"My dear uncles, uncles, and brothers, thank you all for your hard work today. As the pillars of our families, we must protect them in times of crisis! We must not retreat even a little! If you are hesitant or confused about the road ahead, your family will inevitably worry too. The road ahead is still long, and we must all work together!"

"Next, let me talk about a few things. Li and I are discussing some rules on the way. They are for everyone's safety and to ensure that everyone arrives safely without missing a single person."

Everyone below sat up straight and listened carefully, afraid of forgetting that one.

"First: If you encounter the elderly, the weak, women, or children on the road, you must not show any compassion! You must remember this! Go back and give your wife and children some words of advice!"

"Second: obey orders! That means if the village chief says stop, we obey, and if he says go, we leave quickly!"

Yu Chunjiang, Mr. Yu's second brother, patted his chest and promised happily:

“I don’t know about other families, but I can definitely do it!”

“My family does too!”

Yu Yaozu lowered his hand slightly: "Third..."

Yu Yaozu looked around at everyone and said slowly:

"Don't be greedy! If you find lost property on the road, don't be greedy! It's owned by someone, and no one knows if it might contain any infectious disease."

Everyone responded in agreement, saying they would definitely follow the rules.

The village head nodded and said, "That's good. As long as we work together, we will be able to reach our destination safely. Once there, we will rebuild our homes and live a stable life."

His words were full of firmness and confidence, which eased people's anxiety a little.

The village head continued, "For now, these are the only three points. Anyway, just follow your instructions! The road ahead is too long, and I, an old man, have never been out of the house. This road, we still have to rely on Yaozu to lead us. Let Yaozu be the leader, and I, an old man, will follow you from behind to support you."

"But! Let me be frank! Anyone who disagrees or is dissatisfied can just get out of our team! Just pretend that this person doesn't exist in our Yu Village!"

Seeing Yu Yaozu was about to speak, the village head raised his hand to stop him: "Yaozu, don't refuse yet. We are all from the same village. It's always safer to be with the same village when we go out."

Seeing this, Yu Yaozu no longer refused. "In that case, I will be the leader. I promise everyone here that I will do my best to lead everyone to their destination safely!"

Yu Baibai received Yu Yaozu's gaze and clapped her hands: "Daddy is so awesome!"

Yu Qingfeng was frightened by his little granddaughter for a moment, and then he was held by her hand and started patting her.

Everyone followed suit, and there was applause and cheers from the crowd.

"However," Yu Yaozu changed the subject, "while on the road, everyone must also abide by the three rules I just mentioned. Only in this way can we better help each other and get out of this predicament."

Everyone agreed.

Afterwards, Yu Yaozu began to arrange tomorrow's itinerary and work assignments.

"We have to get up early tomorrow to travel, so everyone should rest early tonight. Please take care of the women, children, and the elderly. Also, remember to bring enough dry food and water. Those on duty today should be alert. When we're done, go home and take care of your families!"

Afterwards, the villagers dispersed to rest and prepare to embark on a long journey.

Although the future is uncertain, they believe that as long as they unite as one, they will be able to overcome difficulties.

The long night is just a blink of an eye.

The people of Yujia Village at the foot of the hill had already set out on their journey before the sun rose.

The route Yu Yaozu chose was the shortest one. Although it was a bit rugged, it could at least avoid man-made disasters.

Besides, this is in the mountains, even if we dig wild vegetables, we can survive this mountain!

Yu Yaozu walked in front, holding the reins and walking steadily.

Following closely behind were the men of the village, carrying bags filled with food for their families.

Yu Yaozu looked back from time to time to make sure no one was left behind.

His eyes were firm and steady, as if telling everyone: Follow me, and you will definitely be able to get out of this forest.

Yu Yaozu: Is this face really necessary? So tiring...

Yu Yaozu's family was fine, but old lady Yu started to make trouble.

He walked there and cursed at the top of his voice:

"Yu Chengzong! Is this how you let your wife harm your own mother? Was it that motherless bastard Zhan Yirou who instigated this? I'll beat you to death!"

"Oh my God! What sins did I commit in my past life? None of these three sons are good!"

Yu Chengguang was walking nearby and was displeased when he heard this:

"Mom, please don't scold me too! I'm very filial to you. Have you forgotten that I was the one who carried you yesterday when you couldn't walk? Ouch! Mom! Why did you hit me?"

Before he could finish his words, a pair of broken straw sandals flew over, followed by a burst of curses:

"You little bastard, you still dare to say that? I've already carried you into the ditch!"

Yu Chengguang still refused to accept it and stretched his neck: "I haven't seen your other sons let you get in the car to rest! I am the only filial son!"

Yu Baibai could hear it even though she was in front of her, which shows how loud Yu’s voice is.

"Mom, what's wrong?" As he was about to stick his neck out of the small window, Qiao Mu pulled him back.

"Don't move, I'll ask your father."

Qiao Mu whispered to Yu Chengzong, "What's going on? Why are you cursing again? Isn't Mrs. Yu the one who loves her second son the most?"

Yu Chengzong also looked helpless: "What else can I do? I sent food to the old man yesterday, but he thought it was too little, so he started making trouble again."

Qiao Mu sighed, "I've already told you that we're fleeing now, so having something to eat is good enough. Why are you still not satisfied?"

Yu Chengzong quickly consoled her, "Let her scold you, there's plenty of meat for us two to eat. We'll have Baibai go in front of the old man and confront her."

Whoever wants to suffer this injustice can bear it, but I, Yu Yaozu, can't do it. I have to find a chance to collect some interest. He still remembers that I tried to snatch Baibai away.

Yu Baibai on the side pulled Qiao Mu's sleeve and said, "Mom, wait and see how I'll vent your anger!"

Qiao Mu touched Yu Baiba's head and said, "Okay! Come find your grandfather after you have a rest." The old woman Yu's scolding was too harsh. She really needed to be scolded.

Old Lady Yu continued to curse relentlessly, her voice growing louder and louder, even affecting the progress of the people behind her.

Yu Yaozu finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled, "Shut up! If you don't want to leave, get out of here!"

Old Lady Yu was startled and immediately became quiet.

The others also lowered their heads silently and continued on their way.
