Chapter 89: The Prophecy Dream Reappears

Others showered Madam Xu with compliments, causing her to blush.

“I saw Yinyin’s pocket and that’s why I had this idea. You should praise her.”

Su Yin waved her hand, “No, no, no, I didn’t expect this.”

Madam Xu listened to the people around her talking about her. The praise warmed her heart.

She had always been afraid that she would be disliked by others if she was a burden.

She had always thought about how to help, and now she could help, which made her anxious heart feel much more at ease.

The third aunt said, “We are rushing to work tonight.”

“Everyone can say whatever else they have in mind, anything that can help the team. Even if you are not sure, you can talk about it.” Su Yin encouraged everyone to speak freely.

We chatted like this for half an hour before it was over.

Seeing her aunts looking for old clothes and preparing to cut the fabric for pockets, Su Yin took out a piece of cloth from the carriage.

“My aunt uses this piece of cloth. Let’s sew the pocket as deep as possible so that the contents inside won’t fall out easily.”

My aunt looked at the new fabric with great reluctance.

“No, it’s too wasteful to use this. We can just find some old clothes and cut them up.”

“Girl Su, you can’t be so wasteful.”

My sister-in-law also smiled and said: “Yinyin, you are not afraid that your mother will spank you tomorrow morning. .”

A group of women just didn’t agree and refused directly.

They found a worn-out piece of clothing, cut it out, and sewed it.

The men discussed the vigil among themselves.

Wan Sanye watched the lively group in the yard, his gaze lingering on Su Yin with admiration.

After leaving Xinghua Village, he could sense everyone’s apprehension about leaving the army.

No one spoke of it, but the feeling was palpable.

Tonight’s discussion had dispelled their worries and ignited everyone’s enthusiasm.

This was a truly clever move.

The more he observed this girl, the more extraordinary she seemed!

Late at night, everyone drifted off to sleep. Only a few men, keeping vigil, sat in the yard, chatting.

[The tall city gates were tightly shut, and a group of gaunt refugees sat or lay sprawled outside.

Their eyes were dull and lifeless. Occasionally, they would stir when a crow landed on them.

The city gate creaked open, and several servants emerged, pushing buckets of porridge.

The people, lying on the ground like corpses, rose one after another and shuffled towards the crude huts built by the city wall, forming a conscious line.

In a flash, the queue stretched long, resembling a black dragon.

A group of newly arrived refugees halted one after another, settling outside the city gate, and rushed towards the porridge shed.

Late at night, a group of veiled men in black emerged from the city gate. Armed with sharp knives, they charged towards the helpless refugees, laden with their belongings.

In the dark night, countless people were beheaded, their chests pierced by sharp swords.

Wails and cries echoed in the dark night.

Bright red blood flowed, pooling into a winding ‘river’.

The scent of blood tinged the morning fog with a crimson hue.

Su Yin jolted awake, gasping for breath.

She hadn’t dreamt in a long time, and today’s dream was likely a precognitive one.

She clearly remembered the three large characters carved on the city gate – [Hui’an Mansion].

Hui’an Prefecture was the capital city of Nanping County.

This was also Wan Sanye’s destination.

Su Yin raised her head and glanced at the sky. It was still early before dawn.

She rose, without alerting anyone, walked outside the courtyard gate, and began punching.

Butcher Yang followed suit, standing behind Su Yin, mimicking her boxing skills.

After half an hour, they both stopped moving.

Butcher Yang breathed a sigh of relief, “Yinyin, what’s the name of this boxing technique of yours?

After I finished fighting with you, I felt completely comfortable all over.”

“Wing Chun.”

“What a good name. No wonder I didn’t feel well after I finished fighting. Same.”

“Uncle Yang can practice with me every day if he wants.”

Yang Dashu had practiced with Su Yin before, but she wasn’t sure if he would persist after she left.

If he could persevere, even if he didn’t reach the level of a martial arts master, he could still strengthen his body.

“Okay.”

People began to stir in the yard, rising one after another. This morning, they simply ate yesterday’s pancakes with a little water to tide them over.

Uncle and the others had already started sorting through each family’s belongings, figuring out what should be loaded into which cart.

The Su Yin family’s mule cart mainly contained grain. Each family’s grain was marked, making it difficult to make mistakes. There were also some buckets placed there.

To prevent the water in the buckets from splashing and getting the grain wet, the buckets were specially secured.

In fact, Su Yin wanted to separate the water from the food, but everyone was worried, so she let them be.

Uncle’s family’s ox cart was filled with numerous pots, pans, and water. Butcher Yang’s family’s ox cart was only half filled with lighter items, the remaining seats reserved for the children, so adults wouldn’t have to carry them on their backs.

It was very difficult for adults to push a stroller, carry a child on their back, and keep rushing.

The remaining three carts contained bedding, clothes, and other light luggage.

Everything was neatly organized, with space for people to sit.

While not convenient for adults to sit on, a baby aged one or two could be placed on the cart.

After getting organized, the team of thirty-seven people set off in the morning light.

As soon as they departed, they happened to encounter a group of people from the south view of the village, also setting off.

Su Yin and Nan Jingzhi nodded slightly in greeting.

The two parties tacitly opened a distance, rushing forward and backward.

After walking for a while, Nan Jingzhi glanced behind him. He thought he wouldn’t be able to see them, but he didn’t expect the group to still be following behind.

The people in their team were mostly young adults, and they moved very fast. It was difficult for ordinary refugees to keep up with their pace, even with a carriage.

Along the way from Yuzhou, they encountered many fleeing people.

Today, it was surprising that this group could actually keep up with them.

It was rare!

As they approached Hui’an Prefecture, the number of refugees increased. Most were traveling with their families, while only a few were on their own.

Whenever someone approached them, Yang Dashan and the others would draw their knives.

Seeing the knives, those people dared not advance any further.

“Fat Master, if you go further, you’ll find Hui’an Mansion, right?”

“Yes.”

“Are you planning to part ways with us at Hui’an Mansion?”

“Yes,” Mr. Wan San nodded.

Su Yin thought of her dream from last night and cautioned, “I don’t recommend staying in Hui’an Prefecture.

Along the way, you must have seen the situation in Nanping County. It’s not safe to remain here. It’s better to move on to the next place.”

“That’s what I meant.”

That had been his initial plan, but the circumstances on the road had caused him to reconsider.
