Feng Wu chuckled. “It’s worthwhile. I won’t be able to protect so much food anyway.”

Li agreed with her. “It’s just that I feel sorry tor you when you had to give away so much nice flour.”

Both sides were making pancakes.

Because of Gao Mingjiang’s words, Li was making pancakes out of pure wheat flour, but not the old lady.

Wheat flour was such a precious commodity that the old lady couldn’t bring herself to make plain flour pancakes. She had mixed some corn flour, sorghum powder, and other coarse grains into the flour, and there was a big bowl of the mixture.

They didn’t have much time to rest and cook because they had been moving as fast as they could. No one knew when the plague would arrive, or when the Southern Yan Kingdom would catch them.

Li made 300 pancakes with about 30 kg of flour, and she was exhausted. However, her eyes lit up when she saw all the pancakes, for food meant they could live.

Li put the pancakes into a sack once they cooled down and handed the sack to Feng Wu.

Feng Wu shook her head. “I can’t carry that much. Please keep it for me. I’ll get it from you when I need to eat.”

Li also realized that Feng Wu was going to sit in their carriage, so she nodded and helped Feng Wu put the pancakes in the carriage.

Feng Wu looked curiously at the three carriages.

From their conversation, she could tell that they were all ordinary farmers. Having a cow was already supposed to be a big deal, but the Gao family had three carriages.

Seeing that Feng Wu was perplexed, Li explained to her with a smile. “My husband found them.”

Found them?

Seeing that Feng Wu was confused, Li whispered in her ear and told her about their most dangerous journey.

As it turned out, they ran into bandits a few days after they left the Southern Yan Kingdom. The bandits were attacking a large family, and many of them were killed or injured.

Both sides were well-matched in strength and lost about the same number of people. In the end, the bandits killed the last member of the family, but they didn’t have many men left either.

Gao Mingjiang took the lead, killed the remaining bandits, and took the three carriages. As for the wealth of that family, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to take them, but that family had set their chests on fire before they died.

“But with these three carriages, we can travel much faster. It was supposed to take us ten days to get here, but it only took us three to four days.”

Feng Wu asked, “Are carriages only twice as fast?”

Li smiled bitterly. “It would have been much faster, but there are so many of us here, and we can’t fit all 30 people inside. The elderly and children can take the carriage, together with all the food we have. The carriages are packed to the brim. As for the adults, we still have to walk on foot.”

It was almost noon when a young man came to inform them that they were leaving in 15 minutes.

Feng Wu recognized the man. Li told her, “This is Gao Mingkun, my husband’s fifth brother.”

Feng Wu nodded.

Gao Mingkun looked at Feng Wu and found the little beggar familiar. He narrowed his eyes. “Have we met before?”

Feng Wu’s stomach lurched, and she said indifferently, “Really? I don’t think so. ”

Li immediately said, “Mingkun, you must be mistaken. Miss Feng has been sick in the cave this whole time. I don’t think you’ve ever met her..”
