The host of the quick travel is lacking in virtue for eight generations

"Master, it wasn't a robber. It looked like he was killed by a wild beast."

Just as the Li family was about to run out of the village, they heard the servant hurriedly speak to Li Zhen who was trying to comfort his family.

"Wild beasts? We didn't encounter any wild beasts in the mountains. Is it possible that they came down the mountain?"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent at the same time, and Li Zhen said with a frown.

"It shouldn't be. The footprints look like a pack of wolves. They may have come from the grassland on the other side."

Gu Lanzhang pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "When we climbed over the mountain, we saw a plain to the west. Although it was not completely green, it did have some greenery."

"This is Jiumu County, which is famous for raising horses, cattle and sheep. Wolves often come here, so it's normal to encounter wolves."

Xiao Yun spoke to them.

"Yes, yes, yes. I did hear some locals say this when I passed by here. I never thought that wolves would run into people's homes and hurt them. It was really scary."

Aunt Xiao also recalled the situation when they passed by here more than ten years ago. At that time, they did not dare to go into the mountains because they heard the howling of wolves and stayed here for two days.

Xiao Yun pointed to the yard next to her and asked them to look at the wolf pup skins inside, "Because those wolves are here for revenge."

At this time, everyone noticed that she had walked to the front, and they also walked over to take a look. Except for a few younger girls, they all looked sorry when they saw the wolf cub skin. They thought that these villagers were too much. How could they lay hands on a cub...

The other members of the Li family entered several other courtyards and headed straight for the kitchen with a clear goal. They had no food left, so they just happened to replenish some here.

Xiao Yun stopped Gu Huairen and others who were about to go to the kitchen in this courtyard, and pointed to the lid of the cellar that was not closed by the courtyard wall. "Take a look inside first. People here like to store food in the cellar and only put a little in the kitchen."

The main thing is that Xiao Lin said that someone in this yard was bitten to death in the kitchen, and the body has begun to rot, so it’s best not to get contaminated.

Gu Huaili ran over to take a look first, then waved at them. Xiao Yun felt relieved that this kid had finally learned not to yell when encountering problems.

Gu Huairen went over and went down to the cellar with him, while Gu Lanzhang and Gu Huaiyi were waiting for them upstairs.

Soon three large sacks were brought up, full of food!

Xiao Yun did not stand there either. He took Gu Mingyue and her sister to take a look behind the house. They saw a sheep pen with several dead sheep in it.

She quickly led them back. The smell was too overpowering. It was already smelly, and the rotting corpse made it even more pungent.

At this time, Gu Lanzhang and his two sons had already started loading food onto the wheelbarrow. Xiao Yun pointed to the wooden carriage next to the wall and said, "This is just right for the donkey to pull. The wheelbarrow can be tied behind it and towed."

Several people's eyes lit up. Yes, why didn't they think of it? They only thought about food and forgot that every family here raises livestock and most of them have carts.

"Are there any animals still alive? If there is another cow, we can drive two carts, one for things and one for people."

Gu Huaili spoke up.

Gu Huaiyi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Go and look for them and you'll find out. If you keep dawdling here, the Li family will take them away."

"Yes, yes, let's split up and look for them. They haven't been to those places yet."

"Third brother, you and the eldest sister go to the fourth household. Second brother, you and the youngest sister go to the fifth household. I will go to the household on the left. If you find anything, please greet each other."

After the distribution, the children ran to other yards. Xiao Yun hurriedly shouted from behind: "Don't go into the house and look around. If you see corpses, stay away. They have been dead for several days. Don't let them get infected with the disease."

"Got it, mother."

Several people stopped, turned around, nodded in agreement, and then left.

Before, they really wanted to go into the house to see if there was anything valuable, but now they didn’t dare to do so after what their mother said.

"Let's harness the car, put all the stuff in it, and leave when the kids come back. We shouldn't stay here for long."

Gu Lanzhang walked to the wall, put down the cart, turned around and said to Xiao Yun.

Xiao Yun nodded. "We really can't stay here for long. There might be wolves coming over. There are also these dead bodies. If someone finds out and reports to the authorities, we might be suspected."

As they talked, they quickly put the bridle on the cart and then put it on the donkey.

This cart was previously pulled by oxen, so it was very sturdy, and they had indeed seen the corpse of a cow behind it.

Afterwards, he and Gu Lanzhang worked together to carry the grain onto the car. In fact, it was no problem for both of them to carry one sack each. There were members of the Li family coming in and out not far away, so they did it for outsiders to see.

Since they had joined the Li family, they had not shown any strength.

Speaking of which, Gu Lanzhang is a very cautious person and saved Xiao Yun a lot of trouble.

Several children were also secretly told to tell others that they learned martial arts from an old escort master in the village. They had been learning from him since they were young, so they have achieved some success now.

The main reason was that Second Aunt Xiao and Xiao Yulian often came over. Xiao Yulian was trying to gain a sense of presence from Xiao Yun, while Second Aunt Xiao wanted to build a good relationship and then become relatives.

It’s not that I want their help, but I mainly want Xiao Yulian to have a family to visit so that the two of them can have some support.

Although Xiao Yulian became Li Zhen's concubine, she was still a servant after all. She had no say in many matters, and even the marriage of her children had to be decided by the mistress.

Not to mention Second Aunt Xiao, she was also a servant of the Li family. Because of her relationship with Xiao Yulian, she was in charge of the kitchen, which was considered quite respectable.

But a servant is a servant, and once something happens, she will be the first to be abandoned. After all, they signed a death contract at that time, which had severed their ties with the Xiao family and left her without any roots. Especially after the death of Second Uncle Xiao, she was even more like a rootless duckweed.

So she was most happy to see Xiao Yun, and she also asked a lot about the family of Xiao Lao Da, her biological father, hoping to resume their relationship.

Xiao Yun really didn't know about this. She could only talk about the past situation. After all, she didn't know where the people of Kuiyang Village would go next.

According to her original idea, she was going to part ways with them after going down the mountain, but she had a vague intuition that the fate between them was more than that, and even if they separated now, they would meet again in the future.

So she simply went with the flow. If the Li family said they would leave first, then they would go their separate ways. They had no particular goal anyway, they just wanted to find a safe place to settle down.

If the Li family wanted to take them along and had a destination, it was not impossible. At least Li Zhen seemed to be a nice person.

He is a very smart person. Although he has some small calculations, he is not a treacherous villain and he always uses open strategies.

Moreover, based on his facial features, Xiao Yun could tell that he would be blessed in the future, just like Second Aunt Xiao, and this should also be fulfilled in his children.
