The team from Yunjia Village gradually came to the official road. Although there was no sun in the morning of October, the temperature was still very high. After walking for a while, I was sweating all over. Yun Yiyi stood at the end of the team and looked forward. There were groups of refugees walking in front of her. Looking back, there were also groups of refugees following behind.

There were many refugees resting and eating in the sparse grass and open space beside the official road. From afar, everyone's faces were exhausted, and their eyes were numb as they looked at the refugees still walking on the official road. Exhaustion and despair enveloped everyone. Even the usually lively and active children were now quiet.

In Yunjia Village, the village chief walked from the front to the end of the team and told everyone to let the children and the elderly stay in the middle, and the young and strong people holding sticks and machetes walk on the periphery. "You must follow closely and don't fall behind. If the children can't keep up, the adults can carry them. If they can't be carried, if there are drivers at home, please move some space and help a few children sit.

Let's hurry up before the sun rises, and stop to rest when it's hottest at noon. We must keep a distance from the large group of refugees, otherwise we will be easily affected if there is any conflict. "The village chief said seriously.

"Okay, village chief. We all know." A chorus of people responded. Seeing that the villagers had understood, the village chief returned to the front of the team and led the way.

"Yiyi, are you tired? Do you want to go to the car and rest for a while?" Zhang asked with concern.

"Mom, I'm not tired. I can walk a little longer." Yun Yiyi said, waving her little arms.

"Yiyi, don't be so stubborn. Be sure to tell daddy when you are tired. You are still young and can't be too tired, otherwise you won't grow tall." The voice of Yun the Butcher was also heard.

"Dad, I won't. I'm a grown girl now."

"Haha, Yiyi, you are only six years old, how come you are already a grown-up girl." It was Third Brother Yun who came to spoil the fun again.

"Third brother, do you want to fight with me? If you lose, you will admit that I am a grown-up girl." Yun Yiyi said unyieldingly.

"Yiyi, you are still young. Your third brother fought with you and bullied you a bit. His fight with your second brother is almost the same." The honest elder brother Yun scratched his head and said.

"Yes, Yiyi, you can't fight with your third brother. You will definitely cry if you lose." The second brother who wanted to smooth things over also came.

"Oh, you guys really underestimate me, I can definitely defeat Third Brother," Yun Yiyi said angrily.

"I advised you, but you didn't listen. Then when we take a break, we're going to have a real fight. Don't cry if you lose." Third Brother Yun said loudly and sarcastically.

"Third brother, you underestimate me. When you lose, don't cry."

"What did you say? I will lose. That's impossible." Brother Yun San said unconvinced.

Butcher Yun and Zhang were standing nearby, laughing as they listened to the children bickering. The children had grown up, and it was rare for them to be so childish.

After a while of chatting and laughing, everyone quieted down. The sun was rising higher and higher, and the temperature was getting higher and higher. Now people were falling down on the official road at any time. Some could continue walking after a rest, while others might never get up again.

The team from Yunjia Village was also moving slower and slower. At this time, they had walked about 15 miles. Many children were almost exhausted. There were also three children on the Yun family's donkey cart. They were not very old, about the same age as Yun Yiyi.

"Everyone, grit your teeth and hold on. After we walk another five miles, we will rest for an hour. We must not stop at this time. There are no trees here. It's so hot that adults can bear it, but children can't. Let's grit our teeth and walk forward. There should be a forest ahead." The village chief encouraged everyone.

"Okay." A weak voice sounded. Hearing this, everyone still cheered up and walked faster. The temperature was too high, and it would be troublesome if the children got heatstroke. The refugees next to them heard the village chief's words, glanced at him, and turned around and moved forward as if they didn't understand. In this weather, it's unbearable to walk slowly, and there are fools who want to speed up.

Yun Yiyi was still following them. She had walked more in the past two days, and her endurance had improved a lot. She might not be able to complete the whole journey, but she could still hold on. She looked back and found that the grandparents had caught up with them. They were not far away, about ten meters away. Yun Yiyi was still very surprised. She thought they could not keep up.

