Chapter 3739: Recover (3)

Feng Wu’s stomach growled before she could say anything.

Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.

Mrs. Gao smiled at Feng Wu and said, “Eat it while it’s still hot. It’s hard to reheat, and if you don’t eat it now, it’ll harden again. It’ll be such a hassle when it becomes as hard as rock.”

Feng Wu nodded at her, then started eating the pancake.

She was really hungry, so she ate very fast. Before she knew it, she had finished two pancakes and emptied the bamboo tube.

Only then did she realize how hungry she was after all the injuries she had suffered during the escape. How embarrassing. Feng Wu smiled bitterly.

Just then, Feng Wu heard a lot of whispering.

There were men and women.

“The little beggar doesn’t look like she’s been infected by the plague. People who are infected don’t eat that way. I think she can eat a cow!”

“It’s a pancake made from fine flour, so of course it’s delicious. I can swallow a pancake as big as a cow!”

“Mingjiang’s wife is so generous. Where did she get those pancakes? We only ate porridge with grass in it!”

“That’s right. Why wouldn’t she care about her family? Why did she give anything to us?!”

“Even if there’s not enough for the adults, she can always give some to the kids.

Each of them can at least have a taste of the pancake!”

With all the noise, Feng Wu could see that Mrs. Gao didn’t look too happy.

What made her even more speechless was that they were bickering over two plain pancakes. Was this world still the same as the one she knew?

Mrs. Gao turned to the others and said coldly, “The pancakes didn’t come from the family kitchen. My mother’s family risked their lives to send them here. They’re for Xiaoshu and Sanya. There are only so many of them, so what’s wrong with me giving them to this girl?!

“As you all know, Sanya and Xiaoshu almost drowned today, but their savior left after saving them, and my family didn’t have a chance to thank her. I just happened to run into this girl, and I want to save her life. I’ll consider it as repayment for my savior. Can’t I do that?!

“If you really want to eat pancakes, ask your own family to send some!” Mrs. Go glanced at the others.

Many turned away at her gaze, but by the looks of it, they were complaining inwardly.

Feng Wu was confused. What was going on in the Yan Kingdom?

She was so confused that she asked Mrs. Gao.

Mrs. Gao looked at Feng Wu in bewilderment. “Don’t you know?”

Feng Wu smiled bitterly. She could only make up stories about how she had been ill in the cave these days and had no idea what was going on outside.

“You’ve been ill for a long time.” Mrs. Gao gave Feng Wu a sympathetic look and smiled wryly. “The Yan Kingdom is in chaos because of the war and the plague.

Feng Wu asked, “War and plague?”

Mrs. Gao nodded solemnly. “I don’t know much about the war, and my husband can explain to you later. As for the plague…”

Tears welled up in her eyes at the mention of the plague.

She wasn’t the only one. The others had tears in their eyes as well, and no one cared about the two pancakes anymore. They all went back to their work in silence..
