For several days in a row, Yunhai went to give Cheng Yuheng acupuncture every night. Cheng Yuheng could vaguely see things at night without lighting a candle. His eyes felt more comfortable than ever before, and he slept very soundly without nightmares.

During the day, the vision becomes particularly clear. Objects that are close at hand can be seen without obstruction, and even the outlines of scenes that are a little further away can be clearly seen.

Looking around, it is no longer blurry, but you can clearly distinguish the categories and shapes of various objects. Especially when the light is not very strong, even without wearing a white gauze eye mask, your eyes will no longer shed tears due to stimulation.

Ten whole years! During these long years, his world had been shrouded in a blur, as if everything was covered with a veil. However, at this moment, the veil finally faded away...

At this moment, he could clearly see the new wrinkles on his grandparents' faces and the extra white hair on their temples.

At this moment, Cheng Yuheng's longing for Yun Duo became stronger and stronger, like a tide that surged into his heart. He seemed to have not seen those big eyes that sparkled like stars for several days, and the bright light seemed to be able to penetrate his heart.

He knew very well that the little girl was beautiful, but what he wanted more was to see clearly her face filled with a bright smile.

Her smile was like a flower, like the most beautiful flower in full bloom in spring, exuding a charming fragrance that made him intoxicated. Every time he thought of her smile, it was like bathing in the warm sunshine, feeling the endless warmth and tenderness.

I am busy packing things at home because someone is thinking about me.

"Duo'er, please help Dad put these books away. Thanks to my daughter, otherwise Dad would really be reluctant to part with these books." Yun Qingsong looked at the books and watched with gratitude as his daughter put the books into the space.

Li Xiuxiu also asked Yun Duo to put away the items that were inconvenient to carry.

……

With only one day left before departure, Yunjia Village was shrouded in a depressed atmosphere. The villagers were busy packing their luggage. Occasionally, the sighs of men could be heard; the crying of women and children came one after another.

Near noon, two yamen runners arrived at Yunhe's house on horseback. The door was open, and the runners dismounted and shouted inside, "Is Village Chief Yun here?"

"It's me. What can I do for you two gentlemen?" Yun Hai came up to the yamen runner and answered.

The yamen runner handed the official document to Yun He: "Village Chief Yun, seeing that you are all packing your bags, I guess you are also preparing to move south. We will not elaborate on this. This is the official document that the county magistrate issued in advance at the risk of being beheaded.

The resettlement place for our Beining County is Qinghe Prefecture, Nanhe Prefecture, and Changling County in Nanjing. With this official document, someone will be able to properly resettle us when we get there."

Yunhe took the document and said politely, "You two officials have worked hard. Please go in and have some water before leaving!"

"No, we still have to hurry to notify the next village. Bye." After saying that, he mounted his horse and left.

After Yunhe sent the yamen runners away, he carefully picked up the gong that had not been used for a long time, and then struck it vigorously. The sound of the gong was like thunder, breaking the tranquility of the village and resounding in every corner.

When the villagers heard the sound of the gong, they knew something important was happening. They dropped their work and gathered in front of the ancestral hall at a trot. The gong was usually only struck when something important happened, and the villagers had already ingrained this rule in their minds. When the gong sounded, they would drop everything without hesitation and rush to the ancestral hall.

The people, who were already nervous, became even more anxious when they heard the sound of the gong, and everyone started talking at once.

"What is the matter with the village chief gathering everyone? I saw the officials coming to the village. Does that mean we don't have to flee the famine?"

"It would be great if that were the case! I've been feeling very anxious these past few days. Our ancestors have lived in Yunjia Village for generations and have never been outside. I don't know if we can make it to the south alive."

Yunhe saw that everyone had arrived and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, waiting for Yunhe to speak. Yunhe raised his hand and showed the official document to everyone: "This is the official document that the county magistrate risked his life to send to all villages and towns in advance, ordering us to move south as soon as possible. With this resettlement document, we can get proper resettlement in the south."

The hopes of those villagers who still had hope were completely dashed. Two families had not packed their bags yet and had no intention of migrating south with the others.

These two families are the few outsiders in the village. The surname is Wu, and they are two brothers who have settled in Yunjia Village for more than 20 years. Their parents have passed away long ago, and the two brothers have also separated.

The two brothers were usually good at calculating and liked to gossip. However, the Yun family had always been united and was not moved by their instigation.

Not only that, Yunhe, as the head of the village, had warned them that if they made mistakes again, they would be expelled from the village. Because of this, they have restrained themselves a little in the past few years.

When they heard that Yunjia Village was moving south, they thought it was not that serious. The Yunhai brothers were a little alarmist. They also planned to wait until all the villagers left and then stay behind. When the crops in the fields were ripe, they would harvest them all and take them for themselves.

I had thought I could take advantage of something, so I hadn't made any preparations for moving south, nor had I packed my luggage. But now I was completely dumbfounded.

Wu Erjia didn't rush home to pack her things. Instead, she sat down on the ground and burst into tears.

Yunhe carefully put away the documents and said, "That's good. With the official documents, the journey will be smoother."

Yunhai looked at everyone standing there in fear and said in a deep voice: "We will set off tomorrow. I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles will be waiting for us along the way... But no matter what, for everyone's safety, we must face it bravely.

Everyone will go pack up! At least we still have time to prepare, which is much better than those who left in a hurry. I see that everyone has built a lot of carts in the past few days, so that our village can travel faster and arrive in the south to settle down before winter.

As I said before, if there are people who don’t want to move forward together, we will never force them to do so. Just do it on your own!"
