Chapter 348 Response
The two men walked back along the official road under the light of the torches.
"Brother Zirui, there's a bag here. Wait a minute, let me see what's in it."
"it is good."
Yun Yiyi lifted the bag and untied the rope, "Brother Zirui, it's filled with cornmeal."
"Yiyi, they stole the carriage from Mr. Li's family."
"I saw with my own eyes that the bandits threw it off the carriage. So this must be the food for Mr. Li's family."
"Forget it. There's not much road left. I'll just tow them back."
"Let me do it, Yiyi."
"Brother Zirui, don't fight with me. There are still several bags ahead."
The two continued to walk forward, and finally they picked up two bags of cornmeal, two bags of dried wild vegetables, and a bag of cloth.
Yun Yiyi also picked up the other baskets and put them together.
"Brother Zirui, we can't carry so many things. Let me watch here, and you go tell Li Xiucai to bring someone to take these things back."
"Brother Zirui, it's less than 500 meters, I can do it alone."
"Yiyi, I'll be back soon."
Xie Zirui ran back holding the torch.
Yun Yiyi sat on the official road and breathed a sigh of relief.
Tonight was such an exciting night.
After a while, Xie Zirui came over with Li Xiucai, Yun the butcher, and the village chief.
"Yiyi, are you okay?" Yun the butcher asked anxiously.
"Dad, I'm fine, don't worry."
"Okay, that's good. But you scared me to death, Yiyi."
"Yiyi, have all the people who robbed the carriage escaped?"
"Yiyi, is this something thrown down from my carriage?"
Yun Yiyi turned and looked at Xie Zirui.
Xie Zirui shook his head. "Yiyi, I just arrived at the woods and saw Uncle Yun and the others. So I didn't have time to tell them."
Yun Yiyi nodded and said okay.
"Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Li. The people who robbed the carriage have someone waiting for them at the entrance of the town."
"Only Brother Zirui and I stayed. The others all ran away."
"These things were thrown off the carriage by those people."
Li Xiucai looked grateful and said, "Yiyi, thanks to your quick response tonight. Otherwise, my mule cart would have been stolen by them."
"And you helped my family find so many things."
"Uncle Li, we are neighbors, so we'll help whenever we can. Don't take it too personally."
"Uncle village chief, a group of people just passed by. They will deal with the person who stayed behind."
"Oh, oh, I forgot to mention it. The people who stole Uncle Li's carriage were bandits from Qingfeng Village."
"Bandits from Qingfeng Village?"
"How is this going?"
"Why would the bandits from Qingfeng Village come to steal the carriage?"
"Uncle Yun, I heard that someone led troops to attack the bandits in Qingfeng Village. The bandits who just robbed the carriage should have escaped from the village."
"Dad, Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Li, what Brother Zirui said makes sense. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to Shilin Town to get the news tomorrow morning."
"There should be news before noon."
Li Xiucai patted his chest and said fearfully, "Fortunately we didn't sleep soundly tonight, otherwise we wouldn't have found them."
"If the bandits in Qingfeng Village are eliminated, we can continue our journey." The village chief said belatedly.
"What the village chief said is true. We have been here for a long time. If there were no bandits from Qingfeng Village, we could continue to move south."
"This is a good thing, we should be happy. I will go back to the village soon and tell the villagers the news so that they can be happy too."
"Of course, tonight is all thanks to Yiyi and Zirui. You two woke up quickly and reacted quickly."
"Uncle Village Chief, this is what I should do."
"Yes, Uncle Village Chief, since I came to the village, the villagers have been very nice to me. I am willing to help everyone to the best of my ability."
The village chief laughed, "You two are both good kids."
"Uncle village chief, let's carry these things back quickly. It will be dawn soon."
"Let's go back now." The village chief took the lead and carried a bag.
Everyone divided up the remaining items and took them all back home.
Xie Zirui and Yun Yiyi put the things at Li Xiucai's house and hurried back.
The main reason was that Li Xiucai’s family was too enthusiastic and the two of them couldn’t resist.
"Yiyi, Zirui, come to my house for dinner tomorrow night."
"Yes, auntie."
After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she shook her head unconsciously. It was too enthusiastic, a little scary.
Xie Zirui next to him also looked confused.
"Yiyi, Zirui, you two are back. I was so worried at home."
Yun Yiyi hurried over and hugged Zhang's arm and shook it, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine."
Zhang looked at Xie Zirui again.
"Aunt, I'm fine too. I'm not hurt."
"Yiyi, has Li Xiucai's carriage been recovered?"
"Yiyi, where did you chase me back from?"
"Yiyi, did they all escape?"
"Big brother, second brother, third brother, I chased them to the entrance of Shilin Town. But there are people there to meet them."
"So, only Brother Zirui and I were left behind, and the others all fled. Li Xiucai's carriage was also driven away by them."
"In addition, the identities of the people who stole the carriage have also been confirmed. They are bandits from Qingfeng Village."
"Yiyi, why did the bandits from Qingfeng Village come to our village in the middle of the night to steal the carriage? This is a bit abnormal."
Brother Yun San shouted hurriedly.
"Third brother, it is said that someone led troops to attack Qingfeng Village. These people escaped from Qingfeng Village. They probably didn't have enough carriages, so they stole to our village."
"Third brother, I guess the bandits have scouted the area well in advance. That's why they were able to find us so accurately."
"Brother, you are so smart. They definitely did it on purpose. There are so many refugee groups around us. If we don't step carefully, we won't be able to find them."
"Yiyi, are there no bandits in Qingfeng Village? Can we continue on our journey?"
"Mom, we still have to go to Shilin Town tomorrow to get the details."
"If the news is accurate, we can set off soon."
Zhang clapped her hands and said, "Great, we can finally move on. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to reach Yunzhou before the New Year."
"Haha, Mom, I guess the refugees around here all have the same idea as you."
Zhang smiled and said, "It's normal to think the same as me. It's the New Year, who wants to travel on the road?"
"Mom, you are right." Yun Yiyi gave a thumbs up.
"Brother Zirui and I also helped Li Xiucai's family pick up a lot of food and wild vegetables that the bandits threw down from the carriage."
"So, apart from the loss of a carriage, Mr. Li's family is lucky that everyone is safe."
