I come, auntie."

Zhang was holding a few cabbages and radishes that she had bought, and Yun San Ge also had more than a dozen potatoes in his pocket.

"Mom, are you buying just vegetables?" Yun Yiyi said in surprise.

"Yeah. These are the dishes. If I hadn't paid quickly, I wouldn't have been able to get them."

When Zhang talked about this, she had a proud expression on her face.

"Yiyi, Zirui, let me tell you, it was only thanks to mom's quick payment that we were able to snatch these dishes."

"Are you the women from our village? They are so fierce when they rob things. It's really scary."

After Third Brother Yun finished speaking, he secretly shuddered.

"That's good. We have cabbage and radish. We have vegetables to eat again. Eating wild vegetables every day has almost turned my face the color of wild vegetables."

After hearing what Third Brother Yun said, everyone burst into laughter.

Zhang laughed and scolded, "Third brother, mother wants to ask you, did you eat the meat from the other day and turn you into the color of wild vegetables?"

"Mom, that's not the case." Brother Yun San answered embarrassedly.

This time, Lian Yun the Butcher and Brother Yun also laughed.

Zhang put all the cabbage, potatoes, and radishes into the carriage.

"Wife, how come you bought so many vegetables?"

"I grabbed them. I went too late just now, so I didn't get sugar, salt, and some other things."

Zhang looked regretful.

"It's alright, wife. Maybe these peddlers will come again in the future. If you go early, you can buy it."

Zhang rolled her eyes at Yun the butcher and said, "Boss, what are you saying? Don't you have to spend money to buy things?"

Yun the Butcher was speechless as he flattered the horse and hit its hoof.

All the children turned their backs and laughed secretly.

After a while, Zhang's meal was ready, and everyone had a quiet dinner while she took it out of the pot.

As it happens, it's getting dark now.

Yun the Butcher asked the children to wash up and get ready for bed.

He and Zhang cleaned up together. The mules and donkeys also needed to be fed with grass, water, and cornmeal again.

As for the hens, Zhang secretly fed them. Some time ago, I stayed outside Shilin Town.

The hens are eating well and seem to be getting fatter.

After finishing all these, Zhang went to bed.

Starting tonight, everyone gathered the mule carts and donkey carts together. The Yun family also slept in the carts instead of on the floor.

Yun the butcher was not sleeping as it was his turn to be on duty tonight.

Now the village has returned to the mode of two people on duty at noon and two people at night.

Yun the Butcher and another person discussed that one of them would be on duty in the first half of the night and the other in the second half.

Finally, they decided that Yun the Butcher would be on duty in the second half of the night.

Therefore, Yun the Butcher went back to the mule cart and slept for a few hours.

Later, when Yun the Butcher was on duty at night, he sat in the middle of the team and lit a bonfire in front of him.

It was noticeably colder at night, so Yun the Butcher put on all his thicker clothes.

There were many families around him who slept on the floor, so some people snored loudly when they slept.

Whenever Yun the Butcher felt sleepy, he couldn't fall asleep because of the noise.

Later, he strolled back and forth along with the Yunjia Village team.

The village chief woke up more than an hour before dawn.

He went from house to house asking people to get up and cook.

Butcher Yun returned to his home. He poured water into the big iron pot, covered it with a lid, and started to light a fire.

After a while, the water boiled. He first filled a clay pot with boiled water.

He added the washed and chopped sweet potatoes and half a bowl of millet to the half pot of water in the pot.

The sweet potato porridge in the pot was not yet cooked, and Zhang woke up when she heard the noise.

After washing up, she was busy cutting vegetables. In the morning, she planned to stir-fry hot and sour cabbage. She put a little diced bacon in it, and the children also liked it.

The staple food is steamed buns.

When Yun the butcher started to turn the high heat down to low, Zhang put the cleaned grate into the big iron pot, covered it with a cage cloth, and put more than a dozen large steamed buns in to keep them warm.

After finishing all this, Zhang went to light the fire, while Yun the butcher went to feed the mule and donkey at home with grass and water again.

After more than half an hour, the steamed buns in the pot were hot and the sweet potato porridge was cooked.

Zhang poured the sweet potato porridge into a clay basin and put the steamed buns into a basket and wrapped them with cloth.

Next, Yun the butcher lit the fire, and Zhang skillfully fried two large plates of spicy and sour cabbage.

When all the food was served on the table, Yun the Butcher called all the children in the family to eat.

It was still dark and an oil lamp was still lit on the table.

Yun Yiyi yawned, "Today is as early as yesterday. The village chief uncle has never gotten up late."

"Hey, if we rely on you lazy guys, it will take us a long time to get to Yunzhou."

"Mom, you are too blunt. Your daughter has no respect for herself."

"Okay, mother won't say anything more." Zhang smiled secretly.

After all this playfulness, everyone felt less sleepy.

When the Yun family started to eat breakfast, there were still many people in the village whose meals were not ready.

However, everyone knows the temper of the village chief, so he must have eaten before setting off.

Everyone guessed correctly. The village chief waited until dawn, and when everyone had finished their meal and packed up their things, he urged everyone to set off.

When the team started to move, the second and third brothers Yun drove the donkey carts in front.

In the middle was Brother Yun, with Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui. However, the two children went to sleep as soon as they got in the car.

At the end, Yun the butcher was driven by Zhang to sleep. Now it was Zhang who was driving the carriage.

Now it was daybreak, and the team was not moving too fast. With Zhang driving the car, Yun the butcher felt more at ease.

Just like that, after the Yunjia Village team had been traveling for ten days, the weather changed.

The sun had disappeared, and the entire road was covered in fog. A cold wind was blowing.

"It's probably going to snow in this weather."

"According to the solar terms, it's time for snow. I just don't know if it will snow."

"It's really worrying now. It's dark everywhere. We are moving at a snail's pace now."
