The modified carriage was extremely light, and the three of them went straight to their destination without stopping or even communicating.

The destination was near a recently discovered small gold mine. Beichen discovered this small gold mine and formed a small team to mine it.

However, there are few water resources in the desert, so it is impossible to organize a large-scale army to come here, so the local people are captured as laborers, including women, old people and children, and every additional livestock is worth one.

They wanted to save only a few of the many slaves, but their goal was extremely clear, and they only saved the nearly thirty people Yun Yu mentioned.

When it was almost dark, they arrived near their destination, but there was a little problem.

Due to a lack of understanding of the terrain, one of the carriages got stuck in the quicksand and was unable to break free.

Yun Yu was a little anxious, "What should I do?"

Zhuo Yao made a quick decision and cut off the shaft of the carriage with his sword. The horse and carriage separated, "Abandon the carriage! Let's go!"

"But without a carriage, we can't save so many people!" Yun Yu didn't want to give up.

"How many can be saved?" Zhuo Yao's order was not sloppy at all. Yun Yu had no better way and could only follow it.

Several people arrived near the tribe, hid the carriage behind the huge bare rock, hid their faces, took their weapons, and quietly sneaked into the tribe.

There were only a few Beichen soldiers patrolling back and forth, and there might be a few more in the tent. Zhuo Yao gestured to the two of them to split up.

The two of them received the order. Yun Yu's skills were indeed good, and he killed people cleanly. Within a few back and forth, the Beichen soldiers stationed there were killed before they could send out a signal.

Yun Yu hurriedly asked the leader of the tribe, Granny, to gather everyone. They were lucky enough to just catch up with the female slaves who were dragged to work and were brought back. In other words, this is all. Zhuo Yao counted a total of twenty-eight. personal.

Yun Yu was a little in disbelief, "I've only been away for ten days, how come so many people died?"

An old woman pursed her lips and looked sad, "Girl, there is nothing we can do. My sisters are too old to do such heavy work."

"What about sister?" Yun Yu remembered that this young sister was only in her thirties and was the most beautiful in the tribe.

"Hey, a supervisor came to the mine. That day, he saw that Third Sister was pretty, so he... just took her... Hey... Third Sister couldn't think about it anymore and committed suicide."

Yun Yu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "What supervisor? I'm going to kill him!"

"Don't cause trouble!" Zhuo Yao ordered, "Move first!"

"There are only two carriages, which can hold up to twenty people. You eight are just too old, so give up!" Zhuo Yao turned around and said decisively to everyone, without any hint of discussion.

Yun Yu heard this but stopped, "It can obviously hold twenty-two people! Why don't we just squeeze it in a little bit?"

Boss Lu frowned slightly when he heard this, and Zhuo Yao clicked his tongue. He crossed his hands and stared at Yun Yu, feeling that this woman was too stunned.

He pulled the person aside and said, "Are you lacking any brain power? If you pretend to be twenty-two people, how do you want them to choose from the two extra places?"

Yun Yu's eyes turned red with anger after hearing this, "Why! Save two more if you can! Why waste these two positions!"

"Then you go and discuss it. As long as you can agree on it, it's up to you!" Zhuo Yao waved his hand and said, "You can do whatever you want!"

Yun Yu really ran to let them decide the quota.

They first looked around and hesitated, and then someone said, "I still have to wait for my son to come back!"

Some people take the initiative, but some people don't care about face.

"You! Who doesn't have a son yet! My grandson has just been born, how can Alan take care of it by himself!"

"Can you take me away..."

……

They are vying to tell their pain first, and who would want to be the one abandoned.

At first it was just a discussion, but as time went by, it turned into a quarrel and a denunciation meeting.

"You usually take advantage, but now you still want to run away!"

"That's right! Why are you leaving! Let my mother go!"

Yun Yu didn't expect it to develop like this, and she hated herself for letting the carriage sink into quicksand.

Zhuo Yao shook his head helplessly. He was about to yell angrily and ask them to solve this problem quickly.

An old voice spoke. It was the temporary leader of this place. The voice was slow and kind, as soft as singing, "Sisters and sisters, we are all old. We can't carry it with our shoulders. We still have to carry it with our hands." There are multiple people to take care of, why don’t we just keep each other company here?”

"Sister Caria! I...I don't want to die!"

"This is not called death, this is called sending them away. They all have hope. They are looking forward to the return of their husbands and the growth of their children. We have all lived for so many years. We have all hoped for and got what we deserve. , If you really can't get it, you may never get it again, let them go, don't delay..."

This grandma's voice is like a deep and long ancient bell, very bewitching.

The grannies gradually stopped making trouble, and Zhuo Yao and Boss Lu began to move the young girls and children away first.

Yun Yu was never willing to give in. She wanted to take the two of them away no matter what, but Grandma sat there quietly, like a kind statue, allowing people to accept death calmly.

Yun Yu knelt in front of her, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I broke a carriage. If I hadn't broken it, I could take you away with me!"

After hearing this, grandma smiled and said to her, "Miss Yunyu, we are old. If you save us today, tomorrow we will die of famine, drought, and long journey. After all, we don't have a few days to live..."

"No, I've found a place to go. Someone will take us in after crossing Shayu Pass. We won't starve to death..."

"It's okay, it's okay, ah..." Grandma gently stroked Yun Yu's hair and kept comforting her.

It wasn't until Zhuo Yao and Boss Lu squeezed everyone into the carriage and urged Yun Yu to leave that she wiped away her tears and chose to leave, with full reluctance, "Grandma, then I'll pick you up tomorrow! Definitely!"

Yun Yu got on the carriage, and just as he was about to set off, the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away, and there were quite a few people.

"Pursuing soldiers?" Zhuo Yao asked.

Upon hearing this, Boss Lu handed the reins to a girl in the car, "You go first! I'll go take a look!"

Boss Lu only went there for a while and then returned with information, "It's the Mei family's army. It looks like it should be Mei Shaohong!"

"Mei Shaohong?" Zhuo Yao frowned when he heard the name, "This man is troublesome! Let's go!"

Yun Yu was riding alone, with no carriage behind her. She approached Zhuo Yao, "Mei Shaohong? The youngest son of Mei Gong in the North?"

"Yes!"

"What will happen to Grandma and the others?" Yun Yu asked.

"He will die!" Zhuo Yao said concisely and to the point, "He is the most vicious!"

When Yun Yu heard this, her heart sank as her face sank, and the horse under her slowly slowed down its pace.

Zhuo Yao couldn't help but remind her, "Don't think of stupid things! You will die if you go!"

Yun Yu's horse stopped completely. She suddenly turned the horse's head, pinched the horse's belly, and the horse flew away.

The night sky is blue, the stars are bright, and the desert is coated in the same light blue as Yun Yu's clothes.

Yun Yu passed two carriages, and she walked away decisively, leaving only one sentence.

"I can't just sit back and ignore it!"
