"Father is right. We have to remain safe!" Yuan Pan Di immediately came out to flatter his father, "I'm not afraid of being poor. It's better than anything to have a safe family."
"Big brother is right!" After Yuan Pan Di flattered his father, Yuan Wang Di, Yuan Lai Di, and Yuan Zhao Di spoke up as well, expressing their agreement with their eldest brother.
"Get lost!" Old Yuan looked at his sons in a bad mood.
The scene of a serious question discussion was forcibly made funny by them.
"Yes sir!"
The five sons responded in unison and then left.
This path was very well-hidden, so walking was naturally not easy. It was easier for adults with heights and long legs to walk this path.
It was clearly a difficult path for the woman and the children.
Yuan Pan Di and the others had to lead the way. Due to this delay, they did not manage to leave the mountains before dark and had to spend the night in the mountains.
The mountains were high, and the forest was dense, so there would be many wild beasts.
To ensure safety at night, Old Yuan let his five sons keep watch. Other than that, they also seized the time to prepare a large amount of dry wood.
Several bonfires were lit.
It was still early spring, and the night was still freezing. Having more bonfires helped keep them warm and prevented the wild beasts hiding in the dark from approaching.
"Father, go and sleep for a while. We'll guard at night, and we'll ensure your safety!"
It was already late at night. Seeing his father's heavy eyelids, Yuan Pan Di, the eldest son, spoke respectfully.
"I'm not sleepy!" Old Yuan forced his eyes open and shook his head slightly.
He was exhausted, but he did not dare to sleep no matter how tired he was.
Seeing that the family was about to escape, he was more worried. It was at these last moments that he had to remain alert. Although he had not studied much in his younger days, he knew about the saying that failure always occurs at the last moment.
"Father, we still have a long way to go. You're our family's stabilizing force. If you don't sleep well and something happens to you on the road, it'll be even more difficult for us to get out of the mountain in a short time!" Yuan Pan Di looked at his father with a serious expression.
Unfortunately, Old Yuan still waved his hand.
Seeing this, Yuan Pan Di did not say anything. He suddenly felt that he had been nagging too much.
Looking at his father's posture, it might not take long for him to fall asleep. Sure enough, he started nodding after a while and snored.
"He fell asleep?" Following Old Yuan's snoring, Yuan Zhao Di went up to his eldest brother.
"Yes, he's asleep!" Yuan Pan Di chuckled.
When Yuan Zhao Di heard this, he immediately leaned against the tree next to his father and collapsed on the ground, "I'm so tired!"
"Cut the crap and keep your spirits up!" Yuan Pan Di glared at Yuan Zhao Di, "We're in the mountains now. We can't afford to be careless."
"Big brother, I'm just going to take a short nap!"
Yuan Zhao Di was tired.
He had to walk carefully along the way as he carried his daughter in front and his son on his back. Compared to his older brothers, who only had their luggage, Yuan Zhao Di was much more tired.
"Big brother, let fourth brother rest for a while!"
Yuan Wang Di also came over, "It's enough for me and third brother to keep watch!"
Among the five brothers, Yuan Wang Di and Yuan Lai Di were the strongest and the most competitive.
If it weren't for Old Yuan's good teaching and the fact that he had been suppressing the brothers' temperaments since they were young, they would have caused a lot of trouble.
