Chapter 186: Kaoshan Village Arrives
"People in front, wait, please wait"
"Excuse me, is this Yunjia Village ahead? Brother Qinglin, Brother Qinglin,
Two people ran up from behind the advancing team. They passed Cuijiaao and Chujia Village behind them and headed straight for Yun Qinglin who was walking in front of Yunjia Village.
Yun Qinglin, who was driving, heard someone calling him, stopped the car, and looked back, "Brother Niu Er, Brother Liu, is that you?"
Niu Er and Liu Guiyou, the youngest son of the village chief Liu from Kaoshan Village, were running breathlessly and sweating profusely. "Qinglin, we finally caught up with you. Our village chief saw the mark you left at the fork in the road, so he led our villagers to chase you.
Yun Qinglin knew the mark. It was left by his eldest niece when he went to pick up the girl from Chujia Village. There was a word "Yun", a word "Chu" and a scissors written on a conspicuous tree at the fork in the road.
Just for guidance and for those they are familiar with to know that they have taken this path.
Niu Er took a short break, panting, and took out a water bag from his waist. After unscrewing the lid, he tilted his head back and drank a mouthful of water, then wiped his mouth and continued, "We settled down in the place where you rested before last night. The traces didn't look fresh, so we thought you had been gone for a day or two!
Who would have thought that just as we set out on the road a little after noon today, we saw a figure coming out of this fork in the road from a distance. Our village chief was afraid that it was a bandit or something, so he asked us all to hide in the grass. Later, from a distance, he didn't look like a bandit, so he asked the two of us to catch up and see what was going on.
When I saw the people behind your team, I didn't see Yunjia Village, and I felt a little disappointed. So I asked him about it, and then I found out that your Yunjia Village was in the front, so we quickly chased after them. "
At this time Niu Er and Jiu Guiyou also saw Yun Hai and Yun He getting out of the carriage, so they called out to Yun Hai and Yun He, "Doctor Yun, Village Chief Yun." Although they had never seen Yun He, they could guess that he was Yun Qinglin's father because he looked 70% similar to Yun Qinglin.
Yunhai saw them and asked, "It's the eldest nephew of the Niu family and the nephew of the Liu family! Are you villagers following behind? Then tell your village chief to follow behind and we will go together. With more people, we can take care of each other."
Liu Guiyou smiled and said, "Doctor Yun, it's great that Village Chief Yun can catch up with your village. My father even said that he wanted to thank you for letting Qinglin deliver a letter to our village? It gave us time to prepare."
"Nephew of the Liu family, tell Village Chief Liu not to be polite. We are all acquaintances. If you encounter such a thing and know about it, you will help if you can." Yun Hai said in a deep voice.
"Go back and tell your village, let's hurry up and get going! Tell your father that we can talk during our break."
Therefore, another village was built behind the group migrating southwards.
This little episode didn't delay us for long, and we continued on our journey.
At the sound of a gong in the evening, the people of Yunjia Village, Chujia Village and the individual households who had already formed a regular routine stopped and started to busy themselves with cooking, feeding the animals and setting up tents.
Cuijiaao also followed the example of the other two villages and, under the arrangement of Village Chief Cui and Grandma Cui, proceeded in an orderly manner.
Led by Granny Liu and a grandmother named Hu, the women around her also reached a temporary consensus. The fifty-four women formed a temporary village.
When they came out, they were also assigned three unicycles with a large pot, two buckets, and several wooden basins. They took turns pushing them, covered with oilcloth, and when they arrived at the resting place, they divided the work and cooperated with each other, some cooking, some collecting firewood, some fetching water, and some digging wild vegetables. The two mothers-in-law arranged everything in an orderly manner.
After the meal, they used the wheelbarrow as a barrier, spread the oilcloth on the ground, put the luggage they brought with them on the ground and slept on it.
Some of these women are farm girls who are used to doing farm work and usually have to do housework at home, so they are not unfamiliar with this kind of division of labor and cooperation.
There are also concubines from wealthy families who have never been involved in Yangcun water, but at this moment they have to obey the arrangements of their two mothers-in-law in order to survive.
Although they were physically tired, they were mentally relaxed because they had finally left that terrible bandit den and could start a new life.
Granny Liu and Granny Hu are older and more experienced, worthy of being the managing grannys in the mansion, and they arrange these women in an orderly manner.
They were responsible for directing everyone's actions and making sure everything went on in an orderly manner. Two of them disobeyed the assignment and twisted their waists to flirt with the men in the village. Granny Liu saw them and wanted to kick them out of the team. They were so scared that they had to behave themselves. Fearing being kicked out, they worked hard to complete their assigned tasks.
In Kaoshan Village, Village Chief Liu came over to find Yunhe, Village Chief Chu, and Village Chief Cui. They gathered together to discuss the matter of several villages moving south together.
After some discussion, several villages reached a verbal agreement: due to the large number of people, they decided to manage the villagers in their own villages as units.
This makes management easier and increases the speed of tube travel.
In addition, the night guard work will also be the responsibility of each village. After all, each village knows its own situation best and can make the most appropriate arrangements according to actual needs.
Hearing this news, Village Chief Cui said with some concern: "Our village has a relatively small population. Thanks to everyone's help, we will follow Yunjia Village in the future. Our village will follow the unified arrangements of Village Chief Yun."
Several villages reached a consensus. The villagers who had relatives in several villages were the happiest that Kaoshan Village could catch up. Some of them were so happy that they cried, and some young wives even cried when they saw their natal family.
Yunhe patted Village Chief Cui on the shoulder and said, "Brother Cui, don't worry, we are all in this together, and I won't abandon you."
Village Chief Chu also quickly agreed: "That's right, if we support each other on the way south, we will definitely reach our destination smoothly."
Yun Duo took out a telescope, sat on a big tree and observed the situation in each village. In the village behind the team, Yun Duo saw Mrs. Zhang and her family.
Yun Duo thought to herself that it would be better for this family to follow behind obediently. If they caused any trouble again, they could not blame her for being rude.
