The peaceful village was abruptly disturbed by a hurried villager. Breathing heavily and looking flustered, he shouted, "Not good! Young Master Mu, Young Master Fu, Master Su! A great battle has broken out at the junction of Wei, Shu, and Wu, and the flames of war are about to reach us!" This news struck like a thunderclap, instantly igniting panic throughout the village. The previously orderly rhythm of life came to a halt as villagers fell into a state of fear.
Mu Yunfan, Fu Xingchen, and Su Yizhi quickly gathered together upon hearing the news. Mu Yunfan furrowed his brow and said, "What are we going to do? The villagers have just started to live a stable life, and now with this war, all our plans will be ruined." Fu Xingchen clenched his fists, his gaze resolute: "No matter what, we must ensure the safety of our fellow villagers. We need to think of a solution quickly."
Su Yizhi pondered for a moment and said, "The urgent task is to gather the villagers, inform them of the situation, and discuss evacuation." The three swiftly made their way to the center of the village. Mu Yunfan called out loudly, "Fellow villagers, don’t panic! Listen to me! War is approaching; we need to prepare for evacuation immediately. Please gather your valuable belongings and bring some food and water."
The villagers gathered around, their faces filled with fear and confusion. An elderly man trembled as he asked, "Young Master Mu, where can we evacuate to? With the chaos of war, nowhere is safe."
Fu Xingchen stepped forward to reassure him. "Elder, don’t worry. There’s a deep mountain nearby with several caves where we can take refuge for the time being. The terrain there is difficult to access and easy to defend; we can avoid the flames of war for now." Su Yizhi added, "Yes, let’s go there first and wait until the conflict subsides before returning." Hearing this, the villagers felt somewhat relieved and hurried home to pack their things.
Mu Yunfan, Fu Xingchen, and Su Yizhi began organizing the evacuation efforts. Mu Yunfan directed the strong young villagers to help care for the elderly and children. "Brother, you take care of Old Wang's family; they have difficulty walking. Go help Aunt Li pack; she has many things." He arranged everything methodically. Fu Xingchen and Su Yizhi went from house to house checking on the villagers' preparations.
At one household, Fu Xingchen saw a sister frantically packing clothes while her child cried nearby. He rushed over to help her while soothing the child. "Sister, don’t panic; I’ll help you. Pack only the essentials and food; leave everything else behind; we need to move quickly." The sister looked at him gratefully, calming down as she worked alongside Fu Xingchen.
Su Yizhi arrived at the village entrance where several villagers were arguing over loading items onto a cart. Everyone wanted to bring more things but were arguing due to limited space in the cart. Su Yizhi quickly intervened: "Fellow villagers, stop arguing! We need to consider the bigger picture; let’s prioritize loading the elderly, children, and food onto the cart first. Anything else that can be left behind should be left behind. Once we are safe again, we can return for it." The villagers agreed with his reasoning and ceased their quarrel, redistributing space on the cart.
With everything ready, the villagers set off towards the deep mountains with their families and belongings in tow. Mu Yunfan led the group at the front while Fu Xingchen and Su Yizhi ensured everyone stayed together in case anyone fell behind. Although they moved quickly along the way, order was maintained. Whenever they encountered rough terrain, young villagers proactively helped support the elderly and children while carrying luggage.
Halfway through their journey, it suddenly began to rain heavily. The rain soaked everyone’s clothes as the road became muddy and difficult to traverse. A child slipped and fell to the ground crying. Mu Yunfan hurried over to help him up and took off his outer coat to drape over him. "Don’t be afraid; uncle is here." Fu Xingchen and Su Yizhi called for everyone to take shelter in a nearby cave from the rain.
Once inside the cave, Mu Yunfan counted heads and sighed in relief upon finding no one missing. Fu Xingchen took out some fire starters and lit a pile of firewood for warmth. Su Yizhi comforted the frightened villagers: "Fellow villagers, just hold on a little longer; once the rain stops, we’ll soon reach a safe place."
The villagers sat around the campfire; though exhausted, they felt more at ease thanks to Fu Xingchen's arrangements. As soon as the rain eased up slightly, everyone got back on their feet and continued toward the refuge caves in the deep mountains.
