Chapter 34: We’re All Night-Blind Yan Lao’er finally understood why Old Yan said traveling at night was difficult. He realized he was night-blind. In fact, their whole family, even the entire village, was. It was manageable at home, but out here, they were like a group of blind people with their eyes open, barely able to see the path directly under their feet. Everything around them was pitch black, with only the moonlight to guide them. It was impossible to see what lay ahead. A gust of wind would…- 446.1 K • Ongoing
Chapter 31: Trouble from the Guo Family "Uncle, I'm coming in." Getting a response, Yan Yu naturally pushed open the door. She saw her uncle busy packing clothes, drenched in sweat. "Uncle, let me help you." She ran over, took one look, then climbed up and started folding the long robes—left sleeve, right sleeve, stack them together. Yan Huaiwen: Full of wrinkles!

Chapter 28: Uniting the People "Unite the people!" Yan Yu exclaimed, her education wasn't for nothing; she had some real insights. "Think about it, Dad. In ancient times, families rarely split up. The elders made the decisions, and if Uncle treats them well, their families will surely treat us well too. Our family doesn't have anyone capable of hard labor, so we'll need the villagers' help to get by on the road. If any elder feels they're a burden and decides not to leave, the whole family might end up…- 446.1 K • Ongoing
Chapter 29: Yan Lao'er’s Skills Very soon, Yan Lao'er got another chance to go to town. The villagers were deeply moved by the Scholar’s actions and decided that each household would pitch in to see if they could buy another mule or two. The Scholar was right—these animals could both serve as transport and be eaten if necessary. They were like buying reserve grain.

Chapter 27: Old Yan Buys Livestock for the Village Village Chief Luo hadn't had a good night's sleep for the past few days. This wasn't just a matter for one or two families; it was a concern for the entire village. The ox cart in the Yan Family courtyard was no illusion. Yan Lao'er was making trips to town daily, bringing back loads of grain that everyone could see clearly. The more prepared Scholar Yan was, the more anxious the villagers became.