As she walked, Yun Yiyi felt a burning sensation in her throat and felt dizzy. She knew she might have a heat stroke. There were now three more children on the donkey cart. If she got on, the little donkey would have a hard time. At this time, the little donkey only ate hay, and it was not like before when Yun the butcher would give it grain. Now that people had no grain to eat, how could he bear to feed it grain?

In the past two days, Yun Yiyi secretly fed the little donkey corn kernels and fresh corn leaves in the space at night, and secretly gave it water from the space well, so it was so energetic these two days. Otherwise, if it didn't eat well and the work intensity was so high, the little donkey would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

This little donkey is very gentle, and Yun Yiyi likes it very much. Even at this time, Yun Yiyi is reluctant to increase its burden. Yun Yiyi suddenly remembered that she had collected Huoxiang Zhengqi Water in the last days, which is used to treat heatstroke. Yun Yiyi secretly took out Huoxiang Zhengqi Water from the space, covered her face with her sleeves, drank two bottles in one breath, and then drank a lot of water, so that she could hold on for a while longer. Brother Yun is not pushing the cart now, Zhang is pushing the cart, and Yun the butcher is also pushing the cart.

If Yun Yiyi fell down at this time, Brother Yun would definitely carry her. Yun Yiyi felt very distressed. Brother Yun was also a young child. In modern times, he would still be in junior high school. In this era, he is already an adult. He must be tired after pushing the cart for a long time. Fortunately, Yun Yiyi recovered slowly after a while, and it should not be a problem for her to walk to the resting place by herself.

Time seemed to be so long as they walked. Yun Yiyi felt as if the whole world had been slowed down. At this time, the people of Yunjia Village had surpassed the waves of refugees. Finally, when they saw a forest, the village chief called on everyone to stop and rest. After hearing the words of the village chief, the villagers rushed forward and tried to rest under the shade of the trees.

Yun the butcher found a relatively deep forest. There was a lot of space under the trees and the weeds were short, so they were just right for pulling out and starting a fire. They stopped the car and sat down to rest for a while. At this time, the parents of the three children came to take their children home. When they left, they kept saying thank you. Especially Yunpeng's wife Wang said the most.

Speaking of which, Wang is also a pitiful person. Wang's mother-in-law, Granny Guo, was a widow when she was young and never remarried. She lived with her son Yunpeng. Granny Guo was very capable and gentle when she was young. After losing her husband, she became aggressive in order to make a living. There was no way, in the village, you really couldn't survive without being aggressive. Although the village also gave some help, every household had a hard time, and the help given was limited.

Granny Guo managed to raise the children and married them. Granny Guo was good in every way except that she favored boys over girls. After her daughter-in-law got married, she gave birth to three children, the eldest was a boy, the second was a boy, and the third was a girl. Granny Guo loved her two grandsons very much, but not her granddaughter. Although there has always been a preference for boys over girls in the village, Granny Guo's family didn't have many children, so she should have loved her granddaughter very much.

However, Granny Guo's partiality was obvious. For example, when she boiled eggs, she would only boil two. Both grandsons had one, while the granddaughter could only watch. Wang didn't notice this at first, but it was her eldest son who told her later, asking her why her grandmother didn't give eggs to her younger sister.

Wang had also argued with her mother-in-law, who agreed on the surface but was still biased. This time, Wang's family pushed two carts, one each for Wang and Yunpeng. The children were tired from walking, so they would take turns to sit on the carts. This time, Grandma Guo refused to let her granddaughter sit on the cart. Wang argued and argued, but Grandma Guo refused to agree.

Finally, Wang had no choice but to send her six-year-old daughter to the Yun family's donkey cart. Wang had thought it through. If the Yun family didn't agree, she and Yun Peng would take turns carrying the child. After all, they were their own children, and parents would love them equally.

Zhang also knew Wang's situation, so she made an appointment with Wang to bring the child over in the afternoon. It was not easy at this time, and Zhang thought she could help as much as she could.
