Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Hongyu also quietly pulled Xu Yun.

Xu Yun was unmoved, not even his expression changed, except to add: "There are four of us, not one less."

Hearing her talk about four people, Hongyu lowered her head and her eyes became sore.

Finally, Auntie Deng smiled again: "Now that it has come to this, then you should follow us. Besides, you can't just blindly walk away. You can only follow us! If you can't keep up, forget it!"

After saying that, Auntie Deng told a younger man next to her, "Help her find someone. It will take at most 15 minutes. If you can't find someone, leave immediately!"

Xu Yun felt slightly relieved. He only had time to say thank you and asked Xie Wanqing and Hongyu to wait with them while he went to look for Uncle Ding.

When Ding Bo was found, he was already dead.

Aunt Deng frowned: "If we take him out, he will smell bad in two days in this weather. And who among the three of you can carry him? It's better to bury him on the spot."

Xu Yun opened his mouth, wanting to say that he could recite it.

But Xie Wanqing agreed without question: "Then please help me. Let's go first and do it at a suitable place."

Xu Yun did not say anything else. He just silently tore Ding Bo's clothes into strips and tried to carry the body on his back.

Hongyu fought with Xu Yun for it: "Ah Yun, you are still young and can't carry it! I'll do it!"

Xu Yun disagreed, "You are injured."

Finally, it was Aunt Deng who said, "You carry it first, and we will help you later."

Xu Yun thanked him again.

This time, no one wasted time, and Aunt Deng led them deeper into the woods.

From a distance, even Xu Yun and the others heard a few wolf howls.

There were at least 20 to 30 people in Aunt Deng's group, but they were all focused on getting on with their journey and no one spoke.

Apart from the sound of footsteps, there was no sound at all in the woods.

Xu Yun was carrying Ding Bo's body on his back and was walking quickly until he was sweating all over - although Ding Bo was thin, he was still a man, weighing over 100 pounds. With Ding Bo on his back, Xu Yun felt his legs trembling with every step.

Xie Wanqing's foot was injured, and she was having difficulty following, let alone helping.

Only Hongyu could use her uninjured arm to help Xu Yun hold on as much as possible.

But if we talk about tiredness, it is Auntie Deng and her friends who are the most tired. Each of them is carrying a burden.

On each side of the load was a basket, and inside the basket was a large hemp sack.

Xu Yun didn't know what was in the big sack, but looking at their expressions, Xu Yun guessed that the things inside were quite heavy.

After walking about a mile, Aunt Deng asked everyone to take a break, and then she came over with a hoe on her shoulder: "Let's choose a place."

Xu Yun understood what Aunt Deng meant, but he didn't act pretentiously. He just pointed to a tree and said, "It's right next to this."

This tree is the most luxuriant. I hope it can provide Ding Bo with shelter from wind and rain in the future.

Xu Yun held out his hand: "Please lend it to me, I'll dig with you."

Ding Bo died for her today, and she should see him off for the last time.

"He's a filial child." Aunt Deng nodded and put the hoe into Xu Yun's hand. Her movements were so smooth that it seemed as if she had no intention of helping.

Of course, Aunt Deng finally helped.

After all, if Xu Yun digs alone, how long will it take?

Not only Aunt Deng, but a group of women came to help dig.

After digging a pit that could barely accommodate one person, Xu Yun took the initiative to speak: "Okay. Let's make it this deep."

This situation is definitely not comparable to a proper funeral. It's OK as long as it doesn't get dug out by wild beasts.

After the last handful of soil fell, Xu Yun made a mark with a stone, planning to rebury Ding Bo's bones when the world stabilized in the future.

While she was doing all this, Aunt Deng was talking to Xie Wanqing - actually just to find out the truth.

Xie Wanqing was a simple-minded person and was almost tricked by Aunt Deng in just a few words.

But Xu Yun did not stop them: If they want others to take them away, they must tell them the situation.

Of course, Xie Wanqing was not stupid enough to tell everything. She only said that her husband was dead and her family members had embezzled her property. She could only leave with Xu Yun and the servants. The world was not going well, and she thought that the Xinghuo Army might be safer.

Speaking of the Spark Army, Auntie Deng looked very proud: "Then you really made the right choice!"

Then there was another round of rushing.

However, before leaving, Aunt Deng asked a woman who knew some bone setting skills to massage Xie Wanqing to make sure that no bones were injured.

Moreover, Aunt Deng comforted them: "Once we climb over two mountains, it will be easy!"

Xu Yun guessed that there might be someone to pick him up.

She walked up to Auntie Deng, panting as she hurried along, and asked, "Auntie Deng, are you from the Spark Army? Does the Spark Army really have a female general as rumored?!"

She originally wanted to pretend to be lively and curious, but she couldn't pretend at all when she was panting like that!

And it wasn't that she was too squeamish and couldn't keep up, it was really because Aunt Deng and the others were walking too fast!

Xu Yun was envious and admired them - after all, not only did they walk fast, but none of them even panted! Unlike the three of them, they all had to push themselves!

Aunt Deng laughed out loud: "Not only are there female generals, but there are also female soldiers! Especially the female soldiers led by General Jiang, they are all very skilled! General Jiang is very powerful, smart and capable!"

This statement was considered as a tacit acknowledgement that they were members of the Spark Army.

Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief again. Then he asked, "Does the bandit want to capture you and hand you over to the authorities?"

At this time, the sky was already grayish white. Aunt Deng laughed even harder. "You are an extraordinary girl! You are trying to trick me! To tell you the truth, they want to steal our food! We are here just to buy food!"

Xu Yun was stunned.

She had thought about finding out military intelligence or something, but she didn't expect it to be this.

As for the embarrassment of having her thoughts exposed, she didn't feel any: "Is the Spark Army short of food?"

She felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she should have gone to the granary of the prefect's mansion again before leaving.

Maybe it was because Xu Yun's abacus was too loud, the library said in her mind: "No."

Xu Yun ignored him and continued to ask Aunt Deng: "What is Aunt Deng going to do with us? Throw us into the mountains, or kill us to silence us? I heard that the Spark Army doesn't kill innocent people, is that true?"

Aunt Deng: ...How can I answer this?

She laughed and scolded: "Why should we kill you? Why should we punish you? You are so young, what do you think about every day!"

After a pause, she said in a sonorous voice: "We won't do anything to you, but if you can't keep up and fall into the mountain, don't blame us!"

Xu Yun suddenly understood why they were all walking so fast.

I’m afraid it’s not just to get rid of the bandits?

Xu Yun said without hesitation: "We can definitely catch up. Madam Deng, take us to find the Spark Army!"

Mrs. Deng didn't agree immediately, but just quickened her pace: "We'll talk when you can catch up!"
