"Uncle village chief, grandpa elder, my advice to everyone now is to dig wild vegetables. Collecting firewood is not the most important thing."

"The most important thing now is for everyone to prepare as much water and food as possible for our daily consumption."

"The bandits in Qingfeng Village don't know our specific situation yet, so they won't take any action for the time being."

"Now is the time when we can secretly send people to the town to replenish supplies. This is also the least likely time to attract attention."

"Also, although there is water in the mountains behind us, we don't have time to find water. If we go any deeper into the mountains, we will easily run into bandits from Qingfeng Village, which is very dangerous."

"To be on the safe side, I suggest you send someone to buy water directly from the town. Shilin Town doesn't lack water, so water won't be expensive."

Yun Yiyi paused for a moment and continued, "Uncle village head. Clan elders, don't be complacent. There won't be much time until the next time the bandits from Qingfeng Village come down the mountain to collect grain."

"So, we must be ready to go at any time."

"Of course, how to get there is also a problem. Uncle village chief, clan elders, I suggest that you go and walk among the nearby refugee groups tomorrow."

"If you go there, you might be able to find out some information. I guess if a young person goes there, they'll probably find out everything."

The village chief nodded, "Okay. Yiyi, I'll go out for a walk tomorrow."

The elder of the clan said, "Yiyi, we old guys should go for a walk outside tomorrow.

Yun Yiyi nodded, "Okay, but it's better if you two go together, so you can have a companion."

"I've been on the mountain before and have carefully observed other refugee groups. They are similar to us."

"Most of the young people either went out to pick wild vegetables or went to the town to inquire about the news."

"Those who stayed at home were all older people. They usually kept their mouths shut. It's useless for young people to go. They can't get any useful information."

The elder of the clan said in a serious tone, "Yiyi, let's go get some information. Can we tell others about the bandits that were found in Qingfeng Village today?"

"Elder, you can tell me anything about the bandits in Qingfeng Village. But when it comes to our own news, please be half true and half false."

The village chief smiled and said, "Yiyi is still smart."

"Okay, Uncle Village Chief, Grandpa Elder, that's all I have to say today. Please call a meeting of the villagers while it's still dark."

"It's best to arrange everything at night. Don't gather together during the day."

"Yiyi, are you worried that the bandits in Qingfeng Village will come down the mountain during the day?"

Yun Yiyi looked at the three elders and said, "Elders, everything is uncertain. We can only prepare for the worst."

The second elder sighed deeply, "It's all thanks to Yiyi for bringing us this news today. Otherwise, we wouldn't have known that the bandits in Qingfeng Village were so close to us."

"That's right. If the villagers who go up the mountain tomorrow encounter the bandits from Qingfeng Village, someone will die."

"Fortunately, we found out tonight and can remind everyone."

"But the bandits in Qingfeng Village are like a mountain. We can't climb over them no matter how hard we try."

Yun Yiyi comforted everyone, "Uncle village head, grandpa elder, there will always be a way out when we reach the mountain. Let's just take it one step at a time."

"Alas, this is all we can do." The village chief sighed.

"Uncle village chief, grandpa elder, I will go back now. You guys go ahead and get busy."

"Yiyi, good girl, let your dad take you back to bed. You've worked hard today."

"Yes, Yiyi, you should go and have a rest."

"Yiyi, if you are scared, ask your father to go to your uncle Wu and get some tranquilizers for you to drink."

Yun Yiyi was a little anxious when she heard about taking medicine. She had taken medicine for many days when she hurt her head before. Chinese medicine was too bitter, and she didn't want to take it again.

"Dad, let's go again. Come back for the meeting later."

Yun Yiyi said this and pulled Yun the Butcher back.

The village chief and several elders laughed when they saw this. Yiyi was still a child, a child who was unwilling to drink bitter medicine.

Yun Yiyi listened to their laughter and walked faster.

"Yiyi, how about your Uncle Wu get some medicine to calm you and Zirui? Otherwise you'll have nightmares at night."

Butcher Yun looked at Yun Yiyi with a worried expression.

"Dad, please give me some medicine to calm my nerves. I have always been very brave, but Brother Zirui is not as brave as I am."

Yun the butcher thought about it and it made sense, so he decided to get some medicine to calm the nerves.

"Yiyi, you go back first, I'll go get the medicine."

"Okay, Dad, it's just a few steps away, I'll go back by myself. I can already hear my eldest brother and the others talking."

"Okay, go back quickly and stop playing around."

"I got it, Dad." Yun Yiyi ran back home quickly like a little rabbit.

Only then did Yun the butcher turn around and go to the village doctor.

When Yun the butcher brought back the calming medicine, the whole family was chatting except Yun Yiyi, who was sleeping on her back.

"Wife, these are two doses of medicine I brought for calming nerves. Boil them for a while, and then let Yiyi and Zirui drink one bowl each."

Zhang was embarrassed. "But, Yiyi is already asleep. Do we need to wake her up to take medicine?"

"Wife, Yiyi and Zirui encountered bandits from Qingfeng Village on the mountain today, so they must take medicine."

Butcher Yun continued, "Don't worry, my wife. The bandits in Qingfeng Village didn't see them. They hid themselves."

"Yiyi and Zirui encountered a few bandits who came down the mountain to gather information. When Yiyi heard their voices, she hid with Zirui."

"That's good. I was really scared just now." Zhang patted her chest and said.

"It's not just you. I was also shocked when I heard it from the village chief."

"Luckily the kids are okay."

"Okay, wife, go and make the medicine. I'm going to a meeting with the village chief."

"Then go quickly. Brother Wu from next door just called you."

"I'll go now. By the way, wife, are all the chestnuts ready?"

"It's almost done. I'll ask the eldest brother to find a mat to wash. Let's put the crushed chestnuts on the mat to dry."

"Okay, wife. Don't work too late. Go to bed when you feel tired. I'll do the remaining work when you come back."

"Okay. Boss."

Butcher Yun turned around and went to the village chief to hold a meeting with everyone.

Zhang boiled the medicine and poured out two bowls to let it cool.

When the medicine was no longer hot, she brought both bowls to the dining table.

"Mom, is anyone in our family sick and needs medicine? I feel that this medicine tastes very bitter when I look at it."

"This medicine is not bitter. Zirui, don't listen to your third brother's nonsense."
