Chapter 138: "This Is My Choice!" Yan Lao'er had no time to explain why he suddenly lay on the ground to listen for movement. He rushed over anxiously, grabbed Old Yan's hand, and said urgently, "Big Brother, I hear hoofbeats—a lot of them! It sounds like they're coming straight for us!" The village elders were shocked, hardly daring to believe it. At the same time, they all turned to look at the scholar. A cold glint flashed across Yan Huaiwen's eyes.

- Chapter 139: Strength in Numbers These people were very different from mountain bandits. Mountain bandits would flee when the situation turned unfavorable. These people, however, were well-trained, coordinated, and quickly drew their blades to defend while launching an effective counterattack. Their reactions were incredibly fast—even with the rapid speed of the bamboo crossbows, they still managed to shield their vital areas completely. Unlike mountain bandits, whose emotions were written…

- Chapter 131: Food, Shelter, and Travel Yan Lao’er was feeling a bit panicked. “Dabao! What should we do?! I never really trusted your Uncle Cui’s medical skills. I thought if we were careful enough, had good remedies, and took care of things ourselves, we’d be fine. Once we reach Guanzhou, I was planning to find a few experienced midwives, keep them well-fed and housed at our place while waiting. But now that you’ve said this, I’m feeling uneasy! Your mother has become picky with…

- Chapter 132: Loading the Cart “Hahaha! Dad! Eldest Uncle is the head of our family. Isn’t it normal to gauge his thoughts? If he’s an open-minded person, we can relax a bit. If not, we just need to be more restrained. So, Dad! We still need to make more money. In the future, we’ll buy a big house, and even if we live under the same roof, we can stay far apart.” “Don’t worry, daughter, I’ll work hard!” Yan Lao’er was full of fighting spirit, eager to head to Guanzhou and make his…

- Chapter 133: A Good Meal Li Xuemei felt sorry for him running around so much and said, “Then stack a few more bundles and block off all the gaps at the front.” Yan Lao’er immediately got to work. He called over Sanbao and had them fill two buckets about seven or eight-tenths full. Then, he pulled down two blankets and spread them out. “What are you doing?” Li Xuemei was puzzled. “We grown men don’t need such a soft bed. I’m setting it up for you.” Li Xuemei’s heart…

- Chapter 134: Beyond the Mountains Yan Huaiwen adjusted the bundle wall blocking the front of the cart. It was tightly secured by Tian You. He called over Yan Xiangheng and asked, "How is your driving practice coming along?" Yan Xiangheng answered honestly, "Not bad. Driving an ox cart isn’t too difficult." "In that case, help your second uncle more so he doesn't have to work too hard." Yan Xiangheng hesitated. "Father, I don’t know the way. I’ll still need Second Uncle to guide…

- Chapter 135: Dysentery Yan Yu was feeling helpless. Her father used a cat to find prey, and every time, he succeeded. But when it was her turn, while she did manage to find something, the rabbit she found was—dead. There were no external wounds. Had it died from the heat? Or from thirst? She couldn't determine the cause. After burying it properly, everyone who had touched the rabbit washed their hands one by one. On the last day of their trip into the mountains, the Young Scouts had no…

- Chapter 129: Preparation (Double Chapter) Liang Fengnian listened intently. He told her, “My father always said that when facing evildoers, the best thing to do is to avoid them whenever possible. If escape is impossible, then self-preservation comes first.” Yan Yu shook her head. “Isn’t that too dangerous? You might escape once, but what about the next time? What if you really run into trouble—are you going to rely on the bad guys to suddenly grow a conscience?” Liang Fengnian…
