Chapter 17 Direction
When no one was around, Yu Laoer gave the things to Xiao Wang and told her that Pan Yingying did not want the gold bracelet, but only chose the thinnest gold hairpin.

Xiao Wang didn't say anything, but she kept this kindness in her heart. She privately warned her two daughters to remember their aunt's kindness and help her with things within their ability.

Yu Laoer couldn't help but curl up his lips as he listened to his wife educating their daughter.

Although his wife is sometimes petty and talkative, she is indeed a good person. It is his blessing to marry her.

In the carriage, Zhao and Old Man Pan were catching up on their sleep, while Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng were sitting together in the front, whispering to each other.

"What should we do with those people following us?" Pan Yingying was a little worried. She couldn't stop them from following.

Yu Chaosheng deliberately nudged her with his elbow, "Why are you frowning? Just follow me. It's not a bad thing to follow me."

Pan Yingying pushed back, "I know what you're thinking, but can you guarantee that you can bring so many people here safely?"

The two of them bumped into each other and talked non-stop.

"I can't guarantee that, and they may not necessarily be willing to go to the northwest with us." Yu Chaosheng said nonchalantly, "If we want to go to the northwest, we can take them with us. You know the North is not peaceful."

His look made Pan Yingying so angry that she twisted his arm.

Yu Chaosheng hissed, "Aren't you sleepy? You're still so energetic!"

Pan Yingying rolled her eyes at him and said, "I just drank some Red Bull secretly, and I'm full of energy. I won't stop until I pinch you until your hands are blue."

Seeing that she was serious, Yu Chaosheng knew that his careless behavior just now had offended her, so he quickly begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, isn't that enough, Sister Pan, please forgive me for my mistakes."

Pan Yingying folded her arms and said, "You go squeeze into the carriage and take a nap. I'll drive."

How could Yu Chaosheng dare to do that? This woman drove even wilder than a car, and he didn't want to die young again.

"No, no, I'm not tired yet. When we get to Yulin County, I'll buy a car for my parents-in-law so that we can all relax and take turns lying down to rest." He was not a stingy person. If possible, it would be best to buy a horse-drawn carriage for the two elders so that they could live more comfortably on the road.

Pan Yingying had no objection to this. She could also buy some things in Yulin County.

The medicines bought in the mall are all modern ones, and there is no way to get them here. She has to buy some prepared medicines in case of emergency on the road.

……

……

When it was dark again, Yu Chaosheng found a canyon and finally decided to set up camp there.

They escaped at night, hurrying along the way. The bandits couldn't catch up with them for the time being, so it wouldn't be a problem for them to rest for a night.

It is now the end of summer and the weather is not cold, so there is no need to set up a tent for the time being. Pan Yingying asked Yu Chaosheng to move the iron pot from the ox cart and took out a bag of steamed buns.

Finally, I took three sausages and a handful of wild vegetables and went to the stream to wash them.

Yu Chaosheng had just finished setting up the stove when the village chief came over with a pipe and a hatchet on his waist. "Chaosheng, I'm busy."

"Uncle village chief, what's the matter?" Yu Chaosheng moved the iron pot to the simple stone stove without raising his head.

The village chief didn't mind and thought Yu Chaosheng was a good man who was willing to help his wife with kitchen chores.

"Uncle wants to ask, where are you going next and what are your plans?" The village chief glanced at the busy villagers of Taoyuan Village behind him and felt his scalp twitching in pain. If possible, he would like to give the position of village chief to Yu Chaosheng in front of him.

Yu Chaosheng thought that they had finally arrived, so he stood up and spoke frankly to the village chief. "We are going to Yaocheng." So, those who could follow would follow, and he would not force those who did not want to follow.

"Yaocheng?" The village chief was shocked. This is not a good place.

He continued to ask, "Why did you want to go to Yaocheng?"

Yu Chaosheng didn't intend to hide it from him and told him the truth directly, "Because it's so poor that even refugees are unwilling to go there."

What he didn't say was that the world is now in chaos and nowhere is safe, except that Yaocheng is slightly better.

The village chief walked away with a frown on his face. He had to think things over carefully. When he heard that Yu Chaosheng's destination was Yaocheng, he backed out. That place was too far away, and they had to cross the drought-stricken north. There was no guarantee that the group of people in their village would be able to get through safely.

As soon as he returned to the villagers, Yu Cheng and several young men surrounded him, "How is it? What did he say?"

The village chief shook his head and sighed, "They are going to Yaocheng."

Everyone suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Yu Cheng clenched his fist and said, "We are not going to Yaocheng."

Before they left, the old patriarch specifically told him to make sure that he and the Yu family survived. If they went to Yaocheng, no one knew how many people would be lost, and they might all die on the road. Then he would be the sinner of the Yu family.

"I thought so too. Yaocheng is too far away. It is better to go to Wu County. I heard that the county magistrate there is well governed. We should be able to live a stable life there." The village chief spoke after hesitating for a while. He guessed that Panjiaao and Wangjiacun should also be going to Wu County. Maybe they could meet them on the road and they could travel together.

Yu Cheng nodded and said, "Then we will go our separate ways from Chaosheng and the others tomorrow." After all, one is heading east and the other is heading west, which are two completely different directions.

The village chief hesitated, "So urgent?"

"Well, taking us with them will delay their journey." Yu Cheng said softly, looking in the direction of Yu Chaosheng and Pan Yingying with his eyes slightly narrowed.

I don't know what the young man and woman are talking about, but they look very happy.

Yu Cheng's eyes dimmed.

After his first wife died in childbirth, he thought about marrying Pan Yingying, just because he caught a glimpse of her at the temple fair in the town, and the girl's face was deeply engraved in his heart.

Unfortunately, the old patriarch refused to agree, saying that the girl was too powerful and he couldn't control her. In the end, he could only watch her marry a famous gangster in the area.

Noticing Yu Cheng's gaze, Yu Chaosheng suddenly turned around and met his eyes.

Yu Cheng had a blank expression on his face, and Yu Chaosheng curled his lips in disdain.

An old man at his age still covets Sister Pan, bah!
Don't think he didn't know. From his memory, he knew that many people in the village were saying that Yu Cheng wanted to marry the evil flower in Panjiaao, and he had quarreled with the old patriarch several times over this.

"What's wrong?" Pan Yingying was cutting sausages and was about to look in the direction he was looking, but Yu Chaosheng suddenly moved sideways to block her.

"Oh, I'm so hungry." He opened his mouth, "Quick! Put it in my mouth!"

Pan Yingying glared at him unhappily, picked up a piece of freshly cut sausage, blew on it twice, and threw it into his wide-open mouth, "Eat, eat, eat, you only know how to eat!"

Yu Chaosheng was so pleased that he shook his head, "Smells good!"
