Chapter 3740: The Plague (1)

Feng Wu looked at Mrs. Gao, “Yes?”

Mrs. Gao looked around and said to Feng Wu, “Everyone here is from the Gao family. You’ve met the old lady already. As for my father-in-law, he didn’t survive the journey…

“The old lady has five sons, and my husband is her fourth son.

“These are our children.” Mrs. Gao put her arms around Xiaoshu and Sanya.

“Before he died, my father-in-law told us to run as fast as we could to the north because a plague broke out in Maple Forest City of Southern Yan, and it’s spreading very fast!

“They’ve sent someone to shut down Maple Forest City. Everyone there is going to die!

“The infected were from Maple Forest City, and Gao Village was fine, but we were going to be burnt to death anywvay! So, the people of our village ran out in a hurry.

“We were in such a hurry and didn’t take many things with us. It was very inconvenient.

“It just so happens that it’s been a drought for the past six months, and we’re running out of food. There’s been a famine in many places, and we can’t get any food at all on our way north.”

Feng Wu frowned. “You should have some food stored up from last year, right?”

Gao Mingjiang was standing behind his wife. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. “Even if there is, it’s still in the hands of the officials. We can’t buy it.

“But I heard that there’s no war, no plague, and no drought in Northern Yan, so we’re heading there.” Gao Mingjiang looked at Feng Wu. “Miss…”

Feng Wu made up an identity for herself, saying that her parents were dead and she had to beg for a living. She then ate some unknown fruit and had a stomachache. That was why she had been living in this cave.

Feng Wu only said it in a casual tone, but Gao Mingjiang and his wife saw pity in each other’s eyes.

Even the woman, who had been very harsh before, softened her tone when she glanced at Feng Wu. “You had a harder time than us.”

Feng Wu smiled bitterly. She was being chased around, and of course she had a hard time.

The Zuo family, the Hua family, the Dongsang Kingdom, and Princess Rao of the Northern Yan Kingdom..

Seeing that Feng Wu was lost in her thoughts, that woman thought that she had hit the nail on the head, so she waved at Feng Wu. “There, there. Eat that pancake. I won’t hold it against you.”

After that, she gave a wave of her hand and lay down on the bed she made for herself.

The cave was quite small, and each branch of the family formed a little group.

Everyone was lying on the ground, and there wasn’t even room to walk around.

Mrs. Gao had taken care of Feng Wu well. She put Feng Wu on the spot closest to the inner circle, while she lay down next to Feng Wu, blocking the other people’s gaze.

Seeing that Feng Wu had been lost in her thoughts, Mrs. Gao patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry. Go to bed. We still have to travel tomorrow.”

Feng Wu knew that she was talking about the Gao family.

They were short of clothes, food, water, and everything else. They had to get to Northern Yan as soon as possible to survive.

Feng Wu nodded, closed her eyes, and went into deep thought.

With her disguise skills, she could enter Northern Yan on her own, but it would be much more risky.

It was mainly because of the silver-masked man.

The Dongsang Kingdom was very good at hunting people. Somehow, they seemed to be able to get to her..
