Walking through the mountains and crossing the ridges, they finally reached a safe place after a few days.
The land was desolate. Lin Yifan wasn't sure whether this group of virtuous women planned to live a pastoral life here or move to the small town for city living, so he asked, "Do you want to rebuild your home here, or spend the rest of your life in a bustling place?"
This group of virtuous women had endured enough of being violated by bandits, and thus didn't want to rebuild their home in a remote area. However, the small town had its own drawbacks; although there were many people, there were also arrogant thugs and domineering clan offspring.
After thinking it over, they decided to rebuild their home near the small town, at least to intimidate the bandits from invading.
Having an answer, Lin Yifan found it much easier to proceed, so he continued to lead the group of virtuous women onward.
A few days later, they arrived at a place a few kilometers from the small town.
