Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

Chapter 236 Your Abacus Beads Are About to Break on My Face

The next morning, just as the sky was turning pale, Yuelai Inn was already awake.

After having a simple breakfast, the Yun family did not stay in the inn for long and took a car to leave Qinghe County and head to Dashan Village.

The distance from Qinghe County to Dashan Village is not far, but because it is mostly country roads, the speed of the carriage is much slower than on the official road.

The carriage drove on the relatively flat country road for about two hours. The surrounding scenery changed quietly, and the flat fields were gradually replaced by rolling and lush green mountains.

The driver let out a "whoosh" and gently pulled the reins. The carriage slowly drove off the main road and turned into a narrow path that was only wide enough for one carriage. This path was the only entrance to the Dashan Village.

The carriage bumped along this path, moving even slower than before.

Inside the carriage, Yun Qingqing lifted the curtain and looked at the environment outside which was surrounded by rolling green mountains. This mountain village was indeed as its name suggests, a village hidden deep in the mountains.

"Wow!" Yun Chengying, who was sitting next to her, exclaimed in surprise. He stretched his neck to look outside, his tone full of undisguised amazement, "This place is really well hidden! If it weren't for Abao telling you there was a village here, I would never have thought there was a village hidden in this remote mountain area! This village is so secluded, I'm afraid there aren't many outsiders living here, right?"

Yun Chengxi, who was sitting next to him, smiled and continued, "This place is remote and surrounded by mountains. There's only one road leading to the village, and it's inconspicuous, without even a sign. Most of the people living here have probably lived here for generations."

Yun Chengyuan, who was sitting in the back seat, had been dozing against the wall with his arms folded. He opened his eyes upon hearing this and also looked out the window. A flicker of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. "This place is nice. It looks quiet and comfortable. From now on, our family can stay here, farm, hunt, work from sunrise to sunset, and live an ordinary life."

Yun Chenghao, who was sitting next to him, brightened his eyes and agreed with a smile, "Third brother is right. Let's just stay here and live an ordinary life. The eight of us brothers have plenty of strength and skills. Clearing the land, farming, and hunting are no problem." His tone was full of enthusiasm. "When the time comes, we'll clean up the area around the house, plant seasonal vegetables and fruits, and raise a few cages of chickens and ducks. We'll be self-sufficient."

"Right." Yun Chengxiao smiled and responded immediately. He patted his sturdy arms and grinned, "What's the big deal about clearing wasteland? I've got so much strength, and I'm just worried about where to use it! When the time comes, I'll open up dozens of acres of his fertile land, and I'm sure our granary will be overflowing. I'll take care of the hunting, too. This mountain looks rich in resources, with plenty of pheasants, rabbits, and wild boars."

As soon as the words fell, Yun Chengying, who was sitting next to Yun Qingqing, immediately smiled and said, "Fourth brother, let me take care of the hunting. Fourth brother, you are strong, so you are more suitable for heavy work like tilling the land!"

When Yun Chengxiao heard that his younger brother had so "considerately" assigned him the "important task" of "cultivating the land," and that he had specifically emphasized his "great strength" and "suitability for heavy work," while also giving him a sincere, "I'm doing this for your own good" look, the corners of his lips twitched, and he said unhappily, "You little brat, your abacus beads are about to fall on my face!"

Yun Chengying chuckled, a hint of cunning on his face, and continued, "Fourth brother, I'm just making the best use of my talents. Hunting requires quick eyes and hands, and silence. Tracking prey requires dexterity and experience. This job..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yun Chengxiao's cold snort.

"Everyone is making the best use of their talents?" Yun Chengxiao glanced at him, the corner of his mouth curled up with full of sarcasm, "With your hunting skills, you're not as good as me."

Yun Chengying was almost choked by Yun Chengxiao's words "Not as good as me". He stiffened his neck, his face full of youthful spirit and dissatisfaction, and his voice rose a few notches: "Fourth brother! I don't like what you said! What do you mean by my limited ability? Last time in the woods, if I hadn't..."

"If your arrow hadn't missed and scared away the biggest musk deer?" Yun Chengxiao interrupted him rudely, the sneer on his face growing even stronger. He crossed his arms and calmly watched his brother jump up and down. "That musk deer was less than thirty steps away from you. It was such a big target. Tsk tsk..."

"That was because I was distracted!" Yun Chengying was a little annoyed that he had made a mistake because of his distraction, but he would rather lose the battle than the battle, so he stubbornly argued, "Besides, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Let's compete when we get to Dashan Village!"

"No competition, it's boring." Yun Chengxiao leaned lazily against the wall of the car.
