The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble

Chapter 378 Discussing Stay or Go

"I was thinking that in this land temple, we have a house that can shelter us from the wind and snow, and there is also a well in the yard."

"There is still a lot of firewood to be collected outside the land temple. In addition, we have dug up a lot of wild vegetables outside Shilin Town before, and we have also prepared a lot of supplies."

"So, instead of going on this journey with all our heart and soul, we should wait until spring comes and flowers bloom before we set off again."

Butcher Yun was stunned when he heard what Old Man Wu said. "Brother Wu, why do you have such an idea?"

Old Man Wu scratched his head. "It's because I saw it snowing and this place is nice, so I came up with this idea."

"Of course, it's also because of the children at home. The children also suffer when traveling on snowy days."

Butcher Yun was silent for a moment, "Brother Wu is right. Traveling in cold weather will easily cause children to get sick and suffer."

"But I don't want to stay here and wait until after the Chinese New Year and spring to travel again. It takes too long and there are too many variables."

"Besides, I'll be worried until I get to Yunzhou. I feel that I'll be safe only when I get to Yunzhou."

"Of course, Brother Wu, I also understand that you want to stay, mostly for the sake of the children."

"But instead of being nervous here, I think we should give it a try."

At some point, Yun Yiyi came over and said, "Dad, Grandpa Wu, I think my dad's idea is more reliable."

"Why do you say that, Yiyi?" Old Man Wu asked in a low voice.

"Grandpa Wu, Dad, we fled because of the drought. Another reason is to avoid conscription."

After hearing what Yun Yiyi said, Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on their heads. They were immediately chilled to the bone.

Seeing that they had also thought of this, Yun Yiyi continued, "Dad, Grandpa Wu, think about it, there must be a village around this land temple."

"If we stay here, we will definitely be discovered. Although there is no drought in this place, we cannot guarantee that the local government will not recruit soldiers."

"We are in a place where we are unfamiliar with the surroundings. If there is a conscription, the locals will probably identify us first."

"For the government, it doesn't matter where the soldiers are from, as long as they can be recruited."

"For those of us in our village, if we really encounter conscription, we won't be able to resist. So you can imagine the result."

Hearing this, Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu looked at each other and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads at the same time.

They believed what Yun Yiyi said.

People are despised when they leave their hometown, especially when it involves their own family, so they will definitely sacrifice others to protect themselves.

This is the way things are in this day and age, and we cannot make too high moral demands on others.

To put it another way, if they were locals, they might have chosen the same approach.

It's not that we have to do this, but if we don't, we won't be able to survive.

"Yiyi, go on, what else do you think?"

"Yes, Yiyi, Grandpa Wu thinks what you said makes a lot of sense. Go on and tell me what you think."

Yun Yiyi continued, "Dad, Grandpa Wu, there was a reason why we chose Yunzhou as our final destination for escaping the famine."

"The first reason is that the people in Yunzhou, where the eldest prince lives, are simple and honest, and suitable for us to live in. Of course, to put it bluntly, it's because the eldest prince loves and cares for his people."

"The second reason is that the Xie family army led by the eldest prince is brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly blocked the invasion of enemy soldiers."

Butcher Yun and Old Man Wu opened their eyes wide. Yes, how could they have forgotten this.

"For now, Xie's army is only in Yunzhou, so we have to rush to Yunzhou as soon as possible. That's the safe place."

"Yiyi, that's what you say, but where the Xie family army is, doesn't that also represent war?"

"When we went to Yunzhou, weren't we also swept up in it?"

Yun Yiyi shook her head. "Dad, Grandpa Wu, I have asked other refugees. Yunzhou is a little different from other places."

"What's the difference?" Yun the Butcher asked anxiously.

"Dad, Grandpa Wu, Yunzhou does not enforce conscription. People in Yunzhou all join the army voluntarily, and after joining the army, their families will also be taken care of by the government."

"Yiyi, is this true or false? Yunzhou doesn't enforce conscription?"

After asking this question, Old Man Wu stared at Yun Yiyi and answered.

Butcher Yun was also staring at Yun Yiyi.

"Uncle Yun, Grandpa Wu, what Yiyi said is true. Yunzhou will not force conscription. Because the Xie family army will only conscript soldiers when there are large-scale casualties."

"And everyone really joined the army voluntarily. Yiyi didn't lie to you."

"Zi Rui, how do you know so much?"

Yun Yiyi also turned to look at Xie Zirui.

Xie Zirui remained calm, "Uncle Yun, Grandpa Wu, my husband is in Yunzhou, I heard him talk about this."

"Moreover, the Xie family army has strict military law and will never bully the people. Even if the enemy comes, they will stop the enemy and let the people leave first."

Yun the butcher was surprised. "It turns out that Yunzhou is really a good place. Mr. Li Xiucai is right."

"After hearing what Yiyi and Zirui said, it would be better for us to rush to Yunzhou as soon as possible."

Xie Zirui straightened his face and said, "Uncle Yun, Grandpa Wu, what Yiyi said makes sense. We really can't stay here."

"Because the Xie family army is stationed in Yunzhou, we are safe even if the enemy attacks.

"But if we encounter the enemy outside Yunzhou, we might just become cannon fodder."

"The government officials don't care about our lives. So, we not only have to get to Yunzhou, but we have to get there as quickly as possible."

"As far as I know, the enemy country will attack every winter. The location may be uncertain, but we usually lose more than we win."

"Although the Xie family army has its share of wins and losses, Yunzhou has always been stable and it is considered a very safe place."

Hearing this, Yun the Butcher's eyes lit up, "Great, now that we have arrived in Yunzhou, we can finally live a stable life."

"Yes, it's so hard to find a place to live a stable life now. We have traveled to so many places while escaping famine, but we have never come across a place like Yunzhou that makes us yearn for it."

After Old Man Wu finished speaking, he sighed deeply.

Butcher Yun glanced at Old Man Wu and said nothing. He knew that Old Man Wu was thinking of his unlucky youngest son.

Yun Yiyi looked at Old Man Wu’s sad face and understood that he was thinking about something sad.

So she spoke up and interrupted everyone's thoughts.
