The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble
Chapter 62: A Fork in the Road
"Everyone, hurry up, line up, and follow the team forward. Also, take good care of your children and don't make any crying noises. Remember, don't make any loud noises. We have to leave quietly so as not to attract the attention of the refugees in the square." The village chief walked from the front of the team to the back, whispering instructions to each family.
The village chief had already talked about this issue at the previous meeting. So, apart from the village chief's voice, the only sounds in the team were the footsteps of people walking and the sound of wheels rolling on the ground. The children in each household had been told by their parents in advance, so there was no crying sound at this time. Everyone in Yunjia Village tried their best to follow the team and not fall behind.
The moon tonight is very bright, just enough to illuminate the way forward. However, the potholes on the road are hard to see. You can only feel it when you step on it. At this moment, there are no refugees on the official road. The village chief asked everyone to walk in the middle of the official road. The road in the middle is flatter.
The village chief soon came to the end of the team.
"Butcher Yun, your family is at the end. If any refugees catch up with us, you can arrange for the young man behind you to go to the front of the team to notify me. Also, these twenty or so young men behind us will be under your command for the time being. What do you think?" asked the village chief.
"No problem, village chief. My family is walking at the end, and we are the last ones to follow. Don't worry, once we find any refugees following us, I will arrange for a young man to go to the front of the team to inform you." said Yun the Butcher.
"Young men from Yunjia Village, you will follow behind the team tonight and be responsible for observing the movements of the refugees. In addition, you will be temporarily under the management of Yun the Butcher tonight. Does anyone have any objections?" the village chief asked in a low voice.
"Village Chief, we have no objection."
"Village Chief, don't worry, we will all listen to Uncle Yun."
"Yes, village chief, we will definitely be able to complete the task."
A few impatient young men answered.
"Okay, I believe you. Don't worry, once the refugees come up to steal food, everyone in our Yunjia Village will come to help and will not let you resist the refugees alone." The village chief assured.
"Even if refugees come to steal food, you must protect yourself and try not to get hurt. Everyone in our Yunjia Village is very important." The village chief continued to instruct.
"Okay, we understand, Village Chief."
"Don't worry, village chief."
Seeing that the young men had heard it clearly, the village chief turned to look at Yun Yiyi.
"Yiyi, if refugees come to steal food, don't rush up alone. We know you are good at kung fu, but it will be dangerous if you are surrounded by refugees. You must stay with everyone. Okay?" asked the village chief.
"I understand, Uncle Village Chief. Don't worry. I will definitely fight the refugees with everyone." Yun Yiyi replied, holding up a stick.
"Yun the Butcher, please take care of the back of the team. I'm going to the front to lead the way." said the village chief.
"Okay, village chief." said Yun the Butcher.
After the village chief finished speaking, he quickly walked to the front of the team.
The people of Yunjia Village lined up and quickly moved away from the city gate and came to the official road.
Yun the butcher looked behind him and saw a group of refugees far behind him. It was too far away to see how many people there were. At this time, he could only speed up and try to leave the refugees behind as soon as possible.
Yun the butcher and his companions walked about a mile on the official road, and there were two intersections ahead. One intersection continued forward, and the next intersection led to the south. The village chief was not sure whether to go to the south intersection, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to stop for a while. He also waved to Li Xiucai.
"Li Xiucai, take a look at the route map. Should we take the intersection in the south?" The village chief asked Li Xiucai who had just arrived.
Li Xiucai took out the route map drawn by his teacher and read it under the moonlight. The words on the route map were not clear, but the route drawn with a brush could be seen clearly. Li Xiucai read it carefully twice and put the route map away.
"Village chief, it's the intersection heading south. The route map drawn by my teacher shows that the intersection on the south side is the road to leave the city and go to the next state. The road that goes straight forward can allow us to enter the city from another city gate, or we can continue forward and leave the city. However, that road goes to the north of the city, and the direction of advance is exactly opposite to ours." Li Xiucai said affirmatively.
"Okay, as long as we make sure we're not going the wrong way. Speaking of which, we'll have to rely on the route map your teacher gave us in the future." The village chief sighed.
"Village chief, don't worry. My teacher has given us a complete route map. We can definitely get to where we want to go." said Li Xiucai.
"Okay, let's move on." After the village chief said this, he waved his hand and asked everyone to move on.
Yun Yiyi had just stopped following the team, but now she continued to follow the team. She was very puzzled as to why the team suddenly stopped. She turned to look at Yun the Butcher.
"Dad, why did the team suddenly stop just now?"
"There must have been a fork in the road just now, and the village chief was not sure which way to go, so he stopped." Yun the Butcher replied.
"Dad, how did the village chief decide which intersection to take so quickly?"
"It must be that Li Xiucai made the decision after looking at the route map drawn by his teacher. Among the people in our village, including the village chief, only Li Xiucai has followed his teacher to the provincial capital. So, it is normal that the village chief is not sure which intersection to take." Yun the Butcher explained.
"Dad, don't we have a map here? We can find the route we want to take on the map." Yun Yiyi asked again.
"There are few literate people in our village, so even if we have a map, no one can understand it. What's more, only the government has simple maps, and they are not complete. The rest is that the major trading companies have their own maps. They will mark the places that the trading companies often go to on the maps, so that even if the trading company changes a group of people to purchase goods, they will not go the wrong way. However, the trading company's maps are also incomplete." said Yun the butcher.
"So that's what's going on. I understand, Dad. When I grow up, I will definitely visit many places and try to draw a detailed map." Yun Yiyi said.
"Haha, Yiyi. Your idea is great. However, it's not easy to realize it." Yun the Butcher said with a smile.
"Yes, Yiyi, even if you just sit in a carriage on the road, your butt will be very painful." Zhang also said.
"Mom, things will get better and better for us in the future, and I believe that one day, the travel between the two places will become more and more convenient." Yun Yiyi had experienced the developed transportation and popularization of information before the end of the world, so she was still not used to such backward transportation and lack of information.
