“Yes, I’ll speed up when I get back. We’ll meet again before noon tomorrow at the latest.”
MO Ruyue was also reluctant to part with the babies.
They had stayed in her space for so long. They were clearly the closest to each other, but they barely had time to see each other. In fact, they had not even seen each other as much as before the natural disaster.
It would be a lie to say that she didn’t feel guilty.
She wanted to do her best to make it up to them.
“Ruyue, let’s go. It’s too tiring for you to come and go in such a hurry. If you have anything to say, wait until we meet tomorrow.”
Aunt Liu saw the babies sticking to MO Ruyue and chatting away. She knew that she would not be able to leave if they continued to delay.
Soon, MO Ruyue left the courtyard.
However, she did not ride a horse this time. Instead, she silently climbed over the city wall alone and left on her horse after leaving a certain distance.
On the other side, Gu Ying and Deng Feng stayed where they were and waited for MO Ruyue to return. They also prepared the ingredients for dinner.
It was getting late, and he didn’t know what was going on ahead. Perhaps he would have to camp here tonight.
“Brother-in-law, I’ll bring the horses nearby to look for some grass. We have food and drink, but the horses can’t stop eating.”
Deng Feng dismounted the horse that was pulling the carriage. He could only get close to Gu Ying’s Little Black and MO Ruyue’s Big Black, but he could not bring them away.
The way he addressed Gu Ying was becoming more and more fluent. It was only after he finished speaking that he realized what he had just called him.
“Alright, Brother Feng, you go first. I’ll watch the fire here and wait for Bing
‘Er to come back.”
Gu Ying naturally responded to his words. He stood up and walked to Little Black’s side, patting its neck.
“Little Black, follow Brother Deng. Don’t throw a tantrum.”
With his words, Little Black nodded repeatedly and took the initiative to walk to Deng Feng’s side and rub its head against him.
“Alright, I’ll be leaving first. You guys can eat first when Ruyue comes back. Don’t wait for me.”
Not long after Deng Feng left with a few horses, MO Ruyue came back riding on Big Black. She couldn’t see Deng Feng at first glance, so she asked casually, “Ying, where’s Brother Feng?”
“He just left. He left not long ago. You came back right after he left.”
Gu Ying walked over and held MO Ruyue’s hand as they sat down by the fire.
“I’ll get Big Black to follow. It can follow Little Black’s scent and tell Brother Feng that I’m back.”
MO Ruyue whistled. The big black horse immediately raised its head and galloped away with a neigh.
“How is it? Have you settled down over there?”
Gu Ying saw her calm expression and knew that there should be no problem.
“Yes, there’s a medium-sized city a few dozen miles ahead. I rented a courtyard in the city and arranged for the babies, Uncle Liu, and Aunt Liu to stay there.
“Tomorrow, we will speed up and try to enter the city before noon. I’ve prepared some food and herbs. I’m afraid it will attract attention if it’s too long.”
Although MO Ruyue had already made some arrangements before she left, she was still worried.
Having wolves and dogs at home could more or less deter them. The babies had also practiced some self-defense skills, but it was still very risky to really encounter robbers.
“Don’t worry, they were trained by you, Bing ‘Er. Although it hasn’t been long, their skills in setting up ambushes and traps are very high. They will definitely be able to protect themselves.”
Gu Ying was much more confident in the babies than MO Ruyue.
Because she was too worried and put in too much effort, she often worried about her gains and losses and could not see the real situation clearly.
“Yes, I believe in your judgment. If you say there would not be any problems, then there would really be no problems.”
MO Ruyue finally felt a little relieved after being comforted.
She took over the task of preparing dinner. She would be meeting the babies tomorrow. To celebrate, she specially prepared a few more dishes and even took out a small pot of white wine.
Deng Feng returned after an hour.
The evening sky rose, and the desolate official road was deserted. Only the bright and warm bonfire guided him back.
The rich aroma of food filled the air. Even though Deng Feng was dozens of meters away, he was still tempted. He listened to the rumbling sound, touched his stomach, and laughed at himself.
“I’m already used to it. I’ll definitely scream when I smell the fragrance!”
He had been with MO Ruyue for a long time, and only then did he realize that her culinary skills were not any worse than her medical skills.
When they were in the survivor camp, everyone ate together. As long as there was food, it was good enough. They couldn’t pick the taste.
MO Ruyue was even busier every day. She was busy treating the wounded, helping to find a place to stay, plowing the fields and plowing the spring. She had no chance to cook at all.
The survivors were even more unwilling to let MO Ruyue cook for them while working. They took the initiative to do these chores.
In the end, no one knew what kind of treasure they had missed.
Deng Feng was also deeply shocked after he tasted MO Ruyue’s barbecue on his first night outside after leaving the survivor camp.
“Brother Feng, you’re back! Come over and wipe your hands. It’s time to eat!”
MO Ruyue’s voice could be heard in the night breeze, which made Deng Feng quicken his pace. As he led the horse back, he replied loudly, “Hey, I’m coming!’
When he saw Big Black running over, he knew that MO Ruyue had returned. She had sent Big Black over to graze, and was also sending him a message.
Fortunately, they found a patch of grass after walking for a short while. There were specks of green on the grass. It was the tender grass that horses loved to eat the most.
The weather in the north was relatively cold, but spring had arrived. The degree of disaster here was getting lighter, and even the animals and plants had increased.
Deng Feng had only taken a few steps when he heard a mournful wolf howl behind him.
Deng Feng turned around warily and stared at the darkness behind him. As expected, he saw a dim light.
The horses that were originally following behind had long been used to the existence of the giant wolves and had become less afraid of the existence of the wolves.
Although they smelled another unfamiliar wolf scent, they only stirred slightly. Soon, they gathered around Deng Feng and calmed down again. “Brother Feng, leave this to me. You go eat with Bing ‘Er.”
Gu Ying silently landed beside Deng Feng. The distance of tens of meters was just a few ups and downs for him.
“Okay, you take care of yourself too. I’ll go first.”
Deng Feng knew that Gu Ying was very capable and unpredictable. Not only would he not be of any help if he stayed here, but he would also become a burden to him. He immediately turned around and left.
Deng Feng had taken the horses away, leaving Gu Ying alone.
A few of the dim lights in the distance dimmed and gradually moved away from the two sides, as if they were going to surround Deng Feng. The person facing Gu Ying was staring at him, trying to restrict his movements..
