Chapter 3762

Li nodded. She knew what Gao Mingjiang meant. "We haven't settled down in the Northern Yan Kingdom yet, and we don't know if we'll live or die..." She heaved a long sigh, her eyes filled with sorrow. 

Both children gave their mother concerned looks. 

Sensing their uneasiness, Li rubbed their heads and smiled bitterly. "You guys should eat now. We'll be on our way when you're full." 

Sanya asked, "Mom, will be in danger?"

Before Li could say anything, Gao Mingjiang said, "Dad's here. There's no danger. Just eat and sleep. Everything will be fine when we get to Northern Yan."

Sanya and Xiaoshu nodded solemnly.

Seeing that Sanya had stopped eating after two bites, Li asked, "Why won't you eat?" 

With a solemn look on her face, Sanya said, "Mother, we don't know how dangerous this journey will be, and we don't know if we'll have anything to eat in the future... I want to save my food and take another bite when I'm starving..."

"Honey..." Li sighed and pulled Sanya into her arms. "Things will get better. We'll have enough food and warm clothes when we get there..." It was late autumn, and the air was colder in the middle of the night.  

Gao Mingjiang's family was better prepared. They used to have two bedrolls, but because the other families didn't have enough bedding, the old lady took one of them and gave it to her third son. 

Before Feng Wu arrived, Gao Mingjiang's family had been shivering on their 1.5 m bedding. The two children slept in the middle, while Li and Gao Mingjiang, who had been sleeping on either side of the bed, were mostly exposed. Now that Feng Wu had found a new bedroll, she took the two kids and shared a bed. Li and Gao Mingjiang shared another. Everybody slept well now. 

The family found a leeward spot behind a big rock and were ready to sleep when they heard footsteps. "Sister-in-law..." It sounded like the second daughter-in-law, who didn't talk much. Feng Wu yawned and thought to herself. 

Sanya, who had been sleeping soundly in Feng Wu's arms, woke up right away and was on the alert. She looked like a bristling cat. Xiaoshu was alarmed as well.

Feng Wu looked at them in bewilderment and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Throwing her arms around Feng Wu, Sanya asked nervously, "Sister Feng, are we going to lose our bed?"

In the dark, Feng Wu saw that Sanya was looking at her nervously, and so was Xiaoshu. Feng Wu was confused. "How can someone take our bed?" 

Sanya said, "Can we keep our bed, then?" She knew by now how capable Sister Feng was. Even her grandmother wouldn't be her match. 

Feng Wu nodded. "Of course. Why should we give our own bed to someone else? What should we sleep on?" In order to avoid detection, Feng Wu had destroyed her own cultivation and was too weak to withstand the cold. 

The two kids nodded immediately, their eyes twinkling. By then, Li had left with her sister-in-law. They didn't go very far because it would be dangerous. That distance was enough for Feng Wu to hear their conversation. After praising Li's family, the second daughter-in-law went on crying about how difficult it had been for them. In the end, she turned to Li for help. "Sister-in-law, there's nothing else I can do... Otherwise, I wouldn't have..."
