Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Hearing Hongyu's words, Xu Yun smiled and shook his head: "How could they take us? Our identities are unknown. They must be afraid that we are spies."

Xie Wanqing and Hongyu were both stunned, shock written all over their faces.

There's no need to say it, what they want to say is already clearly written on their faces: Why do you have to go through so much trouble to catch up?

Xu Yun and the others analyzed the situation carefully: "If we didn't follow them at that time, they wouldn't let us go. They would either tie us up and throw us somewhere, or force us to follow them. If that were the case, they would never trust us."

After a pause, she yawned, and felt her eyelids were about to stick together, as if they were weighed down by a thousand pounds. She spoke with a strong sense of sleepiness: "Besides, we don't have a carriage, and we may encounter even greater troubles when we go into the city. What if the Xu family... comes looking for us? Now that we are here, at least we are safe for the time being. Let's get some sleep."

After saying this, Xu Yun really let himself close his eyes and fell into darkness in an instant.

There's no way. I'm full and I'm already extremely tired, so I feel really sleepy.

Xie Wanqing was worried, but Hongyu took Xu Yun's words to heart: "Madam, go to sleep. If the young lady says it's okay, then it must be okay!"

That tone clearly showed that he had blind confidence in Xu Yun.

Xie Wanqing finally fell asleep.

The three of them didn't wake up until midnight.

It was Xu Yun who came down to drink water and accidentally woke them up. Everyone had been gritting their teeth and struggling all the way here. Now that they lay down, they really felt like they couldn't get up.

After drinking the water, all three of them woke up.

Xie Wanqing lowered her voice: "Why don't we run away secretly!"

Xu Yun was shocked by this bad idea: "We are unfamiliar with the place, where can we run? Not only can we not run away, we have to stay and help! When we are more familiar with the place and the world is better, we can ask Aunt Deng to help us find a trustworthy driver to take us to Yongxing City."

Yongxing City, the capital of the Xinghuo Army.

It is also the safest place with the most opportunities!

But Yongxing City has not been taken yet, so we can’t go there for the time being.

Xu Yun was so organized that Xie Wanqing and Hongyu felt relieved. Neither of them realized that their dependence on Xu Yun was growing stronger.

Early the next morning, Xu Yun found Aunt Deng and said, "Aunt Deng, we want to help too."

Aunt Deng stared at Xu Yun and didn't say anything for a long time.

Xu Yun said in a gentle voice: "We really want to help. If you are afraid that we are spies, just assign us unimportant tasks."

Aunt Deng thought for a moment and said, "Tell me the truth, what do you want to do? You are not ordinary people, so why do your family let you go out without worrying about it?"

Many excuses and lies flashed through Xu Yun's mind.

But when she met Aunt Deng's eyes, she told the truth: "My father didn't like me being a girl and wanted to sell me off, but my mother couldn't bear it, so she took us away. We heard that the Xinghuo Army used women, and we felt that this was the only way for us to survive. Aunt Deng, I want to live a good life."

Xu Yun's eyes are bright and clear.

Auntie Deng couldn't help but think: With such a clean pair of eyes, what bad thoughts could he have? What kind of bad person could he be?

She sighed, "It's not that I don't believe you, I just don't dare to believe you. I can't send you to the Spark Army. To be honest, I don't have that ability. You see, we are not from here. We women follow the Spark Army and help if we can. If we can't, we will just farm."

"You three really don't look like farmers." Aunt Deng blurted out without any embarrassment.

Xu Yun: So this is why you don’t want to keep us! !

But Xu Yun didn't plan to farm. She was reborn again, how could she not seize the opportunity? !

Xu Yun smiled and looked at Aunt Deng, and said softly, "Is the Spark Army short of food? I know where to find food. But I want to do business with them."

Aunt Deng looked at Xu Yun's eyes, which were still clear and bright, and always felt that something was different now.

She even wanted to ask: Does your mother know that you are such a daughter?

But Auntie Deng still knew what was important. She thought for a moment and said, "I can help you pass on the message, but I don't know if it will work."

Xu Yun nodded: "Okay, ask for me. By the way, my mother doesn't know about these things, can you not tell her?"

Aunt Deng had an expression that said "I knew it".

After saying this, Xu Yun brought up the original topic again: "Mrs. Deng, please assign us some work. We live here and can't be idle every day. Besides, we can't buy food even if we have money now. Even if we pay, others won't be happy."

This "others" refers only to their eldest daughter-in-law, Hua Niang.

After the meal, Hua Niang's face looked very bad.

Aunt Deng obviously understood what Xu Yun meant.

But this request made her feel embarrassed: "Then what can you do?"

It is definitely impossible to let them go to buy food.

Xu Yun had already prepared: "My mother and Hongyu both know how to weave and sew. Although I can't weave or sew, I can do everything. I can even work in the fields."

Aunt Deng hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Then let your mother and Hongyu help make summer clothes. You..."

Looking at Xu Yun's small body and remembering how Xu Yun fell down without saying a word, Aunt Deng felt a little frightened. After a long pause, she said, "Just stay with me and help me."

As long as we keep them under our nose, we don't have to worry about them doing anything tricky.

Xu Yun also understood what Aunt Deng meant and agreed without hesitation.

When Hongyu and Xie Wanqing heard that they could help with sewing in exchange for food, they agreed without hesitation: the money they brought with them was limited, and if they spent one, they would have one less. It was a great thing to be able to work in exchange for food!

Aunt Deng personally took the two people over and asked someone to monitor them as well - although she said "taking them over", in fact she was just monitoring them more.

After explaining this, Aunt Deng took Xu Yun to the warehouse.

When the people in the warehouse saw Aunt Deng, they were all respectful to her and asked her to check the accounts.

They looked at Xu Yun curiously, but didn't ask any questions. It was obvious that they all knew Xu Yun's background.

Aunt Deng counted the food and looked at the account again: "Not bad, not bad. This time we bought 400 kilograms more than last time. It's worth the trip."

Xu Yun followed beside him and also took a glance.

Then we discovered that the number counted by Aunt Deng and the number in the account book... were two hundred kilograms apart.

Taking another look at the accountant's natural expression, Xu Yun understood: Aunt Deng was illiterate, and... this was not the first time this had happened.

Xu Yun hesitated for a moment between the two options of keeping out of trouble and exposing the matter on the spot.
