The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Since we know that the leader of Yunmuzhai is Uncle Yun, this matter will be easy to handle. This is their territory and should be very safe.

"Okay! Why don't you come to the mountain stronghold and have a rest? Uncle Yun is ashamed. In this famine year, the people are starving. We occasionally go into the mountains to hunt, but the vegetation here is withered, and the pheasants and rabbits have long been hunted. I wanted to buy some wolf meat from you to satisfy my craving."

After Yunhuo finished speaking, he lowered his head guiltily.

"It's okay, Uncle Yun. We do have wolf meat. Although the quantity is small, we can sell it to the brothers in Yunmu Village."

"Really? That's great! Brothers, we haven't eaten meat for a long time. Let's go back to the village first."

Yun Huo was wondering what team could kill fifty or sixty wolves in one fell swoop. But when he saw Mu Yibai in the team, he no longer had any doubts. He had watched this kid grow up, and he had great skills. It was a pity that God was jealous of his talent, and he could only be confined to a wheelchair from now on!

"Uncle Yun, don't bother any more. We are an exile team and must arrive in Saibei on time. We can just find a cool place to rest in front and we won't go to the mountain stronghold."

"What are you..."

"Alas! It's really hard for you! Are Madam Mu and Madam Mu okay?"

Yunhuo finally realized that the dog emperor not only falsely accused General Mu of treason, but also exiled all the family members of the Mu family. How could they bear it in such hot weather? "

"Uncle Yun, let's talk as we walk. Grandmother, mother, and everyone in the family is fine. I got married when I was in the capital. I married a virtuous wife. Her name is Fu Yunxi."

Having said that, Mu Yibai's eyes revealed endless tenderness, and he gently extended his hand to Fu Yunxi.

"Hello Uncle Yun, I am Fu Yunxi, Yibai's wife."

Fu Yunxi gently placed her hand on Mu Yibai's palm and nodded slightly to Yunhuo.

"Hello, hello! You are such a good wife with both good looks and temperament! If your father knew about this, he would be pleased."

As Yunhuo spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

How wonderful it would be if we were still living in a prosperous era with peace and prosperity, and if those things had never happened!

Zheng Chengyuan ordered everyone to rest in the shade for an hour, have lunch, and also give Mu Yibai and the others some time.

Anyway, this time we managed to escape without any danger, and the brothers from Yunmu Village can be considered our own.

"Deputy General Yun, how did you become the head of Yunmu Village?"

The people from the Mu family's main branch sat around Yunhuo. Jiang and Luo were very surprised to see Yunhuo.

"Madam, Madam, you have worked hard along the way. Now the border is no longer what it used to be. The army no longer needs me. In addition, I am injured, so I asked to retire. My parents are both dead, and I have no wife or children. I am alone. I wanted to make my way in the world, but in this famine, it is difficult to even fill my stomach."

"Before, Huo San and I passed by here on our way to the mountains to hunt, and happened to save the leader of Yunmu Village, so we became brothers. But he was in poor health, and after he passed away, he entrusted the dozens of brothers in the mountains to me."

"I see. This fate is truly wonderful! Is Xiao San also from the military camp?"

Jiang looked at Huo San and asked.

"Hello, old lady, Madam. I am a soldier of the third battalion of the Mu family army. I was an orphan and was begging on the streets of the border. It was General Mu who brought me into the barracks, taught me martial arts, took me to the battlefield, and made me an upright person. So I am very grateful to the general."

Huo San was very docile in front of Jiang and Luo. He had never had any elders and had never lived with his mother or grandmother.

Jiang had a good impression of Huo San, who was the same age as her grandchildren. Perhaps it was because he was brought up by her son and had the demeanor of a martial artist.

"By the way, Uncle Yun, you just said you wanted to buy our wolf jerky, right?" Mu Yibai talked about business. He hoped that Uncle Yun could take the brothers of Yunmuzhai to go to Saibei with him, or at least Uncle Yun could go with him. There was a reason for that.

"Alas! You know the current situation. There is famine everywhere and we can't buy food. Game in the mountains is hard to find. Yunmu Village's food reserves are very low. We have to resort to this desperate measure. Don't underestimate these brothers. The previous village chief also joined the army, but he was retired after being injured on the battlefield."

"My brothers are in similar situations, and there are also many orphans. They never rob, and they usually farm on their own, but the harvest has been poor in the past two years." Yun Huo introduced the situation of Yunmuzhai to Mu Yibai in one breath. It was not a rash decision for him to stay.

"Uncle Yun, I know you wouldn't do those things. We also saw many people fleeing famine on the road. Have you ever considered going to Saibei with us, or taking your brothers to live somewhere else? Although this mountain is strategically located and easy to defend but difficult to attack, the continuous hot weather has caused the sand on the cliff to become loose, and the surface temperature has risen sharply, which may cause accidents such as forest fires or even quicksand collapses."

What Mu Yibai said was not nonsense. After they passed by here in their previous life, a large-scale forest fire did break out and the entire mountain was engulfed in flames. He didn't know what their situation was in their previous life, but since he met Uncle Yun in this life, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

"Hey! To be honest, I have been discussing this with my brothers in Yunmu Village recently. There is not much material left here for us to live on, but everyone has feelings for this place and we can't think of a place to go for the time being, so we haven't set off yet."

Mu Yibai's words made Yunhuo more determined to move to another place to live. In the past, the brothers in Yunmu Village would work hard and rob the rich to help the poor, but now the farmers are not well fed and there are no more profiteers at the foot of the mountain. The world has changed, and it may be difficult for them to survive if they continue to be isolated. Moreover, Mu Yibai was right, there was indeed a risk of disasters here, and forest fires were no joke!

"Uncle Yun, you should discuss this with your brothers. Although going out to explore the world is risky, there may be a chance of a turnaround. You see, many people are fleeing famine. If we stay here, food will be the biggest problem for Yunmu Village."

Fu Yunxi also helped Mu Yibai to persuade Yunhuo. She knew that what Mu Yibai said would come true. In the book, they experienced a wildfire on their way to escape famine, but the author of the original book did not explain it clearly.

And as for Uncle Yun’s hidden illness, she thought, she should have a way to deal with it!
