These days they kept walking with their eyes open, for fear of being left behind, and they dared not stop for a moment.

Now that he has a carriage to ride in, he will never walk again.

The mother and son of the Yao family could not even carry anything on their shoulders or lift anything with their hands. They were simply a burden.

Huang Chengwen's words immediately received support from Ge.

"Chengwen is right, Master. Let's leave some money and food for Yao and the others. I will send someone to pick them up soon."

In the evening, Huang Guichang talked to Yao alone.

When Yao heard that she and her children were abandoned, her heart instantly turned cold and tears immediately flowed down her face. She didn't say a word, but covered her face with a handkerchief and cried.

The road ahead was uncertain. Huang Guichang looked at the woman who had been with him for more than ten years, gritted his teeth and left some more gold, silver and food for her.

It was late at night, the moonlight was dim, and the shadows of the trees were swaying slightly in the cool breeze.

They were leaving tomorrow, so Huang Yinyin took Yun Mo to a remote forest.

Yun Mo leaned against a tree and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

His indifferent and distant look deeply hurt Huang Yinyin's heart.

Taking a deep breath, "I...I'm leaving tomorrow. Do you have anything to say to me?"

Yun Mo raised an eyebrow, not understanding what she meant, and then said, "Have a safe trip."

Huang Yinyin's hands trembled, and she could not hide the disappointment in her eyes. She finally mustered up the courage to say, "My aunt was interested in me, and our two families wanted to get married..."

She raised her eyes and looked seriously at the imposing man in front of her, wanting to engrave him deeply in her heart.

Ever since her mother mentioned to her that Yunmu intended to marry her as Yun Mo's wife, she had often fantasized about becoming his real wife.

Knowing that her father wanted to deal with him, she was willing to sacrifice her own innocence and wanted to have sex with him.

"It's just a joke between elders, Miss Huang, don't take it seriously."

Yun Mo was still calm and composed, but there was a hint of impatience between his brows. He did not have much impression of the woman in front of him.

"You think so?" She looked at him timidly, her eyes pleading.

Yun Mo, "I have no interest in you, girl."

Huang Yinyin's deep affection was ultimately misplaced. She seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking. Her nose felt sore, and she covered her face with her hands and turned away.

After the people walked away, Yun Mo looked up at the person lying on the tree.

Their eyes met, and he met a pair of dark eyes without a trace of emotion.

There was a trace of panic in Yun Mo's eyes, and his heart felt like it was pricked by a needle.

He looked calm, "What a refined taste, young lady!"

Lin Yinan didn't see anything unusual on his face, so he looked away, his voice without any fluctuation, "Young Master is so heartless."

"If it's a girl, I will treat you sincerely." A ripple appeared on Yun Mo's lips.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. I cannot afford it."

The two of them just chatted one after another.

"Girls always seem to like climbing trees?"

"Is there a law that forbids women from climbing trees?"

"That's not true."

A cool breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and Lin Yinan felt a little cool.

Yun Mo opened his mouth and was about to speak when Lin Yinan jumped in front of him from the tree.

"It's getting late. I'll go first."

Watching her figure disappear outside the woods, Yun Mo tiptoed up and flew up, lying on the position where Lin Yinan had just been, with his hands behind his head and slowly closing his eyes.

It took him a long time to open his eyes. This is what it felt like.

Before dawn, Huang Guichang drove two carriages towards Qingdao County, followed by a dozen servants. They did not want to be left behind and followed even if they had to walk.

The only ones left behind were the nanny who came with Yao as a dowry, the maid who grew up with Huang Qingqing, and Yao's mother and four children, a total of six people in the group, all women and children.

When the villagers of Linjia Village learned that Huang Guichang had abandoned his concubine and children and left overnight, they all looked at Yao with sympathy.

After breakfast, the team continued on their journey. They were not far from Gudao County.

Yun Yi glanced at the team of more than 300 people from Linjia Village behind him, and then looked at Yun Mo, who had dark eyes beside him. Last night, his master left with Miss Huang and did not come back until midnight.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Yun Mo raised his hand and touched his face unconsciously.

Yun Yi quickly looked away, his eyes unpredictable. "No." He then changed the subject and continued, "Master, how do we resettle the people of Linjia Village? Are they trustworthy?"

"Believable."

"Since it is credible, let's arrange it in that valley. What do you think?"

Yun Mo was very satisfied with his arrangement. "That's great. After all, there are many people on my brother-in-law's farm. How much food is stored?"

"The food that Mr. Luo's family helped to raise can last for three months. With the food purchased from Izumo this time, it will be no problem to last for four months."

"Yesterday I showed you that the sweet potatoes we dug up on the road were edible. When we get back, ask your brothers to look for them in the nearby mountains and try to dig up more before the mountains are closed by heavy snow."

"Okay, I'll arrange it when I get back."

Yun Mo raised his head and looked at the towering mountains around him. "I heard that the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain are very rampant?"

Yun Yi's eyes suddenly widened, "Are we going to fight the bandits?"

"The bandit's den should have a lot of food. I'm going to destroy the bandit's den in Qingfeng Mountain. Go back and get ready."

Yun Yi rubbed his hands together, eager to set off immediately, "Brothers have been ready for a long time. After a few months of idleness, we finally have something to do. Will you lead the team this time?"

Yun Mo turned around and looked at Yun Ye, who was supporting his wife in the cart, and said, "I'm with my second brother."

They only met briefly yesterday, and Yun Yi didn't know that Yun Ye's leg injury had healed.

"Second Young Master's leg injury has healed?"

"Okay, it's alright now."

Speaking of his second brother's injury, Yun Mo couldn't help but think of that cold little girl. He never thought she had such ability.

"It's really God's blessing!" Yun Yi couldn't help but sigh.

Yun Mo asked about Gudao City again, "Can Gudao County find a way to get in?"

Yun Yi whispered, "Mr. Luo's family spent a lot of money to get a few blank travel passes."

"Don't make it public. Just show me the way. I can be of use to you."

Led by Yun Yi and others, the team turned into a sparsely populated mountain road with rolling mountains on both sides.

After the team passed by, several Yun family secret guards used branches to clean up the traces of everyone's passage.

Lin Yinan was confused. She quietly pulled Lin Yiheng's sleeve and said, "Brother, I don't think this is the road to Gudao County. Where is the Yun family taking us?"

Lin Yiheng gave her a reassuring look, "This morning the Yun family told the village chief that we are going to a valley outside of Gudao County. We can't get into the county town, so the Yun family is stationed there."

Lin Yinan immediately understood that in these troubled times, the Yun family's well-trained team was definitely a big piece of fat meat.

After walking for nearly two hours, just when everyone was almost unable to walk anymore, they finally arrived at a valley surrounded by mountains.

The valley was flat, and rows of simple tents had been set up on the side facing the mountain. In the distance, many men were training with their bare chests.
