Being rejected by a scholar? She is so rich, what is she afraid of?

About half an hour later, the Yun clan members came to the Yun family one after another. Some pushed carts, some carried loads, some were covered with bundles, and some just carried a big bag.

All they brought were food from their homes, valuables, silver, and some spare clothes.

Of course, if there is a lot of food at home, it is impossible to take all the food with you. Some of it will be hidden in a hidden place. It depends on whether you are lucky enough to keep it.

If it is saved, it is luck; if it is discovered and stolen, it is fate.

Yun Yan and Yun Huaiyuan were very busy and started to allocate horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts.

Two horse-drawn carriages were vacated for the elderly and children to squeeze in. The remaining five horse-drawn carriages, the ox-drawn cart and the two carts were used to transport things.

"Everyone, hurry up. If we set out early, we can still get into the city before the city gates close. If we delay any longer, we will probably have to spend the night outside the city gates."

When everyone heard this, they quickened their actions.

Soon, the Zhao family was ready to set off. At this time, Aunt Bao and the other two families came running over and pulled Xi to ask if they could be taken along.

"Don't worry, we will provide the food ourselves."

Xi was in a dilemma. It was not a question of food. She was not worried about food, but she was worried that there would be no place to accommodate so many people.

She looked at Yunxi, hoping that Yunxi could come up with an idea.

Yun Xi took a look and found that these families were all close to her mother. When she broke off the engagement, they had even helped to speak up for her.

Looking at them again, there aren't many people. The three families together have only about 20 people, so there is plenty of room for them to be accommodated.

So he nodded.

Xi quickly asked them to put all their things on the carriage. Among the group there was an elderly lady and a child over one year old, both of whom were arranged on the carriage.

After we had arranged everything for them and were preparing to leave, two more families arrived.

These two families also wanted to join them. They didn’t have many things, but they had a lot of people. However, since Yun Xi was not needed this time, Xishi and Yun Huaiyuan directly refused.

Normally, he likes to curry favor with the Zhao family and please the head of the village. Not to mention that there are so many people now, there are not enough cars. Even if there were enough, he wouldn't want to take them with him.

Besides, there are so many people and they don't even have enough food. What do you want to do by following them? Isn't it just to take advantage of them? No way.

"Oh my, you are just watching someone die without helping. We are from the same village, how can you do this?"

"Bah, what do you mean by standing by and watching someone die? If you want to take advantage, just say so. Don't you see what the situation is like now? How are all the cars piled up?"

After Xi finished speaking, she urged Yun Yan to ask the coachman to drive the carriage.

Yun Xi also wanted to leave quickly, but she didn’t know why, but she always felt a little uneasy.

The group left the village in a large procession, about eighty or ninety people in total.

There were more than sixty members of the Yun clan, young and old, and more than twenty members of Aunt Bao's three families. The team looked quite impressive.

The two families at the back also wanted to follow them, but Xi said they could follow as they pleased, but she couldn't control them once they got to the city.

Seeing Xi's firm attitude and seeing that others were the same, the two families gave up the idea of ​​following.

Forget it, just stay at home. Anyway, when the bandits come down the mountain, they usually just rob food and money and won’t harm lives.

Just go back and not go anywhere.

As soon as Yun Xi and his friends walked out of the village, Yun Yi and his friends who were hiding in the dark saw Yun Xi gesture to them, asking them to follow behind him.

Yun Yi and the other ten people did as they were told.

Because there were so many people, except for the elderly and children who rode in the carriage, Lian Yunxi was walking, and their speed was not very fast.

But everyone wanted to get into the city before the city gates were closed, so they were all trying their best to hurry on their way.

Even though it's autumn now, it's still very hot during the day in the south and only gets a little better at night.

The carriage was very crowded, with about ten people sitting in one carriage.

It was not comfortable to be squeezed like this. After walking for more than an hour, some children could not stand it anymore and started crying loudly.

One child started crying, and then a group of children started crying.

Even children who are two or three years old and usually behave well couldn't help but throw tantrums.

Yun Xi felt a headache after hearing this. She usually thought these little kids were cute, but she didn't expect that their crying would be so torturous.

Her brows were almost twisted into a knot.

The little great-grandson of Patriarch Yun cried the loudest. Even though he was only one year old, his voice was surprisingly loud.

Chief Yun was holding him in his arms. Yun Songlin happened to be sitting next to him. His head was buzzing from the noise made by the child. The small tuft of beard that he had smoothed down with great difficulty was shaking with the crying.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and shouted to the driver outside, "Stop, stop, old man, I want to get off. Whoever wants to sit in this broken car can sit, but I won't sit in it anymore."

The driver of the carriage happened to be Guo Wei. When he heard the shouting, he sighed and stopped the carriage.

His car was still in front, and when he stopped, the cars behind him had to stop as well.

Seeing this, Yun Xi and Yun Yan hurried over to ask what was going on.

Yun Songlin was seen groaning as he was about to get off the carriage. "I want to get off and walk. I don't want to ride in the carriage anymore. My ears are almost deafened by the noise."

The brother and sister smiled at each other, and Yun Yan said, "Okay, I'll help you down."

Yun Songlin was helped out of the carriage and began to stretch his muscles, feeling much more comfortable.

When the team was preparing to set off again, a sudden long bird call made Yun Xi and Yun Yan's faces change.

Yun Xi glanced at Yun Yan and said, "Second brother, tell Grandpa to get in the car quickly. I'll go check it out and come back."

Yun Yan wanted to say that he would go and take a look, but when he thought that he was not as fast as his younger sister, he had to nod in agreement in annoyance.

Yun Xi quickly ran towards the woods nearby. Everyone thought she was in a hurry to pee and no one paid any attention.

There were even a few women who wanted to urinate and followed him into the woods. However, they did not run as far as Yun Xi. They just relieved themselves on the spot when they saw the trees providing shelter.

When a few women finished relieving themselves and returned to the team, Yun Xi also ran back and pulled Yun Yan aside.

"Second brother, he's really here."

She didn't expect that the group of fake bandits that Yunsheng mentioned really came down the mountain and were heading towards them.

The bird song just now was Yun Yi's secret voice calling her. Yun Xi ran into the forest to see them.

"They came from the direction of the village. There were about 20 to 30 of them."

Even though they don’t have as many people as them, they are all skilled.

Two-thirds of their people were the elderly, the weak, women and children, and one-third were farmers. There were a few who were good hunters, but compared with the other side, they were no match at all.

On their side, only Yun Yan and I have skills, and there are ten people including Yun Yi.

However, if these twelve people, plus the other one-third of the men, work together and fight hard against the opponent, there is a chance of winning.

But the cost is estimated to be not small.

It would be fine if the other party was just after money, but if they were going to hurt innocent people, then they would have no choice.
