Feng Wu looked at her with a serious expression. "What is it?"
Looking around, Aunt Four said, "We're surrounded by the Gao family. You've already met our old lady. As for our old master, he couldn't hold on any longer on the run. He's gone …
"The old lady gave birth to a total of five sons, and our eldest is the fourth."
"These two are the children of our fourth branch." Fourth Aunt hugged Xiaoshu and Fourth Maidservant on each side.
"Before he died, our old master told us to run north, because a plague had broken out in Maplewood City of Southern Yan, and it was spreading very quickly!
"The higher-ups sent people to seal off Maplewood City, and everyone in the city would die!
"But it was the people in Maplewood City who got the plague. Our village wasn't affected, but it was still going to be burned to death! That's why everyone in our village ran away.
"We ran in a hurry and didn't bring many things with us, so it's been very inconvenient.
"It's been a drought for the past six months, and the harvest hasn't been good. Many places are suffering from famine, and we can't buy any food on our way north."
Feng Wu frowned. "There used to be some food in storage, right?"
Gao Mingjiang was standing behind Aunt Four. He shook his head and smiled wryly. "Even if there was food, it's in the hands of the government. We can't buy it."
"But I heard that there's no war, plague, or drought in Northern Yan, so we're going there." Gao Mingjiang looked at Feng Wu earnestly. "Miss, I wonder …"
Feng Wu made up an identity for herself, saying that her parents were dead, and she had been begging for a living. Later, she ate an unknown wild fruit and suffered from stomach pain. That was why she was living in this cave.
Feng Wu said it in a normal tone, but to her surprise, Gao Mingjiang and Aunt Four looked at each other and saw pity in each other's eyes.
Even the woman who had spoken harshly earlier softened her tone. "You look even more pitiful than we do." "That's right." Feng Wu frowned.
Feng Wu smiled wryly. She was being hunted everywhere. How could she not be pitiful?
The Zuo Family, the Hua Family, the Eastern Sang Nation … and that Princess Rao of the Northern Yan Nation whom he had never met …
Seeing that Feng Wu was lost in thought, Aunt Three thought that she had hit the nail on the head and was upset. She waved her hand and said, "Well, since you've eaten the pancake, just eat it. I won't argue with you anymore."
After that, she waved her hand and lay down on her bedding.
The cave was extremely small. The thirty or so people were all gathered in one room. The ground was filled with people, and there was almost no space for them to step on.
Aunt Four had been taking good care of Feng Wu. She arranged for Feng Wu to lie on the innermost side of the bed, while she herself lay next to Feng Wu, preventing anyone else from touching her.
Seeing that Feng Wu was lost in thought, Aunt Four patted her on the shoulder. "It's fine. Go to sleep. We have a long journey tomorrow."
Feng Wu knew that Aunt Four was referring to them when she said they were in a hurry.
They lacked clothes, food, water … they lacked everything. They had to enter the territory of Northern Yan as soon as possible in order to survive.
Feng Wu nodded, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.
With her disguise, it wasn't impossible for her to enter Northern Yan alone, but it would be much riskier if she did it alone.
That silver-haired man with the butterfly mask was the main culprit.
The people of Dongsang were very good at hunting. She didn't know what they were doing, but they seemed to be chasing her relentlessly.
