"That's great, Brother Yun. You are really thoughtful." Li Xiucai said.

"Then let's rest here. I just looked outside and most of the refugees in the square are not sleeping. I guess we have to wait for a while." Hunter Zhang also said.

"When Yiyi and I just arrived at the city gate, the people sent by the rich families in the city to distribute porridge were about to return to the city. I heard the refugees in the square outside the city talking about how the porridge distributed by several rich families today was too clear and had too little food in it. Many refugees were loudly cursing the rich families in the city, saying that the rich families even bullied the refugees. Some refugees also complained that the porridge distributed was getting less and less, and many refugees didn't get any.

The refugees cursed too loudly and were heard by the soldiers. They beat up the refugees who led the riot and the refugees slowly dispersed. I feel that if this continues, the city gate will not be safe for too long. Before you two came, the soldier Xiaobai came secretly and told us to wait until it was completely dark before going out. By then, with the moonlight, we can see the road clearly without torches. He asked me to find someone to tell the village chief to bring more people over and surround the car. Otherwise, it will be easy for the refugees to rob it. "said Yun the butcher.

"I just saw Yun Hai coming back, and asked him to run again to tell the village chief about the matter at the city gate." Yun the butcher said in a low voice. Fortunately, there was no one at the city gate at this time, so it was okay to speak in a low voice.

"Brother Yun, is the situation so serious now? I was thinking that if there was more grain in the porridge, the people in our Yunjia Village could save their own grain after receiving the porridge." Hunter Zhang approached Butcher Yun and asked in a low voice.

"I didn't expect things to be so serious. I guess it's the refugees who arrived much earlier than us. They came earlier and have been receiving porridge the longest, so they are most aware of the changes in the porridge. They used to be able to barely survive with this porridge. Now, not only is the quantity of this porridge smaller, but the porridge is also getting clearer, and more and more refugees are gathering. Everyone is afraid that they won't be able to get porridge and will starve to death. So, there's a commotion today." Yun the butcher asked Li Xiucai to come closer and spoke in a low voice.

"What Brother Yun said makes sense. In the past, there were few refugees, and the porridge provided by the rich families was thicker. It was impossible for the refugees to eat their fill, but they could survive. Now, with more refugees, the porridge provided by the rich families has changed so much that everyone is panicking and afraid of starving to death. They are probably making trouble today in order to get the rich families to increase the amount of porridge provided and make the porridge as thick as before.

However, we have been in the city for a day today, and we all know the situation in the city. I estimate that tomorrow will be similar to today, and there will not be much change. "Li Xiucai continued to analyze.

"Yes, the food and water in the city are fixed, and are definitely not enough to feed the refugees outside the city." said Zhang the Hunter.

"Dad, the city gate won't be peaceful for long. We must leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning. The farther away, the safer. Dad, when we go back in the evening and wait until the refugees are asleep, ask the village chief to distribute the things we purchased today to everyone." Yun Yiyi said.

"Okay, Yiyi, don't worry. I will tell the village chief secretly after we leave the city." Yun the Butcher said, touching Yun Yiyi's head.

“Tell everyone not to make any noise and not to cause any commotion. Be sure not to attract the attention of the refugees in the square outside the city. The village chief must secretly emphasize this matter to the villagers,” Li Xiucai added.

"Yes, when we leave the city, the refugees will see that our car is full of things. Even if they can't see clearly what is in it, I estimate that there will be many refugees who will have ideas about us," said Zhang the Hunter.

"As long as they don't take action tonight, we will set out early tomorrow morning before dawn. Don't eat breakfast until we are far away from here. This way, when the refugees in the square wake up tomorrow morning, they won't be able to find us." said Yun the Butcher.

"Yes, I guess no one would have thought that we would leave early tomorrow morning," said Li Xiucai.

"Let's go to bed early tonight and get up late to divide the things." said Zhang the hunter.

"Uncle Li, do you know where we should go if we leave? If you know the route, I suggest that we set off as soon as the village chief distributes things. There is the moon now, and we can see the road clearly. When we are far away from here, the sky will be bright and the temperature will rise, so we can eat and rest. I always feel that it is too dangerous to stay here." Yun Yiyi looked at Li Xiucai and asked.

"I have the route map. My teacher gave me a copy when he left. However, if we leave tonight, we won't be able to rest well tonight. However, I think what Yiyi said makes sense. Brother Zhang, Brother Yun, what do you two think of Yiyi's proposal?" Li Xiucai looked at Yun the Butcher and Zhang the Hunter, waiting for their answer.

"Okay, I think what Yiyi said is feasible. If we divide things in the middle of the night, even if the noise is small, it will be noticed by someone with ulterior motives. It's better for us to leave directly after dividing. Besides, I guess they only dare to monitor us from a distance, as for what we have divided, they can't see clearly." Zhang the hunter said after thinking for a while.

"I thought about it and found Yiyi's method is feasible. When it's late at night and everyone is asleep, most people are sleepy. After all, there are only a few people who can monitor us. Let's talk about the worst-case scenario. If the people who monitor us find out that we have left, even if they catch up with us, there are not many of them, and the people in our Yunjia Village are also capable of resisting.

However, we left too late, and I am afraid that someone will dare to rob us tomorrow. The number of soldiers at the city gate is limited, and they cannot suppress too many refugees. Now the refugees still have hope, so they are afraid of the soldiers. If there is really no hope, these soldiers at the city gate will not be the opponents of the refugees. "Yun the butcher also explained to everyone in detail.

"Yes, that's the truth." Li Xiucai and Zhang the Hunter both agreed with what Yun the Butcher said.

"You guys wait here for a moment. I'll go ask soldier Xiaobai how long it will take us to get out. By the way, I'll also ask if the village chief has brought people here. You guys help me keep an eye on Yiyi and the donkey cart." Yun the butcher instructed.

"You go ahead, Brother Yun. Brother Zhang and I will take good care of Yiyi and the donkey cart." said Li Xiucai.

"Okay, then I'll go over first. Yiyi, don't be naughty. Listen to your Uncle Li and Uncle Zhang. Dad will be back soon." Butcher Yun touched Yun Yiyi's head and instructed.

"I understand, Dad. I will be obedient. You can go and ask around." Yun Yiyi said seriously to Yun the Butcher with a stern face.

"Haha, look at your little face, it's almost wrinkled into a bitter gourd. Daddy's little Yiyi is the most sensible, and daddy definitely believes in you." Yun the Butcher said with a smile.
