Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 445 Can’t leave anymore

Sixteen noticed that Yunyi was quite calm at the moment. After waiting a while without her speaking, he tentatively asked, "Boss, you see, I've told you everything I know, and I really am protecting you. So, could you... do me a small favor?"

"Yes." Yunyi snapped out of her reverie, "Let Chen Rui live in my era. I can even give you a special privilege: she can choose whether to start from childhood or find an adult body to go directly there."

"I'll go ask right away." Sixteen disappeared in a flash. The sooner she was gone, the sooner he could grow up.

Yun Yi then stood up and patted her bottom: "Feng Yang, you and Yun Lu stay here, I'll go take a look."

"Miss, this..."

"I'll be careful," Yunyi said, and then stepped onto the pontoon bridge.

Because the river water was poisonous and there was a protective formation around it, the villagers didn't need to keep watch at night. Wild animals didn't dare to come, and very few people crossed over. Therefore, Yunyi easily reached the other side.

The village actually kept dogs, but after Thirteen took a walk around first, none of the dogs could bark anymore.

With Yang Chunni leading the way, Yunyi quickly found Gu Chengyun, who was carrying her small bundle as she came out of the stone house where she lived.

Since it was already late at night, and the sound of Shi Laosi snoring could be heard from inside the house, the slight creaking sound of the door opening could be ignored.

Yunyi didn't interfere, but waited until she went out the door and ran towards the edge of the village by the moonlight before following her.

Gu Chengyun had lived here for four years after all. Even if she had no memory of it, it didn't mean she had lost her intelligence. So, she was quite familiar with the whole village and knew that there was more than one way to get in and out of the village than crossing the river. There was also a cave at the back of the mountain that could be used to get out.

However, although she was born into a family of military officers, she was elegant like her mother from a young age and did not know martial arts, so it was too difficult for her to climb up the cave.

"Even if you keep climbing like this until tomorrow morning, you might not make it to the top." Yunyi couldn't bear to watch any longer and had no choice but to go over.

"Who are you? Ah!" Gu Chengyun was startled, but she exclaimed in surprise the next second, but fortunately she quickly covered her mouth.

But by this time, the two had already reached a cave three or four meters high.

Because it was night, visibility wasn't very good. Gu Chengyun knew it was a woman, so he wasn't too worried. Instead, he leaned closer to look: "You... Miss Fang?"

"Hehe." Yunyi laughed. "It seems your amnesia has been cured."

Gu Chengyun was stunned, realizing he had been too shocked and had given himself away. He then felt a little embarrassed: "I... I actually remembered after I came here a year ago, but the people in this village are not easy to get along with, so I could only continue to pretend I didn't know anything. Fortunately, Shi Laosi is the village chief's cousin. His son and daughter-in-law got into trouble while saving the village chief, so..." As he spoke, his nose tingled with tears, "I didn't know what was going on outside, so I didn't dare to go out. I didn't dare to ask around either. I could only stay here until Feng Yang came. I knew I had to leave. So, these days, I've been trying to tell them that I remembered and that I'm leaving. But, Shi Hulu's wife is dead."

Yun Yi understood. That Shi Hulu probably had designs on Gu Chengyun before, but at that time he had a wife and Shi Laosi and his wife, so he never made any rash moves. But now that Shi Hulu's wife is dead, it is only right that he remarry.

At this point, even if Gu Chengyun said she remembered and wanted to go find her family, they probably wouldn't let her leave.

"It seems I've arrived at the perfect time. In that case, come with me."

"Outside……"

Yunyi briefly explained Zhou Jingyu's situation: "He was seriously injured before, but he has been sending people to look for you."

Gu Chengyun's tears immediately fell.

"Now is not the time to be upset, Xiaoqi is still waiting for you outside."

"Xiao Qi?" Gu Chengyun was taken aback, realizing something, but he wasn't sure. "He...he..."

“It’s the little guy you’re thinking of.” Yunyi smiled. “He’s very cute, but you should be prepared, he’s never seen you before and doesn’t even know you exist, so…”

Gu Chengyun's tears, which she had just stopped, started flowing again: "It's okay, as long as he's alright." She never thought she would live to see her children again.

"Let's go."

"You can't go that way, the river is poisonous, that bridge..."

"I just walked over, I'm fine." Yunyi didn't explain much. "Hurry up, it'll be dawn soon, and if the villagers find you're gone, it'll be a real problem."

Gu Chengyun didn't say anything more, followed Yunyi out of the cave, and then walked out quietly.

Finally, as dawn broke, the two crossed the village and arrived at the pontoon bridge.

"Who goes there?" Just as the two were about to cross the bridge, a shout came from behind.

Dang Dang Dang!

Soon the sound of a broken gong echoed through the village. This gong was used in case of an emergency, and as soon as it was sounded, the whole village would come out.

Gu Chengyun immediately became anxious: "Fang Yunyi, hurry up and leave, or you won't be able to leave later."

Yunyi glanced behind her: "We can't leave anymore."

Gu Chengyun then realized that the pontoon bridge had already been raised, and became even more anxious: "Yunyi, if you can get over here, you can get out. Hurry up and leave. With Shidan here, they won't do anything to me."

“Since I’m already here, it would be so unfair of me to leave alone,” Yunyi shook her head. “Besides, your man has given me Jinlu Pavilion, I can’t just take the money and not do anything in return.”

Gu Chengyun's expression immediately became complicated, and he didn't know how to react for a moment. However, he quickly grabbed Yunyi's hand: "This is not about money. You should leave quickly, or it will be very troublesome."

"What's the trouble?" Yunyi glanced at the villagers who had gathered around. There were about fifty or sixty people, only seven or eight women and seven or eight children, the rest were all men.

“It’s very difficult for men here to find wives. Women from outside don’t want to come in. Sometimes they go out and buy wives, but many women want to run away after a short time. So… sometimes several brothers will share one wife, as long as she can bear a son, or they will exchange sisters for marriage.” Gu Chengyun’s voice trembled slightly. “After I came here, if it weren’t for Shidan needing someone to take care of him, I probably would have already…”
