Chapter 11: Arriving at Qing'an Prefecture
Editor: Henyee Translations
As she spoke, Gu Yunke licked her lips as if she was reminiscing. Then, she swallowed her saliva.
Gu Yundong did not expect her to remember. At that time, Gu Yunke was in a sleepy daze and Gu Yundong thought that she did not have much of an impression.
She had to think of an excuse to fool the little girl.
However, before she could speak, the little girl said obediently, "Brother, then… then what delicious food did you dream of last night?"
"I didn't dream of anything. Little Sister, when you dream of that sweet sugar water again tonight, can you share it with me? I want to go to your dream too." Gu Yunshu looked serious as he held her small hand and begged sincerely.
Gu Yunke nodded hurriedly. "Alright, let's drink together."
Madam Yang wiped her saliva. "I want to drink it too."
"Yes, bring Mother and Eldest Sister. Drink it all. It's really delicious." The little girl's eyes were curved into crescents. Perhaps it was because she had eaten better these two meals, but she was much more energetic than yesterday. "It would be even better if I dreamed of meat."
Gu Yundong: "…" You really dare to think about it.
She rubbed her temples and sat up. Gu Yunshu, who had heard the commotion, immediately walked over. "Big Sister, you're awake?"
"What time is it?"
"Nine a.m."
Gu Yundong was a little surprised. It was actually past nine o'clock. No wonder she felt hot under the thin blanket.
"Sister, why do we have pancakes and steamed buns?" He had just eaten one. It smelled so good.
"The people next door gave it to me last night. I helped them a little and it was to thank us." Gu Yundong wiped his face and told them to pack up. It was time for them to leave.
It was a little hot at this time, but there was nothing she could do. She was worried about no one keeping watch at night, so she could only keep guard herself. She would sleep when Madam Yang woke up, so they had less time to travel.
Gu Yundong found another small basket in the courtyard and carried it on her back. She placed the bag of rice, steamed buns, and pancakes inside and even covered them with a blanket. In fact, she placed them in her spatial storage and would secretly took them out when she needed to.
This way, the burden on Madam Yang would be less.
She still carried Gu Yunke on her back in the basket. In fact, according to Gu Yundong's knowledge, Gu Yunshu was young and his bones had not grown well, and he was not suitable to walk for a long time.
After a few days, when she recovered her strength, she could carry her younger sister. Her younger brother could be carried by Madam Yang for a while.
The family of four set off again. Perhaps because they had something in their stomachs, their faces were no longer as gray as yesterday. Especially Gu Yunshu, the despair that seemed to be about to make him collapse yesterday could no longer be found.
They walked very slowly and rested most of the time. They were not afraid with food in their hands.
Gu Yundong focused on finding places with few people. It was too easy for the four of them to be targeted. But even so, the people they met looked at them with greed.
Gu Yundong held a dagger in her hand. The dagger was deliberately smeared with blood. Whoever dared to approach her, she would smile bloodthirstily and ferociously at that person, scaring many tall and burly people into fleeing.
There were also some who were not afraid of death. Gu Yundong did not show any mercy.
After walking for a few days, they were safe and did not get robbed.
Sometimes, they would stay in the wilderness. At times like this, Gu Yundong would be exceptionally cautious.
After a few times, Gu Yunshu realized that his eldest sister kept watch every night and did not dare to sleep. His heart ached and he felt terrible, so he insisted on switching places with her.
Gu Yundong rejected him firmly and coldly. She was worried about letting such a young child guard the night. A child's sleepiness was not something he could control by himself. He would fall asleep quickly if he got sleepy.
She would rather set off later and travel slower than take this risk. She only had one life.
After traveling slowly for another month, they finally arrived at Qing'an Prefecture.
